Re:      Employment Agreement

Dear Roy:

         As we have previously discussed, Wonderware Corporation (the "Company")
is pleased to offer you the position of President and Chief Operating Officer on
the  terms  set  forth  below  (the  "Agreement"),  beginning  on June  1,  1995
("Effective Date").

         1. Duties and  Responsibilities.  As the Company's  President and Chief
Operating Officer, you will perform the duties customarily  associated with this
position and such other duties as may be assigned to you by me in my position as
the Company's  Chief Executive  Officer.  You will report to the Chief Executive
Officer.  You will be elected to the  Company's  Board of Directors at the first
meeting  of the  Board  following  the date  you  commence  employment  with the
Company.  You agree to exercise the highest degree of  professionalism,  utilize
your  expertise  and creative  talents,  and devote all of your business time in
performing  your duties,  both as the Company's  President  and Chief  Operating
Officer and as a member of the Board.  You will be considered for a promotion to
become the Company's Chief  Executive  Officer if you and I mutually agree after
you have worked at the Company for at least 6 months. Of course,  the Board will
need to  evaluate  your job  performance  and  approve  any  promotion  to Chief
Executive Officer before it can become  effective.  The Company will provide you
with necessary  staff support to permit you to discharge  your  responsibilities
effectively.

         2. Base Salary and Bonus.  Your base  salary will be thirteen  thousand
dollars ($13,000) per month, less payroll deductions and withholdings.  You will
also  receive a sign-on  bonus in the  amount of one  hundred  thousand  dollars
($100,000),  less payroll deductions and withholdings,  which will be payable in
quarterly  installments  beginning  on your  start  date and each  three  months
thereafter provided that you are employed by the Company on the relevant payment
date.

         You will also be eligible to earn a cash bonus as determined  under the
terms of the "Wonderware  January-December 1995 Incentive  Compensation Program"
(the "1995  Incentive Bonus Plan") and any cash incentive  compensation  program
that  succeeds the 1995  Incentive  Bonus Plan.  Your  semi-annual  "Quota Bonus
amount"  will be $26,000 and your  semi-annual  "Profit  Bonus  amount"  will be
$26,000.  Both terms are defined in the 1995 Incentive Bonus Plan.  These "Quota
Bonus" and "Profit  Bonus"  amounts will also be  applicable  for the first five
months of 1996. Therefore,  if the Company's performance entitles you to 100% of
your Quota Bonus and Profit  Bonus for your first twelve  months of  employment,
you would  receive  total cash  compensation  (base  salary  plus cash bonus) of
$260,000 for that period.

         Your base salary and various  target  bonus  amounts will be subject to
review and  adjustment  after you have been employed by the Company for at least
twelve months in accordance  with the  established  procedures  set forth by the
Company's Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.  If at that time you
are serving as the Company's Chief Executive  Officer,  your base salary will be
increased  to  eighteen  thousand  dollars  ($18,000)  per month,  less  payroll
deductions  and  withholdings,  your  semi-annual  "Quota Bonus  amount" will be
increased  to  $36,000  and  your  semi-annual  "Profit  Bonus  amount"  will be
increased to $36,000.  Therefore,  if these increases occur and if the Company's
performance  entitles  you to 100% of your Quota Bonus and Profit Bonus for your
first twelve  months of employment  following  these  increases,  then you would
receive  total cash  compensation  (base salary plus cash bonus) of $360,000 for
this period.

         3. Compensatory Stock Awards. Upon the commencement of your employment,
the Board of  Directors  agrees to grant to you a stock  option to  acquire  two
hundred  thousand  (200,000)  shares of the  Company's  common  stock  under the
Company's  1989 Stock  Option  Plan (the  "Option  Plan").  In the event you are
promoted  to  serve  as the  Company's  Chief  Executive  Officer  and you  have
completed at least twelve  months of employment  with the Company,  the Board of
Directors also agrees to grant to you, as soon as practicable  following January
1, 1996, an additional  stock option to acquire one hundred  thousand  (100,000)
shares of the Company's  common stock under the Option Plan.  The exercise price
per share of these options shall be equal to one hundred  percent  (100%) of the
fair market value of the Company's  common stock as determined under the Plan on
the date of grant and in any case not to exceed  $30.00 per share.  Each  option
shall  vest as to 24% of the  shares  subject to such  option  following  twelve
continuous months of service with the Company beginning on the date of grant (or
in the case of your initial option, the day you start work with the Company) and
as to an additional 2% for each subsequent month of completed  service.  Both of
these options shall have substantially the same terms and conditions as provided
in the standard forms of option  agreement for options  granted under the Option
Plan, except as expressly provided in this agreement.

         4. Relocation  Assistance.  The Company agrees to purchase your current
principal  residence  in  Atlanta,  Georgia  for a price  equal  to its  current
appraised  fair  market  value (as  determined  by a  knowledgeable  real estate
professional  selected by the Company who is agreeable to you). The Company will
also provide you with a two hundred thousand dollar ($200,000)  interest-bearing
mortgage  loan to reflect  the higher cost of housing in  California  as well as
compensation  for the loss of incentive  compensation  you would have  otherwise
received  from  your  previous  employer.  The  loan is  conditioned  on  future
performance  of  substantial  service  provided  by you and  must be used  for a
mortgage on your new principal residence.  In the event that you are promoted to
serve as the Company's  Chief  Executive  Officer,  the Company will forgive the
interest-bearing mortgage relocation loan plus accrued interest and will pay you
an additional two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000),  less applicable taxes to
cover any taxes as a result of this forgiveness. The Company will also reimburse
you for your actual costs  directly  related to the relocation of your family to
California,  including  such costs as moving  expenses,  travel and  lodging for
house hunting trips, temporary housing, and closing costs, but in no event shall
the total  amount of the  Company's  reimbursement  for such  costs  exceed  one
hundred thousand dollars ($100,000).

         5. Supplemental Compensation Guarantee. We understand that by accepting
our  invitation,  you will be giving up the  potential  receipt of a substantial
amount  of  future  compensation  under  the  terms of your  current  employer's
Supplemental  Executive  Retirement Plan ("SERP").  In order to provide you with
compensation  for that  sacrifice,  the Company  will  guarantee  to pay you any
amount  by which  the  maximum  built-in  gain at any time of the  shares of the
Company's  common  stock  which have  vested at that time under the terms of the
stock options  granted to you by the Company,  whether now or in the future (the
"Maximum Realizable Gain"), fails to equal or exceed $1,250,000. The time period
within which the Maximum  Realizable Gain shall be calculated shall begin on the
date you commence  employment  with the Company and end on the date on which all
shares  subject to these  options  either  have  vested or been  returned to the
Company.  Any  payment  shall be due  within 30 days after the date on which all
shares  subject to these  options  have  vested or, in the event that you are no
longer  employed  by the  Company,  within  30 days  after the date on which all
shares  subject to these  options would have vested had you continued to provide
services to the Company.

         However,  in the event your  employment  with the Company is terminated
for  "Cause,"  then the Company  will have no  obligation  to pay you any amount
under the terms of this section 5. For purposes of this section 5, "Cause" shall
mean either (i)  conviction  of a crime,  or entry of a plea of nolo  contendere
with regard to a crime,  involving  moral  turpitude or  dishonesty,  or (ii) an
intentional,  material  violation  by you of any  contract  between  you and the
Company  or any  statutory  duty  which  you  have to the  Company  which is not
corrected within 30 days after notice is provided to you of such a violation. In
addition,  if you  voluntarily  decide to  terminate  your  employment  with the
Company for any reason,  then the Company  will adjust the amount which would be
paid to you as  calculated  under the  previous  paragraph  by a  fraction,  the
numerator of which is the number of shares  subject to your  options  which have
vested and the  denominator  of which is the total  number of shares  subject to
your option.

         6. Benefits. The Company also will provide you with benefits consistent
with the Company's  established policies and practice for its senior executives.
Details about these benefits are provided in the summary plan  descriptions  and
other communications materials available for your review. Of course, the Company
reserves  the right to modify any or all of these  benefits in the future in its
discretion.

         7.  At-Will  Employment.  In order to  protect  our  mutual  employment
rights, either you or the Company may terminate your employment  relationship at
any time for any reason  whatsoever,  with or without  cause or advance  notice.
This  at-will  employment  relationship  cannot be  changed  except in a writing
signed by you and a duly authorized  officer of the Company.  You agree that for
one year following the termination of your employment with the Company, you will
not,  either  directly  or through  others,  solicit  or attempt to solicit  any
employee,  consultant or independent  contractor of the Company to terminate his
or her relationship with the Company in order to become an employee,  consultant
or independent contractor to or for any other person or business entity.

         This  Agreement,   including  the  attachments,  and  your  Proprietary
Information  and  Inventions  Agreement,  constitutes  the  complete,  final and
exclusive  embodiment of the entire  agreement  between you and the Company with
respect  to the terms and  conditions  of your  employment.  This  Agreement  is
entered into without  reliance  upon any  promise,  warranty or  representation,
written or oral, other than those expressly  contained herein, and it supersedes
any other such promises,  warranties,  representations or agreements. It may not
be amended or modified except by a written  instrument  signed by you and a duly
authorized  officer  of the  Company.  If any  provision  of this  Agreement  is
determined  to  be  invalid  or  unenforceable,   in  whole  or  in  part,  this
determination  will not  affect  any other  provision  of this  Agreement.  This
Agreement  shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the
State of California.

         As required by law, this offer of employment is subject to satisfactory
proof of your right to work in the United States.

         To indicate  your  acceptance  of our offer  under the terms  described
above,  please sign below and return  this  letter and your  signed  Proprietary
Information  and  Inventions  Agreement to me. I look forward to your  favorable
reply,  and to starting a working  relationship  which I hope will be successful
both for Wonderware and for you.

                                Very truly yours,

                                 WONDERWARE CORPORATION
