**Exhibit 10.13a****AGREEMENT**     This is an Agreement among UGS Capital Corp., (“Capital Corp.”), UGS Capital Corp. II(“Capital Corp II”), UGS Corp., (“UGS Corp.”), all Delaware corporations, (collectively andindividually, the “Company”), and the undersigned (the “Employee”), entered into in connection withcertain awards previously made to the Employee under the UGS Capital Corp. and UGS Capital Corp. II2004 Management Incentive Plan (the “Management Incentive Plan”).     WHEREAS:     A. As of May 27, 2004, the Employee received awards (the “Awards”) from Capital Corp. andCapital Corp. II under the terms of the UGS Capital Corp. Non-Qualified Roll-Over Option andConditional Deferred Cash Award Agreement and the UGS Capital Corp. II Non-Qualified Roll-OverOption and Conditional Deferred Cash Award Agreement (the “Award Agreements”);     B. The Awards granted options (the “Options”) to the Employee to purchase stock of CapitalCorp. and Capital Corp. II and, in connection with the Options, granted to the Employee the rightto receive from UGS Corp conditional deferred cash awards (the “Deferred Cash Awards”), but onlyif, when, and to the extent, that the Options were exercised;     C. In October, 2004, Congress enacted into law Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code(“409A”), placing restrictions on the payment of deferred compensation and imposing severepenalties on recipients of nonqualifying deferred compensation;     D. Under the initial guidance on 409A issued by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRSGuidance”), a stock option coupled with a cash bonus that is payable only upon exercise of theoption would be treated as nonqualifying deferred compensation;     E. By statute, 409A applies to pre-existing deferred compensation arrangements to the extentthat rights under such arrangements were not scheduled to vest before the end of 2004;     F. The Awards were not scheduled to vest fully before the end of 2004 and are thereforesubject, at least in part, to 409A;     G. Under the IRS Guidance, nonqualifying deferred compensation awards may be terminated oramended to comply with 409A during calendar-year 2005, provided that the arrangement is operated ingood faith prior to such termination or amendment; and     H. The parties wish to terminate that part of the Awards that might cause the Awards to betreated as nonqualifying deferred compensation arrangements and
 

 
substitute therefor arrangements that will qualify under 409A or fall outside the bounds of 409A.     THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:     1. Each Award Agreement is amended to delete Section 10, entitled “Conditional Deferred CashAward,” and all other references in the Award Agreements to “conditional deferred cash award” or“deferred cash award” shall be of no effect. As a result of this amendment, exercise of an Optionwill not cause the payment of any cash award to the Employee. All other terms and conditions ofthe Award Agreements remain in full force and effect.     2. On July 29, 2005, UGS Corp. will pay to the Employee a cash bonus in the amount shown onthe attached schedule (less applicable tax withholding) (“2005 Cash Bonus Amount”). This amountequals the “conditional deferred cash award” that the Employee would have been eligible to receiveupon exercise of vested options prior to the date of this Agreement.     3. UGS Corp. will pay to the Employee on the Company’s next regularly-scheduled payroll datefollowing the Payment Event (as defined below) an additional cash bonus in the amount shown on theattached schedule (“Additional Cash Bonus”), less applicable tax withholding. This amountrepresents the remainder of the “conditional deferred cash award”. A Payment Event shall be theearliest of: (a) May 27, 2006, if the Employee’s Employment (as defined in the Management IncentivePlan) has not been terminated previously; (b) the effective date of termination of Employee’sEmployment by the Company other than for Cause (as defined in the Award Agreement); and (c) theeffective date of a Change in Control (as defined below). For purposes of this Agreement “Changein Control” means an event that is both a “Change in Control” as defined for purposes of theManagement Incentive Plan and a “Change in Control Event” as defined for purposes of 409A.     4. To the extent the Employee is not entitled to receive his bonus (a) prior to the cessationof Employment or (b) upon cessation of Employment as set forth in Paragraph 3 above, then uponcessation of Employment, Employee’s right to receive any remaining cash bonus will be forfeited.     5. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless contrary to applicable law or the terms of a writtenagreement signed by an officer of UGS, your employment with UGS is for an indefinite term and isterminable, with or without cause, at any time by either you or the Company. Nothing in thisAgreement, will be construed to oblige UGS to continue your employment for any particular time orunder any particular terms or conditions of employment.
