Exhibit 10.26








PURPOSE


Activant Solutions’ Incentive Bonus Plan (“the Plan”) provides incentives to participants to assist
the company in achieving its financial goals.



PLAN
PERIOD

The Plan Period is consistent with the company’s fiscal year (October 1 — September 30). Each
Plan Period stands alone.




ELIGIBILITY


The Target Incentive Compensation opportunities (“TICs”) and jobs / job levels covered by the Plan
are reviewed and approved by the Chief Executive Officer. Employees in approved jobs / levels are
eligible to participate in the Plan. To become an active
participant in the Plan (“Plan
Participant”), candidates must be regular, full-time employees without concurrent participation in
another Company incentive plan, be recommended by their management for participation, and be
approved by the Senior Vice President of Human Resources. Participation, or changes in
participation such as a change in TIC, will take effect with the start of the fiscal quarter
immediately following the associated status change.








Example
1 — Date Participation Begins


Employee receives a promotion effective February 1 and because of the promotion is now in an
eligible job and job level to participate in the Plan. If approved, the earliest date the employee would become a
Plan Participant is April 1 — the beginning of fiscal Q3.







Any participant who has a change in their plan target (including a reduction or removal from the
Plan) with an effective date after the beginning of a quarter will have that change impact their
IB calculation at the beginning of the next quarter.








Example
2 — Date TIC Change is Effective


Plan Participant has a TIC increase of $2,000 with an effective date of November 1. Plan
calculations will not be affected by the change until the quarter that begins January 1.

QUARTERLY
ACHIEVEMENT AWARDS

For fiscal quarters 1 — 3, a Quarterly Achievement Award payment may be made, at the Company’s
discretion, when minimum performance thresholds for EBITDA and revenue growth have been met for
either the Company (“Corporate Component”) or the Business Unit (“Business Unit Component”). After
considering both quarterly and year-to-date performance, the Corporate and Business Unit Components
are calculated and combined in proportions specific to the participant’s Business Unit, fiscal
quarter, and Plan Period (specified in Appendix 3); each component is proportionally capped to a
combined maximum quarterly payment of 25% of the participant’s Target Annual Award.



FINAL PLAN PAYMENT (includes Q4 quarterly & annual overachievement,
if applicable) 
After the end of the Plan Period, audited annual financial results are used
to determine a participant’s Target Annual Award, including any “Overachievement,” given the
Company’s and the Business Unit’s actual performance for the fiscal year. This Target Annual
Award is then compared to the cumulative total of Quarterly Achievement Awards made over the Plan
Period and if the total of actual year-to-date Quarterly Achievement Award payments is:





less than the Target Annual Award, Plan Participants will receive the difference
as a Final Plan Payment.




more than the Target Annual Award, no further payments are made and the Plan is
considered closed for the Plan Period.


At its discretion, the Company may choose to split the Final Plan Payment into a Q4 Quarterly
Achievement Award Payment and an Overachievement Plan Payment. The Overachievement Plan Payment
will be computed as discussed above, however, the additional quarterly payment will be factored
into the actual year-to-date IB payment total for determining the overachievement payment. Note:
Participants removed from the Plan as of Q4 or earlier are ineligible to receive a Final Plan
Payment.








Example
3 — Final Plan Payment Calculation, Less Than Full Year Participation



If Participation began Q2, the Target Annual Award is pro-rated to determine the Final Plan
Payment.:















IMPORTANT NOTES: EXCEPTIONS TO ANY PLAN PROVISION IN THIS DOCUMENT REQUIRE SPECIFIC APPROVAL BY
THE SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES. There is no vested entitlement to any bonus and no allowance
will be made for factors beyond the control of Plan Participants that either adversely or
favorably affect the Plan’s performance. Bonus payments are made at the sole discretion of the
Chief Executive Officer (subject to authorization by the Board of Directors or the Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors). Plan participants are advised not to assume they will
receive any payments under the Plan in advance of any such payment; target awards represent
“pay-at-risk” and as such should not be prospectively relied on to meet financial commitments.
Incentive bonus plans and payment terms, including individual participation and eligibility for
payment, may be changed at any time, retroactively or prospectively, with or without prior
notice, at the discretion of the Chief Executive Officer and all Company incentive plans require
review & approval by the Chief Executive Officer. No statement, expressed or implied, or any
other feature of the Plan affects the employment-at-will status of Plan Participants.
