 Mr. Garland Hall 
 [                        ] 
 [                        ] 
 Dear Garland: 
 I am pleased to offer you the position of Senior Vice President, Global Support of Deltek, Inc. (the
“Company”). I am very excited about the Company’s future and equally excited at the prospect of your joining our team. The following are the terms and conditions of your offer. 
 Start Date: Your start date with the Company will be on or before Thursday, October 2, 2008. 
 Reporting Responsibilities: As Senior Vice President, Global Support, you will report to me, although, as with all of the Company’s officers,
you may also be called on from time to time to give reports to the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) directly. 
 Base
Salary and Annual Bonus: Your annual base salary will be $225,000, payable in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll policy, and will be reviewed periodically. You will have an annual bonus target of $115,000. Bonuses will be
paid quarterly, based on (i) your individual performance against agreed targets and (ii) Company performance. Your actual bonuses may be more than or less than your annual bonus target, and you must be a Deltek employee at the time of
disbursement. All payments to you by the Company will be subject to any required withholding of taxes. 
 Other Benefits: You will be provided
with the Company’s standard benefits package, which currently includes medical coverage, 401(k) plan participation and three weeks of paid time off. You will be reimbursed pursuant to the Company’s expense reimbursement policy for the
covered business expenses that you incur in connection with your service to the Company. 
 Insurance & Indemnification: From and
after your start date and for so long as the Company maintains any directors and officers liability insurance policy, you will be provided in respect of your service to the Company with the same coverage under such policy as is provided to other
officers of the Company in respect of their service to the Company. In addition, from and after your start date, the Company will indemnify you to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law and/or the Company’s certificate of
incorporation or bylaws to the extent that such indemnification is provided officers of the Company. Such coverage and indemnification will be provided without regard to your termination of employment. 
 Stock Options: On or as soon as practicable after your start date and upon approval of the Board or Compensation Committee of the Board, the Company will
grant you an option to purchase 100,000 









 

 
  

 
shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”), with a per share exercise price equal to the fair
market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant (as determined under the Company’s 2007 Stock Incentive and Award Plan). These options will vest in 25% increments annually over four years from your start date, will be granted
pursuant to the Company’s 2007 Stock Option Plan and will be evidenced by a Stock Option Agreement in the form customarily used by the Company for its executive officers, a copy of which is attached. 
 At-Will Employment; Severance: You will have no set term of employment, and your employment will be “at will.” 
 If your employment is terminated other than on the date of or within 18 months following a Change in Control either by the Company without Cause or by you for Good
Reason, then the Company shall continue to pay you your then current base salary as of the date of termination for six months thereafter. In addition, upon any termination that entitles you to the foregoing severance benefits, the Company will also
continue your coverage (including any dependent coverage in place as of your termination date) under the Company’s medical benefit plan for 12 months at your cost at the active-employee premium rate. 
 If your employment is terminated on the date of or within 18 months following a Change in Control either by the Company or its successors without Cause or by you for
Good Reason, then the Company shall: (1) continue to pay you your then current base salary as of the termination date for 18 months thereafter, (2) pay you 150% of your then current target annual bonus (based on your target annual bonus in
effect in the period in which you are terminated), and (3) continue your medical coverage under the Company’s medical benefit plan for 18 months at the active-employee premium rate. 
 The continuation of base salary will be paid in substantially equal installments over the 18-month severance period in accordance with the Company’s standard
payroll practices with respect to active employees, but not less frequently than monthly. The payment of your bonus will be made in a lump sum at such time as bonuses are generally paid to employees during the period in which you are terminated.
Notwithstanding the preceding two sentences, if Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), would cause the imposition of an excise tax on the salary continuation severance payment or bonus award
severance payment if paid as described above, then payment of the salary continuation severance payment and bonus award severance payment shall be ordered so as to avoid the imposition of the excise tax, as follows: (i) as much of the bonus
award severance payment as may be paid without the imposition of the excise tax shall be paid as described above, and any remaining portion of the bonus award severance payment shall be paid upon the day following the six-month anniversary of the
termination date; and (ii) if any installments of the salary continuation payment may be paid (in whole or in part) as described above without the imposition of the excise tax, then such installments shall be paid as described above, and the
remaining installments shall commence upon the day following the six-month anniversary of the termination date, and the first installment paid on the day following the six-month anniversary of the termination date shall include all portions of the
salary continuation severance payment that would have been paid but for the application of Section 409A to the salary continuation severance payment. The Company’s obligations to make any payments and (if applicable) continue the medical
coverage as set forth above are conditioned upon: (x) your execution and delivery of, and your continued compliance with 









 

 
  

 
your obligations under, the Employee Confidential and Proprietary Information, Assignment of Inventions and Non-Competition Agreement, the form of which is
attached as Annex B, and (y) your execution, delivery and non-revocation of a valid and enforceable general release of claims substantially in the form attached as Annex C. 
 For purposes of this letter, “Cause” and “Good Reason” will have the meanings set forth on Annex A. 
 Effect of Section 280G: Notwithstanding any provision in this letter or any other plan, program or arrangement of the Company to the contrary, payments to be made to you in the event of a change in ownership or effective
control of the Company or a substantial portion of its assets (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code) (each, a “Triggering Event”) shall be reduced, but only if and to the extent that a reduction in the payments to you
would result in your retaining a larger amount, on an after-tax basis (taking into account federal, state and local income taxes and the excise tax payable under Section 4999 of the Code) than if you received the entire amount of such payments
without reduction. If the payments are to be reduced as described above, then, unless you give prior written notice to the Company specifying a different order by which to effectuate the foregoing, the Company shall reduce or eliminate such payments
(i) by first reducing or eliminating the portion of such payments which is not payable in cash (other than that portion of such payments subject to clause (iii) below), (ii) then by reducing or eliminating cash payments (other than
that portion of such payments subject to clause (iii) below) and (iii) then by reducing or eliminating the portion of such payments (whether payable in cash or not payable in cash) to which Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1 Q/A
24(c) (or any successor thereto) applies, in each case in reverse order beginning with payments or benefits which are to be paid the farthest in time from the date of the Triggering Event. Any notice given by you pursuant to the preceding sentence
shall take precedence over the provisions of any other plan, arrangement or agreement governing your rights and entitlements to any benefits or compensation. 
 Employee Covenants: As a condition of your employment, not later than your start date, you shall execute and deliver the Company’s form of Employee Confidential and Proprietary Information, Assignment of Inventions and
Non-Competition Agreement, which is attached as Annex B. 








 

 
  

 If the foregoing terms and conditions are consistent with your understanding, please sign this letter
below and return a copy to me. Garland, I am confident that you will be a valuable addition to our team, and I look forward to working with you. 
  

			
		 	Very truly yours,

developments, improvements, and trade secrets which were made by Employee prior to Employee’s employment with the Company, which belong to Employee, which relate to the Company’s proposed business and products, and which are not assigned
to the Company; or, if no such list is attached, Employee represents that there are no such inventions or original works of authorship. 
 2.2 Inventions and Original Works Assigned to the Company. Employee agrees that Employee will promptly make full written disclosure to the Company, will hold in trust for the sole right and benefit of the Company, and will assign to
the Company all his or her right, title, and interest in and to any and all inventions, original works of authorship, developments, improvements or trade secrets which Employee has solely or jointly conceived or developed or reduced to practice, or
caused to be conceived or developed or reduced to practice, during the period of time Employee has been in the employ of the Company or which Employee may solely or jointly conceive or develop or reduce to practice, during the period of time
Employee shall be in the employ of the Company. 
 Employee acknowledges that all original works of authorship which have been and will be
made by Employee (solely or jointly with others) within the scope of employee’s employment and which are protectable by copyright are “works made for hire,” as that term is defined in the United States Copyright Act (17 USCA
Section 101). 
 2.3 Maintenance of Records. Employee agrees to keep and maintain adequate and current written records of all
inventions and original works of authorship made by Employee (solely or jointly with others) during the term of his or her employment with the Company. The records will be in the form of notes, sketches, drawings, and any other format that may be
specified by the Company. The records will be made available to and shall remain the sole property of the Company at all times. 
 2.4
Obtaining Letters Patent and Copyright Registrations. Employee agrees that Employee’s obligation to assist the Company to obtain United States or foreign letters patent and copyright registrations covering inventions and original works
of authorship assigned under this Agreement to the Company shall continue beyond the termination of employment, but the Company shall compensate Employee at a reasonable rate for time actually spent by Employee at the Company’s request on such
assistance. If the Company is unable because of Employee’s mental or physical incapacity or for any other reason to secure Employee’s signature to apply for or to pursue any application for any United States or foreign letters patent or
copyright registrations covering inventions or original works of authorship assigned to the Company as described above, then Employee hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as
Employee’s agent and attorney in fact, to act for and in Employee’s behalf and stead, to execute and further the prosecution and issuance of letters patent or copyright registrations with the same legal force and effect as if executed by
Employee. Employee hereby waives and quitclaims to the Company any and all claims, of any nature whatsoever, which Employee now or hereafter may have for infringement of any patents or copyright resulting from any such application for letters patent
or copyright registration assigned under this Agreement to the Company. 








 

 
  

 Section 3. Remedies. The Employee agrees that any material breach of the terms of this
Agreement would result in irreparable injury and damage to the Company for which the Company would have no adequate remedy at law. The Employee therefore also agrees that in the event of said breach or any threat of breach, the Company shall be
entitled to an immediate injunction and restraining order to prevent such breach and/or threatened breach and/or continued breach by the Employee and/or any and all Persons acting for and/or with the Employee, without having to prove damages, in
addition to any other remedies to which the Company may be entitled at law or in equity. The terms of this Section 3 shall not prevent the Company from pursuing any other available remedies for any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement,
including, without limitation, the recovery of damages from the Employee. The Employee and the Company further agree that the provisions of the covenants contained in this Agreement are reasonable and necessary to protect the businesses of the
Company and its affiliates because of the Employee’s access to Confidential Information and his or her material participation in the operation of such businesses. 
 Section 4. Miscellaneous. 
 4.1. Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement and any of its
provisions may be amended, waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), modified or supplemented, in whole or in part, only by a written agreement signed by the parties to this Agreement; provided,
that the observance of any provision of this Agreement may be waived in writing by the party that will lose the benefit of such provision as a result of such waiver. The waiver by any party to this Agreement of a breach of any provision of this
Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach, except as otherwise explicitly provided in such waiver. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this
Agreement, no failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy under this Agreement, or otherwise available in respect of this Agreement at law or in equity, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor
shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. 
 4.2. Assignment; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement, and the Employee’s rights and obligations under it, may not be assigned by the
Employee, and any purported assignment by the Employee in violation of this Agreement shall be null and void. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon any Person not a party to this Agreement, or the legal representatives of such Person, any
rights or remedies of any nature or kind whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 4.3. Notices. Unless otherwise provided
in this Agreement, all notices, requests, demands, claims and other communications provided for under the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing. Any notice, request, demand, claim or other communication under this Agreement shall be sent by
(i) personal delivery (including receipted courier service) or overnight delivery service, (ii) facsimile , with confirmation of receipt, to any facsimile number the Employee provides to the Company for purposes of receipt of notice,
(iii) commercial overnight delivery service courier or (iv) registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid and addressed to the intended recipient as set forth below: 
  

	 	(a)	If to the Employee, to the most recent home address that the Company maintains in its records for the Employee; and

 All such notices, requests, consents and other communications shall be deemed to have been given when received. Any
party may change its facsimile number or its address to which notices, requests, demands, claims and other communications under this Agreement are to be delivered by giving the other parties notice in the manner then set forth. 
 4.4. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights and obligations of the parties to this
Agreement shall be governed by, the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without giving effect to its conflicts of laws principles. 
 4.5.
Severability. Whenever possible, each provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision or
portion of any provision of this Agreement in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in that jurisdiction or the validity or enforceability of this Agreement, including that provision or
portion of any provision, in any other jurisdiction. In addition, if a court or arbitrator determines that any provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement is not reasonable or valid, either in period of time, geographical area, or
otherwise, the parties to this Agreement agree that such provision should be interpreted and enforced to the maximum extent which such court or arbitrator deems reasonable or valid. 
 4.6. Entire Agreement. This Agreement shall constitute the entire agreement between the parties, and supersedes all prior representations,
agreements and understandings (including any prior course of dealings), both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. The terms of this Agreement shall prevail and govern in the event of any
conflict in terms between this Agreement and any Company agreement or Company policy applicable to the Employee. 
 4.7. Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. 
 4.8. No Right to Continued Employment. This Agreement shall not confer upon the Employee any right with respect to continuance of employment by
the Company or any Affiliated Entity, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Affiliated Entity to terminate the Employee’s employment at any time. Specifically, nothing in this Agreement changes Employee’s
status as an express “at-will” employee. Employee agrees that unless specifically provided in another writing signed by the Employee and the President of the Company, Employee’s employment by the Company is not for a definite period
of time. Rather, Employee’s employment relationship with the Company is one of employment “at will” and may be terminated by either Employee or the Company at any time, with or without cause or prior notice. In addition, the Company
has the right to change Employee’s compensation, duties, assignments, responsibilities, location of position and any other terms and conditions of his or her employment at any time, with or without cause or notice. 
 4.9 Change in Residence. Employee understands and agrees that upon a change of Employee’s state of legal residence, Employee shall, if so
requested by the Company, promptly execute and deliver the Company’s standard Confidential and Proprietary Information, Assignment of Inventions and Non-Competition Agreement applicable to such state. 








 

 
  

 4.10. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding on, the
successors and assigns of each of the parties, including, without limitation, the Employee’s heirs and the personal representatives of the Employee’s estate and any successor to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the
Company. 
 4.11. General Interpretive Principles. The headings of the sections, paragraphs, subparagraphs, clauses and subclauses of
this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Words of inclusion shall not be construed as terms of limitation, so that references to
“include,” “includes” and “including” shall not be limiting and shall be regarded as references to non-exclusive and non-characterizing illustrations. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement has been signed by or on behalf of each of the parties to this Agreement, all as of the date first above written.
