      payment of any vested Shares to the Grantee.

<PAGE>

7.    RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER. Neither the Grantee nor any person claiming under
      or through the Grantee will have any of the rights or privileges of a
      stockholder of the Company in respect of any Shares deliverable hereunder
      unless and until certificates representing such Shares will have been
      issued, recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer agents or
      registrars, and delivered to the Grantee.

8.    RELATION TO THE COMPANY. Grantee is presently an officer, director, or
      other employee of, or Consultant to the Company and in such capacity has
      become personally familiar with the business, affairs, financial
      condition, and results of the operations of the Company.

9.    ADJUSTMENT UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION, DISSOLUTION, MERGER OR ASSET
      SALE.

      (a)   Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the
            stockholders of the Company, the number and class of Shares that may
            be delivered under this Award, shall be proportionately adjusted for
            any increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares resulting
            from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination
            or reclassification of the Shares, or any other increase or decrease
            in the number of issued Shares effected without receipt of
            consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of
            any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to
            have been "effected without receipt of consideration." Such
            adjustment shall be made by the Board, whose determination in that
            respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly
            provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of
            any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any
            class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be
            made with respect to, the number or price of Shares subject to this
            Award.

      (b)   Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution
            or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator shall notify
            Grantee as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such
            proposed transaction. To the extent it has not been previously
            vested, this Award will terminate immediately prior to the
            consummation of such proposed action.

      (c)   Merger or Asset Sale. In the event of a merger of the Company with
            or into another corporation, or the sale of substantially all of the
            assets of the Company, shares subject to this Award that remain
            outstanding at such time shall be assumed or an equivalent right
            substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary
            of the successor corporation. In the event that the successor
            corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the Award, the
            Grantee will fully vest in and have the right to such shares even if
            such shares would not otherwise be vested and all vesting criteria
            will be deemed achieved at target levels and all other terms and
            conditions met.

<PAGE>

10.   TAX ADVICE. The Company has made no warranties or representations to
      Grantee with respect to the income tax consequences of the transactions
      contemplated by the agreement pursuant to which the Stock Purchase Rights
      have been issued and Shares will be purchased and Grantee is in no manner
      relying on the Company or its representatives for an assessment of such
      tax consequences. The Grantee acknowledges that the Grantee has not relied
      and will not rely upon the Company or the Company's counsel with respect
      to any tax consequences related to the Stock Purchase Rights or the
      ownership, purchase, or disposition of the Shares. The Grantee assumes
      full responsibility for all such consequences and for the preparation and
      filing of all tax returns and elections which may or must be filed in
      connection with the Stock Purchase Rights and the Shares.

11.   WITHHOLDING OF TAXES.

      (a)   Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no
            certificate representing Shares may be released from the Company
            unless and until the Grantee shall have delivered to the Company the
            full amount of any federal, state or local income or other taxes
            which the Company may be required by law to withhold with respect to
            such Shares. At the election of the Company, any federal, state and
            local withholding taxes with respect to the Stock Purchase Rights
            and/or the Shares may be paid by reducing the number of vested
            Shares actually paid to the Grantee.

      (b)   At the Grantee's election, the Company may deduct from any payment
            of distribution of Restricted Stock the amount of any tax required
            by law to be withheld with respect to the purchase of the shares of
            Restricted Stock or the lapse of the Purchase Option. GRANTEE MUST
            INFORM THE COMPANY OF HIS OR HER PREFERENCE FOR PAYMENT OF THEIR
            WITHHOLDING TAX OBLIGATIONS WITHIN 30 DAYS OF RECEIPT OF THE
            DOCUMENTATION. AN ELECTION FORM IS ATTACHED HERETO AS EXHIBIT A.

12.   ASSIGNMENT; BINDING EFFECT. Subject to the limitations set forth in this
      Agreement, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
      of the executors, administrators, heirs, legal representatives, and
      successors of the parties hereto; provided, however, that Grantee may not
      assign any of Grantee's rights under this Agreement.

13.   DAMAGES. Grantee shall be liable to the Company for all costs and damages,
      including incidental and consequential damages, resulting from a
      disposition of the Stock Purchase Rights which is not in conformity with
      the provisions of this Agreement.

14.   GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in

      those laws that direct the application of the laws of another
      jurisdiction.

      Agreement shall be finally settled by arbitration conducted in Essex
      County in accordance with the then existing rules of the American
      Arbitration Association, and judgment upon the award rendered by the
      arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof;
      provided that nothing in this Section 14 shall prevent a party from

      pending resolution of the dispute through arbitration. The parties hereby
      agree that service of any notices in the course of such arbitration at

      other person shall have any claim or right to be issued stock or granted
      an option under this agreement. Having received a Stock Purchase Right
      shall not give the Grantee any right to receive any other grant or options
      under any Company Plan. This Stock Purchase Right is not an employment
      contract and nothing in this Stock Purchase Right shall be deemed to
      create in any way whatsoever any obligation on your part to continue in

      the Company.

18.   ENTIRE AGREEMENT. Company and Grantee agree that this Agreement (including

      qualification of the Shares upon any securities exchange or under any

      regulatory authority is necessary or desirable as a condition to the
      issuance of Shares to the Grantee, such issuance will not occur unless and
      until such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval will
      have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to
      the Company. The Company will make all reasonable efforts to meet the
      requirements of any such state or federal law or securities exchange and

RE:         Payment of Withholding Taxes Applicable to Restricted Stock Awards
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As you know, Nuance Communications, Inc. ("Company") granted you an award of
Company restricted stock (the "Award"). In connection with the Award, you will
have taxable income at the time the Award vests.

Under applicable law, withholding taxes are due and payable at the time the
Award vests. Before Company delivers to you any shares under the Award, Company
must withhold applicable federal, state, and local taxes (the "Withholding
Tax"). The current federal supplemental wage withholding rate is twenty-five
percent (25%). In addition to the federal supplemental wage withholding rate,
withholding for state and local taxes may also be required, the rate of which
will vary depending on where you live.

In connection with your Award, you agreed to make appropriate arrangements
regarding the Withholding Tax applicable to your Award.

Company is offering you the opportunity to elect one of two methods to satisfy
your Withholding Tax. Select one of the two methods of payment described below:

___________ PAYMENT BY CHECK.  Our stock administration department will
            contact you via e-mail with the amount of the Withholding
            Tax due and payable.  Please make your check payable to
            Nuance Communications, Inc. and mail it to Nuance
            Communications, Inc., Attention:  Deborah E. Sheehan, One
            Wayside Road, Burlington, MA 01803.  You are required to
            satisfy your Withholding Tax obligations by tendering to
            Company the amount of the Withholding Tax due and payable
            the day after Company notifies you of the amount.

__________  RETENTION OF SHARES BY THE COMPANY. Company will retain the number
            of shares equal to the amount of minimum withholding due and
            payable. Fractional shares will not be retained to satisfy any
            portion of the withholding tax. Accordingly, you agree that in the
            event that the amount of withholding you owe would result in a
            fraction of a share being owed, that amount will be satisfied by
            withholding the fractional amount from your paycheck. If such amount
            is required to be withheld, you expressly acknowledge that by
            checking this box you are giving the Company permission to withhold
            from your paycheck an amount equal to the remaining withholding tax
            due and payable.

<PAGE>

Please elect the method of payment that you wish to satisfy your Withholding Tax
from the two choices above, sign and date the form, and return it to the Deborah
E. Sheehan at Nuance Communications, Inc.. You may either mail this election
form to: Nuance Communications, Inc., Attention: Deborah E. Sheehan, One Wayside
Road, Burlington, MA 01803 or fax it to 781-565-5553, attn: Deborah E.
Sheehan/Withholding Election.

By signing below, I understand (1) that Company will withhold an amount required
by applicable law to satisfy the minimum Withholding Tax applicable to my Award,
and (2) agree to have such Withholding Tax obligation satisfied by the method I
checked above.

Exhibit 10.1

January 8, 2007

Mr. Richard Hale

87 Winslow Road

Newton, MA 02468

Re: Severance Agreement and Release

Dear Dick:

          This letter (the “Agreement”) describes the agreed upon terms of your termination and
severance agreement with Unica Corporation (the “Company”).

     1. Employment Status: Your termination of employment with the Company will be
effective as of May 1, 2007 (the “Termination Date”). Until such time, you will continue to be
responsible for the duties and responsibilities generally associated with being the Company’s Vice
President, Consulting Services, and will perform such additional duties as reasonably requested by
the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, including such duties related to the transition of your
position. As of the Termination Date, the payment of your salary will cease, and any entitlement
you had or might have had under a Company-provided benefit plan, program or practice will
terminate, except as required by federal or state law, or as otherwise described herein. In
addition, all of your stock options and restricted share units which have not vested on or before
the Termination Date shall expire.

     2. General Benefits: On the Termination Date, you will be eligible for the
following:

	 	(a)	 	All regular wages earned and business expenses incurred through the Termination Date; and
	 
	 	(b)	 	A payment for unused, accrued vacation time as of the Termination Date.

All amounts set forth is this Section 2 are subject to any applicable federal, state and local
deductions, withholdings, payroll and other taxes.

 

 

3. Consideration:

	(a)	 	Release: Upon the cessation of your employment pursuant to Section 1 above, no
later than May 9, 2007 you will execute the Release of Claims attached hereto as Exhibit
A (the “Release”) and, conditioned on the execution and non-revocation by you of the
Release, you shall be entitled to the compensation and benefits set forth in sub-sections
3(b)-(f) below.
	 
	(b)	 	Severance Pay: In consideration of the promises made herein, the Company will
pay
your current semi-monthly base salary of $7708.34, less applicable taxes and
withholdings, for a period of eight (8) months following the Termination Date in
accordance with the Company’s current semi-monthly payroll practices. The total gross amount
of these payments is $120,000.
	 
	(c)	 	Bonus Payment: In consideration of the promises made
herein, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Company’s FY07 Executive Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), you will
be eligible to receive payment of that portion of your annual bonus payable following the
completion of the Company’s second fiscal quarter (which amount represents up to 20% of your
FY2007 bonus target amount). In accordance with the Plan, this bonus payment will be based on
your achievement of performance objectives for the first half of FY 2007 to be mutually agreed
to by you and the Company’s CEO. Performance against these objectives will be assessed by the
Company’s CEO following completion of the Company’s second fiscal quarter. If eligible to
receive such bonus payment, you will receive it in accordance with the Company’s payment
schedule under the Plan (regardless of whether the Plan states that participants are only
eligible to receive bonus payments if employed by the Company at the time such payments are
made).
	 
	(d)	 	Executive Transition Services: In order to assist you with the identification of
your next professional opportunity, the Company will provide you with up to $3,000 of outplacement
services through Transition Solutions, or reimburse you up to $3,000 of outplacement services
provided by a vendor to be mutually agreed upon, until December 31, 2007.
	 
	(e)	 	Personal Computer: Following the termination date, the
Company will provide you with continued use of your current computer, provided that you allow the Company to delete all
