                                    AGREEMENT

AGREEMENT made as of the second day of November, 2001, by and between Infinium
Software, Inc. (the "Company") and Robert A. Pemberton (the "Employee").

WHEREAS, the parties wish to resolve amicably the Employee's separation from the
Company and establish the terms of the Employee's severance arrangement;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and conditions set forth
herein, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company and the
Employee agree as follows:

         1.       Separation Date. The Employee's effective date of separation
of employment from the Company is November 2, 2001 (the "Separation Date").

         2.       Consideration.

                  2.1.     Monetary Consideration. In return for the execution
of the instant Agreement, the Company agrees to pay the Employee two hundred
thousand dollars ($200,000.00) less all applicable state and federal taxes as
severance pay. The severance pay will be paid to the Employee in accordance with
the Company's regular payroll practices over the year ending November 2, 2002,
provided that such payments shall not commence until eight (8) days after the
date of execution of this Agreement; and provided that the Employee has not
revoked acceptance of the Agreement during the seven (7) day revocation period.
The Employee has already received $16,667 of the $200,000 referred to in the
first sentence of this Section 2.1. Except as provided in the next sentence, the
Company agrees that, in the event of the Employee's death, all remaining
severance pay due under this Agreement will be paid to the Employee's estate in
a cash lump-sum payment. The Company will not have any right to set off or
reduce the severance pay, unless the parties are involved in litigation related
to a breach of this Agreement by the Employee and the Company has obtained
equitable or some other form of relief in the litigation.

                  2.2.     Medical Benefits. The Employee shall continue to be
eligible for medical benefits under the Company's health plan, subject to the
approval of the Company's health insurer and timely payment by the Employee of
applicable employee premium contributions, until February 12, 2006. The Company
shall continue to pay the share of the premium for such coverage that is paid by
the Company for active and similarly-situated employees who receive the same
type of coverage while the Employee is so covered. Effective as of February 12,
2006, or earlier to the extent that the Employee is not eligible for coverage
under the Company's health plan, the Employee may elect to continue receiving
group medical insurance pursuant to any then existing federal law, such as
"COBRA" law, 29 U.S.C. Section 1161 et seq. All COBRA or other premium costs for
such insurance shall be paid by the Employee on a monthly basis for as long as,
and to the extent that, the Employee remains eligible under federal law for
medical coverage continuation. In any event, the Employee should consult the
materials to be provided by the Company for details regarding coverage and cost.

                  2.3.     Other Benefits. All other employee benefits will
continue until November 2, 2002, to the extent the Employee is eligible for such
benefits under the benefit plans and according to applicable law.

                  2.4.     Other Insurance. The Company will continue until
November 2, 2002, to make premium payments under the Transamerica Occidental
Life $1,000,000 life insurance policy number 92316045 of which the Employee is
the insured and Pemberton Trust is the owner. The Company will immediately cease
making premium payments under the Phoenix Home Life Insurance Company Policy
#H0110120H of which the Employee is the insured and owner.

                  2.5.     Stock Options. The Employee's stock options will
terminate effective on the Separation Date. All unvested options under the stock
option grants will vest and the Employee will have 90 days to exercise such
options.

                  2.6.     Property and Equipment. The Company will immediately
         transfer to the Employee ownership of (a) the USS WASP framed material
         hanging on the stairs in the Company's headquarters office and (b) the
         following equipment:

                  2.7.     E-mail. The Company will continue until November 2,
         2002, to forward to the Employee's personal email address all email
         that comes into his email address at the Company.

         3.       Release. In consideration of the payment of the severance
benefits, which the Employee acknowledges he would not otherwise be entitled to
receive, the Employee hereby fully, forever, irrevocably and unconditionally
releases, remises and discharges the Company, and its officers, directors,
stockholders, corporate affiliates, subsidiaries and parent companies, agents
and employees, benefit plans and benefit plan administrators, from any and all

under this Agreement.

         4.       Confidentiality. The Employee acknowledges his obligation to
keep confidential all non-public information concerning the Company which he
acquired during the course of his employment with the Company.

                  4.1.     The Employee agrees that all information, whether or
not in writing, of a private, secret or confidential nature concerning the
Company's business, business relationships or financial affairs (collectively,
"Proprietary Information") is and shall be the exclusive property of the
Company. By way of illustration, but not limitation, Proprietary Information may
include discoveries, inventions, products, product improvements, product
enhancements, processes, methods, techniques, formulas, compositions, compounds,
negotiation strategies and positions, projects, developments, plans (including
business and marketing plans), research data, clinical data, financial data
(including sales costs, profits, pricing methods), personnel data, computer
programs (including software used pursuant to a license agreement), customer and
supplier lists, and contacts at or knowledge of customers or prospective
customers of the Company. The Employee will not disclose any Proprietary
Information to any person or entity other than employees of the Company or use
the same for any purposes (other than in the performance of his duties as an
employee of the Company) without written approval by an officer of the Company,
either during or after his employment with the Company, unless and until such
Proprietary Information has become public knowledge without fault by the
Employee.

                  4.2.     The Employee agrees that all files, documents,
letters, memoranda, reports, records, data, sketches, drawings, models,

                                      -2-
<PAGE>
shall come into his custody or possession, shall be and are the exclusive
property of the Company to be used by the Employee only in the performance of
his duties for the Company and shall not be copied or removed from the Company
premises except in the pursuit of the business of the Company. All such
materials or copies thereof and all tangible property of the Company in the
custody or possession of the Employee shall be delivered to the Company upon the
Employee's execution of this Agreement. After such delivery, the Employee shall
not retain any such materials or copies thereof or any such tangible property.
Provided, however, that to the extent the Employee is a member of the Company's
Board of Directors, he may retain information which he obtains in connection
with his duties as a Board member to the extent that and as long as such
information is necessary to the performance of such duties.

                  4.3.     The Employee agrees that his obligation not to
disclose or to use information and materials of the types set forth in Sections
4.1 and 4.2 above, and his obligation to return materials and tangible property
set forth in Section 4.2 above also extends to such types of information,
materials and tangible property of customers of the Company or suppliers to the
Company or other third parties who may have disclosed or entrusted the same to
the Company or to the Employee.

         5.       Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation. For a period of one (1)
year after the Employee's Separation Date, the Employee will not, in the
geographical areas that the Company or any of its subsidiaries does business or
has done business at the time of the Separation Date, directly or indirectly:

                  5.1.     Engage in any business or enterprise (whether as
owner, partner, officer, director, employee, consultant, investor, lender or
otherwise, except as the holder of not more than 1% of the outstanding stock of
a publicly-held company) that is competitive with the Company's business,
including but not limited to any business or enterprise that develops,
manufactures, markets, or sells any product or service that competes with any
product or service developed, manufactured, marketed or sold, or planned to be
developed, manufactured, marketed or sold, by the Company or any of its
subsidiaries while the Employee was employed by the Company; or

                  5.2.     Either alone or in association with others (i)
solicit, recruit, induce, attempt to induce, or permit any organization directly
or indirectly controlled by the Employee to solicit, recruit, induce, or attempt
to induce any employee of the Company to leave the employ of the Company, or
(ii) solicit, recruit, induce, attempt to induce for employment or hire or
engage as an independent contractor, or permit any organization directly or
indirectly controlled by the Employee to solicit, recruit, induce, attempt to
induce for employment or hire or engage as an independent contractor, any person
who was employed by the Company or who was employed by the Company at any time
during the term of the Employee's employment with the Company; provided, that
this Section (5.2) shall not apply (a) to any individual's employment with the
Company which has been terminated for a period of six months or longer or (b) to
any individual who was terminated by the Company in a reduction in force for a
period of three months or longer; or

                  5.3.     Either alone or in association with others, solicit,
divert or take away, or attempt to solicit, divert or take away, or permit any
organization directly or indirectly controlled by the Employee to solicit,
divert or take away, or attempt to solicit, divert or take away, the business or
patronage of any of the clients, customers or accounts, or prospective clients,
customers or accounts, of the Company, which were contacted, solicited or served
by the Company at any time during the term of the Employee's employment with the
Company.

         6.       Non-disparagement. The Employee understands and agrees that as
a condition for payment to him of the consideration described herein, he will
not make any false, disparaging or derogatory statements to any media outlet,
industry group, financial institution or current or former employee, consultant,
client or customer of the Company regarding the Company or any of its directors,
officers, employees, agents or representatives or about the Company's business
affairs and financial condition. Provided, however, that nothing contained in
this Section 6 shall prevent or inhibit the Employee from fulfilling his
fiduciary duties as a member of the Company's Board of Directors. The Company
will not make any false, disparaging or derogatory statements to any media
outlet, industry group, financial institution or current or former employee,
consultant, client or customer of the Company regarding the Employee's tenure as
an executive officer of the Company. Provided, however, that nothing contained
in this Section 6 shall prevent or inhibit the Company from fulfilling its
duties to its shareholders.

         7.       Litigation Cooperation. The Employee agrees to make himself
reasonably available to cooperate with the Company in the defense or prosecution
of any claims or actions which already have been brought or which may be brought
in the future against or on behalf of the Company arising from matters relating
to his work and his responsibilities during his employment with the Company,
whether before state or federal court or any state or federal government agency.
The Employee agrees that he will notify the Company promptly in the event that
he is served with a subpoena, or in the event that he is asked to provide a
third party with information concerning any actual or potential complaint or
claim against the Company. Subject to the foregoing, the Employee agrees to make
himself available to meet with counsel for the Company in connection with the
Company's preparation of its claims or defenses. The Employee will testify
truthfully under all circumstances.

and may not be abandoned, supplemented, changed or modified in any manner,
orally or otherwise, except by an instrument in writing of concurrent or
subsequent date signed by a duly authorized representative of the parties
hereto. This Agreement is binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the
parties and their respective agents, assigns, heirs, executors, successors and
administrators.

         9.       Waiver of Rights. No delay or omission by the Company in
exercising any rights under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of that or
any other right. A waiver or consent given by the Company on any one occasion
shall be effective only in that instance and shall not be construed as a bar or
waiver of any right on any other occasion.

         10.      Validity. Should any provision of this Agreement be declared
or be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal or
invalid, the validity of the remaining parts, terms, or provisions shall not be
affected thereby and said illegal or invalid part, term or provision shall be
deemed not to be a part of this Agreement.

         11.      Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws
of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to conflict of laws
provisions. The Employee hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the
courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, or if appropriate, a federal court
located in Massachusetts (which courts, for purposes of this Agreement, are the
only courts of competent jurisdiction), over any suit, action or other
proceeding arising out of, under, or in connection with this Agreement or its
subject matter.

         12.      Acknowledgments. The Employee acknowledges that he has been

or agreements of any kind have been made to or with him by any person or entity
whatsoever to cause him to sign this Agreement, and that he fully understands

                             STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

                  Agreement (the "Option Agreement") dated this 5th day of
November, 2001 (the "Date of Grant"), between Infinium Software, Inc., a
Massachusetts corporation (the "Company"), and Robert A. Pemberton (the
"Participant"), a non-employee member of the Board of Directors of the Company
with a residence address at 125 Wianno Avenue, Osterville, Massachusetts 02655.

                  1.       Grant of Option. The Company hereby grants to the
Participant an option to purchase, in whole or in part and from time to time, on
the terms herein provided, a total of twenty eight thousand (28,000) shares of
Common Stock of the Company ("Common Stock") at $1.35 per share, which is not
less than the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date hereof. This
option is granted pursuant to and subject to the provisions of the Company's
1995 Stock Plan (the "Plan") attached hereto as Exhibit A. Capitalized terms
used herein but not defined herein have the meanings given them in the Plan.

                  2.       Time Limits. Except as otherwise provided in this
Section, in Section 6 hereof (relating to the death or permanent disability of

                      7,000 Shares                      5 November 2005
</TABLE>

This option may not be exercised to any extent after the expiration of ten years
from the Date of Grant.

                  3.       Exercise of Option. This option (or any part or
installment hereof) shall be exercised by giving written notice to the Company
by mail or in person, signed by the person entitled to exercise the option,
stating the number of shares with respect to which the option is being
exercised, accompanied by payment in full for such shares.

                  4.       Payment for and Delivery of Stock. The shares of
Common Stock purchased on any exercise of the option shall be paid for in full
at the time of such exercise. The option price may be paid (a) in United States
dollars in cash or by check or (b)in whole or in part in shares of the Common
Stock of the Company already owned by the person or persons exercising the
option or shares subject to the option being (subject to such restrictions and
guidelines as the Board may adopt from time to time), valued at Fair Market
Value at the time of exercise, as determined by the Committee, in determining
the extent to which the option price has been paid in shares, or (c) consistent
with applicable law, through the delivery of an

<PAGE>
assignment to the Company of a sufficient amount of the proceeds from the sale
of the Common Stock acquired upon exercise of the option and an authorization to
the broker or selling agent to pay that amount to the Company, which sale shall
be at the Participant's direction at the time of exercise.

                  5.       Non-transferability of Option. This option may not be
transferred by the Participant otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent
and distribution or pursuant to a domestic relations order, and during the
Participant's lifetime this option may be exercised only by him.

                  6.       Death or Permanent Disability. If the Participant
ceases to be a member of the Board of Directors as a result of his death or
permanent disability, any option granted to such Participant shall be
immediately and automatically accelerated and become fully vested and all
unexercised options shall be exercisable by the Participant (or by the
Participant's personal representative, heir or legatee, in the event of death)
until the scheduled expiration date of the option.

                  7.       Termination of Status as a Member of the Board of
Directors. If the status of the Participant as a member of the Board of
Directors terminates for any reason other than his death or permanent
disability, any then unexercised portion of options granted to such optionee
shall, to the extent not then vested, immediately, terminate and become void.
Any portion of an option which is then vested but has not been exercised at the
time the participant so ceases to be a member of the Board may be exercised, to
the extent it is then vested, by the participant within 90 days of the date the
Participant ceased to be a member of the Board; and all options shall terminate
after such 90 days have expired. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, in the
event any unexercised portion of any option would otherwise terminate when there
is a restriction on the Participant's ability either to exercise the option or
sell any shares issuable upon exercise of the option due to a pooling lock-up
period in the event of a business combination involving the Company, or a
blackout period imposed by the Company to prevent insider trading violations,
the termination of the option will be extended thirty (30) days beyond the lapse
of such restriction, but in no event beyond the period of the option pursuant to
Section 6 of the Plan. Provided, however, in the event that a Participant ceases
to be a member of the Board for any reason but shall continue to render services
to the Company pursuant to a written consulting agreement, any option granted to
such Participant shall continue to vest in accordance with Section 2 for so long
as such person continues so to serve as a consultant to the Company.

                  8.       Changes in Stock. In the event of a stock dividend,
stock split or other change in corporate structure or capitalization affecting
the Common Stock, the Committee shall make appropriate adjustments in (i) the
number and kind of shares of stock remaining subject to the option at the time
of such change and (ii) the option price. The Committee's determination shall be
binding on all persons concerned. If the Company is to be consolidated with or
acquired by another entity in a merger, sales of all or substantially all of the
Company's assets or otherwise, this option shall become exercisable in full
thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of such event.

<PAGE>
                  9.       Reservation of Shares. The Company shall at all times
during the term of the option granted hereby reserve and keep available such
number of shares of the Common Stock as will be sufficient to satisfy the
requirements of the option granted hereby.

                  10.      Restrictions on Disposition. All shares acquired by
the Participant pursuant to the option granted hereby shall be subject to all
restrictions set forth in the Company's by-laws and in any applicable agreements
between or among the Participant, other shareholders and/or the Company.

                  11.      No Right to Continuation on the Board of Directors.
The grant of this option does not confer upon the Participant any right to
continued election or retention on the Company's Board of Directors.

                  12.      Communications. Any communication or notice required
or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be delivered in hand, if to
the Company, to its Secretary at 25 Communications Way, Independence Park,
Hyannis, MA 02601, and, if to the Participant, at the address set forth on the
first page of this Agreement or such other address, in each case, as the
addressee shall last have furnished to the communicating party.

                  13.      Miscellaneous. This option granted hereunder shall be
construed under and governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

                  IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Infinium Software, Inc. has caused this
Agreement to be executed by its duly authorized officer and the Participant has
hereunto set his hand, both as of the Date of Grant set forth above.
