responsibility to control, operate, manage and administer the Plan in accordance with its terms.

     4.2 Authority of the Committee. The Committee shall have all the authority
that may be necessary or helpful to enable it to discharge its responsibilities with respect to the
Plan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, with respect to the Plan generally and each
Fiscal Year individually, the Committee shall have the exclusive right to (a) interpret the Plan,
(b) determine eligibility for participation in the Plan, (c) decide all questions concerning
eligibility for and the amount of Awards payable under the Plan, (d) establish Performance Goal(s)
under the Plan and, before payment of any Award hereunder, evaluate performance and certify whether Performance Goal(s) and

and its action with respect to the Plan will be final, binding and conclusive upon all persons
having or claiming to have any right or interest in or under the Plan.

ARTICLE V

PERFORMANCE GOAL(S) AND MEASUREMENT

     5.1 Establishment of Performance Goal(s). On or before the 90th day of
each Fiscal Year, and while the outcome is substantially uncertain, the Committee shall, in
writing, (a) establish the objective Performance Goal(s) applicable to such Fiscal Year, including
the amount of or method of calculating the Award that may be payable to each Participant under the
Plan and (b) identify the Participant or group of Participants to whom such Performance Goal(s) are
applicable in accordance with Section 3.2. In the event more than one Performance Goal for such
Fiscal Year is established, the Committee shall also establish in writing the relative weighting of
each Performance Goal.

     A Performance Goal is a target level or levels of performance for a Fiscal
Year, which may be based on one or more business criteria that apply to the Participant, a business
unit, or the Company and related entities as a whole. The business criteria which the Committee may
use under this Plan are stock price, revenue, operating profit, operating income, market share,
sales, profitability, earnings per share, return on equity, return on capital, return on invested
capital, costs or other similar objective measures. The Committee may design the Performance
Goal(s) in a manner that is dependent upon whether the Performance Goal(s) for such Fiscal Year
were attained (all or nothing) or that provides for different levels of payment dependent upon the
level of attainment of the Performance Goal(s) for such Fiscal Year, as a whole or independently.
Payments will not be made if the applicable Performance Goal(s) are not attained. The Committee
shall retain the discretion to change the targets under the Performance Goal(s) subject to any
restrictions of Code Section 162(m).

     A Performance Goal is considered “objective” if a third party having knowledge
of the relevant performance results could calculate the amount to be paid to the employee. To be
objective, the formula must preclude Committee discretion to increase the amount of Award that
would otherwise be due upon attainment of the Performance Goal.

ARTICLE VI

PAYMENT OF AWARDS

     6.1 Eligibility for Payment of Award. Awards under this Plan will be paid
for each Fiscal Year solely following the Committee’s certification of the attainment of the
objective Performance Goal(s), as established under Section 5.1. To the extent Awards are payable,
Awards only shall be paid to Participants who were employed by the Company (a) on the last day of
the Fiscal Year, but (b) provided that the Award will be forfeited if the Participant is terminated
for cause prior to payment, and (c) except as otherwise permitted under Section 6.4.

     6.2 Certification of Attainment of Performance Goal(s). As soon as
practicable after the Company’s financial results for the Fiscal Year have been approved by the
Board of Directors or the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, the Committee will certify in
writing whether the Performance Goal(s) established for the Fiscal Year and other material terms
were, in fact, satisfied.

     6.3 Form and Time of Payment. Awards shall be paid in cash, as soon as
reasonably practicable after the Committee’s certification of the attainment of the Performance
Goal(s) and other material terms, subject to such terms, conditions, restrictions and limitations
as the Committee may determine, provided that such terms, conditions,

3

 

restrictions and limitations
are not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Awards
shall be paid no later than the later of (i) the date that is 2 1/2 months from the end of the
Participant’s first Taxable Year in which the amount is no longer subject to a substantial risk of
forfeiture or (ii) the date that is 2 1/2 months from the end of the Company’s first Fiscal Year in
which the amount is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, or such other date as is
approved by the Internal Revenue Service or the Secretary of the Treasury for the Plan to satisfy
the short-term deferral exception to the nonqualified deferred compensation rules of Code
Section 409A.

     6.4 Termination of Employment Due to Disability, Death or Certain Other
Events. If (a) a Participant’s employment is terminated during a Fiscal Year by reason of his
disability or death, or subject to the limitations of Code Section 162(m), if applicable, his
involuntary termination of employment not for “cause” or voluntary termination for “good reason” as
defined in any employment agreement or similar agreement with the Participant or his retirement,
and (b) the Participant has been a Participant in the Plan for at least three months of such Fiscal
Year, the Participant will be eligible to receive a prorated Award for the Fiscal Year in which
such termination of employment occurs.

     6.5 Limitations on Awards. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the
contrary, (a) no Award will be paid to any Participant for a Fiscal Year in which performance fails
to attain or exceed any minimum level established for the relevant Performance Goal(s); and (b) no
Award to a Participant for a Fiscal Year may exceed $5,000,000. In addition, the payment of any
Awards under this Plan may be made to a Participant by the Company in any manner appropriate to
secure the deductibility thereof. Furthermore, no Award shall be payable under this Plan to any
Covered Employee prior to approval of this Plan by the shareholders of the Company.

     6.6 Recoupment of Bonuses, Incentives and Gains and Cancellation of Equity
Awards Related to Certain Financial Restatements. Effective April 1, 2010, if the Board of
Directors or an appropriate Committee determines that the Company’s financials are restated due
directly or indirectly to fraud, ethical misconduct, intentional misconduct or a breach of
fiduciary duty by one or more Executive Officers or Vice Presidents, then the Board of Directors or
Committee will have the sole discretion to take such action, as permitted by law, as it deems
necessary to recover all or a portion of any bonus or incentive compensation paid in respect of any
Awards and recoup any gains realized in respect of equity-based Awards, and cancel any stock-based
Awards granted, provided recoveries cannot extend back more than three years.

ARTICLE VII

MISCELLANEOUS

     7.1 Employment. Nothing in this Plan will interfere with or limit in any
way the right of the Company to terminate a Participant’s employment at any time, nor confer upon
any Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company.

     7.2 Nonassignability. No Award under this Plan may be subject in any
manner to alienation, anticipation, sale, transfer (except by will or the laws of descent and
distribution), assignment, pledge or encumbrance, nor may any Award be payable to anyone other than
the Participant to whom it was granted (other than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution).

     7.3 Laws Governing. This Plan is to be construed in accordance with and
governed by the laws of the State of Ohio.

     7.4 Withholding Taxes. The Company may deduct from all payments under this
Plan any federal, state, local or other taxes or other amounts required by law to be withheld with
respect to such payments.

     7.5 Plan Binding on Company and Successors. This Plan will be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of the Company, its successors and assigns and each Participant and his or
her beneficiaries, heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives.

     7.6 Amendment and Termination. The Board of Directors may suspend or
terminate this Plan at any time with or without prior notice. In addition, the Board of Directors
may, from time to time and with or without prior notice, amend this Plan in any manner but may not
without shareholder approval adopt any amendment that would require the vote of the shareholders of
the Company pursuant to applicable laws, regulations or exchange requirements.

4

 

     7.7 Compliance with Section 162(m). With regard to all Covered Employees,
the Plan shall for all purposes be interpreted and construed in order to assure compliance with the
provisions of Code Section 162 (m). If any provision of this Plan would cause the Awards granted to
a Covered Employee not to constitute qualified “performance-based compensation” under Code
Section 162(m) for any Fiscal Year, that provision, insofar as it pertains to the Covered Employee,
shall be severed from, and shall be deemed not to be a part of this Plan, but the other provisions
hereof shall remain in full force and effect.

     7.8 Eligibility of Employees of Related Entities. Notwithstanding any
provision of this Plan to the contrary, the Committee may designate an employee of a company
related to the Company to be an Eligible Employee under the Plan provided the relationship of the
other company to the Company would result in both being part of an affiliated group of corporations
for purposes of Section 162(m).

     7.9 Mid-Year Eligibility. In the event an Eligible Employee commences
employment (or an employee is promoted to a position so as to make him an Eligible Employee) after
the expiration of the applicable 90-day period described in Section 5.1, the Committee may, in its
discretion, identify such individual as a Participant for a portion of such Fiscal Year and modify
the Performance Goal(s) in a manner that is reflective of the individual’s period of participation
within such Fiscal Year, subject to the application of Code Section 162(m).

protection afforded to intellectual property (collectively, “Innovations”), relating to any
activities or proposed activities of the Agilysys and its affiliates, conceived or developed
by you during your employment, whether or not conceived during regular business hours. Such
Innovations shall be the sole property of Agilysys. To the extent possible, such Innovations

Agreement (without any bond or other security being required), or any other appropriate decree
of specific performance. Such remedies are not exclusive and shall be in addition to any
other remedy which Agilysys may have. The provisions contained in this Paragraph 9 shall
survive the termination of this Agreement.

	10.	 	Severability and Reformation. The provisions of Paragraphs 6 through 10 of this Agreement
constitute independent and separable covenants which shall survive termination or expiration
of the Employment Period. Any paragraph, phrase, or other provision of this Agreement that is
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be overly broad in scope, duration, or area
of applicability or in conflict with any applicable statute or rule shall be deemed, if
possible, to be omitted from this Agreement. The invalidity of any portion hereof shall not

with the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of Agilysys’ business, or any
division or unit thereof, whether by way of sale of stock, sale of assets, merger or
other transaction. Such assignment by Agilysys will not constitute nor be deemed a
termination of your employment by Agilysys, and will not give rise to any rights under
Paragraph 5 of this Agreement. After such assignment, any further rights which you
have under this Agreement will be the responsibility of the Assignee.

	12.	 	General. This Agreement and the Non-Competition Agreement constitute our full understanding
relating to your employment with Agilysys and replace and supersede any and all agreements,
contracts, representations or understandings with respect to your employment. To the extent
any terms of the Non-Competition Agreement incorporated herein by reference conflict with this
Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control. This Agreement is governed by and is to
be construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Ohio, without
giving effect to principles of conflicts of law. In the event of a conflict between the terms
hereof and the provisions of Agilysys’ Employee Handbook, the terms hereof shall control;
otherwise, the provisions of the Employee Handbook shall remain applicable to your employment
relationship. Additionally, the terms of any Agilysys policies in place for all employees
generally shall remain applicable to your employment relationship to the extent such policies
do not conflict with the terms of this Agreement or the Non-Competition Agreement. This
Agreement may not be superseded, amended, or modified except in a writing signed by both
parties.

	 	 	In witness whereof the parties have executed this Agreement this 14th day of
January, 2010.
