PROGRESS SOFTWARE CORPORATION

2011 FISCAL YEAR COMPENSATION PROGRAM

	 	•	 	Additional Annual Non-Executive

Chairman Retainer (cash):                    $37,500

	 	•	 	Committee fees (cash):

	 	 	 	 	 

	 

	 	Audit Committee:
	 	$25,000 for Chair

$20,000 for Members

	 	 	 	 	 

	 

	 	Nominating and Corporate

	 	$12,500 for Chair

$10,000 for Members

	 	 	 	 	 

	 

	 	Compensation Committee:
	 	$20,000 for Chair

$15,000 for Members

	 	 	 	 	 

	 

	 	Special Committees:

(while in use)
	 	$25,000 for Chair

$20,000 for Members

	 	 	Equity Component:

	 	•	 	$200,000 to be delivered in two equal installments (as set forth below under
“Timing”), consisting of a combination of Options and Director Shares. The split
between Options and Director Shares will be determined by each Director individually
by written election made at least seven (7) calendar days in advance of the issuance
of the first installment of the Equity Component.

	 	•	 	The annual election will be expressed as a percentage of the total Equity Component
(e.g., 50% in Options and 50% in Director Shares) and may consist of all Options, all
Director Shares or any combination thereof. Such election will be irrevocable and
will apply to both installments of the Equity Component. If a Director fails to make
a timely election, the Corporation will apply a 50/50 split between Options and
Director Shares with respect to that Director.

	 	•	 	The number of Options to be issued in an installment will be determined by dividing
one-half of the Options elected by the Director by the Black-Scholes value on the
grant date, and the number of Director Shares to be issued in an installment will be
determined by dividing one half of the Director Shares elected by the Director by the
fair market value of Company common stock on the date of issuance.

 

 

	 	•	 	The Director Shares will be full value shares of Company common stock and will not
be subject to any vesting requirement or transfer or other restrictions. Options will
be fully vested upon issuance.

	 	 	Timing

	 	•	 	Annual fiscal year cash compensation will be paid in two installments, at the
Compensation Committee meetings in April (or such later time as the Company’s Annual
Meeting of Shareholders occurs) and October. The April payment is for service from
December 1 through May 31, and the October payment is for service from June 1 through
November 30. Amounts paid will be pro-rated for partial year service, with a
fractional month of service rounded to a whole month. Accordingly, if a Director
resigns from the Board, is removed from the Board by a vote, is removed from the Board
due to a change in control, or dies in office, he or she is paid a pro-rated amount
for service through date of termination of service. Similarly a Director who joins
the Board other than on the first day of the fiscal year will be paid a pro-rated
amount of the annual fiscal year compensation. The same proration rule will also
apply to any partial year service on any committee.

B. Initial Director Appointment Grant

	 	 	Each newly elected Director shall receive an Initial Director Appointment Grant of $300,000
of Option equivalent shares at the first April or October grant date following his or her
election to the Board. The split between Options and DSUs will be determined by each
Director individually by written election made at least seven (7) calendar days in advance
of the issuance of the Initial Director Appointment Grant. Such election will be expressed
as a percentage of the Initial Director Appointment Grant (e.g., 50% in Options and 50% in
DSUs) and may consist of all Options, all Deferred Stock Units (“DSUs”) or any combination
thereof, with each DSU having a value equivalent to 2.5 Options; provided,
however, that if the Corporation modifies the value equivalent ratio between
restricted equity issued to employees and Options, such modified value equivalent ratio
shall thereafter apply to any subsequent Initial Director Appointment Grant. The precise
number of Options and/or DSUs to be issued to the newly elected Director will be determined
by dividing the dollar amount of the Options by the Black Scholes value on the date of
grant and the dollar amount of the DSUs by the fair market value of Company common stock on
the date of issuance.

	 	 	Options and DSUs will vest over a 48-month period, beginning on the first day of the month
following the month the Director joins the Board, with full acceleration upon a change in
control. Initial Director Appointment Options shall contain such other similar terms as
applicable to employee options. DSUs will be settled upon a Director’s separation from
service from the Board of Directors or change in control, if earlier, and not upon vesting.

2

 

C. Stock Retention Guidelines

	 	 	All non-employee Directors must hold 7,500 shares of the Corporation’s common stock, which
for purposes of this requirement shall include Director Shares and vested DSUs. Directors
have five years to attain this guideline from the date of election to the Board.

D. Miscellaneous

	 	 	Employee Directors shall not be entitled to participate in the 2011 Director Compensation
Plan.

Documents in accordance with Section 7.2 of the Amended and Restated Intercreditor and Collateral

of Notes an amount equal to the Senior Leverage Amendment Fee discounted from July 15, 2012 to the
Discounted Fee Payment Date at a 15% per annum discount rate (such amount, the “Discounted Senior
Leverage Amendment Fee”). For the avoidance of doubt, payment in full by the Company of the
Discounted Senior Leverage Amendment Fee prior to the Senior Leverage Amendment Fee Payment Date
shall satisfy the Company’s obligations with respect to the Senior Leverage Amendment Fee;
provided, however, if the Gores Notes are paid in full, surrendered or refinanced within thirty
(30) days after the Discounted Fee Payment Date, the Company shall pay to each holder of Notes, on
such date the Gores Notes are paid in full, surrendered or refinanced, an amount equal to (a) the
Senior Leverage Amendment Fee less (b) the Discounted Senior Leverage Amendment Fee previously paid
to the holders of the Notes.

6. Consent and Waiver. Effective as of the Effective Date, (a) the Collateral Trustee
and the Required Holders hereby consent to the Traffic Sale Transaction pursuant to and in
accordance with the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, including, without limitation, the sale
of the Purchased Assets from the Company to Purchaser and the transactions contemplated by the
Stock Purchase Agreement, and (b) the Noteholders hereby agree and instruct the Collateral Trustee
to execute and release to the Company and the Purchaser that certain executed Partial Release of
Collateral and Release of Guarantors attached hereto as Annex 3 (the “Partial Collateral
Release”) concurrently with the consummation of the Traffic Sale Transaction, whereupon the Partial
Collateral Release shall be in full force and effect.

7. Effect of Amendment. Except as expressly set forth herein and in the Partial
Collateral Release, all terms of the Existing Securities Purchase Agreement, as amended hereby,
each other Financing Document and any document entered into in connection therewith, shall be and
remain in full force and effect. Except as expressly set forth herein and in the Partial
Collateral Release, the execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not operate
as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Noteholders under the Existing Securities Purchase
Agreement, any other Financing Document or any other documents entered into in connection
therewith, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the Existing Securities Purchase Agreement,
any other Financing Document or any other documents entered into in connection therewith. Any and
all notices, requests, certificates and other instruments executed and delivered after the
execution and delivery of this Amendment may refer to the Existing Securities Purchase Agreement
without making specific reference to this Amendment, but nevertheless all such references shall include this Amendment unless the context otherwise
requires.

 

10

 

8. Confirmation of Amended and Restated Guarantee. By executing this Amendment each
of the Subsidiary Guarantors (other than the Traffic Subsidiaries) acknowledges and confirms that
(a) the Amended and Restated Guarantee continues in full force and effect notwithstanding the
Securities Purchase Agreement Amendments and (b) the indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of
the Company under the Securities Purchase Agreement, each other Financing Document and this
Amendment constitute indebtedness, liabilities and obligations guaranteed under the Amended and
Restated Guarantee. Nothing in this Amendment extinguishes, novates or releases any right, claim,
or entitlement of any of the Noteholders created by or contained in the Securities Purchase
Agreement, the Notes or the Amended and Restated Guarantee nor is the Company or any Subsidiary
Guarantor released from any covenant, warranty or obligation created by or contained herein or
therein, except as such rights, claims, entitlements, covenants and obligations are specifically
extinguished, released or amended by this Amendment and as specifically provided in the Partial
Collateral Release.

9. Confirmation of Lien. The Company agrees that the Collateral Trustee’s Liens shall
continue to attach to a portion of the Net Cash Proceeds from the sale of the Purchased Assets
equal to the Pay-Down Amount until payment to the Noteholders (other than Gores) of such Pay-Down
Amount (and with respect to any remaining portion of such Net Cash Proceeds that is required to be
deposited into escrow pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company
acknowledges that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Trustee’s Liens shall reattach to all
or any portion of such proceeds that are subsequently returned to the Company, in accordance with
the terms of the Security Documents).

10. Consent to Sixth Bank Amendment. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions
set forth in Section 2 hereof, the Noteholders hereby consent to the execution and delivery of the
Sixth Bank Amendment in the form attached as Annex 1, and agree that Wells Fargo Capital Finance,
LLC and the Banks can rely on this consent as intended third party beneficiaries without the need
to independently verify whether any of the conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this
Amendment have been satisfied and this sentence may not be amended, modified or supplemented
without the prior written consent of Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC and the Banks.

11. Release.

(a) In consideration of the agreements of the Noteholders contained herein and for other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged,
each of the Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor, on behalf of itself and its successors,
assigns, and other legal representatives, hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably
releases, remises and forever discharges the Noteholders, and their successors and assigns, and
their present and former shareholders, affiliates, subsidiaries, divisions, predecessors, directors, officers,

 

11

 

attorneys, financial advisors, employees, agents and other representatives (each Noteholder
and all such other Persons being hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Releasees” and
individually as a “Releasee”), of and from all demands, actions, causes of action, suits,
covenants, contracts, controversies, agreements, promises, sums of money, accounts, bills,
reckonings, damages and any and all other claims, counterclaims, defenses, rights of set-off,
demands and liabilities whatsoever (individually, a “Claim” and collectively, “Claims”) of every
name and nature, either known or suspected, both at law and in equity, which the Company, any
Subsidiary Guarantor or any of their successors, assigns, or other legal representatives may now
or hereafter own, hold, have or claim to have against the Releasees or any of them for, upon, or
by reason of any circumstance, action, cause or thing whatsoever which arises at any time on or
prior to the day and date of this Amendment, including, without limitation, for or on account of,
or in relation to, or in any way in connection with any of the Securities Purchase Agreement, any
of the other Financing Documents or any other documents entered into in connection therewith or
transactions thereunder or related thereto.

(b) Each of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors understands, acknowledges and agrees
that the release set forth above may be pleaded as a full and complete defense and may be used as
a basis for an injunction against any action, suit or other proceeding which may be instituted,
prosecuted or attempted in breach of the provisions of such release.

12. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance
with, the internal laws of the State of New York excluding choice-of-law principles of the law of
such State that would require the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such State.

13. No Novation. This Amendment is not intended by the parties to be, and shall not
be construed to be, a novation of the Existing Securities Purchase Agreement or an accord and
satisfaction in regard thereto.

14. Amendments. This Amendment may not be amended, waived or modified without the
prior written consent of the Company and the Required Holders.

15. Severability. Any provision of this Amendment that is prohibited or unenforceable
in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such
prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such
prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law) not
invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

16. Fees and Expenses. Whether or not the Securities Purchase Agreement Amendments
become effective, the Company will, in accordance with Section 14.1 of the Existing Securities
Purchase Agreement, promptly (and in any event within 30 days of receiving any statement or invoice
therefor) pay all reasonable fees, expenses and costs of the Noteholders relating to this
Amendment, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of the Noteholders’ special counsel, Bingham McCutchen LLP, and
financial advisor, Conway, Del Genio, Gries & Co., LLC.

17. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed by one or more of the parties hereto
in any number of separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which,
taken together, shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed
counterpart of this Amendment by facsimile transmission or by electronic mail in pdf form shall be
as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

18. Binding Nature. This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

19. Entire Understanding. This Amendment and the other Financing Documents set forth
the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters set forth herein and therein,
and shall supersede any prior negotiations or agreements, whether written or oral, with respect
thereto.

20. Headings. The headings of the sections of this Amendment are inserted for
convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part of this Amendment.
