Dear Jerry

I am writing to set out the terms of your appointment
as Non-Executive Chairman of SkyePharma PLC. It is agreed that this is a
contract for services and is not a contract of employment.

Appointment

Your appointment as Non-Executive Chairman will be for
a term of three years commencing on 2nd February 2006,
unless otherwise terminated earlier by and at the discretion of either party
upon one month’s written notice. Continuation of your contract of appointment
is contingent on satisfactory performance and re-election at forthcoming AGMs.

Time
commitment

We anticipate a significant time commitment which will
normally include attendance at monthly board meetings, the AGM and at least one
site visit per year. In addition, you will be expected to devote appropriate
preparation time ahead of each meeting.

By accepting this appointment, you have confirmed that
you are able to allocate sufficient time to meet the expectations of your role.

Role

The Board of the Company as a whole is collectively
responsible for the success of the company. The Board:

·                  provides entrepreneurial
leadership of the Company within a framework of prudent and effective controls
which enable risk to be assessed and managed;

·                  sets the Company’s
strategic aims, ensures that the necessary financial and human resources are in
place for the Company to meet its objectives, and reviews management performance;
and

·                  sets the Company’s
values and standards and ensure that its obligations to its shareholders and
others are understood and met.

All directors must take decisions objectively in the
interests of the Company. In addition it is the responsibility of the Chairman
to:

·                  run the Board
and set its agenda. The agenda should take full account of the issues and the
concerns of all Board members. Agendas should be forward looking and
concentrate on strategic matters rather than formulaic approvals of proposals
which can be subject to appropriate delegated powers to management;

·                  ensure that the
members of the Board receive accurate, timely and clear information, in
particular about the Company’s performance, to enable the Board to take sound
decisions, monitor effectively and provide advice to promote the success of the
Company;

·                  ensure effective
communication with shareholders and ensure that the members of the Board
develop an understanding of the views of the major investors;

·                  manage the Board
to ensure that sufficient time if allowed for discussion of complex or
contentious issues, where appropriate arranging for informal meetings
beforehand to enable thorough preparation for the Board discussion. It is
particularly important that Non-Executive Directors have sufficient time to
consider critical issues and are not faced with unrealistic deadlines for
decision-making;

·                  take the lead in
providing a properly constructed induction for new directors that is
comprehensive, formal and tailored, facilitated by the Company Secretary;

·                  take the lead in
identifying and meeting the development needs of individual directors, with the
Company Secretary having a key role in facilitating the process. It is the
responsibility of the Chairman to address the development needs of the Board as
a whole with a view to enhancing its overall effectiveness as a team;

·                  ensure that the
performance of the individuals and of the Board as a whole and its committees
is evaluated at least once a year; and

·                  encourage active
engagement by all the members of the Board.

Fees

You will be paid a fee of £70,000 gross per annum
which will be paid monthly in arrears and which will be subject to an annual
review by the board.

The Company will reimburse you for all reasonable and
properly documented expenses you incur in performing the duties of your office.

Outside
interests

It is accepted and acknowledged that you have business
interests other than those of the Company and have declared any conflicts that
are apparent at present. In the event that you become aware of any potential
conflicts of interest, these should be disclosed to the Board and Company
Secretary as soon as apparent.

Confidentiality

All information acquired during your tenure is confidential
to the Company and should not be released, either during your appointment or
following termination (by whatever means), to third parties without prior
clearance from the Board.

Your attention is also drawn to the requirements under
both legislation and regulation as to the disclosure of price sensitive
information. Consequently you should avoid making any statements that might
risk a breach of these requirements without prior clearance from the Board or
Company Secretary.

Insurance

The Company has directors’ and officers’ liability
insurance and it is intended to maintain such cover for the full term of your
appointment. The current indemnity limit is £15 million.

Independent
professional advice

Occasions may arise when you consider that you need
professional advice in the furtherance of your duties as a director.
Circumstances may occur when it will be appropriate for you to seek advice from
independent advisors at the Company’s expense. The Company will reimburse the
full cost of expenditure incurred in accordance with the schedule of Matters
Reserved for the Main Board.

Please indicate your acceptance of these terms by
signing and returning the enclosed copy of the letter.

Dear George:

Thank you for alerting us
to your pending acceptance of a full-time position with another employer, and
discussing the impact of acceptance of that position on your services to
SoftBrands, Inc. If I understand correctly, your official commencement

This letter is to clarify
our obligations under the Transition Agreement dated October 1, 2006 (the “Transition

from the CEO to the Executive Chairman position. As you know, that agreement
defines the terms upon which you would provide services to SoftBrands as Executive
Chairman (an employment position) and as Chairman of our Board of Directors. I
use capitalized terms in this letter based on the manner in which they are
defined in the Transition Agreement.

Based on our discussions,
we have agreed that:

1. Your services as
Executive Chairman of SoftBrands will end June 30, 2006, but you will

2006, and any further payments pursuant to that Section, will not be made;

b. You will
continue to be entitled to the Chairman Fee ($100,000 per year) during the
Chairman Term;

2006;

that SoftBrands will pay for all of the rental expense for the offices you
lease at 8401 North Central Expressway, Suite 840, Dallas, Texas, from July 1,
2006 through September 30, 2007, up to total cost of $97,500, but that you
will vacate those offices prior to July 15, 2006 and use your best
commercial efforts to work with your landlord to sublet, or otherwise
compromise, the lease to reduce our cost (to the extent you reduce the lease
obligation, our obligation to pay for the rental expense will be reduced);

 

e. You will assume
and pay the cost of the copier lease and fax machine equipment lease at the
Dallas office;

f. Your 1,650,000
options to purchase common stock, as well as the 10,000 RSU’s and 20,000 SARs
that we granted to you on December 29, 2005 in lieu of the 50,000 options
described in your Transition Agreement, will continue to remain outstanding
after June 30, 2006 and will continue to vest until their terms expire;

h. You will obtain
health insurance from your new employer, but we will make available to you,
provided that you continue to serve as Chairman of our Board of Directors at
the time you elect such benefits, benefits under the SoftBrands executive
retirement health plan (which allows you to acquire health insurance for you
and your spouse when you retire as Chairman, and until you reach the age of 65,
at scheduled rates); and

i. You may retain
the personal computer purchased by SoftBrands, Inc. and provided to you
for personal use.

3. Except for these
changes and clarifications, all of the terms of the Transition Agreement will

accurately reflects our agreement, I ask that you countersign the copy of this
letter I have provided and we will consider it a clarification or amendment to
your transition agreement.
