 Re: Letter Agreement Regarding Versata Inc.’s Severance Plan

  
 Dear Cheryl, 
  
 Versata, Inc. (“Versata” or the “Company”) has adopted a severance plan (the “Plan”), the
terms of which are included below. The Plan provides for certain pay and benefits for designated Plan Participants who otherwise qualify for such pay and benefits in, and only in, the event of occurrence of certain events as defined in the Plan
itself. 
  
 We are pleased to inform you that you have been
designated as a Plan Participant by the Company. Accordingly, subject to your agreement both to the terms of this Letter Agreement and to the terms of the Plan, upon termination of your employment, you may be eligible for severance payments, health
care coverage, and the exercise of vested options. 
  
 Accordingly, you hereby agree to the following: 
  
 (a)
Upon your separation from employment with Versata as explained in the Plan, as one condition of receiving any payment or benefit or the exercise of any rights under the Plan, you will execute a separation and consulting agreement and general release
in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A (the “Separation and Consulting Agreement and General Release”); 
  
 (b) If you execute the Separation Agreement, the determination of whether you are entitled to the payments and benefits shall be governed by the terms of
the Plan; and 
  
 (c) This Letter Agreement supercedes all
existing agreements between Versata and you, as well as any and all promises, policies, or practices by Versata, whether oral or written, that provide for severance payments or benefits from the Company to you upon or after the separation of your
employment. All other terms and conditions contained in any existing employment or other agreement with the Company will remain in full force and effect. 
  

	
	 Sincerely,

	
	/s/    DAVID K.
CHAMBERLAIN

	President and CEO

  
 I have read and understand the
Plan set forth below and agree to accept and abide by all of the terms and conditions as set forth in this Letter Agreement and in the Plan. 
  

					
	 ACKNOWLEDGED and AGREED

 SEVERANCE PLAN

  
 WHEREAS, Versata, Inc (the “Company”) has
adopted a severance policy (the “Plan”); and 
  
 WHEREAS, Cheryl Black (“You”) previously have agreed that your eligibility for consideration for participation in the Plan is conditional upon your execution of the Separation and Consulting Agreement and General Release; and

  
 WHEREAS, the Plan shall apply only, 
  
 (a) in the event your term of employment were to be terminated by the Company
other than for cause, or 
  
 (b) in the event you were to resign
from your position(s) with the Company (such termination or resignation being hereafter referred to as termination) within sixty days after either of the following events (i) written notice to you of a determination made in good faith by the Board
of Directors that there has been a change in your duties and position that is not reasonable in view of your previous position with the Company; or (ii) a reduction in your monthly salary that is not part of a Company wide salary reduction plan),
and you take all necessary actions to effectuate such termination with the Company including taking any actions, (i.e. resignations from positions held with the Company’s subsidiaries), as required by the Company; you will receive a
continuation of your monthly salary for a three (3) month period following the effective date of termination; or 
  
 (c) in the event a Corporate transaction or change in control occur during your employment, and you were to resign from your position(s) (such termination
or resignation being hereafter referred to as termination) within sixty days after either of the following events (i) there has been a change in your duties and position that is not reasonable in view of your previous position with the Company; or
(ii) a reduction in your monthly salary, and you take all necessary actions to effectuate such termination with the Company including taking any actions, (i.e. resignations from positions held with the Company’s subsidiaries), as required by
the Company; you will receive a continuation of your monthly salary for a six (6) month period following the effective date of termination. 
  
 1. Health Care Coverage. The Company will, at its expense, provide you and your eligible dependents with continued health care coverage
under the Company’s medical/dental plan until the earlier of (i) the first date that you are covered under another employer’s health benefit program which provides substantially the same level of benefits without exclusion for pre-existing
medical conditions or (ii) the end of the severance payment period under Paragraph 1. Any further coverage to which you or your dependents may be entitled during the remainder (if any) of your COBRA coverage period under Internal Revenue Code
Section 4980B will be at your sole expense. 
  
 2.
Consulting Services. You will provide and keep contact information current with the Company and will make yourself available to perform consulting services reasonably requested of you during the severance payment period under Paragraph 1
at times consistent with your other business obligations. For the first five (5) hours of consulting services you render per month, your sole compensation will be in the form of severance payments. To the extent you are requested to render more than
five (5) hours of consulting services in any month, you will be compensated for each additional hour at a reasonable hourly rate to be agreed upon by you and the Company at the time such consulting services are to be rendered. In no event will you
be required to render more than fifteen (15) hours of 

 
consulting services per month. You will also be reimbursed for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in rendering such services upon your submission
of appropriate documentation for those expenses. 
  
 4.

option term or (ii) the end of the applicable severance period measured from the date your severance payment period ends in which to exercise your options for any shares in which you are otherwise vested at the time of your termination or
resignation. 
  
 5. Restrictive Covenants.
During your consulting payment period under Paragraph 3: 
  
 (i) You will not directly or indirectly encourage or solicit any individual to leave the Company’s employ for any reason, or interfere in any other manner with the employment relationships at the time existing
between the Company and its current or prospective employees. 
  
 (ii) You will not induce or attempt to induce any customer, vendor, supplier, distributor, licensee or other business affiliate of the Company to cease doing business with the Company or in any way interfere with the
existing business relationship between any such customer, vendor, supplier, distributor, licensee or other business affiliate and the Company. 
  
 6. Termination for Cause. In the event of your termination for cause, you will not be entitled to receive any benefits under the Plan. 

 
 For purposes of the Plan, your services will be deemed to have been
terminated for cause if such termination occurs by reason of your commission of any act of fraud, embezzlement or dishonesty, your unauthorized use or disclosure of confidential information or trade secrets of the Company, or any other intentional
misconduct on your part which adversely affects the business or affairs of the Company in a material manner. 
  
 7. Reservation of Right to Terminate Plan. In the event the Company makes a good faith determination during the term of the Plan that you
participated in activity during your employment that warranted “for cause” termination, the Company reserves the right to immediately terminate the Plan and revoke any and all benefits accrued hereunder. 
  
 8. Death. In the event of your death while you are an employee of the
Company, your estate will receive the proceeds of any life insurance you may have purchased, but your estate will not receive any benefits under this agreement. The obligation of the Company to make payments to which you become entitled under this
agreement will terminate at the end of the month in which you die. Should you die before you exercise your outstanding options for all the vested shares purchasable thereunder, then those options may be exercised for vested shares on the date of
your death, within twelve (12) months after your death, by the executors or administrators of your estate or by persons to whom the options are transferred pursuant to your will or in accordance with the laws of inheritance. In no event, however,
may any such option be exercised after the specified expiration date of the option term. 

 9. Miscellaneous. This agreement will be binding upon the Company, its successors and
assigns (including, without limitation, the surviving entity in any Change in Control) and is to be construed and interpreted under the laws of the State of California. This agreement supersedes all prior agreements between you and the Company
relating to the subject of severance benefits payable upon termination of your services. The terms of this Plan may be mutually modified in writing. 
  
 10. At Will Service. Nothing in this agreement is intended to provide you with any right to continue as an employee of the Company (or any
subsidiary) for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way your rights or the rights of the Company (or any subsidiary), which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each party, to terminate your services at
any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause.
