	Re:	Separation Agreement and Release 

 Dear Bill, 
 As you have been notified, your last date of employment with Salary.com, Inc. (“Salary.com”) was January 7, 2009 (the “Termination Date”). While
we regret the need to take this action, we are pleased to be able to offer you and other affected employees the severance pay and benefits described in this letter (the “Letter Agreement”). As of the Termination Date, your salary, wages,
commissions or bonuses (if any), vacation accrual and all other benefits and compensation of every kind or nature from Salary.com ceased except as required by federal or state law, or otherwise set forth below. You acknowledge that from and after
the Termination Date, you shall have no authority to represent yourself as an employee or agent of Salary.com, and you agree not to represent yourself in the future as an employee or agent of Salary.com. 
 1. Vacation Pay. You have been paid for all accrued and unused vacation time through the Termination Date. The vacation pay was paid to you by
check on the Termination Date. 
 2. Consideration. In consideration of the promises agreed to by you in this Letter Agreement
(including your promises contained in the General Release of Claims & Covenant Not to Sue section, below), Salary.com will (a) continue to pay your current base salary, less all applicable federal, state or local tax withholding,
F.I.C.A., and any other applicable payroll deductions for a period of 24 weeks (the “Salary Continuation Period”). Such payments shall be made in installments corresponding to Salary.com’s regular pay periods and shall be mailed to
you at the address listed above; (b) provide you with medical and dental benefits as described in the COBRA section below; (c) accelerate the vesting of all of your outstanding equity grants as set forth in Section 4 below; and
(d) provide you with certain outplacement services as set forth in Section 5 below (collectively referred to as the “Severance Benefits”). Salary.com’s obligation to pay you the Severance Benefits is subject to and
conditioned upon Salary.com’s receipt of this Letter Agreement signed by you, the expiration of the seven (7) day revocation period contained in Section 7, and your adherence to the terms of this Letter Agreement. 
 3. COBRA. Effective upon the Termination Date, you will have the opportunity to continue the group medical and dental insurance coverage you
currently receive through the medical insurance plan offered by Salary.com to its employees, to the extent that you are so entitled under the federal law known as the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act, 29 U.S.C. §§1161-1168
(COBRA). If you are eligible under COBRA, a notice to you concerning COBRA rights and obligations will be forwarded to you. If you elect to continue your coverage pursuant to COBRA, Salary.com will continue to pay the employer’s portion of your
medical and dental insurance premiums during the Salary Continuation Period, under the terms in effect on the Termination Date. If you would like to remain eligible for COBRA coverage and choose to continue to receive such coverage after the Salary
Continuation Period, you will be responsible for notifying the HR department and paying the full insurance premium. 
 4. Equity
Grants. As of the Termination Date, Salary.com will accelerate the vesting of your stock option grants such that any options which were due to vest during the period from the Termination Date through June 30, 2020 will vest on the
Termination Date. You will be entitled to exercise only those stock options that are vested as of the Termination Date as modified by this provision, and only in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof. In addition, Salary.com will
accelerate the vesting of your restricted stock awards such that any shares which were due to vest during the period from the Termination Date through June 30, 2020 will vest on March 25, 2009. Attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated
by reference as a term of this Agreement is a Schedule prepared by Salary.com listing the restricted stock awards and stock options that will be accelerated hereunder. After the Termination Date, you acknowledge 

 
and agree that you do not have now, and will not in the future have, rights to vest in any other stock options or restricted stock award under any stock
incentive plan (of whatever name or kind) that you participated in or were eligible to participate in during your employment with Salary.com. Information regarding your vested equity grants and related exercise and sale procedures will be provided
to you. Salary.com represents and warrants that all stock options and restricted stock awards that are being accelerated are solely for shares of stock of Salary.com that are duly registered and, to Salary.com’s knowledge, such shares are
freely tradable by you. The stock options and restricted stock awards accelerated hereunder will not be subject to forfeiture and the shares of stock procured through the exercise of your options and by the vesting of your restricted shares will
result in shares that are duly issued and non-assessable by Salary.com nor will your shares of stock be subject to any repurchase right by Salary.com. Furthermore, to the extent there are any conflicts between the option or stock plan documents and
the terms of this Agreement that would invalidate any of Salary.com’s obligations hereunder, the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to supersede and govern. 
 5. Career Transition Services. Salary.com has engaged the services of Keystone Partners to assist you with your search for new employment. You will have access to consultants from Keystone Partners’
“Career Advancement Program” for a period of six (6) weeks which may be commenced within twelve (12) months of your Termination Date. 
 6. General Release of Claims & Covenant Not to Sue. In consideration of the Severance Benefits, you, for yourself and your heirs, legal representatives, beneficiaries, assigns and successors in
interest, hereby knowingly and voluntarily release and forever discharge Salary.com, its successors, assigns, parent corporations, affiliates, subsidiaries, and all of their respective past, present or future shareholders, officers, directors,
employees, agents, attorneys and representatives, whether in their individual or official capacities (“Company Released Parties”), from any and all actions or causes of action, suits, debts, claims, complaints, contracts, controversies,
agreements, promises, damages, claims for attorneys’ fees, costs, interest, punitive damages or reinstatement, judgments and demands whatsoever, in law or equity, you now have, may have or ever had, whether known or unknown, suspected or
unsuspected, from the beginning of the world to this date, including, without limitation, any claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, 29 U.S.C. §621 et seq.; Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. §
2000e et seq.; the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, 29 U.S.C. §1000 et seq.; the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. §12101 et seq.; Massachusetts General Laws, Chapters 149, 151B, 214; the
Massachusetts Civil Rights Act; the Massachusetts Equal Rights Act; claims for breach of contract or based on tort; and any other statutory, regulatory or common law causes of action (“the Released Claims”). You hereby acknowledge and
understand that this is a General Release and by signing this Agreement you are giving up your rights to file any claim in any court and to seek and/or receive any form of compensation arising from your employment or separation from employment. 

 To the extent permitted by law, you specifically agree not to commence any legal action in any state or federal court (an “Action”) against any
of the Company Released Parties arising out of or in connection with the Released Claims. To the extent permitted by law, you expressly agree that if you commence such an Action in violation of this Agreement, you shall indemnify the Company
Released Parties for the full and complete costs of defending such an Action and enforcing this Agreement, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (whether incurred in a third party action or in an action to enforce this Agreement), court costs,
and other related expenses. This Agreement does not act as a waiver or release of any complaints or charges that you cannot by law waive or release, and does not prohibit you from: (i) challenging, in a court of law or other forum, the validity
of this release under the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”), (ii) filing a charge or complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”), the Massachusetts Commission Against
Discrimination (“MCAD”), or any other state or federal agency, or (iii) participating in any investigation or proceeding conducted by the EEOC, MCAD or any other federal, state or local governmental agency. Moreover, this Agreement
and general release of claims herein shall not act to release, discharge or modify: (i) any of your rights to corporate indemnification from Salary.com or its successors or assigns (ii) your rights to insurance coverage from
Salary.com’s insurers, or (iii) any of your other rights under this Agreement.

or to the extent necessary to enforce your rights under this Letter Agreement, provided that, if you anticipate making such disclosure, you shall give at least five (5) days prior advance written notice to Salary.com’s Vice
President of Human Resources. Nothing in this section shall prevent you from cooperating with or participating in any proceeding before the EEOC, the MCAD or any other federal, state or local governmental agency. Finally, you may disclose terms

In the event of any dispute, this Letter Agreement will be construed as a whole, will be interpreted in accordance with its fair meaning, and will not be construed strictly for or against either you or Salary.com. This Letter Agreement will be
governed by Massachusetts law, without giving effect to the principles of conflict of law. This Letter Agreement may be modified only by a written agreement signed by you and an authorized representative of Salary.com. 
 16. Severability. You and Salary.com hereby agree that each provision herein shall be treated as a separate and independent clause, and the
unenforceability of any one clause shall in no way impair the enforceability of the other clauses herein. If any term or provision of this Agreement shall, to any extent, be found invalid or unenforceable by a court or governmental agency of
competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected, and shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
