any 401(k) plan, any pension plan and any similar plan, to the extent Executive is entitled to
benefits under the respective terms thereof.

     3. Release of Unknown Claims. Executive recognizes that he may have some claim,
demand, or cause of action against the Releasees relating to any Claim of which he is totally
unaware and unsuspecting and which is given up by the execution of this Agreement. It is
Executive’s intention in executing this Agreement with the advice of legal counsel that this
Agreement will deprive him of any such Claim and prevent Executive or any Derivative Claimant from
asserting the same. The provisions of any local, state, federal, or foreign law, statute, or
judicial decision providing in substance that this Agreement shall not extend to such unknown or
unsuspecting claims, demands, or damages, are hereby expressly waived.

     4. Acknowledgment. Executive acknowledges that he has thoroughly discussed all
aspects of this Agreement with his attorney, that he has carefully read and fully understands all
of the provisions of this Agreement, and that he is voluntarily entering into this Agreement.
Executive hereby waives the requirement under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act that
Executive has forty-five (45) days to review and consider this Agreement before executing it.
Executive acknowledges and understands that he shall have seven (7) days after signing this
Agreement during which he may revoke this Agreement by providing written notice to Company within
seven (7) days following its execution. Any notice of revocation of this Agreement shall not be
effective unless given in writing and received by Company within the seven-day revocation period
via personal delivery, overnight courier, or certified U.S. mail, return receipt requested, to
PRG-SCHULTZ USA, INC., 600 Galleria Parkway, Suite 100, Atlanta, Georgia 30339, Attention: General
Counsel. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT BECOME EFFECTIVE AND ENFORCEABLE UNTIL SUCH SEVEN (7) DAY PERIOD
HAS EXPIRED. IF EXECUTIVE REVOKES THIS AGREEMENT WITHIN SUCH SEVEN (7) DAY PERIOD, EXECUTIVE WILL
NOT BE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE ANY OF THE RIGHTS AND BENEFITS DESCRIBED HEREIN OR UNDER THE EMPLOYMENT
AGREEMENT OR CHANGE OF CONTROL AGREEMENT, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT EXECUTIVE WOULD HAVE BEEN
ENTITLED TO RECEIVE SUCH BENEFITS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF HIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT.

 

 

     Executive furthermore acknowledges receipt, in Exhibit “A” attached hereto, of: (1) a
list of the job titles and ages of all employees who were selected for Company’s involuntary
termination program applicable to Executive’s decisional unit; (2) information describing any
class, unit, or group of individuals covered by such program, any selection factors for such
program, and any time limits applicable to such program; and, (3) a list of employees in the same
job classification or organizational unit (meaning the same decisional unit) of Company who were
not selected for the program.

     5. No Assignment. Executive represents and warrants that he has not assigned or
transferred, or purported to assign or transfer, to any person, entity, or individual whatsoever,
any of the Claims released herein. Executive agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Releasees
against any Claim based on, arising out of, or due to any such assignment or transfer.

     6. Indemnification. In furtherance of the foregoing, Executive agrees on behalf of
himself and the Derivative Claimants not to sue or prosecute any matter against any Releasee with
respect to any Claim and agrees to hold each Releasee harmless with respect to any such suit or
prosecution in contravention of this Section 6. Executive understands that if this Agreement were
not signed, he would have the right voluntarily to assist other individuals or entities in bringing
Claims against the Releasees. Executive hereby waives that right and hereby agree that he will not
voluntarily provide any such assistance. To the extent that applicable law prohibits Executive
from waiving his right to bring and/or participate in the investigation of a Claim, Executive
nevertheless waives his right to seek or accept any damages or relief in any such proceeding.
Executive shall continue to be entitled to indemnification to the extent provided by, and in
accordance with the terms of, any other indemnification provision under which Executive was
entitled prior to the execution of this Agreement, including, without limitation, under the Bylaws
of the Company or PRG-Schultz International, Inc. (“Parent”), and any Indemnification Agreement
currently in effect between Executive and the Company or Parent.

     7. Representation Regarding Knowledge of Trade Secrets and/or Inventions. Executive
hereby acknowledges and confirms that he has no right, claim or interest to any property,
invention, trade secret, information or other asset used in the business of Company and that all
such property, inventions, trade secrets, information and other assets used in the business of
Company are owned by Company or its affiliates or licensed to Company or its affiliates by third
parties not affiliated with Executive.

all files, records, credit cards, keys, identification cards/badges, computer access codes,

are in the possession, custody or control of Executive or his attorneys, agents,

 

 

family members, or other representatives, which are alleged to support in any way any of the
claims Executive has released under this Agreement.

     (b) The foregoing representation shall include all Proprietary Information of Company and
Company. With respect to Proprietary Information, Executive warrants, represents, and covenants to
return such Proprietary Information on or before the close of business on February 17, 2006. As

prospective clients, methods of operation, billing rates, billing procedures, suppliers, business
methods, finances, management, or any other business information relating to Company or its
affiliates (whether constituting a trade secret or proprietary or otherwise) which has value to
Company or its affiliates and is treated by Company or its affiliates as being confidential;
provided; however, that Proprietary Information shall not include any information that has been
voluntarily disclosed to the public by Company or its affiliates (except where such public
disclosure has been made without authorization) or that has been independently developed and

third party and which Company or its affiliates are obligated to treat as confidential.
Proprietary Information may or may not be marked by Company or its affiliates as “proprietary” or
“secret” or with other words or markings of similar meaning, and the failure of Company to make
such notations upon the physical embodiments of any Proprietary Information shall not affect the
status of such information as Proprietary Information.

     Company is experiencing a workforce reorganization wherein certain individuals are being
terminated involuntarily and are being offered good and valuable consideration to which they would

     1. A list of the job titles and ages of all employees who were selected for Company’s

financial restructuring expertise. This involuntary termination program will remain open for a
period of 45 days from the presentation of any document constituting a separation agreement and
release of all claims to each individual covered by the program, unless extended by Company in its
sole and absolute discretion.
