WHEREAS, the Company desires to employ Executive to provide personal services to the Company, and wishes to provide Executive with certain compensation and benefits in return for Executive’s services; and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and agreements contained herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:

(a) Position. From the Effective Date, Executive shall be employed as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. In such capacity he shall have overall responsibility for the management of the affiliated group of companies for which the Company is the ultimate parent and report to and be subject to the direction and control of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). At least annually, the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) will review Executive’s performance in light of the Company’s corporate goals and objectives and will discuss the results of such review with the Board. Executive has been appointed as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors.

(b) Obligations to the Company. Executive agrees to the best of his ability and experience that he will loyally and conscientiously perform all of the duties and obligations commensurate with his position as may be reasonably required of and from Executive pursuant to the terms hereof. During the term of Executive’s employment by the Company (the “Employment Term”), Executive further agrees that he will devote all of his working time and attention to the business of the Company. Nothing in this Agreement will prevent Executive from accepting speaking or presentation engagements in exchange for honoraria or from serving on boards of charitable organizations so long as such engagements do not interfere with Executive’s ability to fulfill his obligations under this Agreement. In addition, with the prior consent of the Board, Executive shall be permitted to serve on the board of directors of one (1) for-profit entity where the Board determines that such board membership is complementary and useful to Executive’s performance of services to the Company and provided that such board

service does not substantially interfere with Executive’s performance of services to the Company. To the extent consistent with the terms of this Agreement, Executive will comply with and be bound by the Company’s operating policies, procedures and practices from time to time in effect during the term of Executive’s employment.

2. At-Will Employment. The Company and Executive acknowledge that Executive’s employment is and shall continue to be at-will, as defined under applicable law, and that Executive’s employment with the Company may be terminated by either party at any time for any or no reason. If Executive’s employment terminates for any reason, Executive shall not be entitled to any payments, benefits, damages, award or compensation other than as provided in this Agreement. The rights and duties created by this Section 2 may not be modified in any way except by a written agreement executed by a duly authorized member of the Board and Executive.

3. Compensation. For the duties and services to be performed by Executive hereunder, the Company shall pay Executive, and Executive agrees to accept, the compensation described below in this Section 3

(a) Salary. Executive shall receive an annual salary of one million dollars ($1,000,000) (as may be adjusted from time to time, the “Base Salary”). Executive’s Base Salary will be payable pursuant to the Company’s normal payroll practices. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board shall, no less frequently than annually, review and may adjust Executive’s Base Salary from time to time.

(i) For the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on December 31, 2011, Executive shall receive a bonus equal to 150% of the portion of the Base Salary payable to Executive for such period.

(ii) Effective January 1, 2012, in addition to the Base Salary, Executive will be eligible for an annual performance bonus under the terms of the Company’s Executive Incentive Plan, or a successor or alternate plan of the Company in a target amount of 150% of the Base Salary, to be payable upon achievement of 100% or more of the performance goals and objectives to be determined by the Board (as may be adjusted from time to time, the “Annual Bonus”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board shall be entitled to, no less frequently than annually, review and may adjust Executive’s Annual Bonus percentage from time to time.

For purposes of calculating Executive’s obligation to return a portion of the Cash Sign-On Bonus, Executive will be credited for any income and employment tax withholdings applicable to the returned payment.

(ii) Sign-On RSUs On the Effective Date, Executive shall be granted 717,000 restricted stock units (the “Sign-On RSUs”), which shall vest in three (3) substantially equal annual installments from the date of grant based on Executive’s continued employment with the Company through each such vesting date.

Except as provided herein, such Sign-On Performance RSUs will be subject to the provisions of the Company’s 2004 Equity Incentive Plan and the applicable form of restricted stock unit agreement thereunder.

(v) Sign-On Stock Option. On the Effective Date,, Executive shall be granted non-qualified stock options to purchase an aggregate of 1,847,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Sign-On Stock Option”).

Except as provided herein, such Sign-On Stock Option will be subject to the provisions of the Company’s 2004 Equity Incentive Plan and the applicable form of stock option agreement thereunder.

(vi) Sign-On Performance Stock Option. On the Effective Date, Executive shall be granted non-qualified stock options to purchase an aggregate of 739,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Sign-On Performance Stock Option”). The Sign-On Performance Stock Option shall have a per share exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, and the term of the Sign-On Performance Stock Option shall be seven (7) years, subject to earlier expiration in the event of the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company.

Executive shall be eligible for vacation and sick leave in accordance with the policies in effect during the term of this Agreement. Executive shall also be entitled to

the Company’s relocation benefits that are applicable to other senior executive officers, provided, however, that if (i) during the Employment Term Executive sells his principal residence in Raleigh, North Carolina, to an unrelated, third party in a reasonable, bona fide sale within twelve (12) months after the Effective Date, and (ii) at least thirty (30) days before the closing of such sale, Executive provides the Board of Directors with documentation and other information detailing the specifics of such sale (including, but not limited to, the sales price) and Executive’s original purchase price of such principal residence, the Company agrees to (x) pay Executive the difference, if any, between Executive’s original purchase price of such principal residence and Executive’s sales price of such principal residence, and (y) pay as additional tax withholding remitted to the appropriate taxing authority or authorities, an amount or amounts calculated to pay any income and employment taxes due as a result from the Company’s payment of such difference plus the taxes on such difference (such amount or amounts shall be calculated by the Company on a fully grossed-up basis to place Executive in the same after-tax position as if the Company’s payment of such difference and any taxes on such difference were not subject to such taxes). If the Executive is unable to sell such principal residence during the twelve (12) month period specified above, at the end of such period the Company agrees (i) to purchase the residence for its fair market value and (ii) provide the additional benefits with respect to such sale specified in items (x) and (y) of the immediately preceding sentence.

The Company shall also pay Executive an amount calculated to pay any income and employment taxes imposed on Executive as a result of the payment by the Company on Executive’s behalf for such welfare benefits. Such tax payment shall be calculated to place Executive in the same after-tax position as if no such taxes had been imposed and shall be paid to Executive no later than the end of the calendar year following the calendar year in which such related taxes are remitted to the appropriate tax authorities.

(c) Other Termination. If Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated for any reason other than a Covered Termination, Executive will receive payment(s) for all earned but unpaid Base Salary plus all other amounts to which Executive is entitled under any compensation plan or practice of the Company in effect on the Date of Termination.

(a) “Cause” for Executive’s termination shall mean (i) Executive’s repeated failure to perform assigned duties after being notified in writing of such failure with an opportunity to correct, or (ii) if Executive commits or participates in a willful act of embezzlement, fraud, misappropriation or dishonesty. For purposes of this provision, no act or failure to act, on Executive’s part, shall be considered “willful” unless it is done, or omitted to be done, by Executive in bad faith or without reasonable belief that Executive’s action or omission was in the best interests of the Company. Any act, or failure to act, based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board or based upon the advice of counsel for the Company shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by Executive in good faith and in the best interests of the Company.

In addition, a Change of Control shall be deemed to have occurred if (i) any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing more than 50% of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities; (ii) in any two-year period, individuals who were members of the Board at the beginning of such period plus each new director whose election or nomination for election was approved by at least two-thirds of the directors in office immediately prior to such election or nomination, cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board, (iii) a majority of the members of the Board in office prior to the happening of any event and who are still in office after such event, determines in its sole discretion within one year after such event, that as a result of such event there has been a Change of Control, (iv) there is consummated a merger or consolidation of the Company or subsidiary thereof with or into any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the holders of the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto holding securities which represent immediately after such merger or

consolidation more than 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of either the Company or the other entity which survives such merger or consolidation or the parent of the entity which survives such merger or consolidation, or (v) the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company and such plan of complete liquidation of the Company is consummated or there is consummated the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, other than a sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to an entity, at least 80% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of which are owned by persons in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the Company immediately prior to such sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing definition, “Change of Control” for purposes of this Agreement, shall exclude the acquisition of securities representing more than 20% of the combined voting power of the Company by the Company, any of its wholly owned subsidiaries, or any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities of the Company under an employee benefit plan now or hereafter established by the Company. As used herein, the term “beneficial owner” shall have the same meaning as under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, and related case law.

(d) “Constructive Termination” shall mean Executive’s resignation from the Company for Good Reason that constitutes a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the Department of Treasury regulations and other guidance promulgated thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a resignation shall not constitute a “Constructive Termination” unless the condition constituting Good Reason that gives rise to such resignation continues more than thirty (30) days following Executive’s written notice of such condition provided to the Board within ninety (90) days of an occurrence of such condition.

(e) “Covered Termination” means Executive’s Involuntary Termination Without Cause or Constructive Termination.

(f) “Disability” shall mean Executive’s absence from Executive’s duties with the Company on a full-time basis for 180 days during any consecutive twelve-month period as a result of incapacity due to mental or physical illness as determined by a physician selected by the Company and acceptable to Executive or by the company which administers the Company’s long-term disability plan in which Executive is eligible to participate.

(g) “Good Reason” shall mean (i) a material diminution in Executive’s Base Salary or Annual Bonus opportunity; (ii) a material diminution in Executive’s authority, duties, or responsibilities or a change in the Executive’s position as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company; (iii) a requirement imposed by the Company that Executive report to a corporate officer or employee instead of reporting directly to the Board; or (iv) any other action or inaction that constitutes a material breach by the Company of this Agreement.

(h) “Involuntary Termination Without Cause” means Executive’s dismissal or discharge other than for Cause that constitutes a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the Department of Treasury regulations and other guidance promulgated thereunder. The termination of Executive’s employment as a result of Executive’s death or Disability shall not constitute an Involuntary Termination Without Cause.

(i) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the benefits provided by this Agreement, together with all other payments and the value of any benefits received or to be received by Executive (the “Payments”), constitute “parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code), and, but for this Section 7(a)(i), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then the Payments shall be made to Executive either (i) in full or (ii) as to such lesser amount as which would result in no portion of the Payments being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the Excise Tax, results in the receipt by Executive on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payments may be subject to the Excise Tax. Unless Executive shall have given prior written notice specifying a different order to the Company to effectuate any reduction contemplated by the preceding sentence, the Company shall reduce or eliminate the Payments by first reducing or eliminating cash payments and then by reducing those payments or benefits which are not payable in cash, in each case in reverse order beginning with payments or benefits which are to be paid the farthest in time from the Determination (as hereinafter defined). Any notice given by Executive pursuant to the preceding sentence shall take precedence over the provisions of any other plan, arrangement or agreement governing Executive’s rights and entitlements to any benefits or compensation.

(ii) Unless the Company and Executive otherwise agree in writing, an initial determination as to whether the Payments shall be reduced and the amount of such reduction shall be made, at the Company’s expense, by an accounting firm that the Company selects (the “Accounting Firm”). The Accounting Firm shall provide its determination (the “Determination”), together with detailed supporting calculations and documentation, to the Company and Executive within twenty (20) days of the Date of Termination, if applicable, or such other time as requested by the Company or by Executive (provided Executive reasonably believes that any of the Payments may be subject to the Excise Tax). Within ten (10) days of the delivery of the Determination to Executive, Executive shall have the right to dispute the Determination (the “Dispute”). If there is no Dispute, the Determination shall be binding, final and conclusive upon the Company and Executive.

(b) Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Agreement, if Executive is deemed by the Company at the time of Executive’s Date of Termination to be a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, to the extent delayed commencement of any portion of the benefits to which Executive is entitled under this Agreement is required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such portion of Executive’s benefits shall not be provided to Executive prior to the earlier of (a) the expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of Executive’s “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code) or (b) the date of Executive’s death. Upon the expiration of the applicable period under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, all payments deferred pursuant to this Section 7(b) shall be paid in a lump sum to Executive (plus interest earned on any such amounts calculated based on the then applicable short-term Applicable Federal Rate for federal tax purposes), and any remaining payments due under the Agreement shall be paid as otherwise provided herein.

8. Confidentiality Agreement. Executive has signed a Proprietary Information and Invention Assignment Agreement in a form acceptable to the Company that covers protection of the Company’s proprietary information and assignment of inventions (the “Confidentiality Agreement”). Executive hereby represents and warrants to the Company that Executive has complied with all obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement and agrees to continue to abide by the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement and further agrees that the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement shall survive any termination of this Agreement or of Executive’s employment relationship with the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of this Section 8, the Executive shall be permitted to retain copies of this Agreement, and any documentation related to his compensation benefits and equity rights arising under or contemplated by this Agreement.

(h) Indemnification. For nine years following the Date of Termination (or such longer period as may be provided under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws) Executive shall continue to be indemnified under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws at least to the same extent as prior to the Date of Termination, and Executive shall be covered by the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, the fiduciary liability insurance and the professional liability insurance policies that are the same as, or provide coverage at least equivalent to, those the Company carried prior to the Date of Termination.

(i) No Assignment of Benefits. The rights of any person to payments or benefits under this Agreement shall not be made subject to option or assignment, either by voluntary or involuntary assignment or by operation of law, including (without limitation) bankruptcy, garnishment, attachment or other creditor’s process, and any action in violation of this subsection shall be void.

(l) Expenses (Including Attorneys’ Fees). If any dispute should arise under this Agreement involving an effort by Executive to protect, enforce or secure rights or benefits claimed by Executive hereunder, the Company shall pay (promptly upon demand by Executive accompanied by reasonable evidence of incurrence) all reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by Executive in connection with such dispute if Executive should prevail in such dispute. For this purpose, Executive shall be considered to prevail if the dispute is settled in a fashion that provides for a payment of cash or property to Executive or other relief requested by Executive, or if an arbitral tribunal having jurisdiction shall make a final, non-appealable determination that Executive is entitled to a payment of cash or property or other relief requested by Executive.

(m) Certain Lenovo Equity Compensation Matters. If and to the extent any dispute should arise between Executive and Lenovo Group Limited (“Lenovo”) regarding Lenovo’s denial of Executive’s rights to exercise, receive or retain any vested and exercisable stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other equity awards with respect to Lenovo then held by Executive at the date of termination of his employment with Lenovo by reason of his employment by the Company, the Company shall reimburse the reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Executive in connection with such dispute provided that Executive acts in good faith in defending and/or prosecuting the claims that are the subject of such dispute.
