CUSIP NO. 00847J105
 
The following constitutes Amendment No. 5 (“Amendment No. 5”) to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned.  This Amendment No. 5 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth.
 
Item 2 is hereby amended to add the following:
 
In connection with the Settlement Agreement described and defined in Item 4, Value and Opportunity Master Fund (f/k/a Starboard Value and Opportunity Master Fund Ltd.) has withdrawn its nominations of Messrs. Mutch, Zierick and Tepedino for election at the 2008 Annual Meeting.  Accordingly, Messrs. Mutch, Zierick and Tepedino are no longer members of the Section 13(d) group and shall cease to be Reporting Persons immediately after the filing of this Amendment No. 5 to the Schedule 13D.  The remaining Reporting Persons will continue filing as a group statements on Schedule 13D with respect to their beneficial ownership of securities of the Issuer to the extent required by applicable law.
 
Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:
 
On March 11, 2009, the Ramius Group (as defined in the Settlement Agreement) and the Issuer entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”).  Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the Issuer agreed (i) to appoint Messrs. Tepedino and Mutch (Messrs. Tepedino and Mutch and any of their Replacement Directors, collectively, the “Ramius Directors”) to serve as directors of the Board, each in a Class to be determined by the Board, but in no event in the Class of directors whose terms expire at the 2010 annual meeting of shareholders of the Issuer (the “2010 Annual Meeting”), (ii) to nominate, recommend and solicit proxies in favor of the Ramius Directors for election to the Board at either the 2008 Annual Meeting or 2009 annual meeting of shareholders of the Issuer (the “2009 Annual Meeting”) in the same manner as for the Issuer’s other nominees up for election at such annual meeting, (iii) to use its commercially reasonable efforts to: (a) hold the 2008 Annual Meeting no later than March 31, 2009, (b) hold the 2009 Annual Meeting no later than September 30, 2009, and (c) hold the 2010 Annual Meeting no later than September 30, 2010, (iv) to not increase the size of the Board to more than nine directors at any time before the 2010 Annual Meeting, (v) that one of the Ramius Directors will be included as a member of any special committee that is established by the Board while the Ramius Directors are serving as directors of the Board, and (vi) to disband the Executive Committee of the Board no later than the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Board.
 
The Ramius Group agreed to vote in favor of the director nominees recommended to shareholders by the Board at the 2008 and 2009 Annual Meetings.
 
Under the Settlement Agreement, if either of the Ramius Directors leaves the Board before the 2010 Annual Meeting, the Ramius Group will be entitled to recommend replacement director(s) who will qualify as “independent” pursuant to NASDAQ listing standards, whose acceptance will not be unreasonably withheld.  However, if during the Standstill Period (as defined below), the total number of Shares held in the aggregate by the Ramius Group falls below an amount equal to 3% of the Shares then outstanding, one of the Ramius Directors shall tender to the Issuer an irrevocable resignation letter in a form satisfactory to the Issuer, pursuant to which he shall offer to resign from the Board.

SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
 
This Settlement Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of March 11, 2009, by and among Agilysys, Inc., an Ohio corporation (“Agilysys” or the “Company”), and each of the entities and natural persons listed on Exhibit A hereto (such entities and natural persons, collectively, the “Ramius Group” and each, individually, a “member” of the Ramius Group) which presently are or may be deemed to be members of a “group” with respect to the beneficial ownership of the common stock of the Company, no par value (the “Common Stock”), pursuant to Rule 13d-5 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
 
RECITALS:
 
WHEREAS, the Company and the Ramius Group have engaged in various discussions and communications concerning the Company’s business, financial performance and strategic plans;
 
WHEREAS, the Ramius Group duly submitted a nomination letter to the Company on June 20, 2008 (the “Nomination Letter”) nominating a slate of three (3) director candidates for election to the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) at the 2008 annual meeting of shareholders of the Company (including any adjournment or postponement thereof (the “2008 Annual Meeting”);
 
WHEREAS, on February 18, 2009, the Ramius Group filed a definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A, as amended (the “Ramius Proxy”), with the SEC related to the matters set forth in the Nomination Letter; and
 
WHEREAS, the Company and the members of the Ramius Group have determined to come to an agreement with respect to certain matters related to the 2008 Annual Meeting, the 2009 annual meeting of shareholders of the Company (the “2009 Annual Meeting”) and certain other matters, as provided in this Agreement.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:
 
1.      Board Matters; Board Appointments; 2008 Annual Meeting; 2009 Annual Meeting; 2010 Annual Meeting;
 
(a)           The Company hereby confirms that effective as of the execution of this Agreement two current members of the Board, other than R. Andrew Cueva, have resigned as members of the Board and that the Board has appointed Steve Tepedino and John Mutch to serve as directors of the Board, each in a Class to be determined by the Board, but in no event in the Class of directors whose terms expire at the 2010 annual meeting of shareholders of the Company (Steve Tepedino and John Mutch and any of their Replacement Directors, collectively, the “Ramius Directors”).
 
(b)           The Company agrees that the Ramius Directors shall be nominated for re-election, together with the other members of their respective Class, at either the 2008 Annual Meeting or the 2009 Annual Meeting, as the case may be, and that the Company will recommend, support and solicit proxies for the election of the Ramius Directors in the same manner as for the Company’s other nominees up for election at such annual meeting.
 

 
(c)           The Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) hold the 2008 Annual Meeting no later than March 31, 2009, (ii) hold the 2009 Annual Meeting no later than September 30, 2009, and (iii) hold the 2010 annual meeting of shareholders of the Company (the “2010 Annual Meeting”) no later than September 30, 2010.
 
(d)           The Company agrees that it will not increase the size of the Board to more than nine (9) directors at any time before the Company’s 2010 Annual Meeting.
 
(e)           The Company has disbanded the Special Committee of the Board formed to oversee an evaluation of the Company’s strategic alternatives.  The Company agrees that one of the Ramius Directors will be included as a member of any special committee that is established by the Board while the Ramius Directors are serving as directors of the Board.
 
(f)           The Company agrees to disband the Executive Committee of the Board no later than the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Board.
 
(g)           The Company agrees that from the date hereof up to and including the date of the 2010 Annual Meeting, the Company will not take any action to limit or restrict the rights of its shareholders by amending the Company’s Amended Code of Regulations or otherwise.
 
(h)           If either of the Ramius Directors leaves the Board (whether by resignation or otherwise) before the 2010 Annual Meeting, the Ramius Group will be entitled to recommend to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board replacement director(s) who will qualify as “independent” pursuant to NASDAQ listing standards.  The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will not unreasonably withhold acceptance of any replacement director(s) recommended by the Ramius Group; provided however, that it shall at all times act in accordance with its fiduciary duties. In the event the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not accept a replacement director(s) recommended by the Ramius Group, the Ramius Group will have the right to recommend additional replacement director(s) for consideration by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Upon the acceptance of a replacement director nominee by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Board will appoint such replacement director to the Board no later than five (5) business days after the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s recommendation of such replacement director (the “Replacement Director”).
 
(i)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 1(h), if, during the Standstill Period (as such term is defined below), the total number of shares of Common Stock held in the aggregate by the members of the Ramius Group falls below an amount equal to 3% of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding, one of Messrs. Mutch or Tepedino (or their Replacement Directors) shall tender to the Company an irrevocable resignation letter in a form satisfactory to the Company, pursuant to which he shall resign from the Board and the right of the Ramius Group to recommend a Replacement Director to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Messrs. Mutch or Tepedino (or their Replacement Directors) pursuant to Section 1(h) shall automatically terminate, provided, however, that nothing herein shall limit the ability of the Ramius Group to recommend a Replacement Director pursuant to Section 1(h) with respect to the remaining Ramius Director.  The Ramius Group has obtained the conditional resignation letters from the Ramius Directors necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Section 1(i) and agrees to provide one of the resignation letters to the Company when required by this Section 1(i).
 
2

 
(j)           Each member of the Ramius Group agrees that it will vote in favor of the Director nominees recommended to shareholders by the Company’s Board of Directors at the Company’s 2008 and 2009 Annual Meetings of Shareholders.  No member of the Ramius Group shall take any position, make any statement or take any action inconsistent with the foregoing.
