A.            My employment with Analysts International will terminate as of the close of business on February 19, 2008. Provided I perform all of my obligations under this Agreement and do not revoke this Agreement within the fifteen day revocation period below, I will receive “Special Consideration” from Analysts International in the form of:

i.   a single lump sum severance payment equal to one year’s salary (at my current rate of pay and subject to normal withholdings);

2

ii.   a bonus of $25,000, equivalent to the fourth quarter management incentive bonus opportunity, which the Company will pay whether or not I actually qualify for such bonus;

iii.   a $20,000 stay bonus if, in the reasonable judgment of the Company’s CEO, I satisfactorily perform the transition of my duties through February 19, 2008;

iv.   if I choose to extend my employment through February 29, 2008, a $25,000 “extra effort” bonus if in the reasonable judgment and sole discretion of the Company’s CEO, I have exerted all reasonable efforts to enable the filing of the Company’s Form 10-K for fiscal year 2007 with the SEC on or before February 29, 2008 and such Form 10-K is signed by me in my capacity as the Company’s CFO (it being understood, however, that nothing herein creates any obligation or expectation that I act in any way that is inconsistent with, or would require me to violate, any applicable code of professional conduct, and further understood that if, in the reasonable judgment of both me and the Company’s CEO, it would be imprudent or inadvisable to file the Form 10-K on or before February 29, 2008, but in the CEO’s reasonable judgment and sole discretion I have made every reasonable effort to accomplish the filing by such date, this payment will nevertheless be made);

v.   an additional payment in the amount of $27,000.00, to compensate me for the loss of use of the leased vehicle the Company has previously provided for me;

vi.   payment of 100% of the monthly premiums for health, dental and life insurance coverage through February 19, 2009 or until I become eligible for comparable health, dental, and life insurance through another employer, whichever occurs sooner;

vii.   twelve months of outplacement services (which may begin any time after execution and delivery of this agreement and expiration of the revocation period set forth herein) in accordance with the Company’s arrangement with Lee Hecht Harrison, LLC; and

viii.   reimbursement of my out-of-pocket expenses in becoming recertified as a public accountant, including the cost of obtaining CPE credits, in an amount not to exceed $5,000.00.

For the avoidance of doubt, I will be eligible to receive each of the items of the Special Consideration set forth in items i-iii and v-viii if I continue my employment through February 19, 2008, perform all of my obligations under this Agreement with respect to each such item, do not revoke this Agreement within the fifteen day revocation period, and the remaining terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement have been met.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, I will be eligible to receive the Special Consideration set for in item iv above only if I have met and satisfied the terms and conditions of such item iv.

B.            My Special Consideration is contingent upon me signing and not revoking this Agreement as provided below. I understand and acknowledge that the Special Consideration is in addition to anything of value that I would be entitled to receive from Analysts International if I did not sign this Agreement or if I revoked this Agreement.

C.            In exchange for the Special Consideration, I give up, settle and release all of My Claims and I agree to abide by this Agreement in all respects.  I understand and agree that through this release I am extinguishing all of My Claims occurring up to the date on which I sign this Agreement.  The Special Consideration that I am receiving is a fair compromise for my undertakings in this Agreement.

D.            Notwithstanding the foregoing, I understand that nothing contained in this Agreement purports to limit any right I may have to file a charge with Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or other administrative agency or to participate in an investigation or proceeding conducted by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or other investigative agency. This Agreement does, however, waive and release any right to recover monetary damages resulting from such investigation or litigation.

3

E.            Likewise, in exchange for my release of My Claims and other consideration, you give up, settle and release all of Your Claims and you agree to abide by this Agreement in all respects.  You understand and agree that through this release you are extinguishing all of Your Claims occurring up to the date on which you sign this Agreement

F.            For the avoidance of doubt, the Company acknowledges that nothing in this Agreement is intended to diminish or alter any rights I may have under the Company’s Restated Special Executive Retirement Plan as adopted December 27, 2006 and amended September 1, 2007 (the “Plan”), which rights are as stated in the Plan.  The Company has advised me that as of December 29, 2007 the accrued balance in my deferred compensation account is $121,000.  Between December 30, 2007 and the distribution of my deferred compensation, the Company acknowledges that my balance will continue to accumulate and accrue interest in accordance with the terms of the Plan as administered under the direction of the Company’s Board of Directors.  I will be paid the full amount in my deferred compensation account within ten (10) business days of when such payment is allowed under section 409A ofthe Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

G.            To the extent I am presently covered by the Company’s D&O policies for acts or omissions that occurred within the scope of my employment, the Company agrees that it will continue to maintain reasonable levels of such coverage for not less than two (2) years after the termination of my employment.

III. No Admission of Liability.  Even though Analysts International will provide Special Consideration for me to settle and release My Claims and to otherwise abide by this Agreement, the Company does not admit that it is responsible or legally obligated to me.  In fact, the Company denies that it is responsible or legally obligated to me for My Claims, denies that it engaged in any unlawful or improper conduct toward me, and denies that it treated me unfairly or acted wrongfully.

IV.  Acknowledgement of Risk of Change in Facts or Law.  I acknowledge that the facts and the law material to this Agreement may turn out to be different from or contrary to my present belief, and I assume the risk that such differences may arise.  I acknowledge and represent that I have not relied on any representations of the Company or the Company’s counsel in entering into this Agreement.  Once the fifteen day revocation period below has expired, I intend that the release granted herein shall be final, complete, irrevocable and binding in all events and circumstances whatsoever.

V. Advice to Consult with an Attorney.  I understand and acknowledge that I am hereby being advised by the Company to consult with an attorney prior to signing this Agreement.  My decision whether to sign this Agreement is my own voluntary decision made with full knowledge that the Company has advised me to consult with an attorney.

VI. Period to Consider this Agreement.  I understand that I have 45 days from the day that I receive this Agreement (not counting the day upon which I receive it), or through March 5, 2008, or whichever is later, to consider whether I wish to sign this Agreement.  I understand Analysts International will accept this Agreement and pay to me the Special Consideration described above if I sign and return this Agreement and if I do not revoke this Agreement as provided below.  I understand that if I sign this Agreement on or before March 5, 2008, or choose to forego the advice of legal counsel, I do so freely and knowingly, and I waive any and all further claims that such action or actions would affect the validity of this Agreement.  I understand that any changes to this Agreement, whether material or not material, do not restart the period of time I have to consider whether or not to sign this Agreement.

If I elect not to execute and return this Agreement on or before March 5, 2008, I further understand that the offer contained herein shall terminate and Analysts International shall be under no obligation to provide the severance compensation and the benefits provided herein.

4

VII. My Right to Revoke this Agreement.  I understand that I may revoke this Agreement at any time within fifteen days after I sign it, not counting the day upon which I sign it.  This Agreement will not become effective or enforceable unless and until the fifteen-day revocation period has expired without my revoking it.  I understand that if I rescind or revoke this Agreement, all of Analysts International’s obligations to me under this Agreement will immediately cease and terminate, and Analysts International will owe me no amounts hereunder.  If I do not revoke or rescind this Agreement within said fifteen-day period, I understand that the Company will pay the Special Consideration to me on my termination date or when that fifteen-day period expires, whichever is later.

VIII. Procedure for Accepting or Revoking this Agreement. To accept the terms of this Agreement, I must deliver the Agreement, after I have signed and dated it, to Analysts International by hand or by certified mail, return receipt requested, on or before March 5, 2008.  To revoke my acceptance, I must deliver a written, signed statement that I revoke my acceptance to Analysts International by hand or by certified mail within the fifteen-day revocation period.  All certified mailings and hand deliveries must be made to Analysts International at the following address:

Analysts International Announces New Plan to

Restore the Company to Profitability

Strategic Investments, Back-Office Consolidations and Key Management Changes

to Create Efficiencies Across the Organization

Conference Call at 10 a.m. CST Tomorrow

Minneapolis – Jan. 22, 2008 –Analysts International (Nasdaq: ANLY), a diversified IT services company, has announced its new plan, designed to restore the Company to profitability and increase shareholder value.  This plan is the result of four months of assessment of the Company and was developed under the direction of Elmer Baldwin, the Company’s new president and CEO and approved by the Board of Directors.

The objectives of the plan include increasing revenue, improving margins and adding personnel in sales and recruiting in higher-margin businesses; expanding business and service offerings in key geographic markets; and reducing corporate expenses through consolidation of back-office and other corporate overhead functions.  Other key initiatives will include exiting non-strategic, non-core business lines and increasing efficiency through process and productivity improvements.

“We are very serious about removing corporate costs and improving overall performance.  Our number one objective is to increase shareholder value,” stated Baldwin.  “Our highest priority is changing how we run this business and creating efficiencies across the organization in order to restore profitability.  The first step in our plan is to permanently remove certain costs so that the Company achieves sustainable profitability.”

To support the plan, Analysts International is implementing the following measures:

·   Adding headcount in key functional areas, including sales, recruiting, project management and consulting, in order to respond to customer demand.

·   Expanding its solutions services by launching project-oriented IT consulting practices in its largest U.S. markets, most notably Minnesota, Michigan, Colorado and Kentucky; in 2009 it plans to expand in at least five additional markets.

·   Exiting businesses that are non-core and non-strategic to its new plan and aligning the Company to focus on its core, IT-related competencies and clients.

·   Reducing operating expenses through consolidation of back-office administrative and other corporate overhead functions.

·   Investing in its own information technology systems in order to simplify, streamline and automate business processes.

“We’re rolling out a plan that strategically realigns the Analysts International team to focus on our strong geographic markets with our best staffing and technology service capabilities,” said Baldwin.  “Specific measures of our plan also include management team changes that are in effect immediately.”

Management Changes

To support the strategic initiatives, new senior management appointments include: Robert Woods, Senior Vice President General Counsel and Secretary; Michael Vacanti, Vice President - Professional Services Central Region; Craig Andrie, Vice President - Professional Services Western Region; and Brittany McKinney, Vice President Planning and Operations.  New management bios are available on Analysts International’s Web site, www.analysts.com.

“We’ve adopted an aggressive approach to installing a proven, talented and experienced management team capable of executing our plan,” stated Baldwin.  “We have increased the probability of success of our new plan by attracting individuals who have the expertise in returning companies to profitability.”

As part of the change in senior leadership, David Steichen, CFO, and Colleen Davenport, Legal Counsel, are leaving Analysts International.  Steichen has agreed to remain with the Company through the year-end 2007 audit and while Analysts International executes its search for a new CFO.  Davenport’s previously announced departure will become effective in the first quarter of 2008.  Steichen and Davenport are working with management to implement the new plan, and will assist with the transition of their responsibilities.

Financial Impact

As a result of the new plan and other factors, Analysts International announced that it is likely to take a one-time charge in the fourth quarter of 2007 for the impairment of goodwill and other tangible and intangible assets.  The Company will complete the process of evaluation prior to releasing fourth-quarter 2007 financial results, and believes an impairment charge of up to $17 million could be possible.

The Company also announced a permanent reduction of approximately 70 corporate overhead positions eliminated during the fourth quarter of 2007 and the first half of 2008.  Additional financial impact from the plan is:

·   One-time special charges for severance-related and real estate-related consolidation or closing costs of approximately $2.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2007 and between $1.2 million and $1.5 million in the first half of 2008, with a majority of the 2008 charges occurring in the first quarter.

·   Additional transition costs of between $1.0 million and $1.5 million related to the costs of outside services and the cost to recruit and transition personnel.

·   Capital expenditures in 2008 of between $2.0 million to $3.0 million to support investments in technology and systems upgrades.

“With the implementation of our plan, we believe that we have positioned the Company for future success and profitability,” said Baldwin.  “Through our back-office consolidation and cost-management initiatives we anticipate a $4 million benefit in 2008 and an annualized benefit of $6 million thereafter.  Coupled with our strategic investments, further cost management and focus on our key, higher margin businesses we believe we will restore profitability in the second half of 2008.  I look forward to updating our investors on our progress as we continue to implement our plan to deliver a new Analysts International focused on creating shareholder value.”
