Neoware Senior Officer Bonus Plan for fiscal year 2006. On January 25, 2006, the Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of the Compensation and Stock Option Committee (the "Compensation Committee") of the Board of Directors of Neoware, Inc. (the "Company"), approved the Neoware Senior Officer Bonus Plan (the "Plan"), a senior officer compensation plan designed to attract, retain and reward the Company's executive and other senior officers based on the achievement of key business objectives while maintaining alignment of the senior officers' interests with those of the Company's stockholders. Participants eligible under the Plan are the executive and other senior officers, as defined in the Plan. Under the Plan, bonuses are measured on the achievement of specific performance targets established by the Compensation Committee based on one or more of the following criteria chosen by the Committee: revenues; earnings per share; operating income; earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; net income; working capital; and gross profit. A participant's bonus is determined by multiplying the participant's base salary by his or her annual bonus percentage. Each year, the Compensation Committee selects the criteria upon which to base the bonus plan and the specific performance targets for the selected performance criteria for the year based on the Company's budget. A target bonus expressed as a percentage of each participant's base salary is then established by the Compensation Committee based on the participant's position. After the eligible bonus percentage has been established for each participant, the Compensation Committee may, at its discretion, adjust the participant's bonus based upon both the Company's financial performance and the participant's individual performance. Each participant's bonus percentage may be increased or decreased at the discretion of the Compensation Committee based upon his or her individual performance and the achievement of individual, functional area and departmental objectives. On January 25, 2006, the Compensation Committee established performance targets for the performance criteria chosen for the year. The Committee selected operating income as the performance criteria for determining fiscal year 2006 bonuses. The Compensation Committee also approved the 2006 target bonus percentages for each executive officers, as follows: Michael Kantrowitz, President and Chief Executive Officer, 75%; Eric Rubino, Chief Operating Officer, 50%; Keith Schneck, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, 50%; Roy Zatcoff, Executive Vice President, 50%; Peter Bolton, Executive Vice President, 15%; and Wei Ching, Executive Vice President, 50%. In addition to the above potential bonuses for 2006, the Company's executives are also eligible to receive additional bonuses based on the achievement of increased performance targets for operating income, resulting in additional bonuses equal to up to 100% of the executive's bonus, as determined by the Compensation Committee. The grant of the additional bonuses will be based upon the achievement of the increased operating income target, individual goals for 2006 and the individual's contribution to the Company's financial performance. Notwithstanding the Plan provisions described above, the Compensation Committee, at its sole discretion, may modify or change the Plan at any time, including, but not limited to, revising performance targets, bonus multipliers, strategic goals and objectives and actual bonus payments. The Compensation Committee has the sole discretion to determine (i) whether Company performance targets have been achieved, (ii) whether individual goals and objectives have been achieved and (iii) the amount of any adjustments to a participant's assigned target percentage based on items (i) and (ii) above or such other criteria deemed appropriate by the Compensation Committee.

("Neoware", or the "Company") is designed to motivate and reward the senior officers of the Company for their contribution to the achievement of key business objectives by Neoware and to support Neoware's efforts in attracting, retaining and rewarding senior officers, while aligning the interests of the senior officers with shareholder expectations. ELIGIBILITY; PARTIAL YEAR PAYMENT The Chief Executive Officer and the Senior Officers (as defined below) of Neoware ("Participants") are eligible to participate in the Plan. Employees who are hired by Neoware or are promoted or reclassified as a Senior Officer during a Plan year will be eligible for a pro-rated bonus. In order to be eligible to receive a bonus, the individual must be employed by Neoware at the time of payment. For purposes of the Plan, a Senior Officer is defined as any employee who is deemed by the Board of Directors to be an "executive officer" under Item 401(b) of Regulation S-K of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as well as other senior officers determined by the Chief Executive Officer and approved by the Compensation and Stock Option Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Compensation Committee"). BONUS PERIOD The Plan will be effective from July 1, 2005 to June 30, 2006 and will automatically renew upon the anniversary date of the Plan unless terminated by the Compensation Committee or the Board of Directors of Neoware. Bonuses are based upon Neoware's financial performance and employee individual performance, as set forth herein, during the applicable bonus period. EXECUTIVE BONUS PLAN PAYMENT Although every effort will be made to process payments on a timely basis, there is no guaranteed payment date associated with this Plan. Payments will be made only after financial results have been reported and recommendations have been submitted to and approved by the Compensation Committee. PERFORMANCE AND INDIVIDUAL TARGETS Participants will be eligible for an annual cash incentive bonus based on the achievement of predetermined goals and also based upon individual performance, as set forth below. For the achievement of predetermined goals, participants will have an assigned target equal to a specific percentage of salary earned during the Plan year. The annual target is based on the Participant's position in the Company. The target percentages can be increased or decreased at the discretion of the Compensation Committee based upon the individual Participant's performance, as set forth herein. The achievement of individual Participant achievement goals can result in the individual's target percentage being increased or decreased, as discussed below. FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE All bonuses will be measured upon the achievement of specific performance targets based on one or more of the following criteria: o Revenues o Earnings per share o Operating income o Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization o Net income o Working capital o Gross profit Financial results higher or lower than the performance targets will result in an adjustment up or down of the performance target based on evaluation by the Compensation Committee. The performance target is then multiplied by the Participant's assigned target percentage to determine the eligible bonus percentage. INDIVIDUAL PARTICIPANT ACHIEVEMENT Once the target percentage has been assigned to a Participant, the Compensation Committee will have discretion to adjust the bonus for individual Participants up or down based upon job performance and achievement of individual, functional area and departmental objectives. APPROVALS The actual bonus payment for all participants will be reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN Notwithstanding the above, the Compensation Committee may modify or change this Plan or its implementation at any time, including, but not limited to, revising performance targets, bonus multipliers, strategic goals and objectives and actual bonus payments. The Compensation Committee shall have the sole discretion to determine (i) whether performance targets have been achieved, (ii) whether individual goals and objectives have been achieved, and (iii) the amount of any adjustments to a Participant's assigned target percentage based on items (i) and (ii) above and such other criteria deemed appropriate by the Compensation Committee. As a condition to participation, each Participant will acknowledge that he or she has reviewed and understood this Plan, that the bonuses under the Plan are discretionary and that no bonus will be payable unless and until the actual amount of the bonus payment is approved by the Compensation Committee. -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
