<PAGE>

3.3.3 Other Termination Benefit Entitlements. Except as

(b) A severance payment, less all applicable deductions,
equal
to (i) one times the Executive's annual base salary in effect as
of
the Termination Date plus (ii) an amount equal to the
Executive's
bonus target in effect for the fiscal year in which the
Termination
Date falls, or if a bonus target has not yet been established,
an
amount equal to 1.25 times the Executive's bonus target for
the
previous fiscal year.
(c) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in any
applicable award agreement(s), continued vesting of any unvested
UGS
stock options, other UGS stock awards, and EDS incentive plan
awards
granted as of the Termination Date in accordance with the
vesting
schedules set forth in the applicable award agreement(s) between
the
Executive and UGS and/or EDS. This Agreement shall be deemed
to
amend any employee award agreement to the extent required to
comply
with this Section 3.3.3(c).
(d) A cash payment to pay for twelve (12) months of (i)
Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985
("COBRA")
continuation health coverage for the Executive and his family,

<PAGE>

and

household goods shipping policies for employees if within
twelve
(12) months of termination under this Section 3.3.3,
Executive
relocates to a new work location which is more than 35 miles
from
his primary work location on the Termination Date.
(f) Reimbursement not to exceed $25,000 for outplacement
services provided by an outplacement service acceptable to
UGS
within twelve (12) months of termination under this Section
3.3.3.
3.4. Termination as a Result of a Change of Control. UGS
recognizes that
the continuing possibility of a Change of Control of UGS is
unsettling to
Executives of the Company. Therefore, the arrangements set forth
below are being
made to help assure a continuing dedication by Executive to his
duties to the
Company, notwithstanding the occurrence or potential occurrence
of a Change in
Control. In particular, UGS believes it important, should the
Company receive
proposals or inquiries from third parties with respect to its
future, to enable
Executive, without being influenced by uncertainties of his own
situation, to
assess and advise the Company whether such proposals would be in
the best
interests of the Company and its shareholders and to take such
other action
regarding such proposals as the Company might determine to be
appropriate.
Accordingly, if between effective date (the "Change of Control
Date") of a
Change of Control (as defined below) and 24 months following the
Change of
Control Date, UGS gives notice under Section 3.1 that this
Agreement will not be
extended for reasons other than Cause, gives notice of
termination under Section
3.2.2, or if Executive terminates for Good Reason, UGS shall
provide the
Executive with the benefits as set forth below in this Section
3.4.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if a
Change in Control
occurs and if the Executive's employment with the Company or any
of its
subsidiaries is terminated by the Company less than six months
prior to the date
on which the Change in Control occurs, and if it is demonstrated
by the
Executive that such termination of employment by the Company (i)
was at the
request of a third party which has taken steps reasonably
calculated to result
in or effect the Change in Control or (ii) otherwise arose in
connection with or
in anticipation of the Change in Control, then for all purposes
of this
Agreement, such termination of employment shall be deemed to
have occurred
within two years following such Change in Control provided that
the obligations
contained in Section 3.1 to deliver a notice of termination
shall not apply.
Benefits to which Executive shall be entitled are:
3.4.1 Full base salary and any bonus or long term incentive
compensation to which the Executive is entitled through the
Termination
Date.
-6-
<PAGE>
3.4.2 A severance payment, less all applicable deductions, equal
to
(i) two times the Executive's annual base salary in effect as of
the
Termination Date plus (ii) an amount equal to two times the
Executive's
bonus target in effect for the fiscal year in which the
Termination Date
falls, or if a bonus target has not yet been established, an
amount equal
to two times the Executive's bonus target for the previous
fiscal year.
3.4.3 Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in any
applicable award agreement(s), continued vesting of any unvested
UGS stock
options, other UGS stock awards, and EDS Incentive Plan awards
granted as
of the Termination Date in accordance with the vesting schedules
set forth
in the applicable award agreement(s) between the Executive and
UGS and/or
EDS. This Agreement shall be deemed to amend any employee award
agreement
to the extent required to comply with this Section 3.4.3.
3.4.4 A cash payment to pay for twelve (12) months of (i)
Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985
("COBRA")
continuation health coverage for the Executive and his family,
(ii)
premiums for basic employee life insurance coverage ($50,000),
and (iii)
premiums for long term disability insurance providing income
replacement
of $7,000 per month.
3.4.5 Reimbursement not to exceed $75,000 of the costs of
existing
home sale (including payment of any real estate sales commission
up to six
percent of the home sale price) and packing and shipping
expenses in
accordance with Company's then-existing household goods shipping
politics
for employees if within twelve (12) months of termination under
this
Section 3.4, Executive relocates to a new work location which is
more than
35 miles from his primary work location on the Termination
Date.
3.4.6 Reimbursement not to exceed $25,000 for outplacement
services
provided by an outplacement service acceptable to UGS within
twelve (12)
months of termination under this Section 3.4.
3.5. Change of Control Conditions Precedent and Definition.
No
compensation shall be payable under Section 3.4 unless and until
(a) there shall
have been a Change of Control in UGS while the Executive is
still an employee of
UGS or was an employee within six (6) months of the Change of
Control Date if
the second to the last sentence of Section 3.4 applies and (b)
the Executive's
employment by the Company thereafter shall have been terminated
in accordance
with Sections 3.1,
