  Re: Letter Relating to Employment Terms

Dear Mr. Mansfield:

This letter is to confirm the terms of your employment with NetSuite Software (Asia Pacific) Pte. Ltd. (the “Company”). This letter supersedes all prior agreements relating to the terms of your employment, except for the Severance and Change of Control Agreement dated of even date herewith, between you and the Company (the “Severance Agreement”) and the Confidentiality and Invention Assignment Agreement dated of even date herewith, between you and the Company (the “Confidentiality Agreement”). The terms set forth below shall be effective as of July 1, 2007 (the “Effective Date”).

As you know, your position as President, Worldwide Sales and Distribution, with the Company requires, and will continue to require, you to travel extensively to such countries worldwide as may be reasonably necessary to respond to the business needs of the Company. All of your travel expenses must be incurred and submitted in accordance with the Company’s standard travel and expense policy, which may be amended from time to time, and shall be effective with respect to you, provided you are given advance notice of the changes before they become effective.

 

1. Title and Cash Compensation

Your title is, and shall remain, President, Worldwide Sales and Distribution. In your capacity as President, Worldwide Sales and Distribution, you will continue to report to the President & CEO. In this role, you will perform services for the Company but typically those services will be performed outside of Singapore and fro the benefit of one of the companies affiliated with the Company. As of the Effective Date, your monthly base salary is US$16.666.67 per month or US$200,000 on an annualized basis. The Company shall pay your monthly base salary to a bank account designated by you or by check. The payment of your salary shall be subject to such statutory deductions and/or withholdings as may be required in accordance with applicable legislation in force from time to time.

In addition to your monthly base salary, you shall be entitled to a car allowance of US$1,700 per month or US$20,400 annually. Your monthly car allowance shall be credited to your nominated bank account with your monthly base salary.

 

2. Bonus Compensation

In addition to your base salary, you will be eligible for an annual incentive cash award, as determined by the Company. For calendar year 2007, your annual incentive cash bonus shall have a target equal to 100% of your base salary as of the Effective Date. For calendar year 2007, the actual annual cash incentive award payable to you shall be determined to be below, at, or above the target: (a) with respect to 75%, based upon the Company’s achievement level against Company financial and other performance objectives; and (b) with respect to 25%, based upon your achievement of individual objectives. The target bonus and its components, the Company performance objectives, and your individual objectives shall be determined each year by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) in consultation with you and the CEO. The payment of your bonus compensation shall be subject to such statutory deductions and/or withholdings as may be required in accordance with applicable legislation in force from time to time.

 

3. Equity Awards

The Company may grant equity awards to you from time to time, which will be subject to the terms of the applicable equity compensation plan or arrangement in effect at the time of grant. The Compensation Committee will determine in its discretion whether you will be granted any such equity awards and the terms and conditions of any such awards in accordance with the terms of any applicable equity plan.

You should be aware that you may incur income taxes as a result of your receipt or the vesting of any equity compensation awards and it shall be your responsibility to pay any such applicable taxes.

6. Additional Terms

The Company may in its discretion transfer your employment to another entity affiliated with the Company by providing you with no less than ten days written notice.

During your employment with the Company, you shall observe and comply with all of the rules, regulations and directives of the Company as may from time to time be made or given.

This Agreement, together with the Severance Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement supersedes any prior agreements, representations and promises of any kind, whether written, oral, express or implied between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matters herein. This Agreement, together with the Severance Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement, constitutes the full, complete and exclusive agreement between you and the Company, its officers, employees and its affiliates with respect to the subject matters herein.
