This Confidential Severance Agreement and Release (“Agreement”) dated March 18, 2011 is made by and between ▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (“Employee”) and Solera Holdings, Inc. (“Company”) (individually referred to as a “Party” and collectively referred to as the “Parties”):

WHEREAS, Employee agreed to the terms of employment with the Company pursuant to an employment offer letter agreement dated December 18, 2009, as amended on January 13, 2010 (collectively, the “Offer Letter”), which Offer Letter provides for cash severance payments to Employee following a termination of Employee’s employment with the Company under certain circumstances (the “Offer Letter Severance”);

WHEREAS, Employee’s employment with the Company commenced on April 12, 2010;

WHEREAS, the Company and Employee have entered into an Employee Invention Assignment and Confidentiality Agreement (the “Confidentiality Agreement”);

WHEREAS, Employee was separated from the Company;

WHEREAS, Employee wishes to release the Company from any claims arising from or related to the employment relationship and separation thereof;

WHEREAS, the Parties, and each of them, wish to resolve any and all disputes, claims, complaints, grievances, charges, actions, petitions and demands that the Employee may have against the Company as defined herein, including, but not limited to, any and all claims arising or in any way related to Employee’s employment with, or separation from, the Company;

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises made herein, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Separation Date. Employee was separated from the Company. If Employee enters into this Agreement, the effective date of Employee’s separation shall be March 31, 2011 (the “Separation Date”). If Employee does not enter into this Agreement, Employee will be deemed to have separated from the Company effective as of March 28, 2011.

2. Consideration. In exchange for Employee’s agreement to the general release and waiver of claims and covenant not to ▇▇▇ and Employee’s other promises herein, the Company agrees to pay Employee the consideration set forth in this Paragraph 2.

(a) Severance Amount. The Company agrees to pay Employee a lump sum of $115,000, less applicable withholdings, which amount is equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of Employee’s annual base salary as of the Separation Date (the “Salary Severance”). The Company will tender the Salary Severance payment to Employee by delivering a check for $115,000, less applicable withholdings, made payable to Employee within ten (10) business days following the later of the Effective Date (as defined below) of this Agreement or the Separation Date.

(b) Employee Equity Award Vesting. As of the date of this Agreement, Employee has no vested stock options and no vested restricted stock units (“RSUs”). Provided that Employee continues to comply with the terms of the Offer Letter, the Confidentiality Agreement, the Company’s policies applicable to Employee and this Agreement, Employee will remain an employee of the Company through the Separation Date and, on March 31, 2011, will vest in (i) 12,528 stock options and (ii) 7,341 RSUs. The RSUs, the stock options and the exercise of any stock options shall continue to be subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s 2008 Omnibus Incentive Plan and the stock option agreements and RSU grant agreements between Employee and the Company, as applicable. By signing this Agreement, Employee acknowledges that he/she has ninety (90) days from the Separation Date to exercise his/her stock options granted pursuant to the 2008 Omnibus Incentive Plan that have vested through March 31, 2011 and, to the extent the vested stock options are not exercised within such 90 day period, the stock options will be forfeited and canceled.

(c) Consultancy. Following the Effective Date of this Agreement, the Company and Employee agree to enter into the Consulting Agreement and Statement of Work attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Consulting Agreement”). The foregoing sentence notwithstanding, if the Effective Date of this Agreement is prior to the Separation Date, then the Company and Employee agree to enter into the Consulting Agreement following the Separation Date.

(d) Acknowledgments. By signing this Agreement, Employee acknowledges and agrees that: (i) there exists a genuine question about whether Employee is entitled to the Offer Letter Severance; (ii) as an “at will” employee, Employee’s employment could be terminated prior to March 31, 2011, in which case employee would not be entitled to the employee equity award vesting described in Paragraph 2(b) of this Agreement; and (iii) based on the market price of the Company’s common stock as of the date of this Agreement, the consideration payable to Employee pursuant to Paragraph 2(a), Paragraph 2(b), Paragraph 2(c) (including the consideration payable to Employee pursuant to the Consulting Agreement) and Paragraph 3 of this Agreement is greater than the Offer Letter Severance.

3. Benefits. Employee’s health insurance benefits will cease on March 31, 2011, subject to Employee’s right to continue his/her health insurance under COBRA. Employee’s participation in all other benefits and incidents of employment ceased on the Separation Date. Employee ceased accruing employee benefits, including, but not limited to, vacation time and paid time off, as of the Separation Date. Provided that Employee timely elects continuation coverage under COBRA as required by applicable law, the Company will reimburse the entire premium expenses for continuing Employee’s health care coverage and the coverage of Employee’s dependents who are covered at the Separation Date under COBRA for a period ending on the earlier of the date that is three (3) months after the Separation Date or the date on which Employee becomes eligible to be covered by the health care plans of another employer. With respect to COBRA premium reimbursement, Employee shall submit the COBRA invoice and proof of payment in a reasonable form to the Company every calendar month. Such COBRA documents shall be approved by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or his designee prior to reimbursement payment. Reimbursement payment due Employee for COBRA premiums shall be made within thirty (30) days following the Company’s receipt and approval of Employee’s COBRA documents.

Employee’s signature below constitutes his/her certification under penalty of perjury that he/she has returned all documents and other items provided to Employee by the Company or any Subsidiary, developed or obtained by Employee as a result of his/her employment with the Company, or otherwise belonging to the Company or any Subsidiary, including without limitation, any motor vehicle leased by the Company and provided to Employee pursuant to the Company’s executive vehicle program.

5. Acknowledgment of Payment of Wages. Employee acknowledges and represents that the Company has paid all salary, wages, bonuses, accrued vacation, business expense reimbursements, commissions and any and all other benefits due to Employee as of the Separation Date. Employee agrees and acknowledges that the payments and benefits referenced in Paragraph 2 of this Agreement are not a payment for salary, wages, bonuses, accrued vacation, business expense reimbursements, commissions or any other benefits due to Employee in connection with his/her employment with the Company.
