WHEREAS, Employee and the Company desire to enter into the following Release to resolve all issues between them including, but not limited to, those relating to Employee’s employment with the Company, and the termination thereof; and;

WHEREAS, Employee wishes to receive, and the Company has offered to provide, valuable consideration in exchange for execution by Employee of this Release;

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the payments and benefits listed below, and provided by the Company, Employee agrees to all of the following:

1. | Complete Release by Employee.

(a) Release.

(b) Released Parties. The “Released Parties” are the Company, all of its current and former parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, related companies, partnerships, or joint ventures (including but not limited to MicroStrategy Services Corporation, Usher Incorporated, and/or MicroStrategy Incorporated), and, with respect to each such entity, its predecessors and successors and all of its past, present, and future parents, agents, directors, officers, managers, supervisors, employees, stockholders, owners, representatives, assigns, attorneys, agents, insurers, employee benefit programs (and the trustees, administrators, fiduciaries, and insurers of such programs), and any other persons acting by, through, under, or in concert with any of the persons or entities listed in this subsection, and their successors.

The claims released include but are not limited to those which in any way relate to: (a) Employee’s employment with the Company or the termination of Employee’s employment, such as claims for compensation, sales incentive compensation, special payments, sign on bonuses, retention bonuses or any other cash bonuses, commissions, stock grants, option grants, lost wages, meal and rest period payments or premiums, unused accrued vacation or sick pay, relocation benefits; (b) the design or administration of any employee benefit plan or Employee’s entitlement to benefits under any such plan; (c) any rights Employee may have to severance or similar income replacement benefits under any plan of the Company; (d) any rights Employee may have to the continued receipt of health or life insurance-type benefits, except for any rights Employee may have to benefits pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”); (e) any claims to attorneys’ fees or other indemnities; and (f) any other claims or demands Employee may have on any basis. The claims released, for example, may have arisen under any of the following statutes or common law doctrines:

Employee Initials MS |  | Employer Initials DT |  | Page 1 of 10

| (i) | Anti-Discrimination Statutes, such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, § 1981 of the Civil Rights Act of 1866 and Executive Order 11246; the Equal Pay Act; the Americans With Disabilities Act and § 503 and § 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973; the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008; and any other federal, state or local law or regulation prohibiting retaliation or discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, gender, disability, age, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, genetic information or any other protected characteristic.

| (ii) | Other Federal Statutes, and their state or local counterparts, such as the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act; the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”).

| (iii) | Other Laws, such as state or local laws or regulations restricting an employer’s right to terminate employees, enforcing express or implied employment contracts, requiring an employer to deal with employees fairly or in good faith, relating to salary, commission, compensation, or benefits, or otherwise regulating employment; laws or regulations limiting unfair competition; laws or regulations relating to the private enforcement of state labor codes; and any other federal, state or local laws, whether based on statute, regulation or common law, providing recourse for alleged wrongful discharge, physical or personal injury, emotional distress, fraud, unfair competition, negligent misrepresentation, libel, slander, defamation and similar or related claims.

| (iv) | Age Discrimination In Employment Act

| 1. | Employee also acknowledges and agrees that Employee is waiving and releasing any and all claims or rights Employee may have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended (“ADEA”), that this waiver and release is knowing and voluntary, and that the consideration given for this waiver and release is in addition to anything of value to which Employee was already entitled as an employee of the Company. Employee further acknowledges that Employee is advised that: (a) Employee should consult with an attorney (at Employee’s own expense) prior to executing this Release (Employee understands that whether Employee consults an attorney or not is Employee’s decision); (b) this Release does not waive or release any rights or claims Employee may have under the ADEA which may arise after Employee executes this Release; and (c) if Employee is age forty (40) or older on the date Employee signs this Release (i) Employee has at least twenty-one (21) days in which to consider this Release (although Employee may choose to execute this Release earlier but not before the conclusion of Employee’s last day of employment); (ii) Employee has seven (7) days following execution

Employee Initials MS |  | Employer Initials DT |  | Page 2 of 10

| of this Release to revoke this Release (to be effective, any revocation must be actually received in writing by the Company by 12:00 a.m. on the eighth day); and (iii) this Release shall not be effective until the revocation period has expired.

| 2. | Employee acknowledges and agrees that Employee was given a copy of this Release and has carefully read it and understands it, that Employee has been given the opportunity to consult with the persons identified In Section 11 regarding this Release and that Employee has entered into this Release voluntarily and with full knowledge of its final and binding effect.

(d) Claims Not Released. This Release does not release: (a) Employee’s claims for reimbursement of business expenses owed to Employee, provided, however, that Employee represents that all expenditures have been submitted in accordance with Company policy prior to the date Employee signs this Release; (b) any pending claims for Workers’ Compensation benefits that have been submitted in writing to the Company prior to the Company issuing notice to Employee of Employee’s termination; (c) any claims Employee may now have to vested benefits in any 401 (k), pension plan or other employee benefits plans; and (d) Employee’s right to enforce this Release. This Release also does not release any other claim or abridge any legal right that as a matter of law cannot be released or abridged by private agreement between the Company and Employee.

(e) Release Extends to Known and Unknown, Suspected and Unsuspected Claims. This Release covers both claims that Employee knows about or suspects as well as those Employee does not know about or does not suspect, and Employee expressly waives all rights afforded by any statute which limits the effect of a release with respect to unknown and unsuspected claims.

(f) No Pursuit of Released Claims. Employee represents that Employee has not filed, submitted or caused to be filed any lawsuit, complaint or charge pertaining in any way to Employee’s employment or encompassing any claim released by this Release. Employee promises never to file, prosecute, join, opt-in or participate in a lawsuit (including a collective or class action) or other complaint or charge asserting any claims that are released by this Release. This promise, however, shall not limit and does not affect Employee’s right to challenge the validity of this Release under the ADEA or Older Workers Benefit Protection Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Subsection precludes Employee from filing an administrative charge of discrimination or an administrative charge within the jurisdiction of the National Labor Relations Board, or from filing a charge or communicating with any other federal, state or local government office, official or agency. Employee promises never to seek or accept any damages, remedies, or other relief for Employee personally (any right to which Employee hereby waives and promises never to accept) with respect to any claim included in Section 1 of this Release, in any proceeding including, but not limited to, any Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) proceeding.
