Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Policy Regarding Treatment of Senior Executive Officers Upon Change in Control

     On April 28, 2005, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Open Solutions Inc. (the “Registrant”) adopted a policy regarding the treatment of its senior executive officers (other than its Chief Executive Officer) upon a change in control of the Registrant, which provides that if a senior executive officer is terminated without cause or for good reason within two years after a change in control, the senior executive officer will receive (i) a lump sum payment on the date of termination equal to the sum of (a) the senior executive officer’s base salary then in effect (calculated for twelve months), (b) the senior executive officer’s target bonus for the year of termination (calculated for twelve months), and (c) the senior executive officer’s target bonus for the year of termination, pro rated for the number of days worked during the year (or, if in the fourth quarter, the greater of the senior executive officer’s actual or target bonus, as pro rated), (ii) benefits for twelve months after the date of termination as if the senior executive officer had remained employed, and (iii) full acceleration of any stock options previously granted to the senior executive officer.

Lead Director Compensation

     On April 29, 2005, the Registrant’s Board appointed Douglas K. Anderson to serve as lead director of the Board. The lead director’s duties will include, but not be limited to, acting as the chairperson of any meetings of the independent directors of the Board, working with the Chairman of the Board to prepare the agenda for Board meetings and consulting with the Chairman regarding matters related to corporate governance and Board performance. The lead director will receive an annual retainer of $5,000.
