    WESTON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 27, 2006--Ultimate Software
(Nasdaq:ULTI), a leading provider of end-to-end strategic human
resources, payroll, and talent management solutions, announced today
that Al Leiter has joined its Board of Directors. The three-time Major
League Baseball World Champion and two-time All-Star pitcher formerly
with the New York Yankees, New York Mets, Toronto Blue Jays, and
Florida Marlins has been an official spokesperson for Ultimate
Software since 2002 and unofficial adviser for several years prior.

    Drafted by the New York Yankees in the second round in 1984, Al
Leiter had a 19-year Major League career. One of the most successful
pitchers in baseball, Leiter has been recognized for nearly every
humanitarian award in the sport, including the prestigious Roberto
Clemente Award, the Good Guy Award from the New York Press
Photographers Association, the Branch Rickey Award for unselfish
contribution to his community, and the Joan W. Payson Award for
humanitarian services.

    In January 2002, Leiter was the emcee at New York City Mayor
Michael Bloomberg's inauguration. Rudy Giuliani appointed him to the
Twin Towers Fund Board of Directors. Some of his fellow Board members
were Arnold Schwarzenegger, Utah Jazz's Mark Jackson, and Bob Wright,
vice chairman and executive officer of General Electric. As part of
the Twin Towers Fund Board of Directors, Leiter helped to allocate
more than $280 million in donations. Leiter was also selected by Mayor
Bloomberg to serve on the Board of directors of NYC & Company, the
city's official, nonprofit tourism organization.

    "Al Leiter is a champion both on and off the field. He knows what
it takes to win, and he knows how to give back," said Scott Scherr,
CEO, president, and founder of Ultimate Software. "We are honored to
have him join our Board. At Ultimate Software, we're all about
building a championship team that can withstand the test of time. We
look forward to Al's continuing input as we take our team to the next
level."
