<div>
<!--[if mso]>
  <v:roundrect xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns:w="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word" href="http://www.EXAMPLE.com/" style="height:40px;v-text-anchor:middle;width:300px;" arcsize="10%" stroke="f" fillcolor="#d62828">
    <w:anchorlock/>
    <center style="color:#ffffff;font-family:sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;">
      Button Text Here!
    </center>
  </v:roundrect>
  <![endif]-->
  <![if !mso]>
  <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> 
  <td align="center" width="300" height="40" bgcolor="#d62828" style="-webkit-border-radius: 5px; -moz-border-radius: 5px; border-radius: 5px; color: #ffffff; display: block;">
    <a href="http://www.EXAMPLE.com/" style="font-size:16px; font-weight: bold; font-family:sans-serif; text-decoration: none; line-height:40px; width:100%; display:inline-block">
    <span style="color: #ffffff;">
      Button Text Here!
    </span>
    </a>
  </td> 
  </tr> </table> 
  <![endif]>
</div>

The link seems to not work sometimes in Outlook. Will this convert it to an image in some cases - like forwarding it?
Edit: I've added another normal anchor tag around the <v:roundrect> element and seems to work.
