SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE
1.Intent. This is a Separation Agreement and General Release (“Agreement”)
between Donald Massaro (“Employee”) and Rainmaker Systems, Inc. (“Company”)
concerning Employee’s separation from employment based on the following terms.
2.Wages and Benefits. Company is ending Employee’s employment effective July 15,
2014, and the end of his employment shall be characterized for purposes of this
Agreement as a termination without Cause as defined in the parties December 11,
2012 Executive Employment Agreement (“Employment Agreement”). Company will pay
all wages due Employee for services through July 15, 2014 (“Termination Date”),
including any accrued and unused vacation under Company policy. If eligible,
Employee may purchase continued health benefits coverage under COBRA for
Employee and his qualified dependents. Company will make no COBRA continuation
arrangements for Employee. It is Employee’s sole responsibility to elect and pay
for any COBRA coverage. To purchase COBRA coverage, Employee must take action in
accordance with the COBRA election notice that will be mailed to Employee’s home
address. This Agreement does not affect any vested benefits under Company’s
retirement plan(s), which shall be determined and distributed in accordance with
the terms of the applicable plan.
If Employee applies for unemployment benefits, Company will provide, upon
request, information it believes to be true and accurate. Company will not
actively challenge Employee’s application for unemployment benefits, but Company
and Employee recognize that the decision to grant or deny unemployment benefits
is not made or controlled by Company.
3.Severance Payment. As contemplated by the Employment Agreement, Company shall
pay consideration to Employee in the gross amount of Two Hundred Twenty-One
Thousand Two Hundred Fifty and 00/100 Dollars ($221,250.00), less applicable
withholdings and deductions (the “Severance Payment”). The Severance Payment
will be paid via direct deposit in accordance with Company’s normal payroll
dates following the Termination Date beginning with the next regularly scheduled
payroll date occurring not earlier than fifteen business days after the later of
the Effective Date (defined below) or the receipt by Company of this Agreement
signed by Employee (the “First Payment Date”), except that any payments that
would otherwise have been made before the First Payment Date shall be made on
the First Payment Date. As set forth in the Employment Agreement, Company is
providing this Severance Payment as consideration and in exchange for Employee’s
release of claims and the obligations stated in this Agreement.
Employee acknowledges and agrees that Company has not made any representations
to him regarding the tax consequences of any amounts received by him pursuant to
this Agreement. Employee agrees to be solely responsible for his portion of the
federal, state, and/or local taxes, if any, which are required by law to be
reported and paid by him with respect to the Severance Payment. Employee will
indemnify and hold Company harmless against all claims, demands, deficiencies,
levies, assessments, executions, judgments, or recoveries by any governmental
entity against Company for any amounts claimed due on account of this Agreement
or pursuant to claims made under any federal or state tax laws.
4.General Release of Claims. In consideration of the payment set forth in
Paragraph 3 and on behalf of Employee and Employee’s heirs, representatives, and
assigns, Employee fully and forever releases Company and all of its
subsidiaries, affiliates and related entities, its present and former owners,
directors, officers, employees, attorneys and agents, successors, assigns, and
all other representatives, individually and in their corporate capacities, from
any claim relating to any matters that arise out of any omissions or acts that
have occurred up to and including the date of signing of this Agreement,
including but not limited to, the following:

87454-0005/LEGAL122589563.2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

a.
Any claims for damages of any kind whatsoever, arising out of Employee’s
employment with Company whether the claims are presently known or unknown.

b.
Any claims in federal, state, or local statutory or common law relating to
Employee’s employment with Company and the termination thereof, including but
not limited to claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act; California
Government Code; the California Fair Employment and Housing Act; Title VII of
the Civil Rights Act of 1964; the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act; the
Americans with Disabilities Act; the Family and Medical Leave Act; the
California Family Rights Act; and the Constitution of the State of California;
the California Labor Code, including as it applies to the payment of wages,
salary, compensation, or penalties; as well as all applicable wage and hour
statutes, regulations, and ordinances, including any applicable California
Industrial Welfare Commission Wage Order; the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act,
including the Equal Pay Act; claims for wrongful termination; claims for any
form of discrimination or retaliation; any and all claims for attorneys’ fees
and/or costs; any and all claims for equitable relief, restitution and other
monetary relief and damages; and any other legal limitation on the employment
relationship, except that this Agreement does not release any claims that may
not be released under applicable law.

c.
To the extent permitted by law, Employee also promises never directly or
indirectly to bring or participate in an action against any released party under
California Business & Professions Code Section 17200 or any unfair competition
law of any jurisdiction.

d.
This Agreement excludes any claim or right Employee cannot waive as a matter of
law, including but not limited to claims under the California Workers’
Compensation Act; claims to vested benefits under Company’s benefit plans, if
any; claims against Company for breach of this Agreement; and claims that arise
after the date Employee signs this Agreement. 

Employee represents that Employee has not filed any complaints, charges, or
lawsuits against Company, or any of them, with any governmental agency or any
court, and agrees that Employee will not initiate or encourage any such actions,
and will not assist any such actions other than as required by law; provided,
however, nothing in this Agreement prevents Employee from filing a charge or
complaint with, or from participating, in an investigation or proceeding
conducted by any federal, state or local agency charged with the enforcement of
any employment laws. By signing this Agreement, however, Employee is waiving
rights to individual relief based on claims asserted in such a charge or
complaint.
Employee acknowledges that Employee has received all compensation due Employee
as a result of services performed for Company. Employee therefore acknowledges
that Employee has received satisfaction from and has reached an accord with
Company, and Employee grants the release herein on that basis.
5.Release of Unknown Claims. Employee waives (i) all rights that Employee may
have based on any unknown and undiscovered facts, and (ii) all rights that are
provided under California Civil Code Section 1542 which provides as follows:
A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR
SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH
IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH
THE DEBTOR.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6.Consultation With Counsel. The parties acknowledge and represent that they
have consulted with legal counsel or had an opportunity to do so before
effecting this settlement and executing this Agreement and that they understand
its meaning, including the effect of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code,
and expressly consent that this Agreement shall be given full force and effect
according to each of its express terms and provisions, including those relating
to the release of unknown and unsuspected claims, demands, and causes of action.
7.Period to Consider Terms of Agreement. Employee acknowledges receipt of this
Agreement on July 3, 2014 and knows that Employee is entitled to have twenty-one
(21) days to consider whether to sign it (“Consideration Period”), up to July
24, 2014. The proposed terms of this Agreement shall not be amended, modified,
or revoked by Company during the Consideration Period. Employee understands that
Employee may sign this Agreement or reject it at any time during the
Consideration Period. If Employee signs this Agreement before the Consideration
Period has ended, Employee has voluntarily waived any remaining Consideration
Period. The Consideration Period allows Employee time to consider whether to
execute this Agreement and to seek the advice of legal counsel or other advisors
to be able to make an informed decision. Employee further acknowledges that
Employee has been advised that Employee has the right to consult an attorney
regarding this Agreement before executing it. Employee acknowledges Employee has
had ample opportunity to consult with an attorney of Employee’s choice regarding
this Agreement.
8.Revocation of Agreement. Within seven (7) days of signing this Agreement,

writing and delivered to Kathy Cimino, within the seven-day period.
9.Effective Date. This Agreement becomes effective and binding 7 days after
Employee signs and returns the Agreement and has not revoked it (“Effective
Date”).
10.No Admissions. No action taken by the parties hereto, either previously or in
connection with the compromise and settlement reflected in this Agreement, shall
be deemed or construed to be an admission of the truth or falsity of any matter
pertaining to any claim, demand, or cause of action referred to herein or
relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, or any acknowledgment by them,
or any of them, of any fault or liability to any party hereto or to any other
person in connection with any matter or thing.
11.Promise to Maintain Confidentiality of Company’s Confidential Information.
Employee acknowledges that, in the course of Employee’s employment with Company,
Employee has received confidential information concerning Company’s products,
procedures, customers, sales, prices, technologies, contracts, employees, and
other confidential business information. Employee further acknowledges that such
information constitutes Company’s confidential information and that Employee has
an obligation to keep such confidential information private, which obligation
survives and continues beyond termination of employment. Employee hereby affirms
such obligation. If Employee has signed a written confidentiality agreement,
Employee acknowledges that the obligations thereunder to maintain
confidentiality of Company’s confidential information shall survive, and are not
altered by the terms of this Agreement.

terms to anyone other than Employee’s immediate family, legal counsel, financial
advisors, or when required by law to do so. Each recipient of the information
shall be directed to respect this confidentiality provision. A disclosure of the
settlement by any authorized recipient that is not compelled by law may be
considered a breach by Employee.

slander of Company and its officers, directors, employees, agents and customers,
and agrees to refrain from any tortious interference with the contracts and
relationships of Company and its employees and customers.
15.Attorneys' Fees and Costs. The parties shall each bear their own costs,
attorneys’ fees, and other fees incurred in connection with this Agreement. In
the event any litigation or other proceeding is brought for the interpretation
or enforcement of this Agreement, or because of an alleged dispute, default,
misrepresentation, or breach in connection with any of the provisions of this
Agreement, the successful or prevailing party shall be entitled to recover
reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses actually incurred in connection
therewith, in addition to any other relief to which he or it may be entitled.

unenforceable, it shall not affect the enforceability of the remaining
provisions and the rest of this Agreement shall continue in effect to the
fullest extent possible. A court of competent jurisdiction shall have the power
to modify any unenforceable provision as necessary to comply with applicable law
and to make this Agreement enforceable to the maximum extent allowed.

governed by and construed solely in accordance with the laws of the State of
California.
18.Entire Agreement. This is the entire agreement between Employee and Company
concerning Employee’s separation from employment. Nothing in this Agreement

this Agreement, and understands its terms and the fact that it releases any
claim Employee has or may have against Company. Employee acknowledges he has not
