SERVICESOURCE INTERNATIONAL, INC.
EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE PLAN
​
(Effective May 13, 2021)
​
ARTICLE I
INTRODUCTION; ESTABLISHMENT OF PLAN
​
The Board of Directors of ServiceSource International, Inc. (the “Company”) recognizes that, as is the case with many publicly held corporations, the possibility exists of a Change in Control (as defined below) or the need to terminate members of senior management.  These possibilities, and the uncertainty they create with executives, may be detrimental to the Company and its shareholders if executives are distracted and/or leave the Company. 
​
The Board considers the avoidance of such loss and distraction to be essential to protecting and enhancing the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.  The Board also believes that when a Change in Control is perceived as imminent, or is occurring, the Board should be able to receive and rely on disinterested service from executive employees regarding the best interests of the Company and its shareholders without concern that the executive employees might be distracted or concerned by their personal uncertainties and risks created by the perception of an imminent or occurring Change in Control. 
​
In addition, the Board believes that it is consistent with the Company’s employment practices and policies and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to treat fairly its executive employees whose employment terminates without cause and to establish up front the terms and conditions of an executive’s separation from employment. 
​
Accordingly, the Board has determined that appropriate steps should be taken to assure the Company and its Affiliates of the executive employees’ continued employment and attention and dedication to duty, and to seek to ensure the availability of their continued service, notwithstanding the possibility, threat or occurrence of a termination of employment or a Change in Control. 
​
In order to fulfill the above purposes, the Company hereby establishes a severance benefit plan known as the ServiceSource International, Inc. Executive Severance Plan (the “Plan”), effective as of the Effective Date, as set forth in this document. 
​

- 7 -
​




effective. Any severance payment to which Participant is entitled that would otherwise be paid on or prior to the 52nd day following the termination date shall be withheld and shall instead be paid by the Company in full on the fifty-third (53rd) day following Executive's employment termination date or such later date as may be required by Section 10.7(c), below.
​
5.5Board Resignation.

​
5.6Non-U.S. Employees.   For Participants who are not U.S.-based employees, the Cash Severance Amount and/or CIP Amount otherwise payable to any such non-U.S. Participant under Section 5.1 or 5.2 above shall be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by any notice period, statutory redundancy, or other payments required by the law of the jurisdiction in which the non-U.S. Participant resides, it being the intention of this Plan that all benefits provided hereunder shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, such other items.  
​
ARTICLE VI
SECTION 280G
​
6.1Best Net After-Tax.  If any of the payments to a Participant (prior to any reduction, below) provided for in this Plan, together with any other payments which Participant has the right to receive from the Company or any corporation which is a member of an "affiliated group" as defined in Section 1504(a) of the Code, without regard to Section 1504(b) of the Code), of which the Company is a member (the "Payments") would constitute a "parachute payment" (as defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code), and if the Safe Harbor Amount is greater than the Taxed Amount, as determined on a net, after-tax basis as described below, then the total amount of such Payments shall be reduced to the Safe Harbor Amount. The "Safe Harbor Amount" is the largest portion of the Payments that would result in no portion of the Payments being subject to the excise tax set forth at Section 4999 of the Code ("Excise Tax"). The "Taxed Amount" is the total amount of the Payments (without any reduction, above) notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payments may be subject to the Excise Tax. Solely for the purpose of comparing which of the Safe Harbor Amount and the Taxed Amount is greater, the determination of each such amount, shall be made on an after-tax basis, taking into account all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes, and, if applicable, the Excise Tax (all of which shall be computed at the highest applicable marginal rate regardless of Participant’s actual marginal rate).
 
6.2 Reduction of Payments.  If a reduction of the Payments to the Safe Harbor Amount is necessary, then the reduction shall occur in the following order: reduction of cash payments; cancellation of accelerated vesting of equity awards the value of which is not determined under Q&A 24(c) of the 280G Treasury Regulations; cancellation of accelerated vesting of equity awards the value of which is determined under Q&A 24(c) of the 280G Treasury Regulations; and reduction of employee benefits. In the event that acceleration of vesting of a category of equity awards is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting shall be cancelled in the reverse order of the date on which awards of such category would have vested absent the change in control transaction. 

- 8 -
​




If two or more equity awards of the same category are granted on the same date, and reduction of acceleration is required under this paragraph, each award will be reduced on a pro-rata basis.
​
6.3 Performance of Calculations. The calculations in Section 6.1 above shall be made by a certified public accounting firm, executive compensation consulting firm, or law firm designated by the Company in its sole and absolute discretion, and may be determined using reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and relying on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code.  The costs of performing such calculations shall be borne exclusively by the Company. 
​
ARTICLE VII
SUCCESSOR TO COMPANY
​
This Plan shall bind any successor of the Company, its assets or its businesses (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise), in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be obligated under this Plan if no succession had taken place.  In the case of any transaction in which a successor would not by the foregoing provision or by operation of law be bound by this Plan, the Company shall require such successor expressly and unconditionally to assume and agree to perform the Company’s obligations under this Plan, in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.  The term “Company,” as used in this Plan, shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor or assignee to the business or assets which by reason hereof becomes bound by this Plan. 
​
ARTICLE VIII
CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL AND PARTICIPANT OBLIGATIONS
​
​
8.1Proprietary and Confidential Information. Each Participant’s employment with the Company allows the Participant access to Proprietary and Confidential Information to which Participant would not otherwise be privy.  For purposes of this Plan, "Proprietary and Confidential Information" is defined as all information and any idea in whatever form, tangible or intangible, of a confidential or secret nature that pertains in any manner to the business of the Company or its Affiliates. This includes any and all non-public information relating to the Company, its Affiliates, or their business, operations, financial affairs, performance, assets, pricing and pricing strategies, technology, research and development, processes, products, contracts, customers, licensees, sublicensees, suppliers, personnel, plans or prospects, whether or not in written form and whether or not expressly designated as confidential, including any such information consisting of or otherwise relating to trade secrets, know-how, technology (including software and programs), designs, drawings, photographs, samples, processes, license or sublicense arrangements, formulae, proposals, product specifications, customer lists or preferences, referral sources, marketing or sales techniques or plans, operating manuals, service manuals, financial information or projections, lists of suppliers or distributors or sources of supply.  Proprietary and Confidential Information includes both information developed by Participant for the Company and its Affiliates and information Participant obtained while in the Company’s employment. All Proprietary and Confidential 

- 9 -
​




Information, whether created by Participant or other employees, shall remain the property of the Company and its Affiliates.
​
8.2.Non-Disclosure and Return.  Each Participant understands and agrees that the Proprietary and Confidential Information is confidential information that the law treats as privileged, thereby protecting an employer from use without consent.  Accordingly, as a condition of participation in this Plan, each Participant agrees that the Participant will not, under any circumstances, or at any time, whether as an individual, partnership, or corporation, or employee, principal, agent, partner or shareholder thereof, in any way, either directly or indirectly, divulge, disclose, copy, use, divert or attempt to divulge, disclose, copy, use or divert the Company’s Proprietary and Confidential Information, except to the extent authorized and necessary to carry out Participant’s responsibilities during employment with the Company, or as required by law. Upon termination of a Participant’s employment with the Company, the Participant shall immediately return to the Company all property in Participant’s possession or control that belongs to the Company, including all property in electronic form and all copies of Proprietary and Confidential Information.
​
8.3Statutory Notification.  18 U.S.C. § 1833(b) provides: “An individual shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that—(A) is made—(i) in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (B) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.”  Nothing in this Agreement is intended to conflict with 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b) or create liability for disclosures of trade secrets that are expressly allowed by 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b).  Accordingly, Participants have the right to disclose in confidence trade secrets to federal, state, and local government officials, or to an attorney, for the sole purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law.  Participants also have the right to disclose trade secrets in a document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, but only if the filing is made under seal and protected from public disclosure.
​
8.4Former Employer Information. Each Participant agrees that the Participant will not, during the Participant’s employment with the Company, improperly use or disclose any proprietary information or trade secrets of any former or concurrent employer or other person or entity and that the Participant will not bring onto the premises of the Company any unpublished document or proprietary information belonging to any such employer, person or entity unless consented to in writing by such employer, person or entity.
​
8.5Third Party Information. Each Participant recognizes that the Company may have received and, in the future, may continue to receive from third parties their confidential or proprietary information as they may so designate, subject to a duty on the Company’s part to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes. Each Participant agrees to hold all such confidential or proprietary information in the strictest confidence and not to disclose it to any person, firm or corporation or to use it except as necessary in carrying out the Participant’s work for the Company consistent with the Company’s agreement with such third party.
​

- 10 -
​




8.6Notification to New Employer. In the event that a Participant’s employment with the Company ends, the Participant consents to notification by the Company to any subsequent employer of the Participant’s rights and obligations under this Plan.  
​
8.7No Solicitation of Clients Using Proprietary and Confidential Information. Each Participant acknowledges and agrees that the names, addresses, and contact information of the Company’s clients and all other confidential information relating to those clients, have been compiled by the Company at great expense and represent a real asset of the Company. Each Participant further understands and agrees that this information is deemed confidential by the Company and constitutes trade secrets of the Company. Each Participant understands that this information has been provided to the Participant in confidence, and the Participant agrees that the sale or unauthorized use or disclosure of any of the Company’s trade secrets obtained by the Participant during employment with the Company constitutes unfair competition. Each Participant agrees and promises not to engage in any unfair competition with the Company. Each Participant further agrees not to, directly or indirectly, during or after termination of employment, make known to any person, firm, or company any Proprietary and Confidential Information concerning any of the clients of the Company. In addition, each Participant shall not use any such Proprietary and Confidential Information to solicit, take away, or attempt to call on, solicit or take away any of the clients of the Company on whom the Participant called or whose accounts the Participant had serviced during employment with the Company, whether on the Participant’s own behalf or for any other person, firm, or the Company.
​
8.8No Solicitation of Employees. Each Participant understands and acknowledges that as an employee of the Company the Participant has certain fiduciary duties to the Company that would be violated by the solicitation and/or encouragement of the Company employees to leave the employ of the Company. Each Participant therefore agrees that the Participant will not, either during employment or for a period of twelve (12) months after the Date of Termination, solicit any of the Company’s employees for a competing business or otherwise induce or attempt to induce such employees to terminate employment with the Company, either directly or through any third parties. Each Participant agrees that any such solicitation during such twelve (12) month period would constitute unfair competition.
​
8.9Assignment of Rights. All Proprietary and Confidential Information and all patents, patent rights, copyrights, trade secret rights, trademark rights and other rights (including intellectual property rights) owned by or otherwise belonging to the Company anywhere in the world in connection therewith, is and shall be the sole property of the Company. Each Participant hereby assigns to the Company any and all rights, title and interest the Participant may have or acquire in the Company’s Proprietary and Confidential Information and the Company’s property.
​
8.10Non-Compete. Participants shall not directly, either during the term of employment or for a period of twelve (12) months thereafter, engage in any Competitive Activity (as defined below) within any geographic location in which the Company or an Affiliate does business; provided, however, that the ownership of less than five percent (5%) of the outstanding capital stock of a corporation whose shares are traded on a national securities exchange or on the over-the-counter market shall not be deemed engaging in a Competitive Business. “Competitive Activity” means any activity which is the same as or directly competitive with a principal line of 

- 11 -
​




business of the Company and its Affiliates on a Participant’s Date of Termination.  Competitive Activities currently include the provision of renewals management, outsourced inside sales, and customer engagement business process outsourcing.
​
8.11.Remedies.  Each Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company's remedy at law for a breach or a threatened breach of the provisions herein would be inadequate, and in recognition of this fact, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Participant of any of the provisions of this Plan, it is agreed that the Company will be entitled to equitable relief in the form of specific performance, a temporary restraining order, a temporary or permanent injunction or any other equitable remedy which may then be available, without posting bond or other security. Each Participant acknowledges that the granting of a temporary injunction, a temporary restraining order or other permanent injunction merely prohibiting the Participant from engaging in any business activities would not be an adequate remedy upon breach or threatened breach of this Plan, and consequently agrees upon any such breach or threatened breach to the granting of injunctive relief prohibiting the Participant from engaging in any activities prohibited by this Plan. No remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every such remedy will be cumulative and will be in addition to any other remedy given hereunder now or hereinafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise.  In addition, in the event of any breach or suspected breach of the provisions of this Article VIII, the Company shall have the right to terminate immediately any payments or benefits that may otherwise be due the Participant pursuant to this Plan.

MISCELLANEOUS
​
10.1 Full Settlement.  Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Company’s obligation to make the payments provided for under this Plan and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the Company may have against a Participant or others.  In no event shall a Participant be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Participant under any of the provisions of this Plan and such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not the Participant obtains other employment.   
​
10.2 Employment Status.  This Plan does not constitute a contract of employment or impose on the Participant or the Company any obligation for the Participant to remain an employee or change the status of the Participant’s employment or the policies of the Company regarding termination of employment. 
​
10.3 Named Fiduciary; Administration.  The Company is the named fiduciary of the Plan, and shall administer the Plan, acting through its Compensation Committee, who shall be the Plan Administrator.  The Plan Administrator shall have full and complete discretionary authority to administer, construe, and interpret the Plan, to decide all questions of eligibility, to determine the amount, manner and time of payment, and to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the Plan, which determinations (to the extent made in good faith) shall be final and conclusive on all persons claiming payments or benefits hereunder.  The Plan Administrator shall review and determine all claims for benefits under this Plan. 
​
10.4 Claim Procedure.   
​
(a) Filing a Claim.  All claims and inquiries concerning benefits under the Plan must be submitted to the Plan Administrator in writing.  The claimant may submit written comments, documents, records or any other information relating to the claim.  Furthermore, the claimant shall be provided, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records and other information relevant to the claim for benefits.  If an employee or former employee makes a written request alleging a right to receive benefits under this Plan or alleging a right to receive an adjustment in benefits being paid under the Plan, the Company shall treat it as a claim for benefits. 
​
(b) Review of Claims; Claims Denial.  The Plan Administrator shall initially deny or approve all claims for benefits under the Plan.  If any claim for benefits is denied in whole or in part, the Plan Administrator shall notify the claimant in writing of such denial and shall advise the claimant of his right to a review thereof.  Such written notice shall set forth, in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, specific reasons for such denial, specific references to the Plan provisions on which such denial is based, a description of any information or material necessary for the claimant to perfect his claim, an explanation of why such material is necessary and an explanation of the Plan’s review procedure, and the time limits applicable to such procedures.  Furthermore, the notification shall include a statement of the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse benefit determination on

​




review.  Such written notice shall be given to the claimant within a reasonable period of time, which normally shall not exceed ninety (90) days, after the claim is received by the Plan Administrator. 
​
(c) Appeals.  Any claimant or his duly authorized representative, whose claim for benefits is denied in whole or in part, may appeal such denial by submitting to the Plan Administrator a request for a review of the claim within sixty (60) days after receiving written notice of such denial from the Plan Administrator.  The Plan Administrator shall give the claimant upon request, and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records and other information relevant to the claim of the claimant, in preparing his request for review.  The request for review must be in writing.  The request for review shall set forth all of the grounds upon which it is based, all facts in support thereof, and any other matters which the claimant deems pertinent.  The Plan Administrator may require the claimant to submit such additional facts, documents, or other materials as the Plan Administrator may deem necessary or appropriate in making its review. 
​
(d) Review of Appeals.  The Plan Administrator shall act upon each request for review within sixty (60) days after receipt thereof.  The review on appeal shall consider all comments, documents, records and other information submitted by the claimant relating to the claim without regard to whether this information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination. 
​
(e) Decision on Appeals.  The Plan Administrator shall give written notice of its decision to the claimant.   If the Plan Administrator confirms the denial of the application for benefits in whole or in part, such notice shall set forth, in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, the specific reasons for such denial, and specific references to the Plan provisions on which the decision is based.  The notice shall also contain a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive upon request, and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records and other information relevant to the claimant’s claim for benefits.  Information is relevant to a claim if it was relied upon in making the benefit determination or was submitted, considered or generated in the course of making the benefit determination, whether it was relied upon or not.  The notice shall also contain a statement of the claimant’s right to bring an action under ERISA Section 502(a).  If the Plan Administrator has not rendered a decision on a request for review within sixty (60) days after receipt of the request for review, the claimant’s claim shall be deemed to have been approved.  The Plan Administrator’s decision shall be final and not subject to further review within the Company.  There are no voluntary appeals procedures after appellate review by the Plan Administrator. 
​
(f) Determination of Time Periods.  If the day on which any of the foregoing time periods is to end is a Saturday, Sunday or holiday recognized by the Company, the period shall extend until the next following business day. 
​
10.5 Unfunded Plan Status.  All payments pursuant to the Plan shall be made from the general funds of the Company and no special or separate fund shall be established or other segregation of assets made to assure payment.  No Participant or other person shall have under any circumstances any interest in any particular property or assets of the Company as a result of 

- 14 -
​




participating in the Plan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may (but shall not be obligated to) create one or more grantor trusts, the assets of which are subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, to assist it in accumulating funds to pay its obligations under the Plan. 
​
10.6 Attorney Fees; Interest.  The Company agrees to pay as incurred, to the full extent permitted by law, and in accordance with Section 10.7(d) hereof, all legal fees and expenses which a Participant may reasonably incur as a result of any contest (regardless of the outcome thereof) initiated by the Company, the Participant, or others of the validity or enforceability of, or liability under, any provision of this Plan or any guarantee of performance thereof (including as a result of any contest by the Participant about the amount of any payment pursuant to this Plan), plus in each case interest on any delayed payment at the applicable Federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2)(A) of the Code, to the extent such contest arises out of a Participant’s Separation from Service following a Change of Control.  The foregoing right to legal fees and expenses shall not apply to any contest brought by a Participant (or other party seeking payment under the Plan) that is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be frivolous or vexatious. 
​
10.7 Section 409A.    
​
(a)General.  The payments and benefits provided hereunder are intended to be exempt from or compliant with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, in the event that the Company reasonably determines that any payments or benefits hereunder are not either exempt from or compliant with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, the Company shall have the right to adopt such amendments to this Plan or adopt such other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that are necessary or appropriate (i) to preserve the intended tax treatment of the payments and benefits provided hereunder, to preserve the economic benefits with respect to such payments and benefits, and/or (ii) to exempt such payments and benefits from Section 409A of the Code or to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and thereby avoid the application of penalty taxes thereunder; provided, however, that this Section 10.7 does not, and shall not be construed so as to, create any obligation on the part of the Company to adopt any such amendments, policies or procedures or to take any other such actions or to indemnify any Participant for any failure to do so. 
​
(b) Exceptions to Apply.  The Company shall apply the exceptions provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4), Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9) and all other applicable exceptions or provisions of Code Section 409A to the payments and benefits provided under this Plan so that, to the maximum extent possible, (i) such payments and benefits are not deemed to be “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to Code Section 409A, and (ii) such payments and benefits are not subject to the payment delay required by Section 10.7(c) below.  All payments and benefits provided under this Plan shall be deemed to be separate payments (and any payments made in installments shall be deemed a series of separate payments) for purposes of Code Section 409A. 
​
(c) Specified Employees.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, no compensation or benefits that are “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to Code 

- 15 -
​




Section 409A shall be paid to a Participant during the 6-month period following his or her Date of Termination to the extent that the Company determines that the Participant is a “specified employee” as of the Date of Termination and that that paying such amounts at the time or times indicated in this Plan would be a prohibited distribution under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i).  If the payment of any such amounts is delayed as a result of the previous sentence, then on the first business day following the end of such 6-month period (or such earlier date upon which such amount can be paid under Code Section 409A without being subject to such additional taxes, including as a result of the Participant’s death), the Company shall pay to the Participant a lump-sum amount equal to the cumulative amount that would have otherwise been payable to the Participant during such 6-month period. 
​
(d) Taxable Reimbursements.  To the extent that any payments or reimbursements provided to the Participant are deemed to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to Code Section 409A, such amounts shall be paid or reimbursed reasonably promptly, but not later than December 31 of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred.  The amount of any payments or expense reimbursements that constitute compensation in one year shall not affect the amount of payments or expense reimbursements constituting compensation that are eligible for payment or reimbursement in any subsequent year, and the Participant’s right to such payments or reimbursement of any such expenses shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefit.
​
(e)Prior Employment Agreement. In the event a Participant had a previous severance entitlement under an Employment Agreement with the Company that provided for a different payment schedule for a CIP-related severance amount, and solely if necessary to maintain compliance with Code Section 409A, the portion of the CIP Amount provided for herein up to the CIP-related severance amount provided for in the Employment Agreement shall be paid in accordance with the originally payment schedule set forth in the Employment Agreement as opposed to the schedule set forth herein. 
​
10.8 Validity and Severability.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of the Plan shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of the Plan, which shall remain in full force and effect, and any prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
​
10.9 Governing Law.  The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of the Plan shall in all respects be governed by the laws of Colorado, without reference to principles of conflict of law, except to the extent pre-empted by Federal law. 
​
10.10 Withholding.  All payments Participants in accordance with the provisions of this Plan shall be subject to applicable withholding of local, state, Federal and foreign taxes, as determined in the sole discretion of the Company. 
​
10.11Clawback.  As a condition of Participation in this Plan, each Participant agrees to be bound by the provisions of any recoupment or “clawback” policy that the Company may adopt from time to time that by its terms is applicable to the Participant, or by any recoupment or “clawback” that is otherwise required by law or the listing standards of any exchange on which

the Company’s common stock is then traded, including the “clawback” required by Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Act.

WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Plan, the Company has agreed to provide the Employee certain benefits and payments under the terms and conditions specified therein, provided that the Employee has executed and not revoked a general release of claims in favor of the Company;
​
WHEREAS, the Employee's employment with the Company is being terminated effective __________ __, 20__; and
​
WHEREAS, the Parties wish to terminate their relationship amicably and to resolve, fully and finally, all actual and potential claims and disputes relating to the Employee's employment with and termination from the Company and all other relationships between the Employee and the Company, up to and including the date of execution of this Release.
​
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the promises and mutual covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are expressly acknowledged, the Parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:
​
	1.      
	Termination of Employment.  The Employee's employment with the Company shall terminate on __________ __, 20__ (the “Termination Date”).

The Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Benefits constitute consideration beyond that which the Company would be obligated to provide, or the Employee would be entitled to receive, but for the mutual covenants set forth in this Release and the covenants contained in the Plan.


​



	3.      
	Effective Date.  Provided that it has not been revoked pursuant to Section 6 hereof, this Release will become effective on the eighth (8th) day after the date of its execution by the Employee (the “Effective Date”).
