 Exhibit 10.18 

JIVE SOFTWARE, INC. 

AMENDED AND RESTATED CHANGE OF CONTROL AND RETENTION AGREEMENT 

This Change of Control and Retention Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into by and between Elisa Steele (the
“Employee”) and Jive Software, Inc. (the “Company”), effective as of February 9, 2015 (the “Effective Date”). 

RECITALS 
 It is
possible that the Company may from time to time receive acquisition proposals by other entities. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Committee”) recognizes that consideration of any such
proposals can be a distraction to the Employee and can cause the Employee to consider alternative employment opportunities. The Committee has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to assure that the Company
will have the continued dedication and objectivity of the Employee, notwithstanding the possibility, threat or occurrence of a “Change of Control” (as defined herein) of the Company. 

On January 2, 2014, Employee signed a Change of Control and Retention Agreement with the Company in connection with her commencing
employment with the Company, which agreement was subsequently amended on November 3, 2014, in connection with Employee’s appointment to the position of President and member of the Office of the Chief Executive Officer (the
“Original Retention Agreement”). 
 The Committee believes that it is in the best interests of the Company and its
stockholders to amend and restate the Original Agreement to provide the Employee with enhanced incentives to continue her employment and to motivate the Employee to maximize the value of the Company upon a Change of Control for the benefit of its
stockholders. 
 The Committee believes that it is imperative to provide the Employee with certain enhanced benefits upon the
Employee’s termination of employment following a Change of Control. These enhanced benefits will provide the Employee with enhanced financial security and incentive and encouragement to remain with the Company notwithstanding the possibility of
a Change of Control. 
 This Agreement also consolidates the documentation of severance benefits to which the Employee may be entitled in
the event of the Employee’s termination of employment with the Company under specified circumstances not in connection with a Change of Control. 

Certain capitalized terms used in the Agreement are defined in Section 5 below. 

AGREEMENT 
 NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 1. Term of
Agreement. This Agreement shall commence on the date hereof and shall continue in effect until the earlier of (i) the termination of Employee’s employment with the Company for any reason other than within twelve (12) months
after a Change of Control; (ii) such time as Employee is no longer Corporate Executive Officer of the Company (and thereby no longer a member of the Executive Staff of the Company) other than within twelve (12) months after a Change of
Control; (iii) twelve (12) months after the Change of Control Date, if a Change of Control has been completed, and automatically terminate following 







 
the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Change of Control Date, so long as all payments due under Sections 3(c) and 4 of this Agreement have been made; (iv) the Company’s
satisfaction of all of its obligations under this Agreement; or (v) the execution of a written agreement between the Company and Employee terminating this Agreement. If a Potential Change of Control Date has occurred prior to the termination of
this Agreement, the provisions of Section 1(i) and (ii) shall not serve to terminate this Agreement until the earlier of (a) at least twelve (12) months after the Potential Change of Control Date if no Change of Control has been
completed (such period, the “Protected Period”) or (b) the termination or abandonment by the Company’s board of directors of the Potential Change of Control process; provided, however, that in the event of a protracted
completion or closing process with respect to a Potential Change of Control that has not been terminated or abandoned by the Company’s board of directors, the Protected Period shall be extended for so long as the Company is pursuing the
Potential Change of Control in good faith. 
 2. At-Will Employment. The Company and the Employee acknowledge that the
Employee’s employment is and shall continue to be at-will, as defined under applicable law, except as otherwise may be provided specifically under the terms of any written formal employment agreement or offer letter between the Company and the
Employee (an “Employment Agreement”). If the Employee’s employment terminates for any reason, including (without limitation) any termination prior to a Change of Control, the Employee shall not be entitled to any payments, benefits,
damages, awards or compensation other than as provided by this Agreement, the Employment Agreement or as may otherwise be available in accordance with the Company’s established employee plans. 

3. Severance Benefits. 

(a) In addition to the benefits described below or in the Employment Agreement, the Employee will be entitled to receive payment for: 

(i) Accrued Salary and Vacation. All salary and accrued vacation earned through the Termination Date, less applicable federal and
state withholding. 
 (ii) Expense Reimbursement. Within thirty (30) days of submission of proper expense reports by the
Employee, the Company shall reimburse the Employee for all expenses incurred by the Employee, consistent with past practices, in connection with the business of the Company prior to the Employee’s termination of employment. 

(iii) Employee Benefits. Benefits, if any, under any 401(k) plan, nonqualified deferred compensation plan, employee stock purchase
plan and other Company benefit plans under which the Employee may be entitled to benefits, payable pursuant to the terms of such plans. 

(b) Involuntary Termination other than for Cause or Resignation for Good Reason OTHER THAN During the Change of Control Period. If
(i) the Employee resigns his or her employment with the Company (or any parent or subsidiary of the Company) for “Non-Change of Control Period Good Reason” (as defined herein), or (ii) the Company (or any parent or subsidiary of
the Company) terminates the Employee’s employment for other than “Cause” (as defined herein), such termination is not within the period ending twelve (12) months following a Change of Control Date (the “Change of Control
Period”) and, the Employee (X) complies with the Company’s sub-certification requirements that have been implemented to ensure compliance with the Sarbanes Oxley Act 2002 in form and substance determined by the Company in its
complete discretion, and (Y) signs and does not revoke a standard release of claims with the Company in a form substantially similar to that attached hereto as Exhibit A (a “Release”), then the Employee shall
receive the following severance benefits from the Company, subject to Sections 3(d) and (g):

 (ii) Equity Awards. With respect to Employee’s then-outstanding equity awards
covering shares of the Company’s common stock (“Equity Awards”), the Employee shall immediately vest in the number of shares subject to each Equity Award that otherwise would vest during the twelve (12)-month period immediately
following the date of termination under the Equity Award’s vesting schedule had the Employee continued to be employed with the Company through the end of such twelve (12)-month period. 

(iii) Additional Severance Payment. If the Employee is covered by the Company health care plan, then the Employee shall receive a lump
sum cash payment equal to twelve (12) multiplied by the cost of a single month of COBRA coverage at the rates in effect on the date of termination. If such coverage included the Employee’s dependents immediately prior to the
Employee’s termination of employment with the Company, such payment shall also include the cost of COBRA coverage for the Employee’s dependents. 

(iv) Bonus Severance Payment. Employee shall receive a lump-sum severance payment (less applicable tax withholding) equal to the
greater of: (i) the Employee’s annual target bonus for the fiscal year in which the date of Employee’s termination occurs or (ii) the actual bonus that the Employee would earn under the Company’s executive bonus plan in
effect in the fiscal year in which the date of Employee’s termination occurs based on the Company’s achievement against the metrics established under the plan and assuming that any individual goals for Employee are achieved at target
levels. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the payment in this paragraph will be made in the year following the year in which the Employee’s date of termination occurs at the same time as bonus payments are made to the
Company’s other senior executive officers, subject to any delay as may be required pursuant to Section 409A (as defined below). 

(c) Involuntary Termination Other than for Cause or Resignation for Good Reason During the Change of Control Period. If within the

parent or subsidiary of the Company) terminates the Employee’s employment for other than “Cause” (as defined herein), the Employee’s death or the Employee’s Disability (as defined herein), and, the Employee (X) complies
with the Company’s sub-certification requirements that have been implemented to ensure compliance with the Sarbanes Oxley Act 2002 in form and substance determined by the Company in its complete discretion, and (Y) signs and does not
revoke a Release, then the Employee shall receive the following severance benefits from the Company, subject to Sections 3(d) and (g):

 (iii) Additional Severance
Payment. If the Employee is covered by the Company health care plan, the Employee shall receive a cash payment equal to eighteen (18) multiplied by the cost of a single month of COBRA coverage at the rates in effect on the date of

 (iv) Bonus Severance Payment. Employee shall receive a lump-sum severance payment (less
applicable tax withholding) equal to the greater of 150% of: (i) the Employee’s annual target bonus for the fiscal year in which the date of Employee’s termination occurs or (ii) the actual bonus that the Employee would earn
under the Company’s executive bonus plan in effect in the fiscal year in which the date of Employee’s termination occurs based on the Company’s achievement against the metrics established under the plan and assuming that any
individual goals for Employee are achieved at target levels. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the payment in this paragraph will be made in the year following the year in which the Employee’s date of termination occurs at
the same time as bonus payments are made to the Company’s other senior executive officers, subject to any delay as may be required pursuant to Section 409A. 

(v) Special Termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Employee’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause
prior to the Change of Control Date but on or after a Potential Change of Control Date, then the Company will provide to the Employee the payments and benefits as provided in Section 3(c), in lieu of Section 3(b); provided, however,
that if the Company reasonably demonstrates that the Employee’s termination of employment (X) was not at the request of a third party who has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change of Control, and (Y) would have occurred
absent the Change of Control, then Section 3(b) shall apply in lieu of Section 3(c). Solely for purposes of determining the timing of payments and the provision of benefits under the circumstances described in this Section 3(c)(iv),
the Employee’s date of termination shall be deemed to be the Change of Control Date. 
 (d) Timing of Severance Payments. Other
than with respect to the payments made under Section 3(a), the severance payments to which the Employee is entitled will be subject to the Employee signing and not revoking the Release and provided that such Release is effective within sixty
(60) days following the termination of employment. Such cash payments or other severance benefits will be made to the Employee in full, not later than seven (7) calendar days after the effective date of any Release (except as specifically
provided above for bonus severance). In the event the termination occurs at a time during the calendar year where it would be possible for the Release to become effective in the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Employee’s
termination occurs, any severance that would be considered Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits (as defined in Section 3(g)) will be paid on the first payroll date to occur during the calendar year following the calendar year in which such
termination occurs, or such later time as required by the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit, or Section 3(g). 

(e) Voluntary Resignation; Termination for Cause, Death or Disability. If the Employee’s employment with the Company terminates
(i) voluntarily by the Employee other than for Good Reason or Disability, (ii) for Cause by the Company, or (iii) pursuant to the Employee’s death or Disability, then the Employee shall not be entitled to receive severance or
other benefits except for those (if any) as may then be established under the Company’s then existing severance and benefits plans and practices or pursuant to other written agreements with the Company. 

(f) Exclusive Remedy. In the event of a termination of the Employee’s employment, the provisions of this Section 3 are
intended to be and are exclusive and in lieu of any other rights or remedies to which the Employee or the Company may otherwise be entitled, whether at law, tort or contract, in equity, or under this Agreement. The Employee shall be entitled to no
benefits, compensation or other payments or rights upon termination of employment other than those benefits expressly set forth in this Section 3. 

(g) Code Section 409A. 

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Employee is a “specified employee” within the meaning of
Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the final regulations and any guidance promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”)


  
 -4- 








 
at the time of the Employee’s termination (other than due to death) or resignation, then the severance payable to the Employee, if any, pursuant to this Agreement, when considered together
with any other severance payments or separation benefits that are considered deferred compensation under Section 409A (together, the “Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits”) that are payable within the first six
(6) months following the Employee’s termination of employment, will become payable on the first payroll date that occurs on or after the date six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of the Employee’s termination of
employment. All subsequent Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits, if any, will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Employee dies
following his or her termination but prior to the six (6) month anniversary of his or her termination, then any payments delayed in accordance with this paragraph will be payable in a lump sum as soon as administratively practicable after the
date of the Employee’s death and all other Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit. Each payment and benefit payable under this Agreement is
intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations. 

(ii) Any amount paid under this Agreement that satisfies the requirements of the “short-term deferral” rule set forth in
Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) of the Treasury Regulations shall not constitute Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits for purposes of clause (i) above. 

(iii) Any amount paid under this Agreement that qualifies as a payment made as a result of an involuntary separation from service pursuant to
Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) of the Treasury Regulations that do not exceed the Section 409A Limit shall not constitute Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits for purposes of clause (i) above. “Section 409A
Limit” will mean the lesser of two (2) times: (i) the Employee’s annualized compensation based upon the annual rate of pay paid to the Employee during the Employee’s taxable year preceding the Employee’s taxable
year of the Employee’s termination of employment as determined under, and with such adjustments as are set forth in, Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)(A)(1) and any Internal Revenue Service guidance issued with respect
thereto; or (ii) the maximum amount that may be taken into account under a qualified plan pursuant to Section 401(a)(17) of the Code for the year in which the Employee’s employment is terminated. 

(iv) The foregoing provisions are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the severance payments and
benefits to be provided hereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to so comply. The Company and the Employee agree to work together in good faith to consider
amendments to this Agreement and to take such reasonable actions which are necessary, appropriate or desirable to avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition prior to actual payment to the Employee under Section 409A. 

4. Golden Parachute Excise Tax Best Results. In the event that the severance and other benefits provided for in this Agreement or
otherwise payable to the Employee (X) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Code Section 280G, and (Y) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then such benefits shall be
either: 
 (a) delivered in full, or 

(b) delivered as to such lesser extent which would result in no portion of such severance benefits being subject to excise tax under
Section 4999 of the Code, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income and employment taxes and the excise tax imposed by Section 4999, results in the receipt by the Employee, on an
after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of 

  
 -5- 








 
the Code. Unless the Company and the Employee otherwise agree in writing, the determination of the Employee’s excise tax liability and the amount required to be paid under this
Section 4 shall be made in writing by a nationally-recognized independent accounting firm selected by the Company (the “Accountants”). For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 4, the Accountants may
make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and the Employee shall furnish to the
Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section 4. The Company shall bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any
calculations contemplated by this Section 4. Any reduction in payments and/or benefits required by this Section 4 shall occur in the following order: (1) reduction of cash payments; (2) reduction of acceleration of vesting of
equity awards; and (3) reduction of other benefits paid to the Employee. In the event that acceleration of vesting of equity awards is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting shall be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant for
the Employee’s equity awards.

following meanings:

(ii) with respect to payments set forth in Section 3(b) above, the rate of annual base salary paid to the Employee immediately prior to

right of the Employee hereunder or preclude the Employee from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing his or her rights hereunder. 

8. Miscellaneous Provisions. 

(a) Confidentiality. The Employee shall retain in confidence under the conditions of the Company’s confidentiality agreement with
the Employee any proprietary or other confidential information known to the Employee concerning the Company and its business so long as such information is not publicly disclosed and disclosure is not required by an order of any governmental body or
court. If required, the Employee shall return to the Company any memoranda, documents or other materials proprietary to the Company. The Employee shall be specifically required to continue to comply with the terms of any Employee Inventions and
Proprietary Rights Assignment Agreement including its provisions regarding the use of the Company’s trade secrets and/or confidential information to directly or indirectly request, induce or attempt to influence any past, current or future
customer of the Company, or any current or future supplier of goods or services to the Company, to avoid, curtail or cancel any business it transacts with the Company and such agreement is hereby incorporated by reference. 

(b) Non-Solicitation. While employed by the Company and for a period of two (2) years following the termination of such employment
after a Change of Control, the Employee shall not directly or indirectly request, induce or attempt to influence any current or future employee of, or independent contractor or consultant to, the Company to terminate his or her employment with or
services to the Company. 
 (c) The Employee acknowledges that a breach of any of the covenants contained in Sections 8(a) and (b) may
result in material irreparable injury to the Company for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it may not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of such a breach, any payments remaining under the
terms of this Agreement shall cease and the Company may be entitled to obtain a restraining order and/or an injunction restraining the Employee from engaging in activities prohibited by these Sections 8(a) and (b) or such other relief as may be
required to specifically enforce any of the covenants in these Sections 8(a) and (b). This Section 8(c) shall survive any termination of this Agreement. 

(d) Conflict in Benefits; Nonduplication of Benefits. 

(i) No Limitation of Regular Benefit Plans. Except as provided in Section 8(d)(ii) below, this Agreement is not intended to and
shall not affect, limit or terminate any plans, programs, or arrangements of the Company that are regularly made available to a significant number of employees or officers of the Company, including, without limitation, the Company’s stock
option plans. 

  
 -10- 








 (ii) Nonduplication of Benefits. The Employee may not accumulate cash severance payments,
and/or equity vesting under both this Agreement and another plan or policy of the Company. If the Employee has any other binding written agreement with the Company which provides that upon a termination of employment or change of control the
Employee shall receive termination or change of control benefits, then the Employee’s execution of this Agreement is a complete and unconditional waiver of such rights to such benefits and this Agreement shall provide the acceleration described
herein with respect to existing equity awards. If the Employee is entitled to any payments or benefits by operation of a statute or government regulations, any severance payable pursuant to this Agreement will be reduced by such payments or
benefits. 
 (e) No Duty to Mitigate. The Employee shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment contemplated by this
Agreement, nor shall any such payment be reduced by any earnings that the Employee may receive from any other source. 
 (f) Waiver.

(“Employee”). 
 WHEREAS, Employee has agreed to enter into a release of claims in favor of the Company upon certain events
specified in the Amended and Restated Change of Control and Retention Agreement by and between Company and Employee (the “Change of Control Agreement”); 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises made herein, the Parties hereby agree as follows: 

1. Termination. Employee’s employment from the Company terminated on
                    . 
 2.
Confidential Information. Employee shall retain in confidence under the conditions of the Company’s confidentiality agreement with Employee any proprietary or other confidential information known to Employee concerning the Company and
its business so long as such information is not publicly disclosed and disclosure is not required by an order of any governmental body or court. If required, Employee shall return to the Company any memoranda, documents or other materials
proprietary to the Company. Employee shall be specifically required to continue to comply with the terms of any Employee Inventions and Proprietary Rights Assignment Agreement and such agreement is hereby incorporated by reference. 

3. Payment of Salary. Employee acknowledges and represents that the Company has paid all salary, wages, bonuses, accrued vacation,
commissions and any and all other benefits due to Employee. 
 4. Release of Claims. Except as set forth in the last paragraph of
this Section 4, Employee agrees that the foregoing consideration represents settlement in full of all outstanding obligations owed to Employee by the Company. Employee, on behalf of him- or herself, and Employee’s respective heirs, family
members, executors and assigns, hereby fully and forever releases the Company and its past, present and future officers, agents, directors, employees, investors, shareholders, administrators, affiliates, divisions, subsidiaries, parents, predecessor
and successor corporations, and assigns, from, and agrees not to sue or otherwise institute or cause to be instituted any legal or administrative proceedings concerning any claim, duty, obligation or cause of action relating to any matters of any
kind, whether presently known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, that Employee may possess arising from any omissions, acts or facts that have occurred up until and including the Effective Date of this Agreement including, without limitation,

 (a) any and all claims relating to or arising from Employee’s employment relationship with the Company and the termination of that
relationship; 
 (b) any and all claims relating to, or arising from, Employee’s right to purchase, or actual purchase of shares of
stock of the Company, including, without limitation, any claims for fraud, misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of duty under applicable state corporate law, and securities fraud under any state or federal law; 

  
 -13- 








 (c) any and all claims for wrongful discharge of employment; termination in violation of public
policy; discrimination; breach of contract, both express and implied; breach of a covenant of good faith and fair dealing, both express and implied; promissory estoppel; negligent or intentional infliction of emotional distress; negligent or
intentional misrepresentation; negligent or intentional interference with contract or prospective economic advantage; unfair business practices; defamation; libel; slander; negligence; personal injury; assault; battery; invasion of privacy; false
imprisonment; and conversion; 
 (d) any and all claims for violation of any federal, state or municipal statute, including, but not limited
to, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of

release is knowing and voluntary. Employee and the Company agree that this waiver and release does not apply to any rights or claims that may arise under the ADEA after the Effective Date of this Agreement. Employee acknowledges that the
consideration given for this waiver and release Agreement is in addition to anything of value to which Employee was already entitled. Employee further acknowledges that Employee has been advised by this writing that (a) Employee should consult
with an attorney prior to executing this Agreement; (b) Employee has at least twenty-one (21) days within which to consider this Agreement; (c) Employee has seven (7) days following the execution of this Agreement by the parties

Resources at the Company by close of business on the seventh (7th) day from the date that Employee signs this Agreement.

claims against the Company other than the claims that are released by this Agreement. Employee acknowledges that Employee has been advised by legal counsel and is familiar with the provisions of California Civil Code 1542, below, which provides as

re-employment with the Company.

clients in the presentation or prosecution of any disputes, differences, grievances, claims, charges, or complaints by any third party against the Company and/or any officer, director, employee, agent, representative, shareholder or attorney of the
Company, unless under a subpoena or other court order to do so.

either previously or in connection with this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to be (a) an admission of the truth or falsity of any claims heretofore made, or (b) an acknowledgment or admission by the Company of any fault or
liability whatsoever to the Employee or to any third party. 
 11. Costs. The Parties shall each bear their own costs, expert fees,
attorneys’ fees and other fees incurred in connection with this Agreement.

that Employee has the capacity to act on Employee’s own behalf and on behalf of all who might claim through him to bind them to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 

13. No Representations. Employee represents that Employee has had the opportunity to consult with an attorney, and has carefully read
and understands the scope and effect of the provisions of this Agreement. Neither party has relied upon any representations or statements made by the other party hereto which are not specifically set forth in this Agreement. 

14. Severability. In the event that any provision hereof becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal,
unenforceable or void, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without said provision.

Agreement, along with the Change of Control Agreement, the Employee Inventions and Proprietary Rights Assignment Agreement, and Employee’s written Equity Award agreements with the Company, represents the entire agreement and understanding
