Executive Change in Control and Severance Plan



 Exhibit 10.2 
 TIBCO Software Inc. 
 Executive Change in Control and Severance Plan

 Amended and Restated March 2, 2011 
 1. Introduction. The purpose of this TIBCO Software Inc. Executive Change in Control and Severance Plan (the “Plan”) (formerly the TIBCO Software Inc. Change in Control Plan) is to
provide assurances of specified severance benefits to eligible employees of the Company whose employment is subject to being involuntarily terminated (other than for Cause, death or permanent disability) or terminated for Good Reason under the
circumstances described in the Plan, including but not limited to following a Change in Control of the Company. The Company recognizes that the potential of a Change in Control can be a distraction to employees and can cause such employees to
consider alternative employment opportunities. The Plan is intended to (i) assure that the Company will have continued dedication and objectivity of its employees, notwithstanding the possibility, threat or occurrence of a Change in Control and
(ii) provide the Company’s employees with an I ncentive to continue their employment and to motivate its employees to maximize the value of the Company prior to and following a Change in Control for the benefit of its stockholders. This
Plan is an “employee welfare benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(1) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. This document constitutes both the written instrument under which the Plan is maintained and
the required summary plan description for the Plan.

 4. Change in Control Severance Benefit. 

4.1 Involuntary Termination Following a Change in Control. If following a Change in Control, and during the time period specified
in Section 4.1.1 below, (i) a Covered Employee terminates his or her employment with the Company (or any parent or subsidiary of the Company) for Good Reason, or (ii) the Company (or any parent or subsidiary of the Company) terminates
such Covered Employee’s employment for other than Cause, death or permanent disability, then, subject to the Covered Employee’s compliance with Section 7, the Covered Employee shall receive the following Change in Control Severance
Benefit from the Company: 
 4.1.1 Change in Control Severance Benefit. 

4.1.1.1 Tier 1 Covered Employee. If the Covered Employee is a Tier 1 Covered Employee, and his or her employment terminates on or
following the Change in Control, he or she shall be entitled to receive a lump sum cash payment equal to twelve (12) months of Base Pay and the Covered Employee’s Target Bonus. 

4.1.1.2 Tier 2 Covered Employee. If the Covered Employee is a Tier 2 Covered Employee, and his or her employment terminates on or
following the Change in Control, he or she shall be entitled to receive a lump sum cash payment equal to nine (9) months of Base Pay and nine (9) months of the Covered Employee’s Target Bonus. 

4.1.1.3 Tier 3 Covered Employee. If the Covered Employee is a Tier 3 Covered Employee, and his or her employment terminates on or
following the Change in Control, he or she shall be entitled to receive a lump sum cash payment equal to six (6) months of Base Pay and six (6) months of the Covered Employee’s Target Bonus. 

4.1.1.4 Tier 4 Covered Employee. If the Covered Employee is a Tier 4 Covered Employee, and his or her employment terminates
during the Change in Control Determination Period, he or she shall be entitled to receive a lump sum cash payment equal to three (3) months of Base Pay and three (3) months of the Covered Employee’s Target Bonus. 

4.1.2 Continued Medical Benefits. If the Covered Employee, and any spouse and/or dependents of the Covered Employee (“Family
Members”) has medical and dental coverage under a group health plan sponsored by the Company, on the date of Covered Employee’s termination of employment and such termination occurs during the period specified in Section 4.1.1, then
the Company will reimburse Covered Employee for the total applicable premium cost for medical and dental coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986, 29 U.S.C. Sections 1161-1168; 26 U.S.C. Section 4980B(f), as
amended, and all applicable regulations (referred to collectively as “COBRA”) for Covered Employee and his Family Members as follows: 
 4.1.2.1 Tier 1 Covered Employee. For a period of up to twelve (12) months. 

4.1.2.2 Tier 2 Covered Employee. For a period of up to nine (9) months. 

4.1.2.3 Tier 3 Covered Employee. For a period of up to six (6) months.








 4.1.2.4 Tier 4 Covered Employee. For a period of up to three (3) months.

 Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Company shall have no obligation to reimburse the Covered Employee for the premium cost of
COBRA coverage beginning on or after the date the Covered Employee and his Family Members first become eligible to obtain comparable benefits from a subsequent employer. In addition, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this 4.1.2, if the
Company determines in its sole discretion that it cannot provide the COBRA benefits without potentially violating applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), the Company will in lieu thereof
provide to the Covered Employee a taxable monthly payment in an amount equal to the monthly COBRA premium that the Covered Employee would be required to pay to continue his or her group health coverage in effect on the date of his or her termination
of employment (which amount will be based on the premium for the first month of COBRA coverage), which payments will be made regardless of whether the Covered Employee elects COBRA continuation coverage. If the Company chooses to make payments under
this paragraph rather than directly reimbursing the Covered Employee, the amounts paid to the Covered Employee shall include any additional amounts necessary to put the Covered Employee in the same after-tax position as if the Company had made COBRA
reimbursements to the Covered Employee. 
 5. Equity Award Benefit. 

5.1 Involuntary Termination Following a Change in Control. If at any time within the Change in Control Determination Period,
(i) a Covered Employee terminates his or her employment with the Company (or any parent or subsidiary of the Company) for Good Reason, or (ii) the Company (or any parent or subsidiary of the Company) terminates such Covered Employee’s
employment for other than Cause, death or permanent disability, then, subject to the Covered Employee’s compliance with Section 7, the Covered Employee shall receive the following equity award acceleration from the Company (in addition to
any Change in Control Severance Benefit provided by Section 4 above): 
 5.1.1 Tier 1 Covered Employee. Fifty
(50) percent of each Tier 1 Covered Employee’s outstanding and unvested equity compensation awards, as determined on such Covered Employee’s date of termination, shall automatically accelerate, all restrictions or repurchase rights
applicable thereto shall immediately lapse, and any performance goals or other vesting criteria applicable thereto shall be deemed achieved at target levels so as to become fully vested and exercisable. The period over which such equity compensation
awards may be exercised shall be governed by the applicable provisions of the Company’s Stock-Plans and related award agreements. 
 5.1.2 Tier 2 and Tier 3 Covered Employees. Twenty-five (25) percent of each Tier 2 Covered Employee’s and each Tier 3 Covered Employee’s outstanding and unvested equity compensation
awards, as determined on such Covered Employee’s date of termination, shall automatically accelerate, all restrictions or repurchase rights applicable thereto shall immediately lapse, and any performance goals or other vesting criteria
applicable thereto shall be deemed achieved at target levels so as to become fully vested and exercisable. The period over which such equity compensation awards may be exercised shall be governed by the applicable provisions of the Company’s
Stock Plans and related award agreements. 
 5.1.3 Tier 4 Covered Employee. The acceleration of vesting upon a Change in
Control of each Tier 4 Covered Employee’s outstanding and unvested equity compensation awards, as determined on such Covered Employee’s date of termination, and the period over which such equity compensation awards may be exercised shall
be governed by the applicable provisions of the Company’s 







 
Stock Plans and related award agreements. 
 6. Parachute Payments.
In the event that the severance and other benefits provided for in this Plan or otherwise payable or provided to the Covered Employee (i) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and (ii) but for this Section 6, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then the Employee’s severance benefits
hereunder 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 the Excise Tax,

 whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the Excise Tax, results in
the receipt by the Covered Employee on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of severance benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such severance benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. Unless the Company and
the Covered Employee otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section 6 shall be made in writing in good faith by the accounting firm serving as the Company’s independent public accountants immediately prior to the
Change in Control (the “Accountants”). In the event of a reduction in benefits hereunder, the reduction will occur in the following order: the vesting acceleration of stock options, then cash severance benefits, then vesting acceleration
of restricted stock awards, and then Company-paid COBRA coverage. In the event that acceleration of vesting of stock options or restricted stock awards is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting shall be cancelled in the reverse order of the
date of grant for the Covered Employee’s stock options or restricted stock awards, as applicable. If two or more stock options or restricted stock awards are granted on the same day, the stock options or restricted stock awards, as applicable,
will be reduced on a pro-rata basis. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 6, 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 Covered 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. The Company shall bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section 6. 

7. Release and Non-Disparagement Agreement. As a condition to receiving Change in Control Severance Benefits or Equity Award
Benefits under this Plan, each Covered Employee will be required to sign and not revoke the form of Release and Non-Disparagement Agreement (the “Release”) attached hereto as Exhibit 1. The Release must be effective no later than sixty
(60) days following the date of the Covered Employee’s Involuntary Termination, inclusive of any revocation period set forth in the Release. 
 8. Timing of Benefits. Change of Control Severance Benefits and Equity Award Benefits shall be paid as soon as administratively practicable following the date of the Covered Employee’s
termination, subject to Section 11 below and the Covered Employee’s compliance with Section 7 above. Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to Section 11 below, if the Covered Employee’s Involuntary Termination occurs on
or before October 15 of a calendar year, his or her cash severance benefits and any other Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits will be paid within ten (10) calendar days after the date of the Covered Employee’s termination or, if
later, on the date the Release becomes effective but on or before December 31 of that calendar year. If the Covered Employee’s Involuntary Termination occurs after October 15 of a calendar year, the Covered Employee’s cash
severance benefits and any other Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits will be paid on the later of (a) the second payroll date in the 







 
calendar year next following the calendar year of the Covered Employee’s Involuntary Termination or (b) the first payroll date following the date his or her Release becomes effective,
subject to Section 11 below. 
 9. Termination of Benefits. Benefits under this Plan shall terminate immediately for
a Covered Employee if such Covered Employee, at any time, violates any proprietary information or confidentiality obligation to the Company or the terms of any applicable non-competition agreement with the Company. 

10. Other Benefit Arrangments. The Change in Control Severance Benefits and Equity Award Benefits provided hereunder shall be in
addition to any other severance and/or retention plan benefits (including, without limitation, provisions applicable to equity-based compensation awards) provided to a Covered Employee under any other plan or arrangement. 

11. Section 409A. 
 11.1 Change in Control Severance Benefits and Equity Award Benefits shall be paid as soon as administratively practicable following the date of the Covered Employee’s termination, subject to the
Covered Employee’s compliance with Section 7. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Deferred Compensation Separation Benefits (as defined below) or other severance benefits that otherwise are exempt from Section 409A (as defined below)
pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9) payable under this Plan will be considered due or payable until the Covered Employee has a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and the final regulations and any guidance promulgated thereunder (together, “Section 409A”). In addition, if the Covered Employee is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A
at the time of the Covered Employee’s separation from service (other than due to death), then the Change in Control Severance Benefits or Equity Award Benefits otherwise due to the Covered Employee under this Plan, if any, that may be
considered deferred compensation under Section 409A, and any other severance payments or separation benefits that may be considered deferred compensation under Section 409A (together, the “Deferred Compensation Separation
Benefits”) otherwise due to the Covered Employee on or within the six (6) month period following the Covered Employee’s termination will accrue during such six (6) month period and will become payable in a lump sum payment on the
date six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of the Covered Employee’s separation from service. All subsequent payments, 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 Covered Employee dies following his separation but prior to the six (6) month anniversary of his date of separation, 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 Covered 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. 
 11.2 It is the intent of this Plan 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan,
including but not limited to Section 16, the Company reserves the right to amend the Plan as it deems necessary or advisable, in its sole discretion and without the consent of the Covered Employees, to comply with Section 409A of the Code
or to otherwise avoid income recognition under Section 409A of the Code prior to the actual payment of Change in Control Severance Benefits or Equity Award Benefits or imposition of any additional tax (provided that no such amendment shall
materially reduce the benefits provided hereunder). 
 12. Vacation Days. Any unused vacation pay accrued as of a Covered
Employee’s date of Involuntary Termination will be paid no later than the date required by applicable law. No Covered 







 
Employee may use any accrued but unused vacation pay to extend his or her Involuntary Termination date or to postpone or delay the start of his or her Severance Period. 

13. Withholding. The Company will withhold from any Change in Control Severance Benefits or Equity Award Benefits all federal,
state, local and other taxes required to be withheld therefrom and any other required payroll deductions. 
 14.
Administration. The Company is the administrator of the Plan (within the meaning of section 3(16)(A) of ERISA). The Plan will be administered and interpreted by the Administrator (in his or her sole discretion). The Administrator is the
“named fiduciary” of the Plan for purposes of ERISA and will be subject to the fiduciary standards of ERISA when acting in such capacity. Any decision made or other action taken by the Administrator with respect to the Plan, and any
interpretation by the Administrator of any term or condition of the Plan, or any related document, will be conclusive and binding on all persons and be given the maximum possible deference allowed by law. The Administrator has the authority to act
for the Company (in a non-fiduciary capacity) as to any matter pertaining to the Plan; provided, however, that this authority does not apply with respect to (a) the Company’s power to amend or terminate the Plan or (b) any
action that could reasonably be expected to increase significantly the cost of the Plan is subject to the prior approval of the Executive Vice President Strategic Operations of the Company. The Administrator may delegate in writing to any other
person all or any portion of his or her authority or responsibility with respect to the Plan. 
 15. Eligibility to
Participate. The Administrator will not be excluded from participating in the Plan if otherwise eligible, but he or she is not entitled to act or pass upon any matters pertaining specifically to his or her own benefit or eligibility under the
Plan. The Executive Vice President, Strategic Operations of TIBCO Software Inc. will act upon any matters pertaining specifically to the benefit or eligibility of the Administrator under the Plan. 

16. Amendment or Termination. The Company reserves the right to amend, modify or terminate the Plan at any time, without advance
notice to any Covered Employee; provided, however, that, prior to a Change in Control, the Company shall provide nine (9) months advance notice to each Covered Employee of any amendment or modification to the Plan with respect to the Change in
Control Severance Benefit or Equity Award Benefit that would be adverse to such Covered Employee with respect to eligibility or the amount of the Change in Control Severance Benefit or Equity Award Benefit payable hereunder. Notwithstanding the
preceding, commencing on the date of a Change in Control, no amendment or termination of the Plan shall reduce the Change in Control Severance Benefit or Equity Award Benefit payable to any Covered Employee who terminates employment on or following
the Change in Control (unless the affected Covered Employee consents to such amendment or termination). Any action of the Company in amending or terminating the Plan will be taken in a non-fiduciary capacity. 

17. Claims Procedure. Any employee or other person who believes he or she is entitled to any payment under the Plan may submit a
claim in writing to the Administrator. If the claim is denied (in full or in part), the claimant will be provided a written notice explaining the specific reasons for the denial and referring to the provisions of the Plan on which the denial is
based. The notice will also describe any additional information needed to support the claim and the Plan’s procedures for appealing the denial. The denial notice will be provided within 90 days after the claim is received. If special
circumstances require an extension of time (up to 90 days), written notice of the extension will be given within the initial 90-day period. This notice of extension will indicate the special circumstances requiring the extension of time and the date
by which the Administrator expects to render its decision on the claim. 
 18. Appeal Procedure. If the claimant’s
claim is denied, the claimant (or his or her authorized representative) may apply in writing to the Administrator for a review of the decision denying 







 
the claim. Review must be requested within 60 days following the date the claimant received the written notice of their claim denial or else the claimant loses the right to review. The claimant
(or representative) then has the right to review and obtain copies of all documents and other information relevant to the claim, upon request and at no charge, and to submit issues and comments in writing. The Administrator will provide written
notice of his or her decision on review within 60 days after it receives a review request. If additional time (up to 60 days) is needed to review the request, the claimant (or representative) will be given written notice of the reason for the delay.
This notice of extension will indicate the special circumstances requiring the extension of time and the date by which the Administrator expects to render its decision. If the claim is denied (in full or in part), the claimant will be provided a
written notice explaining the specific reasons for the denial and referring to the provisions of the Plan on which the denial is based. The notice shall also include a statement that the claimant will be provided, upon request and free of charge,
reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents and other information relevant to the claim and a statement regarding the claimant’s right to bring an action under Section 502(a) of ERISA. 

19. Source of Payments. All Change in Control Severance Benefits will be paid in cash from the general funds of the Company; no
separate fund will be established under the Plan; and the Plan will have no assets. No right of any person to receive any payment under the Plan will be any greater than the right of any other general unsecured creditor of the Company. 

20. Inalienability. In no event may any current or former employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates sell,
transfer, anticipate, assign or otherwise dispose of any right or interest under the Plan. At no time will any such right or interest be subject to the claims of creditors nor liable to attachment, execution or other legal process. 

21. No Enlargement of Employment Rights. Neither the establishment or maintenance of the Plan, any amendment of the Plan, nor the
making of any benefit payment hereunder, will be construed to confer upon any individual any right to be continued as an employee of the Company. The Company expressly reserves the right to discharge any of its employees at any time, with or without
cause. 
 22. Applicable Law. The provisions of the Plan will be construed, administered and enforced in accordance with
ERISA and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the State of California. 
 23. Severability. If any provision of the
Plan is held invalid or unenforceable, its invalidity or unenforceability will not affect any other provision of the Plan, and the Plan will be construed and enforced as if such provision had not been included. 

24. Headings. Headings in this Plan document are for purposes of reference only and will not limit or otherwise affect the meaning
hereof. 
 25. Indemnification. The Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the officers and employees of
the Company, and the members of its boards of directors, from all losses, claims, costs or other liabilities arising from their acts or omissions in connection with the administration, amendment or termination of the Plan, to the maximum extent
permitted by applicable law. This indemnity will cover all such liabilities, including judgments, settlements and costs of defense. The Company will provide this indemnity from its own funds to the extent that insurance does not cover such
liabilities. This indemnity is in addition to and not in lieu of any other indemnity provided to such person by the Company.

 28. Statement of ERISA Rights. 

As a Covered Employee under the Plan, you have certain rights and protections under ERISA: 

(a) You may examine (without charge) all Plan documents, including any amendments and copies of all documents filed with
the U.S. Department of Labor, such as the Plan’s annual report (IRS Form 5500). These documents are available for your review in the Company’s Human Resources Department. 

(b) You may obtain copies of all Plan documents and other Plan information upon written request to the Plan Administrator.
A reasonable charge may be made for such copies. 
 In addition to creating rights for Covered Employees, ERISA imposes duties
upon the people who are responsible for the operation of the Plan. The people who operate the Plan (called “fiduciaries”) have a duty to do so prudently and in the interests of you and the other Covered Employees. No one, including the
Company or any other person, may fire you or otherwise discriminate against you in any way to prevent you from obtaining a benefit under the Plan or exercising your rights under ERISA. If your claim for a severance benefit is denied, in whole or in
part, you must receive a written explanation of the reason for the denial. You have the right to have the denial of your claim reviewed. (The claim review procedure is explained in Sections 17 and 18 above.) 

Under ERISA, there are steps you can take to enforce the above rights. For instance, if you request materials and do not receive them
within 30 days, you may file suit in a federal court. In such a case, the court may require the Plan Administrator to provide the materials and to pay you up to $110 a day until you receive the materials, unless the materials were not sent because
of reasons beyond the control of the Plan Administrator. If you have a claim which is denied or ignored, in whole or in part, you may file suit in a state or federal court. If it should happen that you are discriminated against for asserting your
rights, you may seek assistance from the U.S. Department of Labor, or you may file suit in a federal court. 
 In any case, the
court will decide who will pay court costs and legal fees. If you are successful, the court may order the person you have sued to pay these costs and fees. If you lose, the court may order you to pay these costs and fees, for example, if it finds
that your claim is frivolous. 
 If you have any questions regarding the Plan, please contact the Plan Administrator. If you
have any questions about this statement or about your rights under ERISA, you may contact the nearest area office of the Employee Benefits Security Administration (formerly the Pension and Welfare Benefits Administration), U.S. Department of Labor,
listed in your telephone directory, or the Division of Technical Assistance and Inquiries, Employee Benefits Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20210. You may also obtain certain
publications about your rights and responsibilities under ERISA by calling the publications hotline of the Employee Benefits Security Administration.

RELEASE AND NON-DISPARAGEMENT AGREEMENT 
 RECITALS 
 This Release and Non-Disparagement Agreement (the
“Agreement”) is made by and between [CLICK AND TYPE NAME] (“Employee”) and TIBCO Software Inc. or its subsidiary (the “Company”) (collectively referred to as the “Parties” or individually referred to as a
“Party”): 
 WHEREAS, Employee was employed by the Company; 

WHEREAS, Employee is an eligible participant under the Company’s Change in Control and Severance Plan (the “Plan”);

 WHEREAS, the Employee’s employment with the Company has terminated effective [Click And Type Date] (“Termination
Date”) and Employee shall be eligible to receive benefits under the Plan; and, 
 WHEREAS, the Parties wish to resolve any
and all disputes, claims, complaints, grievances, charges, actions, petitions and demands that the Employee may have against the Company, including, but not limited to, any and all claims arising out of or in any way related to Employee’s
employment with or separation from the Company. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises made herein, the Parties
hereby agree as follows: 
 COVENANTS 
 1. Release of Claims. Employee agrees that the benefits provided by the Plan represents settlement in full of all outstanding obligations owed to Employee by the Company and its current and former
officers, directors, employees, agents, investors, attorneys, shareholders, founders, administrators, affiliates, divisions, subsidiaries, predecessor and successor corporations and assigns (the “Releasees”). Employee, on his/her own
behalf, and on behalf of his/her respective heirs, family members, executors, agents, and assigns, hereby and forever releases the Releasees from, and agrees not to sue concerning, or in any manner to institute, prosecute or pursue, any claim,
complaint, charge, 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 against any of the Releasees arising from any omissions, acts or
facts or damages 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; 

  
 1 








 (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; 
 (c) any and all claims for wrongful discharge of employment; constructive discharge; termination in violation of public
policy; discrimination; harassment; retaliation; 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,
except as prohibited by law; the Fair Credit Reporting Act; the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974; the Family and Medical Leave Act, except as prohibited by law; the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act; the Older Workers
Benefit Protection Act; the California Fair Employment and Housing Act; the California Labor Code and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; 
 (e) any and all claims for violation of the federal, or any state, constitution; 

(f) any and all claims arising out of any other laws and regulations relating to employment or employment discrimination; 

(g) any claim for any loss, cost, damage, or expense arising out of any dispute over the non-withholding or other tax treatment of any of
the proceeds received by Employee as a result of this Agreement; and 
 (h) any and all claims for attorneys’ fees and
costs. 
 Employee agrees that the release set forth in this section shall be and remain in effect in all respects as a complete
general release as to the matters released. This release does not extend to any obligations incurred under this Agreement or the Plan. This release does not release claims that cannot be released as a matter of law, including, but not limited to
Employee’s right to file a charge with or participate in a charge by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, or any other local, state, or federal administrative body or government agency that is authorized to enforce or administer laws
related to employment, against the Company (with the understanding that any such filing or participation does not give Employee the right to recover any monetary damages against the Company; Employee’s release of claims herein bars Employee
from recovering such monetary relief from the Company). 
 2. [Include Only if Age 40 or Over] Acknowledgement of Waiver of
Claims Under ADEA. Employee acknowledges that he/she is waiving and releasing any rights he/she may have under the 

  
 2 








 
Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (“ADEA”), and that this waiver and release is knowing and voluntary. Employee agrees 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 under the Plan for this waiver and release is in addition to anything of value to which Employee was
already entitled. Employee further acknowledges that he/she has been advised by this writing that: (a) he/she should consult with an attorney prior to executing this Agreement; (b) he/she has forty-five (45) days within which
to consider this Agreement; (c) as set forth in the Decisional Unit Information Letter attached hereto as Exhibit A, he/she has been advised in writing by the Company of the decisional unit for this reduction in force, as well as the class,
unit, or group of individuals affected, and the job titles and ages of all individuals who were and were not affected; (d) he/she has seven (7) days following his/her execution of this Agreement to revoke this Agreement; (e) this
Agreement shall not be effective until after the revocation period has expired; and (f) nothing in this Agreement prevents or precludes Employee from challenging or seeking a determination in good faith of the validity of this waiver under the
ADEA, nor does it impose any condition precedent, penalties, or costs for doing so, unless specifically authorized by federal law. In the event Employee signs this Agreement and returns it to the Company in less than the 45-day period identified
above, Employee hereby acknowledges that he/she has freely and voluntarily chosen to waive the time period allotted for considering this Agreement. Employee acknowledges and understands that revocation must be accomplished by delivery of a written
notification to [insert contact information for appropriate Company representative – e.g., HR and contact information] prior to the Effective Date. 
 3. Civil Code Section 1542. The Employee represents that the Employee is not aware of any claim by him/her other than the claims that are released by this Agreement. Employee acknowledges that
he/she has been advised by legal counsel and is familiar with the provisions of 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 FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS
SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR. 
 Employee, being aware of said code section, agrees to expressly waive any rights Employee may have thereunder, as
well as under any other statute or common law principles of similar effect. 
 4. No Pending or Future Lawsuits. Employee
represents that Employee has no lawsuits, claims, or actions pending in his/her name, or on behalf of any other person or entity, against the Company or any of the other Releasees. Employee also represents that Employee does not intend to bring any
claims on Employee’s own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity against the Company or any of the other Releasees. 
 5. Non-Disparagement. Employee agrees to refrain from any disparagement, defamation, libel or slander of any of the Releasees, or any tortious interference with the contracts, relationships and
prospective economic advantage of any of the Releasees. Employee agrees that Employee shall direct all inquiries by potential future employers to the Company’s Human Resources Department. 

  
 3 








 Upon inquiry, the Company shall only state the following: Employee’s last position and dates of
employment. 
 6. Severability. In the event that any provision, or any portion thereof, 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 or portion of said provision. 

7. Attorneys’ Fees. Except as provided in paragraph 2 hereof, in the event that either Party brings an action to enforce or
effect its rights under this Agreement, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover its costs and expenses, including the costs of mediation, arbitration, litigation, court fees, plus reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection
with such an action, except as prohibited by law. 
 8. No Waiver. The failure of the Company to insist upon the
performance of any of the terms and conditions in this Agreement, or the failure to prosecute any breach of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, shall not be construed thereafter as a waiver of any such terms or conditions. This entire
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect as if no such forbearance or failure of performance had occurred. 
 9. No
Oral Modification. This Agreement may only be amended in a writing signed by Employee and an authorized representative of the Company. 
 10. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed, interpreted, governed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to choice-of-law provisions. Employee
hereby consents to personal and exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the State of California. 
 11.
Effective Date. Employee has seven (7) days after he/she signs this Agreement to revoke it. This Agreement will become effective on the eighth (8th) day after Employee signed this Agreement, so long as it has been signed by both Parties and has not been revoked
before that date (the “Effective Date”). 
 12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts
and by facsimile, and each counterpart and facsimile shall have the same force and effect as an original and shall constitute an effective, binding agreement on the part of each of the undersigned. 

13. Voluntary Execution of Agreement. Employee understands and agrees that he/she executed this Agreement voluntarily, without any
duress or undue influence on the part or behalf of the Company or any third party, with the full intent of releasing all of his/her claims against the Company and any of the other Releasees. Employee acknowledges that: 

(a) he/she has read this Agreement; 
 (b) he/she has been represented in the preparation, negotiation, and execution of this Agreement by legal counsel of his/her own choice or that he/she has voluntarily declined to seek such counsel;
