 Exhibit 10.13 
  
 SEVERANCE AGREEMENT 
  
 This Severance Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into effective as of June 16, 2003 by and between Randall Bolten (the “Executive”) and
Phoenix Technologies Ltd., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). 
  
 RECITALS 
  

	A.	Management of the Company believes that it is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders to provide the Executive with certain severance benefits should
Executive’s employment with the Company terminate under certain circumstances. Such benefits will provide Executive with enhanced financial security and with sufficient incentive and encouragement for Executive to remain with the Company.


  

	B.	To accomplish the foregoing objectives, the Company will, upon execution of this Agreement by the parties, agree to the terms provided herein. 

  

	C.	Certain capitalized terms used in the Agreement are defined in Section 7 below. 

  
 AGREEMENT 
  
 In consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, and in consideration of the continuing employment of Executive by the Company, the parties
agree as follows: 
  

	 	1.	Duties and Scope of Employment. The Company currently employs Executive as Senior Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer. The Executive shall comply with and be
bound by the Company’s operating policies, procedures and practices from time to time in effect during his employment. Executive shall continue to devote his full time, skill and attention to her duties and responsibilities, and shall perform
them faithfully, diligently and competently, and the Executive shall use his best efforts to further the business of the Company and its affiliated entities. 

  

	 	2.	Base Compensation. The Company shall continue to pay Executive as compensation for his services a base salary in accordance with normal Company payroll practices (“Base
Compensation”). The Base Compensation may be increased from time to time, in which case the “Base Compensation” will refer to the base salary earned by Executive at the time in question. 

  

	 	3.	Executive Benefits. The Executive shall be eligible to participate in the employee benefit plans and executive compensation programs maintained by the Company applicable to
other key executives of the Company, including (without limitation) retirement plans, savings or profit-sharing plans, stock options, incentive or other bonus plans, life, disability, health, accident and other insurance programs, paid vacations,
and similar plans or programs, subject in each case to the generally applicable terms and conditions of the applicable plan or program in question and to the sole determination of the Board or any committee administering such plan or program.











	 	(a)	Stock Option Grants. Executive will receive an annual grant of stock options during the term of this Agreement in a manner and under terms that are consistent with grants
made to other executives of the Company. 

  

	 	(b)	Bonus Eligibility and Payment. Executive is currently eligible to receive a bonus based on application of the terms of the executive bonus plan (i.e. if the Company fails to
meet minimum financial objectives or Executive fails to complete personal objectives under the plan, no bonus will be paid). Such bonus, if any, will be paid to Executive at approximately the same time other Company Executives receive their bonuses.


  

	 	4.	Term of Agreement. The terms of this Agreement shall terminate on the date that all obligations of the parties hereunder have been satisfied. A termination of the terms of
this Agreement pursuant to this Section shall be effective for all purposes. 

  

	 	5.	Severance Benefits. 

  

	 	(a)	Termination Not for Cause. If the Company terminates Executive’s employment for any reason other than Cause, or terminates Executive by Constructive Termination as
defined in this Agreement, the Executive shall be entitled to receive the following severance benefits: 

  

	 	(i)	Severance Payments. 

  

	 	(1)	Guaranteed Severance Payments. Subject to Executive entering into a Release of Claims (in a form substantially similar to the release of claims attached as Exhibit A),
Executive shall be entitled to receive severance payments for six (6) months from the date of termination at Executive’s then current base salary, which may be greater than, but will not be less than the Base Compensation (the “Guaranteed
Severance Payment”). The Guaranteed Severance Payment will be paid to Executive in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll practices. 

  

	 	(2)	ProRata Bonus. Upon termination, Executive will also be entitled to receive a pro rate portion of his then current targeted bonus for the fiscal year following his
termination, if bonuses are paid to other Executives. Payment will be determined as described in Section 3(b) above. 










	 	(ii)	Medical Benefits. The Company, at the Company’s sole expense, shall provide Executive (and, if applicable, his eligible dependents) with the same level of health
coverage and benefits as in effect for Executive (and, if applicable, his eligible dependents) on the day immediately preceding the day of the Executive’s termination of employment (the “Company-Paid Coverage”); provided, however,
that (i) Executive and each eligible dependent constitutes a qualified beneficiary, as defined in Section 4980B(g)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (collectively, “Qualified Beneficiaries”); (ii) each Qualified
Beneficiary elects continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), within the time period prescribed pursuant to COBRA; and (iii) if the health coverage is no longer offered by
the Company to its current employees, then the Company shall be under no obligation to continue the existing coverage for Executive (and, if applicable, his eligible dependents). Such Company-Paid Coverage shall continue in effect for each Qualified
Beneficiary until the earlier of (i) the Qualified Beneficiary is no longer eligible to receive continuation coverage under COBRA, or (ii) six (6) months following termination of employment pursuant to Section 5(a). 

  

	 	(iii)	Change in Control. In the event the Company undergoes a Change in Control, or other material event in that the Company or Key Executive’s position undergoes a material
change as a result of the material event, Key Executive’s stock options will accelerate vesting such that that portion of Key Executive’s stock options that should have vested during the first year of Key Executive’s employment, will
immediately vest. If there is an inconsistency between this Agreement and the Company’s Stock Option Plan or a Stock Option Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail. 

  

	 	(b)	Voluntary Resignation; Termination For Cause. If the Executive voluntarily resigns from the Company, or if the Company terminates the Executive’s employment for Cause,
then the Executive shall not be entitled to receive severance or other benefits pursuant to this Agreement. However, Executive shall remain eligible for other benefits (if any) as may then be available under the Company’s then existing policies
or required by law at the time of Executive’s termination. 

  

	 	(c)	Disability; Death. If the Company terminates the Executive’s employment as a result of the Executive’s Disability or if the Executive’s employment terminates
due to the death of the Executive, then the Executive shall not be entitled to receive severance or other benefits pursuant to this Agreement. However, Executive shall remain eligible for other benefits (if any) as may be available under the
Company’s then existing policies or required by law at the time of Executive’s termination or death. 










	 	6.	Covenants Not to Compete and Not to Solicit. 

  

	 	(a)	Upon the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company pursuant to Section 5(a) and for a period of eighteen (18) months thereafter, Executive agrees that he shall
not, on his own behalf, or as owner, manager, advisor, principal, agent, partner, consultant, director, officer, stockholder, or employee of any business entity, or otherwise in any territory in which the Company is actively engaged in business (i)
open or operate any business which is in competition with any business of the Company, (ii) act as an employee, agent, advisor or consultant or any competitor of the Company, (iii) solicit or accept business from any of the Company’s
competitors, (iv) take any action to or do anything reasonably intended to divert business from the Company or influence or attempt to influence any existing customers of the Company to cease doing business with the Company or to alter its business
relationship with the Company, or (v) take any action or do anything reasonably intended to influence any suppliers of the Company to cease doing business with the Company or to alter its business relationship with the Company. Executive further
covenants and agrees that he will not for himself or on behalf of any other person, partnership, firm, association or corporation in any territory served by the Company, directly or indirectly solicit or accept business from any of the
Company’s existing customers for the purchase or sale of products or services of a like kind to those sold or provided the Company. The foregoing covenant shall not be deemed to prohibit Executive from acquiring an investment not more than one
percent (1%) of the capital stock of a competing business, whose stock is traded on a national securities exchange or through the automated quotation system of a registered securities association. 

  

	 	(b)	Upon the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company pursuant to Section 5(a) and for a period of eighteen (18) months thereafter, Executive agrees that he shall
not either directly or indirectly solicit, induce, attempt to hire, recruit, encourage, take away, hire any employee of the Company or cause any employee of the Company to leave his or her employment either for Executive or for any other entity or
person. 

  

	 	(c)	Executive represents that he (i) is familiar with the foregoing covenants not to compete and not to solicit, and (ii) is fully aware of his obligations hereunder, including, without
limitation, the reasonableness of the length of time, scope and geographic coverage of these covenants. 

  

	 	(d)	Company will respond within two weeks to any written request by Executive to exclude a particular company or business entity from the scope of this Section 6. Company will not
unreasonably deny such a request. The parties agree that a passive financial investment by Executive in a third party will not constitute competition within the scope of this Section 6.

	 	(a)	Cause. “Cause” shall mean (i) any act of personal dishonesty taken by the Executive in connection with his responsibilities as an Executive and intended to result

representative (such Agreement as to acceptability not to be unreasonably withheld). Termination resulting from Disability may only be effected after at least 30 days’ written notice by the Company of its intention to terminate the
