Exhibit 10.1+ 
SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND RELEASE


This Separation Agreement and Release (“Agreement”) is made by and between Simon Biddiscombe (“Employee”) and ServiceSource International, Inc. (the “Company”) (collectively referred to as the “Parties” or individually referred to as a “Party”).


RECITALS
    
WHEREAS, Employee will move from the Chief Financial Officer role to Chief Strategy Officer, starting on April 6, 2015; 


WHEREAS, Employee’s employment with the Company will end on June 30, 2015, unless terminated earlier by Employee (the “Separation Date”) and Employee will continue with the Company as a consultant through September 30, 2015, on terms as stated in the Consulting Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A;


WHEREAS, Employee signed an Employment and Confidential Information Agreement with the Company dated on or around September 29, 2014, which included, among other things, specific terms related to a separation from the Company (the “Employment Agreement”);


WHEREAS, Employee also signed the Company’s Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement;


WHEREAS, Employee was granted various options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (“Options”), restricted stock units covering shares of the Company’s common stock (“RSU Awards,” together with the Options, the “Equity Awards”), all subject to stock option and restricted stock unit agreements memorializing the grants (the “Equity Agreements”) and the terms and conditions of the Company’s 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (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 and any of the Releasees as defined below, 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 mutual promises made herein, the Company and Employee hereby agree as follows:


COVENANTS


1.    Base Salary Severance.  Employee shall receive $180,000 (six months of Employee’s current base salary), made in a single lump sum payment in cash, subject to all applicable withholding requirements. This payment will be made to Employee as soon as administratively practicable on or immediately following the Separation Date.


2.    Retention Payment.  Employee will receive an additional $25,000 in recognition for his service from April 1, 2015 through June 30, 2015.  This payment will be made to Employee as soon as administratively practicable on or immediately following the date the Supplemental Release attached hereto as Exhibit B becomes effective; however, if the Separation Date is earlier than June 30, 2015 then Employee will receive a prorated portion of this payment based on the days employed during this three (3) month period.











3.    CIP Payment.  Provided the Supplemental Release becomes effective, Employee will be paid for CIP earned while an employee, even if not employed on the pay-out date, as required by the CIP plan.  For example, if Employee’s employment ends on June 30, 2015 then employee will receive CIP earned for 2015 H1, to be paid out per the normal pay cycle in or around August 2015 based on company achievement per the standard plan.


4.    Equity Acceleration.  Employee’s outstanding equity compensation awards (including, without limitation, all stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and any other equity compensation awards) will continue to vest through the Consulting Agreement term (through September 30, 2015).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Employee’s employment and Consulting Agreement are terminated prior to September 30, 2015, then Employee shall have his vesting accelerated so that Employee will have received one full year of vesting from his initial equity grants. For clarity, this means that Employee will vest in 62,500 stock options and 50,000 RSUs.  


5.    COBRA Coverage.  Except as documented herein, Employee’s participation in all benefits and incidents of employment will cease as of the Separation Date.  As soon as administratively practicable on or immediately following the Separation Date, Employee shall be entitled to receive an additional lump-sum payment (less applicable withholding taxes) equal to the result of (A) times (B).  For this purpose, “A” will equal six (6), and “B” will equal the amount of the monthly premium that would be required for the first month of coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended and all applicable regulations (referred to collectively as “COBRA”), with the premium calculated on the assumption that the Employee in fact elects coverage for himself, and any eligible spouse and/or dependents of the Employee that were enrolled in the applicable Company health plan immediately prior to the employment termination date.


6.    Payment of Salary and Receipt of All Benefits.  Employee acknowledges and represents that, other than the consideration set forth in this Agreement, the Company has paid or provided all salary, wages, bonuses, accrued vacation/paid time off, premiums, leaves, housing allowances, relocation costs, interest, severance, outplacement costs, fees, reimbursable expenses, commissions, stock, stock options, vesting, and any and all other benefits and compensation due to Employee.  


7.    Release of Claims.  Employee agrees that the foregoing consideration 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, administrators, affiliates, benefit plans, plan administrators, insurers, trustees, divisions, and subsidiaries, and predecessor and successor corporations and assigns (collectively, the “Releasees”).  Employee, on his own behalf and on behalf of his 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, demand, 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, 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; 


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; termination in violation of public policy; discrimination; harassment; retaliation; breach of contract, both express and implied; breach of covenant of good faith and fair dealing, both express and implied; promissory estoppel; negligent or intentional infliction of emotional distress; fraud; 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; conversion; and disability benefits;


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 Rehabilitation Act of 1973; the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990; the Equal Pay Act; the Fair Labor Standards Act; the Fair Credit Reporting Act; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967; the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act; the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974; the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act; the Family and Medical Leave Act; the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; the Immigration Control and Reform Act; the California Family Rights Act; the California Labor Code; the California Workers’ Compensation Act; and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act; 


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 nonwithholding 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.  This release does not extend to any claim for indemnification Employee may have under applicable laws, under the applicable constituent documents (including bylaws and certificate of incorporation) of the Company, under any applicable insurance policy the Company may maintain, or any under any other written agreement or arrangement with the Company with respect to any liability, costs or expenses the Executive incurs or has incurred as an officer or employee of the Company.  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).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee acknowledges that any and all disputed wage claims that are released herein shall be subject to binding arbitration as set forth herein, except as required by applicable law.  Employee represents that he has made no assignment or transfer of any right, claim, complaint, charge, duty, obligation, demand, cause of action, or other matter waived or released by this Section.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, nothing in this release limits the Employee’s rights to indemnification by the Company that the Employee may have pursuant to any contract, the organizational documents of the Company 









and its subsidiaries, any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy or pursuant to applicable law.


8.    Acknowledgment of Waiver of Claims under ADEA.  Employee acknowledges that he is waiving and releasing any rights he may have under the 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 for this waiver and release is in addition to anything of value to which Employee was already entitled.  Employee further acknowledges that he has been advised by this writing that: (a) he should consult with an attorney prior to executing this Agreement; (b) he has twenty-one (21) days within which to consider this Agreement; (c) he has seven (7) days following his execution of this Agreement to revoke this Agreement; (d) this Agreement shall not be effective until after the revocation period has expired; and (e) 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 21-day period identified above, Employee hereby acknowledges that he 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 a written notification to the person executing this Agreement on the Company’s behalf that is received prior to the Effective Date.  The parties agree that changes, whether material or immaterial, do not restart the running of the 21-day period.


9.    California Civil Code Section 1542.  Employee acknowledges that he has been advised to consult with legal counsel and is familiar with the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542, a statute that otherwise prohibits the release of unknown claims, which provides as follows:


A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.


Employee, being aware of said code section, agrees to expressly waive any rights he may have thereunder, as well as under any other statute or common law principles of similar effect.


10.    No Pending or Future Lawsuits.  Employee represents that he has no lawsuits, claims, or actions pending in his name, or on behalf of any other person or entity, against the Company or any of the other Releasees. Employee also represents that he does not intend to bring any claims on his own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity against the Company or any of the other Releasees.


11.    No Re-Employment.  Employee understands and agrees that, as a condition of this Agreement, Employee shall not be entitled to any employment with the Company, and Employee hereby waives any right, or alleged right, of employment or re-employment with the Company.  


12.    Confidentiality.  Employee agrees to maintain in complete confidence the existence of this Agreement, the contents and terms of this Agreement, and the consideration for this Agreement (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Separation Information”), unless and until this Agreement is publicly disclosed pursuant to Company’s public disclosure requirements.  Except as required by law, Employee may disclose Separation Information only to his immediate family members, the Court in any proceedings to enforce the terms of this Agreement, Employee’s attorney(s), and Employee’s accountant and any professional tax advisor to the extent that they need to know the Separation Information in order to provide advice on tax treatment 









or to prepare tax returns, and must prevent disclosure of any Separation Information to all other third parties.  Employee agrees that he will not publicize, directly or indirectly, any Separation Information.


Employee acknowledges and agrees that the confidentiality of the Separation Information is of the essence.  The Parties agree that if the Company proves that Employee breached this Confidentiality provision, the Company shall be entitled to an award of its costs spent enforcing this provision, including all reasonable attorneys’ fees associated with the enforcement action, without regard to whether the Company can establish actual damages from Employee’s breach, except to the extent that such breach constitutes a legal action by Employee that directly pertains to the ADEA. Any such individual breach or disclosure shall not excuse Employee from his obligations hereunder, nor permit him to make additional disclosures.  Employee warrants that he has not disclosed, orally or in writing, directly or indirectly, any of the Separation Information to any unauthorized party.


13.    Trade Secrets and Confidential Information/Company Property.  Employee reaffirms and agrees to observe and abide by Section 7 of the Employment Agreement (“Proprietary and Confidential Information (Including Trade Secrets).  Employee further agrees at all times hereafter to hold in the strictest confidence, and not to use or disclose to any person or entity, any Confidential Information of the Company.  Employee understands that “Confidential Information” means any Company proprietary information, technical data, trade secrets or know-how, including, but not limited to, research, product plans, products, services, customer lists and customers (including, but not limited to, customers of the Company on whom Employee has called or with whom he became acquainted during the term of his employment), markets, software, developments, inventions, processes, formulas, technology, designs, drawings, engineering, hardware configuration information, marketing, finances, or other business information disclosed to Employee by the Company either directly or indirectly, in writing, orally, or by drawings or observation of parts or equipment.  Employee further understands that Confidential Information does not include any of the foregoing items that have become publicly known and made generally available through no wrongful act of Employee’s or of others who were under confidentiality obligations as to the item or items involved or improvements or new versions thereof.  Employee hereby grants consent to notification by the Company to any new employer about Employee’s obligations under this paragraph.  Employee represents that he has not to date misused or disclosed Confidential Information to any unauthorized party.  


14.    No Cooperation.  Employee agrees that he will not knowingly encourage, counsel, or assist any attorneys or their clients in the presentation or prosecution of any disputes, differences, grievances, claims, charges, or complaints by any third party against any of the Releasees, unless under a subpoena or other court order to do so or as related directly to the ADEA waiver in this Agreement. Employee agrees both to immediately notify the Company upon receipt of any such subpoena or court order, and to furnish, within three (3) business days of its receipt, a copy of such subpoena or other court order.  If approached by anyone for counsel or assistance in the presentation or prosecution of any disputes, differences, grievances, claims, charges, or complaints against any of the Releasees, Employee shall state no more than that he cannot provide counsel or assistance.


15.    Nondisparagement.  Employee agrees to refrain from any disparagement, defamation, libel, or slander of any of the Releasees, and agrees to refrain from any tortious interference with the contracts and relationships of any of the Releasees.  Employee shall direct any inquiries by potential future employers to the Company’s human resources department.


16.    Breach.  In addition to the rights provided in the “Attorneys’ Fees” section below, Employee acknowledges and agrees that any material breach of this Agreement, unless such breach constitutes a legal action by Employee challenging or seeking a determination in good faith of the validity of the waiver herein under the ADEA, or of any provision of the Confidentiality Agreement shall entitle the Company immediately 









to recover and/or cease providing the consideration provided to Employee under this Agreement and to obtain damages, except as provided by law.


17.    No Admission of Liability.  Employee understands and acknowledges that this Agreement constitutes a compromise and settlement of any and all actual or potential disputed claims by Employee.  No action taken by the Company hereto, 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 actual or potential claims or (b) an acknowledgment or admission by the Company of any fault or liability whatsoever to Employee or to any third party.


18.    Nonsolicitation.  Employee agrees that for a period of twelve (12) months immediately following the Separation Date of this Agreement, Employee shall not directly or indirectly solicit any of the Company’s employees to leave their employment at the Company.  


19.    Costs.  The Parties shall each bear their own costs, attorneys’ fees, and other fees incurred in connection with the preparation of this Agreement.

TO THE EXTENT THAT THE JAMS RULES CONFLICT WITH CALIFORNIA LAW, CALIFORNIA LAW SHALL TAKE PRECEDENCE.  THE DECISION OF THE ARBITRATOR SHALL BE FINAL, CONCLUSIVE, AND BINDING ON THE PARTIES TO THE ARBITRATION.  THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE PREVAILING PARTY IN ANY ARBITRATION SHALL BE ENTITLED TO INJUNCTIVE RELIEF IN ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO ENFORCE THE ARBITRATION AWARD.  THE PARTIES TO THE ARBITRATION SHALL EACH PAY AN EQUAL SHARE OF THE COSTS AND EXPENSES OF SUCH ARBITRATION, AND EACH PARTY SHALL SEPARATELY PAY FOR ITS RESPECTIVE COUNSEL FEES AND EXPENSES; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE ARBITRATOR SHALL AWARD ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COSTS TO THE PREVAILING PARTY, EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY LAW.  THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE TO WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN THEM RESOLVED IN A COURT OF LAW BY A JUDGE OR JURY.  NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THIS SECTION WILL NOT PREVENT EITHER PARTY FROM SEEKING INJUNCTIVE RELIEF (OR ANY OTHER PROVISIONAL REMEDY) FROM ANY COURT HAVING JURISDICTION OVER THE PARTIES AND THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THEIR DISPUTE RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE AGREEMENTS INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE.

24.    Severability.

25.    Attorneys’ Fees.  Except with regard to a legal action challenging or seeking a determination in good faith of the validity of the waiver herein under the ADEA, 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, and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with such an action.

B.    Nonuse and Nondisclosure. During and after the term of this Agreement, Consultant will hold in the strictest confidence, and take all reasonable precautions to prevent any unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information, and Consultant will not (i) use the Confidential Information for any purpose whatsoever other than as necessary for the performance of the Services on behalf of the Company, or (ii) disclose the Confidential Information to any third party without the prior written consent of an authorized representative of Company, except that Consultant may disclose Confidential Information to the extent compelled by applicable law.

SUPPLEMENTAL RELEASE AGREEMENT


In consideration for the mutual promises and consideration provided both herein and in the Separation Agreement and Release (the “Separation Agreement”) between Simon Biddiscombe (“Employee”) and ServiceSource International, Inc. (the “Company”) (collectively referred to as the “Parties” or individually referred to as a “Party”) the Parties hereby extend by this Supplemental Release Agreement (the “Agreement”) the release and waiver provisions in the Separation Agreement to any and all claims that may have arisen between the Effective Date of the Separation Agreement and the Effective Date of this Agreement, and to add such releases and waivers as provided herein, expressly including but not limited to a waiver of any federal age related claims under the ADEA.


1.    Release.  The undersigned Parties expressly acknowledge and agree that the terms of the Separation Agreement shall apply equally to this Agreement, shall be construed to be extended through the Effective Date of this Agreement, and are incorporated by reference herein.  Employee agrees that the consideration provided in the Separation Agreement represents settlement in full of all outstanding obligations owed to Employee by the Company, its subsidiaries, parent companies, predecessors, successors or any direct or indirect related corporation or any current or former officers, directors, employees, agents, investors, attorneys, shareholders, administrators, affiliates, benefit plans, plan administrators, insurers, trustees, divisions or assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Releasees”).  Employee, on Employee’s own behalf and on behalf of Employee’s 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, facts, or damages that have occurred up until and including the Effective Date of this Agreement.


2.    California Civil Code Section 1542.  Employee acknowledges that Employee has been advised to consult with legal counsel and is familiar with the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542, a statute that otherwise prohibits the release of unknown claims, which provides as follows:


A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.


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.


3.    ADEA Waiver.  Employee acknowledges that Employee is waiving and releasing any rights Employee may have under the 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 for this waiver and release 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 twenty-one (21) days from the Separation Date (as defined in the Separation Agreement) within which to consider this Agreement; (c) Employee has seven (7) days 









following Employee’s execution of this Agreement to revoke this Agreement; (d) this Agreement shall not be effective until after the revocation period has expired; and (e) 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 21-day period identified above, Employee hereby acknowledges that Employee 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 a written notification to the person executing this Agreement on the Company’s behalf that is received prior to the Effective Date.  The parties agree that changes, whether material or immaterial, do not restart the running of the 21-day period.


4.    Effective Date.  Employee understands that this Agreement shall be null and void if not executed by him within the twenty-one (21) day period set forth under paragraph 3 above. Each Party has seven (7) days after that Party 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 the Parties and has not been revoked by Employee before that date (the “Effective Date”).


5.    Voluntary Execution.  Employee understands and agrees that Employee 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 Employee’s claims against the Company and any of the other Releasees.  Employee acknowledges that: (a) Employee has read this Agreement; (b) Employee has been represented in the preparation, negotiation, and execution of this Agreement by legal counsel of Employee’s own choice or has elected not to retain legal counsel; (c) Employee understands the terms and consequences of this Agreement and of the releases it contains; and (d) Employee is fully aware of the legal and binding effect of this Separation Agreement.


6.    Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, together with the Separation Agreement referenced herein (and any agreements survived thereunder), represents the entire agreement and understanding between the Company and Employee concerning the subject matter of this Agreement and Employee’s employment with the Company, and the termination of such relationship from the Company and the events leading thereto and associated therewith, and supersedes and replaces any and all prior agreements and understandings concerning the subject matter of this Agreement and Employee’s relationship with the Company.


7.    Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard for choice-of-law provisions.  Employee consents to personal and exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the State of California.


IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have executed this Agreement on the respective dates set forth below.
