Amended and Restated Executive Retention and Severance Plan

 Exhibit 10.3 
 GUIDANCE SOFTWARE, INC. 
 AMENDED AND
RESTATED 
 EXECUTIVE RETENTION AND SEVERANCE PLAN 
 SECTION 1. PURPOSE. The purpose of the Guidance Software, Inc. Amended and Restated Executive Retention and Severance Plan (the
“Plan”) is to promote the interests of Guidance Software, Inc. (the “Company”) and its stockholders by attracting and retaining exceptional executive personnel and other key employees of the Company. The Board of
Directors of the Company (the “Board”) recognizes that the possibility or pending occurrence of a Change of Control could lead to uncertainty regarding the consequences of such an event and could adversely affect the Company’s
ability to attract, retain and motivate its officers and other key employees. The Board has therefore determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to provide for the continued dedication of its officers and key
employees notwithstanding the possibility or occurrence of a Change of Control by establishing this Plan to provide designated officers and key employees with enhanced financial security in the event of a Change of Control. The Plan is designed to
provide its Participants with specified compensation and benefits in the event of a Change of Control or termination of employment under circumstances specified herein upon or following a Change of Control. Effective as of December 19, 2008,
this Plan amends and restates in its entirety the Guidance Software, Inc. Executive Retention and Severance Plan, dated April 20, 2005. 
 SECTION 2. DEFINITIONS. As used in the Plan, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below: 
 A. “Cause” means (i) Participant’s failure to render services to the Company or its subsidiaries in accordance with Participant’s assigned duties and responsibilities, and such failure of performance
continues for a period of more than fifteen days after notice thereof has been provided to Participant by the Company (other than any such failure resulting from Participant’s disability); (ii) any action or omission by Participant
involving willful misconduct or gross negligence relating to Participant’s duties and responsibilities to the Company or its affiliates, including without limitation, disloyalty, dishonesty or breach of fiduciary duty;
(iii) Participant’s commission of (as determined by the Company) or indictment for a crime, either in connection with the performance of Participant’s obligations to the Company or its affiliates or which otherwise shall adversely
affect Participant’s ability to perform such obligations or which shall adversely affect the business activities, reputation, goodwill or image of the Company or its affiliates; (iv) Participant’s breach of any material obligation
Participant has under any written agreement with the Company or its affiliates or which has been delegated to Participant by the Company which, if capable of cure, is not cured within five days from receipt of notice from the Company; or
(v) any act of fraud, embezzlement, theft or misappropriation from the Company or its affiliates by Participant. 
 B. “Change of Control” means a Corporate Transaction other than a merger, consolidation or other capital reorganization in which the holders of more than fifty percent (50%) of the shares of capital stock of the
Company outstanding immediately prior to such transaction continue to hold (either by the voting securities remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than fifty percent (50%) of the total
voting power represented by the voting securities of the Company, or such surviving entity, outstanding immediately after such transaction. 

 C. “Constructive Termination” means Participant’s voluntary
termination, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Company, within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of any of the following events without the Participant’s prior written consent: (1) a reduction by the Company of
the Participant’s base compensation by greater than five percent (5%); (2) the Company (or, as applicable, the successor or surviving entity) following a Change of Control does not continue Participant’s employment in a senior
position for the business that constitutes the Company’s operations immediately prior to the Change of Control with the same or greater authority, duties, and responsibilities as those held by the Participant immediately prior to the Change of
Control; or (3) Participant is required to report for work in person on a regular and daily basis at a facility or location more than thirty-five (35) miles from Participant’s current office location. 
 D. “Corporate Transaction” means the Company becoming majority owned by another corporation or entity, or a sale of
all or substantially all of the Company’s stock or assets, or a merger, consolidation or other capital reorganization of the Company with or into another corporation. 
 E. “Participant” means any employee of the Company selected by the Board to be eligible to receive benefits under
the Plan (and to the extent applicable, any heirs or legal representatives thereof). 
 F. “Participation
Agreement” means an agreement to participate in the Plan substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A or in such other form as the Board may approve from time to time; provided, however, that, after a Participation
Agreement has been entered into between a Participant and the Company, it may be modified only by a supplemental written agreement executed by both Participant and the Company. 
 SECTION 3. ELIGIBILITY. The Board shall designate those officers and key employees who shall be eligible to become Participants in the Plan. 
 SECTION 4. CHANGE OF CONTROL. In the event of a Change of Control, the following provisions will apply: 
 A. Subject to Section 4.D. below, if, during the two (2)-year period immediately following the closing of a Change of Control,
Participant incurs a “separation from service” from the Company (within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and Treasury Regulation
Section 1.409A-l(h)) (a “Separation from Service”) by reason of a termination of Participant’s employment by the Company without Cause, or by Participant as the result of a Constructive Termination, then: 
 1. The Company shall pay Participant a lump sum, one-time payment equal to twice Participant’s annual base salary in effect on
the date of Participant’s Separation from Service, plus an amount equal to any tax imposed on such payment under Section 4999 of the Code (but not grossed up further with respect to any such tax imposed on any other payment to Participant
or any tax imposed on the tax gross-up payment itself) (such aggregate amount, the “Change of Control Payment”), payable within fifteen (15) days after the date of Participant’s Separation from Service (with the exact
payment date to be determined by the Company in its discretion); 
  

 2 

 2. For a period of twenty-four (24) months immediately following the date of
Participant’s Separation from Service (the “Continuation Period”), the Company shall provide medical insurance, dental insurance and vision insurance (collectively, the “Health Insurance Benefits”) to
Participant at the same premium cost to Participant and at the same coverage level as in effect immediately preceding the date of Participant’s termination of employment. If such Health Insurance Benefits are to be provided through third-party
insurance maintained by the Company under the Company’s benefit plans in a manner that causes such Health Insurance Benefits to be exempt from the application of Section 409A of the Code under Treasury Regulation Section 1 .409A- 1
(a)(5), the Company shall pay or reimburse the Company- subsidized portion of the insurance premiums in accordance with the Company’s normal payment practices, provided, that if, any plan pursuant to which such Health Insurance Benefits
are provided is not, or ceases prior to the expiration of the Continuation Period to be, exempt from the application of Section 409A of the Code under Treasury Regulation Section l.409A- 1 (a)(5), then an amount equal to the Company-subsidized
portion of each remaining premium payment or reimbursement shall thereafter be paid to Participant as currently taxable compensation in substantially equal monthly installments over the remainder of the Continuation Period. 
 3. For the Continuation Period, the Company shall provide life insurance and disability insurance coverage to Participant that is
reasonably similar to that provided to Participant immediately prior to Participant’s termination of employment, provided that such coverage shall be provided at the same premium cost to Participant and on substantially the same terms and
conditions as in effect immediately preceding the date of Participant’s termination of employment. To the greatest extent applicable, such coverage shall be provided in a manner that satisfies the exemption from Section 409A of the Code
under Treasury Regulation Section l.409A-1(a)(5). To the extent that such coverage does not satisfy such exemption, the Company shall provide such coverage by making direct payment, in accordance with the Company’s standard payment practices
for such insurance, to the insurer of the cost of Participant’s life insurance and disability insurance premiums applicable to such continued coverage; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to make such direct
payments to the insurer or provide such coverage unless the Participant remits to the Company on a monthly basis an amount equal to the Participant’s monthly premium cost for such coverage. 
 B. If Participant dies at any time during the three (3) month period prior to the date on which a Change of Control occurs (the
“Change of Control Date”), or the three (3) month period after the Change of Control Date, the Company shall make the Change of Control Payment to the estate of Participant as follows: 
 (i) if Participant’s death occurs prior to the Change of Control Date, such payment shall be made within fifteen (15) days after
the earlier to occur of (i) the date which is three months after the date of Participant’s death, or (ii) the Change of Control Date, but only if such Change of Control constitutes a “change in control event” (within the
meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) of the Code, and Treasury Regulation Section 1 .409A-3(i)(5)) (with the exact payment date to be determined by the Company in its discretion); and 
  

 3 

 (ii) if Participant’s death occurs on or after the Change of Control Date, such payment
shall be made within fifteen (15) days after the date of Participant’s death (with the exact payment date to be determined by the Company in its discretion). 
 C. Subject to Section 4.D. below, if Participant incurs a Separation from Service by reason of Participant’s resignation of his employment for any reason during the period commencing on
the date that is six (6) months after the Change of Control Date and ending on the date that is twelve (12) months after the Change of Control Date, the Company shall make the Change of Control Payment to Participant within fifteen
(15) days after the date of Participant’s Separation from Service (with the exact payment date to be determined by the Company in its discretion) (and, for the avoidance of doubt, Participant shall not also be entitled to an additional
Change in Control Payment under Section 4.A. 1 above). 
 B. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan,
no compensation or benefits, including without limitation any severance payments or benefits payable under this Section 4, shall be paid to Participant during the 6-month period following Participant’s Separation from Service if the
Company determines that paying such amounts at the time or times indicated in the Plan would be a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code. If the payment of any such amounts is delayed as a result of the previous
sentence, then on the first business day following the end of such 6-month period (or such earlier date upon which such amount can be paid under Section 409A of the Code without resulting in a prohibited distribution, including as a result of
Participant’s death), the Company shall pay Participant a lump-sum amount equal to the cumulative amount that would have otherwise been payable to Participant during such period. 
 E. The Company will inform the successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to the Company
prior to the closing of the Change of Control of the provisions of this Section 4, and will require such successor to assume the Plan as a condition to a closing of the Change of Control. For purposes of the Plan, “Company” shall be
deemed to mean the Company as defined in Section 1 and any such successor, including any surviving entity thereof, that assumes the Plan by operation of law or otherwise. 
 SECTION 5. TERMINATION AND AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN. The Plan and/or any Participation Agreement executed by a Participant may not be terminated with respect to such Participant without the written
consent of Participant. The Plan and/or any Participation Agreement executed by a Participant may be modified, amended or superseded with respect to such Participant only by a supplemental written agreement between Participant and the Company.

  

 4 

 SECTION 6. AGREEMENT. By executing a Participation Agreement, Participant acknowledges that
Participant has received a copy of this Plan and has read, understands and is familiar with the terms and provisions of this Plan. This Plan shall constitute an agreement between the Company and Participant executing a Participation Agreement.

 SECTION 7. NO DUPLICATION OF BENEFITS. The payments and benefits provided under this Plan are in lieu of and not in addition to any
severance benefits provided under the terms of any employment or other agreement between a Participant and the Company, and in no event shall any Participant be entitled to any payment or benefit under the Plan to the extent that such payment or
benefit would result in a duplication of a payment or benefit to which such Participant is entitled under such employment or other agreement. 
 SECTION 8. CODE SECTION 409A. 
 A. To the extent applicable, the Plan shall be interpreted and applied
consistent and in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, if the Company determines that any
compensation or benefits payable under the Plan may not be either exempt from or compliant with Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance, the Company may in its sole discretion adopt such amendments to the Plan or
adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Company determines are necessary or appropriate to (i) exempt the compensation and benefits payable
under the Plan from Section 409A of the Code and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of such compensation and benefits, or (ii) comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance;
provided, however, that this paragraph shall not create an obligation on the part of the Company to adopt any such amendment, policy or procedure or take any such other action. 
 B. To the extent permitted under Section 409A of the Code, any separate payment or benefit under the Plan or otherwise shall not
be deemed “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code (and Section 4.D. above) to the extent provided in the exceptions in Treasury Regulation Section 1 .409A- 1 (b)(4), Section 1 .409A- 1
(b)(9) or any other applicable exception or provision of Section 409A of the Code. 
 C. To the extent that any
payments or reimbursements provided to any Participant under the Plan are deemed to constitute compensation to which Treasury Regulation Section l.409A-3(i)(l)(iv) would apply, such amounts shall be paid or reimbursed to Participant reasonably
promptly, but not later than December 31 of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred. The amount of any such payments eligible for reimbursement in one year shall not affect the payments or expenses that are eligible for
payment or reimbursement in any other taxable year, and Participant’s right to such payments or reimbursement shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefit.

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned Secretary of the Company certifies that the foregoing Plan was duly
adopted by the Board on December 19, 2008.

 AWARD OF RESTRICTED STOCK

 2.1 Award of Restricted Stock. 
 (a) Award. In consideration of the Holder’s agreement to remain in the service or employ of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, and for other good and valuable consideration, the Company
issues to the Holder the Award described in this Agreement (the “Award”). The number of shares of Restricted Stock (the “Shares”) subject to the Award is set forth in the Notice of Restricted Stock Award above. The
Holder is a Service Provider of the Company. 
 (b) Book Entry Form. At the sole discretion of the Administrator, the
Shares will be issued in either (i) uncertificated form, with the Shares recorded in the name of the Holder in the books and records of the Company’s transfer agent with appropriate notations to the extent that the Shares remain subject to
the Restrictions (as defined below); or (ii) certificate form pursuant to the terms of Sections 2.1(c) and (d). 
 (c)
Legend. Certificates representing Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement shall, until all Restrictions on transfer imposed pursuant to this Agreement lapse or shall have been removed and new certificates are issued, bear the following
legend (or such other legend as shall be determined by the Administrator): 
 “THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS
CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN VESTING REQUIREMENTS AND MAY BE SUBJECT TO FORFEITURE UNDER THE TERMS OF A RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN GUIDANCE SOFTWARE, INC. AND THE REGISTERED OWNER OF SUCH SHARES, AND SUCH SHARES MAY NOT

 (d) Escrow. The Secretary of the Company or such other escrow holder as the Administrator may appoint may retain physical custody of

certificates representing Shares issued to the Holder that are unvested and subject to Restrictions. 
  

 2 

 2.2 Restrictions. 
 (a) Forfeiture of Shares. In the event that the Holder ceases to be a Service Provider for any reason, then, immediately upon such
termination, the Holder shall automatically and without further action by the Holder, the Company or any other party forfeit any and all Shares then subject to the Restrictions, and the Holder shall have no further right or interest in such Shares.
Upon such forfeiture, such Shares shall, automatically and without further action by the Holder, the Company or any other party, be cancelled and return to the status of authorized but unissued shares of the Company’s common stock. For purposes
of this Agreement, “Restrictions” shall mean the restrictions on sale or other transfer set forth in Section 3.1 and the exposure to forfeiture set forth in this Section 2.2(a). 
 (b) Vesting and Lapse of Restrictions. Subject to Section 2.2(a), the Award shall vest and the Restrictions shall lapse in
accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the Notice of Restricted Stock Award above, provided, however, that to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, suspend the vesting and
lapsing of Restrictions applicable to the Award during all or any part of any leave of absence from employment taken by the Holder. 
 (c) Accelerated Vesting. Subject to Section 2.2(a), in the event that an Acquisition occurs, then, immediately prior thereto, the Award shall vest and the Restrictions shall lapse with respect to 100% of the Shares subject
thereto, provided that the Holder continues to be a Service Provider until the Acquisition 
 (d) Tax Withholding; Conditions

unless and until the Holder or his legal representative shall have paid to the Company the full amount of all federal and state withholding or other taxes applicable to the taxable income of Holder resulting from the grant of Shares or the lapse or
removal of the Restrictions. The Administrator may in its discretion and in satisfaction of the foregoing requirement allow the Holder to elect to have the Company withhold shares of the Company’s common stock otherwise issuable under the Award
(or allow the return of shares of the Company’s common stock) having a Fair Market Value equal to the sums required to be withheld. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, the number of shares of the Company’s
common stock which may be withheld with respect to the issuance, vesting or payment of the Shares in order to satisfy the Holder’s federal and state income and payroll tax liabilities with respect to the issuance, vesting or payment of the
Shares shall be limited to the number of shares of the Company’s common stock which have a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding equal to the aggregate amount of such liabilities based on the minimum statutory withholding rates for
federal and state tax income and payroll tax purposes that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income. 
 (ii) The
Company shall not be required to record any Shares in the name of the Holder in the books and records of the Company’s transfer agent or issue or deliver any certificate or certificates for any Shares prior to the fulfillment of all of the
following conditions: (A) the admission of the Shares to listing on all stock exchanges on which the

  

 3 

 
Company’s common stock is then listed, (B) the completion of any registration or other qualification of the Shares under any state or federal law or under rulings or regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission or other governmental regulatory body, which the Administrator shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, deem necessary and advisable, (C) the obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any state or
federal governmental agency that the Administrator shall, in its absolute discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable and (D) the lapse of any such reasonable period of time following the date the Restrictions lapse as the Administrator
may from time to time establish for reasons of administrative convenience. 
 ARTICLE III. 
 OTHER PROVISIONS 
 3.1 Restricted Stock Not Transferable. No Shares that are subject to the Restrictions or any interest or right therein or part thereof shall be liable for the debts, contracts or engagements of the Holder or his successors in
interest or shall be subject to disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or any other means whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law by judgment, levy, attachment,
garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy), and any attempted disposition thereof shall be null and void and of no effect. 
 3.2 Rights as Stockholder. Except as otherwise provided herein, upon the Grant Date the Holder shall have all the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Shares, subject to the Restrictions
contained herein, including the right to vote the Shares and the right to receive any cash or stock dividends paid to or made with respect to the Shares.

of its Subsidiaries.

administration, enforcement and performance of the terms of this Agreement regardless of the law that might be applied under principles of conflicts of laws.

such laws, rules and regulations.

Agreement may be wholly or partially amended or otherwise modified, suspended or terminated at any time or from time to time by the Administrator or the Board, provided, that, except as may otherwise be provided by the Plan, no amendment,
modification, suspension or termination of this Agreement shall adversely effect the Award in any material way without the prior written consent of the Holder.

to single or multiple assignees, and this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer herein set forth, this Agreement shall be binding upon Holder and his or her heirs,
