Dear Xxxx:
On behalf of the entire Board of Directors, thank you for your service to Model N, Inc. (the “Company”) since founding the Company in 1999 and for your tenure as interim Chief Executive Officer since November 2016. As we have hired a permanent Chief Executive Officer, this letter confirms the agreement (“Agreement”) between you and the Company concerning the terms of the end of your employment and offers you certain benefits to which you would not otherwise be entitled, conditioned upon your provision of a general release of claims and covenant not to sue now and upon the Transition End Date (defined below) as provided herein. If you agree to the terms outlined herein, please sign and return this Agreement to me in the timeframe outlined below.
a.Employment End Date; Transition Period and Services: Your last day of employment with the Company will be May 9, 2018 (the “Employment End Date”). Upon the Employment End Date, you and the Company agree that you will become a “Special Advisor” to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), which will include your services to assist the Company with transitioning your responsibilities, duties, and knowledge relative to your position to your replacement, as well as other advisory services as may reasonably be requested by the Board (the “Transition Services”) pursuant to the advisor agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Advisor Agreement”). Between the Employment End Date and the termination or expiration of the Advisor Agreement (the “Transition Period”), you agree to deliver the Transition Services to the best of your ability, in good faith and on a full-time schedule basis.

ii. COBRA: During the Transition Period, upon your timely election to continue your existing health benefits under COBRA, and consistent with the terms of COBRA and the Company’s health insurance plan, the Company will pay the insurance premiums to continue your existing health benefits through the termination or expiration of the Advisor Agreement (the “Transition End Date”). You will remain responsible for, and must continue to pay, the portion of premiums, co-payments, etc. that you would have paid had your employment continued. Notwithstanding the two immediately foregoing sentences, if you are eligible for, and the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that it cannot pay, the COBRA premiums without a substantial risk of violating applicable law (including Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), the Company instead shall pay to you, on the first day of each calendar month, a fully taxable cash payment equal to the applicable COBRA premiums for that month, subject to applicable tax withholdings (such amount, the “Special Cash Payment”), for the remainder of the period you remain eligible for the benefit under the two immediately foregoing sentences. You may, but are not obligated to, use such Special Cash Payments toward the cost of COBRA premiums. In the event the Company opts for the Special Cash Payments, then, within twenty (20) business days following the effectiveness of this Agreement (with the payment date being at the Company’s sole discretion), the Company will make the first payment to you under this Section 3(b), in a lump sum, equal to the aggregate Special Cash Payments that the Company would have paid through such date had the Special Cash Payments commenced on the first day of the first month following the Employment End Date through such twentieth (20th) business day, with the balance of the Special Cash Payments paid on the first day of each calendar month thereafter.
By signing below, you acknowledge that you are receiving the release consideration outlined in this section in consideration for waiving your rights to claims referred to in this Agreement (and the Second Release, if applicable) and that you would not otherwise be entitled to the release consideration.
Xxxxx, Xxxx
Xxxx 4 of 7
4.Business Expenses Reimbursement; No Further Amounts Due: To the extent you have any unreimbursed business expenses as of the Transition End Date, you will need to submit such expenses within two weeks of the Transition End Date with supporting documentation, and the Company will reimburse you for all approved expenses in accordance with its business expense reimbursement policy. By signing below, you acknowledge that the Company does not owe you any other amounts, except as otherwise may become payable under the Agreement.
7.General Release and Waiver of Claims:
a The payments and promises set forth in this Agreement are in full satisfaction of all accrued salary, vacation pay, bonus pay, profit-sharing, stock, stock options or other ownership interest in the Company, termination benefits or other compensation to which you may be entitled by virtue of your employment with the Company or the end of your employment with the Company. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you hereby release and waive any other claims you may have against the Company and its owners, agents, officers, shareholders, employees, directors, attorneys, subscribers, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors and assigns (collectively “Releasees”), whether known or not known, including, without limitation, claims under any employment laws, including, but not limited to, claims of unlawful discharge, breach of contract, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, fraud, violation of public policy, defamation, physical injury, emotional distress, claims for additional compensation or benefits arising out of your employment or the end of your employment, claims under Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, as amended, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act and any other laws and/or regulations relating to employment or employment discrimination, including, without limitation, claims based on age or under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act or Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, and/or claims based on disability or under the Americans with Disabilities Act. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company hereby releases and waives any claims it may have against you and your successors and assigns, whether known or not known, including, but not limited to claims relating to your employment with the Company and separation therefrom, but excluding claims of fraud, misappropriation of trade secrets, and breach of your Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement.
b By signing below, you and the Company expressly waive any benefits of Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California, 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.”
c You and the Company do not intend to release claims that you may not release as a matter of law, including but not limited to claims for indemnity under California Labor Code Section 2802, or any claims for enforcement of this Agreement.
