Re: Transitional Services and Separation Agreement
Dear Russ:
This letter agreement follows our conversations regarding your employment with
iRobot Corporation (the “Company”). This confirms that you will be transitioning from your role as Executive Vice President Human Resources & Corporate Communications (EVP) of the Company and, ultimately, from your employment with the Company. The Company greatly appreciates your service to the Company and would like to make this transition as smooth as possible. Consistent with that, the Company is offering you an opportunity continue your at-will employment during a transition period and receive pay and benefits in connection therewith.
Regardless of whether you enter into the Agreement below, the following bulleted terms and obligations apply:
•The Company shall pay your salary plus all accrued but unused vacation to which you are entitled through the Separation Date.
•Your eligibility to participate in the Company’s group medical, dental and/or vision plans (as applicable to you) ceases on the Separation Date in accordance with the terms and conditions of the health and dental plans. You may elect to continue your benefits under these plans (as applicable) in accordance with and subject to the law known as COBRA.
•Your eligibility to participate in the Company’s other employee benefit plans and programs ceases on the Separation Date in accordance with the terms and conditions of each of those benefit plans and programs. Your rights to benefits, if any, are governed by the terms and conditions of those benefit plans and programs.
•Basic Life and/or Supplemental Life insurance that was in force at the time of your termination may be converted to an individual own policy at your own expense. Please refer to the enclosed application forms.

•The Company shall reimburse you for any outstanding, reasonable business expenses that you have incurred on the Company’s behalf through the Separation Date, provided the Company receives appropriate documentation pursuant to the Company’s business expense reimbursement policy within ten (10) days of the Separation Date.
•You shall have the right to continue to vest in any iRobot restricted stock units subject solely to time-based vesting (“RSUs”) and performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) that you hold through the Separation Date (as defined below) and you shall have the right to exercise any vested Company stock that you hold, pursuant to and subject to the terms of any and all applicable iRobot equity plans and awards agreements (collectively, “Equity Documents”). Subject to the terms of the Agreement below, which provide you with the opportunity for equity acceleration, all unvested equity awards will lapse and be forfeited on your Separation Date.
•You are subject to continuing obligations under your Noncompetition & Nonsolicitation Agreement with the Company dated November 1, 2010 (the “Noncompete/Nonsolicit Agreement”) your Invention & Confidentiality agreement dated November 1, 2010, and under Sections 7 and 11 of your Amended and Restated Executive Agreement with the Company (the “Executive Agreement”) (which, together with any other confidentiality, restrictive covenant and other Continuing Obligations you have to any of the Releasees (as defined below), including the covenants to which you agree by signing the Agreement below, are referred to herein as the “Continuing Obligations”).
The terms set forth above will not be affected by whether or not you agree to the terms set forth below.
The remainder of this letter proposes an agreement (the “Agreement”) between you and the Company. The purpose of this Agreement is to establish an amicable arrangement for your transition from the Company, including releasing the Company and related persons or entities from any claims and permitting you to receive the Advisor Payments described below.
You acknowledge that you are entering into this Agreement voluntarily.
By entering into this Agreement, you understand that the Company is not admitting in any way that it violated any legal obligation that it owed to you.
Subject to your performance of your obligations set forth herein and the execution and non-revocation of the Agreement, you acknowledge and agree that:
1.Transition from EVP Role
You shall remain employed as EVP and continue to provide your existing services to the Company, until December 2, 2024 (unless the Company earlier terminates your employment for Cause, as defined below) (such date, the “Transition Date”). You are expected to continue to operate in your capacity as EVP during this period.
You further agree to (i) cooperate with the Company as to the timing and content of the announcement of your transition; (ii) execute such documentation as the Company or its
Transition Agreement; Page 3 of 12
applicable affiliate reasonably requires to effectuate any resignations of your officer position, named executive officer position and any other positions you occupy at the Company (which shall not take effect until December 2, 2024 subject to this Agreement); and (iii) take such steps as the Company reasonably requests to ensure the transition of any account access, systems access, password access, customer access, confidential information, Company property, customer information, or customer relationships to the Company.
2.Role as Advisor to CHRO; Separation Date
(a)Following the Transition Date, it is expected that you will continue to be employed as an at-will “Advisor to the CHRO” until no later than March 28, 2025 (such date, the “Anticipated Separation Date”). Your last day of employment, whether it is the Anticipated Separation Date or an earlier date (i.e. if you earlier resign or are terminated by the Company for Cause, as defined below), shall be referred to as the “Separation Date.” The parties may mutually agree in writing to extend the Separation Date. The time period between the Transition Date and the Separation Date shall be referred to as the “Transition Period.”
(b)During the Transition Period, in your role as Advisor to the CHRO, you agree to (i) assist in the transition of responsibilities to the new CHRO; and (ii) perform such other duties as the Board, the new CHRO or the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) reasonably request.
(c)During the Transition Period, you will serve in a full-time capacity until at least December 27, 2024, which date may be extended by mutual agreement between you and the Company (such date, or a subsequent last date if extended by such mutual agreement, the “Full-Time End Date.”)
(d)Between the Full-Time End Date and March 28, 2025 (the “Part-Time Period”), you will serve in a 60% capacity, i.e. 3 days per week.
(e)During the Transition Period, you will (i) be paid your current base salary rate (which shall be prorated to account for your 60% work schedule during the Part-Time Period) (the “Base Salary”); (ii) continue to vest in your iRobot stock options, RSUs and PSUs, (as and if applicable), subject to the terms of the Equity Documents; and (iii) continue to be eligible for other employee benefits offered by the Company, subject to applicable plan and policy terms in effect from time to time. However, you will not be eligible for any bonus from the Company for 2025. To avoid doubt, during the Transition Period, you will remain subject to all applicable Company policies and procedures, including, but not in any way limited to, the Company’s Insider Trading Policy.
3.Severance Benefits
(a)If you (i) do not resign and are not terminated by the Company for Cause on or before March 28, 2025; and (ii) comply with this Agreement and not breach your Continuing Obligations, the Company will provide you with the following “Severance Benefits”:
i.The Company shall pay you severance of twelve (12) months of your annualized Base Salary rate of $410,000 (the “Severance Pay”). The
Transition Agreement; Page 4 of 12
Company shall pay you Severance Pay as salary continuation in substantially equal monthly installments on its regular payroll dates applicable to your position with the Company, beginning with the first such payroll date after the Separation Date.
ii.Subject to your timely election of COBRA rights, and if you remain eligible for benefit continuation under COBRA, the Company will pay the regular employer portion of your applicable health, vision and/or dental premiums to the same extent as if you had remained employed with the Company, until the earliest of (i) the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Separation Date (ii) the date upon which you become covered under a comparable group plan for such applicable coverage or (iii) the date that you otherwise become ineligible under COBRA (the “Benefit Continuation Period”). During this Benefit Continuation Period, you will still be responsible for the active employee portion (as in effect on the Separation Date) of any premiums for these plans and the 2% COBRA administration fee (this fee is based on the total premium). At the end of your Benefit Continuation Period, you and/or your beneficiaries may continue your health and/or dental insurance for the remainder of the COBRA period at your own expense, to the extent you and they remain eligible. You agree to inform the Company promptly upon your eligibility for group health insurance from a subsequent employer, and you agree to respond promptly to the Company’s COBRA-related inquiries.
iii.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Equity Documents the Company shall accelerate the vesting of the portion of your Company RSUs that would have vested had you remained employed by the Company until the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Separation Date (the “Accelerated RSUs”), effective on the Separation Date. Other than the Accelerated RSUs, all other unvested stock options, RSUs and PSUs shall expire, be forfeited and become null and void on the Separation Date. Your stock options, RSUs (including without limitation the Accelerated RSUs) and (if applicable) PSUs shall otherwise remain subject to the Equity Documents in all respects.
(b)You agree that the above Severance Benefits are in excess of those for which are eligible under the Executive Agreement, and you hereby waive any right to severance benefits or other compensation and benefits under the Executive Agreement.
(c)To avoid doubt, if, prior to the Anticipated Separation Date, the Company terminates your employment without Cause (defined below) (which to avoid doubt, shall include your termination due to your death), the Company will provide you with the Severance Benefits, at the times and subject to the conditions described in subsection (a) above. In the event of a termination due to your death, the Company will provide your estate with the Severance Benefits, unless prohibited by law or the terms of applicable plans.
Transition Agreement; Page 5 of 12
(d)To avoid doubt, if the Company terminates your employment for Cause, as defined below, or if you resign before the Anticipated Separation Date, or if you breach this Agreement or your Continuing Obligations, you will not be eligible for the Severance Benefits.
(e)“Cause” shall mean (i) your material breach of any Continuing Obligations (as defined in this Agreement) or (ii) any grounds for Cause defined in the Executive Agreement, which Cause definition is reproduced herein for reference:
“Cause” shall mean any one or more of the following: (i) Your failure or refusal to perform your duties on behalf of the Company or your unsatisfactory performance (except due to Disability) [as defined in the Executive Agreement] for a period of thirty (30) days after receiving written notice identifying in reasonable detail the nature of such failure, refusal or unsatisfactory performance; (ii) Your commission of a felony or misdemeanor involving deceit, dishonesty or fraud; (iii) disloyalty, willful misconduct or breach of fiduciary duty by you; or (iv) Your violation of any confidentiality, developments or non-competition agreement or any written employment polices related to conduct such as harassment or any code of conduct. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you shall not be deemed to have been terminated for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to you a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) (excluding you if you are a Director) at a meeting of the Board called and held for (but not necessarily exclusively for) that purpose (after reasonable notice to you and an opportunity for you to be heard by the Board) finding that you have, in the good faith opinion of the Board, engaged in conduct constituting Cause and specifying the particulars thereof in reasonable detail.
4.Tax Treatment
The Company shall have the right to deduct from all amounts payable hereunder any taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such amounts The provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner that all such payments either comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A”), or are exempt from the requirements of Section 409A. None of the Releasees makes any representation or warranty and no Releasee shall have any liability to you or any other person if any payment under any provision of this Agreement is determined to constitute deferred compensation under Section 409A that is subject to the 20% tax under Section 409A.
5.Return of Property
(a)You may retain your Company laptop (or a substantially similar laptop) and cell phone, provided that you agree to provide such equipment to the Company, upon Company request, to ensure erasure of Company date in connection with the Separation Date. You may retain all contact list(s), and your personal effects from your Company office.
(b)Other than as provided in the above subsection (a), you agree to return to the Company on or before the Separation Date (or such earlier date as is reasonably requested by the Company), all Company property, including, without limitation, computer equipment, robots, software, keys and access cards, credit cards, files and any documents
Transition Agreement; Page 6 of 12
(including computerized data and any copies made of any computerized data or software) containing information concerning the Company, its business or its business relationships (in the latter two cases, actual or prospective). After returning all such property to the Company, you commit to deleting and finally purging any duplicates of files or documents that contains Company information from any non-Company computer or other device that remains your property after the Separation Date. In the event that you later discover that you continue to retain any Company property, you shall return it to the Company immediately.
6.Continuing Obligations.
To avoid doubt, you agree that your obligations under Section 5 (Return of Property), 8 (Non-disparagement), 9 (Confidential Information) and 10 (Confidentiality of Agreement-Related Information) of this Agreement constitute Continuing Obligations (in addition to the Continuing Obligations described above)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Continuing Obligations, you hereby agree that: (i) you are not eligible for any garden leave pay or other noncompetition consideration under the Continuing Obligations or otherwise, (ii) your post-employment noncompetition obligations to the Company, and your other obligations to the Company, under the Continuing Obligations and/or otherwise nevertheless are in full effect are fully enforceable, regardless of the circumstances of your termination; and are incorporated herein as if newly entered-into. You agree that your termination was mutual and was not a termination by the Company without cause for the purposes of Section 2 of your Noncompete/Nonsolicit Agreement and therefore your post-employment noncompetition obligations under Section 2 remain in effect. To avoid all doubt, the following constitutes your ongoing noncompetition obligations under such Section 2, which noncompetition obligation remains in full effect:
During the period of my employment by the Company and for one year following
the termination of my employment, regardless of the reasons for my termination, I shall not, anywhere in the United States, directly or indirectly, alone or as an owner, member, manager, partner, officer, employee, director, investor, lender, consultant or independent contractor of any entity, (i) accept employment with any business or entity that is in competition with the products or services being created, developed, manufactured, marketed, distributed or sold by the Company, or (ii) engage in any business or activity, including but not limited to, the design, manufacture or sale of robots, components for robots or related products or services, that is in competition with the products or services being created, developed, manufactured, marketed, distributed or sold by the Company.
Your nonsolicitation and other obligations under the Noncompete/Nonsolicit Agreement likewise remain in full effect.
You agree that your eligibility for compensation under this Agreement constitutes mutually agreed upon, fair and reasonable consideration for each of the Continuing Obligations that is separate from your employment with the Company. You agree that you had the opportunity to review the Continuing Obligations and this Agreement with the legal counsel of your choosing.
Transition Agreement; Page 7 of 12
You agree that you would not be eligible for consideration under this Agreement absent your agreement to this Section.

14.Enforceability
If any portion or provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, any portion or provision of any section of this Agreement) shall to any extent be declared illegal or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such portion or provision in circumstances other than those as to which it is so declared illegal or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each portion and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
15.Waiver
No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by the waiving party. The failure of any party to require the performance of any term or obligation of this Agreement (including any of the Continuing Obligations), or the waiver by any
Transition Agreement; Page 10 of 12
party of any breach of this Agreement, shall not prevent any subsequent enforcement of such term or obligation or be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach.
16.Enforcement
(a) Jurisdiction; Jury Waiver. Except as expressly otherwise provided in the Equity Documents: (i) you and the Company hereby agree that the federal and state courts in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts shall have the exclusive jurisdiction and shall be the exclusive venue to consider any matters related to this Agreement, including without limitation any claim for violation of this Agreement; and (ii) with respect to any such court action, you (A) submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and exclusive venue of such courts, (B) consent to service of process, and (C) waive any other requirement (whether imposed by statute, rule of court or otherwise) with respect to personal jurisdiction or venue.

(b) Relief. You agree that it would be difficult to measure any harm caused to the Company that might result from any breach by you of your promises set forth any of the Continuing Obligations, each of which remain in effect, unaltered and unamended by this Agreement, and that in any event money damages would be an inadequate remedy for any such breach. Accordingly, you agree that if you breach, or propose to breach, any portion of any of the Continuing Obligations, the Company shall be entitled, in addition to all other remedies it may have, to an injunction or other appropriate equitable relief to restrain any such breach, without showing or proving any actual damage to the Company and without the necessity of posting a bond. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the prevailing party in any action to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, shall be liable to the other party for reasonable attorney’s fees and costs incurred by that party in enforcing such provision(s).
(c) Certain Other Remedies. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that you materially have breached any of your obligations under this Agreement, in addition to any other legal or equitable remedies it may have for such breach, the Company shall have the right terminate its payment or provision of Advisor Payments to you or for your benefit under this Agreement and/or require immediate repayment of any Advisor Payments already paid (including the fair market value of any shares issued upon settlement of RSUs or upon the exercise of Company stock options); provided that before seeking these remedies, the Company first must provide you with written notice detailing the alleged material breach and afford you at least fifteen (15) days to effect a cure, to the extent one is reasonably possible. The above remedies in the event of your breach will not (i) affect your continuing obligations under this Agreement, including your release of Claims under the Agreement, which release shall remain in full effect and (ii) limit the Company’s other rights and remedies.
Governing Law; Interpretation
Except as expressly otherwise provided in the Equity Documents, this Agreement shall be interpreted and enforced under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to conflict of law principles. In the event of any dispute, this Agreement is intended by the parties to be construed as a whole, to be interpreted in accordance with its fair meaning, and not to be construed strictly for or against either you or the Company or the “drafter” of all or any portion of this Agreement.
Transition Agreement; Page 11 of 12
