At-Will Employment


You will be an at-will employee of the Company. This means the employment relationship is voluntarily entered into by mutual consent of the employee and the Company, is not for a specified period of time and can be terminated by either the employee or the Company for any lawful reason at any time, with or without Cause or advance notice. This at-will employment status cannot be modified except in a written document signed by you and by an authorized executive of the Company.


Termination Without Cause


If you are terminated without Cause or you voluntarily resign your employment with the Company for Good Reason, contingent on your knowingly and voluntarily executing and complying with a separation agreement presented by the Company, including a release of claims against the Company and its related persons and entities, a mutual non-disparagement provision and such other provisions consistent with this Offer Letter and the Confidential Information and Inventions Assignment Agreement as you and the Company may mutually agree in good faith (the “Release”), you will receive: (i) severance compensation in a gross amount equal to twelve (12) months of your annualized amount of your then-current base salary, less applicable taxes, payroll deductions, and all required withholdings, to be paid on the Company’s regular payroll dates after the date the Release is effective, subject to the “Taxes” section below, (ii) a prorated portion of your Bonus based on the target in effect at the time, less applicable taxes, payroll deductions, and all required withholdings, to be paid in a lump sum promptly after the date the Release is effective and no longer subject to revocation, and (iii) acceleration of twelve (12) months of the service-time component of RSUs and SOPs you hold as of the effective termination date.


“Cause” shall mean (a) your conviction of, or entering of a plea of nolo contendere with respect to, a crime constituting a felony; (b) your material breach of the Confidential Information and Inventions Assignment Agreement and any restrictive covenants contained herein, (c) fraud, theft or dishonesty by you against the Company, (d) intentional breach of your fiduciary duties, (e) your gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with the performance of your duties, (f) your continuing failure to perform assigned duties consistent with your position, (g) your failure to cooperate in good faith with a governmental or internal investigation of the Company or its directors, officers or employees, (h) your material violation of the Company’s policies or procedures, and/or (i) your violation of any agreement between you and any prior employer of you causing harm to the Company; provided, in the case of clauses (b), (f) and (h), the Company has given notice of such breach or failure within 30 days after the Company or the Board has knowledge of it and you fail to cure within 30 days of such notice.


“Good Reason” shall mean a direct consequence of: (i) a material diminution in your responsibilities, authority or duties without your consent; (ii) a material diminution in your base compensation or target bonus opportunity (including after any increase); (iii) material breach by the Company of any commitment made herein; and/or (iii) a material change in the geographic location of your primary work location without your consent (excluding business travel generally required in the ordinary course of your role and responsibilities), in each case, provided that you have given written notice to the Company of such event within thirty (30) days after the occurrence thereof, the Company fails to cure such event to your reasonable satisfaction within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, and you resign within thirty (30) days after the end of such cure period.










			
	











Termination Without Cause Following a Sale Event


If within twelve (12) months following a “Change in Control” (for stock options) and/or “Sale Event” (for RSUs) (as defined herein), in addition to the severance compensation set forth herein, the Company (or, if applicable, the successor entity thereto) terminates your employment without Cause or you voluntarily resign your employment with the Company for Good Reason, the vesting and exercisability of your then unvested equity will immediately accelerate, vest, and become non- forfeitable.


“Change in Control” shall mean (i) the consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity or (ii) the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company. The foregoing notwithstanding, a merger or consolidation of the Company shall not constitute a “Change in Control” if immediately after such merger or consolidation a majority of the voting power of the capital stock of the continuing or surviving entity, or any direct or indirect parent corporation of such continuing or surviving entity, will be owned by the persons who were the Company’s stockholders immediately prior to such merger or consolidation in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the voting power of the Company’s capital stock.


“Sale Event” means the consummation of the following transactions: (i) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company determined on a consolidated basis to an unrelated person or entity;
(ii)a merger, reorganization, or consolidation involving the Company in which the shares of voting stock of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such transaction represent or are converted into or exchanged for securities of the surviving or resulting entity immediately upon completion of such transaction which represent less than 50% of the outstanding voting power of such surviving or resulting entity; or (iii) the acquisition of all or a majority of the outstanding voting stock of the Company in a single transaction or series of related transactions by a person or group of persons. For the avoidance of doubt, an initial public offering, any subsequent public offering, another capital raising event, and a merger effected solely to change the Company’s domicile shall not constitute a “Sale Event.” In addition, a transaction shall not constitute a Sale Event unless such transaction also qualifies as an event under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(v) (change in the ownership of a corporation), Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(vi) (change in the effective control of a corporation) or Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A- 3(i)(5)(vii) (change in the ownership of a substantial portion of a corporation’s assets).


Taxes


All payments under this Offer Letter will be subject to applicable withholding and deductions. The payments and benefits under this Offer Letter are intended to qualify for exemptions from the application of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 409A”), and this Offer Letter will be construed to the greatest extent possible as consistent with those provisions, and to the extent not so exempt, this Offer Letter (and any definitions hereunder) will be construed in a manner that complies with Section 409A to the extent necessary to avoid adverse taxation under Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent required to comply with Section 409A, a termination of employment will not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of


			
	











any provision of this Offer Letter providing for the payment of amounts or benefits upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination is also a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. Your right to receive any installment payments will be treated as a right to receive a series of separate payments and, accordingly, each installment payment will at all times be considered a separate and distinct payment. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Offer Letter, if you are deemed by the Company at the time of your separation from service to be a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A, and if any of the payments upon separation from service set forth herein and/or under any other agreement with the Company are deemed to be “deferred compensation,” then, to the extent delayed commencement of any portion of such payments is required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A and the related adverse taxation under Section 409A, such payments will not be provided to you prior to the earliest of (i) the expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of separation from service or (ii) such earlier date as permitted under Section 409A without the imposition of adverse taxation. With respect to payments to be made upon execution of an effective Release, if the Release revocation period spans two calendar years, payments will be made in the second of the two calendar years to the extent necessary to avoid adverse taxation under Section 409A.


Confidentiality & Continuing Obligations


As an employee of the Company, you will be expected to abide by the Company’s rules, regulations, policies, and procedures as communicated to you from time to time. In your work for the Company, you will be expected not to use or disclose any confidential information, including trade secrets, of any former employer or other person to whom you have an obligation of confidentiality. You will be expected to use only that information which is generally known and used by persons with training and experience comparable to your own, which is common knowledge in the industry or otherwise legally in the public domain or which is otherwise provided or developed by the Company.


By accepting and signing this Offer Letter, you acknowledge that you will be able to perform those duties within these guidelines. You also agree that you are not bound by any restrictive covenants (e.g., non-compete or non-solicitation of customers) that would preclude you from working for and performing in your role for UiPath and that you will not bring onto the Company’s premises or use in your work for the Company any confidential documents or property belonging to any former employer or other third party to whom you owe an obligation of confidentiality.


Class Action Waiver


By accepting and signing this Offer Letter, you agree to submit any and all claims you may have against the Company on an individual basis. This means that no claim (including any claim related to terms or conditions of your employment with or compensation paid by the Company, or any change in or termination of your employment) may be litigated or otherwise adjudicated on a class or collective basis. You also hereby waive any right to submit, initiate, or participate in a representative capacity or as a plaintiff, claimant, or member in a class action, collective action, or other representative or joint action against the Company, regardless of whether the action is filed in a judicial or administrative forum.


			
	











Acceptance


Please sign and date this Offer Letter in the space provided below.

(2)years after termination that relates directly to the Company’s business, to the Company’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, or that results from any work performed by me for the Company, in which I used the Company’s Confidential Information. Such notice shall describe the Work Inventions with clear enough data to define the Work Inventions and the conditions in which it was created. Following the information received from me, within a period of 4 months, the Company shall notify me of the incorporation of the invention into the category of Work Inventions and whether it claims the rights upon it, in which case the rights to the Work Inventions will belong exclusively and in whole to the Company, under the law, without any other prior formality, in exchange for a remuneration, if any, to be determined by the Company at that time, having considered:

(ii)In the event Company is unable for any reason, after reasonable effort, to secure my signature on any document needed in connection with the actions specified in this paragraph, I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as my agent and attorney in fact, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to act for and in my behalf to execute, verify and file any such documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the purposes of the preceding paragraph with the same legal force and effect as if executed by me.

The records are and will be available to and remain the sole property of the Company at all times.


(e)Exception to Assignments. I understand that the provisions of this Agreement requiring assignment of Work Inventions to the Company do not apply to any invention that qualifies fully under applicable state Specific Inventions Law. I will advise the Company promptly in writing of any Work Inventions that could in any way meet the criteria per applicable state law so that the Company may determine whether such Work Inventions do in fact qualify for exclusion from assignment to the Company. Information regarding Work Inventions that qualify fully under applicable state law will be received in confidence by the Company.

common control with the Company (“Affiliates”) and for whom I performed responsibilities or about whom I have Confidential Information.


(a)Definitions. “Cause” means to recruit, employ, retain or otherwise solicit, induce or influence, or to attempt to do so (provided that if I am a resident of California, “Cause” means to recruit, or otherwise solicit, induce or influence, or to attempt to do so).

I understand that, pursuant to 18 USC § 1833(b), I may not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for disclosure of a trade secret: (i) made in confidence to a government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; and/or
(ii) in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. Additionally, I understand that an individual suing an employer for retaliation based on the reporting of a suspected violation of law may disclose a trade secret to his or her attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, so long as any document containing the trade secret is filed under seal and the individual does not disclose the trade secret except pursuant to court order.


10.General Provisions.


(a)Governing Law; Consent to Personal Jurisdiction. This Agreement will be governed by and construed according to the laws of the State or commonwealth in which I primarily work. I hereby expressly consent to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in New York, unless I legally reside and work in California in which event I consent to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in California, for any lawsuit filed against me by the Company arising from or relating to this Agreement.


(b)Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement, together with the exhibit herein and any executed written offer letter between me and the Company, to the extent such materials are not in conflict with this Agreement, sets forth the entire agreement and understanding between the Company and me relating to the subject matter herein and supersedes all prior discussions between us. No modification of or amendment to this Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights under this Agreement, will be effective unless in writing signed by the party to be charged. Any subsequent change or changes in my duties or compensation will not affect the validity or scope of this Agreement.


(c)Severability. If one or more of the provisions in this Agreement are deemed void by law, then the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.


(d)Successors and Assigns. This Agreement will be binding upon my heirs, executors, administrators and other legal representatives and will be for the benefit of the Company, its successors, and its assigns. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company may


			
	











assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any successor to all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets or stock, or otherwise.


(e)Waiver. Failure of either party to enforce compliance with any provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such provision unless accompanied by a clear written statement that such provision is waived. A waiver of any default hereunder or of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a continuing waiver or a waiver of any other default or of any other term or condition, but shall apply solely to the instance to which such waiver is directed.


(f)Survivorship. The rights and obligations of the parties to this Agreement will survive termination of my service to the Company.


(g)Employment At-Will. I agree and understand that nothing in this Agreement will change my at-will employment status or confer any right with respect to continuation of employment by Company, nor will it interfere in any way with my right or Company’s right to terminate my employment at any time, with or without cause or advance notice.


(h)Headings. Headings in this Agreement are for the purpose of convenience only, and are not intended to be used in its construction or interpretation.


(i)Signatures. A facsimile or pdf signature shall be considered due execution and shall be binding upon the signatory thereto with the same force and effect as if the signature were an original.


(j)Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. An originally executed version of this Agreement or any Exhibit or attachment that is delivered by one party to the other party, as evidence of signature, by facsimile, or by electronic mail after having been scanned as an image file (including, Adobe PDF, TIF, etc.) shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed an original signature and neither party shall have the right to object to the manner in which the Agreement was executed as a defense to the enforcement of the Agreement.


			
	











I HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY AND I UNDERSTAND AND ACCEPT THE OBLIGATIONS THAT IT IMPOSES UPON ME WITHOUT RESERVATION. NO PROMISES OR REPRESENTATIONS HAVE BEEN MADE TO ME TO INDUCE ME TO SIGN THIS AGREEMENT. I SIGN THIS AGREEMENT VOLUNTARILY AND FREELY, WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT I EITHER (1) HAVE RETAINED A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR (2) MAY REQUEST A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT FROM THE COMPANY AT ANY TIME.


AGREED TO AND ACCEPTED
