“Executive”), QlikTech Inc., a Delaware corporation with its principal place of business at

(“Parent”). The Agreement supersedes and replaces in its entirety the original Employment
Agreement between the Company and the Executive previously entered into as of the 19th day of
August 2008 (the “Previous Employment Agreement”). The Company and the Executive are from time to
time each referred to herein as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”






WITNESSETH:


     WHEREAS, the Company is currently in the business of (i) developing, advertising,
marketing, licensing, distributing, updating, enhancing, maintaining and supporting information
access and business intelligence software and applications designed to access, analyze, report and
share information residing in computer databases and other data sources; and (ii) providing
ancillary implementation, training and consulting services;


     WHEREAS, the Executive desires to continue to be employed by the Company;


     WHEREAS, the Company desires to continue to employ the Executive, provided that as
an express, prior condition of such employment, the Executive enters into this Agreement, including
the Proprietary Information, Assignment of Inventions and Non-Competition provisions attached
hereto as Appendix A;


     WHEREAS, the Executive understands that the provisions of this Agreement are necessary to
protect the Company’s legitimate and protectable business interests in its services, products,
customers, and accounts and to protect the Company’s confidential and proprietary information, as
well as other assets belonging to it; and


     WHEREAS, the Parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is supported by
valuable consideration and is entered into voluntarily by the Parties.


     NOW, THEREFORE, in exchange for the promises and mutual covenants contained in this
Agreement, the Parties, intending legally to be bound, agree as follows:


1. EMPLOYMENT


     1.1 Job Duties. The Executive shall continue to serve as the Treasurer and chief
financial officer of the Company and shall perform the services and duties required of such
position, or such other services, duties and positions as the Company’s Board of Directors (the
“Board”) or











 




President may from time to time designate; shall devote the Executive’s full time, attention
and best efforts to the business of the Company; and shall not be engaged as an employee or
otherwise in any other business or commercial activities except as specifically authorized in
advance by the Board. In particular, the Executive shall:





     (a) Perform the duties and exercise the powers and functions that from time to time may
be assigned or vested in him by the Board and/or the President;




     (b) Comply with all lawful requests, instructions, policies and regulations made by the
Board and/or President or their authorized agent(s);




     (c) Faithfully and loyally serve the Company to the best of his ability and use his
utmost efforts to promote the Company’s interests in all respects; and




     (d) Not engage in any activities that would detract from the proper performance of his
duties.




     (e) Unless otherwise directed by the Board, the Executive shall work at the Company’s
Radnor, Pennsylvania office.



     1.2 Compensation and Benefits. During the course of the Executive’s
employment, the Company agrees:




     (a) Base Salary: The Executive will receive a base salary as compensation for
the Executive’s services hereunder of two hundred eighty thousand dollars ($280,000.00) per
year (“Base Salary”). The Executive’s Base Salary shall be payable in bi-monthly
installments, less applicable deductions required by law for the payment of wages and such
other deduction as may be authorized by the Executive. The Executive’s Base Salary shall be
subject to review by the Board on an annual basis.




     (b) Bonus: In addition to the Base Salary, the Executive will be eligible to
participate in a bonus plan determined by the Board, which may yield up to an additional one
hundred seventy five thousand dollars ($175,000.00) annually for on-target performance,




     (c) Stock Options: In connection with his commencement of services with the
Company, Parent granted the Executive an option to purchase up to seven hundred seventy-eight
thousand five hundred (778,500) shares of the common stock of Parent subject to the terms of
Parent’s 2007 Omnibus Stock Option and Award Plan (the “Plan”) and the applicable
stock option agreement (the “Option Agreement”). With respect to vesting, the Option
Agreement provides that 12.5% of the shares subject to the option will vest at the end of the
6-month period following the date of grant, and the remaining unvested portion of the option
will thereafter vest on a quarterly basis, over an additional period of 3.5 years (such that
100% of the shares subject to the option will be vested upon the completion of four (4) years
of continuous employment with the Company measured from the date of grant). The Option
Agreement also provides for accelerated vesting if the Executive’s employment is Terminated
Without Cause (as defined in the Plan) following a Change of Control (as defined in the
Plan), so that 50% of the then unvested portion of the option will vest upon any such
termination of employment.













 






     (d) Vacation: The Executive will receive three (3) weeks (15 days) paid vacation
per calendar year.




     (e) Living Expenses: The Company will pay for, or reimburse Executive for, up
to twenty-four thousand dollars ($24,000.00) per year in living expenses incurred by the
Executive in connection with his living accommodations in the Radnor, Pennsylvania area.




     (f) Other Benefits: The Company will also provide the Executive with the
opportunity to participate in such other employee benefits in such form, manner and times as
the Company may from time to time establish for its employees or specified classes of
employees in its discretion and in accordance with the terms of such benefits/plans.



     1.3 Employment Relationship. Employment with the Company is for no specific period of
time. The Executive’s employment with the Company will be “at will,” meaning that either the
Executive or the Company may terminate the Executive’s employment at any time and for any reason,
with or without cause. Any contrary representations that may have been made to the Executive are
superseded by this Agreement. This is the full and complete agreement between the Executive and
the Company on this term. Although the Executive’s job duties, title, compensation and benefits,
as well as the Company’s personnel policies and procedures, may change from time to time, the “at
will” nature of the Executive’s employment may only be changed in an express written agreement
signed by the Executive and a duly authorized officer of the Company (other than the Executive).



2. PROPRIETARY INFORMATION; ASSIGNMENT OF INVENTIONS; NON COMPETITION




     The Executive understands that during the course of his employment with the Company, the
Company may disclose to him (intentionally or inadvertently), or he may otherwise obtain,
confidential and proprietary information belonging to the Company, Parent and their affiliates. The
Executive understands that, through his continued employment with the Company, he will acquire a
considerable amount of additional knowledge and goodwill with respect to the Company’s business,
which knowledge and goodwill are extremely valuable to the Company and which would be extremely
detrimental to the Company if used by him to compete with the Company. The Executive also
understands and agrees that, because of the nature of the business of the Company and the customer
base which it serves, it is necessary to afford the Company fair protection from such competition
by the Executive. Consequently, in consideration of the Executive’s employment by the Company, the
Executive’s exposure and access to the Company’s confidential and proprietary information and for
other good and valuable consideration, all of which are being offered to the Executive
contemporaneously with and contingent upon the Executive’s execution of this Agreement, the
Executive agrees to the provisions of Appendix A, which is attached hereto and incorporated
by reference into this Agreement. All references herein to this “Agreement” shall include
Appendix A, as if Appendix A were set forth in the body hereof.













 





3. TERMINATION




     The Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate, or be subject to termination, as
follows:



     3.1 Death or Disability. The Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate
immediately upon his death or Disability. “Disability” shall mean: (a) the determination
that the Executive is unable to perform his duties and responsibilities contemplated by this
Agreement as a result of a physical incapacity or mental incompetence, and such inability continues
for six (6) consecutive months, or for shorter periods aggregating six (6) months during any
twelve-month period as determined by the Company in good faith and upon appropriate medical
substantiation by certification or otherwise, or otherwise as the Company may deem appropriate
under the circumstances; (b) the Executive has been declared legally incompetent by a final court
decree (the date of such decree being deemed to be the date on which the Disability occurred); or
(c) the Executive receives or is entitled to receive disability insurance benefits under any
disability income insurance policy maintained by the Company for a period of six (6) consecutive
months.



     3.2 Termination by the Company for Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s
employment hereunder for Cause at any time, effective immediately upon delivery of written notice
thereof to the Executive. For the purposes of this Agreement, the Company shall have
“Cause” to terminate Executive’s employment hereunder upon a determination that the
Executive has: (a) failed to substantially perform his duties hereunder, other than a failure
resulting from the Executive’s Disability; or (b) performed his duties hereunder in a negligent
manner; or (c) failed to comply with the lawful directions of the Board or the President; or (d)
engaged in acts or misconduct substantially injurious (financially or otherwise) to the Company or
acts involving fraud, dishonesty or moral turpitude; or (e) materially breached the terms of this
Agreement and failed to cure such breach within thirty (30) days of delivery by the Company to the
Executive of written notice thereof.



     3.3 Notice of Termination. Any notice of termination under this Agreement shall be in
writing and served by personal delivery, or by registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested, to the other Party addressed to: (a) the Company in care of the President, at its then
principal place of business; or (b) to the Executive at the Executive’s then current work or home
address; or (c) to such other address or addressees as any Party hereto may from time to time
specify in writing for the purpose of a notice given to the other Parties in compliance with this
Agreement.



     3.4 Effect of Termination by the Company without Cause. If the Company terminates the
Executive’s employment hereunder without Cause (as defined above), the Company agrees to pay the
Executive his Base Salary and other compensation and benefits to which he may be entitled under
Section 1.2 above, accrued up to the date of such termination of employment, and any severance
compensation to which the Executive may be entitled under Section 3.5 below, but the Executive
shall not be paid any other compensation whatsoever.



     3.5 Severance. If the Company terminates the Executive’s employment hereunder without
Cause (as defined above) and a Separation (as defined below) occurs, the Executive will













 




be entitled to the benefits in this Section 3.5 contingent upon the Executive’s execution of
an agreement releasing any and all claims the Executive may have against the Company, Parent and
their affiliates arising out of: (a) his employment or termination from employment, for whatever
reason, (b) this Agreement, or (c) any other agreement between the Company, Parent and their
affiliates and the Executive, in a form satisfactory to the Company in its sole discretion. The
Executive must execute and return the release on or before the 45th day after the
Executive’s Separation (the “Release Deadline”). If the Executive fails to return the
release on or before the Release Deadline, or if the Executive revokes the release, then the
Executive will not be entitled to the benefits described in this Section 3.5. “Separation”
means a “separation from service,” as defined in the regulations under Section 409A of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). If the conditions of this Section 3.5 are
met, the Executive will be entitled to the following:





     (a) The Company will continue to pay the Executive his then current Base Salary for six
(6) months following the date of such Separation (the “Severance Period”). The
Executive’s base salary will be paid at the rate in effect at the time of the Executive’s
Separation and in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll procedures. The salary
continuation payments will commence on the 10th business day following the Release
Deadline and, once they commence, will be retroactive to the date of the Executive’s
Separation. If the Executive breaches his obligations under Appendix A (Proprietary
Information, Assignment of Inventions and Non-competition), the Company may immediately cease
all severance payments under this Section 3.5, and may recover any severance payments
previously made to the Executive under this Section 3.5. Any severance payments due during
the last three months of the Severance Period will be reduced by the amount of compensation
the Executive earns from other employment or consulting engagements during that period.
During the Severance Period and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, the Executive will
provide the Company with such information and records as the Company may reasonably from time
to time request to determine the amount of compensation, if any, the Executive earns from
other employment or consulting engagements during the Severance Period. For purposes of
Section 409A of the Code, each salary continuation payment under this Section 3.5(a) is
hereby designated as a separate payment. If the Company determines that the Executive is a
“specified employee” under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code at the time of the
Executive’s Separation, then (i) the salary continuation payments under this Section 3.5(a),
to the extent that they are subject to Section 409A of the Code, will commence during the
seventh month after the Executive’s Separation and (ii) the installments that otherwise would
have been paid during the first six months after the Executive’s Separation will be paid in a
lump sum when the salary continuation payments commence.




     (b) If, and only if, Parent completes an initial public offering of its equity
securities pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, on or before January 1, 2011 (a “Qualifying IPO”) and a Separation
occurs following such Qualifying IPO (a “Post-IPO Separation”), the Company will pay
the Executive any pro rated bonus amount pursuant to Section 1.2(b) based on the number of
days the Executive was employed during the year in which the Separation occurs.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the bonus payment, if any, will only be paid to the extent
that applicable individual and Company performance goals are deemed to













 






have been met for the applicable bonus period. The bonus payment will be paid, if at
all, on the date when Company bonuses are paid to other employees of the Company, but in no
event later than March 15th following the year of the Separation.




     (c) In the event of a Post-IPO Separation, if the Executive elects to continue health
insurance coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”)
following the Executive’s Separation, then the Company will pay the same portion of the
Executive’s monthly premium under COBRA as it pays for active employees until the earliest of
(i) the close of the six (6)-month period following the Executive’s Separation, (ii) the
expiration of the Executive’s continuation coverage under COBRA or (iii) the date when the
Executive becomes eligible for substantially equivalent health insurance coverage in
connection with new employment or self-employment.



     3.6 Effect of Termination Following a Change in Control. Following a Qualifying IPO,
if the Executive is Terminated Without Cause (as defined in the Plan) and a Separation occurs
within 12 months following a Change in Control (as defined in the Company’s 2010 Omnibus Equity
Incentive Plan), and the Executive complies with the release requirements described in Section 3.5
above, then all of the Executive’s outstanding equity awards (whether granted under the Plan, the
2010 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan, or otherwise) will immediately vest and become exercisable in
full on the date of Separation, provided that any awards subject to performance-based vesting will
remain subject to the agreement evidencing such performance-based awards.



     3.7 Effect of Termination for Any Other Reason. If: (a) the Company terminates the
Executive’s employment for Cause; or (b) the Executive’s employment is terminated as a result of
his death or Disability; or (c) the Executive terminates his employment with the Company, then the
Executive will be paid his Base Salary and other compensation and benefits to which he may be
entitled under Section 1.2 above, accrued up to the date of the Company’s written notice of
termination for Cause, or the date of the Executive’s death or Disability, or the date the
Executive terminates his employment, as the case may be, but the Executive shall not be paid any
other compensation whatsoever, including, without limitation, severance compensation.



     3.8 Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. To the fullest extent applicable, amounts and
other benefits payable under this Agreement are intended to be exempt from the definition of
“nonqualified deferred compensation” under Section 409A of the Code in accordance with one or more
of the exemptions available under the final Treasury regulations promulgated under Section 409A of
the Code and, to the extent that any such amount or benefit is, or becomes subject to, Section 409A
of the Code due to a failure to qualify for an exemption from the definition of nonqualified
deferred compensation in accordance with Section 409A of the Code, this Agreement is intended to
comply with the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code with respect to such amounts or
benefits. To the extent possible, this Agreement shall be interpreted and administered in a manner
consistent with the foregoing statement of intent. In no event whatsoever shall the Company be
liable for any taxes, penalties or interest that may be imposed on the Executive under Section 409A
of the Code or under any other similar provision of state tax law (including without limitation in
connection with any payment or benefits described in Section 3.5, or any damages for failing to
comply with Section 409A of the Code, any other similar provision of state tax law, or the
provisions of this Section 3.8.













 





4. GENERAL PROVISIONS




     4.1 Effect of Invalidity. The Executive understands and agrees that every
provision of this Agreement is severable from each other provision of this Agreement. Therefore,
the Executive agrees that if any part of the covenants or provisions contained in this Agreement is
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or by any arbitration panel to which a dispute is
submitted to be invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, then such covenant or provision,
with such modification as shall be required in order to render such covenant or provision not
invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, shall remain in full force and effect, and all
other covenants and provisions contained in this Agreement shall, nevertheless, remain in full
force and effect to the fullest extent permissible by law.



     4.2 Effect of Waiver. The waiver by the Company of a breach of any provision of this
Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement or
of any future breach of the provision so waived.



     4.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement represents the entire agreement between the
parties and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, between the
Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, except that the Option Agreement continues to
control the previously granted stock options except to the extent this Agreement expressly amends
the terms thereof.



     4.4 Modification. No change, modification, termination, or attempted waiver of any of
the provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon the Company or the Executive unless reduced
to writing and signed by the Party against whom enforcement is sought.



     4.5 Construction of Agreement. This Agreement (and any purported patent or latent
ambiguity related thereto) shall not be construed against the Company based on the legal principle
that the Company prepared this Agreement and is therefore responsible for any ambiguity.



     4.6 Multiple Counterparts. Any number of counterparts of this Agreement may be signed
and delivered, each of which shall be considered an original and all of which, together, shall
constitute one and the same instrument.



     4.7 Governing Law. THE EXECUTIVE UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA WITHOUT REGARD
TO OTHERWISE APPLICABLE CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES. The Executive agrees that any litigation under
this Agreement may be brought by the Company in the State of Pennsylvania notwithstanding that the
Executive may not be a resident of the State of Pennsylvania when the litigation is commenced and
cannot be served process within that State. In addition, except as mutually agreed between the
Parties, the Executive also irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of the courts sitting in
Pennsylvania (whether federal or State courts) over all disputes with the Company.













 





     4.8 Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE
PARTIES EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL REGARDING DISPUTES RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT.

APPENDIX A




PROPRIETARY INFORMATION, ASSIGNMENT OF INVENTIONS AND NON-COMPETITION



This Appendix A is an appendix to and made a part of that certain Employment Agreement
entered into as of the date hereof between the Company and the Executive (the Agreement). All
capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the
Agreement. In accordance with Section 2 of the Agreement, I, the Executive, agree as follows:



1. NO CONFLICTS. I have not made and agree not to make any agreement, oral or written, that
is in conflict with this Agreement or my employment with the Company. I will not violate any
agreement with or the rights of any third party. When acting within the scope of my employment (or
otherwise on behalf of the Company), I will not use or disclose my own or any third party’s
confidential information or intellectual property (collectively, Restricted Materials), except as
expressly authorized by such third party in writing. Further, I have not retained anything
containing any confidential information of a prior employer or other third party, whether or not
created by me.



2. INVENTIONS.





     a. Definitions. Intellectual Property Rights means any and all patent rights, copyright
rights, mask work rights, trade secret rights, sui generis database rights and all other
intellectual and industrial property rights of any sort throughout the world (including any
application therefor). Invention means any idea, concept, discovery, invention, development,
technology, work of authorship, trade secret, software, firmware, tool, process, technique,
know-how, data, plan, device, apparatus, specification, design, circuit, layout, mask work,
algorithm, program, code, documentation or other material or information, tangible or intangible,
whether or not it may be patented, copyrighted or otherwise protected (including all versions,
modifications, enhancements and derivative works thereof).



     b. Assignment. To the fullest extent under applicable law, the Company shall own all right,
title and interest in and to all Inventions (including all Intellectual Property Rights therein or
related thereto) that are made, conceived or reduced to practice, in whole or in part, by me during
the term of my employment with the Company and which arise out of any use of the Company’s
facilities or assets or any research or other activity conducted by, for or under the direction of
the Company (whether or not conducted at the Company’s facilities, during working hours or using
Company assets), or which are useful with or relate directly or indirectly to any Company Interest
(meaning any product, service, other Invention or Intellectual Property Right that is sold, leased,
used or under consideration or development by the Company), including, without limitation, all
“work for hire” as such term is defined by the copyright laws of the United States. I will promptly
disclose and provide all of the foregoing Inventions (the Assigned Inventions) to the Company. I
hereby make and agree to make all assignments to the Company necessary to accomplish the foregoing
ownership. Assigned Inventions shall not include any Invention (i) that I develop entirely on my
own time, (ii) without use of any Company assets, and (iii) which is not useful with and does not
relate to any Company Interest.



     c. Assurances. I will further assist the Company, at its expense (but without further
compensation to me), to evidence, record and perfect such assignments, and to perfect, obtain,
maintain, enforce and defend any rights specified to be so owned or assigned. I hereby irrevocably
designate and appoint the Company as my agent and attorney-in-fact to act for and in my behalf to
execute and file any document and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the purposes
of the foregoing with the same legal force and effect as if executed by me.



     d. Other Inventions. If I wish to clarify that something created by me prior to my employment
that relates to the Company’s actual or proposed business is not within the scope of this
Agreement, I have listed it on Schedule 1. If: (i) I use or disclose any Restricted
Materials when acting within the scope of my employment (or otherwise on behalf of the Company); or
(ii) any Assigned Invention cannot be fully made, used,













 




reproduced or otherwise exploited without using or violating any Restricted Materials, I
hereby grant and agree to grant to the Company a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free,
nonexclusive, sublicensable right and license to exploit and exercise all such Restricted Materials
and Intellectual Property Rights therein. I will not use or disclose any Restricted Materials for
which I am not fully authorized to grant the foregoing license.




     e. Moral Rights. To the extent allowed by applicable law, the terms of this Section 2 include
all rights of paternity, integrity, disclosure and withdrawal and any other rights that may be
known as or referred to as moral rights, artist’s rights, droit moral or the like (collectively,
Moral Rights). To the extent I retain any such Moral Rights under applicable law, I hereby ratify
and consent to any action that may be taken with respect to such Moral Rights by or authorized by
the Company and agree not to assert any Moral Rights with respect thereto. I will confirm any such
ratification, consent or agreement from time to time as requested by the Company.

Company’s employees, Affiliates (as such term is defined below), customers, vendors, suppliers,

hold in strict confidence and not disclose or, except within the scope of my employment, use any
Proprietary Information. Proprietary Information will not include information that I can document
is or becomes readily publicly available without restriction through no fault of mine. Upon
termination of my employment, I will promptly return to the Company all items containing or

Agreement.

     e. Enforcement. I understand that the restrictions set forth in this Section 4 are intended to
protect the Company’s interest in its Proprietary Information and established relationships and
goodwill with employees and Business Partners, and I agree that such restrictions are reasonable
and appropriate for this purpose. If at any time any of the provisions of this Section 4 are deemed
invalid or unenforceable or are prohibited by the laws of the State of Pennsylvania, by reason of
being vague or unreasonable as to duration or geographic scope or scope of activities restricted,
or for any other reason, such provisions shall be considered divisible and shall become and be
immediately amended to include only such restrictions and to such extent as shall be deemed to be
reasonable and enforceable by the court or other body having jurisdiction over this Agreement. The
Company and I agree that the provisions of this Section 4, as so amended, shall be valid and
binding as though any invalid or unenforceable provision had not been included.


5. SURVIVAL. I agree that my obligations under Sections 2, 3 and 4 of this Appendix shall continue
in effect after termination of my employment, regardless of the reason, and whether such
termination is voluntary or involuntary, and that the Company is entitled to communicate my
obligations under this Agreement to any of my potential or future employers. My obligations under
Sections 2, 3 and 4 also shall be binding upon my heirs, executors, assigns and administrators, and
shall inure to the benefit of the Company, its Affiliates, successors and assigns. This Agreement
may be freely assigned by the Company to any third party.



6. REMEDIES. I understand that any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement will cause
irreparable harm to the Company for which damages would not be an adequate remedy, and, therefore,
the Company will be entitled to injunctive relief with respect thereto (without the necessity of
posting any bond) in addition to any other remedies. In addition, the Company shall be entitled to
recover its costs and attorney fees for any action to enjoin or otherwise seek recovery for any
breach by me of this Agreement.
