RE: Employment with Immersion Corporation 
 Dear
Jason: 
 This letter supersedes the previous offer letter dated December 17, 2013. Immersion Corporation (the “Company” or
“Immersion”) is pleased to present an offer to you, for the position of General Manager, Content, on the terms set forth in this agreement, effective upon your acceptance by execution of a counterpart copy of this letter where indicated
below. 
 Reporting Duties and Responsibilities. In this position, you will be reporting to Vic Viegas, President & CEO.

 Salary and Benefits. Your annual base salary of $235,000.22, is payable in accordance with the Company’s customary
payroll practice, which is bi-weekly. For payment purposes, the bi-weekly amount is $9,038.47. This offer is for a full-time, salaried, exempt position. Our Company’s focal reviews are normally conducted in January at which time your
performance will be evaluated. You will also receive the Company’s standard employee benefits package. A copy of our current benefits package is enclosed. Please note that the Company’s benefit package is subject to change at any time.

 In addition, you will be eligible to participate in the company’s Executive Incentive Plan (EIP) with a 50% target incentive.
Details of the EIP will be made available to you after your start date. You will also receive a one-time $25,000 bonus to be paid in March 2014. 

Relocation Assistance. You will be eligible for a lump sum payment of $20,000 of relocation assistance which will be paid within
thirty days of employment. 
 Please note that this relocation package may be considered taxable income and you should retain receipts for
income tax purposes. 
 In the event that you decide to voluntarily resign your position within 1 year of your start date, all relocation
assistance will be reimbursable to the company on a prorated basis, such that, for each full month of active employment, your reimbursement obligation will be reduced by 1/12th of the total amount
of relocation assistance payments provided. 
 Stock. You are eligible to choose between two stock offers: 150,000 stock
options or 125,000 stock options and 10,000 RSUs. Please indicate within three days of your date of hire which offer you select. For the stock options, effective upon board approval, the Company will grant you an option to purchase the
shares of the Company’s Common Stock pursuant to the Company’s stock option plan and standard stock option agreement. All options will have an exercise price that will be equal to the fair market value of the Company’s Common
Stock on the 10th business day in the month following the month of your start date. The options will become exercisable over a four-year exercise schedule with 25% of the shares vesting at
the end of your first twelve months of service, and with an additional 2.083% vesting per month thereafter, at the close of each month during which you remain employed with the Company. 

Change of Control Benefits. Subject to the approval of the Compensation Committee of the Board, the Company will enter into the
Retention and Ownership Change Event Agreement. 







 Confidential Information. As an employee of the Company, you will have access to certain
Company confidential information and you may during the course of your employment, develop certain information or inventions that will be the property of the Company. To protect the interest of the Company, you will need to sign the Company’s
standard “Employee Inventions and Confidentiality Agreement” as a condition of your employment. A copy of the agreement is attached for your review. We wish to impress upon you that we do not wish you to bring with you any confidential or
proprietary material of any former employer or to violate any other obligation to your former employers. 
 At-Will Employment. While
we look forward to a long and profitable relationship, should you decide to accept our offer, you will be an at-will employee of the Company, which means the employment relationship can be terminated by either of us for any reason at any time. Any
statements or representations to the contrary (and indeed, any statements contradicting any provision in this letter) should be regarded by you as ineffective. Further, your participation in any stock option or benefit program is not to be regarded
as assuring you of continuing employment for any particular period of time. 
 Authorization to Work. The Immigration Reform and
Control Act of 1986 requires you, within three business days of hire, to present documentation demonstrating that you have authorization to work in the United States. Acceptable documentation is shown on the form titled List of Acceptable
Documents. Please bring the appropriate documentation to the new employee orientation on your first day of employment. If you have questions about this requirement, which applies to U.S. citizens and non-U.S. citizens alike, please contact our
Human Resources department. 
 Term of Offer. This offer will expire at the close of business on 12/20/13. Upon acceptance of this
offer, please sign the enclosed copy of this letter in the space indicated and return it to me. Your signed acceptance below will become our binding agreement with respect to the subject matter of this letter, superseding in their entirety all other
or prior agreements by you with the Company as to the specific subjects of this letter, and will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of our respective successors and assigns, and heirs, administrators and executors, will be governed by
California law, and may only be amended in writing signed by you and the Company. 
 We are excited and pleased to have you join the
Immersion team in this exciting role and we look forward to a mutually beneficial working relationship. 
  

	
	 Sincerely,

	
	 /s/ Janice Passarello
