Re: Transitional Services and Separation Agreement 
 Dear
Tom: 
 This confirms the details relating to the ending of your employment at Imprivata, Inc. (“Imprivata” or the “Company”). 

The Company sincerely appreciates your contributions over the years and would like to make this transition as smooth as possible. If you enter into this
Transitional Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) it will fully supersede your prior agreements or understandings with the Company regarding compensation and severance including, without limitation, the April 30, 2014 Employment
Agreement (the “Employment Agreement”). In the interest of clarity, your obligations under the Company’s Noncompetition, Nondisclosure and Inventions Agreement dated August 19, 2008 (the “Restrictive Covenant
Agreement”) shall continue to be in full force and effect. 
 With those understandings, you and the Company have agreed that your employment will end
on August 5, 2016, unless it is terminated on an earlier date by you (because you resign) or by the Company, subject to the terms of this Agreement. The last actual day of your employment, whether it is August 5, 2016 or an earlier date,
shall be referred to in this document as the “Separation Date.” 
 The following terms and conditions shall apply regardless of whether you elect
to accept or reject this Agreement: 
  

	 	•	 	Imprivata will pay you for your salary and earned commissions through the Separation Date; 

  

	 	•	 	you will be able to continue group medical and dental insurance coverage after the Separation Date under the law known as “COBRA”; 


 

	 	•	 	your eligibility to participate in any other employee benefit plans and programs of the Company will cease on or after the Separation Date in accordance with applicable benefit plan or program terms and practices; and


  

	 	•	 	the Restrictive Covenant Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. 








 In addition to the above described non-contingent terms, you will be entitled to Severance Benefits provided you
enter into this Agreement and satisfy each of the other Severance Conditions, both as described in Section 2. 
 With those understandings, by signing
below, you and the Company agree to the following: 
  

	1.	Transition Period 

 Imprivata will continue to employ you on an at-will basis through the
Separation Date. The time period between the date of this letter and the Separation Date shall be referred to as the “Transition Period”. You will continue to serve in the role of Senior Vice President, Worldwide Sales, although the
nature and scope of your duties may change at the discretion of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). You will be required to perform the responsibilities of your position and all other assigned responsibilities diligently
and competently and focus on effectively transitioning your duties and responsibilities as directed by the CEO. With respect to compensation, you will continue to receive your current base salary and be eligible for employee benefits throughout the
Transition Period. You will be entitled to commissions earned pursuant to the Company’s sales commission plan through the Separation Date but you will not be entitled to any other bonus or incentive compensation except as provided in
Section 2. 
  

	2.	Severance Benefits 

 You shall be entitled to the Severance Benefits described below provided you
satisfy each of the following Severance Conditions: (i) you enter into, do not revoke, and comply with this Agreement; (ii) you perform your job duties and otherwise fulfill your responsibilities as described in paragraph 1 above; and
(iii) you do not resign prior to August 5, 2016 without the express written approval of the CEO and you are not terminated for Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement) during the Transition Period: 

Provided you enter into, do not revoke and comply with this Agreement and satisfy each of the Severance Conditions, you will be entitled to the following
Severance Benefits:

($135K); and (ii) a portion of your targeted variable compensation for 2016 ($150K) (together the total of $285K shall be the “Severance Pay”). The Severance Pay shall be paid in in substantially equal installments over the six month
period that immediately follows the Separation Date pursuant to the Company’s regular payroll practices (the “Severance Pay Period”); 

(b) continuation of group health plan benefits to the extent authorized by and consistent with 29 U.S.C. § 1161 et
seq. (commonly known as COBRA), with the cost of the regular premium for such benefits shared in the same relative proportion by the Company and you as in effect on the Separation Date until the earlier of: (i) the last day of the Severance Pay
Period; or (ii) the date you become reemployed or otherwise ineligible for COBRA;

 (c) all unvested stock options and other stock–based awards with time-based
vesting held by you on the Separation Date shall immediately accelerate and become fully exercisable or nonforfeitable as of the Separation Date.

respect to payments and benefits under this Agreement to the extent that it reasonably and in good faith determines that it is required to make such deductions, withholdings and tax reports. Payments under this Agreement are stated in gross amounts

cases, actual or prospective). After returning all Company property, you commit to deleting and finally purging any duplicates of files or documents that may contain Company information from any non-Company computer or other device that remains your
property after the Separation Date. In the event that you discover that you continue to retain any such property, you shall return it to the Company immediately.

A and its terms are incorporated by reference herein.1

 EXHIBIT A 

[Restrictive Covenant Agreement]

 Exhibit A 

Imprivata, Inc. 

NONCOMPETITION, NONDISCLOSURE AND INVENTIONS AGREEMENT 

(For Officers and Key Employees) 

The undersigned, Brigiotta, in consideration for and as a condition of my initial employment as an employee (the
“Employee”) of Imprivata, Inc. (the “Company”), or for receiving stock or options or any other form of compensation from or in the Company, hereby agrees with the Company as follows: 

1. Noncompetition Covenant. During the period of employment as an officer and/or key employee of the Company, the Employee will
devote his available business time and best efforts to promoting and advancing the business of the Company. During the period of employment and for a period of one (1) year after termination of such employment (for any reason whatsoever), the
Employee agrees that he will not, whether alone or as a partner, officer, director, consultant, agent, employee or stockholder of any company or other commercial enterprise, engage in any business or other commercial activity which is or may be
competitive with the products and services being designed, conceived, marketed, distributed or developed by the Company at the time of termination of such employment. The foregoing prohibition shall not prevent employment or engagement by any
company or business organization, or any division thereof, not substantially engaged in the business of researching, developing designing, marketing or selling services and products for network-based biometric authentication and authorization (the
“Business”), as long as the activities of any such employment or engagement, in any capacity, does not involve work on matters directly related to the products or services being developed, marketed or sold by the Company at
the time of any termination of employment, or otherwise on behalf of an enterprise competitive to the Business. 
 2.
Nonsolicitation. During the period of employment by the Company and for a period of one (1) year after termination of such employment (for any reason), the Employee will not directly or indirectly either for himself or for any
other commercial enterprise, solicit, divert or take away or attempt to solicit, divert or take away, any of the Company’s customers, business or prospective customers in existence at the time of termination of such employment on behalf of an
enterprise competitive to the Business. For purposes of this Agreement, “prospective customers” shall include those customers being solicited by the Company at the time of the Employee’s termination. During such employment with the
Company and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, the Employee will not solicit or discuss with any employee of the Company the employment of such Company employee by any commercial enterprise, other than for the benefit of the Company, nor
recruit, attempt to recruit, hire, or attempt to hire any such Company employee other than on behalf of the Company. 
 3.
Nondisclosure Obligation. The Employee will not at any time, whether during or after the termination of employment, for any reason whatsoever (other than to promote and advance the business of the Company), reveal to any person or
entity (both commercial and non-commercial) any of the trade secrets or confidential business information concerning the Company: 







 
including, without limitation, its research and development activities; product designs, prototypes and technical specifications; show-how and know-how; marketing plans and strategies; pricing
and costing policies; customer and supplier lists and accounts; or nonpublic financial information of the Company so far as they have come or may come to the Employee’s knowledge, except as may be required in the ordinary course of performing
his duties as an employee of the Company. This restriction shall not apply to: (i) information that may be disclosed generally or is in the public domain through no fault of the Employee; (ii) information received from a third party
outside the Company that was disclosed without a breach of any confidentiality obligation; (iii) information approved for release by written authorization of the Company; or (iv) information that may be required by law or an order of any
court, agency or proceeding to be disclosed. The Employee shall keep secret all matters of such nature entrusted to him and shall not use or disclose any such information for the benefit of any third party in any manner which may injure or cause
loss to the Company, whether directly or indirectly. 
 4. Assignment of Inventions. The Employee expressly understands and
agrees that any and all right or interest he obtains in any designs, trade secrets, technical specifications and technical data, know-how and show-how, customer and vendor lists, marketing plans, pricing policies, inventions, concepts, ideas,
expressions, discoveries, improvements and patent or patent rights which are authored, conceived, devised, developed, reduced to practice, or otherwise obtained by him during the term of this Agreement which relate to or arise out of his employment
with the Company are expressly regarded as “works for hire” (the “Inventions”). The Employee hereby assigns to the Company the sole and exclusive right to such Inventions. The Employee agrees that he will promptly
disclose to the Company any and all such Inventions, and that, upon request of the Company, the Employee will execute and deliver any and all documents or instruments and take any other action which the Company shall deem necessary to assign to and
vest completely in the Company, to perfect trademark, copyright and patent protection with respect to, or to otherwise protect the Company’s trade secrets and proprietary interest in such Inventions. The obligations of this Section 4 shall
continue beyond the termination of the Employee’s employment with respect to such Inventions conceived of, reduced to practice, or developed by the Employee during the term of this Agreement. In the event that the Company is unable, after
reasonable effort, to secure the Employee’s signature on letters patent, copyright or other documents relating to any Inventions, whether because of the Employee’s physical or mental incapacity or for any other reason whatsoever, the
Employee hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as his agent and attorney-in-fact, to act for and in the Employee’s behalf and stead to execute and file any such application(s) and to
do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of letters patent, copyright or other documents with the same legal force and effect as if executed by the Employee. The Employee understands and agrees that the Company
shall determine, in its discretion, whether an application for patent, copyright or other intellectual property right shall be filed on any development assigned to the Company under this Agreement, and whether such an application shall be prosecuted
or abandoned prior to issuance or registration. The Company agrees to pay any and all copyright, trademark and patent fees and expenses or other costs incurred by the Employee for any assistance rendered to the Company pursuant to this
Section 4. 
 The Employee’s obligation to assign Inventions shall not apply to any invention about which the Employee can prove
that: (i) it was developed entirely on the Employee’s own time and with his/her own effort; (ii) no equipment, supplies, facility, trade secrets or confidential information of the Company was used in its development; (iii) it
does not relate to the business of the Company or 







 
to the Company’s actual or anticipated research and development activities; and (iv) it does not result from any work performed by the Employee for the Company. 

5. Absence of Conflicting Agreements. The Employee understands the Company does not desire to acquire from him any trade
secrets, know-how or confidential business information that he may have acquired from others. The Employee represents that he is not bound by any agreement or any other existing or previous business relationship which conflicts with or prevents the
full performance of the Employee’s duties and obligations to the Company during the course of employment. 
 6. Remedies Upon
Breach. The Employee agrees that any breach of this Agreement by the Employee could cause irreparable damage to the Company. The Company shall have, in addition to any and all remedies of law, the right to an injunction or other equitable
relief to prevent any violation of the Employee’s obligations hereunder. 
 7. Miscellaneous. Any waiver by the Company
of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach hereof. If one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to
scope, activity or subject matter so as to be unenforceable at law, such provision(s) shall be construed and reformed by the appropriate judicial body by limiting and reducing it (or them), so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent compatible
with the applicable law as it shall then appear. The obligations of the Employee under this Agreement shall survive the termination of the Employee’s relationship with the Company regardless of the manner of such termination. All covenants and
agreements hereunder shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the successors of the Company. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Employee
understands that this Agreement does not create an obligation on the part of the Company to continue the Employee’s employment with the Company. The Employee is employed as an employee “at will.” 

The Employee recognizes and agrees that the enforcement of this Agreement is necessary to ensure the preservation, protection and continuity
of the confidential business information, trade secrets and goodwill of the Company. The Employee agrees that, due to the proprietary nature of the Company’s business, the restrictions set forth in Sections 1, 2, 3 and 4 of this Agreement
are reasonable as to duration and scope. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned Employee and the Company have executed this Agreement as of this 1st day of August, 2008.
