 Re: Change in Control / Severance Agreement 
 Dear Wayne: 

This Offer Letter (the “Letter”) sets forth the terms of your employment with Demandware, Inc. (the “Company”).
Reference is made to the offer letter between you and the Company dated August 4, 2004, and to any prior agreement, written or oral, regarding your employment with the Company (collectively, the “Prior Agreement”). Upon your execution
of this Letter, this Letter amends and restates the Prior Agreement in its entirety and the Prior Agreement shall no longer be of any force or effect. 
 1. You will continue to be employed to serve on a full-time basis as Chief Technology Officer. You will continue to report to the CEO and have such duties and responsibilities as are customary for such
position and as are otherwise assigned to you by the CEO from time to time. 
 2. Your salary will continue to be $17,083 per
month ($205,000 on an annualized basis), subject to tax and other withholdings as required by law. Such salary may be adjusted from time to time in accordance with normal business practice and in the sole discretion of the Company. 

3. You will continue to be eligible for an annual bonus of up to $55,000, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion and in future
years as determined by the Board in its sole discretion. You may participate in any and all other bonus and benefit programs that the Company establishes and makes available to its employees from time to time, provided you are eligible under (and
subject to all provisions of) the plan documents governing those programs. 
 4. You may be eligible for a maximum of 160 hours
of “paid time off” per calendar year. The number of PTO hours for which you are eligible shall accrue at the rate of 6.66 hours per semi-monthly pay period that you are employed during such calendar year. 

5. You and the Company acknowledge that, in connection with grants previously authorized by the Board, the Company has granted you equity
awards under the Company’s 2004 Stock Option and Grant Plan (the “Plan”). In the event of a Change of Control (as defined below), the vesting schedule for your outstanding equity awards will be accelerated in full such that 100% of

 
such awards that are not then vested will be accelerated and become vested and exercisable upon the consummation of the Change of Control. 

6. If, within six months after the closing of a Change of Control, the Company terminates your employment without Cause (as defined
below) or you resign for Good Reason (as defined below), you shall be eligible to receive (a) an amount equal to the remaining salary you would have received if you had been employed through the date that is twelve months following the
termination date, less applicable taxes and withholdings, payable in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll procedures over the twelve-month period following the Payment Commencement Date (as defined below), (b) payment of a lump
sum equal to 100% of your target annual cash bonus for the year in which the Change of Control occurs (without regard to the relative achievement of any performance milestones which would otherwise impact payment of the target bonus) payable on the
Payment Commencement Date and (c) medical benefits or credits substantially the same as those provided to you at the time of termination for a period of six months after the date of termination. No severance shall be paid under this Letter
unless you first execute, and do not revoke, a waiver and release within 60 days following the date of termination, which provides for a release of any and all claims that you have or might have against the Company. The severance payments shall be
paid or commence on the first payroll period following the date the waiver and release becomes effective (the “Payment Commencement Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the 60th day following the date of termination occurs in the
calendar year following the calendar year of the termination, then the Payment Commencement Date shall be no earlier than January 1 of such subsequent calendar year. The distribution of any severance payments shall be subject to the provisions
of Exhibit A attached hereto. 
 7. For purposes of this Letter, “Cause” for termination shall be deemed to
exist upon (a) a good faith finding by the Board of (i) your deliberate and continual failure to satisfactorily perform your assigned duties for the Company, after ten (10) days’ written notice by certified mail of such failure
to perform, specifying that the failure constitutes Cause (other than as a result of authorized vacation or sickness, illness or injury), or (ii) your dishonesty, gross negligence or gross misconduct in connection with the business of the
Company which has a substantial adverse effect on the Company; (b) your indictment or conviction, or the entry of a pleading of guilty or nolo contendere by you, to any crime involving moral turpitude or any felony, but excluding any conviction
arising as a result of your title or position with the Company and that is not based on your personal conduct; or (c) your violation of any of the terms of your invention/non-disclosure or non-competition agreement with the Company, signed in
connection with your execution of this Letter. You shall be entitled to at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice of the Company’s intention to terminate your employment for “Cause” (as defined herein) (except for
conviction of a felony) specifying the grounds for such termination, and a reasonable opportunity to cure any conduct or act, if curable, alleged as grounds for such termination, and a reasonable opportunity to present to the Board your position
regarding any dispute relating to the existence of such Cause. For purposes of this Letter, “Good Reason” shall mean, without your consent, (a) the relocation of your principal place of employment with the Company to a place more than
fifty (50) miles from your initial principal place of employment with the Company (other than in a direction that reduces your daily commuting distance); (b) a reduction in the level of your (then) base salary of more than 20%; or
(c) a material diminution in your duties, authority or responsibilities.

 8. For purposes of this Letter, “Change of Control” shall mean, regardless of form
thereof, consummation of (a) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company on a consolidated basis to an unrelated person or entity, (b) a merger, reorganization or consolidation in which the outstanding shares of
capital stock of the Company are converted into or exchanged for securities of the successor entity and the holders of the Company’s outstanding voting power immediately prior to such transaction do not own a majority of the outstanding voting
power of the successor entity immediately upon completion of such transaction, (c) the sale of all or a majority of the outstanding capital stock of the Company to an unrelated person or entity or (d) any other transaction in which the
owners of the Company’s outstanding voting power immediately prior to such transaction do not own at least a majority of the outstanding voting power of the successor entity immediately upon completion of the transaction; provided, however,
that “Change of Control” shall not include any financing transaction of the Company (whether public or private) that would otherwise be and/or trigger a “Change of Control” under (c) and/or (d) above. 

9. You acknowledge that you have previously executed an Invention and Non-Disclosure Agreement and a Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation
Agreement in the forms previously provided to you, as a condition of employment. 
 10. You represent that you are not bound by
any employment contract, restrictive covenant or other restriction which is in any way inconsistent with the terms of this Letter. 
 11. You acknowledge that you have previously provided to the Company documentation of your eligibility to work in the United States, as required by the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986. If you
need to obtain a work visa in order to be eligible to work in the United States, you acknowledge that your employment with the Company is conditioned upon your obtaining a work visa in a timely manner as determined by the Company. 

12. This Letter shall not be construed as an agreement, either expressed or implied, to employ you for any stated term, and shall in no
way alter the Company’s policy of employment at will, under which both you and the Company remain free to terminate the employment relationship, with or without cause, at any time, with or without notice, subject to the terms specific above.

 Exhibit A 

Payments Subject to Section 409A 
 1. Subject to this Exhibit A, payments or benefits under Section 6 of the Letter shall begin only upon the date of your “separation from service” (determined as set forth below) which
occurs on or after the termination of your employment. The following rules shall apply with respect to distribution of the payments and benefits, if any, to be provided to you under the Letter, as applicable: 

(a) It is intended that each installment of the payments and benefits provided in the Letter shall be treated as a
separate “payment” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code and the guidance issued thereunder (“Section 409A”). Neither the Company nor you shall have the right to accelerate or defer the delivery of any such payments or
benefits except to the extent specifically permitted or required by Section 409A. 
 (b) If, as of the date
of your “separation from service” from the Company, you are not a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A), then each installment of the payments and benefits shall be made on the dates and terms set forth
in Section 6 of the Letter. 
 (c) If, as of the date of your “separation from service” from the
Company, you are a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A), then: 
 (i) Each
installment of the payments and benefits due under Section 6 of the Letter that, in accordance with the dates and terms set forth herein, will in all circumstances, regardless of when your separation from service occurs, be paid within the
Short-Term Deferral Period (as defined under Section 409A) shall be treated as a short-term deferral within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) to the maximum extent permissible under Section 409A; and

 (ii) Each installment of the payments and benefits due under Section 6 of the Letter that is not
described in this Exhibit A, Section 1(c)(i) and that would, absent this subsection, be paid within the six-month period following your “separation from service” from the Company shall not be paid until the date that is six months and
one day after such separation from service (or, if earlier, your death), with any such installments that are required to be delayed being accumulated during the six-month period and paid in a lump sum on the date that is six months and one day
following your separation from service and any subsequent installments, if any, being paid in accordance with the dates and terms set forth herein; provided, however, that the preceding provisions of this sentence shall not apply to any installment
of payments and benefits if and to the maximum extent that that such installment is deemed to be paid under a separation pay plan that does not provide for a deferral of compensation by reason of the application of Treasury
Regulation 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) (relating to separation pay upon an involuntary separation from service). Any installments that qualify for the exception under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) must be paid no later than the
last day of your second taxable year following the taxable year in which the separation from service occurs. 
 2. The
determination of whether and when your separation from service from the Company has occurred shall be made and in a manner consistent with, and based on the 

 
presumptions set forth in, Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h). Solely for purposes of this Exhibit A, Section 2, “Company” shall include all persons with whom the Company
would be considered a single employer under Section 414(b) and 414(c) of the Code. 
 3. All reimbursements and in-kind
benefits provided under the Letter shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A to the extent that such reimbursements or in-kind benefits are subject to Section 409A. 

4. The Company makes no representation or warranty and shall have no liability to you or to any other person if any of the provisions of
the Letter (including this Exhibit) are determined to constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A but that do not satisfy an exemption from, or the conditions of, that section.

 Dear Stephan: 

On behalf of Demandware, Inc. (the “Company”), I am pleased to set forth the revised terms of your employment with the Company:

 1. You will be employed to serve as Executive Chairman, effective March 1, 2007. As Executive Chairman, you will report
to the Board of Directors. We anticipate that this position will take your full dedication, time and attention but understand that as part of this role you may participate in activities not directly related to Demandware operations; for example,
researching new technologies, serving on outside boards, working with venture capital groups, attending executive education seminars. We ask that these activities at all times be noncompetitive to Demandware, and wherever possible, directly or
indirectly contribute to the company’s success. 
 2. Your salary will be $16,666.67 per month, subject to tax and other
withholdings as required by law. Such salary may be adjusted from time to time in accordance with normal business practice and in the sole discretion of the Company. In addition, you will continue to be entitled to a company performance bonus of
$50,000 per year at 100% target, to be paid in accordance with the management bonus plan. 
 3. You will be eligible to
participate in all other employee welfare benefit plans generally made available by the Company to similarly situated employees. With respect to group health insurance, however, the Company will reimburse you for your monthly health insurance
payments of up to $ 1,700 for health/dental insurance. 
 4. You will be entitled to a maximum of 30 Paid Time Off Days (PTO
days) per calendar year. These days may be used for vacation. They must also be used for days absent from work due to illness, sick days, or other personal reasons. The number of PTO days for which you are eligible shall accrue at the rate of 2.083
days per month that you are employed during such calendar year, and will not be paid for in advance. You may not accrue more than your applicable maximum allotment of PTO days. 

5. You represent that you are not bound by any employment contract, restrictive covenant or other restriction preventing you from
entering into employment 

 
with or carrying out your responsibilities for the Company, or which is in any way inconsistent with the terms of this letter. 

6. Your current unvested stock will be immediately vested on accepting this position, in line with your original employment agreement.
All other provisions of your shareholding agreement will remain in effect. 
 7. This letter shall not be construed as an
agreement, either expressed or implied, to employ you for any stated term, and shall in no way alter the Company's policy of employment at will, under which both you and the Company remain free to terminate the employment relationship, with or
without cause, at any time, with or without notice. Similarly, nothing in this letter shall be construed as an agreement, either express or implied, to pay you any compensation or grant you any benefit beyond the end of your employment with the
Company. 
 8. You agree this letter represents the entire agreement between you and the Company with respect to the subject
matter hereof. This letter supersedes all other written or oral agreements between you and the Company, including, without limitation, that certain offer letter dated August 4, 2004 from the Company to you. 

If you agree with the employment provisions of this letter, please sign the enclosed duplicate of this letter in the space provided below
and return it to Larry Bohn, by [insert date]. If you do not accept this offer by [insert date], this offer will be revoked.
