On May 7, 2009 and May 8, 2009, iRobot Corporation (the “Company”) entered into Amended and Restated Executive Agreements (the “Amended Executive Agreements”) with each of the following executive officers: Colin M.

Dyer, President, Government & Industrial; Jeffrey A. Beck, President, Home Robots; Glen D. Weinstein, Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary; and Alison Dean, Vice President, Financial Controls and Analysis. The Amended Executive Agreements amend, restate and supersede the prior executive agreements by and between the Company and these executive officers.
The Amended Executive Agreements provide for severance payments equal to 50% of such executive officer’s annual base salary, as well as certain continued health benefits, in the event that the Company terminates his or her employment other than for cause, death or disability. In addition, the Amended Executive Agreements provide that if the Company experiences a change in control and the employment of such executive officer is terminated without cause, or if such executive officer terminates his or her employment for certain reasons including a substantial reduction in salary or bonus or geographic movement during the one-year period following the change in control, then all unvested stock options, awards and rights granted to such executive officer under any of the Company’s stock option plans become fully-vested and immediately exercisable and such executive officer is entitled to severance payments equal to 200% of his or her annual base salary and 200% of such executive officer’s annual bonus, as well as certain continued health benefits.
