Dear Charlean,

Congratulations! We are delighted to offer you the opportunity to share in our vision of Better Living through Better Food. We are confident that your skills and experience will be an asset to our company, and are excited for you to become a part of our team.

This letter confirms our previous conversations regarding the employment opportunity available to you with Blue Apron, LLC (the “Company”), an affiliate of Blue Apron Holdings, Inc. (“Blue Apron” and, collectively with its affiliates, including the Company, the “Company Group”), and sets forth the terms and conditions of that employment.

The Company hereby offers you full-time employment as Chief Operating Officer of Blue Apron beginning on or about November 25, 2020 (“Commencement Date”) with an annual base salary of $450,000 at the Company's offices located in New York, New York (Liberty) with Responsibility for Operations in New Jersey, Texas and California. Following the first anniversary of the Commencement Date, at any time the Board of Directors of Blue Apron determines in its sole discretion to review executive compensation, Blue Apron will review your annual base salary based on your and the Company Group’s performance. Any future determinations regarding your compensation will be made in Blue Apron’s sole discretion. Your position is classified as exempt from the state and federal wage and hour laws, so you will not receive any overtime pay.

Equity

If you decide to join the Company, it will be recommended to Blue Apron’s Board of Directors that Blue Apron grant you an equity award of Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) of Blue Apron having a target value of $600,000 (the “New Hire Grant”) on Blue Apron’s next regular grant date occurring on or after the Commencement Date. Your New Hire Grant will vest over four years as follows: the first one-quarter (1/4) shall vest on the one-year anniversary of the date the New Hire Grant is made, and the balance shall vest quarterly over the following three (3) years in equal installments (on the applicable quarterly vesting date). The New Hire Grant will be subject to the terms and conditions of Blue Apron’s equity incentive

Your payment amount will be based on your performance against the goals you outline and align on with your manager and based on overall Company Group performance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, your bonus payment for the 2021 fiscal year shall be guaranteed at 100% of your target bonus amount (the “2021 Bonus”) and shall be paid on or before March 15, 2022. You must be employed by the Company on the date bonus payments are made to receive such bonus award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if your employment is terminated by the Company or Blue Apron without Cause (as such term defined in the Blue Apron Holdings, Inc.

If you decide to join the Company, it will also be recommended to Blue Apron’s Board of Directors that you be designated as a “Covered Employee” under Exhibit A of Blue Apron’s Executive Severance Benefits Plan and thus be eligible to receive the associated benefits thereunder. In addition to the foregoing, in the event that, following a Change in Control (as defined in the Severance Plan), Blue Apron or the Company (or any of their successors) terminates your employment without Cause or you resign for Good Reason (as defined in the Severance Plan) within twelve (12) months following such Change in Control you will be eligible to receive an additional cash severance amount equal to six (6) months of your base salary (“Additional Severance”).  The Additional Severance will be paid in regular installments on the same schedule as payroll payments are made, over the six (6)-month period commencing immediately after the due date for the last payment of the severance due to you under the Severance Plan, and otherwise in accordance with, and subject to, the terms and conditions of the Severance Plan.

I hope that you elect to accept this offer of employment. Kindly sign your name at the end of this letter to signify your understanding and acceptance of these terms and that no one at the Company has made any other representation to you. The Company welcomes you as an employee and looks forward to a successful relationship in which you will find your work both challenging and rewarding.
