7.At-Will Employment Relationship. You should be aware that your employment with the Company is for no specified period and constitutes at-will employment.

The at will employment relationship between you and the Company may not be changed, except by a specific written agreement signed by the CEO of the Company. We request that, in the event of resignation, you give the Company at least two (2) weeks’ notice.

8.Severance. You will be eligible for the following severance benefits (the “Severance Benefits”), each as described and pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth below.

(a)Termination without Cause/Resignation for Good Reason Not in Connection with a Change in Control. If the Company terminates your employment without Cause (as defined below) (other than as a result of your death or disability) or you resign for Good Reason (as defined below) (either such termination referred to as a “Qualifying Termination”) and the Company is not in a Change in Control Period (as defined in Section 8(b)), and provided such termination or resignation constitutes a Separation from Service (as defined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h), without regard to any alternative definition thereunder, a “Separation from Service”), then subject to Sections 10 (“Conditions to Receipt of Severance Benefits”) and 11 (“Return of Property”) below and your continued compliance with the terms of this Agreement (including without limitation Section 5 (“Compliance with Confidentiality Agreement and Company Policies”) above), the Company will provide you with the following as your sole severance benefits:

1)Cash Severance. The Company will pay you, as cash severance, twelve (12) months of your base salary in effect as of your Separation from Service date, less standard payroll deductions and tax withholdings. Subject to Section 14, the Company may pay this severance amount in either a lump sum payment or in installments in the form of continuation of your base salary payments. The Company will notify you of its election within ten (10) business days following the Qualifying Termination. Should the Company elect to pay you in a lump sum, such payment will be made on the Company’s first regular payroll date that is more than sixty (60) days following your Separation from Service date. Should the Company elect to pay you in installments, such installments will be paid on the Company’s ordinary payroll dates, commencing on the Company’s first regular payroll date that is more than sixty (60) days following your Separation from Service date, and shall be for any accrued base salary for the sixty (60)day period plus the period from the sixtieth (60th) day until the regular payroll date, if applicable, and all salary continuation payments thereafter, if any, shall be made on the Company’s regular payroll dates.

3

2)COBRA Severance. As an additional Severance Benefit, the Company will continue to pay the cost of your health care coverage in effect at the time of your Separation from Service, either under the Company’s regular health plan (if permitted), or by paying your COBRA premiums (the “COBRA Severance”), for a maximum of twelve (12) months. The Company’s obligation to pay the COBRA Severance on your behalf will cease if you obtain health care coverage from another source (e.g., a new employer or spouse’s benefit plan), unless otherwise prohibited by applicable law. You must notify the Company within two (2) weeks if you obtain coverage from a new source. This payment of COBRA Severance by the Company would not expand or extend the maximum period of COBRA coverage to which you would otherwise be entitled under applicable law. Notwithstanding the above, if the Company determines in its sole discretion that it cannot provide the foregoing COBRA Severance without potentially violating applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), the Company shall in lieu thereof provide to you a taxable monthly payment in an amount equal to the monthly COBRA premium that you would be required to pay to continue your group health coverage in effect on the date of your termination (which amount shall be based on the premium for the first month of COBRA coverage), which payments shall be made on the last day of each month regardless of whether you elect COBRA continuation coverage and shall end on the earlier of (x) the date upon which you obtain other coverage or (y) the last day of the sixth (6th) calendar month following your Separation from Service date.

(b)Termination without Cause/Resignation for Good Reason in Connection with a Change in Control. In the event of a Qualifying Termination that occurs during the period beginning one month prior to a Change in Control and ending twelve (12) months following the closing of such Change in Control (such period, the “Change in Control Period”), provided such Qualifying Termination constitutes a Separation from Service, then subject to Sections 10 (“Conditions to Receipt of Severance Benefits”) and 11 (“Return of Property”) below and your continued compliance with the terms of this Agreement (including without limitation Section 5 (“Compliance with Confidentiality Agreement and Company Policies”) above), then the Company will provide you with the following as your sole severance benefits:

1)Cash Severance. The Company will pay you, as cash severance, twelve (12) months of your base salary and 100% of your target bonus in effect as of your Separation from Service date, less standard payroll deductions and tax withholdings. Subject to Section 14, the Company may pay this severance amount in either a lump sum payment or in installments in the form of continuation of your base salary payments. The Company will notify you of its election within ten (10) business days following the Qualifying Termination. Should the Company elect to pay you in a lump sum, such payment will be made on the Company’s first regular payroll date that is more than sixty (60) days following your Separation from Service date. Should the Company elect to pay you in installments, such installments will be paid on the Company’s ordinary payroll dates, commencing on the Company’s first regular payroll date that is more than sixty (60) days following your Separation from Service date, and shall be for any accrued base salary for the sixty (60)-day period plus the period from the sixtieth (60th) day until the regular payroll date, if applicable, and all salary continuation payments thereafter, if any, shall be made on the Company’s regular payroll dates.

2)COBRA Severance. As an additional Severance Benefit, the Company will provide you COBRA Severance for a maximum of eighteen (18) months. The Company’s obligation to pay the COBRA Severance on your behalf will cease if you obtain health care coverage from another source (e.g., a new employer or spouse’s benefit plan), unless otherwise prohibited by applicable law. You must notify the Company within two (2) weeks if you obtain coverage from a new source. This payment of COBRA Severance by the Company would not expand or extend the maximum period of

4

COBRA coverage to which you would otherwise be entitled under applicable law. Notwithstanding the above, if the Company determines in its sole discretion that it cannot provide the foregoing COBRA Severance without potentially violating applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), the Company shall in lieu thereof provide to you a taxable monthly payment in an amount equal to the monthly COBRA premium that you would be required to pay to continue your group health coverage in effect on the date of your termination (which amount shall be based on the premium for the first month of COBRA coverage), which payments shall be made on the last day of each month regardless of whether you elect COBRA continuation coverage and shall end on the earlier of (x) the date upon which you obtain other coverage or (y) the last day of the twelfth (12th) calendar month following your Separation from Service date.

3)Accelerated Vesting. As an additional Severance Benefit, the Company shall accelerate the vesting of any equity awards then held by you such that one hundred percent (100%) of such awards shall be deemed immediately vested (and, as applicable, exercisable) as of your Separation from Service date, except to the extent that the equity award grant documentation relating to an equity award contains an explicit provision to the contrary.

9.Resignation Without Good Reason; Termination for Cause; Death or Disability. If, at any time, you resign your employment without Good Reason, or the Company terminates your employment for Cause, or if either party terminates your employment as a result of your death or disability, you will receive your base salary accrued through your last day of employment, as well as any unused vacation (if applicable) accrued through your last day of employment. Under these circumstances, you will not be entitled to any other form of compensation from the Company, including any Severance Benefits, other than any rights to which you are entitled under the Company’s benefit programs. In addition, under no circumstance will you receive the Severance Benefits under both Sections 8(a) and 8(b) above.

10.Conditions to Receipt of Severance Benefits. Prior to and as a condition to your receipt of any of the Severance Benefits described above, you shall execute and deliver to the Company an effective release of claims in favor of and in a form acceptable (with customary carve outs for continued indemnification by the Company and rights to vested benefits and equity awards) to the Company (the “Release”) within the timeframe set forth therein, but not later than forty-five (45) days following your Separation from Service date, and allow the Release to become effective according to its terms (by not invoking any legal right to revoke it) within any applicable time period set forth therein (such latest permitted effective date, the “Release Deadline”).

11.Return of Company Property. Upon the termination of your employment for any reason, as a precondition to your receipt of the Severance Benefits (if applicable), within five (5) days after your Separation from Service Date (or earlier if requested by the Company), you will return to the Company all Company documents (and all copies thereof) and other Company property within your possession, custody or control, including, but not limited to, Company files, notes, financial and operational information, customer lists and contact information, product and services information, research and development information, drawings, records, plans, forecasts, reports, payroll information, spreadsheets, studies, analyses, compilations of data, proposals, agreements, sales and marketing information, personnel information, specifications, code, software, databases, computer-recorded information, tangible property and equipment (including, but not limited to, computers, facsimile machines, mobile telephones, tablets, handheld devices, and servers), credit cards, entry cards, identification badges and keys, and any materials of any kind which contain or embody any proprietary or confidential information of the Company, and all reproductions thereof in whole or in part and in any medium. You further agree that you will make a diligent search to locate any such documents, property and information and return them to the Company

5

within the timeframe provided above. In addition, if you have used any personally-owned computer, server, or e-mail system to receive, store, review, prepare or transmit any confidential or proprietary data, materials or information of the Company, then within five (5) days after your Separation from Service date you must provide the Company with a computer-useable copy of such information and permanently delete and expunge such confidential or proprietary information from those systems without retaining any reproductions (in whole or in part); and you agree to provide the Company access to your system, as requested, to verify that the necessary copying and deletion is done. If requested, you shall deliver to the Company a signed statement certifying compliance with this section prior to the receipt of the Severance Benefits.

12.Outside Activities. During your employment by the Company, except on behalf of the Company, you will not directly or indirectly serve as an officer, director (except as otherwise provided for in Section 1(a) above), stockholder, employee, partner, proprietor, investor, joint venturer, associate, representative or consultant of any other person, corporation, firm, partnership or other entity whatsoever known by you to compete with the Company (or is planning or preparing to compete with the Company), anywhere in the world, in any line of business engaged in (or planned to be engaged in) by the Company; provided, however, that you may purchase or otherwise acquire up to (but not more than) one percent (1%) of any class of securities of any enterprise (but without participating in the activities of such enterprise) if such securities are listed on any national or regional securities exchange.

13.Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” for termination will mean your: (a) conviction (including a guilty plea or plea of nolo contendere) of any felony; (b) commission or attempted commission of or participation in a fraud or act of dishonesty or misrepresentation against the Company; (c) willful and continued failure to follow the lawful directions of the Board; (d) deliberate harm or injury, or attempt to deliberately harm or injure, the Company; (e) willful misconduct that materially discredits or xxxxx the Company or its reputation; (f) material violation or breach of any written and fully executed contract or agreement between you and the Company, including without limitation, material breach of your Confidentiality Agreement, or of any Company policy, or of any statutory duty you owe to the Company; (g) gross negligence or willful misconduct; (h) failure to cooperate with any investigation as requested by the Board or (i) unauthorized use of confidential information that causes material harm to the Company; provided, however, that, with respect to clauses (c), (f) or (h) and if the event giving rise to the claim of Cause is curable, the Company provides written notice to you of the event within thirty (30) days of the Company learning of the occurrence of such event, and such Cause event remains uncured thirty (30) days after the Company has provided such written notice you. The determination that a termination is for Cause shall be made by the Company in its sole and reasonable discretion.

For purposes of this Agreement, you shall have “Good Reason” for resigning from employment with the Company if any of the following actions are taken by the Company without your prior written consent: (a) a material reduction in your base salary or target annual bonus (unless pursuant to a salary reduction program applicable generally to the Company’s similarly situated employees); (b) a material reduction in your Duties; provided, however, that a change in job position (including a change in title or change in reporting structure) resulting from a Change in Control transaction shall not be deemed a “material reduction” in and of itself unless your new authority, responsibilities and/or duties are materially reduced from your prior authority, responsibilities and/or duties; or (c) relocation of your principal place of employment to a place that increases your oneway commute by more than thirty-five (35) miles as compared to your then-current principal place of employment immediately prior to such relocation. In

6

order to resign for Good Reason, you must provide written notice to the Company’s Chief Legal Officer within 90 days after the first occurrence of the event giving rise to Good Reason setting forth the basis for your resignation, allow the Company at least 30 days from receipt of such written notice to cure such event, and if such event is not reasonably cured within such period, you must resign from all positions you then hold with the Company not later than 30 days after the expiration of the cure period.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Change in Control” shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Stitch Fix, Inc. 2017 Incentive Plan, as it may be amended from time to time.

14.Compliance with Section 409A. It is intended that the Severance Benefits set forth in this Agreement satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the exemptions from the application of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the “Code”) (Section 409A, together with any state law of similar effect, “Section 409A”) provided under Treasury Regulations 1.409A-1(b)(4), 1.409A-1(b)(5) and 1.409A-1(b)(9). For purposes of Section 409A (including, without limitation, for purposes of Treasury Regulations 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii)), your right to receive any installment payments under this Agreement (whether severance payments, reimbursements or otherwise) shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate payments and, accordingly, each installment payment hereunder shall at all times be considered a separate and distinct payment. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Company (or, if applicable, the successor entity thereto) determines that any of the Severance Benefits constitute “deferred compensation” under Section 409A and you are, on the date of your Separation from Service, a “specified employee” of the Company or any successor entity thereto, as such term is defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code (a “Specified Employee”), then, solely to the extent necessary to avoid the incurrence of adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A, the timing of such Severance Benefits shall be delayed until the earliest of: (i) the date that is six (6) months and one (1) day after your Separation from Service date, (ii) the date of your death, or (iii) such earlier date as permitted under Section 409A without the imposition of adverse taxation. Upon the first business day following the expiration of such applicable Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) period, all payments or benefits deferred pursuant to this section shall be paid in a lump sum or provided in full by the Company (or the successor entity thereto, as applicable), and any remaining payments due shall be paid as otherwise provided herein. No interest shall be due on any amounts so deferred. If any of the Severance Benefits are not covered by one or more exemptions from the application of Section 409A and the Release could become effective in the calendar year following the calendar year in which you have a Separation from Service, the Release will not be deemed effective any earlier than the Release Deadline. The Severance Benefits are intended to qualify for an exemption from application of Section 409A or comply with its requirements to the extent necessary to avoid adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein shall be interpreted accordingly. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent required to comply with Section 409A, a termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of amounts or benefits upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination is also a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. With respect to reimbursements or in-kind benefits provided to you hereunder (or otherwise) that are not exempt from Section 409A, the following rules shall apply: (i) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided, during any one of your taxable years shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefit to be provided in any other taxable year, (ii) in the case of any reimbursements of eligible expenses, reimbursement shall be made on or before the last day of your taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred, (iii) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. If the Company’s ability to choose between a lump sum severance payment or a series of severance payments could subject you to adverse taxation under Section 409A, then such severance payments shall be paid in installments in the case of payments

7

under Section 8(a)(1), and in a lump sum in the case of payments under Section 8(b)(1); provided, however, that if this difference in default treatment would subject you to adverse taxation under Section 409A, then such severance payments shall be made in a lump sum in the case of payments under Section 8(a)(1) or 8(b)(1).

15.Section 280G; Parachute Payments.

(a)If any payment or benefit you will or may receive from the Company or otherwise (a “280G Payment”) would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then any such 280G Payment provided pursuant to this Agreement (a “Payment”) shall be equal to the Reduced Amount. The “Reduced Amount” shall be either (x) the largest portion of the Payment that would result in no portion of the Payment (after reduction) being subject to the Excise Tax or (y) the largest portion, up to and including the total, of the Payment, whichever amount (i.e., the amount determined by clause (x) or by clause (y)), after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate), results in your receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater economic benefit notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax. If a reduction in a Payment is required pursuant to the preceding sentence and the Reduced Amount is determined pursuant to clause (x) of the preceding sentence, the reduction shall occur in the manner (the “Reduction Method”) that results in the greatest economic benefit for you. If more than one method of reduction will result in the same economic benefit, the items so reduced will be reduced pro rata (the “Pro Rata Reduction Method”).

(b)Notwithstanding any provision of subsection (a) above to the contrary, if the Reduction Method or the Pro Rata Reduction Method would result in any portion of the Payment being subject to taxes pursuant to Section 409A that would not otherwise be subject to taxes pursuant to Section 409A, then the Reduction Method and/or the Pro Rata Reduction Method, as the case may be, shall be modified so as to avoid the imposition of taxes pursuant to Section 409A as follows: (A) as a first priority, the modification shall preserve to the greatest extent possible, the greatest economic benefit for you as determined on an after-tax basis; (B) as a second priority, Payments that are contingent on future events (e.g., being terminated without Cause), shall be reduced (or eliminated) before Payments that are not contingent on future events; and (C) as a third priority, Payments that are “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A shall be reduced (or eliminated) before Payments that are not deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A.

(c)Unless you and the Company agree on an alternative accounting firm or law firm, the accounting firm engaged by the Company for general tax compliance purposes as of the day prior to the effective date of the Change in Control transaction shall perform the foregoing calculations. If the accounting firm so engaged by the Company is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the change in control transaction, the Company shall appoint a nationally recognized accounting or law firm to make the determinations required by this Section 15 (“Section 280G; Parachute Payments”). The Company shall bear all expenses with respect to the determinations by such accounting or law firm required to be made hereunder. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the accounting or law firm engaged to make the determinations hereunder to provide its calculations, together with detailed supporting documentation, to you and the Company within fifteen (15) calendar days after the date on which your right to a 280G Payment becomes reasonably likely to occur (if requested at that time by you or the Company) or such other time as requested by you or the Company.

8

(d)If you receive a Payment for which the Reduced Amount was determined pursuant to clause (x) of Section 15(a) and the Internal Revenue Service determines thereafter that some portion of the Payment is subject to the Excise Tax, you agree to promptly return to the Company a sufficient amount of the Payment (after reduction pursuant to clause (x) of Section 15(a)) so that no portion of the remaining Payment is subject to the Excise Tax. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Reduced Amount was determined pursuant to clause (y) of Section 15(a), you shall have no obligation to return any portion of the Payment pursuant to the preceding sentence.

16.Dispute Resolution. Section 9 of the Confidentiality Agreement (Arbitration; Legal and Equitable Remedies) shall apply to the terms of this letter and any disputes that may arise in connection with your employment with the Company.

17.Miscellaneous. This Agreement, together with your Confidentiality Agreement, forms the complete and exclusive statement of your employment agreement with the Company. It supersedes any other agreements or promises made to you by anyone, whether oral or written. Changes in your employment terms, other than those changes expressly reserved to the Company’s or Board’s discretion in this Agreement, require a written modification approved by the Company and signed by a duly authorized officer of the Company, the Chairperson of the Board or the Lead Independent Director of the Board. This Agreement will bind the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of both you and the Company, and inure to the benefit of both you and the Company, their heirs, successors and assigns. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, this determination shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement and the provision in question shall be modified so as to be rendered enforceable in a manner consistent with the intent of the parties insofar as possible under applicable law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to conflicts of law principles. Any ambiguity in this Agreement shall not be construed against either party as the drafter. Any waiver of a breach of this Agreement, or rights hereunder, shall be in writing and shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any successive breach or rights hereunder. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts which shall be deemed to be part of one original, and facsimile and electronic image copies of signatures shall be equivalent to original signatures.

Please sign and date this Agreement and return it to me if you wish to accept employment at the Company under the terms described above. I would be happy to discuss any questions that you may have about these terms.

We are delighted to be making this offer and the Company looks forward to your favorable reply and to a productive and enjoyable work relationship.

Sincerely,
