To the best of his ability in doing so, the Employee will comply with the instructions given to him by or on behalf of the Employer.

Employee shall report to the Chief Executive Officer of the uniQure Group Companies.

This Agreement replaces and supersedes the prior Employment Agreement dated March 1, 2020, which is contemporaneously terminated as of the Effective Date of this Agreement. No agreements other than this Agreement govern the employment relationship between Employer and Employee. As of the Effective Date, Employee no longer holds the title of Chief Accounting Officer.

The Employer shall be entitled to assign other duties than the usual activities of the Employee, or to alter the position of the Employee if in the reasonable opinion of the Employer the business circumstances so require.

The Employee shall not be engaged in any business activity which, in the judgment of the Employer, conflicts with Employee’s ability to carry out his duties for the Employer.

The work will be performed at the office of the Employer at Paasheuvelweg 25a (1105 BP) in Amsterdam provided, however, that the Employee shall be required to travel from time to time for business purposes.

Severance Payments.

lf the Agreement is terminated on the initiative of Employer, other than in the case of summary dismissal as referred to in article 7:677 of the Dutch Civil Code, long-term illness (article 7:669 section 3 under b Dutch Civil Code) or severely culpable acts or omissions by Employee as referred to in article 7:669 section 3 under the Dutch Civil Code, Employer shall grant the Employee severance pay equal to 100% of (i) the annual Base Salary, plus (ii) the amount of the Target Bonus (i.e., Forty percent (40%) of the annual Base Salary (as defined in Clause 3)), (hereinafter: 'Severance Pay') subject to deductions that are authorized by Employee and/or required by applicable laws and regulations.

lf the Agreement is terminated on the initiative of Employer within the period beginning ninety (90) days before and continuing until twelve (12) months after a Change of Control (as defined below), long-term illness (article 7:669 section 3 under b Dutch Civil Code) or severely culpable acts or omissions by Employee as referred to in article 7:669 section 3 under the Dutch Civil Code, clause 2.4.1 shall not apply and, instead, Employer shall grant the Employee severance pay equal to 150% of (i) the annual Base Salary, plus (ii) the amount of the Target Bonus (i.e., Forty percent (40%) of the annual Base Salary), (hereinafter: 'Severance Pay on a Change of Control') subject to deductions that are authorized by Employee and/or required by applicable laws and regulations.  Employer shall not owe any payments or partial payments of any kind under both clauses 2.4.1 and 2.4.2, which are mutually exclusive.

If Severance Pay under clause 2.4.1 or Severance Pay on a Change of Control under clause 2.4.2 is owed to the Employee, then the Employer shall grant the Employee additional severance pay equal to a prorated Target Bonus amount for the year of termination as provided in this clause (the “Pro-rata Bonus”). The Pro-rata Bonus shall be the product of the formula B x D/365 where B represents the Target Bonus (i.e., Forty percent (40%)  of the annual Base Salary)), and D represents the number of days elapsed in the calendar year through the date of the separation of Executive’s employment from the Employer.

lf and insofar as Employee is entitled to the transition payment as referred to in article 7:673 of the Dutch Civil Code, this transition payment shall be deemed to be factored into the Severance pay, the Severance pay on a Change of Control, and the Pro-Rata Bonus.

In the event of a termination under this clause 2.4, the Employer shall provide 4 months' notice to the Employee. The Employer, in its sole discretion subject to applicable law, may choose to put the Employee on garden leave at any time during the notice period. Garden leave will be considered equal to continuation of full-time employment, but the Employee will be released from his working duties. In the event that the Employee is placed on garden

In the event of a Change of Control as defined below, the vesting conditions that may apply to any stock options, restricted shares, restricted stock units, performance stock units or other grants of equity held by Executive pursuant to this Agreement and the Company’s Amended and Restated 2014 Share Incentive Plan will be automatically waived and shall be deemed fully vested immediately prior to the Change of Control event. All Stock Options will be deemed to be fully exercisable commencing on the date of and immediately prior to the Change of Control and ending on the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Change of Control or, if earlier, the expiration of the term of such Stock Options.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Change of Control” shall mean the date on which any of the following events occurs:

any “person,” as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”) (other than uniQure N.V.

The salary, including the holiday allowance, shall be paid in 12 equal, monthly instalments ultimately by the end of each calendar month. The Employee will work on a fulltime basis, 1,0 FTE and, therefore, the actual monthly salary is EUR 27,083,33.  In case of part time employment, all earnings will be pro-rated.

Confidentiality obligation

Both during the term of the Agreement and after the Agreement has been terminated for any reason whatsoever, the Employee shall not make any statements in any way whatsoever to anyone whomsoever (including other personnel of the Employer, unless these should be informed of anything in connection with the work they perform for the Employer), regarding matters, activities and interests of a confidential nature related to the business of the Employer and/or the Employer’s affiliates, of which the Employee became aware within the scope of his work for the Employer and the confidential nature of which he is or should be aware (“Confidential Information”). The Confidential Information includes, inter alia, information about the Employer’s products, processes and services, including but not limited to, information relating to research, development, inventions, manufacture, purchasing, engineering, marketing, merchandising and selling.

For all oral and written publications by the Employee, which can or could harm the interests of the Employer, prior approval from the Employer has to be obtained. This approval shall only be refused on sincere grounds based on those interests.

All information exchanged via the Employer’s email system is considered to be Employer’s proprietary information and should be taken care of accordingly.

The Employee agrees that the confidentiality obligations set forth in this clause 10 supersede the Employee’s obligations to any other company, fund or other organization with which the Employee may have a relationship (“Affiliated Entities”) and that any Confidential Information that Employee receives will only be used within the scope of his employment under this Agreement or any successor agreement with Employer and will not be used during the course of his relationship, or communicated through by any means to, any Affiliated Entity.

Non-competition and business relationship clause

Both during the term of the Agreement and for a period of one year after the Agreement has been terminated for any reason whatsoever, without the prior written consent of the Employer, the Employee shall not be engaged or involved or have any share in any manner whatsoever, directly or indirectly, whether on his own behalf or for third parties, in any enterprise which conducts activities in a field similar to or otherwise competing with that of the Employer and/or the Employer’s affiliates, nor act, in any manner whatsoever, directly or indirectly, whether on his own behalf or for third parties, as an intermediary in relation to such activities.

Both during the term of the Agreement and for a period of one year after the Agreement has been terminated for any reason whatsoever, without the prior written consent of the Employer, the Employee shall not perform or have performed professional services in connection with any product or research or development or commercialization that competes with products, or research or development or commercialization of Employer, directly or indirectly, whether on his own behalf or for third parties, nor enter into contacts, in that respect, directly or indirectly, whether on his own behalf or for third parties, with clients and/or relations of the Employer and/or the Employer’s affiliates and/or purchasers of products and/or services of the Employer and/or the Employer's affiliates.

Clients and/or relations of the Employer and/or the Employer’s affiliates such as set out in article 13.2 of this Agreement shall in all events mean relations of the Employer and/or the Employer’s affiliates with which the Employer has or has had (business) contact in any manner whatsoever throughout the course of, or otherwise prior to the termination of, the Agreement.

Both during the term of the Agreement and for a period of one year after the Agreement has been terminated for any reason whatsoever, without the prior written consent of the Employer, the Employee shall refrain from becoming engaged or involved in any manner whatsoever, directly or indirectly, whether on his own behalf or for third parties, in actively enticing away, taking (or causing to have taken) into employment, nor make use of, in any manner whatsoever, directly or indirectly, whether on his own behalf or for third parties, the type of work of employees or persons who in a period of one year prior to the termination of the Agreement of the Employee are or have been in the employment of the Employer and/or the Employer’s affiliates.

Employee acknowledges and agrees to adhere to this clause as the Employer has a serious business interest in binding the Employee to the non-competition and business relationship clause, due to the fact that (i) within the organization of the Employer competition-sensitive information as well as confidential information related to the Employer and its clients and relations, such as but not limited to products, or research or development or commercialization of Employer (“Sensitive Business Information”) are available and (ii) in the position of Chief Financial Officer the Employee has access to this Sensitive Business Information and/or will become aware of this Sensitive Business Information and/or will maintain (commercial) contacts with clients, suppliers, competitors etc. Given the aforesaid considerations (i) and (ii) in this clause, combined with the education and capacities of the Employee, the Employer has a well-founded fear that its business interest will be harmed substantially if the Employee performs competing activities as set forth in clauses 13.1 up to and including 13.5 of the Agreement within a period of 12 months after termination of the Agreement.

13.1. to 13.5 shall not apply in the case of summary dismissal as referred to in article 7:677 of the Dutch Civil Code.

This concerns all rights, anywhere in the world, to and arising from or in connection with the Works. This obligation of the Employee remains in force even after the end of this Agreement.

The Employee hereby grants permission and power of attorney to the Employer to the extent necessary to carry out every required act on behalf of the Employee to obtain protection for the Works, or to transfer the Works and any rights relating thereto, to the Employer. The Employer will compensate the reasonable costs made in respect hereof, in so far as the payment that the Employee receives pursuant to article 3.1 of this Agreement cannot be considered as compensation for such costs. This obligation of the Employee remains in force even after the end of the Agreement.

The Employee acknowledges that the payment ex article 3.1 of this Agreement includes a reasonable compensation for any possible deprivation of any intellectual and industrial property rights.
