We believe that you will make an important contribution to the success and
growth of Aerohive Networks, Inc. (“Aerohive,” or the “Company”). With this in
mind, we are pleased to offer you the position of VP, Global System Engineering
initially reporting to Tom Wilburn, Worldwide Field Operations. This letter
agreement is intended to confirm the terms of your proposed employment with us.

Consistent with this position, you will be expected to perform job-related
duties as assigned from time- to-time by your manager. Your primary job location
will be your home office, and at other places as Aerohive Networks may direct
over time. Please confirm below with your acceptance of this offer the expected
date of commencement of your employment with Aerohive.

Cash Compensation. This is an exempt position and your initial base salary will
be USD $201,600 on an annualized basis (before withholdings for applicable
taxes, benefits and other deductions). As an employee in good standing you will
also be eligible to participate in our sales compensation program, which is
dependent upon your achievement of specific sales-related targets, as outlined
in the Company’s Sales Quota Sheet, then in effect. The Quota Sheet providing
your specific targets will be provided to you in writing by the Company no later
than 30 days after your start date.

Your variable target commission-based compensation for 2015 is USD $86,400 on an
annualized basis, which comprises a USD $66,400 bookings-based commission
component earned, calculated and payable monthly in arrears, and a separate USD
$20,000 linearity commission component, earned, calculated and payable
semi-annually in arrears after the first and third quarter of each calendar
year. All such payments will be subject to applicable withholdings, taxes and
deductions for benefits, etc. Your eligibility to participate in our commissions
program and earn any monies will be subject to the terms and conditions of
participation in our Sales Compensation Program. Commissions will be paid
according to the sales compensation plan and are paid at the end of the month
following the close of the prior month. Details will be outlined with the Sales
Quota Sheet provided as above.

Stock Award and Employee Stock Purchase Plan. In conjunction with your
commencement of employment, we will propose that our Board of Directors approve
an equity award comprising, 90,000 shares of our Common Stock: 60,000 shares of
which will be in the form of an option and 30,000 shares of which will be in the
form of Restricted Stock Units. The equity award is subject to such Board
approval and to all terms and conditions of the specific Aerohive Networks
equity plan from

which the award will issue. Once approved (and subject to your continuing
employment in good standing), 25% of the shares subject to the award will vest
after 12 months and the remaining shares would vest over the next 36 months of
continuous service. Our Board typically considers equity awards on a quarterly
basis; however, the date on which the Board acts could be later depending on a
variety of factors, and this could affect the date on which your equity award is
proposed for Board consideration. You will receive more details regarding the
award from Stock Administration after the date on which our Board considers your
proposed award. In addition, as an employee of Aerohive, you may be eligible to
participate in our Employee Stock Purchase Program (ESPP). The ESPP offers
employees the opportunity to purchase HIVE stock at a discount using post-tax
payroll deductions. Enrollment into the program occurs twice a year, typically
in May and November.

Notwithstanding the foregoing vesting schedule, and consistent with similar
protections offered to members of our senior management, in conjunction with
your commencement of employment, we will propose that our Board of Directors
also approve entering with you the attached form of Separation and Change of

approved, provide additional benefits to you if you are terminated by the
Company other than for Cause, death, or disability (as defined in the plan) or
you resign for Good Reasons, and in either case you sign and do not revoke a
standard form of release then-offered to the Company’s employees. These
benefits, at all times as determined by and subject to the terms and conditions
of the Separation Agreement, would include certain severance payments and
acceleration of the then-unvested shares subject to your then-outstanding equity
awards.
