“Agreement”) is entered into as of March 16, 2021, by and among AppLovin Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and KKR Denali Holdings, L.P. (“Stockholder”).

Stockholder owns certain of the issued and outstanding equity securities of the Company; 
 WHEREAS, the Stockholder and the Company are
party to the Amended and Restated Voting Agreement (the “Existing Voting Agreement”), dated as of November 21, 2019, which provides for certain agreements with respect to, among other things, the right of the Stockholder to
designate directors to serve on the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”); 
 WHEREAS, the Existing Voting
Agreement provides that following the consummation of a Qualified Public Offering (as defined in the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation as amended from time to time), subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, the Company
will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause one person designated by Stockholder to serve on the Board and the Company will enter into an agreement with the Stockholder to provide for this right prior to consummating a Qualified Public
Offering; 
 WHEREAS, the Company has publicly filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 for an
initial public offering that will constitute a Qualified Public Offering and expects to consummate a Qualified Public Offering shortly after the date hereof; and

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

under Delaware law), to include the individual designated pursuant to this Section 2.1 in the slate of nominees recommended by the Board for election at any meeting of stockholders called for the purpose of electing
Directors and to use its best efforts to cause the election of such designee to the Board, including nominating such individual to be elected as a Director as provided herein, recommending such individual’s election and soliciting proxies or
consents in favor thereof. 
 (c) In the event that a vacancy is created at any time by the death, disability, retirement, resignation or
removal (with or without cause) of any Director designated by the Stockholder pursuant to this Section 2.1, the remaining Directors and the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law (including with
respect to fiduciary duties under Delaware law), cause the vacancy created thereby to be filled by a new designee of the Stockholder as soon as possible, and the Company hereby agrees to take, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law
(including with respect to fiduciary duties under Delaware law), at any time and from time to time, all actions necessary to accomplish the same.

Section 2.1, the designee of the Stockholder selected by the Stockholder shall continue to serve until his or her term expires at the next annual meeting of stockholders of the Company,. In such event, the Directors
remaining in office shall be entitled to decrease the size of the Board to eliminate such vacancy. 












 (e) The KKR Designee shall be entitled at his or her election to be reimbursed by the
Company for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by him or her in connection with performing his or her duties as a member of the Board (or any committee thereof),

Waivers. Except as otherwise provided herein, no modification, amendment, restatement, amendment and restatement, or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective without the written approval of the Board and the Stockholder;
provided, however, that Stockholder may waive (in writing) the benefit of any provision of this Agreement with respect to itself for any purpose. The failure of any party to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no
way be construed as a waiver of such provisions and shall not affect the right of such party thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. 

SECTION 3.3. Successors, Assigns and Transferees. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and
their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement may not be assigned without the express prior written consent of the other parties hereto, and any attempted assignment, without such consents, will be null and void; provided,

request of any other party, to execute and deliver any further instruments or documents and to take all such further action as the other party may reasonably request in order to evidence or effectuate the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby and to otherwise carry out the intent of the parties hereunder. 
 SECTION 3.7. Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the
entire understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. There are no agreements, representations, warranties, covenants or understandings with respect to the subject matter hereof or thereof other than those expressly
set forth herein and therein. This Agreement supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to such subject matter. 

SECTION 3.8. Delays or Omissions. It is agreed that no delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party, upon any breach,
default or noncompliance by another party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach, default or noncompliance, or any acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar
breach, default or noncompliance thereafter occurring. It is further agreed that any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any party hereto of any breach, default or noncompliance under this Agreement or any
waiver on such party’s part of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. All remedies, either under this Agreement, by law, or otherwise
afforded to any party, shall be cumulative and not alternative. 
 SECTION 3.9. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. 












 (a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the
State of Delaware, applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed entirely within that State, without giving effect to principles or rules of conflict of laws. 

(b) In any judicial proceeding involving any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, each of the parties unconditionally
accepts the jurisdiction and venue of the Delaware Court of Chancery or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction over this matter, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware (Complex Commercial Division) or, if
jurisdiction over the matter is vested exclusively in federal courts, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, and the appellate courts to which orders and judgments thereof may be appealed. In any such judicial proceeding, the
parties agree that in addition to any method for the service of process permitted or required by such courts, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, service of process may be made by delivery provided pursuant to the directions in
Section 3.5. 
 (c) EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY
JUDICIAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING ANY DISPUTE, CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT. 
 SECTION 3.10. Severability. Whenever
possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any
applicable Law in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. 
 SECTION 3.11. Enforcement. Each party hereto acknowledges that money damages
would not be an adequate remedy in the event that any of the covenants or agreements in this Agreement are not performed in accordance with its terms, and it is therefore agreed that in addition to and without limiting any other remedy or right it
may have, the non-breaching party will have the right to an injunction, temporary restraining order or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction enjoining any such breach and enforcing
specifically the terms and provisions hereof. 
 SECTION 3.12. Titles and Subtitles. The titles of the sections and subsections of this Agreement are
for convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in construing this Agreement. 
 SECTION 3.13. No Recourse. This Agreement may only be
enforced against, and any claims or cause of action that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, may be made only against the entities that are expressly identified
as parties hereto, and no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, manager, partner, stockholder, agent, attorney or representative of any party hereto shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of
the parties to this Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of the transactions contemplated hereby. 
 SECTION 3.14.
Counterparts; Electronic Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. The words “execution,”
“signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to this Agreement or any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, deliveries or
the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be,
and the parties hereto consent to conduct the transactions contemplated hereunder by electronic means. 












 SECTION 3.15. Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective upon the Closing.
