 Exhibit 10.18 

APPDYNAMICS, INC. 
 2017
EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN 
 1. Purpose. The purpose of the Plan is to provide employees of the Company and its Designated
Companies with an opportunity to purchase Common Stock through accumulated Contributions. The Company intends for the Plan to have two components: a component that is intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under
Section 423 of the Code (the “423 Component”) and a component that is not intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Code (the
“Non-423 Component”). The provisions of the 423 Component, accordingly, will be construed so as to extend and limit Plan participation in a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis consistent with
the requirements of Section 423 of the Code. An option to purchase shares of Common Stock under the Non-423 Component will be granted pursuant to rules, procedures, or
sub-plans adopted by the Administrator designed to achieve tax, securities laws, or other objectives for Eligible Employees, the Company, its Subsidiaries and Affiliates. Except as otherwise provided herein or
by the Administrator, the Non-423 Component will operate and be administered in the same manner as the 423 Component. 

2. Definitions. 
 (a)
“Administrator” means the Board or any Committee designated by the Board to administer the Plan pursuant to Section 14. 

(b) “Affiliate” means any entity, other than a Subsidiary, in which the Company has an equity or other ownership interest.

 (c) “Applicable Laws” means the requirements relating to the administration of equity-based awards under U.S. state
corporate laws, U.S. federal and state securities laws, the Code, any stock exchange or quotation system on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted and the applicable laws of any foreign country or jurisdiction where options are, or will be,
granted under the Plan. 
 (d) “Board” means the Board of Directors of the Company. 

(e) “Change in Control” means the occurrence of any of the following events: 

(i) A change in the ownership of the Company which occurs on the date that any one person, or more than one person acting as a group
(“Person”), acquires ownership of the stock of the Company that, with the stock held by such Person, constitutes more than 50% of the total voting power of the stock of the Company; provided, that for this subsection, the
acquisition of additional stock by any one Person, who prior to such acquisition is considered to own more than 50% of the total voting power of the stock of the Company will not be considered a Change in Control. Further, if the stockholders
of the Company immediately before such change in ownership continue to retain immediately after the change in ownership, in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of shares of the Company’s voting stock immediately prior to the
change in ownership, direct or indirect

beneficial ownership of 50% or more of the total voting power of the stock of the Company, such event shall not be considered a Change in Control under this Section 2(e)(i). For this
purpose, indirect beneficial ownership shall include, without limitation, an interest resulting from ownership of the voting securities of one or more corporations or other business entities which own the Company, as the case may be, either directly
or through one or more subsidiary corporations or other business entities; or 
 (ii) A change in the effective control of the Company
which occurs on the date a majority of members of the Board is replaced during any 12-month period by Directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Board prior to
the appointment or election. For this Section 2(e)(ii), if any Person is in effective control of the Company, the acquisition of additional control of the Company by the same Person will not be considered a Change in Control; or 

(iii) A change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets which occurs on the date that any Person acquires (or
has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such Person or Persons) assets from the Company that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than
50% of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Company immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions; provided, that for this Section 2(e)(iii), the following will not constitute a change in the ownership of a
substantial portion of the Company’s assets: 
 (1) a transfer to an entity controlled by the Company’s stockholders immediately
after the transfer, or 
 (2) a transfer of assets by the Company to: 

(A) a stockholder of the Company (immediately before the asset transfer) in exchange for or with respect to the Company’s stock,

 (B) an entity, 50% or more of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company, 

(C) a Person, that owns, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the total value or voting power of all the outstanding stock of the
Company, or 
 (D) an entity, at least 50% of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by a Person

or the value of the assets being disposed of, determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets. For this definition, persons will be acting as a group if they are owners of a corporation that enters into a merger,
consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar business transaction with the Company.

substantially the same proportions by the persons who held the Company’s securities immediately before such transaction.

and contributions by other means that the Company may permit to be made by a Participant to fund the exercise of options granted pursuant to the Plan. 

(l) “Designated Company” means any Subsidiary or Affiliate that has been designated by the Administrator from time to time in

 -3- 










 



 
  

 
continuing intact while the individual is on sick leave or other leave of absence that the Employer approves or is legally protected under Applicable Laws with respect to the Participants’
participation in the Plan. Where the period of leave exceeds three (3) months and the individual’s right to reemployment is not guaranteed either by statute or by contract, the employment relationship will be deemed to have terminated
three (3) months and one (1) day following the commencement of such leave. The Administrator, in its discretion, from time to time may, prior to an Enrollment Date for all options to be granted on such Enrollment Date in an Offering,
determine (on a uniform and nondiscriminatory basis or as otherwise permitted by U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.423-2) that the definition of Eligible Employee will or will not include an individual
if he or she: (i) has not completed at least two (2) years of service since his or her last hire date (or such lesser period of time as may be determined by the Administrator in its discretion), (ii) customarily works not more than
twenty (20) hours per week (or such lesser period of time as may be determined by the Administrator in its discretion), (iii) customarily works not more than five (5) months per calendar year (or such lesser period of time as may be

compensation above a certain level or is an officer or subject to the disclosure requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, provided the exclusion is applied with respect to each Offering under the 423 Component in an identical manner to all
highly compensated individuals of the Employer whose Eligible Employees are participating in that Offering. Each exclusion will be applied with respect to an Offering under the 423 Component in a manner complying with U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.423-2(e)(2)(ii). 
 (o) “Employer” means the employer of the applicable
Eligible Employee(s).

(q) “Exchange Act” means the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder. 
 (r) “Exercise Date” means the last Trading Day of the Purchase Period. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that an Offering Period is terminated prior to its expiration pursuant to Section 20(a), the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may determine that any Purchase Period also terminating under such Offering Period will
terminate without options being exercised on the Exercise Date that otherwise would have occurred on the last Trading Day of such Purchase Period. 

(s) “Fair Market Value” means, as of any date, the value of a share of Common Stock determined as follows: 

(i) For purposes of the Enrollment Date of the first Offering Period under the Plan, the Fair Market Value will be the initial price to the
public as set forth in the final prospectus included within the Registration Statement. 
 (ii) For all other purposes, the Fair Market
Value will be the closing sales price for Common Stock as quoted on any established stock exchange or national market system (including without limitation the New York Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ Global Select Market, the


  
 -4- 










 



 
  

 
NASDAQ Global Market or the NASDAQ Capital Market of the NASDAQ Stock Market) on which the Common Stock is listed on the date of determination (or the closing bid, if no sales were reported), as
reported in The Wall Street Journal or such other source as the Administrator deems reliable. If the determination date for the Fair Market Value occurs on a non-trading day (i.e., a weekend or
holiday), the Fair Market Value will be such price on the immediately preceding trading day, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator. In the absence of an established market for the Common Stock, the Fair Market Value thereof will be
determined in good faith by the Administrator. 
 (iii) The determination of fair market value for purposes of tax withholding may be made
in the Administrator’s discretion subject to Applicable Laws and is not required to be consistent with the determination of Fair Market Value for other purposes; or 

(iv) In the absence of an established market for the Common Stock, the Fair Market Value thereof will be determined in good faith by the
Administrator.

(v) “Offering” means an offer under the Plan of an option that may be exercised during an Offering Period as further
described in Section 4. For purposes of the Plan, the Administrator may designate separate Offerings under the Plan (the terms of which need not be identical) in which Eligible Employees of one or more Employers will participate, even if the
dates of the applicable Offering Periods of each such Offering are identical and the provisions of the Plan will separately apply to each Offering. To the extent permitted by U.S. Treasury Regulation
Section 1.423-2(a)(1), the terms of each Offering need not be identical provided that the terms of the Plan and an Offering together satisfy U.S. Treasury Regulation
Section 1.423-2(a)(2) and (a)(3). 
 (w) “Offering Periods” means the periods
of approximately twelve (12) months during which an option granted pursuant to the Plan may be exercised, commencing on the first Trading Day on or after April 1 and October 1 of each year and terminating on the last Trading Day on or
before March 31 and September 30, approximately twelve (12) months later; provided, however, that the first Offering Period under the Plan will commence with the first Trading Day on the Registration Date and will end on the last
Trading Day on or before March 31, 2018, and provided, further, that the second Offering Period under the Plan will commence on the first Trading Day on or after April 1, 2017. The duration and timing of Offering Periods may be changed

which shares of Common Stock may be purchased on a Participant’s behalf in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Unless the Administrator provides otherwise, Purchase Periods for Offering Periods will (i) commence on the first Trading Day
on or after April 1 and October 1 and (ii) terminate on the last Trading Day on or before September 30 and March 31, respectively, approximately six (6) months later; provided, however, that for the first Offering
Period, the first Purchase Period will (A) commence on the first Trading Day on the Registration Date and (B) terminate on the last Trading Day on or before September 30, 2017. 

(bb) “Purchase Price” means an amount equal to eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair Market Value on the Enrollment Date or
on the Exercise Date, whichever is lower; provided, however, that the Purchase Price may be determined for subsequent Offering Periods by the Administrator subject to compliance with Section 423 of the Code (or any successor rule or provision
or any other Applicable Laws) or pursuant to Section 20. 
 (cc) “Registration Date” means the effective date of the
Registration Statement. 
 (dd) “Registration Statement” means the registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the initial public offering of the Common Stock.

of the Code in relation to the Company. 
 (ff) “Trading Day” means a day on which the national stock exchange upon which

 (gg) “U.S. Treasury Regulations” means the U.S. Treasury regulations of

amending, supplementing, or superseding such Section or regulation. 
 3. Eligibility. 

(a) First Offering Period. Subject to Section 5(a), any individual who is an Eligible Employee immediately prior to the first Offering
Period will be automatically enrolled in the first Offering Period. 
 (b) Subsequent Offering Periods. Any Eligible Employee on a
given Enrollment Date subsequent to the first Offering Period will be eligible to participate in the Plan, subject to the requirements of Section 5. 

(c) Non-U.S. Employees. Eligible Employees who are citizens or residents of a non-U.S. jurisdiction (without regard to whether they also are citizens or residents of the United States or resident aliens (within the meaning of Section 7701(b)(1)(A) of the Code)) may be excluded from
participation in the Plan or an Offering if the participation of such Eligible Employees is prohibited under 

  
 -6- 










 



 
  

 
the laws of the applicable jurisdiction or if complying with the laws of the applicable jurisdiction would cause the Plan or an Offering to violate Section 423 of the Code. In the case of
the Non-423 Component, Eligible Employees may be excluded from participation in the Plan or an Offering if the Administrator determines that participation of such Eligible Employees is not advisable or
practicable. 
 (d) Limitations. Any provisions of the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, no Eligible Employee will be granted an
option under the Plan (i) to the extent that, immediately after the grant, such Eligible Employee (or any other person whose stock would be attributed to such Eligible Employee pursuant to Section 424(d) of the Code) would own capital stock of
the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary and/or hold outstanding options to purchase such stock possessing five percent (5%) or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of the capital stock of the Company or of any Parent or
Subsidiary, or (ii) to the extent that his or her rights to purchase stock under all employee stock purchase plans (as defined in Section 423 of the Code) of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary accrues at a rate, which exceeds
twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) worth of stock (determined at the Fair Market Value at the time such option is granted) for each calendar year in which such option is outstanding at any time, as determined in accordance with Section 423
of the Code and the regulations thereunder. 
 4. Offering Periods. The Plan will be implemented by consecutive, overlapping Offering
Periods with a new Offering Period commencing on the first Trading Day on or after April 1 and October 1 each year, or on such other dates as the Administrator will determine; provided, however, that the first Offering Period under the
Plan will commence with the first Trading Day on the Registration Date and end on the last Trading Day on or before March 31, 2018, and provided, further, that the second Offering Period under the Plan will commence on the first Trading Day on
or after April 1, 2017. The Administrator will have the power to change the duration of Offering Periods (including the commencement dates thereof) with respect to future Offerings without stockholder approval if such change is announced prior
to the scheduled beginning of the first Offering Period to be affected thereafter; provided, however, that no Offering Period may last more than twenty-seven (27) months. 

5. Participation. 
 (a)
First Offering Period. An Eligible Employee automatically will be enrolled at 15% of his or her Compensation and will be entitled to continue to participate in the first Offering Period pursuant to Section 3(a) only if such individual submits
an enrollment agreement authorizing Contributions in a form determined by the Administrator (which may be electronic or in a written form similar to the form attached hereto as Exhibit A) to the Company’s designated plan administrator
(i) no earlier than the effective date of the Form S-8 registration statement with respect to the issuance of Common Stock under this Plan and (ii) no later than ten (10) business days following
the effective date of such Form S-8 registration statement or such date as the Administrator may determine (the “Enrollment Window”). An Eligible Employee’s failure to submit the enrollment
agreement during the Enrollment Window will result in the automatic removal of such individual from the first Offering Period and a termination of such individual’s participation in the first Offering Period. 

  
 -7- 










 



 
  

 (b) Subsequent Offering Periods. An Eligible Employee may participate in the Plan
pursuant to Section 3(b) by (i) submitting to the Company’s stock administration office (or its designee) a properly completed enrollment agreement authorizing Contributions in the form provided by the Administrator for such purpose or
(ii) following an electronic or other enrollment procedure determined by the Administrator, in either case on or before a date determined by the Administrator prior to an applicable Enrollment Date.  

6. Contributions. 
 (a)
At the time a Participant enrolls in the Plan pursuant to Section 5, he or she will elect to have Contributions (in the form of payroll deductions or otherwise, to the extent permitted or required by the Administrator) made on each pay day
during the Offering Period in an amount not exceeding 15% of the Compensation that he or she receives on the pay day (for illustrative purposes, should a pay day occur on an Exercise Date, a Participant will have any Contributions made on such day
applied to his or her account under the then-current Purchase Period or Offering Period). The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may permit or require all Participants in a specified Offering to contribute amounts to the Plan through payment by
cash, check, wire, or other means set forth in the enrollment agreement prior to each Exercise Date of each Purchase Period. A Participant’s enrollment agreement will remain in effect for successive Offering Periods unless terminated as
provided in Section 10 hereof. 
 (b) In the event Contributions are made in the form of payroll deductions, such payroll deductions
for a Participant will commence on the first pay day following the Enrollment Date and will end on the last pay day on or prior to the last Exercise Date of such Offering Period to which such authorization is applicable, unless sooner terminated by
the Participant as provided in Section 10 hereof; provided, however, that for the first Offering Period, payroll deductions will commence on the first pay day on or following the end of the Enrollment Window. 

(c) All Contributions made for a Participant will be credited to his or her account under the Plan and Contributions will be made in whole
percentages of his or her Compensation only. A Participant may not make any additional payments into such account. 
 (d) A Participant may
discontinue his or her participation in the Plan as provided under Section 10. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, during a Purchase Period, a Participant may not increase the rate of his or her Contributions and may decrease the
rate of his or her Contributions to a rate that is less than such Participant’s originally elected rate (including to zero percent (0%)). Any decrease during a Purchase Period requires the Participant (i) properly completing and submitting
to the Company’s stock administration office (or its designee) a new enrollment agreement authorizing the change in the rate of the Participant’s Contributions in the form provided by the Administrator for such purpose or
(ii) following an electronic or other procedure prescribed by the Administrator, in either case on or before a date determined by the Administrator prior to an applicable Exercise Date. If a Participant has not followed such procedures to
change the rate of Contributions, the rate of his or her Contributions will continue at the originally elected rate throughout the Purchase Period and future Offering Periods and Purchase Periods (unless the rate of the Participant’s
Contributions 

  
 -8- 










 



 
  

 
subsequently is changed as provided in Section 6(d) or terminated as provided in Sections 10 or 11). The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, limit the nature or number of changes to the
rate of the Participant’s Contributions that may be made by Participants during any Offering Period or Purchase Period and may establish other conditions or limitations as it deems appropriate for Plan administration. Any change in the rate of
Contributions made pursuant to this Section 6(d) will (x) be effective as of the first (1st) full payroll period following five (5) business days after the date on which the change is made by the Participant (unless the Administrator, in
its sole discretion, elects to process a given change in the payroll deduction rate more quickly or require more time for it to be effective), (y) remain effective for the remaining duration of the applicable Purchase Period (unless the rate of the
Participant’s Contributions subsequently is changed as provided in Section 6(d) or terminated as provided in Sections 10 or 11), and (z) automatically revert as of the beginning of the next Purchase Period (if applicable) to the originally
elected rate as of the beginning of the Offering Period in which such next Purchase Period occurs (unless the rate of a Participant’s Contributions subsequently is changed as provided in Section 6(d) or terminated as provided in Sections 10 or
11). 
 (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent necessary to comply with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and Section 3(d), a
Participant’s Contributions may be decreased to zero percent (0%) at any time during a Purchase Period. Subject to Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and Section 3(d) hereof, Contributions will recommence at the rate originally elected by the
Participant effective as of the beginning of the first Purchase Period scheduled to end in the following calendar year, unless terminated by the Participant as provided in Section 10. 

(f) Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in the Plan, the Administrator may allow or require Participants to participate in the Plan
via cash contributions instead of payroll deductions if (i) payroll deductions are not permitted under Applicable Laws, (ii) the Administrator determines that cash contributions are permissible for Participants participating in the 423
Component, or (iii) the Participants are participating in the Non-423 Component. 
 (g) At the
time the option is exercised, in whole or in part, or at the time some or all of the Common Stock issued under the Plan is disposed of (or any other time that a taxable event related to the Plan occurs), the Participant must make adequate provision
for the Company’s or Employer’s federal, state, local or any other tax liability payable to any authority including taxes imposed by jurisdictions outside of the U.S., national insurance, social insurance, social security or other tax
withholding obligations, if any, which arise upon the exercise of the option or the disposition of the Common Stock (or any other time that a taxable event related to the Plan occurs). At any time, the Company or the Employer may, but will not be
obligated to, withhold from the Participant’s compensation the amount necessary for the Company or the Employer to meet applicable withholding obligations, including any withholding required to make available to the Company or the Employer any
tax deductions or benefits attributable to sale or early disposition of Common Stock by the Eligible Employee. In addition, the Company or the Employer may, but will not be obligated to, withhold from the proceeds of the sale of Common Stock or any
other method of withholding the Company or the Employer deems appropriate to the extent permitted by U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.423-2(f).

 7. Grant of Option. On the Enrollment Date of each Offering Period, each Eligible
Employee participating in such Offering Period will be granted an option to purchase on each Exercise Date during such Offering Period (at the applicable Purchase Price) up to a number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing such Eligible
Employee’s Contributions accumulated prior to such Exercise Date and retained in the Eligible Employee’s account as of the Exercise Date by the applicable Purchase Price; provided that in no event will an Eligible Employee be permitted to
purchase during each Purchase Period more than 3,333 shares of Common Stock (subject to any adjustment pursuant to Section 19) and provided further that such purchase will be subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 3(d) and 13. The
Eligible Employee may accept the grant of such option (i) with respect to the first Offering Period by submitting a properly completed enrollment agreement in accordance with the requirements of Section 5 on or before the last day of the
Enrollment Window, and (ii) with respect to any subsequent Offering Period under the Plan, by electing to participate in the Plan in accordance with the requirements of Section 5. The Administrator may, for future Offering Periods,
increase or decrease, in its absolute discretion, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that an Eligible Employee may purchase during each Purchase Period. Exercise of the option will occur as provided in Section 8, unless the
Participant has withdrawn pursuant to Section 10. The option will expire on the last day of the Offering Period. 
 8. Exercise of
Option. 
 (a) Unless a Participant withdraws from the Plan as provided in Section 10, his or her option for the purchase of shares
of Common Stock will be exercised automatically on each Exercise Date, and the maximum number of full shares subject to the option will be purchased for such Participant at the applicable Purchase Price with the accumulated Contributions from his or
her account. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be purchased; any Contributions accumulated in a Participant’s account, which are not sufficient to purchase a full share will be retained in the Participant’s account for the
subsequent Purchase Period or Offering Period, subject to earlier withdrawal by the Participant as provided in Section 10. Any other funds left over in a Participant’s account after the Exercise Date will be returned to the Participant.
During a Participant’s lifetime, a Participant’s option to purchase shares hereunder is exercisable only by him or her. 
 (b) If
the Administrator determines that, on a given Exercise Date, the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which options are to be exercised may exceed (i) the number of shares of Common Stock that were available for sale under the Plan
on the Enrollment Date of the applicable Offering Period, or (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock available for sale under the Plan on such Exercise Date, the Administrator may in its sole discretion (x) provide that the Company will
make a pro rata allocation of the shares of Common Stock available for purchase on such Enrollment Date or Exercise Date, as applicable, in as uniform a manner as will be practicable and as it will determine in its sole discretion to be equitable
among all Participants exercising options to purchase Common Stock on such Exercise Date, and continue all Offering Periods then in effect or (y) provide that the Company will make a pro rata allocation of the shares of Common Stock available
for purchase on such Enrollment Date or Exercise Date, as applicable, in as uniform a manner as will be practicable and as it will determine in its sole discretion to be equitable among all participants exercising options to


  
 -10- 










 



 
  

 
purchase Common Stock on such Exercise Date, and terminate any or all Offering Periods then in effect pursuant to Section 20. The Company may make a pro rata allocation of the shares
available on the Enrollment Date of any applicable Offering Period pursuant to the preceding sentence, notwithstanding any authorization of additional shares for issuance under the Plan by the Company’s stockholders subsequent to such
Enrollment Date. 
 9. Delivery. As soon as reasonably practicable after each Exercise Date on which a purchase of shares of Common
Stock occurs, the Company will arrange the delivery to each Participant of the shares purchased upon exercise of his or her option in a form determined by the Administrator (in its sole discretion) and pursuant to rules established by the
Administrator. The Company may permit or require that shares be deposited directly with a broker designated by the Company or to a designated agent of the Company, and the Company may utilize electronic or automated methods of share transfer. The
Company may require that shares be retained with such broker or agent for a designated period of time and/or may establish other procedures to permit tracking of disqualifying or other dispositions of such shares. No Participant will have any
voting, dividend, or other stockholder rights with respect to shares of Common Stock subject to any option granted under the Plan until such shares have been purchased and delivered to the Participant as provided in this Section 9. 

10. Withdrawal. 
 (a) A
Participant may withdraw all but not less than all the Contributions credited to his or her account and not yet used to exercise his or her option under the Plan at any time by (i) submitting to the Company’s stock administration office
(or its designee) a new enrollment agreement in the form determined by the Administrator for such purpose (which may be similar to the form attached hereto as Exhibit A), or (ii) following an electronic or other withdrawal procedure
determined by the Administrator. The Administrator may set forth a deadline of when a withdrawal must occur to be effective prior to a given Exercise Date in accordance with policies it may approve from time to time. All of the Participant’s
Contributions credited to his or her account will be paid to such Participant promptly after receipt of notice of withdrawal and such Participant’s option for the Offering Period will be automatically terminated, and no further Contributions
for the purchase of shares will be made for such Offering Period. If a Participant withdraws from an Offering Period, Contributions will not resume at the beginning of the succeeding Offering Period, unless the Participant re-enrolls in the Plan in accordance with the provisions of Section 5. 
 (b) A Participant’s
withdrawal from an Offering Period will not have any effect on his or her eligibility to participate in any similar plan that may hereafter be adopted by the Company or in succeeding Offering Periods that commence after the termination of the
Offering Period from which the Participant withdraws. 
 11. Termination of Employment. Unless otherwise required by Applicable Laws,
upon a Participant’s ceasing to be an Eligible Employee, for any reason, he or she will be deemed to have elected to withdraw from the Plan and the Contributions credited to such Participant’s account during the Offering Period but not yet
used to purchase shares of Common Stock under the Plan will be returned to such Participant or, in the case of his or her death, to the person or persons entitled thereto under Section

15, and such Participant’s option will be automatically terminated. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, a Participant whose employment transfers between entities through a
termination with an immediate rehire (with no break in service) by the Company or a Designated Company will not be treated as terminated under the Plan; however, if a Participant transfers from an Offering under the 423 Component to the Non-423 Component, the exercise of the option will be qualified under the 423 Component only to the extent it complies with Section 423 of the Code, unless otherwise provided by the Administrator. 

12. Interest. No interest will accrue on the Contributions of a participant in the Plan, except as may be required by Applicable Laws,
as determined by the Company, and if so required by the laws of a particular jurisdiction, will apply to all Participants in the relevant Offering under the 423 Component, except to the extent otherwise permitted by U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.423-2(f). 
 13. Stock. 

(a) Subject to adjustment upon changes in capitalization of the Company as provided in Section 19 hereof, the maximum number of shares of
Common Stock that will be made available for sale under the Plan will be 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan will be increased on the first day of each Fiscal Year beginning
with the 2019 Fiscal Year equal to the least of (i) 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock, (ii) one percent (1%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock on the last day of the immediately preceding Fiscal Year, or (iii) an amount
determined by the Administrator. All such shares of Common Stock may be granted under the 423 Component. 
 (b) Until the shares of Common
Stock are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), a Participant will have only the rights of an unsecured creditor with respect to such shares, and no right to
vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder will exist with respect to such shares. 
 (c) Shares of Common Stock to be
delivered to a Participant under the Plan will be registered in the name of the Participant or, if so required under Applicable Laws, in the name of the Participant and his or her spouse. 

14. Administration. The Plan will be administered by the Board or a Committee appointed by the Board, which Committee will be
constituted to comply with Applicable Laws. The Administrator will have full and exclusive discretionary authority to construe, interpret and apply the terms of the Plan, to delegate ministerial duties to any of the Company’s employees, to
designate separate Offerings under the Plan, to designate Subsidiaries and Affiliates of the Company as participating in the 423 Component or Non-423 Component, to determine eligibility, to adjudicate all
disputed claims filed under the Plan and to establish such procedures that it deems necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan (including, without limitation, to adopt such procedures, sub-plans
and appendices to the enrollment agreement as are necessary or appropriate to permit the participation in the Plan by employees who are foreign nationals or employed outside the U.S., the terms of which
sub-plans and appendices may take precedence over other provisions of this Plan, with the exception of Section 13(a) hereof, but unless 

  
 -12- 










 



 
  

 
otherwise superseded by the terms of such sub-plan or appendix, the provisions of this Plan will govern the operation of such sub-plan or appendix). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrator is specifically authorized to adopt rules and procedures regarding eligibility to participate, the definition of
Compensation, handling of Contributions, making of Contributions to the Plan (including, without limitation, in forms other than payroll deductions), establishment of bank or trust accounts to hold Contributions, payment of interest, conversion of
local currency, obligations to pay payroll tax, determination of beneficiary designation requirements, withholding procedures and handling of stock certificates that vary with applicable local requirements. The Administrator also is authorized to
determine that, to the extent permitted by U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.423-2(f), the terms of an option granted under the Plan or an Offering to citizens or residents of a non-U.S. jurisdiction will be less favorable than the terms of options granted under the Plan or the same Offering to employees resident solely in the U.S. Every finding, decision, and determination made by the
Administrator will, to the full extent permitted by law, be final and binding upon all parties. 
 15. Designation of Beneficiary.

 (a) If permitted by the Administrator, a Participant may file a designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any shares of Common Stock
and cash, if any, from the Participant’s account under the Plan in the event of such Participant’s death subsequent to an Exercise Date on which the option is exercised but prior to delivery to such Participant of such shares and cash. In
addition, if permitted by the Administrator, a Participant may file a designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any cash from the Participant’s account under the Plan in the event of such Participant’s death prior to exercise of the
option. If a Participant is married and the designated beneficiary is not the spouse, spousal consent will be required for such designation to be effective, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator. 

(b) Such designation of beneficiary may be changed by the Participant at any time by notice in a form determined by the Administrator. In the
event of the death of a Participant and in the absence of a beneficiary validly designated under the Plan who is living at the time of such Participant’s death, the Company will deliver such shares and/or cash to the executor or administrator
of the estate of the Participant, or if no such executor or administrator has been appointed (to the knowledge of the Company), the Company, in its discretion, may deliver such shares and/or cash to the spouse or to any one or more dependents or
relatives of the Participant, or if no spouse, dependent or relative is known to the Company, then to such other person as the Company may designate. 

(c) All beneficiary designations will be in such form and manner as the Administrator may designate from time to time. Notwithstanding
Sections 15(a) and (b) above, the Company and/or the Administrator may decide not to permit such designations by Participants in non-U.S. jurisdictions to the extent permitted by U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.423-2(f). 
 16. Transferability. Neither Contributions credited to a
Participant’s account nor any rights with regard to the exercise of an option or to receive shares of Common Stock under the Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any way (other than by will, the laws of descent
and distribution or as provided in Section 15 hereof) by the Participant. Any such attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition will be without effect, except that the Company may treat such act as an election to withdraw funds
from an Offering Period in accordance with Section 10 hereof. 

  
 -13- 










 



 
  

 17. Use of Funds. The Company may use all Contributions received or held by it under
the Plan for any corporate purpose, and the Company will not be obligated to segregate such Contributions except where Applicable Laws require that Contributions to the Plan by Participants be segregated from the Company’s general corporate
funds and/or deposited with an independent third party, provided, however, that, if such segregation or deposit with an independent third party is required by Applicable Laws under an offering under the 423 Component, it will apply to all
Participants in such Offering under the 423 Component, except to the extent otherwise permitted by U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.423 2(f). Until shares of Common Stock are issued, Participants will have only the rights of an unsecured
creditor with respect to such shares. 
 18. Reports. Individual accounts will be maintained for each Participant in the Plan.
Statements of account will be given to participating Eligible Employees at least annually, which statements will set forth the amounts of Contributions, the Purchase Price, the number of shares of Common Stock purchased and the remaining cash
balance, if any. 
 19. Adjustments, Dissolution, Liquidation, Merger, or Change in Control. 

(a) Adjustments. In the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Common Stock, other securities, or
other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of
Common Stock or other securities of the Company, or other change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting the Common Stock occurs, the Administrator, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits
intended to be made available under the Plan, will, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust the number and class of Common Stock that may be delivered under the Plan, the Purchase Price per share and the number of shares of Common Stock
covered by each option under the Plan that has not yet been exercised, and the numerical limits of Sections 7 and 13. 
 (b) Dissolution
or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, any Offering Period then in progress will be shortened by setting a New Exercise Date, and will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such
proposed dissolution or liquidation, unless provided otherwise by the Administrator. The New Exercise Date will be before the date of the Company’s proposed dissolution or liquidation. The Administrator will notify each Participant in writing
or electronically, prior to the New Exercise Date, that the Exercise Date for the Participant’s option has been changed to the New Exercise Date and that the Participant’s option will be exercised automatically on the New Exercise Date,
unless prior to such date the Participant has withdrawn from the Offering Period as provided in Section 10 hereof. 
 (c) Merger or
Change in Control. In the event of a merger or Change in Control, each outstanding option will be assumed or an equivalent option substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the event that
the successor corporation refuses 

  
 -14- 










 



 
  

 
to assume or substitute for the option, the Offering Period with respect to which such option relates will be shortened by setting a New Exercise Date on which such Offering Period will end. The
New Exercise Date will occur before the date of the Company’s proposed merger or Change in Control. The Administrator will notify each Participant in writing or electronically prior to the New Exercise Date, that the Exercise Date for the
Participant’s option has been changed to the New Exercise Date and that the Participant’s option will be exercised automatically on the New Exercise Date, unless prior to such date the Participant has withdrawn from the Offering Period as
provided in Section 10 hereof. 
 20. Amendment or Termination. 

(a)The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan, or any part thereof, at any time and for any reason.
If the Plan is terminated, the Administrator, in its discretion, may elect to terminate all outstanding Offering Periods either immediately or upon completion of the purchase of shares of Common Stock on the next Exercise Date (which may be sooner
than originally scheduled, if determined by the Administrator in its discretion), or may elect to permit Offering Periods to expire in accordance with their terms (and subject to any adjustment pursuant to Section 19). If the Offering Periods
are terminated prior to expiration, all amounts then credited to Participants’ accounts that have not been used to purchase shares of Common Stock will be returned to the Participants (without interest thereon, except as otherwise required
under Applicable Laws, as further set forth in Section 12 hereof) as soon as administratively practicable. 
 (b) Without stockholder
consent and without limiting Section 20(a), the Administrator will be entitled to change the Offering Periods or Purchase Periods, designate separate Offerings, limit the frequency and/or number of changes in the amount withheld during an Offering
Period, establish the exchange ratio applicable to amounts withheld in a currency other than U.S. dollars, permit Contributions in excess of the amount designated by a Participant in order to adjust for delays or mistakes in the Company’s
processing of properly completed Contribution elections, establish reasonable waiting and adjustment periods and/or accounting and crediting procedures to ensure that amounts applied toward the purchase of Common Stock for each Participant properly
correspond with Contribution amounts, and establish such other limitations or procedures as the Administrator determines in its sole discretion advisable that are consistent with the Plan. 

(c) In the event the Administrator determines that the ongoing operation of the Plan may result in unfavorable financial accounting
consequences, the Administrator may, in its discretion and, to the extent necessary or desirable, modify, amend or terminate the Plan to reduce or eliminate such accounting consequence including, but not limited to: 

(i) amending the Plan to conform with the safe harbor definition under the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards
Codification Topic 718 (or any successor thereto), including with respect to an Offering Period underway at the time; 
 (ii) altering the
Purchase Price for any Offering Period or Purchase Period including an Offering Period or Purchase Period underway at the time of the change in Purchase Price; 

  
 -15- 










 



 
  

 (iii) shortening any Offering Period or Purchase Period by setting a New Exercise Date,
including an Offering Period or Purchase Period underway at the time of the Administrator action; 
 (iv) reducing the maximum percentage
of Compensation a Participant may elect to set aside as Contributions; and 
 (v) reducing the maximum number of shares of Common Stock a
Participant may purchase during any Offering Period or Purchase Period. 
 Such modifications or amendments will not require stockholder approval or the
consent of any Participants. 
 21. Notices. All notices or other communications by a Participant to the Company under or in
connection with the Plan will be deemed to have been duly given when received in the form and manner specified by the Company at the location, or by the person, designated by the Company for the receipt thereof. 

22. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares. Shares of Common Stock will not be issued with respect to an option unless the exercise of such
option and the issuance and delivery of such shares pursuant thereto will comply with all applicable provisions of law, domestic or foreign, including, without limitation, the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Exchange Act, the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder, and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the shares may then be listed, and will be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance. 

As a condition to the exercise of an option, the Company may require the person exercising such option to represent and warrant at the time of
any such exercise that the shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required by any of the
aforementioned applicable provisions of law. 
 23. Code Section 409A. The 423 Component of the Plan is exempt from the application
of Code Section 409A and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to so be exempt from Code Section 409A. In furtherance of the foregoing and notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, if the Administrator determines that an option
granted under the Plan may be subject to Code Section 409A or that any provision in the Plan would cause an option under the Plan to be subject to Code Section 409A, the Administrator may amend the terms of the Plan and/or of an outstanding option
granted under the Plan, or take such other action the Administrator determines is necessary or appropriate, in each case, without the Participant’s consent, to exempt any outstanding option or future option that may be granted under the Plan
from or to allow any such options to comply with Code Section 409A, but only to the extent any such amendments or action by the Administrator would not violate Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will have no liability to a
Participant or any other party if the option to purchase Common Stock under the Plan that is intended to be exempt from or compliant with Code Section 409A is not so exempt or compliant or for any action taken by the Administrator with respect
thereto. The Company makes no representation that the option to purchase Common Stock under the Plan is compliant with Code Section 409A. 

  
 -16- 










 



 
  

 24. Term of Plan. The Plan will become effective upon the later to occur of
(i) its adoption by the Board or (ii) the business day immediately prior to the Registration Date. It will continue in effect for a term of twenty (20) years, unless sooner terminated under Section 20. 

25. Stockholder Approval. The Plan will be subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company within twelve (12) months after
the date the Plan is adopted by the Board. Such stockholder approval will be obtained in the manner and to the degree required under Applicable Laws. 

26. Governing Law. The Plan will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware (except its choice-of-law provisions). 
 27. No Right to Employment.
Participation in the Plan by a Participant will not be construed as giving a Participant the right to be retained as an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate, as applicable. Further, the Company or a Subsidiary or Affiliate may
dismiss a Participant from employment at any time, free from any liability or any claim under the Plan. 
 28. Severability. If any
provision of the Plan is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason in any jurisdiction or as to any Participant, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect the remaining parts of the Plan,
and the Plan will be construed and enforced as to such jurisdiction or Participant as if the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had not been included. 

29. Compliance with Applicable Laws. The terms of this Plan are intended to comply with all Applicable Laws and will be construed
accordingly. 
 30. Automatic Transfer to Lower Price Offering Period. To the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, if the Fair Market
Value on any Exercise Date in an Offering Period is lower than the Fair Market Value on the Enrollment Date of such Offering Period, then all Participants in such Offering Period automatically will be withdrawn from such Offering Period immediately
after the exercise of their option on such Exercise Date and automatically re-enrolled in an immediately following Offering Period as of the first day thereof.

EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN 
 ENROLLMENT AGREEMENT 
  

			
	             Original Application	  	Offering Date:                         
		
	             Change in Payroll Deduction Rate	  	
		
	             Withdrawal	  	

 1.
                                 (“Employee”) hereby elects to
participate in the AppDynamics, Inc. 2017 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Plan”) and subscribes to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock in accordance with this Enrollment Agreement and the Plan. Unless otherwise defined
herein, the terms defined in the 2017 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Plan”) shall have the same defined meanings in this Enrollment Agreement. 

2. Employee hereby authorizes payroll deductions from each paycheck in the amount of
            % (not to exceed 15%) of his or her Compensation on each payday during the Offering Period in accordance with the Plan. (Please note that no fractional percentages are
permitted.) 
 3. Employee understands that said payroll deductions will be accumulated for the purchase of shares of Common Stock at the
applicable Purchase Price determined in accordance with the Plan. Employee understands that if he or she does not withdraw from an Offering Period, any accumulated payroll deductions will be used to automatically exercise his or her option and
purchase Common Stock under the Plan. 
 4. Employee has received a copy of the complete Plan and its accompanying prospectus. Employee
understands that his or her participation in the Plan is in all respects subject to the terms of the Plan. 
 5. Shares of Common Stock
purchased by Employee under the Plan should be issued in the name(s) of                          (Employee or Employee and
Spouse only). 
 6. For U.S. taxpayers: Employee understands that if he or she disposes of any shares that he or she purchased under the
Plan within two (2) years after the Enrollment Date (the first day of the Offering Period during which he or she purchased such shares) or one (1) year after the applicable Exercise Date, 

  
 -18- 










 



 
  

 
he or she will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as having received ordinary income at the time of such disposition in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the
shares at the time such shares were purchased over the price paid for the shares. Employee hereby agrees to notify the Company in writing within thirty (30) days after the date of any disposition of such shares and to make
adequate provision for federal, state or other tax withholding obligations, if any, that arise upon the disposition of such shares. The Company may, but will not be obligated to, withhold from Employee’s compensation the amount necessary to
meet any applicable withholding obligation including any withholding necessary to make available to the Company any tax deductions or benefits attributable to Employee’s sale or early disposition of such shares. Employee understands that if he
or she disposes of such shares at any time after the expiration of the two (2)-year and one-(1) year holding periods, he or she will be treated for federal income tax purposes as having received
income only at the time of such disposition, and that such income will be taxed as ordinary income only to the extent of an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the excess of the fair market value of the shares at the time of such disposition over
the purchase price paid for the shares, or (ii) fifteen percent (15%) of the fair market value of the shares on the first day of the Offering Period. The remainder of the gain, if any, recognized on such disposition will be taxed as capital
gain. 
 7. Employee hereby agrees to be bound by the terms of the Plan. The effectiveness of this Enrollment Agreement is dependent upon
Employee’s eligibility to participate in the Plan. 
 8. Unless changed pursuant to Section 6(d) of the Plan or terminated as provided
in Sections 10 or 11 of the Plan, this Enrollment Agreement will remain in effect through successive Offering Periods. 
 9. If Employee
elects at the beginning of this Enrollment Agreement to withdraw, Employee hereby direct the Company to pay to Employee as promptly as practicable all the payroll deductions credited to his or her account with respect to the Offering Period from
which he or she is withdrawing. Employee understands and agrees that his or her option for such Offering Period will be terminated automatically. Employee understands further that no further payroll deductions will be made for the purchase of shares
in the current Offering Period and Employee will be eligible to participate in succeeding Offering Periods only by delivering to the Company a new Enrollment Agreement.
