 CONFIDENTIALITY AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AGREEMENT 

In consideration of my employment or continued employment by Instructure, Inc. (“Company”), and the compensation now and hereafter paid to me, I
hereby agree to the terms of this agreement (the “Agreement”) as follows: 
  

	1.	 Nondisclosure. 



(a)     Nondisclosure. At all times during my employment and thereafter, I will hold in strictest confidence and will not disclose,
use, lecture upon or publish any of Company’s Proprietary or Confidential Information (defined below), except as such disclosure, use or publication may be required in connection with my work for Company, or unless an officer of Company
expressly authorizes such in writing. I will obtain Company’s written approval before publishing or submitting for publication any material (written, verbal, or otherwise) that relates to my work at Company and/or incorporates any Proprietary
or Confidential Information. I hereby assign to Company any rights I may have or acquire in such Confidential Information and recognize that all Confidential Information shall be the sole property of the Company and its assigns. 

(b)     Confidential Information. The term “Confidential Information” means any documentation, data, or information which
is valuable to the Company and not generally known to the public, including but not limited to any and all knowledge, data or information related to Company’s business or its actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, including
without limitation (a) trade secrets, mask works, ideas, processes, formulas, source and object codes, data, programs, other works of authorship, know-how, improvements, discoveries, developments, designs and techniques; (b) information
regarding plans for research, development, new products and services, marketing and selling, business plans, budgets and unpublished financial statements, licenses, prices and costs, suppliers and customers; (c) information regarding the skills
and compensation of other employees, contractors, and any other service providers of Company; and (d) the existence of any business discussions, negotiations, or agreements between Company and any third party. 

(c)     Third Party Information. I understand that Company has received and in the future will receive from third parties
confidential or proprietary information (“Third Party Information”) subject to a duty to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes. During the term of my employment and thereafter, I
will hold Third Party Information in the strictest confidence and will not disclose to any person, firm or corporation (other than Company personnel who need to know such information in connection with their work for Company) or use it except as
necessary in carrying out my work for Company consistent with Company’s agreement with such third party or unless expressly authorized by an officer of Company in writing. 

(d)     Former Employer Information. I represent that my employment by Company does not and will not breach any agreement with any
former employer, including any non-compete agreement or any agreement to keep in confidence or refrain from using information acquired by me prior to my employment by Company. I further represent that I have not entered into, and will not enter
into, any agreement, either written or oral, in conflict with my obligations under this Agreement. I will not, during my employment with Company, improperly use or disclose any confidential information or trade secrets of any former or concurrent
employer or other person or entity and that I will not bring onto the premises of Company, or upload onto the Company’s systems, any unpublished documents or confidential information belonging to any such employer, in violation of any lawful
agreements with such employer, person or entity. I will use in the performance of my duties only information that is generally known and used by persons with training and experience comparable to my own, is common knowledge in the industry or
otherwise legally in the public domain, or is otherwise provided or developed by Company.

	2.	 Assignment of Inventions. 



(a)     Definitions. As used in this Agreement, the term “Invention(s)” means any ideas, concepts, information, materials,
processes, data, programs, know-how, improvements, discoveries, developments, designs, artwork, formulae, other copyrightable works, and techniques and all Intellectual Property Rights in any of the items listed above. The term “Intellectual
Property Rights” means all trade secrets, copyrights, trademarks, mask work rights, patents and other intellectual property rights recognized by the laws of any jurisdiction or country. The term “Moral Rights” means all paternity,
integrity, disclosure, withdrawal, special and any other similar rights recognized by the laws of any jurisdiction or country. 
 (b)
    Prior Inventions. I have set forth on Exhibit A (Inventions) a complete list of all Inventions that I have, alone or jointly with others, conceived, developed or reduced to practice or caused to be conceived, developed
or reduced to practice prior to the commencement of my employment with Company, in which I have an ownership interest or which I have a license to use and that I wish to have excluded from the scope of this agreement (collectively referred to as
“Prior Inventions”). If no Prior Inventions are listed in Exhibit A, I warrant that there are no Prior Inventions. If, in the course of my employment with Company, I incorporate a Prior Invention into a Company product, process or machine,
I hereby grant Company a nonexclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide license (with rights to sublicense through multiple tiers of sublicensees) to reproduce, make derivative works of, distribute, publicly perform, publicly display
in any form or medium, whether now known or later developed, make, have made, modify, use, sell, import, offer for sale, and exercise any and all present or future rights in, such Prior Invention. Notwithstanding the foregoing, I agree that I will
not incorporate, or permit to be incorporated, any Prior Inventions in any Company Inventions (as defined below) without Company’s prior written consent. 

(c)     Assignment of Inventions. Subject to Sections 2(d) and 2(f), I hereby assign and agree to assign in the future (when any
such Inventions or Intellectual Property Rights are first reduced to practice or first fixed in a tangible medium, as applicable) to Company all my right, title and interest in and to any and all Inventions (and all Intellectual Property Rights with
respect thereto) whether or not patentable or registrable under copyright or similar statutes, made or conceived or reduced to practice or learned by me, either alone or jointly with others, during the period of my employment with Company.
Inventions assigned to Company, or to a third party as directed by Company pursuant to Section 2(f) are referred to as “Company Inventions.” I further agree that all original works of authorship which are made by me (solely or jointly
with others) within the scope of and during the period of my employment and which are protectable by copyright are “works made for hire,” as that term is defined in the United States Copyright Act. Any assignment of Inventions (and all
Intellectual Property Rights with respect thereto) hereunder includes an assignment of all Moral Rights. To the extent such Moral Rights cannot be assigned to Company and to the extent the following is allowed by the laws in any country where Moral
Rights exist, I hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waive the enforcement of such Moral Rights, and all claims and causes of action of any kind against Company or related to Company’s customers, with respect to such rights. I further
acknowledge and agree that neither my successors-in-interest nor legal heirs retain any Moral Rights in any Inventions (and any Intellectual Property Rights with respect thereto). 

(d)     Nonassignable Inventions. I understand that this agreement does not apply to an Invention which I can prove qualifies fully
as a nonassignable Invention under applicable law. I have reviewed the Limited Exclusion Notification section on Exhibit A (Inventions) and agree that my signature on this agreement acknowledges receipt of the notification. 

  

					
	initial CIPA	  	2 of 8	  	Last Revised 8.5.2016            















 



 
  

 (e)     Obligation to Keep Company Informed. During the period of my employment
and for one (1) year after termination of my employment with Company, I will promptly disclose to Company in writing all Inventions authored, conceived or reduced to practice by me, either alone or jointly with others, including any that may
qualify as a nonassignable Invention under applicable law. In addition, I will promptly disclose to Company all patent applications filed by me or on my behalf, or in which I am named as an inventor or co-inventor, within a year after termination of
employment. At the time of each such disclosure, I will advise Company in writing of any Inventions that I believe fully qualify as nonassignable under applicable law; and I will at that time provide to Company in writing all evidence necessary to
substantiate that belief. Company will keep in confidence and will not use for any purpose or disclose to third parties without my consent any confidential information disclosed in writing to Company pursuant to this Agreement relating to Inventions
that qualify fully as nonassignable under the provisions of applicable law. 
 (f)     Government or Third Party. I agree to
assign all my right, title and interest in and to any particular Company Invention to a third party, including without limitation the United States, as directed by Company. 

(g)     Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights. During and after the period of my employment and at Company’s request and
expense, I will assist Company in every proper way, including consenting to and joining in any action, to obtain and enforce United States and foreign Intellectual Property Rights and Moral Rights relating to Company Inventions in all countries. If
Company is unable to secure my signature on any document needed in connection with such purposes, I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as my agent and attorney in fact, which appointment is
coupled with an interest, to act on my behalf to execute and file any such documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further such purposes with the same legal force and effect as if executed by me. 

3.     Records. I agree to keep and maintain adequate and current records of all Inventions developed by me (solely
or jointly) during the period of my employment at Company. The records shall be available to and remain the sole property of Company at all times. 
 4.
    Unfair Competition. I understand and agree that Company is engaged in a highly competitive business and has expended, and continues to expend, significant resources to develop and
maintain valuable customer and employee relationships, Proprietary and Confidential Information, and good will in the business community and the marketplace it serves. I understand and agree that my work for Company will bring me into close contact
with many Company customers and employees, and it will provide me access to Proprietary and Confidential Information. Accordingly, I further agree that the covenants in this Agreement are reasonable and necessary to protect Company’s legitimate
business interests in its customer and employee relationships, its good will, and its Proprietary and Confidential Information. To protect these legitimate interests, I agree as follows: 

(a)     Solicitation of
Employees. I agree that for the period of my employment by Company and for twelve (12) months after the date of termination of my employment I will not, either directly or indirectly, solicit, or
attempt to solicit, or participate in the solicitation of, any employee, independent contractor or consultant of Company to terminate his or her relationship with Company in order to become an employee, consultant or independent contractor to or for
any other person or entity. This restriction is limited to those Company employees, consultants, and independent contractors (i) who held such status with Company as of the date of my termination of employment or (ii) who would have held such status
as of the date of my termination of employment but for my having encouraged or solicited them to terminate their employment. 

  

					
	initial CIPA	  	3 of 8	  	Last Revised 8.5.2016            















 



 
  

 (b)     Solicitation of Customers. I agree that for the period of my employment by
Company and for twelve (12) months after the date of termination of my employment, I will not solicit the business of any customer of Company for any other business, individual, or party that competes with the products and services offered by
Company. “Customer” means any person or entity (i) that is doing business with Company at the time of my termination, or has done business with Company during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding termination of my
employment, and (ii) for which I provided any services, or for which I was responsible for the provision of services by others, or about which I had access to Proprietary or Confidential Information during the twelve (12) month period
immediately preceding my termination. If I am employed by Company in California, this provision shall only apply for the period of my employment by Company and shall not apply following the termination of my relationship with Company. 

(c)     Covenant Not to Compete. I agree that during the course of my employment and for twelve (12) months following the
termination of my relationship with Company by either party for any reason, I will not , directly or indirectly, as a partner, employee, officer, director, agent, investor, owner, consultant or otherwise, solicit, perform or provide, or attempt to
perform or provide Conflicting Services (defined below) anywhere in the Territory (defined below), nor will I assist another person to solicit, perform or provide or attempt to perform or provide Conflicting Services anywhere in the Territory. If I
am employed by Company in California, this provision shall only apply for the period of my employment by Company and shall not apply following the termination of my relationship with Company. 

(d)     Reasonableness of Restrictions. For purposes of this Agreement, “Conflicting Services” means any product,
service, or process or the research and development thereof, of any person or organization other than Company that directly competes with a product, service, or process, including the research and development thereof, of Company with which I worked
directly or indirectly during my employment by Company or about which I acquired Proprietary or Confidential Information during my employment by Company. For purposes of this Agreement, “Territory” shall mean any geographic area for which
I had functional or actual responsibility during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the termination of my employment, as well as any area for which my knowledge of Confidential Information jeopardizes Company’s interest in
protecting that information. Nothing contained herein shall prohibit me from being the passive owner of not more than 1% of the outstanding stock of any class of a corporation which is engaged in a competitive business of Company and which is
publicly traded. Nothing contained herein shall prohibit me from seeking a waiver from Company of these obligations at the time of any termination and waiver will not be unreasonably withheld. I acknowledge that my fulfillment of the obligations
contained in this agreement is necessary to protect Company’s legitimate interests and, consequently, to preserve the value and goodwill of Company. I further acknowledge the time, geographic and scope limitations of my obligations under this
section are reasonable and represent restrictions which are no greater than necessary so as to afford Company the opportunity to protect its legitimate interests. Further, I acknowledge that employment opportunities exist such that I can be
gainfully employed without violating these restrictions. 
 (e)     Non-Disparagement. During Employee’s
employment with the Company and thereafter, Employee will not make, issue, release or authorize any written or oral statements, derogatory or defamatory in nature, about the Company or its subsidiaries or their respective stockholders, members,
directors, managers, officers or employees. However, nothing in this paragraph prohibits Employee from making truthful statements required by legal process issued by a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction, and/or to any federal, state, or
local government agency.

 5.     No Conflicting
Obligation. I represent that I have not entered into any agreements and am not subject to any duties to third parties, which are inconsistent with the terms of this agreement. I agree that, during my employment with Company,
I will not without Company’s express written consent, engage in any other employment, occupation, consulting or other business activity directly related to the business in which Company is now involved or becomes involved during my employment,
nor will I enter into any agreements or commitments or engage in any other activities that conflict with my obligations to Company. 
 6.
    Return of Company Documents. When I leave the employ of Company or upon Company’s request at any other time, I will deliver to Company
all of Company’s property, equipment, drawings, notes, memoranda, specifications, devices, formulas, and documents, together with all copies thereof, and any other material containing or disclosing any Inventions, Third Party Information or
Confidential Information of Company and certify in writing that I have fully complied with the foregoing obligation. I agree that I will not copy, delete, or alter any information contained upon my Company computer or Company equipment before I
return it to Company. In addition, if I have used any personal computer, server , or e-mail system to receive, store, review, prepare or transmit any Company information, including but not limited to Confidential Information, I agree to provide the
Company with a computer-useable copy of all such Confidential Information and then permanently delete and expunge such Confidential Information from those systems; and I agree to provide the Company access to my system as reasonably requested to
verify that the necessary copying and/or deletion is completed. I further agree that any property situated on Company’s premises and owned by Company, including disks and other storage media, filing cabinets or other work areas, is subject to
inspection by Company personnel at any time with or without further notice. 
 7.     Notification
of New Employer. In the event that I leave the employ of Company, I hereby consent to the notification of my new employer of my rights and obligations under this agreement, but
Company providing a copy of this Agreement or otherwise. 
  

	8.	 General Provisions. 



(a)     Governing Law; Consent to Personal Jurisdiction. This Agreement will be governed by and construed according to the laws of
the State of Utah, without giving effect to any conflict of laws principles that require the application of the law of a different state. I expressly consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue in the state and federal courts located in
the County of Salt Lake, State of Utah, for any litigation related to or arising from this Agreement or related to the employment relationship between the parties. 

(b)     Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 Notice. Under the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, Employee shall not be held
criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that: (a) is made (i) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an
attorney; and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (b) is made to Employee’s attorney in relation to a lawsuit for retaliation against Employee for reporting a suspected violation
of law; or (c) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. 
 (c)
    Severability. If one or more of the provisions in this Agreement are deemed invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the parties agree that the court should modify the provision to the minimum extent necessary to
render said provision enforceable. Should any court of competent jurisdiction determine that any provision of this Agreement is unenforceable and cannot be modified to be enforceable, that provision shall become void, leaving the remaining
provisions in full force and effect. 

  

					
	initial CIPA	  	5 of 8	  	Last Revised 8.5.2016            















 



 
  

 (d)     Successors and Assigns. This Agreement will be binding upon my heirs,
executors, administrators and other legal representatives and will be for the benefit of Company, its successors, and its assigns. 
 (e)
    Survival. The provisions of this Agreement shall survive the termination of my employment and the assignment of this Agreement by Company to any successor in interest or other assignee. 

(f)     Employment. I agree and understand that nothing in this agreement shall confer any right with respect to continuation of
employment by Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with my right or Company’s right to terminate my employment at any time, with or without cause and with or without advance notice. 

(g)     Notices. Any notices required or permitted hereunder shall be given to the appropriate party at the address specified below
or at such other address as the party shall specify in writing. Such notice shall be deemed given upon personal delivery to the appropriate address or if sent by certified or registered mail, three (3) days after the date of mailing. 

(h)     Legal and Equitable Remedies. Because my services are personal and unique and because I may have access to and become
acquainted with the Confidential Information of Company, any breach of this Agreement by me would cause irreparable injury to the Company for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and, therefore, Company shall have the right to
enforce this Agreement and any of its provisions by temporary, preliminary, and permanent injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief, without bond and without prejudice to any other rights and remedies that Company may have for a
breach of this agreement. 
 (i)     Waiver. No waiver by Company of any breach of this Agreement shall be a waiver of any
preceding or succeeding breach. No waiver or failure by Company to enforce any right under this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver of that right or any other right on any other occasion. Company shall not be required to give notice to enforce
strict adherence to all terms of this agreement. 
 (j)     Export. I agree not to export, reexport, or transfer, directly or
indirectly, and U.S. technical data acquired from Company or any products utilizing such data, in violation of the United States export laws or regulations. 

(k)     Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all
of which shall be taken together and deemed to be one instrument. 
 (l)     Entire Agreement. The obligations pursuant to
Sections 1 and 2 of this agreement shall apply to any time during which I was previously employed, or am in the future employed, by Company as a consultant if no other agreement governs nondisclosure and assignment of Inventions during such period.
This Agreement is the final, complete and exclusive agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and merges all prior communications between us with respect to such matters. No modification of or amendment to
this Agreement, other than by a court pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 8, nor any waiver of any rights under this Agreement, will be effective unless in writing and signed by me and the CEO of Company. Any subsequent change or
changes in my duties, salary or compensation will not affect the validity or scope of this Agreement.
