This letter (this “Agreement”) constitutes the agreement between (a) Sumo Logic, Inc. (“Company”) and (b) Scalar Gauge Fund LP (“Scalar Gauge”) and each of the other related Persons (as defined below) set forth on the signature pages to this Agreement (collectively with Scalar Gauge, the “Scalar Gauge Signatories”).

(a)Identification. Effective as of the date of this Agreement, Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) will take all action necessary (including increasing the size of the Board) to (i) appoint John D. Harkey, Jr. (the “First New Director”) as a Class II director with a term expiring at Company’s 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2022 Annual Meeting”); and (ii) begin a process to identify a second new independent director, to be appointed to the Board by August 1, 2022, if practicable, who shall be mutually agreed upon by Scalar Gauge and identified by the Board, cooperating in good faith (with Scalar Gauge’s consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) (the “Second New Director” and together with the First New Director, the “New Directors”).

Company will take all action necessary to (i) include the First New Director on the Board’s slate of director nominees standing for election at the 2022 Annual Meeting; (ii) recommend that Company’s stockholders vote, and solicit proxies, in favor of the election of the First New Director at the 2022 Annual Meeting; and (iii) otherwise support the First New Director for election in a manner no less rigorous and favorable than the manner in which Company supports its other director nominees at the 2022 Annual Meeting.
2.Replacement of the First New Director. During the Restricted Period (as defined below) but subject to paragraph 3, if the First New Director ceases to be a member of the Board for any reason, then the Board will take all action necessary to promptly appoint Nicholas Graziano to serve as a director in place of the First New Director. If during the Restricted Period Mr. Graziano is unwilling or unable to serve or is appointed and ceases to be a member of the Board for any reason, then Scalar Gauge will have the right to identify (and, subject to the next sentence of this paragraph 2, the Board will take all action necessary to, within 10 Business Days, if practicable, appoint) another person (a “Replacement Director”) to serve as a director in place of the First New Director. Any Replacement Director must (a) be reasonably acceptable to the Board; (b) be qualified to serve as a member of the Board under all applicable corporate governance policies or guidelines of Company and the Board and applicable legal and regulatory requirements; (c) meet the independence requirements with respect to Company of the listing rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) and all applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”); and (d) have complied with Company’s procedures for new director candidates (including the full completion of a directors and officers questionnaire, undergoing a customary background check, and participating in interviews with the members of the Board’s Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and the Board). In connection with the appointment of Mr. Graziano or any Replacement Director, the members of the Scalar Gauge Group will again make, for the benefit of Company, the representations in clauses (d) and (f) of paragraph 19. Upon becoming a member of the Board, Mr. Graziano or the Replacement Director, as applicable, will succeed to all of the rights and privileges, and will be bound by the terms and conditions, of the First New Director under this Agreement.
3.Termination of Certain Obligations. Company’s obligations under paragraph 1, paragraph 2, paragraph 4 and paragraph 5 will immediately terminate upon the earliest of: (a) the Scalar Gauge Group no longer beneficially owning shares of Company’s common stock (which shares are determined to be Net Long Shares (as defined below)) representing in the aggregate at least one (1) percent of Company’s then-outstanding common stock; (b) any Restricted Person (as defined below) breaching this Agreement and such breach not being cured (if capable of being cured) within 15 days after receipt by Scalar Gauge from Company of written notice specifying the breach; or (c) the submission by any Restricted Person of any director nominations in connection with any meeting of Company’s stockholders.

Within 30 days of the date of this Agreement, the Audit Committee of the Board will take all action necessary to commence a business review initiative (the “Business Review Initiative”). The Business Review Initiative will focus on Company’s current operations and strategy to drive profitable growth and stockholder value. The Audit Committee will regularly report to the Board regarding its findings and recommendations in connection with the Business Review Initiative. The Audit Committee will be empowered to retain the services of an appropriate consulting firm to assist with the Business Review Initiative.

6.Recusal. Scalar Gauge understands and agrees that the Board or any of its committees, in the exercise of its fiduciary duties, may require that the First New Director be recused from any Board or committee meeting or portion thereof at which the Board or any such committee is evaluating or taking action with respect to the exercise of any of Company’s rights or enforcement of any of the obligations under this Agreement.
7.Compliance with Laws and Company Policies.

8.No Fiduciary Restriction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Company and Scalar Gauge each acknowledge that the New Directors, during the New Directors’ service as directors of Company, will not be prohibited from acting in the New Directors’ capacity as directors or from complying with the New Directors’ fiduciary duties as directors of Company (including voting on any matter submitted for consideration by the Board, participating in deliberations or discussions of the Board, and making suggestions or raising any issues or recommendations to the Board).

This Agreement constitutes the only agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and it supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written.

If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this Agreement that is held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable, and this Agreement will otherwise be construed so as to effectuate the original intention of the Parties reflected in this Agreement. The Parties further agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the purposes of such invalid or unenforceable provision.
24.Governing Law; Forum. This Agreement is governed by and will be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware. Each of the Parties (a) irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and any appellate court thereof (unless the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction over the matter, in which case the United States District Court for the District of Delaware and any appellate court thereof will have exclusive personal jurisdiction); (b) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court; (c) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or otherwise in any court other than the such courts; and (d) waives any claim of improper venue or any claim that those courts are an inconvenient forum. The Parties agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action or proceeding in the manner provided in paragraph 27 or in such other manner as may be permitted by applicable law, will be valid and sufficient service thereof.
25.Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES, AFTER CONSULTING OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH COUNSEL, KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT THAT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN), OR ACTIONS OF ANY OF THEM. No Party will seek to consolidate, by counterclaim or otherwise, any action in which a jury trial has been waived with any other action in which a jury trial cannot be or has not been waived.
