 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plans for research, development, new products and services, marketing and selling, business plans, budgets and unpublished financial statements, licenses, prices and costs, suppliers and customers; (c) information regarding the skills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. 

  

					
	initial CIPA	  	4 of 8	  	Last Revised 8.5.2016            

 

 
  

 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.

 (a)    Severance Benefits upon a Termination in Connection with or Following a Change in Control.
If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined below, and other than as a result of death or disability), or Executive resigns his or her employment with the Company for Good Reason (as defined below), in
either case within three (3) months prior to (and contingent upon the consummation of the Change in Control), in connection with, or within twelve (12) months following the effective date of a Change in Control (a
“CIC Termination”), and provided such termination constitutes a “separation from service” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.409A-l(h), a “Separation from Service”), and further provided that Executive delivers an effective release of claims as required
under Section 3 below, then Executive shall be entitled to the following severance benefits (the “CIC Benefits”): 

(i)    The Company shall pay Executive an amount in cash equal to nine (9) months of Executive’s then
current base salary, paid over the nine (9) month period following Executive’s Separation from Service, in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll schedule, at the time specified in Section 3 below.

  
 1. 

 (ii)    The Company shall pay Executive a lump sum amount in
cash equal to 80% of Executive’s then current target bonus, pro-rated based on the number of full months in the year in which the Separation from Service occurs prior to Executive’s Separation from
Service, at the time specified in Section 3 below, provided that the CIC Termination occurs on or after March 31 in a calendar year. 

(iii)    Subject to Section 9(c), the Company shall pay Executive’s expenses for continuing his or her
health care coverage and that of any dependents who are covered at the time of the Executive’s Separation from Service (the “COBRA Premiums”) under the Consolidated Omnibus
Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”) for a period ending on the earlier of the nine (9) month anniversary of the Separation from Service or the date on which Executive
becomes eligible to be covered by the health care plans of another employer (the “CIC COBRA Period”), so long as Executive timely elects such COBRA continuation coverage. 

(iv)    All outstanding stock awards then held by Executive shall become fully vested with respect to all of the
shares subject thereto, effective immediately prior to Executive’s Separation from Service under this Section 2(a). 

(b)    Severance Benefits upon a Termination that is not a CIC Termination. If Executive’s employment is
terminated by the Company without Cause (other than as a result of death or disability), or Executive resigns his or her employment with the Company for Good Reason, and such termination is not a CIC Termination, and provided such termination
constitutes a Separation from Service and that Executive delivers an effective release of claims as required under Section 3 below, then Executive shall be entitled to the following severance benefits (the “Severance
Benefits”): 
 (i) The Company shall pay Executive an amount in cash equal to six (6) months of Executive’s
then current base salary, paid over the (6) month period following Executive’s Separation from Service, in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll schedule, at the time specified in Section 3 below. 

(ii) The Company shall pay Executive a lump sum amount in cash equal to 80% of Executive’s then current target bonus, pro-rated based on the number of full months in the year in which the Separation from Service occurs prior to Executive’s Separation from Service, at the time specified in Section 3 below; and 

(iii) Subject to Section 9(c), the Company shall pay Executive’s COBRA Premiums for a period ending on the earlier of the
six (6) month anniversary of the Separation from Service or the date on which Executive becomes eligible to be covered by the health care plans of another employer (the “Severance COBRA
Period”), so long as Executive timely elects such COBRA continuation coverage. 

  
 2. 

 (c)    Accrued Wages, Bonus and Vacation, Expenses.
Without regard to the reason for, or the timing of, Executive’s termination of employment, the Company shall pay (or provide reimbursement to) Executive for (i) any unpaid base salary due for periods prior to and including the date of
Separation from Service; (ii) all accrued and unused vacation through the date of Separation from Service, if applicable; (iii) any earned (as determined and approved by the Board prior to the Separation from Service) but not yet paid
incentive bonus from the prior fiscal year, which bonus shall be paid in accordance with the Company’s regular bonus payment process and in any event by no later than two and one-half months after the end
of such subsequent year; and (iv) following submission of proper expense reports by Executive, all expenses reasonably and necessarily incurred by Executive in connection with the business of the Company prior to the Separation from Service.
These payments shall be made promptly upon or following termination and within the period of time mandated by law (or in the case of an earned bonus, within the time period set forth in the Company’s bonus plan and in any event by no later than
two and one-half months after the end of the fiscal year following the year in which the bonus was earned). 

3.    Release Required; Timing of Payments. 

(a)    Requirement of Release. Prior to the payment of any CIC Benefits or Severance Benefits
(including the acceleration of equity, if applicable), Executive shall execute and allow to become effective a standard employment release agreement releasing the Company (and its successor) from any and all claims Executive (or Executive’s
estate or beneficiaries) may have against such entities related to or arising in connection with his or her employment and the terms of such employment and termination thereof (the
“Release”) within the time frame set forth therein, but not later than 60 days following Executive’s Separation from Service (the “Release Effective
Date”). No CIC or Severance Benefits shall be paid or provided prior to the Release Effective Date. 

(b)    Form of Release. The Release shall in substantially the form attached hereto as
Exhibit A, Exhibit B, or Exhibit C, as applicable, and shall specifically relate to all of Executive’s rights and claims in existence at the time of such execution and shall confirm Executive’s continuing obligations to the
Company (including but not limited to obligations under any confidentiality and/or non-solicitation agreement with the Company). Unless a Change in Control has occurred, the Board, in its sole discretion, may
modify the form of the required Release to comply with applicable law and shall determine the form of the required Release, which may be incorporated into a termination agreement or other agreement with Executive. 

(c)    Timing of Payments. Within five days following the Release Effective Date, the Company will
pay (or commence payment of) the CIC Benefits or Severance Benefits Executive would otherwise have received on or prior to such date but for the delay in payment related to the effectiveness of the Release, with the balance of benefits being paid as
scheduled. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company (or, if applicable, the successor entity thereto) determines that any of the CIC Benefits or Severance Benefits constitute “deferred compensation” under Section 409A (defined
below), then, solely to the extent necessary to avoid the incurrence of the adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A, no CIC Benefits or Severance Benefits will be paid prior to the 60th day following Executive’s Separation
from Service. On the 60th day following the date of Separation from Service, the Company will pay to Executive in a lump sum the CIC Benefits or Severance Benefits, as applicable, that Executive would otherwise have received on or prior to such
date, with the balance of the CIC Benefits or Severance Benefits being paid as originally scheduled. 

  
 3. 

 4.    Limitation on Payments. If any payment or benefit
(including payments and benefits pursuant to this Agreement) that Executive would receive in connection with a Change in Control from the Company or otherwise (“Transaction Payment”)
would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the
“Excise Tax”), then the Company shall cause to be determined, before any amounts of the Transaction Payment are paid to Executive, which of the following two alternative forms of payment would
result in Executive’s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater amount of the Transaction Payment notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Transaction Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax:
(1) payment in full of the entire amount of the Transaction Payment (a “Full Payment”), or (2) payment of only a part of the Transaction Payment so that Executive receives the largest
payment possible without the imposition of the Excise Tax (a “Reduced Payment”). For purposes of determining whether to make a Full Payment or a Reduced Payment, the
Company shall cause to be taken into account all applicable federal, state and local income and employment taxes and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes which
could be obtained from a deduction of such state and local taxes). If a Reduced Payment is made, (x) Executive shall have no rights to any additional payments and/or benefits constituting the Transaction Payment, and (y) reduction in
payments and/or benefits will occur in the following order: (1) reduction of cash payments; (2) cancellation of accelerated vesting of equity awards other than stock options; (3) cancellation of accelerated vesting of stock options;
and (4) reduction of other benefits paid to Executive. In the event that acceleration of vesting of equity award compensation is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting will be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant of
Executive’s equity awards. In no event will the Company or any stockholder be liable to Executive for any amounts not paid as a result of the operation of this Section 4. 

(a)    The professional firm engaged by the Company for general tax purposes as of the day prior to the effective
date of the Change in Control shall make all determinations required to be made under this Section 4. If the professional firm so engaged by the Company is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the
Change in Control, the Company shall appoint a nationally recognized independent registered public accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder. The Company shall bear all expenses with respect to the determinations by such
professional firm required to be made hereunder. 
 (b)    The professional firm engaged to make the
determinations hereunder shall provide its calculations, together with detailed supporting documentation, to the Company and Executive within 15 calendar days after the date on which Executive’s right to a Transaction Payment is triggered or
such other time as reasonably requested by the Company or Executive. If the professional firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable with respect to the Transaction Payment, either before or after the application of the Reduced Amount, it shall
furnish the Company and Executive with detailed supporting calculations of its determinations that no Excise Tax will be imposed with respect to such Transaction Payment. Any good faith determinations of the professional firm made hereunder shall be
final, binding and conclusive upon the Company and Executive. 

  
 4. 

 5.    Successors. 

(a)    Company’s Successors. Any successor to the Company (whether direct or indirect and whether by
purchase, lease, merger, consolidation, liquidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the Company’s business and/or assets shall assume the Company’s, or ensure that the Company fully performs its, obligations under this
Agreement and shall perform the Company’s, or ensure that the Company performs its, obligations, under this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent as the Company would be required to perform such obligations in the absence of a
succession. For all purposes under this Agreement, the term “Company” shall include any such successor. 

(b)    Executive’s Successors. Without the written consent of the Company, Executive shall not assign
or transfer any right or obligation under this Agreement to any other person or entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms of this Agreement and all rights of Executive hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by,
Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. 

6.    Notices. 

(a)    General. Notices and all other communications contemplated by this Agreement shall be in writing and
shall be deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered or when mailed by U.S. registered or certified mail, return receipt requested and postage prepaid. In the case of Executive, mailed notices shall be addressed to him at the home
address which he most recently communicated to the Company in writing. In the case of the Company, mailed notices shall be addressed to its corporate headquarters, and all notices shall be directed to the attention of its Secretary. 

(b)    Notice of Termination. Any termination by the Company with or without Cause or by Executive as a
result of a voluntary resignation for any reason shall be communicated by a notice of termination to the other party hereto given in accordance with this Agreement. 

7.    Arbitration. The Company and Executive shall attempt to settle any disputes arising in connection with
this Agreement through good faith consultation. In the event that Executive and the Company are not able to resolve any such disputes within 15 days after notification in writing to the other, any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection
with this Agreement will be finally settled by binding arbitration in Salt Lake City, Utah in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association by one arbitrator mutually agreed upon by the parties. The arbitrator will apply Utah
law, without reference to rules of conflicts of law or rules of statutory arbitration, to the resolution of any dispute. Except as set forth in Section 9(i) below, the arbitrator shall not have authority to modify the terms of this Agreement.
The Company shall pay the costs of the arbitration proceeding. Each party shall, unless otherwise determined by the arbitrator, bear its or his or her own attorneys’ fees and expenses, provided 

  
 5. 

 
however that if Executive prevails in an arbitration proceeding, the Company shall reimburse Executive for his or her reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. Judgment on the award rendered by
the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and Executive may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for preliminary or interim equitable relief, or to compel arbitration
in accordance with this paragraph, without breach of this arbitration provision. 
 8.    Definition of Terms.
The following terms referred to in this Agreement shall have the following meanings: 
 (a)    Cause.
“Cause” for termination of Executive’s employment will exist if Executive is terminated by the Company for any of the following reasons: (i) Executive’s commission of any material act
of dishonesty; (ii) Executive’s conviction of a felony or any crime involving moral turpitude; (iii) Executive’s commission of any action that that has caused or is reasonably expected to result in material harm to the business
or the reputation of the Company (excluding any action taken in good faith); (iv) Executive’s material violation of any duty or obligation owed by Executive to the Company which causes or is reasonably expected to cause material injury to the
Company; (v) Executive’s material breach of any of his or her obligations under any written agreement or covenant with the Company, including but not limited to Executive’s Confidentiality and Intellectual Property Agreement; or
(vi) Executive’s repeated refusal to substantially perform his or her assigned duties. The determination as to whether Executive is being terminated for Cause shall be made in good faith by the Company and shall be final and binding on
Executive. The term “Company” will be interpreted to include any subsidiary, parent or affiliate of the Company , as appropriate. 

(b)    Change in Control. “Change in Control” shall have
the meaning set forth in the Company’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, as it may be amended from time to time; provided that to the extent required for compliance with Section 409A of the Code, in no event will a Change in Control be deemed to
have occurred if such transaction is not also a “change in the ownership or effective control of’ the Company or “a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of’ the Company as determined under Treasury
Regulations Section 1.409A-3(i)(5) (without regard to any alternative definition thereunder). 

(c)    Good Reason. “Good Reason” for Executive’s
resignation of his or her employment shall exist following the occurrence of any of the following without Executive’s written consent: (i) a material reduction in job duties, responsibilities, title or authority inconsistent with the
Executive’s position with the Company; provided, however, that any such reduction or change (including a change in title) after a Change in Control will not constitute Good Reason if Executive retains reasonably comparable duties,
position and responsibilities with respect to the Company’s business within the successor entity following a Change of Control; (ii) a material reduction of Executive’s then current base salary, representing a reduction of more than
10% of the Executive’s then current base salary; provided, that an across-the-board reduction in the salary level of all executive officers of the Company by
the same percentage amount as part of a general salary level reduction implemented prior to a Change in Control shall not constitute such a material salary reduction; or (iii) the relocation of Executive’s principal place of employment to
a place that increases Executive’s one-way commute by more than 35 miles as compared to Executive’s then current principal place of employment immediately prior 

  
 6. 

 to such relocation; provided, that the Executive gives written notice to the Company of the event
forming the basis of the termination for Good Reason within 60 days after the date on which the Company gives written notice to the Executive of the Company’s affirmative decision to take an action set forth in clause (i), (ii), or
(iii) above, the Company fails to cure such basis for the Good Reason resignation within 30 days after receipt of Executive’s written notice and Executive terminates his or her employment within 30 days following the expiration of the cure
period. 
 9.    Miscellaneous Provisions. 

(a)    Executive Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, payment of any of
the CIC Benefits or Severance Benefits will be conditioned upon (i) Executive continuing to comply with his or her obligations under the Confidentiality and Intellectual Property Agreement (or such similar form that Executive previously
executed in connection with his or her employment) during the period of time in which Executive is receiving the CIC Benefits or Severance Benefits; and (ii) Executive’s resignation from all positions with the Company, any subsidiaries and
affiliates, and the Board (as applicable), to be effective no later than the date of Separation from Service (or such other date as determined by the Board). 

(b)    Income and Employment Taxes. All amounts paid or provided under this Agreement shall be net of
required withholdings, and Executive shall be responsible for any additional taxes of any nature (including any penalties or interest that may apply to such taxes) that the Company reasonably determines apply to any payment made hereunder.
Executive’s receipt of any benefit hereunder is conditioned on his or her satisfaction of any applicable withholding or similar obligations that apply to such benefit and any cash payment owed hereunder will be reduced to satisfy any such
withholding or similar obligations that may apply. 
 (c)    Alternative Method of Providing COBRA Benefit.
If the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that the Company cannot pay COBRA Premiums as provided in Section 2(a) or 2(b) without potentially incurring financial costs or penalties under applicable law (including, without
limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), the Company shall in lieu thereof pay Executive a taxable cash amount, which payment shall be made regardless of whether Executive or Executive’s eligible family members elect
health care continuation coverage (the “Health Care Benefit Payment”). The Health Care Benefit Payment shall be paid in monthly installments on the same schedule and over the same time period that
the COBRA Premiums would otherwise have been paid on behalf of the Executive. The Health Care Benefit Payment shall be equal to the amount that the Company would have otherwise paid for COBRA Premiums (which amount shall be calculated based on the
premium for the first month of coverage), and shall be paid until the expiration of the CIC COBRA Period or the Severance COBRA Period, as applicable. 

(d)    No Duty to Mitigate. Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment
contemplated by this Agreement, nor shall any such payment be reduced by any earnings that Executive may receive from any other source. 

  
 7. 

 (e)    Interaction with Other CIC Benefits. In the event
that Executive would be entitled to a greater level of CIC Benefits under the terms and conditions of an individual stock option agreement with the Company or a severance plan or policy provided by the Company or its successor to other Company
employees being terminated within three (3) months prior to (and contingent upon the consummation of the Change in Control), in connection with, or within twelve (12) months following a Change in Control but for the existence of this Agreement,
Executive shall be entitled to receive the greater of the CIC Benefits or the benefits under such other agreement, plan or policy subject to the applicable terms and conditions thereof. 

(f)    Waiver. No provision of this Agreement may be waived or discharged unless the waiver or discharge is
agreed to in writing and signed by the Executive and by an authorized officer of the Company (other than Executive). No waiver by either party of any breach of, or of compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement by the other party
shall be considered a waiver of any other condition or provision or of the same condition or provision at another time. 

(g)    Integration. This Agreement supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements, whether written or
oral, with respect to this Agreement; provided that, for clarification purposes, this Agreement shall not affect any agreements between the Company and Executive regarding intellectual property matters,
non-solicitation or non-competition restrictions or confidential information of the Company. 

(h)    Choice of Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be
governed by the internal substantive laws, but not the conflicts of law rules, of the State of Utah. 

(i)    Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision or provisions of this Agreement
shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof, which shall remain in full force and effect. 

(j)    Code Section 409A. It is intended that each installment of the payments and
benefits provided for in this Agreement is a separate “payment” for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(i). For the avoidance of doubt, it is intended that payments of the
amounts set forth in this Agreement satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the exemptions from the application of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)
(Section 409A of the Code, together, with any state law of similar effect, “Section 409A”) provided under Treasury Regulations
1.409A-1(b)(4), 1.409A-1(b)(5) and 1.409A-1(b)(9). However, if the Company (or, if applicable, the successor entity thereto) determines that the severance payments and
benefits provided under this Agreement (the “Agreement Payments”) constitute “deferred compensation” under Section 409A and Executive is, on the date of his or her Separation from
Service, a “specified employee” of the Company or any successor entity thereto, as such term is defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code (a “Specified Employee”), then, solely
to the extent necessary to avoid the incurrence of the adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A, the timing of the Severance Benefits described in Section 4(b) shall be delayed as follows: on the earlier to occur of
(i) the date that is six months and one day after Executive’s Separation from Service or (ii) the date of Executive’s death (such earlier date, the “Delayed Initial Payment
Date”), the Company (or the successor entity thereto, as applicable) shall pay to Executive a lump sum amount equal to the applicable benefit that Executive would otherwise have received through the Delayed Initial Payment
Date if the commencement of the payment of the benefit had not been so delayed pursuant to this Section 9(j). 

  
 8. 

 (k)    Legal Fees and Expenses. The parties shall each
bear their own expenses, legal fees and other fees incurred in connection with the execution of this Agreement. 

(l)    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an
original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

 In
consideration of receiving certain benefits under my Executive Agreement with Instructure, Inc. (the “Company”) dated
[                , 2015] (the “Agreement”), I have agreed to sign this Release. I understand that I am not
entitled to benefits under the Agreement unless I sign this Release. 
 I understand that this Release, together with the Agreement,
constitutes the complete, final and exclusive embodiment of the entire agreement between the Company, affiliates of the Company and me with regard to the subject matter hereof. I am not relying on any promise or representation by the Company that is
not expressly stated therein. Certain capitalized terms used in this Release are defined in the Agreement. 
 I hereby confirm my
obligations under my Confidentiality and Intellectual Property Agreement (or such similar form that I previously executed in connection with my employment) with the Company, including but not limited to the nonsolicitation of employees covenant set
forth in such agreement. 
 Except as otherwise set forth in this Release, I hereby generally and completely release the Company and its
current and former directors, officers, executives, stockholders, stockholders, partners, agents, attorneys, predecessors, successors, parent and subsidiary entities, insurers, affiliates, and assigns (collectively, the

employment with the Company or its affiliates, or the termination of that employment; (2) all claims related to my compensation or benefits, including salary, bonuses, commissions, vacation pay, expense reimbursements, severance pay, fringe

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following are not included in the Released Claims (the “Excluded Claims”): (l) any rights or claims for indemnification I may have pursuant to any written
indemnification agreement with the Company to which I am a party, the charter or bylaws of the Company, or under applicable law; (2) any rights related to vested securities of the Company that were granted to me during the course of my
employment with the Company or any shares of capital stock or other securities of the Company that I purchased other

than pursuant to a Company stock option or stock plan; or (3) any rights which are not waivable as a matter of law. In addition, nothing in this Release prevents me from filing, cooperating
with, or participating in any proceeding before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Department of Labor, or any other local, state, or federal administrative body or government agency that is authorized to enforce or administer laws
related to employment, against the Company, except that I hereby waive my right to any monetary benefits in connection with any such claim, charge or proceeding. I hereby represent and warrant that, other than the Excluded Claims, I am not aware of

were not terminated, along with information on the eligibility factors used to select employees for the group termination and any time limits applicable to this group termination program. 

I hereby represent that 1 have been paid all compensation owed and for all hours worked, I have received all the leave and leave benefits and
protections for which I am eligible, and I have not suffered any on-the-job injury for which I have not already filed a workers’ compensation claim. 

I hereby agree not to disparage the Company, or its officers, directors, executives, stockholders or agents, in any manner likely to be
harmful to its or their business, business reputation, or personal reputation; provided, however, that I will respond accurately and fully to any question, inquiry or request for information when required by legal process.

Date”). 
 I hereby represent that I have been paid all compensation owed and for all hours worked, I have received all the

compensation claim. 
 I hereby agree not to disparage the Company, or its officers, directors, executives, stockholders or agents, in any
manner likely to be harmful to its or their business, business reputation, or personal reputation; provided, however, that I will respond accurately and fully to any question, inquiry or request for information when required by legal process.

 I acknowledge that to become effective, I must sign and return this Release to the Company so that it is received not later than twenty-one (21) days following the date it is provided to me, and I must not revoke it thereafter. 

I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS RELEASE AGREEMENT INCLUDES A RELEASE OF ALL KNOWN AND UNKNOWN CLAIMS, EVEN THOSE UNKNOWN CLAIMS THAT, IF KNOWN BY
ME, WOULD AFFECT MY DECISION TO ACCEPT THIS RELEASE AGREEMENT.
