			Withdrawal or Termination.  During the Period of Secondment of any Provided Personnel, subject to the terms of any collective bargaining agreement covering Provided Personnel to which Services is a party, Services will not voluntarily withdraw or terminate any Provided Personnel except for terminations for cause (as reasonably determined by Services) or with the written consent of the Partnership, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Upon the termination of employment, the Provided Personnel will cease performing services for the Partnership.
		

		
			Termination of Secondment.  The Partnership will have the right to terminate the Secondment to the Partnership of any Provided Personnel for any reason at any time in accordance with the policies and 
		

		 

		

			2

			Supervision.  During the Period of Secondment, the Partnership shall:
		

			
	
			
				 (e)
			be ultimately and fully responsible for the daily work assignments of the Provided Personnel (and with respect to Shared Provided Personnel, during those times that the Shared Provided Personnel are performing services for the Partnership hereunder), including supervision of their the day-to-day work activities and performance consistent with the purposes stated in Section 0;

			
	
			
				 (f)
			subject to Services’ policies and procedures, set the hours of work and the holidays and vacation schedules for Provided Personnel (other than with respect to Shared Provided Personnel, as to which the Partnership and Services shall jointly determine); 

			
	
			
				 (g)
			have the right to determine training which will be received by the Provided Personnel.

			3

		

 

		Expenses”) that are incurred by Services in connection with the provision of the Provided Personnel under this Agreement.  Any such reimbursement by the Partnership shall be made in accordance with Section 2.1(f) of the Omnibus Agreement and Section 3 of the Agency Agreement.

As such, if the Period of Secondment begins on other than the first day of a month or ends on other than the last day of a month, the Provided Personnel Expenses for such month shall be prorated based on the number of days during such month that the Period of Secondment was in effect.
		

		
			Adjustments for Shared Services.    With respect to each Provided Personnel who is a Shared Provided Personnel, Services (or its applicable Seconding Affiliate) will determine in good faith the percentage of such Shared Provided Personnel’s time spent providing services to the Partnership (the “Allocation Percentage”). For each month during the Period of Secondment, the amount of the  Services  Reimbursement payable by the Partnership with respect to each Shared Provided Personnel shall be calculated by multiplying the Provided Personnel Expenses for such Shared Provided Personnel by the Allocation Percentage for such Shared Provided Personnel.
		

			
	
			
				 ARTICLE 4
			
ALLOCATION; RECORDS

		
			Allocation; Records.  Services will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain an allocation schedule reflecting the direct and indirect costs of the Provided Personnel Expenses based on the services that the Provided Personnel have provided to the Partnership in relation to the Partnership Business.

The Partnership and its representatives will have the right to audit such records and such other records as the Partnership may reasonably require in connection with its verification of the Provided Personnel Expenses during regular business hours and on reasonable prior notice.
		

			
	
			
				 ARTICLE 5
			
TERM; DEFAULT AND TERMINATION

		
			Term.  The term of this Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and will continue until the termination of the Omnibus Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof.

			4

		

 

		(collectively, the “Claims”) that are incurred by such Indemnified Parties in connection with, relating to or arising out of (a) the breach by Services and its Affiliates, or their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors, subcontractors or consultants of any term or condition of this Agreement, or (b) the performance of any services under this Agreement; provided,  however, that Services and its Affiliates shall not be obligated to indemnify, reimburse, defend or hold harmless any Indemnified Party for any Claims incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with, relating to or arising out of (i) a breach by such Indemnified Party of this Agreement, (ii) the gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith or reckless disregard of such Indemnified Party with respect to any services provided under this Agreement or (iii) the fraudulent or dishonest acts of such Indemnified Party.
		

		
			Indemnification Procedures.  
		

			
	
			
				 (a)
			An Indemnified Party agrees that promptly after it becomes aware of facts giving rise to a Claim under this Article 6, it will provide notice thereof to Services pursuant to Section 0 (the “Indemnifying Party”), specifying the nature of and specific basis for such Claim, copies of all correspondence with third parties, Governmental Authorities or other individuals relating to the Claim, and other relevant information reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party;  provided,  however,  that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from liability under Section 0 unless and to the extent the Indemnifying Party did not otherwise learn of such Claim and such failure results in the forfeiture by the  Indemnifying Party of substantial rights and defenses.

			
	
			
				 (b)
			The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to control all aspects of the response to and/or defense of (and any counterclaims with respect to) any claims brought against the Indemnified Party that are covered by the indemnification under this Article 6, including correspondence and negotiation with Governmental Authorities, the selection of counsel and engineering and other consultants, determination of the scope of and approach to any investigation or remediation, determination of whether to appeal any decision of any court, determination of whether to enter into any voluntary agreement with any Governmental Authority, and the settling of any such matter or any issues relating thereto; provided,  however, that no such settlement shall be entered into without the consent of the Indemnified Party unless it includes a full release of the Indemnified Party from such matter or issues, as the case may be. 

			
	
			
				 (c)
			The Indemnified Party agrees to cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party, with respect to all aspects of the defense of any claims covered by the indemnification under this Article 6, including the prompt furnishing to the Indemnifying Party of any correspondence or other notice relating thereto that the Indemnified Party may receive, permitting the name of the Indemnified Party to be utilized in connection with such defense, the making available to the Indemnifying Party of any files, records or other information of the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party considers relevant to such defense and the making available to the Indemnifying Party of any employees of the Indemnified Party; provided,  however, that in connection therewith the Indemnifying Party agrees to use reasonable efforts to minimize the impact thereof on the operations of the Indemnified Party and further agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all files, records, and other information furnished by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 0. In no event shall the obligation of the Indemnified Party to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence be construed as imposing upon the Indemnified Party an obligation to hire and pay for counsel in connection with the defense of any claims covered by the indemnification set forth in this Article 6;  provided, however, that that the Indemnified Party may, at its own option, cost and expense, hire and pay for counsel in connection with any such defense. The Indemnifying Party agrees to keep any such 
		

		 

		

			5

		

 

			counsel hired by the Indemnified Party informed as to the status of any such defense, but the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to retain sole control over such defense.

			
	
			
				 (d)
			In determining the amount of any loss, cost, damage or expense for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the gross amount of the indemnification will be reduced by (i) any insurance proceeds realized by the Indemnified Party, and such correlative insurance benefit shall be net of any incremental insurance premiums that become due and payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of such claim and (ii) all amounts recovered by the Indemnified Party under contractual indemnities from third Persons.

	Re:	Outside Director Position on the Board of Directors of Nimble Storage, Inc. 

 Dear BJ: 

I am very pleased to offer you the position of Director on the NIMBLE STORAGE,
INC. (“Nimble”) Board of Directors (the “Board”) and member of the Audit Committee of the Board (“Audit Committee”). Upon your
acceptance of the terms provided herein, I will recommend to the Board that you be nominated as a Director and member of the Audit Committee, to be appointed promptly following your acceptance of this offer letter. 

In consideration for your service as a Director on the Nimble Board and a member of the Audit Committee, pursuant to the terms
of Nimble’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), you will be granted RSUs (the “Outside Director RSUs”) with value of $600,000 based on the average trading price of Nimble stock on the NYSE
over the 10 trading days prior to the date of grant. Your Outside Director RSUs will commence vesting on one of the dates of March 10, 2015, June 10, 2015, September 10, 2015 or December 10, 2015 that occurs immediately
after your appointment by the Board. The Outside Director RSU will vest equally in 6-month increments over three years from the vesting commencement date, for so long as you continue to serve as a Director for
Nimble. In the event there is a Corporate Transaction (as defined in the Plan), 100% of your then-unvested RSUs will vest immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction. Beginning in 2016, you will be eligible for additional equity awards pursuant
to policies adopted by the Board from time to time for director compensation. All other terms and conditions of the RSUs will be set forth in the Plan and Nimble’s form of notice of RSU award and agreement and other documents relating to the
Plan, as approved by the Board. 
 The Board will meet approximately four (4) times per year. The Audit Committee meets
approximately eight (8) times per year, with generally half of the meetings in person and half via telephone. Of course, there may be additional meetings from time to time depending on business requirements. Throughout your tenure as a
Director, the Company will maintain a Directors’ and Officers’ insurance policy, and you will be covered by this policy by virtue of your position as a member of the Board (as specified within the terms and conditions thereof). 

 

 
 In your capacity as a Director on the Nimble Board, you will be expected not to use or disclose any
confidential information, including, but not limited to, trade secrets of any former employer or other person or entity to whom or which you have an obligation of confidentiality. Rather, you will be expected to use only information that is
generally known and used by persons with training and experience comparable to your own, that is common knowledge in the industry or otherwise legally in the public domain, or that is otherwise provided or developed by Nimble. In accepting this
offer, you are representing to us that you do not know of any conflict that would restrict you from serving as a Director on the Nimble Board. 

In addition, during the term of your services as a Director and after termination of such services, you will not disclose any Nimble
confidential proprietary information, or any information of a third party provided to you by Nimble, which includes but is not limited to, all non-public tangible and intangible manifestations regarding patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade
secrets, technology, inventions, works of authorship, business plans, data or any other confidential knowledge without the prior written consent of Nimble. 

This letter and the stock grant documentation referred to herein, constitutes the entire agreement between you and Nimble. This agreement
supersedes any other agreements or promises made to you by anyone, whether oral or written, and it may only be modified in writing signed by a duly authorized officer of Nimble. 

If the terms of this letter are acceptable to you, please indicate your willingness to serve on Nimble’s Board and its Audit Committee
and to assume the obligations described above by signing and returning this letter below. 
 BJ, I am personally very excited about your
joining our Board! 
  

			
	Very truly yours,
		
	By:		 /s/ Suresh Vasudevan
