 David Wadhwani 
 Dear David, 

This letter sets forth the current terms of your employment with AppDynamics, Inc. (the “Company” or “AppDynamics”) as of December 23,
2016 (the “Effective Date”). 
 Title and Position 

You will continue to serve in the position of President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, reporting to our Board of Directors (the
“Board”). 
 Cash Compensation and Benefits 

Beginning on the Effective Date, you will receive an annual salary of $375,000 (“Base Salary”), which will be paid semi-monthly in accordance with
the Company’s normal payroll procedures. As an executive officer, you will also be eligible to receive all employee benefits to which our senior-most Company executives are entitled, including health insurance and paid vacation time. You should
note that the Company may modify benefits from time to time as it deems necessary however, your benefits shall not be modified unless they are similarly modified for all other executive officers. You should note that the Company may modify job
titles, salaries and benefits from time to time as it deems necessary, subject to the protections described below in this letter but your compensation and benefits will not be modified in a manner that is materially adverse to you unless such
modifications are applied to substantially all other executive officers. 
 In addition to your Base Salary and benefits, you will be eligible to earn an
annual cash bonus, with a target bonus (the “Target Bonus”) equal to 100% of your Base Salary based upon the achievement of mutually agreed upon MBOs established by you and the Board. 

Equity Compensation 
 The Company previously granted to
you restricted stock units under the Company’s 2008 Stock Plan, as amended (the “Plan”) that will continue to be subject to their existing terms and any additional terms set forth in this letter. During the term of your employment
with the Company, you may be eligible to receive additional Company equity awards on such terms and conditions as may be established by the Board or its authorized committee. 

Protections 
 If your employment is terminated by the
Company other than for Cause, (i) the Company will pay you an amount equal to twelve (12) months of your Base Salary in effect immediately prior to the termination of your employment and any bonus amounts earned but not paid through date
of such termination, (ii) the Company will pay your reasonable COBRA health insurance premiums for a period of twelve (12) months immediately following your employment termination date, and (iii) if such termination of employment is
nine months or more after your start date, you will vest in any time-based restricted unit awards that would have vested by the date that is six (6) months following your employment termination date. 

 If a Change in Control of the Company occurs and your employment is terminated by the Company other than for
Cause or you resign in a Constructive Termination within 18 months after or three months before the Change in Control, then, in addition to the cash severance described above, you will be paid an amount equal to 100% of your Target Bonus, and the
vesting of all equity awards described in this letter will be accelerated (except that the portion of any performance-based restricted stock unit that vests only upon an acquisition of a certain dollar threshold will not accelerate in a transaction
less than that size and it instead will be forfeited). 
 All of the protections described in this section are contingent upon and subject to your execution
and the effectiveness of a standard release of claims in favor of the Company (or its successor), in substantially the form attached hereto as Attachment B, with such changes as are reasonably necessary to protect the Company after taking
into account changes in the law between the date hereof and the date that the release is presented to you. 
 Definitions 

“Cause” shall mean: (i) your engaging in illegal or unethical conduct that was or is reasonably likely to be materially injurious to the
business or reputation of the Company or its affiliates; (ii) your violation of a federal or state law or regulation materially applicable to the Company’s business; (iii) your material breach of the terms of any confidentiality
agreement or invention assignment agreement between you and the Company; (iv) your being convicted of, or entering a plea of nolo contendere to, a felony (other than a traffic violation) or committing any act of moral turpitude, dishonesty or
fraud against, or the misappropriation of material property belonging to, the Company or its affiliates; or (v) your repeated failure to substantially perform your duties and responsibilities to the Company (or its successor, if applicable)
after written notification by the Board of such failure and an opportunity to cure such failure within 30 days. 
 “Change in Control” has the
meaning set forth in the Plan. 
 “Constructive Termination” shall mean any of the following, without your express written consent: (i) a
material reduction of your duties, position or responsibilities; provided, however, that a reduction in duties, position or responsibilities solely by virtue of the Company being acquired and made part of a larger entity (as, for example, when the
Chief Executive Officer of the Company remains as such following a Change in Control but is not made the Chief Executive Officer of the acquiring corporation) shall not constitute a “Constructive Termination” if your duties, position and
responsibilities within the AppDynamics business remain materially the same; (ii) a reduction of more than ten percent (10%) of your then-current base salary (other than as part of an across-the-board proportional salary reduction applicable to all executive officers of the Company and approved by the Board); (iii) a material reduction by the Company in the kind or level of employee
benefits to which you are entitled immediately prior to such reduction with the result that your overall benefits package is significantly reduced (unless such reduction constitutes an
across-the-board reduction, applicable to all executive officers of the Company and approved by the Board); (iv) a relocation of the Company’s principal corporate
offices to a location greater than 50 miles from its current location; and (v) the failure of the Company to obtain the assumption of the material obligations of this employment offer letter with the Company by any successors. 

Tax Items 
 The compensation described in letter is
intended to either be exempt from or in compliance with the requirements of the Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and regulations and guidance that has been promulgated or may be promulgated from
time to time thereunder at the time of your termination (“Section 409A”) so that none of the compensation or benefits to be provided hereunder are subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities shall be
interpreted in accordance with this intent. Each payment and benefit payable under this letter is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of 

 
Section 1.409A-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations. With respect to severance payments, references to your “termination of employment” and
similar phrases will be deemed to refer to your “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. If the maximum period during which you can consider and revoke the release of claims described in the “Protections”
section of this letter begins in one calendar year and ends in another calendar year, then any severance payments or benefits under this letter that constitute a deferral of compensation under Section 409A will be paid no earlier than the second
calendar year, subject to any delay under the following sentence. Furthermore, to the extent that you are a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A as of the date of your separation from service, no amount that constitutes
a deferral of compensation under Section 409A that is payable on account of your separation from service shall be paid to you before the date (the “Delayed Payment Date”) which is the first day of the seventh month after the date of your
separation from service or, if earlier, the date of your death following such separation from service. All such amounts that would, but for this paragraph, become payable prior to the Delayed Payment Date will be accumulated and paid on the Delayed
Payment Date. You and the Company agree to work together in good faith to consider amendments to this offer letter and to take such reasonable actions which are necessary, appropriate or desirable to avoid imposition of any additional tax or income
recognition prior to actual payment to you under Section 409A. In no event will the Company reimburse you for any taxes arising under Section 409A. 
 In
the event that the severance and other payments and benefits provided for in this letter or otherwise payable to you (collectively (the “Payments”) (i) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Code Section 280G and
(ii) but for this paragraph, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then such Payments will be either: 

(1)    delivered in full, or 

(2)    delivered as to such lesser extent which would result in no portion of such Payments being subject to the excise tax
under Code Section 4999, 
 whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the excise
tax imposed by Code Section 4999, results in the receipt by you on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of Payments, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such Payments may be taxable under
Code Section 4999. If a reduction in the Payments constituting “parachute payments” is necessary so that no portion of such Payments is subject to the excise tax under Code Section 4999, the reduction will occur in the following
order: (a) reduction of the cash severance payments, which will occur in reverse chronological order such that the cash payment owed on the latest date following the occurrence of the event triggering such excise tax will be the first cash
payment to be reduced; (b) cancellation of accelerated vesting of equity awards which will occur in the reverse order of the date of grant for such stock awards (i.e., the vesting of the most recently granted stock awards will be reduced
first); and (c) reduction of continued employee benefits, which will occur in reverse chronological order such that the benefit owed on the latest date following the occurrence of the event triggering such excise tax will be the first benefit
to be reduced. If two or more equity awards are granted on the same date, each award will be reduced on a pro-rata basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Company submits any Payment to the
Company’s stockholders for approval in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1 Q&A 7, the foregoing provisions will not apply following such submission and such payments and benefits will
be treated in accordance with the results of such vote, except that any reduction in, or waiver of, such payments or benefits required by such vote will be applied without any application of discretion by you and in the order prescribed by this
section. In no event will you have any discretion with respect to the ordering of payment reductions. A nationally recognized professional services firm selected by the Company, the Company’s legal counsel or such other person or entity to
which the parties mutually agree (the “Firm”) will perform the foregoing calculations related to the excise tax. Any good faith determinations of the Firm made hereunder will be final, binding, and conclusive upon the Company and you. 

 Other 
 The
Company looks forward to continuing its beneficial and productive relationship with you. Nevertheless, you should be aware that your employment with the Company is for no specified period and constitutes
at-will employment. As a result, you are free to resign at any time, for any reason or for no reason. Similarly, the Company is free to conclude its employment relationship with you at any time, with or
without cause, and with or without notice. We request that, in the event of resignation, you give the Company at least two weeks’ notice. 
 You agree
that, during the term of your employment with the Company, you will not engage in any other employment, occupation, consulting or other business activity directly related to the business in which the Company is now involved or becomes involved
during the term of your employment, nor will you engage in any other activities that conflict with your obligations to the Company. Similarly, you agree not to bring any third party confidential information to the Company, including that of your
former employer, and that in performing your duties for the Company you will not in any way utilize any such information. 
 As a Company employee, you will
be expected to abide by the Company’s rules and standards. 
 You will be expected to abide by and comply with the
At-Will Employment, Confidential Information, Invention Assignment and Arbitration Agreement (“CIIAA”), that you signed in connection with you joining the Company, the form of which is attached as
Attachment A. In the event of any dispute or claim relating to or arising out of our employment relationship, you and the Company agree that any and all disputes between you and the Company shall be fully and finally resolved by binding
arbitration consistent with the arbitration provisions of your CIIAA. 
 You understand that nothing in this letter will in any way limit or prohibit you
from engaging for a lawful purpose in any Protected Activity. “Protected Activity” means filing a charge or complaint, or otherwise communicating, cooperating, or participating with, any state, federal, or other governmental agency,
including the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and the National Labor Relations Board. Notwithstanding any restrictions set forth in this letter, you understands that you are not required to obtain
authorization from the Company prior to disclosing information to, or communicating with, such agencies, nor are you obligated to advise the Company as to any such disclosures or communications. Notwithstanding, in making any such disclosures or
communications, you agree to take all reasonable precautions to prevent any unauthorized use or disclosure of any information that may constitute Company confidential information under the CIIAA to any parties other than the relevant government
agencies. You further understand that “Protected Activity” does not include the disclosure of any Company attorney-client privileged communications, and that any such disclosure without the Company’s written consent shall constitute a
material breach of this letter. 
 To accept the terms and conditions of this letter, please sign and date this letter in the space provided below. This
letter, along with the CIIAA, set forth the terms of your employment with the Company and supersede any prior representations or agreements including, but not limited to, the original offer letter by and between you and the Company dated
September 13, 2015, and any representations made during your recruitment, interviews or pre-employment negotiations, whether written or oral. This letter, including, but not limited to, its at-will employment provision, may not be modified or amended except by a written agreement signed at least two members of the Board and you. 

 We look forward to your favorable reply and to working with you at AppDynamics, Inc. 

Sincerely,

 ATTACHMENT A 

APPDYNAMICS, INC. 
 AT
WILL EMPLOYMENT, CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, 
 INVENTION ASSIGNMENT, 

AND ARBITRATION AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) 

As a condition of my employment with AppDynamics, Inc., its subsidiaries, affiliates, successors or assigns (together the “Company”), and in
consideration of my employment with the Company and my receipt of the compensation now and hereafter paid to me by Company, I agree to the following: 

1.    At-Will Employment. 

I UNDERSTAND AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT MY EMPLOYMENT WITH THE COMPANY IS FOR AN UNSPECIFIED DURATION AND CONSTITUTES
“AT-WILL” EMPLOYMENT. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS UNAUTHORIZED AND NOT VALID UNLESS IN WRITING AND SIGNED BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE COMPANY. ACCORDINGLY, I ACKNOWLEDGE
THAT MY EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIP MAY BE TERMINATED AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT GOOD CAUSE OR FOR ANY OR NO CAUSE, AT MY OPTION OR AT THE OPTION OF THE COMPANY, WITH OR WITHOUT NOTICE. 

2.    Confidential Information. 

A.    Company Information. I agree at all times during my employment with the Company and thereafter, to hold in
the strictest confidence, and not to use, except for the benefit of the Company, or to disclose to any person, firm or corporation without written authorization of the the Board of Directors of the Company, any Company Confidential Information. I
understand that my unauthorized use or disclosure of Company Confidential Information during my employment will lead to disciplinary action, up to and including immediate termination and legal action by the Company. I understand that “Company
Confidential Information” means any non-public information that relates to the actual or anticipated business, research or development of the Company, or to the Company’s technical data, trade
secrets or know-how, including, but not limited to, research, product plans or other information regarding the Company’s products or services and markets therefor, customer lists and customers (including,
but not limited to, customers of the Company on which I called or with which I may become acquainted during the term of my employment), software, developments, inventions, processes, formulas, technology, designs, drawings, engineering, hardware
configuration information, marketing, finances and other business information; provided, however Company Confidential Information does not include any of the foregoing items to the extent the same have become publicly known and made generally
available through no wrongful act of mine or of others. 
 B.    Former Employer Information. I agree that during
my employment with the Company, I will not improperly use, disclose, or induce the Company to use any proprietary information or trade secrets of any former or concurrent employer or other person or entity. I further agree that I will not bring onto
the premises of the Company or transfer onto the Company’s technology systems any unpublished document, proprietary information or trade secrets belonging to any such employer, person or entity unless consented to in writing by both Company and
such employer, person or entity. 
 C.    Third Party Information. I recognize that the Company may have received
and in the future may receive from third parties associated with the Company, e.g., the Company’s customers, suppliers, licensors, licensees, partners, or collaborators (“Associated Third Parties”) their confidential or proprietary
information (“Associated Third Party Confidential Information”). By way of example, Associated Third Party Confidential 

 
Information may include the habits or practices of Associated Third Parties, the technology of Associated Third Parties, requirements of Associated Third Parties, and information related to the
business conducted between the Company and such Associated Third Parties. I agree at all times during my employment with the Company and thereafter, to hold in the strictest confidence, and not to use or to disclose to any person, firm or
corporation any Associated Third Party Confidential Information, except as necessary in carrying out my work for the Company consistent with the Company’s agreement with such Associated Third Parties. I understand that my unauthorized use or
disclosure of Associated Third Party Confidential Information during my employment will lead to disciplinary action, up to and including immediate termination and legal action by the Company. 

3.    Inventions. 

A.    Inventions Retained and Licensed. I have attached hereto as Exhibit A, a list describing all inventions,
discoveries, original works of authorship, developments, improvements, and trade secrets, which were conceived in whole or in part by me prior to my employment with the Company to which I have any right, title or interest, which are subject to
California Labor Code Section 2870 attached hereto as Exhibit B, and which relate to the Company’s proposed business, products, or research and development (“Prior Inventions”); or, if no such list is attached, I represent and
warrant that there are no such Prior Inventions. Furthermore, I represent and warrant that the inclusion of any Prior Inventions from Exhibit A of this Agreement will not materially affect my ability to perform all obligations under this Agreement.
If, in the course of my employment with the Company, I incorporate into or use in connection with any product, process, service, technology or other work by or on behalf of Company any Prior Invention, I hereby grant to the Company a nonexclusive,
royalty-free, fully paid-up, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide license, with the right to grant and authorize sublicenses, to make, have made, modify, use, import, offer for sale, and sell such Prior Invention
as part of or in connection with such product, process, service, technology or other work and to practice any method related thereto. 

B.    Assignment of Inventions. I agree that I will promptly make full written disclosure to the Company, will hold
in trust for the sole right and benefit of the Company, and hereby assign to the Company, or its designee, all my right, title, and interest in and to any and all inventions, original works of authorship, developments, concepts, improvements,
designs, discoveries, ideas, trademarks or trade secrets, whether or not patentable or registrable under patent, copyright or similar laws, which I may solely or jointly conceive or develop or reduce to practice, or cause to be conceived or
developed or reduced to practice, during the period of time I am in the employ of the Company (including during my off-duty hours), or with the use of Company’s equipment, supplies, facilities, or Company
Confidential Information, except as provided in Section 3.E below (collectively referred to as “Inventions”). I further acknowledge 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 with the Company and which are protectable by copyright are “works made for hire,” as that term is defined in the United States Copyright Act. I understand and agree that the decision whether or
not to commercialize or market any Inventions is within the Company’s sole discretion and for the Company’s sole benefit and that no royalty or other consideration will be due to me as a result of the Company’s efforts to
commercialize or market any such Inventions. 
 C.    Maintenance of Records. I agree to keep and maintain
adequate, current, accurate, and authentic written records of all Inventions made by me (solely or jointly with others) during the term of my employment with the Company. The records will be in the form of notes, sketches, drawings, electronic
files, reports, or any other format that may be specified by the Company. The records are and will be available to and remain the sole property of the Company at all times. 

D.    Patent and Copyright Registrations. I agree to assist the Company, or its designee, at the Company’s
expense, in every proper way to secure the Company’s rights in the Inventions and any rights relating thereto in any and all countries, including the disclosure to the Company of all pertinent information and data with

 
respect thereto, the execution of all applications, specifications, oaths, assignments and all other instruments which the Company shall deem proper or necessary in order to apply for, register,
obtain, maintain, defend, and enforce such rights and in order to assign and convey to the Company, its successors, assigns, and nominees the sole and exclusive rights, title and interest in and to such Inventions and any rights relating thereto,
and testifying in a suit or other proceeding relating to such Inventions and any rights relating thereto. I further agree that my obligation to execute or cause to be executed, when it is in my power to do so, any such instrument or papers shall
continue after the termination of this Agreement. If the Company is unable because of my mental or physical incapacity or for any other reason to secure my signature with respect to any Inventions including, without limitation, to apply for or to
pursue any application for any United States or foreign patents or copyright registrations covering such Inventions, then I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as my agent and attorney in
fact, to act for and in my behalf and stead to execute and file any papers, oaths and to do all other lawfully permitted acts with respect to such Inventions with the same legal force and effect as if executed by me. 

E.    Exception to Assignments. I understand that the provisions of this Agreement requiring assignment of
Inventions to the Company do not apply to any invention which qualifies fully under the provisions of California Labor Code Section 2870 (attached hereto as Exhibit B). I will advise the Company promptly in writing of any inventions that I
believe meet the criteria in California Labor Code Section 2870 and not otherwise disclosed on Exhibit A. 
 4.    Conflicting
Employment. 
 A.    Current Obligations. I agree that during the term of my employment with the Company, I
will not engage in or undertake any other employment, occupation, consulting relationship or commitment that is directly related to the business in which the Company is now involved or becomes involved or has plans to become involved, nor will I
engage in any other activities that conflict with my obligations to the Company. 
 B.    Prior Relationships.
Without limiting Section 4.A, I represent that I have no other agreements, relationships or commitments to any other person or entity that conflict with my obligations to the Company under this Agreement or my ability to become employed and perform
the services for which I am being hired by the Company. I further agree that if I have signed a confidentiality agreement or similar type of agreement with any former employer or other entity, I will comply with the terms of any such agreement to
the extent that its terms are lawful under applicable law. I represent and warrant that after undertaking a careful search (including searches of my computers, cell phones, electronic devices and documents), I have returned all property and
confidential information belonging to all prior employers. Moreover, in the event that the Company or any of its directors, officers, agents, employees, investors, shareholders, administrators, affiliates, divisions, subsidiaries, predecessor or
successor corporations, or assigns is sued based on any obligation or agreement to which I am a party or am bound, I agree to fully indemnify the Company, its directors, officers, agents, employees, investors, shareholders, administrators,
affiliates, divisions, subsidiaries, predecessor and successor corporations, and assigns for all verdicts, judgments, settlements, and other losses incurred by the Company (the indemnitee) in the event that it is the subject of any legal action
resulting from any breach of my obligations under this Agreement, as well as any reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs if the plaintiff is the prevailing party in such an action. 

5.    Returning Company Documents. Upon separation from employment with the Company or on demand by the Company during my
employment, I will immediately deliver to the Company, and will not keep in my possession, recreate or deliver to anyone else, any and all Company property, including, but not limited to, Company Confidential Information, Associated Third Party
Confidential Information, as well as all devices and equipment belonging to the Company (including computers, handheld electronic devices, telephone equipment, and other electronic devices), Company credit cards, records, data, notes, notebooks,
reports, files, proposals, lists, correspondence, specifications, drawings blueprints, sketches, materials, photographs, charts, all documents and 

 
property, and reproductions of any of the aforementioned items that were developed by me pursuant to my employment with the Company, obtained by me in connection with my employment with the
Company, or otherwise belonging to the Company, its successors or assigns, including, without limitation, those records maintained pursuant to Section 3.C. I also consent to an exit interview to confirm my compliance with this Section 5. 

6.    Termination Certification. Upon separation from employment with the Company, I agree to immediately sign and deliver to the
Company the “Termination Certification” attached hereto as Exhibit C. I also agree to keep the Company advised of my home and business address for a period of three (3) years after termination of my employment with the Company, so
that the Company can contact me regarding my continuing obligations provided by this Agreement. 
 7.    Notification of New
Employer. In the event that I leave the employ of the Company, I hereby grant consent to notification by the Company to my new employer about my obligations under this Agreement. 

8.    Solicitation of Employees. I agree that for a period of twelve (12) months immediately following the termination of my
relationship with the Company for any reason, whether voluntary or involuntary, with or without cause, I shall not either directly or indirectly solicit any of the Company’s employees to leave their employment, or attempt to solicit employees
of the Company, either for myself or for any other person or entity. 
 9.    Conflict of Interest Guidelines. I agree to
diligently adhere all to policies of the Company including the Company’s insider’s trading policies and the Conflict of Interest Guidelines attached as Exhibit D hereto, which may be revised from time to time during my employment. 

10.    Representations. I agree to execute any proper oath or verify any proper document required to carry out the terms of this
Agreement. I represent that my performance of all the terms of this Agreement will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence proprietary information acquired by me in confidence or in trust prior to my employment by the Company. I hereby
represent and warrant that I have not entered into, and I will not enter into, any oral or written agreement in conflict herewith. 

11.    Audit. I acknowledge that I have no reasonable expectation of privacy in any computer, technology system, email, handheld
device, telephone, or documents that are used to conduct the business of the Company. As such, the Company has the right to audit and search all such items and systems, without further notice to me, to ensure that the Company is licensed to use the
software on the Company’s devices in compliance with the Company’s software licensing policies, to ensure compliance with the Company’s policies, and for any other business-related purposes in the Company’s sole discretion. I
understand that I am not permitted to add any unlicensed, unauthorized or non-compliant applications to the Company’s technology systems and that I shall refrain from copying unlicensed software onto the
Company’s technology systems or using non-licensed software or web sites. I understand that it is my responsibility to comply with the Company’s policies governing use of the Company’s documents
and the internet, email, telephone and technology systems to which I will have access in connection with my employment. 

12.    Arbitration and Equitable Relief. 

A.    Arbitration. IN CONSIDERATION OF MY EMPLOYMENT WITH THE COMPANY, ITS PROMISE TO ARBITRATE
ALL EMPLOYMENT-RELATED DISPUTES, AND MY RECEIPT OF THE COMPENSATION, PAY RAISES AND OTHER BENEFITS PAID TO ME BY THE COMPANY, AT PRESENT AND IN THE FUTURE, I AGREE THAT ANY AND ALL CONTROVERSIES, CLAIMS, OR DISPUTES WITH ANYONE (INCLUDING THE
COMPANY AND ANY EMPLOYEE, OFFICER, DIRECTOR, SHAREHOLDER OR BENEFIT PLAN OF THE COMPANY IN THEIR CAPACITY AS 

 
SUCH OR OTHERWISE), WHETHER BROUGHT ON AN INDIVIDUAL, GROUP, OR CLASS BASIS, ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO, OR RESULTING FROM MY EMPLOYMENT WITH THE COMPANY OR THE TERMINATION OF MY EMPLOYMENT
WITH THE COMPANY, INCLUDING ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, SHALL BE SUBJECT TO BINDING ARBITRATION UNDER THE ARBITRATION RULES SET FORTH IN CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE SECTION 1280 THROUGH 1294.2, INCLUDING SECTION 1283.05 (THE
“RULES”) AND PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA LAW. DISPUTES WHICH I AGREE TO ARBITRATE, AND THEREBY AGREE TO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, INCLUDE ANY STATUTORY CLAIMS UNDER STATE OR FEDERAL LAW, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, CLAIMS UNDER
TITLE VII OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964, THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT OF 1990, THE AGE DISCRIMINATION IN EMPLOYMENT ACT OF 1967, THE OLDER WORKERS BENEFIT PROTECTION ACT, THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT, THE WORKER ADJUSTMENT AND RETRAINING
NOTIFICATION ACT, THE CALIFORNIA FAIR EMPLOYMENT AND HOUSING ACT, THE FAMILY AND MEDICAL LEAVE ACT, THE CALIFORNIA FAMILY RIGHTS ACT, THE CALIFORNIA LABOR CODE, CLAIMS OF HARASSMENT, DISCRIMINATION AND WRONGFUL TERMINATION AND ANY STATUTORY CLAIMS.
I FURTHER UNDERSTAND THAT THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE ALSO APPLIES TO ANY DISPUTES THAT THE COMPANY MAY HAVE WITH ME. 

B.    Procedure. I AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION WILL BE ADMINISTERED BY THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION
ASSOCIATION (“AAA”) AND THAT THE NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR WILL BE SELECTED IN A MANNER CONSISTENT WITH AAA’S NATIONAL RULES FOR THE RESOLUTION OF EMPLOYMENT DISPUTES. I AGREE THAT THE ARBITRATOR SHALL HAVE THE POWER TO DECIDE ANY
MOTIONS BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY TO THE ARBITRATION, INCLUDING MOTIONS FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT AND/OR ADJUDICATION, MOTIONS TO DISMISS AND DEMURRERS, AND MOTIONS FOR CLASS CERTIFICATION, PRIOR TO ANY ARBITRATION HEARING. I ALSO AGREE THAT THE ARBITRATOR
SHALL HAVE THE POWER TO AWARD ANY REMEDIES AVAILABLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, AND THAT THE ARBITRATOR SHALL AWARD ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COSTS TO THE PREVAILING PARTY EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY LAW. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE COMPANY WILL PAY FOR ANY
ADMINISTRATIVE OR HEARING FEES CHARGED BY THE ARBITRATOR OR AAA EXCEPT THAT I SHALL PAY THE FIRST $125.00 OF ANY FILING FEES ASSOCIATED WITH ANY ARBITRATION I INITIATE. I AGREE THAT THE ARBITRATOR SHALL ADMINISTER AND CONDUCT ANY ARBITRATION IN A
MANNER CONSISTENT WITH THE RULES AND THAT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE AAA’S NATIONAL RULES FOR THE RESOLUTION OF EMPLOYMENT DISPUTES CONFLICT WITH THE RULES, THE RULES SHALL TAKE PRECEDENCE. I AGREE THAT THE DECISION OF THE ARBITRATOR SHALL BE IN
WRITING. I AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONDUCTED IN SAN FRANCISCO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. 

C.    Remedy. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BY THE RULES AND THIS AGREEMENT, ARBITRATION SHALL BE THE SOLE,
EXCLUSIVE AND FINAL REMEDY FOR ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN ME AND THE COMPANY. ACCORDINGLY, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED FOR BY THE RULES AND THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER I NOR THE COMPANY WILL BE PERMITTED TO PURSUE COURT ACTION REGARDING CLAIMS THAT
ARE SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION. NOTWITHSTANDING, THE ARBITRATOR WILL NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO DISREGARD OR REFUSE TO ENFORCE ANY LAWFUL COMPANY POLICY, AND THE ARBITRATOR SHALL NOT ORDER OR REQUIRE THE COMPANY TO ADOPT A POLICY NOT OTHERWISE REQUIRED
BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN THIS PROVISION IS INTENDED TO WAIVE THE PROVISIONAL RELIEF REMEDIES AVAILABLE UNDER THE RULES. 

 D.    Administrative Relief. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS
AGREEMENT DOES NOT PROHIBIT ME FROM PURSUING AN ADMINISTRATIVE CLAIM WITH A LOCAL, STATE OR FEDERAL ADMINISTRATIVE BODY SUCH AS THE DEPARTMENT OF FAIR EMPLOYMENT AND HOUSING, THE EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY COMMISSION OR THE WORKERS’
COMPENSATION BOARD. THIS AGREEMENT DOES, HOWEVER, PRECLUDE ME FROM PURSUING COURT ACTION REGARDING ANY SUCH CLAIM. 

E.    Voluntary Nature of Agreement. I ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT I AM EXECUTING THIS AGREEMENT
VOLUNTARILY AND WITHOUT ANY DURESS OR UNDUE INFLUENCE BY THE COMPANY OR ANYONE ELSE. I FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT I HAVE CAREFULLY READ THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT I HAVE ASKED ANY QUESTIONS NEEDED FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND THE TERMS, CONSEQUENCES
AND BINDING EFFECT OF THIS AGREEMENT AND FULLY UNDERSTAND IT, INCLUDING THAT I AM WAIVING MY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. FINALLY, I AGREE THAT I HAVE BEEN PROVIDED AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEEK THE ADVICE OF AN ATTORNEY OF MY CHOICE BEFORE SIGNING
THIS AGREEMENT. 
 13.    General Provisions. 

A.    Governing Law; Consent to Personal Jurisdiction. This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of
California without giving effect to any choice of law rules or principles that may result in the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than California. To the extent that any lawsuit is permitted under this Agreement, I hereby expressly
consent to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in California for any lawsuit filed against me by the Company. 

B.    Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Exhibits herein, sets forth the entire agreement and
understanding between the Company and me relating to the subject matter herein and supersedes all prior discussions or representations between us including, but not limited to, any representations made during my interview(s) or relocation

Any subsequent change or changes in my duties, salary or compensation will not affect the validity or scope of this Agreement.

expressly stated. 
 E.    Waiver. Waiver by the Company of a breach of any provision of this Agreement will not
operate as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.

parties to this Agreement will survive termination of my employment with the Company. 

 G.    Signatures. This Agreement may be signed in two counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed an original, with the same force and effectiveness as though executed in a single document.

 Exhibit B 

CALIFORNIA LABOR CODE SECTION 2870 

INVENTION ON OWN TIME-EXEMPTION FROM AGREEMENT 

“(a)    Any provision in an employment agreement which provides that an employee shall assign, or offer to assign, any of his or her
rights in an invention to his or her employer shall not apply to an invention that the employee developed entirely on his or her own time without using the employer’s equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information except for those
inventions that either: 
 (1)    Relate at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the invention to the
employer’s business, or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the employer; or 

(2)    Result from any work performed by the employee for the employer. 

(b)    To the extent a provision in an employment agreement purports to require an employee to assign an invention otherwise excluded from

 It is
the policy of AppDynamics, Inc. to conduct its affairs in strict compliance with the letter and spirit of the law and to adhere to the highest principles of business ethics. Accordingly, all officers, employees and independent contractors must avoid

to the President and written approval for continuation must be obtained. 
 1.    Revealing confidential information to outsiders or
misusing confidential information. Unauthorized divulging of information is a violation of this policy whether or not for personal gain and whether or not harm to the Company is intended. (The At Will Employment, Confidential Information, Invention

 2.    Accepting or offering
substantial gifts, excessive entertainment, favors or payments which may be deemed to constitute undue influence or otherwise be improper or embarrassing to the Company. 

3.    Participating in civic or professional organizations that might involve divulging confidential information of the Company. 

4.    Initiating or approving personnel actions affecting reward or punishment of employees or applicants where there is a family
relationship or is or appears to be a personal or social involvement. 
 5.    Initiating or approving any form of personal or social
harassment of employees. 
 6.    Investing or holding outside directorship in suppliers, customers, or competing companies, including
financial speculations, where such investment or directorship might influence in any manner a decision or course of action of the Company. 

7.    Borrowing from or lending to employees, customers or suppliers. 

8.    Acquiring real estate of interest to the Company. 

9.    Improperly using or disclosing to the Company any proprietary information or trade secrets of any former or concurrent employer or
other person or entity with whom obligations of confidentiality exist. 
 10.    Unlawfully discussing prices, costs, customers, sales
or markets with competing companies or their employees. 
 11.    Making any unlawful agreement with distributors with respect to
prices. 
 12.    Improperly using or authorizing the use of any inventions which are the subject of patent claims of any other person
or entity. 
 13.    Engaging in any conduct which is not in the best interest of the Company. 

Each officer, employee and independent contractor must take every necessary action to ensure compliance with these guidelines and to bring problem areas to
the attention of higher management for review. Violations of this conflict of interest policy may result in discharge without warning.

5.    Payment of Salary and Receipt of All Benefits. 

Employee acknowledges that, other than the consideration to be paid under this Separation Agreement, the Company has paid or provided all salary, wages,
bonuses, accrued vacation/paid time off, premiums, leaves, housing allowances, relocation costs, interest, severance, outplacement costs, fees, reimbursable expenses, commissions, stock, stock options, vesting, and any and all other benefits and
compensation due to Employee. 
 6.    Release of Claims. 

A.    Employee agrees that the consideration under Section 1 represents settlement in full of all outstanding
obligations owed to Employee by the Company and its current and former officers, directors, employees, agents, investors, attorneys, shareholders, administrators, affiliates, benefit plans, plan administrators, insurers, trustees, divisions, and
subsidiaries, and predecessor and successor corporations and assigns (collectively, the “Releasees”). 

B.    Employee, on his own behalf and for his respective heirs, family members, executors, agents, and assigns, hereby and
forever releases the Releasees from, and agrees not to sue concerning, or in any manner to institute, prosecute, or pursue, any claim, complaint, charge, duty, obligation, demand, or cause of action relating to any matters of any kind, whether
presently known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, that Employee may possess against any of the Releasees arising from any omissions, acts, facts, or damages that have occurred up until and including the Effective Date of this Separation
Agreement. The release in this Section 6.B is general and not limited by Section 6.C. 
 C.    Employee releases: 

(1)    any and all claims relating to or arising from Employee’s employment relationship with the
Company and the termination of that relationship; 
 (2)    any and all claims relating to, or arising
from, Employee’s right to purchase, or actual purchase of shares of stock of the Company, including, without limitation, any claims for fraud, misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of duty under applicable state corporate law, and
securities fraud under any state or federal law; 
 (3)    any and all claims for wrongful discharge of
employment; termination in violation of public policy; discrimination; harassment; retaliation; breach of contract, both express and implied; breach of covenant of good faith and fair dealing, both express and implied; promissory estoppel; negligent
or intentional infliction of emotional distress; fraud; negligent or intentional misrepresentation; negligent or intentional interference with contract or prospective economic advantage; unfair business practices; defamation; libel; slander;
negligence; personal injury; assault; battery; invasion of privacy; false imprisonment; conversion; and disability benefits; 

(4)    any and all claims for violation of any federal, state, or municipal statute, including, but not
limited to, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; the Civil Rights Act of 1991; the Rehabilitation Act of 1973; the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990; the Equal Pay Act; the Fair Labor Standards Act; the Fair Credit Reporting Act; the Age

 (5)    the California Family Rights Act; the California Labor
Code; the California Workers’ Compensation Act; and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act; 

(6)    any and all claims for violation of the federal or any state constitution; 

(7)    any and all claims arising out of any other laws and regulations relating to employment or
employment discrimination; 
 (8)    any claim for any loss, cost, damage, or expense arising out of any
dispute over the nonwithholding or other tax treatment of the payments received by Employee as a result of this Separation Agreement; and 

(9)    any and all claims for attorneys’ fees and costs. 

(10)    Other than with respect to the excluded items in Section 6D, Employee agrees that the release in
this Section 6 will be and remain in effect in all respects as a complete general release as to the matters released. 

D.    Excluded Items. This release does not release: 

(1)    any obligations incurred under this Separation Agreement; 

(2)    claims that cannot be released as a matter of law, including, but not limited to, Employee’s
right to file a charge with or participate in a charge by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, or any other local, state, or federal administrative body or government agency authorized to enforce or administer laws related to employment,
against the Company (understanding any such filing or participation does not give Employee the right to recover any monetary damages against the Company; Employee’s release of claims bars Employee from recovering such monetary relief from the
Company). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee acknowledges that any and all disputed wage claims that are released by this Separation Agreement be subject to binding arbitration under Section 15, except as required by applicable law.
Employee represents he has made no assignment or transfer of any right, claim, complaint, charge, duty, obligation, demand, cause of action, or other matter waived or released by this Section. 

E.    Waiver of Claims under ADEA. 

(1)    Employee acknowledges he is waiving and releasing any rights he may have under the Age
Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (“ADEA”), and that this waiver and release is knowing and voluntary. Employee agrees this waiver and release does not apply to any rights or claims that may arise under the ADEA after the Effective
Date of this Separation Agreement. Employee acknowledges that the consideration given for this waiver and release is in addition to anything to which Employee was already entitled. 

(2)    Employee further acknowledges he has been advised by this writing that: 

(a)    he should consult with an attorney prior to executing this Separation Agreement; 

(b)    he has twenty-one (21) days from the presentation date
on the first page within which to consider this Separation Agreement; 
 (c)    he has seven
(7) days following his execution of this Separation Agreement to revoke this Separation Agreement; 

(d)    this Separation Agreement shall not be effective until after the revocation period has expired; and

 (e)    nothing in this Separation Agreement prevents or precludes Employee from challenging or seeking
a determination in good faith of the validity of this waiver under the ADEA, nor does it impose any condition precedent, penalties, or costs for doing so, unless specifically authorized by federal law. 

 (f)    that if Employee signs this Separation Agreement and
returns it to the Company in less than the 21-day period identified above, he has freely and voluntarily waived the time allotted for considering this Separation Agreement. 

(g)    that revocation must be accomplished by a written notification to the person executing this
Separation Agreement on the Company’s behalf that is received prior to the Effective Date. 

(h)    that changes, whether material or immaterial, do not restart the running of the 21-day period. 
 F.    California Civil Code Section 1542.
Employee acknowledges he has been advised to consult with legal counsel and is familiar with California Civil Code Section 1542, a statute that otherwise prohibits the release of unknown claims, which provides: 

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING
THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR. 
 Employee, being aware of said code section,
agrees to expressly waive any rights he may have under it and under any other statute or common law principles of similar effect. Employee acknowledges this Section 6.Fis a conspicuous notification of his rights under California Civil Code
Section 1542. 
 7.    No Pending or Future Lawsuits. 

A.    Employee represents he has no lawsuits, claims, or actions pending in his name, or on behalf of any other person or
entity, against the Company or any of the other Releasees. 
 B.    Employee also represents he does not intend to bring
any claims on his own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity against the Company or any of the other Releasees. 

8.    Application for Employment. 

A.    Employee understands and agrees that, as a condition of this Separation Agreement, Employee shall not be entitled to
any employment with the Company, and Employee waives any right, or alleged right, of employment or re-employment with the Company. 

B.    Employee further agrees not to apply for employment with the Company and not otherwise to pursue an independent
contractor or vendor relationship with the Company. 
 9.    Confidentiality. 

A.    Employee agrees to maintain in complete confidence the existence of this Separation Agreement, the contents and
terms of this Separation Agreement, and the consideration for this Separation Agreement (collectively referred to as “Separation Information”). 

B.    Except as required by law, Employee may disclose Separation Information only to his immediate family members, the
Court in any proceedings to enforce this Separation Agreement, Employee’s attorney(s), and Employee’s accountant and any professional tax advisor if they need to know the Separation Information to advise on tax treatment or to prepare tax
returns, and must prevent disclosure of any Separation Information to all other third parties. 
 C.    Employee agrees
he will not publicize, directly or indirectly, any Separation Information. 
 D.    Employee agrees the confidentiality
of the Separation Information is of the essence. The Parties agree that if the Company proves that Employee breached this Confidentiality provision (and such breach does not arise from the Company’s own public disclosure of the
applicable Separation Information), the Company shall be entitled to an award of its costs spent enforcing this provision, including all reasonable attorneys’ fees associated with the enforcement action, without regard to whether the Company
can establish 

 
actual damages from Employee’s breach, except to the extent that such breach constitutes a legal action by Employee that directly pertains to the ADEA. Any such individual breach or
disclosure shall not excuse Employee from his obligations under this Separation Agreement, nor permit him to make additional disclosures. Employee represents he has not disclosed, orally or in writing, directly or indirectly, any of the Separation
Information to any unauthorized party. 
 10.    Obligations. 

A.    Trade Secrets and Confidential Information/Company Property. 

(1)    Employee reaffirms and agrees to observe and abide by the Confidentiality Agreement including its provisions
regarding nondisclosure of the Company’s trade secrets and confidential and proprietary information, and nonsolicitation of Company employees. 

(2)    Employee’s signature below constitutes his certification under penalty of perjury that he has returned all
documents and other items provided to Employee by the Company, developed or obtained by Employee in connection with his employment with the Company, or otherwise belonging to the Company. 

B.    Nondisparagement. Employee agrees to refrain from any disparaging statements about any of the Releasees
including, without limitation, the business, products, intellectual property, financial standing, , or employment/compensation/benefit practices of the Company. The Company agrees to refrain from any disparaging statements about Employee. Employee
understands that the Company’s obligations under this paragraph extend only to the Company’s current executive officers and members of its Board of Directors and only for so long as each officer or member is an employee or Director of the
Company. 
 C.    No Cooperation. 

(1)    Employee agrees he will not knowingly encourage, counsel, or assist any attorneys or their clients
in the presentation or prosecution of any disputes, differences, grievances, claims, charges, or complaints by any third party against any of the Releasees, unless under a subpoena or other court order to do so or as related directly to the ADEA
waiver in this Separation Agreement. 
 (2)    Employee agrees both to immediately notify the Company
upon receipt of any such subpoena or court order, and to furnish, within three (3) business days of its receipt, a copy of such subpoena or other court order. If approached by anyone for counsel or assistance in the presentation or prosecution
of any disputes, differences, grievances, claims, charges, or complaints against any of the Releasees, Employee shall state only that he cannot provide counsel or assistance. 

11.    Protected Activity Not Prohibited. 

Employee understands that nothing in this Agreement shall in any way limit or prohibit Employee from engaging for a lawful purpose in any
Protected Activity. For purposes of this Agreement, “Protected Activity” shall mean filing a charge or complaint, or otherwise communicating, cooperating, or participating with, any state, federal, or other governmental agency, including
the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and the National Labor Relations Board. Notwithstanding any restrictions set forth in this Agreement, Employee understands that he is not required to obtain
authorization from the Company prior to disclosing information to, or communicating with, such agencies, nor is Employee obligated to advise the Company as to any such disclosures or communications. Notwithstanding, in making any such disclosures or
communications, Employee agrees to take all reasonable precautions to prevent any unauthorized use or disclosure of any information that may constitute Company confidential information under the Confidentiality Agreement to any parties other than
the relevant government agencies. Employee further understands that “Protected Activity” does not include the disclosure of any Company attorney-client privileged communications, and that any such disclosure without the Company’s
written consent shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement. 
 12.    Breach. 

A.    In addition to the rights provided in the “Attorneys’ Fees” section below, Employee agrees that any
material breach of this Separation Agreement, unless such breach constitutes a legal action by 

 
Employee challenging or seeking a determination in good faith of the validity of the waivers in this Separation Agreement under the ADEA, or of any provision of the Confidentiality Agreement,
will entitle the Company immediately to cease providing the consideration provided to Employee under this Separation Agreement and to obtain damages, except as required by law. 

B.    Indemnification. Employee agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any and all loss, costs,
damages, or expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees or expenses incurred by the Company arising out of any false representation made in this Separation Agreement by Employee, or from any action or proceeding that may be
commenced, prosecuted, or threatened by Employee or for Employee’s benefit, upon Employee’s initiative, direct or indirect, contrary to this Separation Agreement. Employee further agrees that in any such action or proceeding, this
Separation Agreement may be pled by the Company as a complete defense, or may be asserted by way of counterclaim or cross-claim. 

C.    Nonsolicitation. Employee agrees that for a period of 12 months immediately following the Effective Date of
this Separation Agreement, Employee shall not directly or indirectly solicit any of the Company’s employees to leave their employment at the Company. 

13.    No Admission of Liability. 

D.    Employee understands and acknowledges this Separation Agreement is a compromise and settlement of all actual or
potential disputed claims by Employee. 
 E.    No action taken by the Company hereto, either previously or in
connection with this Separation Agreement, shall be deemed or construed to be (a) an admission of the truth or falsity of any actual or potential claims or (b) an acknowledgment or admission by the Company of any fault or liability
whatsoever to Employee or to any third party. 
 14.    Costs. 

The Parties shall each bear its own costs, attorneys’ fees, and other fees incurred in the negotiation and preparation of this Separation
Agreement. 
 15.    DISPUTE RESOLUTION/ARBITRATION. 

THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF THE TERMS OF THIS SEPARATION AGREEMENT, THEIR INTERPRETATION, AND ANY OF THE
MATTERS HEREIN RELEASED, SHALL BE SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION IN SAN FRANCISCO COUNTY, BEFORE JUDICIAL ARBITRATION & MEDIATION SERVICES (“JAMS”), PURSUANT TO ITS EMPLOYMENT ARBITRATION RULES & PROCEDURES (“JAMS
RULES”). THE ARBITRATOR MAY GRANT INJUNCTIONS AND OTHER RELIEF IN SUCH DISPUTES. THE ARBITRATOR SHALL ADMINISTER AND CONDUCT ANY ARBITRATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH CALIFORNIA LAW, INCLUDING THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE, AND THE ARBITRATOR
SHALL APPLY SUBSTANTIVE AND PROCEDURAL CALIFORNIA LAW TO ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ANY CONFLICT-OF-LAW PROVISIONS OF ANY JURISDICTION. TO THE EXTENT
THAT THE JAMS RULES CONFLICT WITH CALIFORNIA LAW, CALIFORNIA LAW SHALL TAKE PRECEDENCE. THE DECISION OF THE ARBITRATOR SHALL BE FINAL, CONCLUSIVE, AND BINDING ON THE PARTIES TO THE ARBITRATION. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE PREVAILING PARTY IN ANY
ARBITRATION SHALL BE ENTITLED TO INJUNCTIVE RELIEF IN ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO ENFORCE THE ARBITRATION AWARD. THE PARTIES TO THE ARBITRATION SHALL EACH PAY AN EQUAL SHARE OF THE COSTS AND EXPENSES OF SUCH ARBITRATION, AND EACH PARTY
SHALL SEPARATELY PAY FOR ITS RESPECTIVE COUNSEL FEES AND EXPENSES; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE ARBITRATOR SHALL AWARD ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COSTS TO THE PREVAILING PARTY. THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE TO WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN
THEM RESOLVED IN A COURT OF LAW BY A JUDGE OR JURY. 

 
NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THIS SECTION WILL NOT PREVENT EITHER PARTY FROM SEEKING INJUNCTIVE RELIEF (OR ANY OTHER PROVISIONAL REMEDY) FROM ANY COURT HAVING JURISDICTION OVER THE PARTIES AND
THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THEIR DISPUTE RELATING TO THIS SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND THE AGREEMENTS INCORPORATED INTO IT BY REFERENCE. SHOULD ANY PART OF THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT CONTAINED IN THIS PARAGRAPH CONFLICT WITH ANY OTHER ARBITRATION AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE PARTIES, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT SHALL GOVERN.

penalties, interest, assessments, executions, judgments, or recoveries by any government agency against the Company for any amounts claimed due for (i) Employee’s failure to pay or delayed payment of federal or state taxes, or
(ii) damages sustained by the Company by reason of any such claims, including attorneys’ fees and costs. 

D.    All payments made under this Separation Agreement will be subject to any required tax withholding. 

E.    It is intended this Separation Agreement comply with, or be exempt from, Code Section 409A and any official guidance
thereunder (“Section 409A”) and any ambiguities will be interpreted to so comply and/or be exempt from Section 409A. Each payment and benefit to be paid or provided under this Separation Agreement is intended to constitute a series of
separate payments for purposes of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations. The Company and Employee will work together in good faith to consider either (i) amendments to this Separation
Agreement; or (ii) revisions to this Separation Agreement with respect to the payment of any awards, which are necessary or appropriate to avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition prior to the actual payment to Employee
under Section 409A. The Company will not reimburse Employee for any taxes that may be imposed on Employee because of Section 409A. 

17.    Authority. 

A.    The Company represents that the undersigned has the authority to act for the Company and to bind the Company and all
who may claim through it to the terms and conditions of this Separation Agreement. 
 B.    Employee represents he can

against the claims or causes of action released by this Separation Agreement. 
 18.    Miscellaneous 

A.    Entire Agreement. This Separation Agreement represents the entire agreement and understanding between the
Company and Employee concerning the subject matter of this Separation Agreement and Employee’s employment with and separation from the Company and the events leading thereto and associated therewith, and supersedes and replaces any and all
prior agreements and understandings concerning the subject matter of this Separation Agreement and Employee’s relationship with the Company 

 B.    Severability. If any provision or any portion of any provision
of this Separation Agreement or any surviving agreement made a part it becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator to be illegal, unenforceable, or void, this Separation Agreement will continue in full force and effect

Re: Confirmatory Employment Letter 
 Dear Randy: 

This letter agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into between Randy Gottfried (“Employee” or “you”) and
AppDynamics, Inc. (the “Company” or “we”). This Agreement is effective as of the date you sign this letter, as indicated below. The purpose of this letter is to confirm the current terms and conditions of your employment. 

 

	1.	Title; Position. Your position will continue to be the Chief Financial Officer, and you will continue to report to the President and Chief Executive Officer, with responsibilities as defined in the job
description previously provided to you or as otherwise reasonably assigned to you by your supervisor or the Company’s board of directors or its authorized committee (the “Committee”). 

 

	2.	Base Salary. Your current annual base salary is $300,000.00. Your annual base salary will be payable in semi-monthly payments, less applicable withholdings and deductions, and otherwise in accordance with the
Company’s normal payroll practices. Your annual base salary will be subject to review and adjustment based upon the Company’s normal performance review practices. 

 

	3.	Annual Bonus. You are eligible to earn an annual cash bonus, the target value of which is 40% of your base salary and payable annually, based on achieving performance objectives established by the Committee in
its sole discretion and payable upon achievement of those objectives as determined by the Committee. If any portion of such bonus is earned, it will be paid when practicable after the Committee determines it has been earned, subject to you remaining
employed with the Company through the payment date. Your annual bonus opportunity will be subject to review and adjustment based upon the Company’s normal performance review practices. 

 

	4.	Employee Benefits. You also will continue to be eligible to participate in all of the Company benefit plans as available, including group health insurance and paid time off, based on policies in effect during
your employment. The Company reserves the right to cancel or change the benefit plans and programs it offers to its employees at any time. 

  

	5.	 Severance Policy. The Committee has designated you a participant in the Company’s Change in Control
and Severance Policy (the “Policy”), attached as Exhibit A to this letter. As a participant in the Policy, you will be eligible to receive severance payments and benefits upon certain qualifying terminations of your employment as set forth
in Exhibit B to this 

	 	
letter (the “Participation Terms”), subject to the terms and conditions of the Policy. By signing this letter, you agree that this Agreement, the Policy, and the Participation Terms
constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding your rights to severance and/or change in control benefits from the Company and supersede in their entirety all prior representations, understandings, undertakings or agreements
(whether oral or written and whether expressed or implied), and specifically supersede any severance and/or change in control provisions of any offer letter, employment agreement, or equity award agreement entered into between you and the Company.

  

	6.	Confidentiality Agreement; Arbitration. As an employee of the Company, you will continue to have access to certain confidential information of the Company and you may, during the course of your employment,
develop certain information or inventions that will be the property of the Company. To protect the interests of the Company, your acceptance of this letter confirms that the terms of the Company’s At-Will
Employment, Confidential Information, Invention Assignment and Arbitration Agreement you previously signed with the Company (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) still apply. In the event of any dispute or claim relating to or arising out of
our employment relationship, you and the Company agree that any and all disputes between you and the Company shall be fully and finally resolved by binding arbitration consistent with the arbitration provisions of your Confidentiality Agreement.

  

	7.	At-Will Employment. Your employment with the Company will continue to be “at will.” It is for no specified term, and may be terminated by you or the Company at
any time, with or without cause or advance notice. Although the Company may change the terms and conditions of your employment from time-to-time, (including, but not
limited to, changes in your position, compensation, and/or benefits), nothing will change the at-will employment relationship between you and the Company. In addition, the compensation terms described herein
will not affect your at-will employment status. 

  

	8.	Commitment to Company. During your employment with the Company, you will perform your duties faithfully and to the best of your ability and will devote your full business efforts and time to the Company. Except
as specifically approved by the Committee, you agree that, during the term of your employment with the Company, you will not engage in any other employment, occupation, consulting or other business activity related to the business in which the
Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates is now involved or becomes involved during the term of your employment, nor will you engage in any other activities that conflict with your obligations to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates. Similarly, you agree not to bring any third party confidential information to the Company, including that of your former employer, and that in performing your duties for the Company you will not in any way utilize any such information.

  

	9.	 Protected Activity Not Prohibited. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other agreement between you or the
Company, as applicable, will in any way limit or prohibit you from engaging for a lawful purpose in any Protected Activity. For purposes of this Agreement, “Protected Activity” means filing a charge or complaint, or otherwise
communicating, cooperating, or participating with, any state, federal, or other governmental agency, including 

  
 -2- 

	 	
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and the National Labor Relations Board. Notwithstanding any restrictions set forth in this Agreement or
in any other agreement between you or the Company, as applicable, you understand that you are not required to obtain authorization from the Company prior to disclosing information to, or communicating with, such agencies, nor are you obligated to
advise the Company as to any such disclosures or communications. In making any such disclosures or communications, you agree to take all reasonable precautions to prevent any unauthorized use or disclosure of any information that may constitute
Confidential Information (within the meaning of the Confidentiality Agreement) to any parties other than the relevant government agencies. You further understand that “Protected Activity” does not include the disclosure of any Company
attorney-client privileged communications, and that any such disclosure without the Company’s written consent will constitute a material breach of this Agreement. You acknowledge that the Company has provided you with notice in compliance with
the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 regarding immunity from liability for limited disclosures of trade secrets. The full text of the notice is attached in Exhibit C. 

 

	10.	Miscellaneous. This Agreement, along with the Confidentiality Agreement, the Policy, and the Participation Terms, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding the subject matters
discussed herein, and they supersede all prior negotiations, representations or agreements between you and the Company. This Agreement may only be modified by a written agreement signed by you and the Company’s President and Chief Executive
Officer. 

 To accept the letter, please sign in the space indicated and return it to the Company.

 Exhibit A 

Change in Control and Severance Policy 

 APPDYNAMICS, INC. 

CHANGE IN CONTROL AND SEVERANCE POLICY 

(Adopted on November 10, 2016; Effective as of November 10, 2016) 

This Change in Control and Severance Policy (the “Policy”) is designed to provide certain protections to a select group of key
employees of AppDynamics, Inc. (“AppDynamics” or the “Company”) or any of its subsidiaries if their employment is involuntarily terminated under the circumstances described in this Policy. The Policy is designed to
be an “employee welfare benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(1) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”)), and this document is both the formal plan document and the required
summary plan description for the Policy. 
  

	 	1.	Eligible Employee: An individual is only eligible for protection under this Policy if he or she is an Eligible Employee and complies with its terms (including any terms in such Eligible Employee’s
Participation Agreement (as defined below)). An “Eligible Employee” is an employee of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company who has (a) been designated by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the
“Compensation Committee”) as eligible to participate in the Policy, whether individually or by position or category of position and (b) executed a participation agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (a
“Participation Agreement”). 

  

	 	2.	Policy Benefits: An Eligible Employee will be eligible to receive the payments and benefits under this Policy and his or her Participation Agreement upon his or her Qualified Termination (as defined
below). The amount and terms of any Equity Vesting, Salary Severance, Bonus Severance, and COBRA Benefit that an Eligible Employee may receive upon his or her Qualified Termination will be set forth in his or her Participation Agreement. All
benefits under this Policy will be subject to the Eligible Employee’s compliance with the Release Requirement and any timing modifications required to avoid adverse taxation under Section 409A. 

 

	 	3.	 Equity Vesting: On a Qualified Termination, the applicable percentage (set forth in an Eligible
Employee’s Participation Agreement) of the then-unvested shares subject to each of the Eligible Employee’s then-outstanding equity awards will immediately vest and, in the case of options and stock appreciation rights, will become
exercisable (for avoidance of doubt, no more than 100% of the shares subject to the outstanding portion of an equity award may vest and become exercisable pursuant to this provision). In the case of equity awards with performance-based vesting, all
performance goals and other vesting criteria will be deemed achieved at the applicable percentage (set forth in the Eligible Employee’s Participation Agreement) of target levels. Any restricted stock units, performance shares, performance
units, or similar full value awards that vest under this paragraph will be settled on the 61st day following the Eligible Employee’s Qualified Termination. For the avoidance of doubt, if an
Eligible Employee’s Qualified Termination occurs prior to a Change in Control (as defined below), then any unvested portion of the Eligible Employee’s outstanding equity awards will remain outstanding for

	 	
3 months so that any additional benefits due on a Qualified Termination can be provided if a Change in Control occurs within 3 months following the Qualified Termination (provided that in no
event will the terminated Eligible Employee’s stock options or similar equity awards remain outstanding beyond the equity award’s maximum term to expiration). In such case, if no Change in Control occurs within 3 months, any unvested
portion of the Eligible Employee’s equity awards automatically will be forfeited permanently without having vested. 

  

	 	4.	Salary Severance: On a Qualified Termination, an Eligible Employee will be eligible to receive salary severance payment(s) equal to the applicable percentage (set forth in his or her Participation Agreement) of
his or her Base Salary. The Eligible Employee’s salary severance payment(s) will be paid in cash at the time(s) specified in his or her Participation Agreement. 

 

	 	5.	Bonus Severance: On a Qualified Termination, an Eligible Employee will be eligible to receive bonus severance payment(s) with respect to the Eligible Employee’s annual bonus in the amount set forth in his or
her Participation Agreement. The Eligible Employee’s bonus severance payment(s) will be paid in cash at the time(s) specified in his or her Participation Agreement. 

 

	 	6.	 COBRA Benefit: On a Qualified Termination, if an Eligible Employee makes a valid election under COBRA to
continue his or her health coverage, the Company will pay the cost of such continuation coverage for the Eligible Employee and any eligible dependents that were covered under the Company’s health care plans immediately prior to the date of his
or her eligible termination until the earliest of (a) the end of the applicable period set forth in the Eligible Employee’s Participation Agreement, (b) the date upon which the Eligible Employee and/or the Eligible Employee’s
eligible dependents become covered under similar plans or (c) the date upon which the Eligible Employee ceases to be eligible for coverage under COBRA (the “COBRA Coverage”). However, if the Company determines in its sole discretion
that it cannot pay the COBRA Premiums without potentially violating applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), the Company will in lieu thereof provide to the Eligible Employee a taxable
monthly payment in an amount equal to the monthly COBRA premium that the Eligible Employee would be required to pay to continue his or her group health coverage in effect on the date of his or her Qualified Termination (which amount will be based on
the premium for the first month of COBRA coverage) (each, a “COBRA Replacement Payment”), which COBRA Replacement Payments will be made regardless of whether the Eligible Employee elects COBRA continuation coverage and will commence on the
month following the Eligible Employee’s Qualified Termination and will end on the earlier of (x) the date upon which the Eligible Employee obtains other employment or (y) the date the Company has paid an amount totaling the number of
payments equal to the applicable number of months in the COBRA Coverage period set forth in the Eligible Employee’s Participation Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the COBRA Replacement Payments may be used for any purpose, including, but
not limited to continuation coverage under COBRA, and will be subject to all applicable tax withholdings. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary under this Policy or the Eligible 

	 	
Employee’s Participation Agreement, if at any time the Company determines in its sole discretion that it cannot provide the COBRA Coverage or the COBRA Replacement Payments without violating
applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), the Eligible Employee will not receive any further COBRA Coverage or COBRA Replacement Payments. 

 

	 	7.	Death of Eligible Employee: If the Eligible Employee dies before all payments or benefits he or she is entitled to receive under this Policy have been paid, then (i) COBRA Coverage (or COBRA Replacement
Payments) to the Eligible Employee will immediately cease and (ii) any such unpaid Equity Vesting, Salary Severance, or Bonus Severance will be paid to his or her designated beneficiary, if living, or otherwise to his or her personal
representative in a lump-sum payment as soon as possible following his or her death. 

  

	 	8.	Recoupment: If the Company discovers after the Eligible Employee’s receipt of payments or benefits under this Policy that grounds for the termination of the Eligible Employee’s employment for Cause
existed, then the Eligible Employee will not receive any further payments or benefits under this Policy and, to the extent permitted under applicable laws, will be required to repay to the Company any payments or benefits he or she received under
the Policy (or any financial gain derived from such payments or benefits). 

  

	 	9.	Release: The Eligible Employee’s receipt of any severance payments or benefits upon his or Qualified Termination under this Policy is subject to the Eligible Employee signing and not revoking the
Company’s then-standard separation agreement and release of claims (which may include an agreement not to disparage the Company, non-solicit provisions, and other standard terms and conditions) (the
“Release” and such requirement, the “Release Requirement”), which must become effective and irrevocable no later than the 60th day following the Eligible Employee’s Qualified Termination (the “Release Deadline”).
If the Release does not become effective and irrevocable by the Release Deadline, the Eligible Employee will forfeit any right to severance payments or benefits under this Policy. In no event will severance payments or benefits under the Policy be
paid or provided until the Release actually becomes effective and irrevocable. Notwithstanding any other payment schedule set forth in this Policy or the Eligible Employee’s Participation Agreement, none of the severance payments and benefits
payable upon such Eligible Employee’s Qualified Termination under this Policy will be paid or otherwise provided prior to the 60th day following the Eligible Employee’s Qualified Termination. Except as otherwise set forth in an Eligible
Employee’s Participation Agreement or to the extent that payments are delayed under the paragraph below entitled “Section 409A,” on the first regular payroll pay day following the 60th day following the Eligible Employee’s
Qualified Termination, the Company will pay or provide the Eligible Employee the severance payments and benefits that the Eligible Employee would otherwise have received under this Policy on or prior to such date, with the balance of such severance
payments and benefits being paid or provided as originally scheduled. 

	 	10.	Section 409A: The Company intends that all payments and benefits provided under this Policy or otherwise are exempt from, or comply with, the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and any guidance promulgated
thereunder (collectively, “Section 409A”) so that none of the payments or benefits will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted in accordance with this intent. No payment
or benefits to be paid to an Eligible Employee, if any, under this Policy or otherwise, when considered together with any other severance payments or separation benefits that are considered deferred compensation under Section 409A (together, the
“Deferred Payments”) will be paid or otherwise provided until such Eligible Employee has a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. If, at the time of the Eligible Employee’s termination of employment,
the Eligible Employee is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A, then the payment of the Deferred Payments will be delayed to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of the additional tax imposed under Section 409A,
which generally means that the Eligible Employee will receive payment on the first payroll date that occurs on or after the date that is 6 months and 1 day following his or her termination of employment. The Company reserves the right to amend the
Policy as it deems necessary or advisable, in its sole discretion and without the consent of any Eligible Employee or any other individual, to comply with any provision required to avoid the imposition of the additional tax imposed under Section
409A or to otherwise avoid income recognition under Section 409A prior to the actual payment of any benefits or imposition of any additional tax. Each payment, installment, and benefit payable under this Policy is a separate payment for purposes of
U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2). In no event will the Company reimburse any Eligible Employee for any taxes that may be imposed on him or her as a result of Section 409A. 

 

	 	11.	Parachute Payments: 

  

	 	a.	 Reduction of Severance Benefits. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, if any payment
or benefit that an Eligible Employee would receive from the Company or any other party whether in connection with the provisions herein or otherwise (the “Payment”) would (a) constitute a “parachute payment” within the
meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and (b) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then such
Payment will be equal to the Best Results Amount. The “Best Results Amount” will be either (x) the full amount of such Payment or (y) such lesser amount as would result in no portion of the Payment being subject to the Excise
Tax, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes and the Excise Tax, results in the Eligible Employee’s receipt, on an
after-tax basis, of the greater amount notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax. If a reduction in payments or benefits constituting parachute payments is
necessary so that the Payment equals the Best Results Amount, reduction will occur in the following order: reduction of cash payments; cancellation of accelerated vesting of stock awards; and reduction of employee benefits. In the event that

	 	
acceleration of vesting of stock award compensation is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting will be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant of the Eligible Employee’s
equity awards. 

  

	 	b.	Determination of Excise Tax Liability. The Company will select a professional services firm to make all of the determinations required to be made under these paragraphs relating to parachute payments. The
Company will request that firm provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and the Eligible Employee prior to the date on which the event that triggers the Payment occurs if administratively feasible, or subsequent to such date if
events occur that result in parachute payments to the Eligible Employee at that time. For purposes of making the calculations required under these paragraphs relating to parachute payments, the firm may make reasonable assumptions and approximations
concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith determinations concerning the application of the Code. The Company and the Eligible Employee will furnish to the firm such information and documents as the firm may reasonably
request in order to make a determination under these paragraphs relating to parachute payments. The Company will bear all costs the firm may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by these paragraphs relating to parachute
payments. Any such determination by the firm will be binding upon the Company and the Eligible Employee, and the Company will have no liability to the Eligible Employee for the determinations of the firm. 

 

	 	12.	Administration: The Policy will be administered by the Compensation Committee or its delegate (in each case, an “Administrator”). The Administrator will have full discretion to administer and
interpret the Policy. Any decision made or other action taken by the Administrator with respect to the Policy and any interpretation by the Administrator of any term or condition of the Policy, or any related document, will be conclusive and binding
on all persons and be given the maximum possible deference allowed by law. The Administrator is the “plan administrator” of the Policy for purposes of ERISA and will be subject to the fiduciary standards of ERISA when acting in such
capacity. 

  

	 	13.	Attorneys Fees: The Company and each Eligible Employee will bear their own attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with any disputes between them. 

 

	 	14.	Exclusive Benefits: Except as may be set forth in an Eligible Employee’s Participation Agreement, this Policy is intended to be the only agreement between the Eligible Employee and the Company regarding any
change in control or severance payments or benefits to be paid to the Eligible Employee on account of a termination of employment whether unrelated to, concurrent with, or following, a Change in Control. Accordingly, by executing a Participation
Agreement, an Eligible Employee hereby forfeits and waives any rights to any severance or change in control benefits set forth in any employment agreement, offer letter, and/or equity award agreement, except as set forth in this Policy and in the
Eligible Employee’s Participation Agreement. 

	 	15.	Tax Obligations: All payments and benefits under this Policy will be paid less applicable withholding taxes. The Company is authorized to withhold from any payments or benefits all federal, state, local and/or
foreign taxes required to be withheld therefrom and any other required payroll deductions. The Company will not pay any Eligible Employee’s taxes arising from or relating to any payments or benefits under this Policy. The Eligible Employee will
be solely responsible for the payment of all personal tax liability that is incurred as a result of the payments and benefits received under this Policy, and the Eligible Employee will not be reimbursed by the Company for any such payments.

  

	 	16.	Term: Subject to the terms of this paragraph, this Policy will have an initial term of 3 years commencing on the Effective Date (the “Initial Term”). On the
3-year anniversary of the Effective Date and each one-year anniversary thereafter, this Policy automatically will renew for additional, one (1) year terms (each, an
“Additional Term” and together with the Initial Term, the “Term”) unless the Board or the Compensation Committee, as applicable, decides to terminate this Policy in accordance with the terms of this Policy or the
affected Eligible Employee consents to such termination. Any termination of this Policy by the Board or the Compensation Committee, as applicable, must be in writing and will be taken in a non-fiduciary
capacity. Neither the lapse of this Policy by its terms nor the termination of this Policy by the Company will by itself constitute termination of employment or grounds for a Constructive Termination (as defined below). Further, if a Change in
Control occurs when there are fewer than 6 months remaining during the Term, the Term will extend automatically through the date that is 18 months following the date of the Change in Control (unless the affected Eligible Employee consents to an
earlier termination). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if during the Term, an initial occurrence of an act or omission by the company constituting the grounds for “Constructive Termination” in accordance with the definition herein has
occurred (the “Initial Grounds”), and the expiration date of the Cure Period (as such defined herein) with respect to such Initial Grounds could occur following the expiration of the Term, the Term will extend automatically through
the date that is 30 days following the expiration of the Cure Period, but such extension of the Term will only apply with respect to the Initial Grounds. 

  

	 	17.	Amendment: The Board or the Compensation Committee may amend the Policy at any time, without advance notice to any Eligible Employee or other individual and without regard to the effect of the amendment on any
Eligible Employee or on any other individual. Notwithstanding the preceding, (a) any amendment to the Policy that causes an individual to cease to be an Eligible Employee will not be effective with respect to any Qualified Termination unless it
is both approved by the Administrator and communicated to the affected Eligible Employee(s) in writing at least 6 months prior to the effective date of the amendment, and (b) no amendment of the Policy will be made within 18 months following a
Change in Control if such amendment or reduction would reduce the benefits provided hereunder or impair an Eligible Employee’s eligibility under the Policy (unless the affected Eligible Employee consents to such amendment). Any action to amend
the Policy will be taken in a non-fiduciary capacity. 

	 	18.	Claims Procedure: Any Eligible Employee who believes he or she is entitled to any payment under the Policy may submit a claim in writing to the Administrator. If the claim is denied (in full or in part), the
claimant will be provided a written notice explaining the specific reasons for the denial and referring to the provisions of the Policy on which the denial is based. The notice will also describe any additional information needed to support the
claim and the Policy’s procedures for appealing the denial. The denial notice will be provided within 90 days after the claim is received. If special circumstances require an extension of time (up to 90 days), written notice of the extension
will be given within the initial 90-day period. This notice of extension will indicate the special circumstances requiring the extension of time and the date by which the Administrator expects to render its
decision on the claim. 

  

	 	19.	Appeal Procedure: If the claimant’s claim is denied, the claimant (or his or her authorized representative) may apply in writing to the Administrator for a review of the decision denying the claim. Review
must be requested within 60 days following the date the claimant received the written notice of their claim denial or else the claimant loses the right to review. The claimant (or representative) then has the right to review and obtain copies of all
documents and other information relevant to the claim, upon request and at no charge, and to submit issues and comments in writing. The Administrator will provide written notice of the decision on review within 60 days after it receives a review
request. If additional time (up to 60 days) is needed to review the request, the claimant (or representative) will be given written notice of the reason for the delay. This notice of extension will indicate the special circumstances requiring the
extension of time and the date by which the Administrator expects to render its decision. If the claim is denied (in full or in part), the claimant will be provided a written notice explaining the specific reasons for the denial and referring to the
provisions of the Policy on which the denial is based. The notice will also include a statement that the claimant will be provided, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents and other information relevant to
the claim and a statement regarding the claimant’s right to bring an action under Section 502(a) of ERISA. 

  

	 	20.	Successors: Any successor to the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s business and/or assets (whether direct or indirect and whether by purchase, merger, consolidation, liquidation or other
transaction) will assume the obligations under the Policy and agree expressly to perform the obligations under the Policy 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 the Policy, the term “Company” will include any successor to the Company’s business and/or assets which becomes bound by the terms of the Policy by operation of law, or otherwise. 

 

	 	21.	Applicable Law: The provisions of the Policy will be construed, administered, and enforced in accordance with ERISA and, to the extent applicable, the internal substantive laws of the state of California (but not
its conflict of laws provisions). 

	 	22.	Definitions: Unless otherwise defined in an Eligible Employee’s Participation Agreement, the following terms will have the following meanings for purposes of this Policy and the Eligible Employee’s
Participation Agreement: 

  

	 	a.	“Base Salary” means the Eligible Employee’s annual base salary as in effect immediately prior to his or her Qualified Termination (or if the termination is due to a resignation in a Constructive
Termination based on a material reduction in base salary, then the Eligible Employee’s annual base salary in effect immediately prior to such reduction) or, if the Eligible Employee’s Qualified Termination occurring following the Change in
Control and such amount is greater, at the level in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control. 

  

	 	b.	“Board” means the Board of Directors of the Company. 

  

	 	c.	“Cause” means, with respect to an Eligible Employee, the occurrence of any of the following: (a) the Eligible Employee’s engaging in illegal or unethical conduct that was or is reasonably
likely to be materially injurious to the business or reputation of the Company or its subsidiaries; (b) the Eligible Employee’s violation of a federal or state law or regulation materially applicable to the Company’s business;
(c) the Eligible Employee’s material breach of the terms of any confidentiality agreement or invention assignment agreement between the Eligible Employee and the Company; (d) the Eligible Employee’s being convicted of, or
entering a plea of nolo contendere to, a felony (other than a traffic violation) or committing any act of moral turpitude, dishonesty or fraud against, or the misappropriation of material property belonging to, the Company or its
subsidiaries; or (e) the Eligible Employee’s repeated failure to substantially perform his or her duties and responsibilities to the Company (or its successor, if applicable) after written notification by the Board of such failure and an
opportunity to cure such failure within 30 days. 

  

	 	d.	“Change in Control” means the occurrence of any of the following events: 

  

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

	 	
Change in Control under this clause (a). For this purpose, indirect beneficial ownership shall include, without limitation, an interest resulting from ownership of the voting securities of one or
more corporations or other business entities which own the Company, as the case may be, either directly or through one or more subsidiary corporations or other business entities; or 

 

	 	(b)	Change in Effective Control of the Company. If the Company has a class of securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act, a change in the effective control of the Company which
occurs on the date that a majority of members of the Board is replaced during any 12-month period by Board members whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Board prior
to the date of the appointment or election. For purposes of this clause (b), if any Person is considered to be in effective control of the Company, the acquisition of additional control of the Company by the same Person will not be considered a
Change in Control; or 

  

	 	(c)	Change in Ownership of a Substantial Portion of the Company’s Assets. A change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets which occurs on the date that any
Person acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) assets from the Company that have a total gross fair market value equal
to or more than 50% of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Company immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions. For purposes of this subsection (c), gross fair market value means the value of the assets of the
Company, or the value of the assets being disposed of, determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets. For this definition, persons will be acting as a group if they are owners of a corporation that enters into a merger,
consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar business transaction with the Company. Notwithstanding anything in this clause (c) to the contrary, the following will not constitute a change in the ownership of a substantial portion
of the Company’s assets: (1) a transfer to an entity controlled by the Company’s stockholders immediately after the transfer, or (2) a transfer of assets by the Company to: (A) a stockholder of the Company (immediately
before the asset transfer) in exchange for or with respect to the Company’s stock, (B) an entity, 50% or more of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company, (C) a Person, that
owns, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the total value or voting power of all the outstanding stock of the Company, or (D) an entity, at least 50% of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by
a Person described in clauses (a) or (c) of this definition. 

 (a) For purposes of this definition, persons will be considered to be
acting as a group if they are owners of a corporation that enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar business transaction with the Company. 

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed a Change in Control unless the transaction
qualifies as a change in control event within the meaning of Section 409A. 
 (c) Further and for the avoidance of
doubt, a transaction will not constitute a Change in Control if: (i) its sole purpose is to change the state of the Company’s incorporation, or (ii) its sole purpose is to create a holding company that will be owned in substantially
the same proportions by the persons who held the Company’s securities immediately before such transaction. 
  

	 	e.	“Change in Control Period” will mean the period beginning 3 months prior to and ending 18 months following a Change in Control. 

 

	 	f.	“COBRA” means the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended. 

  

	 	g.	“Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 

  

	 	h.	 “Constructive Termination” means the Eligible Employee’s resignation in accordance with the
next sentence after the occurrence of one or more of the following events without the Eligible Employee’s express written consent: (a) a material reduction of the Eligible Employee’s duties, position or responsibilities; provided,
however, that a reduction in duties, position or responsibilities solely by virtue of the Company being acquired and made part of a larger entity (as, for example, when the Chief Executive Officer of the Company remains as such following a Change in
Control but is not made the Chief Executive Officer of the acquiring corporation) will not constitute a “Constructive Termination” if the Eligible Employee’s duties, position and responsibilities within the AppDynamics business remain
materially the same; (b) a material reduction of more than 10% of the Eligible Employee’s then-current Base Salary (other than as part of an across-the-board
proportional salary reduction applicable to all officers of the Company and approved by the Board or the Compensation Committee); (c) a relocation of the Company’s principal corporate offices to a location greater than 35 miles from its current
location; and (d) the failure of the Company to obtain the assumption of the material obligations of the Eligible Employee’s employment offer letter (or employment agreement) with the Company by any successors. In order for the Eligible
Employee’s resignation to be a Constructive Termination, the Eligible Employee must not resign without first providing the Company with written notice of the acts or omissions constituting the grounds for a “Constructive Termination”
within 60 days of the initial existence of the grounds for a “Constructive Termination” and a cure period of 30 days following the date of 

	 	
written notice (the “Cure Period”), such grounds must not have been cured during such time, and the Eligible Employee must terminate his or her employment within 30 days following
the Cure Period. 

  

	 	i.	“Disability” means the total and permanent disability as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code unless the Company maintains a long-term disability plan at the time of the Eligible Employee’s
termination, in which case, the determination of disability under such plan also will be considered “Disability” for purposes of this Policy. 

  

	 	j.	“Exchange Act” means the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 

  

	 	k.	“Qualified Termination” has the meaning set forth in the Eligible Employee’s Participation Agreement.

	 	24.	Statement of ERISA Rights: 

 Eligible Employees have certain rights and protections under
ERISA: 
 They may examine (without charge) all Policy documents, including any amendments and copies of all documents filed with the U.S.
Department of Labor, such as the Policy’s annual report (Internal Revenue Service Form 5500). These documents are available for review in the Company’s Human Resources Department. 

They may obtain copies of all Policy documents and other Policy information upon written request to the Plan Administrator. A reasonable charge
may be made for such copies. 
 In addition to creating rights for Eligible Employees, ERISA imposes duties upon the people who are
responsible for the operation of the Policy. The people who operate the Policy (called “fiduciaries”) have a duty to do so prudently and in the interests of Eligible Employees. No one, including the Company or any other person, may fire or
otherwise discriminate against an Eligible Employee in any way to prevent them from obtaining a benefit under the Policy or exercising rights under ERISA. If an Eligible Employee’s claim for a severance benefit is denied, in whole or in part,
they must receive a written explanation of the reason for the denial. An Eligible Employee has the right to have the denial of their claim reviewed. (The claim review procedure is explained above.) 

Under ERISA, there are steps Eligible Employees can take to enforce the above rights. For instance, if an Eligible Employee requests materials
and does not receive them within 30 days, they may file suit in a federal court. In such a case, the court may require the Administrator to provide the materials and to pay the Eligible Employee up to $110 a day until they receive the
materials, unless the materials were not sent because of reasons beyond the control of the Plan Administrator. If an Eligible Employee has a claim which is denied or ignored, in whole or in part, he or she may file suit in a state or federal court.
If it should happen that an Eligible Employee is discriminated against for asserting their rights, he or she may seek assistance from the U.S. Department of Labor, or may file suit in a federal court. 

In any case, the court will decide who will pay court costs and legal fees. If the Eligible Employee is successful, the court may order the
person sued to pay these costs and fees. If the Eligible Employee loses, the court may order the Eligible Employee to pay these costs and fees, for example, if it finds that the claim is frivolous. 

If an Eligible Employee has any questions regarding the Policy, please contact the Plan Administrator. If an Eligible Employee has any
questions about this statement or about their rights under ERISA, they may contact the nearest area office of the Employee Benefits Security Administration (formerly the Pension and Welfare Benefits Administration), U.S. Department of Labor, listed
in the telephone directory, or the Division of Technical Assistance and Inquiries, Employee Benefits Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, 

 
D.C. 20210. An Eligible Employee may also obtain certain publications about their rights and responsibilities under ERISA by calling the publications hotline of the Employee Benefits Security
Administration. 

 Exhibit B 

Participation Agreement for Change in Control and Severance Policy 

 Change in Control and Severance Policy 

Participation Agreement 

This Participation Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into by and between Randy Gottfried on the one hand, and
AppDynamics, Inc. (the “Company”) on the other. 
 You have been designated as eligible to participate in the Policy, a
copy of which is attached hereto, pursuant to which you are eligible to receive the following severance payments and benefits upon a Qualified Termination, subject to the terms and conditions of the Policy. 

Qualified Termination means either (i) a termination of your employment by the Company (or any of its subsidiaries) other than for
Cause, death, or Disability or by you due to a Constructive Termination, in either case, during the Change in Control Period (a “CIC Qualified Termination”) or (ii) a termination of your employment by the Company (or any of its
subsidiaries) other than for Cause, death, or Disability outside the Change in Control Period (a “Non-COC Qualified Termination”). 

Non-CIC Qualified Termination 
  

	 	•	 	Equity Vesting: None. 

  

	 	•	 	Salary Severance: Your percentage of Base Salary will be 100%, payable in a lump-sum. 

 

	 	•	 	Bonus Severance: None. 

  

	 	•	 	COBRA Coverage: The Company will pay for your COBRA continuation coverage (or COBRA Replacement Payments, as applicable) for up to 12 months. 

CIC Qualified Termination 
  

	 	•	 	Equity Vesting: Your equity vesting benefit will be 100%. 

  

	 	•	 	Salary Severance: Your percentage of Base Salary will be 100%, payable in a lump-sum on the 61st day following your
Qualified Termination. 

  

	 	•	 	Bonus Severance: You will receive (i) a lump-sum payment equal to a pro-rata portion (based on the number of full months you
have worked during applicable performance period divided by the total number of months in such performance period) of any earned annual bonus for the fiscal year in which your Qualified Termination occurs, which will be payable at the same time
other similarly situated employees of the Company receive bonus payments for the fiscal year but in no event later than 15th day of the third month following the end of the Company’s fiscal
year following your Qualified Termination, and (ii) a lump-sum payment equal to 100% of your target annual bonus as in effect for the fiscal year in which your Qualified Termination occur payable on the
61st day following your Qualified Termination. 

  

	 	•	 	COBRA Coverage: The Company will pay for your COBRA continuation coverage (or COBRA Replacement Payments, as applicable) for up to 12 months. 

 Non-Duplication of Payment or Benefits 

If (i) an Eligible Employee’s Qualified Termination occurs prior to a Change in Control that qualifies him or her for severance
payments and benefits payable on a Non-CIC Qualified Termination under this Policy and the Agreement and (ii) a Change in Control occurs within the 3-month
period following the Eligible Employee’s Qualified Termination that qualifies him or her for the severance payments and benefits payable on a CIC Qualified Termination under this Policy, then (i) the Eligible Employee will cease receiving
any further payments or benefits under this Policy in connection with his or her Non-CIC Qualified Termination and (ii) the Equity Vesting, Salary Severance and COBRA Coverage (or COBRA Replacement
Payments), as applicable, otherwise payable on a CIC Qualified Termination under this Agreement each will be offset by the corresponding payments or benefits already paid under this Participation Agreement upon a
Non-CIC Qualified Termination. 
 Other Provisions 

Except as set forth in this paragraph, you agree that the Policy and the Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto and
supersede in their entirety all prior representations, understandings, undertakings or agreements (whether oral or written and whether expressed or implied) of the parties, and will specifically supersede any severance and/or change in control
provisions of any offer letter, employment agreement, or equity award agreement entered into between you and the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any provision in your existing offer letter and/or equity award agreement with the Company that
provides for vesting of your restricted stock units or the shares subject to your option, as applicable, upon a “change in control” (as defined in the applicable letter or agreement) or upon certain qualifying terminations of employment
occurring prior to a “change in control” or the first date that you would be permitted to sell the Company’s securities following an initial public offering of the Company’s stock will not be superseded by the Policy or this
Agreement, and will continue in full force and effect pursuant to its existing terms. For the avoidance of doubt, any vesting acceleration in your existing offer letter and/or equity award agreement with the Company occurring upon certain qualifying
terminations of employment occurring in connection with or following a “change in control” (or similar term as defined in the applicable letter or agreement) will be superseded by the Policy and this Agreement. 

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

 By its signature below, each of the parties signifies its acceptance of the terms of this
Agreement, in the case of the Company by its duly authorized officer effective as of the last date set forth below.
