Form of Indemnification Agreement

 Exhibit 10.6 
 TABLEAU SOFTWARE, INC. 
 INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT 

THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
(“Agreement”) is effective as of                          , 2013, by and between
TABLEAU SOFTWARE, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and                 
(“Indemnitee”). 
 A. The Company desires to attract and retain the services of highly
qualified individuals, such as Indemnitee, to serve the Company and its related entities. 
 B. In order to
induce Indemnitee to continue to provide services to the Company, the Company wishes to provide for the indemnification of, and the advancement of expenses to, Indemnitee to the maximum extent permitted by law. 

C. The Company and Indemnitee recognize the continued difficulty in obtaining liability insurance for the Company’s
directors, officers, employees, agents and fiduciaries, the significant increases in the cost of such insurance and the general reductions in the coverage of such insurance. 

D. Indemnitee does not regard the protection available under the Company’s Bylaws and insurance as adequate in the
present circumstances, and may not be willing to serve as an officer or director without adequate protection, and the Company desires Indemnitee to serve in such capacity. 

E. The Company and Indemnitee further recognize the substantial increase in corporate litigation in general, subjecting
directors, officers, employees, agents and fiduciaries to expensive litigation risks at the same time as the availability and coverage of liability insurance has been severely limited. 

F. In view of the considerations set forth above, the Company desires that Indemnitee shall be indemnified and advanced
expenses by the Company as set forth in this Agreement. 
 G. Indemnitee may have certain rights to
indemnification and/or insurance provided by one or more other entities and/or organizations, which Indemnitee and the Company intend to be secondary to the primary obligation of the Company to indemnify Indemnitee as provided herein, with the
Company’s acknowledgement and agreement to the foregoing being a material condition to Indemnitee’s willingness to serve on the Board of Directors of the Company. 
 The parties agree as follows: 
 1. DEFINITIONS.

 (a) “Change in Control” means, and will be deemed to have occurred if, on
or after the date of this Agreement, (i) any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), other than a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an
employee benefit plan of the Company acting in such capacity or a corporation owned directly or indirectly by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company, becomes the
“beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under said Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing more than 50% of the total voting power represented by the Company’s then outstanding Voting
Securities (as defined below), (ii) during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board of Directors of the Company and any new director whose election by the Board of Directors or
nomination 

 
for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the period or
whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute a majority thereof, or (iii) the stockholders of the Company approve a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation
other than a merger or consolidation that would result in the Voting Securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into Voting Securities of the
surviving entity) at least 80% of the total voting power represented by the Voting Securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, or the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of
complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) all or substantially all of the Company’s assets. 

(b) “Claim” means, with respect to a Covered Event (as defined below), any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit, proceeding or alternative dispute resolution mechanism, or any hearing, inquiry or investigation that Indemnitee in good faith believes might lead to the institution of any such action, suit, proceeding or
alternative dispute resolution mechanism, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other and whether brought in the right of or by the Company or otherwise. 

(c) References to the “Company” include, in addition to Tableau Software, Inc., any
constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger to which Tableau Software, Inc. (or any of its wholly owned subsidiaries) is a party, that, if its separate existence had continued, would
have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, employees, agents or fiduciaries, so that if Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the
request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, employee benefit plan, trust or other enterprise, Indemnitee will stand in the same position under the
provisions of this Agreement with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as Indemnitee would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. 

(d) “Covered Event” means any event or occurrence (i) related to the fact that
Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the Company, or any subsidiary of the Company or (ii) related to the fact that Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer,

alternative dispute resolution mechanism, hearing, inquiry or investigation), judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement (if such settlement is approved in advance by the Company, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld),
actually and reasonably incurred, of any Claim and any federal, state, local or foreign taxes imposed on the Indemnitee as a result of the actual or deemed receipt of any payments under this Agreement. 

(f) “Expense Advance” means a payment to Indemnitee pursuant to Section 3 of Expenses

accordance with the provisions of Section 2(d) hereof, who will not have otherwise performed services for the Company or Indemnitee within the last three years (other than with respect to matters concerning the rights of Indemnitee under this
Agreement, or of other indemnitees under similar indemnity agreements). 

  
 2 

 (h) References to “other enterprises” include
employee benefit plans; references to “fines” include any excise taxes assessed on Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the Company” include
any service as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the Company, which role imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants
or its beneficiaries; and if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan, Indemnitee will be deemed to have acted in a manner
“not opposed to the best interests of the Company” as referred to in this Agreement.

question (“Disinterested Directors”), even if less than a quorum, (ii) a committee of Disinterested Directors designated by a vote of the majority of the Disinterested Directors, even if less than a quorum, (iii), by
Independent Legal Counsel, if there are no such Disinterested Directors, or if such Disinterested Directors so direct or (iv) by the stockholders. 
 (j) “Section” refers to a section of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. 
 (k) “Voting Securities” means any securities of the Company that vote generally in the election of directors. 

2. INDEMNIFICATION. 

(a) Indemnification of Expenses. Subject to the provisions of Section 2(b) below, the Company shall indemnify
Indemnitee for Expenses to the fullest extent permitted by law if Indemnitee was or is or becomes a party to or witness or other participant in, or is threatened to be made a party to or witness or other participant in, any Claim (whether by reason
of or arising in part out of a Covered Event), including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such Expenses. 

(b) Review of Indemnification Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon written request for indemnification
pursuant to Section 4(b), a determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto shall be determined by a Reviewing Party selected pursuant to Section 2(d). In the event any Reviewing Party will have determined (in a written
opinion, in any case in which Independent Legal Counsel is the Reviewing Party) that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified hereunder under applicable law, (i) the Company shall have no further obligation under Section 2(a) to make
any payments to Indemnitee not made prior to such determination by such Reviewing Party, and (ii) the Company shall be entitled to be reimbursed by Indemnitee (who hereby agrees to reimburse the Company) for all Expenses theretofore paid in
indemnifying Indemnitee; provided, however, that if Indemnitee has commenced or thereafter commences legal proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction to secure a determination that Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified hereunder
under applicable law, any determination made by any Reviewing Party that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified hereunder under applicable law will not be binding and Indemnitee shall not be required to reimburse the Company for any Expenses
theretofore paid in indemnifying Indemnitee until a final judicial determination is made with respect thereto (as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or lapsed). Indemnitee’s obligation to reimburse the Company for any
Expenses will be unsecured and no interest will be charged thereon. 

  
 3 

 (c) Indemnitee Rights on Unfavorable Determination; Binding Effect.
If any Reviewing Party determines that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified hereunder in whole or in part under applicable law, Indemnitee shall have the right to commence litigation seeking an initial determination by the court or
challenging any such determination by such Reviewing Party or any aspect thereof, including the legal or factual bases therefor, and, subject to the provisions of Section 15, the Company hereby consents to service of process and to appear in
any such proceeding. Absent such litigation, any determination by any Reviewing Party will be conclusive and binding on the Company and Indemnitee. 
 (d) Selection of Reviewing Party; Change in Control. If there has not been a Change in Control, any Reviewing Party will be selected by the Board of Directors and approved by the Indemnitee (which
approval will not be unreasonably withheld). If the Board chooses to utilize an Independent Legal Counsel as the Reviewing Party, the Independent Legal Counsel will be chosen by the Company and approved by the Indemnitee (which approval will not be
unreasonably withheld). If there has been such a Change in Control (other than a Change in Control that has been approved by a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors who were directors immediately prior to such Change in Control), any
Reviewing Party with respect to all matters thereafter arising concerning the rights of Indemnitee to indemnification of Expenses under this Agreement or any other agreement or under the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws as now
or hereafter in effect, or under any other applicable law, if desired by Indemnitee, will be Independent Legal Counsel selected by Indemnitee and approved by the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld). Such counsel, among other
things, will render its written opinion to the Company and Indemnitee as to whether and to what extent Indemnitee would be entitled to be indemnified hereunder under applicable law and the Company agrees to abide by such opinion. The Company agrees
to pay the reasonable fees of the Independent Legal Counsel referred to above and to indemnify fully such counsel against any and all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or its engagement pursuant hereto. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not be required to pay Expenses of more than one Independent Legal Counsel in connection with all matters concerning a single
Indemnitee, and such Independent Legal Counsel shall be the Independent Legal Counsel for any or all other Indemnitees unless (i) the Company otherwise determines or (ii) any Indemnitee shall provide a written statement setting forth in
detail a reasonable objection to such Independent Legal Counsel representing other Indemnitees. 
 (e)
Mandatory Payment of Expenses. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement other than Section 10 hereof, to the extent that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise, including, without limitation, the dismissal of
an action without prejudice, in defense of any Claim, Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection therewith. 
 3. EXPENSE ADVANCES. 
 (a)
Obligation to Make Expense Advances. The Company will make Expense Advances to Indemnitee upon receipt of a written undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined that the Indemnitee is not
entitled to be indemnified therefor by the Company. 
 (b) Form of Undertaking. Any written undertaking
by the Indemnitee to repay any Expense Advances hereunder will be unsecured, and no interest shall be charged thereon.

 4. PROCEDURES FOR
INDEMNIFICATION AND EXPENSE ADVANCES. 
 (a)
Timing of Payments. All payments of Expenses (including without limitation Expense Advances) by the Company to the Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement will be made to the fullest extent permitted by law as soon as practicable after written
demand by Indemnitee therefor is presented to the Company, but in no event later than 30 days after such written demand by Indemnitee is presented to the Company, except in the case of Expense Advances, which will be made no later than 20 days after
such written demand by Indemnitee is presented to the Company. 
 (b) Notice/Cooperation by Indemnitee.
Indemnitee shall, as a condition precedent to Indemnitee’s right to be indemnified or Indemnitee’s right to receive Expense Advances under this Agreement, give the Company notice in writing as soon as practicable of any Claim made against
Indemnitee for which indemnification will or could be sought under this Agreement. Notice to the Company will be directed to the President or Chief Executive Officer of the Company at the address shown on the signature page of this Agreement (or
such other address as the Company shall designate in writing to Indemnitee). In addition, Indemnitee will give the Company such information and cooperation as it may reasonably require and as shall be within Indemnitee’s power. The failure by
Indemnitee to timely notify the Company of any Claim will not relieve the Company from any liability hereunder unless, and only to the extent that such failure results in forfeiture by the Company of substantial defenses, rights, or insurance
coverage. 
 (c) Timing of Indemnification Determination. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts
to cause any determination by a Reviewing Party to be made as promptly as practicable. If the Reviewing Party shall not have made a determination within 60 days after the later of (A) receipt by the Company of written notice from Indemnitee
advising the Company of the final disposition of the applicable Covered Event and (B) the selection of an Independent Counsel, if such determination is to be made by Independent Counsel, then Indemnitee shall be deemed to have satisfied the
applicable standard of conduct absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for
indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law; provided, however, that such 60-day period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed (1) an additional 30 days, if the person, persons
or entity making such determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification in good faith requires such additional time to obtain or evaluate documentation and/or information relating thereto or (2) an additional 75 days, if the
Reviewing Party will be the stockholders of the Company. 
 (d) No Presumptions; Burden of Proof. For
purposes of this Agreement, the termination of any Claim by judgment, order, settlement (whether with or without court approval) or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, will not create a presumption that
Indemnitee did not meet any particular standard of conduct or have any particular belief or that a court has determined that indemnification is not permitted by this Agreement or applicable law. In addition, neither the failure of any Reviewing
Party to have made a determination as to whether Indemnitee has met any particular standard of conduct or had any particular belief, nor an actual determination by any Reviewing Party that Indemnitee has not met such standard of conduct or did not
have such belief, prior to the commencement of legal proceedings by Indemnitee to secure a judicial determination that Indemnitee should be indemnified under this Agreement or applicable law, shall be a defense to Indemnitee’s claim or create a
presumption that Indemnitee has not met any particular standard of conduct or did not have any particular belief. In connection with any determination by any Reviewing Party or otherwise as to whether the Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified
hereunder, the burden of proof will be on the Company to establish that Indemnitee is not so entitled. 

  
 5 

 (e) Notice to Insurers. If, at the time of the receipt by the Company
of a notice of a Claim pursuant to Section (b) hereof, the Company has liability insurance in effect that may cover such Claim, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such Claim to the insurers in accordance with the
procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of the Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such Claim in accordance with the
terms of such policies; provided, however, that nothing in this subsection (e) shall relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder (or allow the Company to delay in its performance of its obligations hereunder) to provide
indemnification for or make any Expense Advances with respect to the Expenses of any Claim, between the time that it so notifies its insurers and the time that its insurers actually pay any such amounts payable as a result of any such Claim to the
Company. 
 (f) Selection of Counsel. In the event the Company shall be obligated hereunder to provide
indemnification for or make any Expense Advances with respect to the Expenses of any Claim, the Company, if appropriate, shall be entitled to assume the defense of such Claim with counsel approved by Indemnitee (which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld) upon the delivery to Indemnitee of written notice of the Company’s election to do so. After delivery of such notice, approval of such counsel by Indemnitee and the retention of such counsel by the Company, the Company
will not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any fees or expenses of separate counsel subsequently employed by or on behalf of Indemnitee with respect to the same Claim; provided, however, that (i) Indemnitee shall have the
right to employ Indemnitee’s separate counsel in any such Claim at Indemnitee’s expense and (ii) if (A) the employment of separate counsel by Indemnitee has been previously authorized by the Company, (B) Indemnitee shall
have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of any such defense, or (C) the Company shall not continue to retain such counsel to defend such Claim, then the fees and
expenses of Indemnitee’s separate counsel will be Expenses for which Indemnitee may receive indemnification or Expense Advances hereunder. The Company shall not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of
any threatened or pending Claim effected without the Company’s prior written consent. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, effect any settlement of any threatened or pending Claim which the Indemnitee is
or could have been a party unless such settlement solely involves the payment of money and includes a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnitee from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such Claim. Neither the
Company nor Indemnitee shall unreasonably withhold its consent to any proposed settlement; provided that Indemnitee may withhold consent to any settlement that does not provide a complete and unconditional release of Indemnitee. 

5. ADDITIONAL INDEMNIFICATION RIGHTS; NONEXCLUSIVITY.

 (a) Scope. The Company hereby agrees to indemnify the Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by
law, notwithstanding that such indemnification is not specifically authorized by the other provisions of this Agreement, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, the Company’s Bylaws or by statute. In the event of any change after the
date of this Agreement in any applicable law, statute or rule that expands the right of a Delaware corporation to indemnify a member of its board of directors or an officer, employee, agent or fiduciary, it is the intent of the parties hereto that
Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits afforded by such change. In the event of any change in any applicable law, statute or rule that narrows the right of a Delaware corporation to indemnify a member of its board of directors
or an officer, employee, agent or fiduciary, such change, to the extent not otherwise required by such law, statute or rule to be applied to this Agreement, will have no effect on this Agreement or the parties’ rights and obligations hereunder
except as set forth in Section 10(a) hereof. 

  
 6 

 (b) Nonexclusivity. The indemnification and the payment of Expense
Advances provided by this Agreement will be in addition to any rights to which Indemnitee may be entitled under the Company’s certificate of incorporation, its bylaws, any other agreement, any vote of stockholders or disinterested directors,
the Delaware General Corporation Law, or otherwise. The indemnification and the payment of Expense Advances provided under this Agreement will continue as to Indemnitee for any action taken or not taken while serving in an indemnified capacity even
though subsequent thereto Indemnitee may have ceased to serve in such capacity. 
 (c) Company Obligations
Primary. The Company hereby acknowledges that Indemnitee may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by one or more other entities and/or organizations (collectively, the “Secondary
Indemnitors”). The Company hereby agrees that (i) it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to Indemnitee are primary and any obligation of the Secondary Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide
indemnification for the same Expenses or liabilities incurred by Indemnitee are secondary), (ii) it will be required to advance the full amount of Expenses incurred by Indemnitee and will be liable for the full amount of all Expenses,
judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement to the extent legally permitted and as required by the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company (or any agreement between the Company and Indemnitee), without regard to any
rights Indemnitee may have against the Secondary Indemnitors and (iii) it irrevocably waives relinquishes and releases the Secondary Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Secondary Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any
other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. The Company further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Secondary Indemnitors on behalf of Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which Indemnitee has sought indemnification from the Company
will affect the foregoing and the Secondary Indemnitors will have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee against the Company. The Company and
Indemnitee agree that the Secondary Indemnitors are express third party beneficiaries of the terms hereof. 

6. NO DUPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. Subject to
Section 5(c) above,the Company will not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment in connection with any Claim made against Indemnitee to the extent Indemnitee has otherwise actually received payment (under any insurance policy,
provision of the Company’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws or otherwise) of the amounts otherwise payable under this Agreement. 
 7. PARTIAL INDEMNIFICATION. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of Expenses
incurred in connection with any Claim, but not, however, for all of the total amount thereof, the Company will indemnify Indemnitee for the portion of such Expenses to which Indemnitee is entitled. 

8. MUTUAL ACKNOWLEDGMENT. Both the Company and Indemnitee acknowledge that in
certain instances, federal law or applicable public policy may prohibit the Company from indemnifying its directors, officers, employees, agents or fiduciaries under this Agreement or otherwise. Indemnitee understands and acknowledges that the
Company has undertaken or may be required in the future to undertake with the Securities and Exchange Commission to submit the question of indemnification to a court in certain circumstances for a determination of the Company’s right under
public policy to indemnify Indemnitee. 
 9. LIABILITY INSURANCE. The
Company shall obtain and maintain during the term of this Agreement liability insurance applicable to directors, officers or fiduciaries in an amount determined by the Company’s board of directors; provided, however, that nothing in this
Section 9 shall relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder (or allow the Company to delay in its performance of its obligations hereunder) to provide indemnification for or make any Expense Advances with respect to the

  
 7 

 
Expenses of any Claim. To the extent the Company maintains liability insurance applicable to directors, officers or fiduciaries, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policies in such a manner as
to provide Indemnitee the same rights and benefits as are provided to the most favorably insured of the Company’s directors, if Indemnitee is a director; or of the Company’s officers, if Indemnitee is not a director of the Company but is
an officer. The Company shall promptly notify Indemnitee of any expiration, lapse, non-renewal or denial of coverage under any such policy. 
 10. EXCEPTIONS. 
 (a) Excluded Action or
Omissions. The Company will not indemnify Indemnitee for Expenses resulting from acts, omissions or transactions for which Indemnitee is prohibited from receiving indemnification under this Agreement or applicable law; provided, however,
that notwithstanding any limitation set forth in this subsection (a) regarding the Company’s obligation to provide indemnification, Indemnitee will be entitled under Section 3 to receive Expense Advances hereunder with respect to any
such Claim unless and until a court having jurisdiction over the Claim will have made a final judicial determination (as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or lapsed) that Indemnitee has engaged in acts, omissions or
transactions for which Indemnitee is prohibited from receiving indemnification under this Agreement or applicable law. 
 (b) Claims Initiated by Indemnitee. The Company will not indemnify or make Expense Advances to Indemnitee with respect to Claims initiated or brought voluntarily by Indemnitee and not by way of
defense, counterclaim or cross claim, except (i) with respect to actions or proceedings brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification under this Agreement or any other agreement or insurance policy or under the Company’s
certificate of incorporation or bylaws now or hereafter in effect relating to Claims for Covered Events, (ii) in specific cases if the Board of Directors has approved the initiation or bringing of such Claim, or (iii) as otherwise required
under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (relating to indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents; and insurance), regardless of whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such
indemnification or insurance recovery, as the case may be. 
 (c) Lack of Good Faith. The Company will
not indemnify Indemnitee for any Expenses incurred by the Indemnitee with respect to any action in which the Indemnitee has been finally adjudged by a court having jurisdiction in the matter (i) to have acted in bad faith; (ii) to not have
acted in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Company; or (iii) with respect to criminal actions or proceedings, to have had reasonable cause to believe Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. 

(d) Claims Under Section 16(b). The Company will not indemnify Indemnitee for Expenses and the payment of
profits arising from the purchase and sale by Indemnitee of securities in violation of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any similar successor statute; provided, however, that notwithstanding any
limitation set forth in this subsection (d) regarding the Company’s obligation to provide indemnification, Indemnitee shall be entitled under Section 3 to receive Expense Advances hereunder with respect to any such Claim unless and
until a court having jurisdiction over the Claim will have made a final judicial determination (as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or lapsed) that Indemnitee has violated said statute. 

(e) Clawback Under Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The Company will not indemnify Indemnitee in connection with any Claim for
reimbursement of the Company by Indemnitee of any bonus or other incentive-based or equity-based compensation or of any profits realized by Indemnitee from the sale of securities of the Company, as required in each case under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (including any such reimbursements that arise from an accounting restatement of the Company 

  
 8 

 
pursuant to Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), or the payment to the Company of profits arising from the purchase and sale by
Indemnitee of securities in violation of Section 306 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act), if Indemnitee is held liable therefor (including pursuant to any settlement). 

11. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be
an original, but all of which together will constitute one instrument. 
 12. BINDING
EFFECT; SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns
(including any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company), spouses, heirs and personal and legal representatives. The Company shall require and
cause any successor (whether direct or indirect, and whether by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all, substantially all, or a substantial part, of the business or assets of the Company, by written agreement in form and substance
satisfactory to Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. This Agreement will continue in effect
regardless of whether Indemnitee continues to serve as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary (as applicable) of the Company or of any other enterprise at the Company’s request, but only with respect to Covered Events. 

13. EXPENSES INCURRED IN ACTION RELATING
TO ENFORCEMENT OR INTERPRETATION. In the event that any action is instituted by Indemnitee under this Agreement or under any liability insurance policies maintained by the Company to
enforce or interpret any of the terms hereof or thereof, Indemnitee shall be entitled to be indemnified for all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee with respect to such action (including without limitation attorneys’ fees), regardless of whether
Indemnitee is ultimately successful in such action, unless as a part of such action a court having jurisdiction over such action makes a final judicial determination (as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or lapsed) that
each of the material assertions made by Indemnitee as a basis for such action was not made in good faith or was frivolous; provided, however, that until such final judicial determination is made, Indemnitee shall be entitled under
Section 3 to receive payment of Expense Advances hereunder with respect to such action. In the event of an action instituted by or in the name of the Company under this Agreement to enforce or interpret any of the terms of this Agreement,
Indemnitee shall be entitled to be indemnified for all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in defense of such action (including without limitation costs and expenses incurred with respect to Indemnitee’s counterclaims and cross-claims made in such
action), unless as a part of such action a court having jurisdiction over such action makes a final judicial determination (as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or lapsed) that each of the material defenses asserted by
Indemnitee in such action was made in bad faith or was frivolous; provided, however, that until such final judicial determination is made, Indemnitee shall be entitled under Section 3 to receive payment of Expense Advances hereunder with
respect to such action. 
 14. NOTICES. All notices required or permitted hereunder shall
be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (a) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (b) when sent by confirmed electronic mail or facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient; if not, then on the
next business day, (c) five days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (d) one day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery,
with written verification of receipt. Addresses for notice to either party are as shown on the signature page of this Agreement or as subsequently modified by written notice. 

  
 9 

 15. CONSENT TO
JURISDICTION. The Company and Indemnitee each hereby irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware for all purposes in connection with any action or proceeding which arises out of or relates to
this Agreement and agree that any action instituted under this Agreement will be commenced, prosecuted and continued only in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in and for New Castle County, which will be the exclusive and only proper
forum for adjudicating such a claim. 
 16. CHOICE OF LAW.
This Agreement will be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Delaware in all respects as such laws are applied to agreements among Delaware residents entered into and performed entirely within Delaware, without giving effect to

OF 1933, AS AMENDED.

 11. INFRINGEMENT BY OTHERS: PROTECTION OF PATENTS 

 

	11.1	Both TABLEAU and STANFORD shall promptly inform the other party of any suspected infringement of any Licensed Patent by a third party. STANFORD and TABLEAU each shall
have the right to institute an action for infringement of the Licensed Patent against such third party in accordance with the following: 

  

	 	(a)	If STANFORD and TABLEAU agree to institute suit jointly, the suit shall be brought in both their names, the out-of-pocket costs thereof shall be borne equally, and any
recovery or settlement shall be shared equally. TABLEAU and STANFORD shall agree to the manner in which they shall exercise control over such action. STANFORD may, if it so desires, also be represented by separate counsel of its own selection, the
fees for which counsel shall be paid by STANFORD; 

  

	 	(b)	In the absence of agreement to institute a suit jointly, STANFORD may institute suit, and, at its option, join TABLEAU as a plaintiff. If STANFORD decides to institute
suit, then it shall notify TABLEAU in writing. TABLEAU’s failure to notify STANFORD in writing, within sixty (60) days after the date of the notice, that it will join in enforcing the patent pursuant to the provisions hereof, shall be and
be deemed conclusively to be TABLEAU’s assignment to STANFORD of all rights, causes of action, and damages resulting from any such alleged infringement. STANFORD shall bear the entire cost of such litigation and shall be entitled to retain the
entire amount of any recovery or settlement; and 

  

	 	(c)	In the absence of agreement to institute a suit jointly and if STANFORD notifies TABLEAU that it has decided not to join in or institute a suit, as provided in
(a) or (b) above, TABLEAU may institute suit. If STANFORD decides not to join in or institute a suit, then it shall notify POLARIS in writing within (60) days after the date of the notice of a potential suit by POLARIS it will join in
enforcing the patent pursuant to the provisions hereof. 

 If, in the reasonable opinion of TABLEAU’s and
STANFORD’s respective counsel, STANFORD should be a named party to any such suit for standing purposes, TABLEAU may join STANFORD as a party, provided, however, that: 

 

	 	(i)	STANFORD shall not be the first named party in any such action; 

 [*]=CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, IS FILED WITH THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 406 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
OF 1933, AS AMENDED. 
  

	 	(ii)	The pleadings and any public statements about the action shall state that the action is being pursued by TABLEAU and that TABLEAU has the right to join STANFORD as a
party; and 

  

	 	(iii)	TABLEAU shall keep STANFORD reasonably apprised of all developments in any such action. 

 

	 	(iv)	POLARIS and STANFORD agree to negotiate in good faith to compensate STANFORD, in the event of a recovery or settlement, for expenses incurred by STANFORD.

 11.2 Should either STANFORD or TABLEAU commence a suit under the provisions of Section 11.1 and thereafter elect to
abandon the same, it shall give timely notice to the other party who may, if it so desires, continue prosecution of such suit, provided, however, that the sharing of expenses and any recovery in such suit shall be as agreed upon between STANFORD and
TABLEAU. 
 12. SUBLICENSING 
  

	12.1	TABLEAU may grant sublicenses in the Licensed Field of Use. 

  

	12.2	Any sublicense granted by TABLEAU under this Agreement shall be subject and subordinate to terms and conditions of this Agreement, except that sublicense terms and
conditions shall reflect that any sublicensee shall not further sublicense. 

  

	12.3	Any such sublicense also shall expressly include the provisions of Article 8 for the benefit of STANFORD. 

 

	12.4	TABLEAU agrees to provide STANFORD a copy of any sublicense granted pursuant to this Article 12. 

 

	12.5	TABLEAU may place the SOFTWARE in escrow for the purposes of sublicensing at the expense of TABLEAU. 

13. OEM CUSTOMER, SUBSIDIARY, AGENTS, DISTRIBUTORS, DEALERS, AND OTHER THIRD PARTIES 

13.1 If TABLEAU sells or leases Licensed Program(s) to an OEM Customer, subsidiary, agent, distributor, dealer, or other third party that is not an
end-user to the SOFTWARE, then TABLEAU will ensure such OEM Customer, subsidiary, agent, distributor, dealer, or other third party fully understands and complies with the requirements of this Agreement.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 406 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
OF 1933, AS AMENDED. 
  

 13.2 An OEM Customer may grant sublicenses in the Licensed Field of Use. 

13.3 Any sublicense granted by OEM Customer shall be subject and subordinate to terms and conditions of this Agreement, except that sublicense terms and
conditions shall reflect that any sublicensee shall not further sublicense. 
 13.4 Any such sublicense also shall expressly include the
provisions of Article 8 for the benefit of STANFORD. 
 13.5 TABLEAU agrees to provide STANFORD a copy of any sublicense granted pursuant to
this Article 13. 
 13.6 OEM Customer may place the SOFTWARE in escrow for the purposes of sublicensing, but not at the expense of STANFORD.

 14. TERMINATION 
 14.1
This Agreement may be terminated by TABLEAU upon thirty (30) days written notice to STANFORD. 
 14.2 This Agreement may be terminated by
STANFORD if TABLEAU 
  

	 	(a)	Is in default of any payment or reporting obligation; 

  

	 	(b)	Is not diligently developing and commercializing Licensed Program; 

  

	 	(c)	Is in breach of any provision hereof; or 

  

	 	(d)	Provides any false report; 

 and TABLEAU fails
to remedy any such default, lack of diligence, breach, or false report within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof by STANFORD. Such termination shall be without prejudice to any rights, obligations, or liabilities already accrued
prior to such termination. 
 14.3 Surviving any termination are: 

 

	 	(a)	TABLEAU’s obligation to pay royalties accrued or accruable; 

  

	 	(b)	The provisions of Articles 8 and 9; and 

 [*]=CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, IS FILED WITH THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 406 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
OF 1933, AS AMENDED. 
  

	 	(c)	Any cause of action or claim of TABLEAU or STANFORD, accrued or to accrue, because of any breach or default by the other party.

	 	(c)	Any product of a complete plant or of a major component of a plant when such complete plant or such major component is the direct product of SOFTWARE.

 16. ASSIGNMENT 
 16.1 TABLEAU may assign this Agreement as part of an Acquisition and upon payment by TABLEAU to STANFORD of an assignment fee according to the schedule below. 

 

	 	(a)	If TABLEAU receives less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) for the Acquisition, TABLEAU shall pay to Stanford Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000) due thirty
(90) days after the date of Acquisition; or

(90) days after the date of Acquisition. 

 TABLEAU shall give STANFORD written notice of such assignment, including the new
contact information of assignee. The assignment shall not be deemed to be complete until STANFORD has received the assignment fee as specified above, in which event TABLEAU shall be released of liability hereunder. Upon such assignment of this
agreement to such assignee, the term “TABLEAU” as used herein shall be in reference to assignee. 
 16.2 If TABLEAU assigns this
Agreement as part of this Section 16, assignee agrees to use all reasonable efforts to proceed with the development, and sale of Licensed Program and to diligently develop markets for the Licensed Program. So long as assignee is diligently
