EMPLOYEE PROPRIETARY INFORMATION 

AND INVENTIONS AGREEMENT 

In consideration of my employment or continued employment by NEW RELIC, INC.
(“Company”), and the compensation now and hereafter paid to me, I hereby agree as follows: 

 

 1. NONDISCLOSURE 

1.1 Recognition of Company’s Rights; Nondisclosure. At all times during my employment and for a period of five (5) years
thereafter, I will hold in strictest confidence and will not disclose, use, lecture upon or publish any of the Company’s Proprietary Information (defined below), except as such disclosure, use or publication may be required in connection with
my work for the Company, or unless an officer of the Company expressly authorizes such in writing. I will obtain Company’s written approval before publishing or submitting for publication any material (written, verbal, or otherwise) that
relates to my work at Company and/or incorporates any Proprietary Information. I hereby assign to the Company any rights I may have or acquire in such Proprietary Information and recognize that all Proprietary Information shall be the sole property
of the Company and its assigns. 
 1.2 Proprietary Information. The term “Proprietary information” shall mean any
and all confidential and/or proprietary knowledge, data or information of the Company. By way of illustration but not limitation, “Proprietary Information” includes (a) trade secrets, inventions, mask works, ideas, processes,
formulas, source and object codes, data, programs, other works of authorship, know-how, improvements, discoveries, developments, designs and techniques (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Inventions”); and (b) information
regarding plans for research, development, new products, marketing and selling, business plans, budgets and unpublished financial statements, licenses, prices and costs, suppliers and customers; and (c) information regarding the skills and
compensation of other employees of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood that, at all such times, I am free to use information which is generally known in the trade or industry, which is not gained as result of a breach of
this Agreement, and my own skill, knowledge, know-how and experience to whatever extent and in whichever way I wish.

 1.3 Third Party information. understand, in addition, that the Company has received and
in the future will receive from third parties confidential or proprietary information (“Third Party Information”) subject to a duty on the Company’s part to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for
certain limited purposes. During the term of my employment and thereafter, I will hold Third Party Information in the strictest confidence and will not disclose to anyone (other than Company personnel who need to know such information in connection
with their work for the Company) or use, except in connection with my work for the Company, Third Party Information unless expressly authorized by an officer of the Company in writing. 

1.4 No Improper Use of Information of Prior Employers and Others. During my employment by the Company I will not improperly use or
disclose any confidential information or trade secrets, if any, of any former employer or any other person to whom I have an obligation of confidentiality, and I will not bring onto the premises of the Company any unpublished documents or any
property belonging to any former employer or any other person to whom I have an obligation of confidentiality unless consented to in writing by that former employer or person. I will use in the performance of my duties only information which is
generally known and used by persons with training and experience comparable to my own, which is common knowledge in the industry or otherwise legally in the public domain, or which is otherwise provided or developed by the Company. 

2. ASSIGNMENT OF INVENTIONS. 

2.1 Proprietary Rights. The term “Proprietary Rights” shall mean all trade secret, patent, copyright, mask work and
other intellectual property rights throughout the world. 
 2.2 Prior Inventions. Inventions, if any, patented or unpatented, which
I made prior to the commencement of my employment with the Company are excluded from the scope of this Agreement. To preclude any possible uncertainty, I

 

  
 Page 5 

 
have set forth on Exhibit C (Previous Inventions) attached hereto a complete list of all Inventions that I have, alone or jointly with others, conceived, developed or reduced to practice
or caused to be conceived, developed or reduced to practice prior to the commencement of my employment with the Company, that I consider to be my property or the property of third parties and that I wish to have excluded from the scope of this
Agreement (collectively referred to as “Prior Inventions”). If disclosure of any such Prior Invention would cause me to violate any prior confidentiality agreement, I understand that I am not to list such Prior Inventions in
Exhibit C but am only to disclose a cursory name for each such invention, a listing of the party(ies) to whom it belongs and the fact that full disclosure as to such inventions has not been made for that reason. A space is provided on
Exhibit C for such purpose. If no such disclosure is attached, I represent that there are no Prior Inventions. If, in the course of my employment with the Company, I incorporate a Prior Invention into a Company product, process or machine,
the Company is hereby granted and shall have a nonexclusive, royalty-free, in-evocable, perpetual, worldwide license (with rights to sublicense through multiple tiers of sublicensees) to make, have made, modify, use and sell such Prior Invention.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, I agree that I will not incorporate, or permit to be incorporated, Prior Inventions in any Company Inventions without the Company’s prior written consent. 

2.3 Assignment of Inventions. Subject to Sections 2.4, and 2.6, I hereby assign and agree to assign in the future (when any such
Inventions or Proprietary Rights are first reduced to practice or first fixed in a tangible medium, as applicable) to the Company all my right, title and interest in and to any and all Inventions (and all Proprietary Rights with respect thereto)
whether or not patentable or registrable under copyright or similar statutes, made or conceived or reduced to practice or learned by me, either alone or jointly with others, during the period of my employment with the Company. Inventions assigned to
the Company, or to a third party as directed by the Company pursuant to this Section 2, are hereinafter referred to as “Company Inventions.” 

2.4 Nonassignable Inventions. This Agreement does not apply to an Invention which qualifies fully as a nonassignable Invention under
Section 2870 of the California Labor Code (hereinafter “Section 2870”). I have reviewed the notification on Exhibit A (Limited Exclusion

 
Notification) and agree that my signature acknowledges receipt of the notification. 

2.5 Obligation to Keep Company Informed. During the period of my employment and for six (6) months after termination of my
employment with the Company, I will promptly disclose to the Company fully and in writing all Inventions authored, conceived or reduced to practice by me, either alone or jointly with others. In addition, I will promptly disclose to the Company all
patent applications filed by me or on my behalf within a year after termination of employment. At the time of each such disclosure, I will advise the Company in writing of any Inventions that I believe fully qualify for protection under
Section 2870; and I will at that time provide to the Company in writing all evidence necessary to substantiate that belief. The Company will keep in confidence and will not use for any purpose or disclose to third parties without my consent any
confidential information disclosed in writing to the Company pursuant to this Agreement relating to Inventions that qualify fully for protection under the provisions of Section 2870. I will preserve the confidentiality of any Invention that
does not fully qualify for protection under Section 2870. 
 2.6 Government or Third Party. I also agree to assign all my
right, title and interest in and to any particular Company Invention to a third party, including without limitation the United States, as directed by the Company. 

2.7 Works for Hire. I acknowledge that all original works of authorship which are made by me (solely or jointly with others) within
the scope of my employment and which are protectable by copyright are “works made for hire,” pursuant to United States Copyright Act (17 U.S.C., Section 101). 

2.8 Enforcement of Proprietary Rights. I will assist the Company in every proper way to obtain, and from time to time enforce, United
States and foreign Proprietary Rights relating to Company Inventions in any and all countries. To that end I will execute, verify and deliver such documents and perform such other acts (including appearances as a witness) as the Company may
reasonably request for use in applying for, obtaining, perfecting, evidencing, sustaining and enforcing such Proprietary Rights and the assignment thereof. In addition, I will execute, verify and deliver assignments of such Proprietary Rights to the
Company or its designee. My obligation to assist the Company with respect to Proprietary Rights relating to such Company

 

  
 Page 6 

 
Inventions in any and all countries shall continue beyond the termination of my employment, but the Company shall compensate me at a reasonable rate after my termination for the time actually
spent by me at the Company’s request on such assistance. 
 In the event the Company is unable for any reason, after reasonable effort, to secure my
signature on any document needed in connection with the actions specified in the preceding paragraph, I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as my agent and attorney in fact, which
appointment is coupled with an interest, to act for and in my behalf to execute, verify and file any such documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the purposes of the preceding paragraph with the same legal force and effect
as if executed by me. I hereby waive and quitclaim to the Company any and all claims, of any nature whatsoever, which I now or may hereafter have for infringement of any Proprietary Rights assigned hereunder to the Company. 

3. RECORDS. I agree to keep and maintain adequate and current records (in the form of notes, sketches, drawings and in any other form
that may be required by the Company) of all Proprietary Information developed by me and all Inventions made by me during the period of my employment at the Company, which records shall be available to and remain the sole property of the Company at
all times. 
 4. ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES. I agree that during the period of my employment by the Company I will not,
without the Company’s written consent, engage in any employment or business activity which is competitive with, or would otherwise conflict with, my employment by the Company. I agree further that for the period of my employment by the Company
and for one (1) year after the date of termination of my employment by the Company I will not, either directly or through others, solicit or attempt to solicit any employee, independent contractor or consultant of the company to terminate his
or her relationship with the Company in order to become an employee, consultant or independent contractor to or for any other person or entity. 
 5.
NO CONFLICTING OBLIGATION. I represent that my performance of all the terms of this Agreement and as an employee of the Company does not and will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence
information acquired by me in confidence or in trust prior to my employment by the Company. I

 
have not entered into, and I agree I will not enter into, any agreement either written or oral in conflict herewith. 

6. RETURN OF COMPANY DOCUMENTS. When I leave the employ of the Company, I will deliver to
the Company any and all drawings, notes, memoranda, specifications, devices, formulas, and documents, together with all copies thereof, and any other material containing or disclosing any Company Inventions, Third Party Information or Proprietary
Information of the Company. I further agree that any property situated on the Company’s premises and owned by the Company, including disks and other storage media, filing cabinets or other work areas, is subject to inspection by Company
personnel at any time with or without notice. Prior to leaving, I will cooperate with the Company in completing and signing the Company’s termination statement. 

7. LEGAL AND EQUITABLE REMEDIES. Because my services are personal and unique and because I
may have access to and become acquainted with the Proprietary Information of the Company, the Company shall have the right to enforce this Agreement and any of its provisions by injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief, without
bond and without prejudice to any other rights and remedies that the Company may have for a breach of this Agreement. 
 8. NOTICES.
Any notices required or permitted hereunder shall be given to the appropriate party at the address specified below or at such other address as the party shall specify in writing. Such notice shall be deemed given upon personal delivery to the
appropriate address or if sent by certified or registered mail, three (3) days after the date of mailing. 
 9. NOTIFICATION
OF NEW EMPLOYER. In the event that I leave the employ of the Company, I hereby consent to the notification of my new employer of my rights and obligations under this Agreement. 

10. GENERAL PROVISIONS. 

10.1 Governing Law; Consent to Personal Jurisdiction. This Agreement will be governed by and construed according to the laws of the
State of California, as such laws are applied to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within California between California residents. I hereby expressly consent to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in

 

  
 Page 7 

 
San Francisco County, California, for any lawsuit filed there against me by Company arising from or related to this Agreement. 

10.2 Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the other provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never
been contained herein. If moreover, any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to duration, geographical scope, activity or subject, it shall be construed by limiting and
reducing it, so as to be enforceable to the extent compatible with the applicable taw as it shall then appear. 
 10.3 Successors and
Assigns. This Agreement will be binding upon my heirs, executors, administrators and other legal representatives and will be for the benefit of the Company, its successors, and its assigns. 

10.4 Survival. The provisions of this Agreement shall survive the termination of my employment and the assignment of this Agreement
by the Company to any successor in interest or other assignee. 
 10.5 Employment. I agree and understand that nothing in this
Agreement shall confer any right with respect to continuation of employment by the Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with my right or the Company’s right to terminate my employment at any time, with or without cause. 

10.6 Waiver. No waiver by the Company of any breach of this Agreement shall be a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach. No
waiver by the Company of any right under this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver of any other right. The Company shall not be required to give notice to enforce strict adherence to all terms of this Agreement. 

10.7 Advice of Counsel. ACKNOWLEDGE THAT, IN EXECUTING THIS AGREEMENT, I HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEEK THE ADVICE OF INDEPENDENT
LEGAL COUNSEL, AND I HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD ALL OF THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THIS

 
AGREEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED AGAINST ANY PARTY BY REASON OF THE DRAFTING OR PREPARATION HEREOF. 

10.8 Entire Agreement. The obligations pursuant to Sections 1 and 2 of this Agreement shall apply to any time during which I was
previously employed, or am in the future employed, by the Company as a consultant if no other agreement governs nondisclosure and assignment of inventions during such period. This Agreement is the final, complete and exclusive agreement of the
parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and merges all prior discussions between us. No modification of or amendment to this Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights under this Agreement, will be effective unless in writing
and signed by the party to be charged. Any subsequent change or changes in my duties, salary or compensation will not affect the validity or scope of this Agreement. 

This Agreement shall be effective as of the first day of my employment with the Company, namely: 1 April, 2008. 

I HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY AND
UNDERSTAND ITS TERMS. I HAVE COMPLETELY FILLED OUT EXHIBIT B TO THIS

 EXHIBIT D 

SEVERANCE ADDENDUM 

If the Company terminates your employment without Cause (as defined below) or you resign your employment for Good Reason (as defined below), and provided such
termination constitutes a “separation from service” (as defined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h)) (a “Separation from Service”), and further provided that you remain in compliance with this letter agreement and
within 60 days following the date of termination of your employment you provide to the Company an executed and effective general release of all claims in a form satisfactory to the Company (the “Release”), then: (a) the Company will
pay you severance compensation equal to six (6) months of your base salary in effect as of your employment termination date, less payroll deductions and all required withholdings. which will be paid in a lump sum on the sixtieth (60th) day
following your Separation from Service, provided the Release has become effective; and (b) if such employment termination occurs prior to the one (1) year cliff of your vesting equity, the Company will accelerate your then unvested equity
such that 25% of your then-unvested equity offered in your employment agreement will immediately vest and become exercisable as of the date of your Separation from Service. 

In the event that your employment is terminated by the Company for Cause or by you for any reason other than Good Reason, then you will no longer vest in [any
equity awards], all payments of compensation by the Company to you hereunder will terminate immediately (except as to amounts already earned), and you will not be entitled to any severance benefits, including (without limitation) any severance
payment or the vesting acceleration. In addition, you shall resign from all positions and terminate any relationships as an employee, advisor, officer or director with the Company and any of its affiliates, each effective on the date of termination.

 “Cause” means any of the following: (a) you willfully engage in conduct that is in bad faith and materially injurious to the
Company, including but not limited to, misappropriate or trade secrets, fraud or embezzlement; (b) you commit a material breach of any written agreement between you and the Company that causes harm to the Company, which breach is not cured
within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice describing in detail such breach to you from the Company; (c) you willfully refuses to implement or follow a directive by your supervisor, directly related to your duties, which
breach is not cured within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice describing in detail such breach to you from the Company; or (d) you engage in material misfeasance or malfeasance demonstrated by a continued pattern of material
failure to perform the essential job duties associated with your position, which breach is not cured within thirty (30) days after receipt or written notice describing in detail such breach to you from the Company. 

“Good Reason” means any of the following actions by the Company (or any acquiror thereof) without your prior written consent:
(a) a material reduction in your duties or responsibilities that is inconsistent with your position; (b) the requirement that you change your principal office to a facility that increases your commute by more than fifty (50) miles
from your commute to the location at which you are employed prior to such change, or (c) a material reduction in your annual base salary, which the parties agree is a reduction of at least 5% of your base salary. In order to resign for Good
Reason, you must provide written notice to the Company’s CEO within 30 days after the first occurrence of the event giving rise to Good Reason setting forth the basis for your resignation, allow the Company at least 30 days from receipt of such
written notice to cure such event, and if such event is not reasonably cured within such period, you must resign from all positions you then hold with the Company not later than 90 days after the expiration of the cure period. 

It is intended that any severance benefits payable under this letter agreement satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the exemptions from the application
of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A provided under Treasury Regulations 1.409A 1(b)(4), 1.409A 1(b)(5) and 1.409A 1(b)(9), and this letter agreement will be construed to the greatest extent possible as consistent with those provisions. For
purposes of Code Section 409A (including, without limitation, for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section l.409A 2(b)(2)(iii)), your right to receive installment payments under this letter agreement shall be treated as a right to receive a
series of separate payments and, accordingly, each installment payment hereunder shall at all times be considered a separate and distinct payment. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this letter agreement, if you are deemed by the
Company at the time of your Separation from Service to be a “specified employee” for purposes of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), to the extent delayed 

  
 Page 9 

 
commencement of any portion of the severance benefits to which you are entitled under this letter agreement is required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Code
Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), such portion of your benefits shall not be provided to you prior to the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six-month period measured from the date or your Separation from Service with the Company or
(ii) the date of your death. Upon the first business day following the expiration of the applicable Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) period, all payments deferred pursuant to this paragraph shall be paid in a lump sum to you, and any
remaining payments due under this letter agreement shall be paid as otherwise provided herein.

 Exhibit 10.12 

NEW RELIC, INC. 
 CHANGE
IN CONTROL AND SEVERANCE AGREEMENT 
 This Change in Control and Severance Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into
by and between [                    ] (“Executive”) and New Relic, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), to
become effective upon the date of the Company’s initial public offering. 
 RECITALS 

A. The Company expects to make an intial public offering of its common stock (“IPO) in the near future. 

B. The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) believes it is in the best interests of the Company and its
shareholders to retain Executive on and after the IPO and to provide Executive with certain protections in the event of Executive’s termination of employment under certain circumstances. 

Now therefore, in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants and agreements contained herein, and in consideration of the continuing
employment of Executive by the Company, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 1. Effectiveness and Term of Agreement; At-Will
Employment. This Agreement shall become effective upon the Company’s IPO and shall remain in effect for a term of three years from such date, after which time this Agreement may be renewed by mutual agreement of the parties.
Executive’s employment is and shall remain at-will, which means that the Company may terminate Executive’s employment at any time, with or without advance notice, and with or without Cause. Similarly, Executive may resign Executive’s
employment at any time, with or without advance notice. Executive shall not receive any compensation of any kind, including, without limitation, stock option or other equity award vesting acceleration and severance benefits, following
Executive’s termination of employment with the Company, except as expressly provided herein. 
 2. Severance Benefits. 

(a) Severance Benefits upon a Termination in Connection with or Following a Change in Control. If Executive’s employment is
terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined below, and other than as a result of death or disability), or Executive resigns his or her employment with the Company for Good Reason (as defined below), in either case in connection with or
within 12 months following the effective date of a Change in Control, and provided such termination constitutes a “separation from service” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h), a “Separation from
Service”), and further provided that Executive delivers an effective release of claims as required under Section 3 below, then Executive shall be entitled to the following severance benefits (the “CIC Benefits”): 

 (i) The Company shall pay Executive a lump sum amount in cash equal to
[                    ] months of Executive’s then current base salary, ignoring any decrease in base salary that forms the basis for Good
Reason, at the time specified in Section 3 below. 
 (ii) Subject to Section 9(c), the Company shall pay Executive’s
expenses for continuing his or her health care coverage and that of any dependents who are covered at the time of the Executive’s Separation from Service (the “COBRA Premiums”) under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”) for a period ending on the earlier of the [                    ] month anniversary
of the Separation from Service or the date on which Executive becomes eligible to be covered by the health care plans of another employer (the “CIC COBRA Period”), so long as Executive timely elects such COBRA continuation coverage.

 (iii) All outstanding stock awards then held by Executive shall become fully vested and exercisable with respect to all of the shares
subject thereto, effective immediately prior to Executive’s Separation from Service under this Section 2(a). 
 (b) Severance
Benefits upon a Termination Not in Connection with or Following a Change in Control. If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (other than as a result of death or disability), and such termination is not in
connection with or within 12 months following the effective date of a Change in Control, and provided such termination constitutes a Separation from Service and that Executive delivers an effective release of claims as required under Section 3
below, then Executive shall be entitled to the following severance benefits (the “Severance Benefits”): 
 (i) The Company
shall pay Executive an amount in cash equal to [                    ] months of Executive’s then current base salary, paid over the
[                    ] month period following Execuctive’s Separation from Service, in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll
schedule, at the time specified in Section 3 below. 
 (ii) Subject to Section 9(c), the Company shall pay Executive’s COBRA
Premiums for a period ending on the earlier of the [                    ] month anniversary of the Separation from Service or the date on which
Executive becomes eligible to be covered by the health care plans of another employer (the “Severance COBRA Period”), so long as Executive timely elects such COBRA continuation coverage. 

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

  
 2. 

 
an earned bonus, within the time period set forth in the Company’s bonus plan and in any event by no later than two and one-half months after the end of the fiscal year following the year in
which the bonus was earned). 
 3. Release Required; Timing of Payments. 

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

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

(c) Timing of Payments. Within five days following the Release Effective Date, the Company will pay (or commence payment of) the CIC
Benefits or Severance Benefits Executive would otherwise have received on or prior to such date but for the delay in payment related to the effectiveness of the Release, with the balance of benefits being paid as scheduled. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the Company (or, if applicable, the successor entity thereto) determines that any of the CIC Benefits or Severance Benefits constitute “deferred compensation” under Section 409A (defined below), then, solely to the
extent necessary to avoid the incurrence of the adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A, no CIC Benefits or Severance Benefits will be paid prior to the 60th day following Executive’s Separation from Service. On the 60th day
following the date of Separation from Service, the Company will pay to Executive in a lump sum the CIC Benefits or Severance Benefits, as applicable, that Executive would otherwise have received on or prior to such date, with the balance of the CIC
Benefits or Severance Benefits being paid as originally scheduled. 
 4. Limitation on Payments. If any payment or benefit (including
payments and benefits pursuant to this Agreement) that Executive would receive in connection with a Change in Control from the Company or otherwise (“Transaction Payment”) would (i) constitute a “parachute payment”
within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then the Company shall cause to be determined,
before any amounts of the Transaction Payment are paid to Executive, which of the following two alternative forms of payment would result in Executive’s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater amount of the Transaction Payment
notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Transaction Payment may be subject to the 

  
 3. 

 
Excise Tax: (1) payment in full of the entire amount of the Transaction Payment (a “Full Payment”), or (2) payment of only a part of the Transaction Payment so that
Executive receives the largest payment possible without the imposition of the Excise Tax (a “Reduced Payment”) . For purposes of determining whether to make a Full Payment or a Reduced Payment, the Company shall cause to be taken
into account all applicable federal, state and local income and employment taxes and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from a deduction
of such state and local taxes). If a Reduced Payment is made, (x) Executive shall have no rights to any additional payments and/or benefits constituting the Transaction Payment, and (y) reduction in payments and/or benefits will occur in
the following order: (1) reduction of cash payments; (2) cancellation of accelerated vesting of equity awards other than stock options; (3) cancellation of accelerated vesting of stock options; and (4) reduction of other benefits
paid to Executive. In the event that acceleration of vesting of equity award compensation is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting will be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant of Executive’s equity awards. In no event will
the Company or any stockholder be liable to Executive for any amounts not paid as a result of the operation of this Section 4. 
 (a)
The professional firm engaged by the Company for general tax purposes as of the day prior to the effective date of the Change in Control shall make all determinations required to be made under this Section 4. If the professional firm so engaged
by the Company is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change in Control, the Company shall appoint a nationally recognized independent registered public accounting firm to make the determinations
required hereunder. The Company shall bear all expenses with respect to the determinations by such professional firm required to be made hereunder. 

(b) The professional firm engaged to make the determinations hereunder shall provide its calculations, together with detailed supporting
documentation, to the Company and Executive within 15 calendar days after the date on which Executive’s right to a Transaction Payment is triggered or such other time as reasonably requested by the Company or Executive. If the professional firm
determines that no Excise Tax is payable with respect to the Transaction Payment, either before or after the application of the Reduced Amount, it shall furnish the Company and Executive with detailed supporting calculations of its determinations
that no Excise Tax will be imposed with respect to such Transaction Payment. Any good faith determinations of the professional firm made hereunder shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Company and Executive. 

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

  
 4. 

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

6. Notices. 
 (a)
General. Notices and all other communications contemplated by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when personally delivered or when mailed by U.S. registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested and postage prepaid. In the case of Executive, mailed notices shall be addressed to him at the home address which he most recently communicated to the Company in writing. In the case of the Company, mailed notices shall be addressed to its
corporate headquarters, and all notices shall be directed to the attention of its Secretary. 
 (b) Notice of Termination. Any
termination by the Company with or without Cause or by Executive as a result of a voluntary resignation for any reason shall be communicated by a notice of termination to the other party hereto given in accordance with this Agreement. 

7. Arbitration. The Company and Executive shall attempt to settle any disputes arising in connection with this Agreement through good
faith consultation. In the event that Executive and the Company are not able to resolve any such disputes within 15 days after notification in writing to the other, any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with this Agreement will be
finally settled by binding arbitration in San Francisco, California in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association by one arbitrator mutually agreed upon by the parties. The arbitrator will apply California law, without
reference to rules of conflicts of law or rules of statutory arbitration, to the resolution of any dispute. Except as set forth in Section 9(i) below, the arbitrator shall not have authority to modify the terms of this Agreement. The Company
shall pay the costs of the arbitration proceeding. Each party shall, unless otherwise determined by the arbitrator, bear its or his or her own attorneys’ fees and expenses, provided however that if Executive prevails in an arbitration
proceeding, the Company shall reimburse Executive for his or her reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Company and Executive may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for preliminary or interim equitable relief, or to compel arbitration in accordance with this paragraph, without breach of this arbitration provision. 

8. Definition of Terms. The following terms referred to in this Agreement shall have the following meanings: 

(a) Cause. “Cause” for termination of Executive’s employment will exist if Executive is terminated by the Company
for any of the following reasons: (i) Executive’s willful failure substantially to perform his or her duties and responsibilities to the Company or deliberate violation of a Company policy; (ii) Executive’s commission of any act
of fraud, 

  
 5. 

 
embezzlement, dishonesty or any other willful misconduct that has caused or is reasonably expected to result in material injury to the Company; (iii) unauthorized use or disclosure by
Executive of any proprietary information or trade secrets of the Company or any other party to whom Executive owes an obligation of nondisclosure as a result of his or her relationship with the Company; or (iv) Executive’s willful breach
of any of his or her obligations under any written agreement or covenant with the Company. The determination as to whether Executive is being terminated for Cause shall be made in good faith by the Company and shall be final and binding on
Executive. The term “Company” will be interpreted to include any subsidiary, parent or affiliate of the Company, as appropriate. 

(b) Change in Control. “Change in Control” shall have the meaning set forth in the Company’s 2014 Equity
Incentive Plan, as it may be amended from time to time; provided that to the extent required for compliance with Section 409A of the Code, in no event will a Change in Control be deemed to have occurred if such transaction is not also a
“change in the ownership or effective control of” the Company or “a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of” the Company as determined under Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-3(i)(5) (without
regard to any alternative definition thereunder). 
 (c) Good Reason. “Good Reason” for Executive’s resignation
of his or her employment shall exist following the occurrence of any of the following without Executive’s written consent: (i) a material reduction in job duties, responsibilities or authority inconsistent with the Executive’s
position with the Company; provided, however, that any such reduction or change after a Change in Control will not constitute Good Reason if Executive retains reasonably comparable duties, position and responsibilities with respect to
the Company’s business within the successor entity following a Change of Control; (ii) a material reduction of Executive’s then current base salary, representing a reduction of more than 10% of the Executive’s then current base
salary; provided, that an across-the-board reduction in the salary level of all executive officers of the Company by the same percentage amount as part of a general salary level reduction shall not constitute such a material salary reduction;
(iii) the relocation of Executive’s principal place of employment to a place that increases Executive’s one-way commute by more than 50 miles as compared to Executive’s then current principal place of employment immediately prior
to such relocation; (iv) any material breach by the Company of this Agreement or any other written agreement between the Company and the Executive; or (v) the failure by any successor to the Company to assume this Agreement or any
obligations under this Agreement; provided, that the Executive gives written notice to the Company of the event forming the basis of the termination for Good Reason within 30 days after the date on which the Company gives written notice to
the Executive of the Company’s affirmative decision to take an action set forth in clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) above, the Company fails to cure such basis for the Good Reason resignation within 30 days after receipt of
Executive’s written notice and Executive terminates his or her employment within 30 days following the expiration of the cure period. 

9. Miscellaneous Provisions. 

(a) Executive Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, payment of any of the CIC Benefits or Severance
Benefits will be conditioned upon (i) Executive continuing to comply with his or her obligations under the Proprietary Information 

  
 6. 

 
and Inventions Agreement (or such similar form that Executive previously executed in connection with his or her employment employment) during the period of time in which Executive is receiving
the CIC Benefits or Severance Benefits; and (ii) Executive’s resignation from all positions with the Company, any subsidiaries and affiliates, and the Board (as applicable), to be effective no later than the date of Separation from Service
(or such other date as determined by the Board). 
 (b) Income and Employment Taxes. All amounts paid or provided under this
Agreement shall be net of required withholdings, and Executive shall be responsible for any additional taxes of any nature (including any penalties or interest that may apply to such taxes) that the Company reasonably determines apply to any payment
made hereunder. Executive’s receipt of any benefit hereunder is conditioned on his or her satisfaction of any applicable withholding or similar obligations that apply to such benefit and any cash payment owed hereunder will be reduced to
satisfy any such withholding or similar obligations that may apply. 
 (c) Alternative Method of Providing COBRA Benefit. If the
Company determines, in its sole discretion, that the Company cannot pay COBRA Premiums as provided in Section 2(a) or 2(b) without potentially incurring financial costs or penalties under applicable law (including, without limitation,
Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), the Company shall in lieu thereof pay Executive a taxable cash amount, which payment shall be made regardless of whether Executive or Executive’s eligible family members elect health care
continuation coverage (the “Health Care Benefit Payment”). The Health Care Benefit Payment shall be paid in monthly installments on the same schedule and over the same time period that the COBRA Premiums would otherwise have been
paid on behalf of the Executive. The Health Care Benefit Payment shall be equal to the amount that the Company would have otherwise paid for COBRA Premiums (which amount shall be calculated based on the premium for the first month of coverage), and
shall be paid until the expiration of the CIC COBRA Period or the Severance COBRA Period, as applicable. 
 (d) No Duty to Mitigate.
Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment contemplated by this Agreement, nor shall any such payment be reduced by any earnings that Executive may receive from any other source. 

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

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

  
 7. 

 (g) Integration. This Agreement supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements,
whether written or oral, with respect to this Agreement; provided that, for clarification purposes, this Agreement shall not affect any agreements between the Company and Executive regarding intellectual property matters, non-solicitation or
non-competition restrictions or confidential information of the Company. 
 (h) Choice of Law. The validity, interpretation,
construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal substantive laws, but not the conflicts of law rules, of the State of California. 

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

(k) Legal Fees and Expenses. The parties shall each bear their own expenses, legal fees and other fees incurred in connection with the
execution of this Agreement. 
 (l) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an
original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

In consideration of receiving certain benefits under my Change in Control and Severance Agreement with New Relic, Inc. (the
“Company”) dated [            , 2014] (the “Agreement”), I have agreed to sign this Release. I understand that I am not entitled to benefits under the
Agreement unless I sign this Release. 
 I understand that this Release, together with the Agreement, constitutes the complete, final and
exclusive embodiment of the entire agreement between the Company, affiliates of the Company and me with regard to the subject matter hereof. I am not relying on any promise or representation by the Company that is not expressly stated therein.
Certain capitalized terms used in this Release are defined in the Agreement. 
 I hereby confirm my obligations under my Proprietary
Information and Inventions Agreement (or such similar form that I previously executed in connection with my employment) with the Company. 

Except as otherwise set forth in this Release, I hereby generally and completely release the Company and its current and former directors,
officers, executives, shareholders, shareholders, partners, agents, attorneys, predecessors, successors, parent and subsidiary entities, insurers, affiliates, and assigns (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from any and all

Released Claims include, but are not limited to: (1) all claims arising out of or in any way related to my employment with the Company or its affiliates, or the termination of that employment; (2) all claims related to my compensation or
benefits, including salary, bonuses, commissions, vacation pay, expense reimbursements, severance pay, fringe benefits, stock, stock options, or any other ownership interests in the Company or its affiliates; (3) all claims for breach of
contract, wrongful termination, and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing; (4) all tort claims, including claims for fraud, defamation, emotional distress, and discharge in violation of public policy; and (5) all
federal, state, and local statutory claims, including claims for discrimination, harassment, retaliation, attorneys’ fees, or other claims arising under the federal Civil Rights Act of 1964 (as amended), the federal Americans with Disabilities

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following are not included in the Released Claims (the “Excluded Claims”): (1) any rights or claims for indemnification I may have pursuant to any written indemnification agreement with the
Company to which I am a party, the charter or

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

I acknowledge that I am knowingly and voluntarily waiving and releasing any rights I may have under the ADEA. I also acknowledge that the
consideration given for the Released Claims is in addition to anything of value to which I was already entitled. I further acknowledge that I have been advised by this writing, as required by the ADEA, that: (a) the Released Claims do not apply
to any rights or claims that arise after the date I sign this Release; (b) I should consult with an attorney prior to signing this Release (although I may choose voluntarily not to do so); (c) I have forty-five (45) days to consider

I have received with this Release all of the information required by the ADEA, including without limitation a detailed list of the job titles
and ages of all employees who were terminated in this group termination and the ages of all employees of the Company in the same job classification or organizational unit who were not terminated, along with information on the eligibility factors
used to select employees for the group termination and any time limits applicable to this group termination program. 
 I acknowledge that I
have read and understand Section 1542 of the California Civil Code which reads as follows: “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 or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.” I hereby expressly waive and relinquish all rights and benefits under that section and any law of any jurisdiction of similar
effect with respect to my release of any claims hereunder. 
 I hereby represent that I have been paid all compensation owed and for all
hours worked, I have received all the leave and leave benefits and protections for which I am eligible, and I have not suffered any on-the-job injury for which I have not already filed a workers’ compensation claim.

 I hereby confirm my obligations under my Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement (or such similar form
that I previously executed in connection with my employment) with the Company. 
 Except as otherwise set forth in this Release, I hereby
generally and completely release the Company and its current and former directors, officers, executives, shareholders, shareholders, partners, agents, attorneys, predecessors, successors, parent and subsidiary entities, insurers, affiliates, and
assigns (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from any and all claims, liabilities and obligations, both known and unknown, that arise out of or are in any way related to events, acts, conduct, or omissions occurring prior to my
signing this Release (collectively, the “Released Claims”). The Released Claims include, but are not limited to: (1) all claims arising out of or in any way related to my employment with the Company or its affiliates, or the
termination of that employment; (2) all claims related to my compensation or benefits, including salary, bonuses, commissions, vacation pay, expense reimbursements, severance pay, fringe benefits, stock, stock options, or any other ownership
interests in the Company or its affiliates; (3) all claims for breach of contract, wrongful termination, and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing; (4) all tort claims, including claims for fraud, defamation,
emotional distress, and discharge in violation of public policy; and (5) all federal, state, and local statutory claims, including claims for discrimination, harassment, retaliation, attorneys’ fees, or other claims arising under the
federal Civil Rights Act of 1964 (as amended), the federal Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the federal Executive Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (as amended), and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (as amended).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following are not included in the Released Claims (the “Excluded Claims”): (1) any rights or claims for indemnification I may have pursuant to any written indemnification agreement with the
Company to which I am a party, the charter or bylaws of the Company, or under applicable law; (2) any rights related to vested securities of the Company that were granted to me during the course of my employment with the Company or any shares
of capital stock or other securities of the Company that I purchased other than pursuant to a Company stock option or stock plan; or (3) any rights which are not waivable as a matter of law. In addition, nothing in this Release prevents me from
filing, cooperating with, or participating in any proceeding before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Department of Labor, the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing,

or any other local, state, or federal administrative body or government agency that is authorized to enforce or administer laws related to employment, against the Company, except that I hereby
waive my right to any monetary benefits in connection with any such claim, charge or proceeding. I hereby represent and warrant that, other than the Excluded Claims, I am not aware of any claims I have or might have against any of the Released
Parties that are not included in the Released Claims. 
 I acknowledge that I have read and understand Section 1542 of the California
Civil Code which reads as follows: “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 or her must have materially
affected his or her settlement with the debtor.” I hereby expressly waive and relinquish all rights and benefits under that section and any law of any jurisdiction of similar effect with respect to my release of any claims hereunder. 

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

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

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