Dear Mark: 
 On behalf of Cyan,
Inc. (the “Company”), I am pleased to offer you the Full-Time position of Chief Executive Officer of the Company. 
 The terms of your new position with the Company are as set forth below: 
 1.
Position. 
 (a) As Chief Executive Officer, you will serve in an executive capacity and shall perform the duties
commonly associated with this position and as required by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). You will report to the Board. You will work at the Company’s corporate headquarters, which are currently located in
Petaluma, California, subject to business travel. You acknowledge that, as an express condition of this letter agreement, you will relocate your residence to the San Francisco Bay Area within Six months following your Start Date. 

(b) You agree to the best of your ability and experience that you will at all times loyally and conscientiously perform all of the duties
and obligations required of and from you pursuant to the express and implicit terms hereof, and to the reasonable satisfaction of the Board. During the term of your employment, you further agree that you will devote all of your business time and
attention to the business of the Company, the Company will be entitled to all of the benefits and profits arising from or incident to all such work services and advice, you will not render commercial or professional services of any nature to any
person or organization, whether or not for compensation, without the prior consent of the Board, and you will not directly or indirectly engage or participate in any business that is competitive in any manner with the business of the Company.
Nothing in this letter agreement will prevent you from accepting speaking or presentation engagements in exchange for honoraria or from serving on boards of charitable organizations, or from owning no more than one percent (1%) of the
outstanding equity securities of a corporation whose stock is listed on a national stock exchange. Subject to the restrictions set forth herein and with the prior consent of the Board, you may serve as a director of other corporations or
organizations; provided, however, that the Board may rescind such consent if the Board, in its sole discretion, determines that such service compromises or threatens to compromise the Company’s business interests or conflicts with your duties
to the Company. 
 (c) Your employment relationship with the Company will also be governed by the general employment policies
and practices of the Company (except that if the terms of this letter agreement differ from or are in conflict with such policies or practices, this letter agreement will control). The Company may modify its employment policies and practices from
time to time in its discretion. 

 2. Start Date. Subject to fulfillment of any conditions imposed by this letter
agreement, you will commence this new position with the Company on or before May 28, 2012 (the “Start Date”). 
 3. Proof of Right to Work. For purposes of federal immigration law, you will be required to provide to the Company documentary evidence of your identity and eligibility for employment in the
United States. Such documentation must be provided to us within three (3) business days of your date of hire, or our employment relationship with you may be terminated. 
 4. Compensation. 
 (a) You will be paid a monthly salary of
$22,916.67 which is equivalent to $275,000 on an annualized basis (the “Base Salary”), subject to standard payroll deductions and withholdings. Your salary will be payable biweekly pursuant to the Company’s regular payroll
policy. The Base Salary and your overall compensation package will be reviewed annually by the Board (or any authorized committee thereof), and are subject to change in the discretion of the Board (or any authorized committee thereof). You
acknowledge and agree that the $3,000 per month payments you have been receiving from the Company for your service as an outside board director will cease once you commence your employment with the Company. 

(b) You will be eligible to earn a cash bonus in the amount of up to $120,000 at the end of the fiscal year based on factors to be
determined by the Board. It is anticipated that 25% of this bonus amount will be payable based on criteria that will be established by the Board within the first sixty (60) days following your Start Date. As a condition precedent to earning and
receiving the bonus referenced in this paragraph, you must remain an employee with the Company through the date the bonus otherwise is scheduled to be paid.

Stock Option Agreement between you and the Company.
