 Exhibit 10.1 

AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 

This AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of July 25, 2014 (the
“Effective Date”), by and between KORN/FERRY INTERNATIONAL, a Delaware corporation with its principal offices in Los Angeles, California (the “Company”), and GARY BURNISON, an individual (the “Executive). The
parties previously entered into an Employment Agreement dated June 30, 2007 (the “Prior Agreement”). This Agreement is an amendment and complete restatement, and supersedes in the entirety, the Prior Agreement. 

1. Employment. The Company agrees to continue to employ Executive and Executive agrees to be employed by the Company, without
interruption, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. 
 2. At-Will Employment. Executive’s employment under
this Agreement commences on the Effective Date. Executive’s employment shall be on an at will basis and, subject to compliance with this Agreement, the Company may terminate Executive’s employment, with or without Cause (as defined in
Section 6(i) of this Agreement), for any reason or no reason and with or without advance notice, upon a resolution adopted by a majority of the then-serving members of the Board other than Executive, and Executive may terminate his employment
at any time, for any or no reason, with or without Good Reason (as defined in Section 6(i) of this Agreement) upon thirty (30) days advance written notice to the Company. Sections 9, 10, 11 and 13 shall survive any termination of this
Agreement or of Executive’s employment hereunder. 
 3. Position, Duties and Responsibilities. Executive will serve as Chief
Executive Officer with duties and responsibilities customary to such offices and shall report to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). At the request of the Board, Executive will serve as an officer or director of the
Company’s subsidiaries and other affiliates without additional compensation. Executive will devote substantially all of Executive’s business time and attention to the performance of Executive’s obligations, duties and responsibilities
under this Agreement. Subject to Company policies applicable to senior executives generally, Executive may engage in personal, charitable, professional and investment activities to the extent such activities do not conflict or interfere with
Executive’s obligations to, or Executive’s ability to perform the normal duties and functions of Executive pursuant to this Agreement. Executive shall be subject to, and comply with, all Company policies covering him, including, without
limitation, the Company’s clawback policy as in effect from time to time. Executive will be nominated for election to the Board prior to the next annual shareholders’ meeting of the Company. 

4. Annual Compensation. In consideration of Executive’s services to the Company pursuant to this Agreement, Executive’s
annual compensation shall be as follows: 
 (a) Base Salary. Executive shall be entitled to receive a base salary of $75,833.33 per
month (his “Base Salary”) ($910,000 on an annualized basis) (such annualized amount, his “Annual Base Salary”), paid in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices. The Board will review the level
of Executive’s Base Salary at least annually, beginning in June 2016. The Board, acting in its discretion, may increase (but may not decrease) Executive’s Base Salary 

 
at any time, unless the Board concludes that an across-the-board reduction in compensation is required for all executive officers of the Company, in which case Executive’s compensation shall
be ratably reduced. 
 (b) Annual Cash Incentive Award. Executive will participate in the Company’s annual cash incentive plan
established for senior executives with an annual target cash award equal to 100% of Executive’s Annual Base Salary, with the ability to earn additional amounts up to a maximum cash award equal to 200% of Executive’s Annual Base Salary.
Executive’s annual cash incentive award will be payable at such time as annual cash incentive awards are paid to executive officers generally, but not later than 120 days after the end of the fiscal year for which such award is earned. The
annual performance targets for the cash award shall be set by the Compensation and Personnel Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) in its discretion based on competitive compensation peer market data. 

(c) Equity Incentive Program. Executive shall be awarded, subject to the approval of the Compensation Committee, equity incentives with
respect to shares of the Company’s common stock (“Shares”), which shall be granted under the Korn/Ferry International Amended and Restated 2008 Stock Incentive Plan, as the same may be amended from time to time (or a successor
plan). Such annual equity incentives shall be awarded at the same time annual equity grants are awarded to the Company’s other executive officers, beginning with grants attributable to performance for the Company’s 2014 fiscal year. The
terms of any equity incentives granted shall be set by the Compensation Committee in its discretion based on the performance of the Company and Executive and competitive compensation peer market data. 

5. Employee Benefit Programs and Perquisites. 

(a) General. Executive will be entitled to participate in such retirement or pension plans, group health, long term disability and group
life insurance plans, and any other welfare and fringe benefit plans, arrangements, programs and perquisites sponsored or maintained by the Company from time to time for the benefit of its senior executives generally, including four weeks paid
vacation. 
 (b) Reimbursement of Business Expenses. Executive is authorized to incur reasonable expenses in accordance with the
Company’s written policy in carrying out Executive’s duties and responsibilities under this Agreement. The Company will promptly reimburse Executive for all such expenses that are so incurred upon presentation of appropriate vouchers or
receipts, subject to the Company’s expense reimbursement policies applicable to senior executive officers generally. 
 (c)
Conditions of Employment. Executive’s place of employment will be at the Company’s corporate headquarters in Los Angeles, California, subject to the need for reasonable business travel. The conditions of Executive’s employment,
including, without limitation, office space, office appointments, secretarial, administrative and other support, will be consistent with Executive’s status as Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

 6. Termination of Employment. 

(a) Death. If Executive’s employment with the Company terminates by reason of Executive’s death, then the Company will pay to
Executive’s estate Executive’s “Accrued Compensation” (as defined in Section 6(i)) within 30 days after Executive’s termination (with the payment date during such 30 day period to be determined by the Company in its
discretion), and all outstanding stock options and other equity-type incentives held by Executive (but expressly excluding performance-based restricted stock unit awards and other performance-based equity compensation awards (collectively, the
“Performance Shares”)) and all of Executive’s benefits under the Executive Capital Accumulation Plan at the time of Executive’s death will become fully vested and shall remain exercisable until the earlier of (A) the date
that is two (2) years after the date of Executive’s death or (B) its originally scheduled expiration date. Additionally, Executive’s estate shall be entitled to a pro rata portion of Executive’s target annual cash incentive
award established for the fiscal year in which Executive’s employment terminates due to death (based on the proportion that the number of days of Executive’s actual service to the Company during such fiscal year bears to the number of days
in such fiscal year). Executive’s estate shall also be entitled to receive the number of Performance Shares that would have been earned if Executive had served the Company for the entire Performance Period and the Company’s performance
during such period had been the target performance for the Performance Period. To the extent Executive’s covered dependent(s) continue to participate in the Company’s group health plan(s) after Executive’s death pursuant to COBRA,
unless prohibited by applicable law, the Company will provide reimbursement of COBRA coverage premiums paid by Executive’s covered dependent(s) so that such covered dependent(s) enjoy coverage at the same benefit level and to the same extent
and for the same effective contribution, if any, as participation is available to other executive officers of the Company, for as long as such coverage is available under COBRA. 

(b) Disability. If the Company terminates Executive’s employment by reason of Executive’s Disability (as defined in
Section 6(i)), then the Company will pay to Executive his Accrued Compensation within 30 days after Executive’s termination (with the payment date during such 30 day period to be determined by the Company in its discretion) and all
outstanding stock options and other equity-type incentives (but expressly excluding Performance Shares) held by Executive and all of Executive’s benefits under the Executive Capital Accumulation Plan at Executive’s termination date will
become fully vested and shall remain exercisable until the date that is the earlier of (A) two (2) years after the date Executive’s employment terminates and (B) its original scheduled expiration date. Additionally, Executive
shall be entitled to a pro rata portion of Executive’s target annual cash incentive award established for the fiscal year in which Executive’s employment terminates due to disability (based on the proportion that the number of days during
such fiscal year prior to the date of termination bears to the number of days in such fiscal year). Executive shall also be entitled to receive the number of Performance Shares that would have been earned if Executive had served the Company for the
entire Performance Period and the Company’s performance during such period had been the target performance for the Performance Period. To the extent Executive and/or Executive’s covered dependent(s) continue to participate in the
Company’s group health plan(s) pursuant to COBRA after Executive’s termination of employment by reason of Disability, unless prohibited by applicable law, the Company will provide reimbursement of COBRA coverage premiums paid by Executive
and Executive’s dependent(s) so that Executive and Executive’s covered dependent(s) enjoy 

  
 3 

 
coverage at the same benefit level and to the same extent and for the same effective contribution, if any, as participation is available to other executive officers of the Company, for as long as
such coverage is available under COBRA. 
 (c) Termination by the Company for Cause or Voluntary Termination by Executive. If
(i) the Company terminates Executive’s employment for Cause (as defined in Section 6(i)), or (ii) Executive voluntarily terminates Executive’s employment without Good Reason (as defined in Section 6(i)), then the
Company shall pay to Executive his Accrued Compensation through the date Executive’s employment terminates within 30 days after the date of such termination (with the payment date during such 30 day period to be determined by the Company in its
discretion). 
 (d) Termination by the Company Without Cause or by Executive for Good Reason Prior to Change in Control or More Than 12
Months After a Change in Control. If Executive’s employment is terminated prior to a “Change in Control” (as defined in Schedule A), or more than 12 months after the date on which a Change in Control occurs, (i) by the
Company without Cause and for a reason other than Executive’s Death or Disability, or (ii) by Executive for Good Reason, then the Company shall pay to Executive his Accrued Compensation, such payment to be made within 30 days after
Executive’s termination (with the payment date during such 30 day period to be determined by the Company in its discretion) and a pro rata portion of Executive’s annual cash incentive award that Executive would have received for the fiscal
year in which Executive’s employment terminates (based on the Company’s actual performance over the entire year and the number of days of Executive’s actual service to the Company during such fiscal year), which pro rata portion will
be payable to Executive at the same time bonuses are paid to executives generally for the applicable fiscal year, and 
 (1)
the Company shall pay to Executive, in the aggregate, cash payments equal to the sum of one and one-half times Executive’s then current Annual Base Salary and one and one-half times Executive’s target annual cash bonus, and such sum shall
be payable in equal monthly installments over a period of twelve (12) months after the date Executive’s employment terminates; 

(2) for up to eighteen (18) months after such termination, to the extent Executive and/or Executive’s covered
dependent(s) continue to participate in the Company’s group health plan(s) pursuant to COBRA after Executive’s termination of employment, unless prohibited by applicable law, the Company will provide reimbursement of COBRA coverage
premiums paid by Executive and Executive’s covered dependent(s) so that Executive and Executive’s covered dependent(s) enjoy coverage at the same benefit level and to the same extent and for the same effective contribution, if any, as
participation is available to other executive officers of the Company; 
 (3) all outstanding stock options and other
equity-type incentives held by Executive and all of Executive’s benefits under the Executive Capital Accumulation Plan at the time of Executive’s termination (but expressly excluding Performance Shares) that would have vested in the twelve
(12) months following the date Executive’s employment terminates (in each case, as if such options, incentives and benefits permitted proportionate vesting in monthly increments rather than any longer increment) will

  
 4 

 
become fully vested as of the date Executive’s employment terminates and shall remain exercisable until the date that is the earlier of (x) two (2) years after the date
Executive’s employment terminates and (y) its originally scheduled expiration date; and 
 (4) Executive shall
receive, from then-outstanding Performance Share awards, granted on or after the Effective Date (such then-outstanding Performance Share awards granted before the Effective Date to be covered by the Prior Agreement), a number of Performance Shares
equal to the product of (A) the Performance Shares that would have been earned if Executive had served the Company for the entire Performance Period based on the Company’s actual performance over the entire Performance Period, and
(B) a fraction, (x) the numerator of which fraction shall be the sum of (i) the number of days of Executive’s employment during the Performance Period and (ii) 365 (provided that the numerator shall not exceed the number of
days in the Performance Period) and (y) the denominator of which fraction shall be the number of days in the Performance Period, and such Performance Shares will be payable to Executive at the same time Performance Shares are paid to executives
generally for the applicable Performance Period. 
 (e) Following a Change in Control, Termination by the Company Without Cause or by
Executive for Good Reason. If a Change in Control occurs and, within 12 months after the date on which the Change in Control occurs, Executive’s employment is terminated (i) by the Company without Cause or (ii) by Executive for
Good Reason, then the Company shall pay to Executive his Accrued Compensation, such payment to be made within 30 days after Executive’s termination (with the payment date during such 30 day period to be determined by the Company in its
discretion), and a pro rata portion of Executive’s target annual cash incentive award established for the fiscal year in which Executive’s employment terminates (based on the number of days of Executive’s actual service to the Company
during such fiscal year), and 
 (1) the Company shall pay to Executive, in the aggregate, cash payments equal to the sum of
two (2) times Executive’s then current Annual Base Salary and two (2) times Executive’s target annual cash bonus, and such sum shall be payable in equal monthly installments over a period of twelve (12) months after the date
Executive’s employment terminates; 
 (2) for up to eighteen (18) months after such termination, to the extent
Executive and/or Executive’s covered dependent(s) continue to participate in the Company’s group health plan(s) pursuant to COBRA after Executive’s termination of employment, unless prohibited by applicable law, the Company will
provide reimbursement of COBRA coverage premiums paid by Executive and Executive’s dependent(s) so that Executive and Executive’s covered dependent(s) enjoy coverage at the same benefit level and to the same extent and for the same
effective contribution, if any, as participation is available to other executive officers of the Company; for the six (6) months thereafter, if continuing coverage under the Company’s group health plan(s) is not available under COBRA, upon
the written request of Executive at any time prior to or during such six (6) month period, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to secure continuing coverage for Executive and/or Executive’s covered dependent(s) under the
Company’s group health plan(s), or if such coverage is unavailable, substantially similar coverage through an alternative health plan provider, 

  
 5 

 
and in either case in which such coverage is obtained, unless prohibited by applicable law, the Company will reimburse Executive and Executive’s covered dependent(s) for a portion of the
cost of such coverage equal to the amount that the Company would have paid Executive and Executive’s covered dependents had Executive and Executive’s covered dependent(s) been eligible for COBRA coverage and the Company was obligated to
provide reimbursement of COBRA coverage premiums paid by Executive and Executive’s dependent(s) so that Executive and Executive’s covered dependent(s) could enjoy coverage at a substantially similar benefit level and for the same effective
contribution, if any, as participation is available to other executive officers of the Company; 
 (3) all outstanding stock
options and other equity-type incentives held by Executive and all of Executive’s benefits under the Executive Capital Accumulation Plan at the time of Executive’s termination (but expressly excluding Performance Shares) will become fully
vested and shall remain exercisable until the date that is the earlier of (x) two (2) years after the date Executive’s employment terminates and (y) its originally scheduled expiration date; 

(4) Executive shall receive, from then-outstanding Performance Share awards granted on or after the Effective Date (such
then-outstanding Performance Share awards granted before the Effective Date to be covered by the Prior Agreement), a number of Performance Shares equal to the product of (A) the greater of the target number of Performance Shares so granted or
the number of Performance Shares that would have been earned if Executive had served the Company for the entire Performance Period and the Company’s performance during such period had been the Company’s actual performance for the entire
Performance Period as reasonably projected by the Committee immediately prior to the Change in Control, and (B) a fraction, (x) the numerator of which fraction shall be the number of days between the start of the Performance Period and the
effective date of the Change in Control and (y) the denominator of which fraction shall be the number of days in the Performance Period; and 

(5) Executive shall receive, from then-outstanding Performance Share awards granted on or after the Effective Date (such
then-outstanding Performance Share awards granted before the Effective Date to be covered by the Prior Agreement), a number of Performance Shares equal to the product of (A) the Performance Shares that would have been earned if Executive had
served the Company for the entire Performance Period and the Company’s performance during such period had been the target performance for the Performance Period, and (B) a fraction, (x) the numerator of which fraction shall the number
of days between the effective date of the Change in Control and the end of the Performance Period and (y) the denominator of which fraction shall be the number of days in the Performance Period. 

(f) Section 4999. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event it shall be determined that any
payment, award, benefit or distribution (or any acceleration of any payment, award, benefit or distribution) by the Company (or any of its affiliated entities) or any entity which effectuates a Change in Control (or any of its affiliated entities)
to or for the benefit of Executive (whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise) (a 

  
 6 

 
“Payment”) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or interest or penalties with respect
to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”), then such Payments shall either (a) be delivered in full, or (b) subject to, and
in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, be reduced to the minimum extent necessary to ensure that no portion thereof will be subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account
the applicable federal, state or local income and employment taxes and the Excise Tax, results in receipt by Executive, on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such benefits may be
subject to the Excise Tax. In the event that any Payments are to be reduced pursuant to this Section 6(f), then the reduction shall be applied as follows: (i) first, on a pro rata basis to Executive’s cash severance payments and his
pro rata annual cash incentive award payment for the year of termination, (ii) second, on a pro rata basis to Executive’s equity incentive awards and (iii) third, to Executive’s benefits under the Executive Capital Accumulation
Plan. The determinations to be made with respect to this Section 6(f) shall be made by an accounting firm (the “Auditor”) jointly selected by the Company and Executive and paid by the Company. The Auditor shall be a nationally
recognized United States public accounting firm that has not during the two years preceding the date of its selection acted in any way on behalf of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. If Executive and the Company cannot agree on the firm to
serve as the Auditor, then Executive and the Company shall each select one such accounting firm and those two firms shall jointly select such an accounting firm to serve as the Auditor. Absent manifest error, the determinations by the Auditor shall
be binding upon the Company and Executive. 
 (g) Other Programs. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Executive’s
entitlements under applicable plans and programs of the Company following termination of Executive’s employment will be determined under the terms of those plans and programs, except that Executive shall not be entitled to severance or salary
continuation benefits under any severance or salary continuation plan. 
 (h) Conditions to Receipt of Benefits Under Section 6.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, other than the payment of Executive’s Accrued Compensation through the date of termination of Executive’s employment, Executive shall not be entitled to any payments or benefits
under this Section 6 unless and until Executive (or the representative of Executive’s estate, in the case of termination due to Executive’s death), executes and delivers to the Company, within thirty (30) days after the date of
termination of Executive’s employment, a unilateral general release of all known and unknown claims against the Company and its officers, directors, employees, agents and affiliates in a form acceptable to the Company, and such release becomes
fully effective and irrevocable under applicable law. Additionally, Executive shall not be entitled to payments and benefits under this Section 6 on or after the date, if any, during the twelve (12) months following the date
Executive’s employment terminates (the “Restricted Period”), that Executive (1) breaches or otherwise fails to comply with any of Executive’s obligations under Section 9(a) (Nondisclosure of Confidential Information) or
Section 10 (Nonsolicitation) under this Agreement, or (2) Executive elects to, directly or indirectly, (a) own, manage, operate, sell, control or participate in the ownership, management, operation, sales or control of any of the
following: Heidrick & Struggles, Manpower, Kelly Services, Spencer Stuart, Russell Reynolds, Egon Zehnder and/or Spherion (each a “Listed Entity”) provided that 

  
 7 

 
the foregoing shall not be applicable to the ownership of not more than 1% of the publicly traded equity securities of any of the foregoing or to the indirect ownership of any of the foregoing
through the ownership of mutual funds; or (b) request or advise any of the clients, vendors or other business contacts of the Company with which Executive had contact while employed by the Company to withdraw, curtail, cancel or not increase
their business with the Company. Executive agrees to notify the Company of each employment or consulting engagement he accepts during the Restricted Period (including the name and address of the hiring party) and will, upon request by the Company,
describe in reasonable detail the nature of his duties in each such position. 
 (i) Certain Definitions. For purposes of this
Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth herein: 
 (1) “Accrued Compensation” means, as of
any date, the amount of any unpaid Base Salary and annual cash incentive award earned by Executive through the date of Executive’s death or the termination of Executive’s employment (it being understood and agreed that no portion of the
annual cash incentive award described in Section 4(b) shall be deemed earned unless Executive was employed with the Company as of the last day of the fiscal year to which such award applies). 

(2) “Cause” shall mean (a) conviction of any felony or other crime involving fraud, dishonesty or acts of moral
turpitude or pleading guilty or nolo contendere to such charges, or (b) reckless or intentional behavior or conduct that causes or is reasonably likely to cause the Company material harm or injury or exposes or is reasonably likely to expose
the Company to any material civil, criminal or administrative liability, or (c) any material misrepresentation or false statement made by Executive in any application for employment, employment history, resume or other document submitted to the
Company, either before, during or after employment. Prior to terminating the Executive for Cause, the Company shall be required to provide Executive with 90 days advanced written notice of its intention to terminate Executive for Cause, but
Executive shall be permitted to cure any performance deficiencies during such 90 day period (if the termination is not due to performance deficiencies, then the Company is permitted to put Executive on paid leave during such 90 day period). 

(3) “Disability” means any medically determinable physical or mental condition or impairment which prevents Executive
from performing the principal functions of Executive’s duties with the Company that can be expected to result in death or that has lasted or can be expected to last for a period of 90 consecutive days or for shorter periods aggregating 180 days
in any consecutive 12 month period, with such determination to be made by an approved medical doctor. For this purpose, an approved medical doctor shall mean a medical doctor selected by the Company and Executive. If the parties cannot agree on a
medical doctor, each party shall select a medical doctor and the two doctors shall select a third medical doctor who shall be the approved medical doctor for this purpose. 

  
 8 

 (4) Executive shall be deemed to have “Good Reason” to terminate his
employment hereunder if, without Executive’s prior written consent, (A) the Company materially reduces Executive’s duties or responsibilities as Chief Executive Officer or assigns Executive duties which are materially inconsistent
with his duties or which materially impair Executive’s ability to function as Chief Executive Officer, or (B) the Company reduces Executive’s then current Base Salary or target annual incentive award under the Company’s annual
cash incentive bonus plan (in each case, other than as part of an across-the-board reduction applicable to all executive officers of the Company), or (C) the Company fails to perform or breaches its obligations under any other material
provision of this Agreement, or (D) Executive’s primary location of business is moved by more than 50 miles (other than a relocation to New York, New York based on management’s decision, made after Board consultation, provided that
Executive receives from the Company reimbursement of all customary and reasonable expenses of such relocation, including without limitation temporary living expenses for a period of 6 months), or (E) the Company reduces Executive’s title
of Chief Executive Officer or removes him, or (F) the Company fails to obtain the assumption in writing of its obligation to perform this Agreement by any successor to all or substantially all of the assets of the Company within 15 days after a
merger, consolidation, sale or similar transaction. Prior to terminating for Good Reason, the Executive shall be required to provide the Company with 30 days advanced written notice of his intention to terminate employment for Good Reason, but the
Company shall be permitted to cure any events giving rise to such Good Reason during such 30 day period. 
 7. Application of
Section 409A. It is intended that this Agreement will comply with Section 409A of the Code and any regulations and guidelines promulgated thereunder (collectively, “Section 409A”), to the extent the Agreement is subject
thereto, and the Agreement shall be interpreted on a basis consistent with such intent. Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of this Agreement, to the extent the Company determines in good faith that (a) one or more of the payments or
benefits received or to be received by Executive pursuant to this Agreement in connection with Executive’s termination of employment would constitute deferred compensation subject to the rules of Section 409A, and (b) that Executive
is a “specified employee” under Section 409A, then only to the extent required to avoid the Executive’s incurrence of any additional tax or interest under Section 409A, such payment or benefit will be delayed until the date
which is six (6) months after Executive’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. The Company and Executive agree to negotiate in good faith to reform any provisions of this Agreement to maintain to the
maximum extent practicable the original intent of the applicable provisions without violating the provisions of Section 409A, if the Company deems such reformation necessary or advisable pursuant to guidance under Section 409A to avoid the
incurrence of any such interest and penalties. Such reformation shall not result in a reduction of the aggregate amount of payments or benefits under this Agreement, nor the obligation of the Company to pay interest on any payments delayed for the
purposes of avoiding a violation of Section 409A. If, under the terms of this Agreement, it is possible for a payment that is subject to Section 409A to be made in two separate taxable years, payment shall be made in the later taxable
year. 
 8. No Mitigation; No Offset. Executive will have no obligation to seek other employment or to otherwise mitigate the
Company’s obligations to Executive arising from the termination of Executive’s employment, and no amounts paid or payable to Executive by the Company under this Agreement shall be subject to offset for any remuneration in which

  
 9 

 
Executive may become entitled from any other source after Executive’s employment with the Company terminates, whether attributable to subsequent employment, self-employment or otherwise
except that subsequent employment with an employer providing benefit plans shall result in an offset against benefits payable by the Company hereunder to the extent of the benefits paid by the new employer. 

9. Confidential Information; Cooperation with Regard to Litigation. 

(a) Nondisclosure of Confidential Information. During Executive’s employment and thereafter, Executive will not, without the prior
written consent of the Company, disclose to anyone (except in good faith in the ordinary course of business of the Company to a person who, to Executive’s knowledge, is obligated to keep such information confidential) or make use of any
Confidential Information (as defined below) except in the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder or when required to do so by legal process, by any governmental agency having supervisory authority over the business of the Company or any of
its Affiliates (as defined below) or by any administrative or legislative body (including a committee thereof) that requires Executive to divulge, disclose or make accessible such information. If Executive is so ordered, to divulge Confidential
Information, he will give prompt written notice to the Company in order to allow the Company the opportunity to object to or otherwise resist such order. 

(b) Definition of Confidential Information. For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means information
concerning the business of the Company or any corporation or other entity that, directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by or under common control with the Company (an “Affiliate”) relating to any of its or their products,
product development, trade secrets, customers, suppliers, finances, and business plans and strategies. Excluded from the definition of Confidential Information is information (1) that is or becomes part of the public domain, other than through
the breach of this Agreement by Executive or (2) regarding the Company’s business or industry properly acquired by Executive in the course of Executive’s career as an executive in the Company’s industry and independent of
Executive’s employment by the Company. For this purpose, information known or available generally within the trade or industry of the Company or any Affiliate shall be deemed to be known or available to the public and not to be Confidential
Information. 
 (c) Cooperation in Litigation. Executive will cooperate with the Company, during Executive’s employment (and
following Executive’s termination of employment for any reason for a period of two years thereafter), by making Executive reasonably available to testify on behalf of the Company or any Affiliate in any action, suit, or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, and to reasonably assist the Company or any such Affiliate in any such action, suit, or proceeding by providing information and meeting and consulting with the Board or its representatives or
counsel, or representatives or counsel to the Company or any such Affiliate, as reasonably requested; provided, however, that the same does not materially interfere with Executive’s then current professional activities. The
Company will reimburse Executive for all expenses reasonably incurred by Executive in connection with Executive’s provision of testimony or assistance (including the fees of any counsel that may be retained by Executive) and if such assistance
is provided after Executive’s termination of employment, will pay Executive a per diem rate of $2,000. 

  
 10 

 10. Nonsolicitation. Executive shall not induce or solicit, directly or indirectly, any
employee of or consultant to the Company or any Affiliate to terminate such person’s employment or consulting engagement with the Company or any Affiliate during Executive’s employment under this Agreement and for a period of 12 months
following the termination of Executive’s employment for any, or no, reason. 
 11. Remedies. If Executive commits a material
breach of any of the provisions contained in Sections 9 and 10 above, then the Company will have the right to seek injunctive relief. Executive acknowledges that such a breach of Section 9 or 10 could cause irreparable injury and that money
damages may not provide an adequate remedy for the Company. Nothing contained herein will prevent Executive from contesting any such action by the Company on the ground that no violation or threatened violation of either such Section has occurred.

 12. Resolution of Disputes. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any breach or asserted breach
hereof or questioning the validity and binding effect hereof arising under or in connection with this Agreement, other than seeking injunctive relief under Section 11, shall be resolved by binding arbitration, to be held in Los Angeles,
California in accordance with the rules and procedures of the American Arbitration Association. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. All costs and expenses of any arbitration
or court proceeding (including fees and disbursements of counsel) shall be borne by the respective party incurring such costs and expenses, but the Company shall reimburse Executive for all reasonable costs and expenses by Executive if Executive
substantially prevails in such arbitration or court proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any applicable law requires different or additional rules or procedures to be applied in order for this Agreement to arbitrate to be enforceable, or
prohibits any expense allocation provided herein, such rules or procedures shall take precedence and such prohibitions shall be a part of this Agreement to the to the extent necessary to render this Agreement enforceable. 

13. Indemnification. 
 (a)
Company Indemnity. If Executive is made a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he
is or was a director, officer or employee of the Company or any Affiliate or was serving at the request of the Company or any Affiliate as a director, officer, member, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether or not the basis of such Proceeding is Executive’s alleged action in an official capacity while serving as a director, officer, member, employee or agent, then
the Company will indemnify Executive and hold Executive harmless to the fullest extent legally permitted or authorized by the Company’s articles of incorporation, certificate of incorporation or bylaws or resolutions of the Company’s Board
to the extent not inconsistent with state laws, against all costs, expense, liability and loss (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement)
reasonably incurred or suffered by Executive in connection therewith, except to the extent attributable to Executive’s gross negligence or fraud, and such indemnification shall continue as to Executive even if he has ceased to be a director,
member, officer, employee or agent of the Company or Affiliate and shall inure to the benefit of 

  
 11 

 
Executive’s heirs, executors and administrators. The Company will advance to Executive all reasonable costs and expenses to be incurred by Executive in connection with a Proceeding within 20
days after receipt by the Company of a written request for such advance. Such request shall include an undertaking by Executive to repay the amount of such advance if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified
against such costs and expenses. The provisions of this section shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which Executive may be entitled or which may be granted to Executive and shall be in addition to any rights of
indemnification to which he may be entitled under any policy of insurance. 
 (b) No Presumption Regarding Standard of Conduct.
Neither the failure of the Company (including its Board, independent legal counsel or shareholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of any proceeding concerning payment of amounts claimed by Executive under the preceding
subsection (a) of this section that indemnification of Executive is proper because Executive has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor a determination by the Company (including its Board, independent legal counsel or shareholders) that
Executive has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that Executive has not met the applicable standard of conduct. 

(c) Liability Insurance. The Company will continue and maintain a directors and officers liability insurance policy covering Executive
to the extent the Company provides such coverage for its other senior executive officers. 
 14. Effect of Agreement on Other
Benefits. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the existence of this Agreement shall not be interpreted to preclude, prohibit or restrict Executive’s participation in any other employee benefit or other plans or programs in
which he currently participates. 
 15. Expenses of Counsel for Executive. The Company and Executive will each bear their own
respective legal and other expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Company shall reimburse the reasonable legal fees and expenses then incurred by
Executive up to a maximum of $20,000 in the aggregate for all such expenses. 
 16. Assignment; Binding Nature. This Agreement shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors, heirs (in the case of Executive) and permitted assigns. No rights or obligations of the Company under this Agreement may be assigned or transferred by the
Company except that such rights or obligations may be assigned or transferred to the successor of the Company or its business if the assignee or transferee assumes the liabilities, obligations and duties of the Company, as contained in this
Agreement, either contractually or as a matter of law. No rights or obligations of Executive under this Agreement may be assigned or transferred by Executive other than Executive’s rights to compensation and benefits, which may be transferred
only by will or operation of law, except as otherwise specifically provided or permitted hereunder. 

  
 12 

 17. Representations. The Company represents and warrants that it is fully authorized and
empowered to enter into this Agreement and that the performance of its obligations under this Agreement will not violate any Agreement between it and any other person, firm or organization. Executive represents and warrants that there is no legal or
other impediment which would prohibit Executive from entering into this Agreement or which would prevent Executive from fulfilling Executive’s obligations under this Agreement. 

18. Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire understanding and agreement between the parties concerning the subject matter
hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, discussions, negotiations and undertakings, whether written or oral, between the parties with respect thereto. Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 6(d)(4) and
Section 6(e)(4) and (5) hereof, this Agreement supersedes the Prior Agreement in its entirety and the Prior Agreement shall be of no further force and effect. 

19. Amendment or Waiver. No provision in this Agreement may be amended unless such amendment is agreed to in writing and signed by
Executive and an authorized officer of the Company. Except as set forth herein, no delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party shall impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of or
an acquiescence to any breach hereof. No waiver by either party of any breach by the other party of any condition or provision contained in this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of a similar or dissimilar
condition or provision at the same or any prior or subsequent time. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by Executive or an authorized officer of the Company, as the case may be. 

20. Severability. In the event that any provision or portion of this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable for
any reason, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall be unaffected thereby and shall remain in full force and effect to the fullest extent permitted by law. 

21. Survivorship. The respective rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall survive any termination of Executive’s
employment to the extent necessary to the intended preservation of such rights and obligations (including as set forth in Section 1). 

22. Beneficiaries/References. Executive shall be entitled, to the extent permitted under any applicable law, to select and change a
beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any compensation or benefit payable hereunder following Executive’s death by giving the Company written notice thereof. In the event of Executive’s death or a judicial determination of
Executive’s incompetence, reference in this Agreement to Executive shall be deemed, where appropriate, to refer to Executive’s beneficiary, estate or other legal representative. 

23. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of California without
reference to principles of conflict of laws.

counterparts, each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original instrument, and all such counterparts together shall constitute but one agreement. Any such counterpart may contain one or more signature pages. A copy of this Agreement executed
by any party and transmitted by facsimile shall be binding upon the parties as if executed and delivered in person.

For purposes of the foregoing Agreement, a “Change in Control” shall mean any of the following: 

(a) an acquisition by any Person (excluding one or more Excluded Persons) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule
13d-3 under the Exchange Act) or a pecuniary interest (as defined in Section 16a-1(a)(2) of the Exchange Act) in (either comprising “ownership of”) more than 50% of the Common Stock of the Company or voting securities entitled to then
vote generally in the election of directors (“Voting Stock”) of the Company, after giving effect to any new issue in the case of an acquisition from the Company; or 

(b) consummation of a merger, consolidation, or reorganization of the Company or of a sale or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the Company’s consolidated assets as an entirety (collectively, a “Business Combination”), other than a Business Combination (1) in which all or substantially all of the holders of Voting Stock of the Company
hold or receive directly or indirectly 50% or more of the Voting Stock of the entity resulting from the Business Combination (or a parent company), and (2) after which no Person (other than any one or more of the Excluded Persons) owns more
than 50% of the Voting Stock of the resulting entity (or a parent company) who did not own directly or indirectly at least that percentage of the Voting Stock of the Company immediately before the Business Combination, and (3) after which one
or more Excluded Persons own an aggregate amount of Voting Stock of the resulting entity owned by any Persons who (i) own more than 5% of the Voting Stock of the resulting entity, (ii) are not Excluded Persons, (iii) did not own
directly or indirectly at least the same percentage of the Voting Stock of the Company immediately before the Business Combination, and (iv) in the aggregate own more than 50% of the Voting Stock of the resulting entity; or

was previously so approved (all such directors, “Incumbent Directors”), cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the Board; provided that for purposes of this clause (d), any directors elected at any time during 1999 shall be
deemed to be Incumbent Directors. 

 Notwithstanding the above provisions in this Schedule A, no Change in Control shall be deemed to

 Exhibit 10.1 

GIGAMON INC. 
 CHANGE IN
CONTROL SEVERANCE AGREEMENT 
 This Change in Control Severance Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into by
and between Mike Burns (“Executive”) and Gigamon Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), effective as of July 29, 2014 (the “Effective Date”). 

RECITALS 
 1. It is
expected that the Company from time to time will consider the possibility of an acquisition by another company or other change in control. The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) recognizes that such considerations can
be a distraction to Executive and can cause Executive to consider alternative employment opportunities. The Board has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to assure that the Company will have the continued
dedication and objectivity of Executive, notwithstanding the possibility, threat or occurrence of such a termination of employment or the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined herein) of the Company. 

2. The Board believes that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to provide Executive with an incentive to continue
his employment and to motivate Executive to maximize the value of the Company for the benefit of its stockholders. 
 3. The Board believes
that it is imperative to provide Executive with certain severance benefits upon Executive’s termination of employment in connection with a Change in Control. These benefits will provide Executive with enhanced financial security, incentive and
encouragement to remain with the Company. 
 4. Certain capitalized terms used in the Agreement are defined in Section 7 below. 

AGREEMENT 
 NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 1. Term of Agreement.
This Agreement will have an initial term of three (3) years commencing on the Effective Date (the “Initial Term”). On the third anniversary of the Effective Date, this Agreement will renew automatically for additional one
(1) year terms (each an “Additional Term”), unless either party provides the other party with written notice of non-renewal at least sixty (60) days prior to the date of automatic renewal. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this paragraph, if a Change in Control occurs when there are fewer than twelve (12) months remaining during the Initial Term or an Additional Term, the term of this Agreement will extend automatically through the date that is
twelve (12) months following the effective date of the Change in Control. If Executive becomes entitled to benefits under Section 3 during the term of this Agreement, the Agreement will not terminate until all of the obligations of the
parties hereto with respect to this Agreement have been satisfied. 

 2. At-Will Employment. The Company and Executive acknowledge that Executive’s
employment is and will continue to be at-will, as defined under applicable law. 
 3. Severance Benefits. 

(a) Termination without Cause or Resignation for Good Reason Outside the Change in Control Period. If, other than within the period
beginning three (3) months prior to a Change in Control and ending twelve (12) months following a Change in Control (the “Change in Control Period”), the Company terminates Executive’s employment with the Company
without Cause (excluding death or Disability) or Executive resigns for Good Reason, then subject to Section 4, Executive will receive the following: 

(i) Severance Payment. Executive will receive a lump-sum payment (less applicable withholding taxes) equal to six (6) months of
Executive’s annual base salary as in effect immediately prior to Executive’s termination date. Such lump-sum amount shall be payable on the effective date of the Release specified in Section 4(a) or such later time as required by
Section 4(c). 
 (ii) Equity. Executive’s then outstanding Company equity awards, including Executive’s outstanding
awards under the Company’s Performance Unit Plan (the “Equity Awards”), will accelerate vesting by the amount that would otherwise have vested had Executive remained employed for six (6) months following the termination
date. 
 (iii) Continued Employee Benefits. If Executive elects continuation coverage pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”) for Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents (as applicable), within the time period prescribed pursuant to COBRA, the Company will reimburse Executive for, or pay directly
on Executive’s behalf, the COBRA premiums for such coverage (at the coverage levels in effect immediately prior to Executive’s termination of employment) until the earlier of (A) a period of six (6) months from the last date of
employment of the Executive with the Company, or (B) the date upon which Executive and/or Executive’s eligible dependents becomes covered under similar plans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3(a)(iii), if the
Company determines in its sole discretion that it cannot provide the COBRA benefits without potentially violating applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), the Company will in lieu thereof
provide to Executive a taxable monthly payment in an amount equal to the monthly COBRA premium that Executive would be required to pay to continue his group health coverage in effect on the date of his termination of employment (which amount will be
based on the premium for the first month of COBRA coverage), which payments will be made regardless of whether Executive elects COBRA continuation coverage and will commence in the month following the month in which Executive terminates employment
and will end on the earlier of (x) the date upon which Executive becomes covered under similar plans or (y) the last day of the sixth (6th) calendar month following the month in
which Executive terminations employment.

 (b) Termination without Cause or Resignation for Good Reason During Change in Control
Period. If during the Change in Control Period the Company terminates Executive’s employment with the Company without Cause (excluding death or Disability) or Executive resigns for Good Reason, then, subject to Section 4, Executive
will receive the following: 
 (i) Severance Payment. Executive will receive a lump-sum payment (less applicable withholding taxes)
equal to six (6) months of Executive’s annual base salary as in effect immediately prior to Executive’s termination date. Such amount lump-sum amount shall be payable on the effective date of the Release specified in Section 4(a)
or such later time as required by Section 4(c). 
 (ii) Equity. Executive’s Equity Awards will accelerate vesting by
either (A) the amount that would otherwise have vested had Executive remained employed for twenty four (24) months following the termination date if the Change in Control occurs within the first twelve (12) months following
Executive’s date of hire, or (B) one hundred percent (100%) if the Change in Control occurs after the first twelve (12) months following Executive’s date of hire. The Equity Awards will remain exercisable, to the extent
applicable, following Executive’s termination or the period prescribed by the applicable equity plan and agreement for each Equity Award. 

(iii) Continued Employee Benefits. If Executive elects continuation coverage pursuant to COBRA for Executive and Executive’s
eligible dependents (as applicable), within the time period prescribed pursuant to COBRA, the Company will reimburse Executive for, or pay directly on Executive’s behalf, the COBRA premiums for such coverage (at the coverage levels in effect
immediately prior to Executive’s termination of employment) until the earlier of (A) a period of six (6) months from the last date of employment of the Executive with the Company, or (B) the date upon which Executive and/or
Executive’s eligible dependents becomes covered under similar plans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3(b)(iii), if the Company determines in its sole discretion that it cannot provide the COBRA benefits without
potentially violating applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), the Company will in lieu thereof provide to Executive a taxable monthly payment in an amount equal to the monthly COBRA premium
that Executive would be required to pay to continue his group health coverage in effect on the date of his termination of employment (which amount will be based on the premium for the first month of COBRA coverage), which payments will be made
regardless of whether Executive elects COBRA continuation coverage and will commence in the month following the month in which Executive terminates employment and will end on the earlier of (x) the date upon which Executive becomes covered
under similar plans or (y) the last day of the sixth (6th) calendar month following the month in which Executive terminations employment. 

(c) Other Termination. If Executive’s employment with the Company terminates other than as set forth in Sections 3(a) and 3(b)
above, then (i) all vesting will terminate immediately with respect to Executive’s outstanding Equity Awards, (ii) all payments of compensation by the Company to Executive hereunder will terminate immediately (except as to amounts
already earned), and (iii) Executive will only be eligible for severance benefits in accordance with the Company’s established policies, if any, as then in effect. 

  
 -3- 

 (d) Exclusive Remedy. In the event of a termination of Executive’s employment as set
forth in Sections 3(a) and 3(b) of this Agreement, the provisions of Section 3 are intended to be and are exclusive and in lieu of and supersede any other rights or remedies to which Executive or the Company otherwise may be entitled, whether
at law, tort or contract or in equity, or under this Agreement (other than the payment of accrued but unpaid wages, as required by law, and any unreimbursed reimbursable expenses). Executive will be entitled to no benefits, compensation or other
payments or rights upon termination of employment other than those benefits expressly set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement. 
 4.
Conditions to Receipt of Severance 
 (a) Release of Claims Agreement. The receipt of any severance payments or benefits
pursuant to this Agreement is subject to Executive signing and not revoking a separation agreement and release of claims in a form acceptable to the Company (the “Release”), which must become effective and irrevocable no later than
the sixtieth (60th) day following Executive’s termination of employment (the “Release Deadline”). If the Release does not become effective and irrevocable by the Release
Deadline, Executive will forfeit any right to severance payments or benefits under this Agreement. No severance payments and benefits under Section 3 of this Agreement will be paid or provided until the Release becomes effective and
irrevocable, and, subject to Section 4(c) of this Agreement, any such severance payments and benefits otherwise payable between the date of Executive’s termination of employment and the date the Release becomes effective and irrevocable
will be paid on the date the Release becomes effective and irrevocable. 
 (b) Confidential Information and Invention Assignment
Agreements. Executive’s receipt of any payments or benefits under Section 3 will be subject to Executive continuing to comply with the terms of any confidential information and invention assignment agreement executed by Executive in
favor of the Company (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) and the provisions of this Agreement. 
 (c)
Section 409A. 
 (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no severance payments or benefits payable to
Executive, if any, pursuant to this Agreement that, when considered together with any other severance payments or separation benefits, is considered deferred compensation under Internal Revenue Code Section 409A (together, the “Deferred
Payments”) will be payable until Executive has a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A (“Section 409A”) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
Similarly, no severance payable to Executive, if any, pursuant to this Agreement that otherwise would be exempt from Section 409A pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9) will be
payable until Executive has a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. 
 (ii) Any severance payments
or benefits under this Agreement that would be considered Deferred Payments will be paid on, or, in the case of installments, will not commence until, the sixtieth (60th) day following
Executive’s separation from service, or, if later, such time as required by Section 4(c)(iii). Except as required by Section 4(c)(iii), any installment payments that would have been made to Executive during the sixty (60) day
period immediately following 

  
 -4- 

 
Executive’s separation from service but for the preceding sentence will be paid to Executive on the sixtieth (60th) day following
Executive’s separation from service and the remaining payments shall be made as provided in this Agreement. 
 (iii) Further, if
Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of Executive’s separation from service (other than due to death), any Deferred Payments that otherwise are payable within the first six
(6) months following Executive’s separation from service will become payable on the first payroll date that occurs on or after the date six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of Executive’s separation from
service. All subsequent Deferred Payments, if any, will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event of Executive’s death following
Executive’s separation from service but prior to the six (6) month anniversary of Executive’s separation from service (or any later delay date), then any payments delayed in accordance with this paragraph will be payable in a lump sum
as soon as administratively practicable after the date of Executive’s death and all other Deferred Payments will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit. Each payment and benefit payable under
the Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations. 
 (iv)
Any amount paid under this Agreement that satisfies the requirements of the “short-term deferral” rule set forth in Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) of the Treasury Regulations will not constitute Deferred Payments for purposes of clause
(i) above. Any amount paid under this Agreement that qualifies as a payment made as a result of an involuntary separation from service pursuant to Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) of the Treasury Regulations that does not exceed the
Section 409A Limit (as defined below) will not constitute Deferred Payments for purposes of clause (i) above. 
 (v) The
foregoing provisions are intended to comply with, or be exempt from, the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the severance payments and benefits to be provided under the Agreement will be subject to the additional tax imposed under
Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to so comply or be exempt. Executive and the Company agree to work together in good faith to consider amendments to the Agreement and to take such reasonable actions which are
necessary, appropriate or desirable to avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition prior to actual payment to Executive under Section 409A. In no event will the Company reimburse Executive for any taxes that may be imposed on
Executive as result of Section 409A. 
 5. Limitation on Payments. In the event that the severance and other benefits provided
for in this Agreement or otherwise payable to Executive (i) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and (ii) but for this Section 5, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by
Section 4999 of the Code, then Executive’s severance benefits under Section 3 will be either: 
  

	 	(a)	delivered in full, or 

  
 -5- 

	 	(b)	delivered as to such lesser extent which would result in no portion of such severance benefits being subject to excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, 

whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the excise tax imposed by Section 4999,
results in the receipt by Executive on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of severance benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such severance benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. If a reduction in
severance and other benefits constituting “parachute payments” is necessary so that benefits are delivered to a lesser extent, reduction will occur in the following order: (i) reduction of cash payments; (ii) cancellation of
awards granted “contingent on a change in ownership or control” (within the meaning of Code Section 280G), (iii) cancellation of accelerated vesting of equity awards; (iv) reduction of employee benefits. 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. 

Unless the Company and Executive otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section 5 will be made in writing by
the Company’s independent public accountants immediately prior to the Change in Control (the “Accountants”), whose determination will be conclusive and binding upon Executive and the Company for all purposes. For purposes of
making the calculations required by this Section 5, the Accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections
280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and Executive will furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section. The Company will bear all costs the
Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section 5. 
 6. Definition of Terms.
For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms referred to in this Agreement will have the following meanings: 
 (a) Cause.
“Cause” means the occurrence of any of the following events, as determined in good faith by the Board: (i) the Executive’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of duties, including without limitation,
willful violation of any Company policy, where such negligence, misconduct, or violation has resulted or is likely to result in substantial and material damage to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or successors; (ii) the Executive’s
repeated or unjustified absence from the Company; (iii) the Executive’s commission of any act of fraud, embezzlement, or professional dishonesty with respect to the Company; (iv) the Executive’s conviction of any felony or crime
involving moral turpitude which causes material harm to the standing and reputation of the Company; or (v) the Executive’s incurable material breach of any written agreement the Executive has with the Company, including without limitation,
the Executive’s misappropriation or misuse of the Company’s intellectual property under the Company’s Employee Agreement Regarding Proprietary Information and Inventions. 

  
 -6- 

 (b) Change in Control. “Change in Control” means the occurrence of any of
the following: 
 (i) A change in the ownership of the Company which occurs on the date that any one person, or more than one person acting
as a group (“Person”), acquires ownership of the stock of the Company that, together with the stock held by such Person, constitutes more than 50% of the total voting power of the stock of the Company; provided, however, that
for purposes of this subsection (i), the acquisition of additional stock by any one Person, who is considered to own more than 50% of the total voting power of the stock of the Company will not be considered a Change in Control; or 

(ii) A change in the effective control of the Company which occurs on the date that a majority of members of the Board (each, a
“Director”) is replaced during any twelve (12) month period by Directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Board prior to the date of the appointment or election. For purposes of
this subsection (ii), if any Person is considered to be in effective control of the Company, the acquisition of additional control of the Company by the same Person will not be considered a Change in Control; or 

(iii) A change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets which occurs on the date that any Person acquires (or
has acquired during the twelve (12) month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) assets from the Company that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than 50% of the total gross fair
market value of all of the assets of the Company immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions; provided, however, that for purposes of this subsection (iii), the following will not constitute a change in the ownership of a substantial
portion of the Company’s assets: (A) a transfer to an entity that is controlled by the Company’s stockholders immediately after the transfer, or (B) a transfer of assets by the Company to: (1) a stockholder of the Company
(immediately before the asset transfer) in exchange for or with respect to the Company’s stock, (2) an entity, 50% or more of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company, (3) a Person,
that owns, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the total value or voting power of all the outstanding stock of the Company, or (4) an entity, at least 50% of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by a
Person described in this subsection (iii)(B)(3). For purposes of this subsection (iii), gross fair market value means the value of the assets of the Company, or the value of the assets being disposed of, determined without regard to any liabilities
associated with such assets. 
 For purposes of this definition of Change in Control, persons will be considered to be acting as a group if
they are owners of a corporation that enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar business transaction with the Company. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed a Change in Control unless the transaction qualifies as a change in control
event within the meaning of Code Section 409A, as it has been and may be amended from time to time, and any proposed or final Treasury Regulations and Internal Revenue Service guidance that has been promulgated or may be promulgated thereunder
from time to time. 
 Further and for the avoidance of doubt, a transaction will not constitute a Change in Control if: (i) its sole
purpose is to change the state of the Company’s incorporation, or (ii) its sole purpose is to create a holding company that will be owned in substantially the same proportions by the persons who held the Company’s securities immediately
before such transaction.

 (c) Disability. “Disability” means Executive is unable to engage in any
substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months. 

(d) Good Reason. “Good Reason” means Executive’s termination of employment within thirty (30) days following
the expiration of any cure period (discussed below) following the occurrence of one or more of the following without Executive’s written consent: (i) a material reduction in Executive’s position, duties, authority, or responsibilities
relative to Executive’s position, duties, authority, or responsibilities in effect immediately prior to such reduction; provided, however, that a reduction in position, duties, authority or responsibilities solely by virtue of the Company being
acquired and made part of a larger entity (for example, where Executive retains essentially the same responsibility and duties of the subsidiary, business unit or division substantially containing the Company’s business following a Change in
Control) shall not constitute “Good Reason”; (ii) a material reduction in Executive’s base salary other than a reduction by the Company with respect to all executives as part of a general readjustment of their compensation
levels; (iii) a material reduction in kind or level of benefits to which Executive is entitled immediately prior to such change with the result that Executive’s overall benefits package is materially reduced unless it is part of a
Company-wide change of the same percentage; or (iv) relocation of Executive’s principal place of employment by more than fifty (50) miles from Executive’s then-current location of employment, without Executive’s prior
written consent. In order for an event to qualify as a Good Reason, Executive must not terminate employment with the Company without first providing the Company with written notice of the acts or omissions constituting the grounds for Good Reason
within ninety (90) days of the initial existence of the grounds for Good Reason and such grounds have not be cured by the Company during a period of thirty (30) days following the date of such notice. 

(e) Section 409A Limit. “Section 409A Limit” means the lesser of two (2) times: (i) Executive’s
annualized compensation based upon the annual rate of pay paid to Executive during the Executive’s taxable year preceding the Executive’s taxable year of Executive’s termination of employment as determined under, and with such
adjustments as are set forth in, Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)(A)(1) and any Internal Revenue Service guidance issued with respect thereto; or (ii) the maximum amount that may be taken into account under a qualified plan pursuant
to Section 401(a)(17) of the Code for the year in which Executive’s employment is terminated. 
 7. Successors. 

(a) The Company’s Successors. Any successor to the Company (whether direct or indirect and whether by purchase, merger,
consolidation, liquidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the Company’s business and/or assets will assume the obligations under this Agreement and agree expressly to perform the 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 

  
 -8- 

 
of a succession. For all purposes under this Agreement, the term “Company” will include any successor to the Company’s business and/or assets which executes and delivers the
assumption agreement described in this Section 8(a) or which becomes bound by the terms of this Agreement by operation of law. 
 (b)
Executive’s Successors. The terms of this Agreement and all rights of Executive hereunder will inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors,
heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. 
 8. Notice. 

(a) General. Notices and all other communications contemplated by this Agreement will be in writing and will 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 will be addressed to him or her at the home address which he or she most
recently communicated to the Company in writing. In the case of the Company, mailed notices will be addressed to its corporate headquarters, and all notices will be directed to the General Counsel of the Company. 

(b) Notice of Termination. Any termination by the Company for Cause or by Executive for Good Reason or as a result of a voluntary
resignation will be communicated by a notice of termination to the other party hereto given in accordance with Section 8(a) of this Agreement. Such notice will indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, will set
forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination under the provision so indicated, and will specify the termination date (which will be not more than thirty (30) days after the giving of such
notice). The failure by Executive to include in the notice any fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing of Involuntary Termination will not waive any right of Executive hereunder or preclude Executive from asserting such fact or
circumstance in enforcing Executive’s rights hereunder. 
 9. Arbitration. 

The Company and Executive each agree that any and all disputes arising out of the terms of this Agreement, Executive’s employment by the
Company, Executive’s service as an officer or director of the Company, or Executive’s compensation and benefits, their interpretation and any of the matters herein released, will be subject to binding arbitration under the arbitration
rules set forth in California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1280 through 1294.2, including Section 1281.8 (the “Act”), and pursuant to California law. Disputes that the Company and Executive agree to arbitrate, and thereby
agree to waive any right to a trial by jury, include any statutory claims under local, state, or federal law, including, but not limited to, claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Age
Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the
California Family Rights Act, the California Labor Code, claims of harassment, discrimination, and wrongful termination, and any statutory or common law claims. The Company and Executive further understand that this agreement to arbitrate also
applies to any disputes that the Company may have with Executive. 

  
 -9- 

 (b) Procedure. The Company and Executive agree that any arbitration will be administered
by Judicial Arbitration & Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”), pursuant to its Employment Arbitration Rules & Procedures (the “JAMS Rules”). The Arbitrator will have the power to decide any motions
brought by any party to the arbitration, including motions for summary judgment and/or adjudication, motions to dismiss and demurrers, and motions for class certification, prior to any arbitration hearing. The Arbitrator will have the power to award
any remedies available under applicable law, and the Arbitrator will award attorneys’ fees and costs to the prevailing party, except as prohibited by law. The Company will pay for any administrative or hearing fees charged by the Arbitrator or
JAMS except that Executive will pay any filing fees associated with any arbitration that Executive initiates, but only so much of the filing fees as Executive would have instead paid had he or she filed a complaint in a court of law. The Arbitrator
will administer and conduct any arbitration in accordance with California law, including the California Code of Civil Procedure, and the Arbitrator will apply substantive and procedural California law to any dispute or claim, without reference to
rules of conflict of law. To the extent that the JAMS Rules conflict with California law, California law will take precedence. The decision of the Arbitrator will be in writing. Any arbitration under this Agreement will be conducted in Santa Clara
County, California. 
 (c) Remedy. Except as provided by the Act and this Agreement, arbitration will be the sole, exclusive, and
final remedy for any dispute between Executive and the Company. Accordingly, except as provided for by the Act and this Agreement, neither Executive nor the Company will be permitted to pursue court action regarding claims that are subject to
arbitration. 
 (d) Administrative Relief. Executive understands that this Agreement does not prohibit him or her from pursuing any
administrative claim with a local, state, or federal administrative body or government agency that is authorized to enforce or administer laws related to employment, including, but not limited to, the Department of Fair Employment and Housing, the
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, or the Workers’ Compensation Board. This Agreement does, however, preclude Executive from pursuing court action regarding any such claim, except as permitted by law.

 (e) Voluntary Nature of Agreement. Each of the Company and Executive acknowledges and agrees that such party is executing this
Agreement voluntarily and without any duress or undue influence by anyone. Executive further acknowledges and agrees that he or she has carefully read this Agreement and has asked any questions needed for him or her to understand the terms,
consequences, and binding effect of this Agreement and fully understand it, including that Executive is waiving his or her right to a jury trial. Finally, Executive agrees that he or she has been provided an opportunity to seek the
advice of an attorney of his or her choice before signing this Agreement

 10. Miscellaneous Provisions. 

(a) No Duty to Mitigate. Executive will not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment contemplated by this Agreement, nor will
any such payment be reduced by any earnings that Executive may receive from any other source. 
 (b) Waiver. No provision of this
Agreement will be modified, waived or discharged unless the modification, waiver or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by 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 will be considered a waiver of any other condition or provision or of the same condition or provision at another time. 

(c) Headings. All captions and section headings used in this Agreement are for convenient reference only and do not form a part of this
Agreement. 
 (d) Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties hereto and supersedes in their
entirety all prior representations, understandings, undertakings or agreements (whether oral or written and whether expressed or implied) of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. No waiver, alteration, or modification of any of the
provisions of this Agreement will be binding unless in writing and signed by duly authorized representatives of the parties hereto and which specifically mention this Agreement. 

(e) Choice of Law. The validity, interpretation, construction, and performance of this Agreement will be governed by the laws of the
State of California (with the exception of its conflict of laws provisions). Any claims or legal actions by one party against the other arising out of the relationship between the parties contemplated herein (whether or not arising under this
Agreement) will be commenced or maintained in any state or federal court located in Santa Clara County, California, and Executive and the Company hereby submit to the jurisdiction and venue of any such court. 

(f) Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision or provisions of this Agreement will not affect the validity or
enforceability of any other provision hereof, which will remain in full force and effect. 
 (g) Withholding. All payments made
pursuant to this Agreement will be subject to withholding of applicable income and employment taxes. 
 (h) Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.
