 Dear Mr. Scarpelli: 
 On behalf of
Nutanix, Inc. (the “Company”), I am extremely pleased to invite you to join the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), subject to your formal appointment by the Board or election by the stockholders of the
Company following your acceptance of this offer. As you are aware, the Company is a Delaware corporation and, therefore, your rights and duties as a Board member will be governed by Delaware law and our bylaws and charter documents, as well as by
the policies established by our Board from time to time. 
 Our Board meetings are generally held quarterly at our headquarters in San Jose
and you would be expected to attend these meetings, as well as any special meetings that may be scheduled from time to time. It is our hope that you will be able to attend our Board meetings in person. 

As compensation for your services to the Company, you will be entitled to receive an annual retainer of $20,000 for your service as a
director. Such amounts will be paid in quarterly installments contingent upon your continuing service on the Board and will be subject to applicable withholding, if any. You will be responsible for reporting and paying applicable taxes on any
compensation paid to you for your services as a director. 
 As additional compensation, the Company will, subject to approval of the Board,
grant you a nonstatutory stock option enabling you to purchase 275,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Option”). The exercise price per share will be equal to at least the fair market value of the Company’s
common stock on the date of grant, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion. The Option shall vest at a rate of one forty-eighth (1/48) per month beginning on the date you first begin providing services to the Company, and shall be
subject to your continued service to Company on each vesting date. The option will be early exercisable, subject to the Company’s right to repurchase any unvested shares. The Option shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the
Company’s 2010 Stock Plan (the “Plan”) and the Company’s standard form of stock option agreement (the “Option Agreement”), as may be amended from time to time hereafter. No right to any stock is earned or
accrued until such time as that vesting occurs, nor does the grant confer any right to continue vesting or maintenance of your status as a service provider to the Company or member of the Board. In the event of a change of control of the Company
during your term of service, 100% of the unvested shares subject to your Option shall vest immediately prior to the closing of such change of control. 

You shall also be reimbursed for all reasonable expenses incurred by you in connection with your Board service. The payment of compensation to
Board members is subject to many restrictions 

 
under applicable law, and as such, you should be aware that your compensation is subject to such future changes and modifications as the Board, or its appropriate committees, may deem necessary
or appropriate. 
 Should you decide to join the Board, the Company will provide you with its standard form of indemnification agreement
entered into with each of its directors and officers (the “Indemnification Agreement”) and you will be covered under the company’s D&O insurance policy to the same extent as the other members of the Board. 

By accepting this offer, you are representing to us that (i) you do not know of any conflict that would restrict you from becoming a
director of the Company, and (ii) you will not provide the Company with any documents, records or other confidential information belonging to any other parties. In addition, by accepting this offer, you agree that you will hold in strictest
confidence, and not use, except for the benefit of the Company, or disclose to any person, firm, corporation or other entity, without written authorization of the Board, any non-public, confidential or proprietary information of the Company, except
to the extent that such disclosure or use may be required in direct connection with your duties as a member of the Board. Nothing in this offer or the Option Agreement should be construed to interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights
of the Company and the Company’s stockholders to remove any individual from the Board at any time in accordance with the Company’s charter, bylaws and the provisions of applicable law. 

To indicate your acceptance of the Company’s offer, please sign and date this letter in the space provided below and return it to me as
promptly as practicable. A duplicate original is enclosed for your records. This letter sets forth the terms of your directorship with the Company and supersedes any prior representations or agreements, whether written or oral. This letter may not
be modified or amended except by a written agreement, signed by an officer of the Company and by you. 
 Please let me know if you need any
additional information. We look forward to you joining our Board.

Mr. John McAdam 
 Dear John: 

On behalf of Nutanix, Inc. (the “Company” or “Nutanix”), I am pleased to inform you that the Company’s
Board of Directors (the “Board”) is interested in having you serve on the Board and certain committees of the Board. If all necessary Board and stockholder action is taken, the Company is prepared to offer you the
compensation described below in exchange for your performance of duties as a director. 
 As you are aware, the Company is a Delaware corporation and
therefore your rights and duties as a Board member are prescribed by Delaware law, our charter documents as well as by the policies established by our Board from time to time. If the Company completes an initial public offering of its common stock,
you should anticipate that your duties and responsibilities would increase as a result of being a director of a publicly-traded company. In addition, you may also be requested to serve as a director of one or more of our subsidiaries in which case
you may be subject to other laws while serving in such a capacity. 
 From time to time, our Board has established certain other committees to which it has
delegated certain duties. You will be appointed by the Board to serve on certain committees and may be required to serve as the chair of at least one of those committees. In addition to committee meetings, which shall be convened as needed, our
Board meetings are generally held quarterly at the Company’s offices in San Jose, California. We hope that your schedule would permit you to attend all of the meetings of the Board and any committees of which you are a member. In addition, from
time to time, there may be telephonic meetings to address special matters. 
 You agree that you will hold in strictest confidence, and not use, except for
the benefit of Nutanix, or disclose to any person, firm, corporation or other entity, without written authorization of the Board, any non-public, confidential or proprietary information of Nutanix, except to the extent that such disclosure or use
may be required in direct connection with your duties as a member of the Board. It is expected that during the term of your Board membership you will not engage in any other employment, occupation, consulting or other business activity that competes
with the business in which Nutanix is now involved in or 

  
 Nutanix, Inc. 1740
Technology Drive, Suite 150, San Jose, CA 95110 

 
becomes involved in during the term of your service on the Board, nor will you engage in any other activities that conflict with your obligations to Nutanix. 

At the time of your election as a member of the Board, we will recommend to the Board that you be granted 85,000 restricted stock units (the
“RSUs”), which represent the right to receive 85,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) if specific vesting requirements are satisfied. If approved by the Board, the RSUs will
be granted under, and subject to the terms and conditions of, the Nutanix, Inc. 2010 Stock Plan (the “Plan”), as well as the terms and conditions of the applicable RSU agreement, which will be provided to you as soon as practicable after
the grant date and which you will be required to sign or accept in accordance with the Company’s acceptance procedures. Subject to your continuous service to the Company through each applicable vesting date, 1/16th of the RSUs will vest each quarter from the date on which you join the Board, so as to be 100% vested on the fourth anniversary of the date on which you join the Board (the “Original
Vesting Schedule”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the RSUs will not vest at all until a Liquidity Event (as defined below), at which time the Original Vesting Schedule will apply, subject to your continuous service to the Company
through each applicable vesting date. In the event that your continuous service ceases prior to a Liquidity Event and/or each applicable vesting date in the Original Vesting Schedule, then the RSUs and any right you may have to acquire any shares
subject to the RSUs will immediately terminate. For these purposes, “Liquidity Event” will mean either of the following prior to the 7-year anniversary of the date you join the Board: (i) one month after the expiration
of the lock-up period (as set forth in your RSU agreement) applicable in connection with the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 (or equivalent filing) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the initial public offering
of the Company’s shares; or (ii) a Corporate Transaction (as defined in the 2010 Plan). In the event of a Triggering Event (as defined in our 2010 Plan), 100% of the unvested shares subject to the RSUs shall vest immediately prior to the
closing of the Triggering Event. 
 In addition to the RSUs, once we have adopted a non-employee director compensation policy, you will be eligible to
receive compensation under such policy, subject to your continuing service. The payment of compensation to Board members is subject to many restrictions under applicable law, and as such, you should be aware that the compensation set forth above is
subject to such future changes and modifications as the Board or its committees may deem necessary or appropriate. In addition, please note that unless otherwise approved by our Board or required under applicable law, directors of our subsidiaries
shall not be entitled to any additional compensation for their service as director of a subsidiary. 
 You shall be entitled to reimbursement for reasonable
expenses incurred by you in connection with your service to the Company and attendance of Board and committee meetings in accordance with the Company’s established policies. The Company will enter into an Indemnification Agreement with you in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. 
 Please note that nothing in this letter or any agreement granting you equity should be
construed to interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Company, its 

  
 Nutanix, Inc. 1740
Technology Drive, Suite 150, San Jose, CA 95110 

 
Board or stockholders from removing you from the Board or any committee in accordance with the provisions of applicable law. Furthermore, except as otherwise provided to other non-employee Board
members or required by law, the Company does not intend to afford you any rights as an employee, including without limitation, the right to further employment or any other benefits. 

We hope that you find the foregoing terms acceptable. You may indicate your agreement with these terms by signing and dating both the enclosed duplicate and
original letter and returning them to me. By signing this letter you also represent that the execution and delivery of this agreement and the fulfillment of the terms hereof will not require the consent of another person, constitute a default under
or conflict with any agreement or other instrument to which you are bound or a party. 
 On behalf of the Company it will give us great pleasure to welcome
you as a member of our Board. We anticipate your experience will make a key contribution to our success at this critical time in our growth and development. 

Yours very truly, 
 /s/ Dheeraj Pandey
