Dear Tyler:
Nutanix, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), is pleased to offer you employment with the Company on the terms described below.
1) | Position. You will start in a full-time position as the Company’s Chief Legal Officer (your “Position”) on November 27, 2017 and will report to Dheeraj Pandey, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. In this role, you will be primarily responsible for leading the worldwide Legal team. Moreover, you will render such business and professional services in the performance of your duties, consistent with your Position, as shall reasonably be assigned to you by the Chief Executive Officer. This position is considered an exempt position for purposes of federal and state law, which means that you are not eligible for overtime pay. Additionally, your employment with the Company is contingent upon receipt of proof of your eligibility to work in the United States (as required by law) and completion of satisfactory reference and background checks. By signing this letter agreement, you confirm with the Company that you are under no contractual or other legal obligations that would prohibit you from performing the duties of your Position with the Company. |
2) | Compensation. Your starting compensation will be a semi-monthly salary of $14,583.33, which is the equivalent of $350,000 on an annual basis, payable based on the Company’s regular payroll dates, and in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll procedures. This salary will be subject to adjustment pursuant to the Company’s employee compensation policies in effect and as amended from time to time. In addition, you will be eligible for discretionary annual incentive compensation, with an annual target of $150,000 at 100% achievement, under the Company’s Executive Bonus Plan. This discretionary annual incentive compensation will be subject to achievement of performance targets, which targets will be set by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) or its Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”), as determined by the Board, promptly after the beginning of each fiscal year. Achievement of the performance targets and payment of your incentive compensation shall be determined, in good faith, by the Board or the Compensation Committee (if so delegated by the Board) in its sole discretion. The annual incentive compensation paid to you under the Executive Bonus Plan for the Company’s 2018 fiscal year, if any, will be pro-rated based on your time of service during such fiscal year. Your base salary and your annual incentive compensation opportunity will be reviewed annually by the Board or the Compensation Committee (if so delegated by the Board) based on your performance and/or external compensation consultant recommendations. |
3) | Employee Benefits. As a regular employee of the Company, you will be eligible to participate in a number of Company-sponsored benefits. In addition, you will be entitled to paid vacation in accordance with the Company's vacation policy. You should note that the Company might modify job titles, salaries, and benefits from time to time, as it deems necessary. |
4) | Restricted Stock Units. Subject to the approval of the Board, you will be granted 300,000 restricted stock units (the “RSUs”), which represent the right to receive 300,000 shares of Nutanix common stock if specific vesting requirements are satisfied.

You should consult with your own tax advisor concerning the tax risks associated with accepting RSUs that cover the Company’s common stock.

In the event that your continuous service ceases prior to each applicable vesting date in the Vesting Schedule, then any unvested portion of the RSUs and your right to acquire any shares subject to such unvested portion of the RSUs will immediately terminate. |
