2. REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

2.1 Definitions. For purposes of this Section 2:

(4) any shares of Common Stock of the Company issued (or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of any warrant, right or other security which is issued) as a dividend or other distribution with respect to, or in exchange for or in replacement of, all such shares

The number of shares of "Registrable Securities then outstanding" shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock which are Registrable Securities that are then (1) issued and outstanding or (2) issuable pursuant to the exercise or conversion of then outstanding and then exercisable and qualifying options, warrants or convertible securities.

(d) Holder. The term "Holder" means any person owning of record Registrable Securities or any assignee of record of such Registrable Securities to whom rights set forth herein have been duly assigned in accordance with this Agreement; provided, however, that for purposes of this Agreement, a record holder of shares of Series B Stock, Series C Stock, Series D Stock, Series E Stock, Series F Stock or Series G Stock convertible into such Registrable Securities shall be deemed to be the Holder of such Registrable Securities; provided, further, that a holder of Mixer Excluded Shares or SVB Excluded Shares (as defined in Section 2.1(b)) shall not be a Holder with respect to such Mixer Excluded Shares or SVB Excluded Shares for purposes of Sections 2.2 or 3 of this Agreement and provided, further, that the Company shall in no event be obligated to register shares of Series B Stock, Series C Stock, Series D Stock, Series E Stock, Series F Stock or Series G Stock, and that Holders of Registrable Securities will not be required to convert their shares of Series B Stock, Series C Stock, Series D Stock, Series E Stock, Series F Stock or Series G Stock into Common Stock in order to exercise the registration rights granted hereunder, until immediately before the closing of the offering to which the registration relates.

2.2 Demand Registration.

(a) Request by Holders. If the Company shall receive at any time after the earlier of fifth (5th) anniversary of the date of this Agreement, or one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of the Company's initial public offering of its securities pursuant to a registration filed under the Securities Act, a written request from the Holders of at least a majority of the

 

-5-


Registrable Securities then outstanding that the Company file a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2.2, then the Company shall, within twenty (20) days after the receipt of such written request, give written notice of such request (the "Request Notice") to all Holders, and use reasonable efforts to effect, as soon as practicable, the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities which Holders request to be registered and included in such registration by written notice given by such Holders to the Company within twenty (20) days after receipt of the Request Notice, subject only to the limitations of this Section 2; provided that the Registrable Securities requested by all Holders to be registered pursuant to such request must have an anticipated aggregate public offering price (before any underwriting discounts and commissions) of not less than Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000).

(b) Underwriting. If the Holders initiating the registration request under this Section 2.2 (the "Initiating Holders") intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, then they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to this Section 2.2 and the Company shall include such information in the written notice referred to in subsection 2.2(a). In such event, the right of any Holder to include his, her, or its Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder's participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder's Registrable Securities in the underwriting (unless otherwise mutually agreed by a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders and such Holder) to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company and approved by a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.2, if the underwriter(s) advise(s) the Company in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of securities to be underwritten then the Company shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities that would otherwise be registered and underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of Registrable Securities that may be included in the underwriting shall be reduced as required by the underwriter(s) and allocated among the Holders of Registrable Securities on a pro rata basis according to the number of Registrable Securities then outstanding held by each Holder requesting registration (including the Initiating Holders); provided, however, that the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in such underwriting and registration shall not be reduced unless all other securities of the Company are first entirely excluded from the underwriting and registration; and provided further, that in no event shall the amount of securities of the Holders be reduced below thirty percent (30%) of the total amount of securities included in such offering, unless such offering is the Company's initial public offering (in which case there is no such minimum limit). Any Registrable Securities excluded and withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from the registration.

(c) Maximum Number of Demand Registrations. The Company is obligated to effect only two (2) such registrations pursuant to this Section 2.2. For purposes of calculating the number of registrations effected under this subsection 2.2(c), a registration shall only be deemed to have been effected if: (i) the registration statement filed by the Company pursuant to Section 2.2 is declared effective by the SEC and the Company thereafter complies in all material respects with its obligations under Section 2.5 with respect to such registration, and (ii) all Registrable Securities requested to be registered pursuant to Section 2.2(a) have been registered.

 

-6-


(d) Deferral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company shall furnish to Holders requesting the filing of a registration statement pursuant to this Section 2.2, a certificate signed by the President or Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such registration statement to be filed and it is therefore essential to defer the filing of such registration statement, then the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of the request of the Initiating Holders; provided, however, that the Company may not utilize this right more than once in any twelve (12) month period and provided further that the Company shall not register any securities for the account of itself or any other stockholder during such one hundred twenty (120) period (other than a registration relating solely to the sale of securities of participants in a Company stock plan, a registration relating to a corporate reorganization or transaction under Rule 145 of the Act, a registration on any form that does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of the Registrable Securities, or a registration in which the only Common Stock being registered is Common Stock issuable upon conversion of debt securities that are also being registered).

(e) Expenses. All expenses incurred in connection with a registration pursuant to this Section 2.2, including without limitation all registration and qualification fees, printers' and accounting fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, and the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel for the selling Holders not to exceed $25,000, which may be counsel for the Company (but excluding underwriters' discounts and commissions), shall be borne by the Company. Each Holder participating in a registration pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall bear such Holder's proportionate share (based on the number of shares sold by such Holder over the total number of shares included in such registration at the time it is declared effective) of all discounts, commissions or other amounts payable to underwriters or brokers in connection with such offering. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to this Section 2.2 if the registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered, unless the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding agree to forfeit their right to one (1) demand registration pursuant to this Section 2.2 (in which case such right shall be forfeited by all Holders of Registrable Securities); provided, further, however, that if at the time of such withdrawal, the Holders have learned of a material adverse change in the condition, business, or prospects of the Company not known to the Holders at the time of their request for such registration and have withdrawn their request for registration with reasonable promptness after learning of such material adverse change, then the Holders shall not be required to pay any of such expenses and shall retain their demand registration rights pursuant to this Section 2.2.

2.3 Piggyback Registrations. The Company shall notify all Holders of Registrable Securities in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to filing any registration statement under the Securities Act for purposes of effecting a public offering of securities of the Company (including, but not limited to, registration statements relating to secondary offerings of securities of the Company, but excluding registration statements relating to any registration under Section 2.2 or Section 2.4 of this Agreement or to any employee benefit plan or a corporate reorganization or other transaction covered by Rule 145 promulgated under the Securities Act, or a registration on any

 

-7-


registration form which does not permit secondary sales or does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of Registrable Securities,) and will afford each such Holder an opportunity to include in such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities then held by such Holder. Each Holder desiring to include in any such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities held by such Holder shall, within twenty (20) days after receipt of the above-described notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing, and in such notice shall inform the Company of the number of Registrable Securities such Holder wishes to include in such registration statement. If a Holder decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any registration statement thereafter filed by the Company, such Holder shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent registration statement or registration statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to offerings of its securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

(a) Underwriting. If a registration statement under which the Company gives notice under this Section 2.3 is for an underwritten offering, then the Company shall so advise the Holders of Registrable Securities. In such event, the right of any such Holder's Registrable Securities to be included in a registration pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be conditioned upon such Holder's participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder's Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter or underwriter(s) selected for such underwriting. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the managing underwriter determine(s) in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the managing underwriter(s) may exclude shares (including Registrable Securities) from the registration and the underwriting, and the number of shares that may be included in the registration and the underwriting shall be allocated, first, to the Company, second to Holders requesting inclusion of their Registrable Securities in such registration statement on a pro rata basis based on the number of Registrable Securities each such Holder has requested to be included in the registration, provided, however, in no event shall the amount of securities of the Holders be reduced below thirty percent (30%) of the total amount of securities included in such offering, unless such offering is the Company's initial public offering (in which case there is no such minimum limit). If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice, given in accordance with Section 6.1 hereof, to the Company and the underwriter, delivered at least twenty (20) days prior to the effective date of the registration statement. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from the registration. For any Holder that is a partnership or corporation, the partners, retired partners and stockholders of such Holder, or the estates and family members of any such partners and retired partners and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing persons shall be deemed to be a single "Holder," and any pro rata reduction with respect to such "Holder" shall be based upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying registration rights owned by all entities and individuals included in such "Holder," as defined in this sentence.

(b) Expenses. All expenses incurred in connection with a registration pursuant to this Section 2.3, including without limitation all registration and qualification fees, printers' and accounting fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, and the

 

-8-


reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel for the selling Holders not to exceed $25,000, which may be counsel for the Company (but excluding underwriters' discounts and commissions), shall be borne by the Company. All underwriting discounts, selling commissions and stock transfer taxes applicable to the sale of the Registrable Securities hereunder shall be borne and paid by the Holders pro rata based on the number of Registrable Securities registered on their behalf.

2.4 Form S-3 Registration. In case the Company shall receive from (i) any Holder or Holders of at least ten percent (10%) of Registrable Securities then outstanding or (ii) entities affiliated with Insight Venture Partners ("Insight") for so long as Insight holds at least 9,000,000 shares (as may be subsequently adjusted for splits, dividends or other similar recapitalizations) of Series E Stock, a written request or requests that the Company effect a registration on Form S-3 (or any comparable successor form) and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or Holders, then the Company will do the following:

(a) Notice. Promptly give written notice of the proposed registration and the Holder's or Holders' request therefor, and any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders of Registrable Securities.

(b) Registration. As soon as practicable, effect such registration and all such qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Holder's or Holders' Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within twenty (20) days after receipt of such written notice from the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section 2.4:

(1) if Form S-3 is not available for such offering;

(2) if the Holders, together with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) at an aggregate price to the public of less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000);

(3) if the Company shall furnish to the Holders a certificate signed by the President or Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such Form S-3 Registration to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer the filing of the Form S-3 registration statement no more than once during any twelve (12) month period for a period of not more than one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of the request of the Holder or Holders under this Section 2.4 provided that the Company shall not register any securities for the account of itself or any other stockholder during such one hundred twenty (120) period (other than a registration relating solely to the sale of securities of participants in a Company stock plan, a registration relating to a corporate reorganization or transaction under Rule 145 of the Act, a registration on any form that does not

 

-9-


include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of the Registrable Securities, or a registration in which the only Common Stock being registered is Common Stock issuable upon conversion of debt securities that are also being registered);

(4) if the Company has, within the twelve (12) month period preceding the date of such request, already effected two (2) registrations on Form S-3 for the Holders pursuant to this Section 2.4; or

(5) in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to qualify to do business or to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance.

(c) Expenses. Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall file a Form S-3 registration statement covering the Registrable Securities and other securities so requested to be registered pursuant to this Section 2.4 as soon as practicable after receipt of the request or requests of the Holders for such registration. The Company shall pay all expenses incurred in connection with the first registration requested pursuant to this Section 2.4, (excluding underwriters' or brokers' discounts and commissions), including without limitation all filing, registration and qualification fees, printers' and accounting fees, and the reasonable fees and disbursements of one (1) counsel for the selling Holder or Holders (not to exceed $25,000) and counsel for the Company. Each Holder participating in a registration pursuant to this Section 4 shall bear such Holder's proportionate share (based on the number of shares sold by such Holder over the total number of shares included in such registration at the time it goes effective) of all discounts, commissions or other amounts payable to underwriters or brokers in connection with such offering.

(d) Not Demand Registration. Form S-3 registrations shall not be deemed to be demand registrations as described in Section 2.2 above.

2.5 Obligations of the Company. Whenever required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under this Agreement, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 2.5(j) below, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

(a) Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep such registration statement effective for up to ninety (90) days.

(b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement and, in connection with any registration on Form S-3 pursuant to Section 2.4 above, use reasonable, diligent efforts to timely file all reports required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), in order to maintain the right to continue to use such Form and to maintain such registration in effect.

 

-10-


(c) Furnish to the Holders such number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by them that are included in such registration.

(d) Use reasonable efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders, provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions.

(e) In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter(s) of such offering. Each Holder participating in such underwriting hereby agrees to also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement.

(f) Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing. The Company will use reasonable efforts to amend or supplement such prospectus in order to cause such prospectus not to include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing.

(g) Furnish, at the request of any Holder requesting registration of Registrable Securities, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale, if such securities are being sold through underwriters, or, if such securities are not being sold through underwriters, on the date that the registration statement with respect to such securities becomes effective, (i) an opinion, dated as of such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the Holders requesting registration, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities and (ii) a "comfort" letter dated as of such date, from the independent certified public accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the Holders requesting registration, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities.

(h) Cause all such Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Agreement to be listed on each securities exchange or over-the-counter market on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed, if applicable.

 

-11-


(i) Provide a transfer agent and registrar for such Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Agreement and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration.

(j) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, from and after the time a registration statement filed under this Section 2 covering Registrable Securities is declared effective, the Company shall have the right to suspend the registration statement and the related prospectus in order to prevent premature disclosure of any material non-public information related to corporate developments by delivering notice of such suspension to the Holders, provided, however, that the Company may exercise the right to such suspension only once in any 12-month period and for a period not to exceed 90 days. From and after the date of a notice of suspension under this Section 2.5(j), each Holder agrees not to use the registration statement or the related prospectus for resale of any Registrable Security until the earlier of (1) notice from the Company that such suspension has been lifted or (2) the 90th day following the giving of the notice of suspension. Any such suspension shall extend the 180-day period referred to in Section 2.5 for a period equal to the time of such suspension.

2.6 Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to Sections 2.2, 2.3 or 2.4 that the selling Holders shall furnish to the Company such information regarding themselves, the Registrable Securities held by them, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to timely effect the registration of their Registrable Securities.

2.7 Delay of Registration. No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 2.

2.8 Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under Sections 2.2, 2.3 or 2.4:

(a) By the Company. To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the partners, shareholders, officers and directors of each Holder; legal counsel and accountants for each Holder; any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for such Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively, the "Violations" and, individually, a "Violation"):

(1) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, any free-writing prospectus as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act or any amendments or supplements thereto; or

 

-12-


(2) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or

(3) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any federal or state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any federal or state securities law in connection with the offering covered by such registration statement.

The Company will reimburse each such Holder, partner, shareholder, officer or director, underwriter or controlling person, or other aforementioned person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them, within three months after a request for reimbursement has been received by the Company, in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection 2.8(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by such Holder, partner, shareholder, officer, director, underwriter or controlling person of such Holder.

(b) By Selling Holders. To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the registration statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, any underwriter and any other Holder selling securities under such registration statement or any of such other Holder's partners, shareholders, directors or officers or any person who controls such Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other such Holder, partner, shareholder or director, officer or controlling person of such other Holder may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration. Each such Holder will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other Holder, partner, shareholder, officer, director or controlling person of such other Holder in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection 2.8(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided further, that the total amounts payable in indemnity by a Holder under this Section 2.8(b) in respect of any Violation shall not exceed the net proceeds received by such Holder in the registered offering out of which such Violation arises.

 

-13-


(c) Notice. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 2.8 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 2.8, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof. The indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflict of interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 2.8, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 2.8.

(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.8 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party with respect to such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in the proportion that is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. In any such case, (A) no such Holder will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the net proceeds of all such Registrable Securities offered and sold by such Holder pursuant to such registration statement; and (B) no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(e) Survival. The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 2.8 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement, and otherwise.

2.9 "Market Stand-Off" Agreement. Each Holder hereby agrees that it shall not, to the extent requested by the Company or an underwriter of securities of the Company, sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Registrable Securities (other than to donees or partners or shareholders of the Holder who agree to be similarly bound) for up to one hundred eighty (180) days following the effective date of the Company's initial registration statement filed under the Securities Act; provided, however that, so long as required under the rules of FINRA, if during the last 17 days

 

-14-


of the restricted period the Company issues an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs, or prior to the expiration of the restricted period the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the restricted period, and if the Company's securities are listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market and the applicable FINRA rule applies, then the restrictions imposed by this Section 2.9 shall continue to apply until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or material event. In no event will the restricted period extend beyond 215 days after the effective date of the registration statement. The market stand-off agreement set forth above will not apply unless all executive officers and directors of the Company then holding Common Stock of the Company and all employee shareholders holding in the aggregate at least 1% of the total equity of the Company enter into similar agreements and that any discretionary waiver or termination of the restrictions of such agreements by the Company or representatives of the underwriters shall apply to Major Investors, pro rata, based on the number of shares held by each such party. The foregoing provisions of this Section 2.9 shall not apply to the sale of any shares to an underwriter pursuant to an underwriting agreement. With respect solely to entities advised, managed or similarly affiliated with T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. and Morgan Stanley Investment Management, this Section 2.9 shall not prohibit any purchase of shares of Common Stock by such entities in the Company's initial public offering or secondary market or the sale of Common Stock that was purchased in the open market following such initial public offering.

For purposes of this Section 2.9, the term "Company" shall include any wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company into which the Company merges or consolidates. In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company shall have the right to place restrictive legends on the certificates representing the shares subject to this Section and to impose stop transfer instructions with respect to the Registrable Securities (and the shares or securities of every other person subject to the foregoing restriction) until the end of such period. Each Holder further agrees to enter into any agreement reasonably required by the underwriters to implement the foregoing within any reasonable timeframe so requested.

2.10 Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission which may at any time permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, after such time as a public market exists for the Common Stock of the Company, the Company agrees to:

(a) Make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, at all times after the effective date of the first registration under the Securities Act filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to the general public;

(b) Use reasonable, diligent efforts to file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements); and

(c) So long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities, to furnish to the Holder forthwith upon request a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of said Rule 144 (at any time after ninety (90) days after the effective date of

 

-15-


the first registration statement filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to the general public), and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act), a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents of the Company as a Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing a Holder to sell any such securities without registration (at any time after the Company has become subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act).

2.11 Termination of the Company's Obligations. The Company shall have no obligations pursuant to Sections 2.2 through 2.4 with respect to: (a) any request or requests for registration made by any Holder on a date more than five (5) years after the closing date of the Company's Qualified Initial Public Offering (as defined in the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as such may be amended or restated from time to time (the "Restated Charter"); or (b) any Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by a Holder in a registration pursuant to Section 2.2, 2.3 or 2.4 if, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, all such Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by a Holder may be sold in any three (3) month period without registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

2.12 Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company that would provide to such holder the right to include securities in any registration on other than either a pro rata basis with respect to the Registrable Securities or on a subordinate basis after all Holders have had the opportunity to include in the registration and offering all shares of Registrable Securities that they wish to so include.

3. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL.

3.1 General. If the Company proposes to offer or sell any "New Securities" (as defined in Section 3.2) that the Company may from time to time issue after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall first offer such New Securities to each Major Investor. A Major Investor shall be entitled to purchase such Major Investor's Pro Rata Share (as defined below), provided, however, such Major Investor shall have no right to purchase any such New Securities if such Major Investor cannot demonstrate to the Company's reasonable satisfaction that such Major Investor is at the time of the proposed issuance of such New Securities an "accredited investor" as such term is defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act. A Major Investor's "Pro Rata Share" for purposes of this right of first refusal is the ratio of (a) the number of Registrable Securities as to which such Major Investor is the Holder (and/or is deemed to be the Holder under Section 2.1(d)), to (b) a number of shares of Common Stock of the Company equal to the sum of (1) the total number of shares of Common Stock of the Company then outstanding plus (2) the total number of shares of Common Stock of the Company into which all then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock of the Company are then convertible plus (3) the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company reserved for issuance under any stock purchase and stock option plans of the Company and outstanding warrants. A Major Investor shall be entitled to apportion the right of first offer hereby granted to it among itself and its partners, stockholders (so long as such Major Investor is a privately held company) and affiliated entities (including without limitation in the case of a

 

-16-


venture fund or similar investment vehicle, any other venture capital fund or investment vehicle affiliated or under common investment management with that fund or vehicle) in such proportions at it deems appropriate.

3.2 New Securities. "New Securities" shall mean any Common Stock or Preferred Stock of the Company, whether now authorized or not, and rights, options or warrants to purchase such Common Stock or Preferred Stock, and securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become, convertible or exchangeable into such Common Stock or Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the term "New Securities" does not include:

(a) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the outstanding shares of all the series of the Preferred Stock;

(b) shares of Common Stock (or options, warrants or rights therefor) granted or issued hereafter to employees, officers, directors, contractors, consultants or advisers to, the Company or any Subsidiary pursuant to incentive agreements, stock purchase or stock option plans, stock bonuses or awards, warrants, contracts or other arrangements that are approved by a majority of the Board of Directors;

(c) shares of the Company's Common Stock or Preferred Stock (and/or options or warrants therefor) issued or issuable other than primarily for equity financing purposes to parties that are (i) strategic partners investing in connection with a commercial relationship with the Company or (ii) providing the Company with equipment leases, real property leases, loans, credit lines, guaranties of indebtedness, cash price reductions or similar transactions, under arrangements, in each case, approved by a majority of the Board of Directors;

(d) shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the bona fide business acquisition of another corporation or entity by the Company by consolidation, merger, purchase of all or substantially all of the assets, or other reorganization in which the Company acquires, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, all or substantially all of the assets of such other corporation or entity or fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting power of such other corporation or entity or fifty percent (50%) or more of the equity ownership of such other entity; provided that such transaction or series of transactions has been approved by the Company's Board of Directors;

(e) shares of Series G Stock issued under the Series G Agreement, as such agreement may be amended;

(f) shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of any options, warrants or rights to purchase any securities of the Company outstanding as of the date of this Agreement and any securities issuable upon the conversion thereof;

(g) shares of the Company's Common Stock or Preferred Stock issued in connection with any stock split or stock dividend or recapitalization; and

(h) shares of the Company's Common Stock issued or issuable by the Company to the public pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act.

 

-17-


For purposes of this Section 3.2 only, "Preferred Stock" shall include the Company's Class A Junior Preferred Stock.

3.3 Procedures. In the event that the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of New Securities, it shall give to each Major Investor a written notice of its intention to issue New Securities (the "Notice"), describing the type of New Securities and the price and the general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue such New Securities given in accordance with Section 6.1 hereof. Each Major Investor shall have thirty (30) days from the date such Notice is effective, as determined pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof based upon the manner or method of notice, to agree in writing to purchase such Major Investor's Pro Rata Share of such New Securities for the price and upon the general terms specified in the Notice by giving written notice to the Company and stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased (not to exceed such Major Investor's Pro Rata Share). If any Major Investor fails to so agree in writing within such thirty (30) day period to purchase such Major Investor's full Pro Rata Share of an offering of New Securities (a "Nonpurchasing Holder"), then such Nonpurchasing Holder shall forfeit the right hereunder to purchase that part of his Pro Rata Share of such New Securities that he, she or it did not so agree to purchase and the Company shall promptly give each Major Investor who has timely agreed to purchase his full Pro Rata Share of such offering of New Securities (a "Purchasing Holder") written notice of the failure of any Nonpurchasing Holder to purchase such Nonpurchasing Holder's full Pro Rata Share of such offering of New Securities (the "Overallotment Notice"). Each Purchasing Holder shall have a right of overallotment such that such Purchasing Holder may agree to purchase all (or any part) of the Nonpurchasing Holders' unpurchased Pro Rata Shares of such offering, according to the relative Pro Rata Shares of the Purchasing Holders electing to purchase such overallotment shares, at any time within ten (10) days after the date the Overallotment Notice is effective pursuant to Section 6.1.

3.4 Failure to Exercise. In the event that the Major Investors fail to exercise in full the right of first refusal within such thirty (30) plus ten (10) day period, then the Company shall have ninety (90) days thereafter to sell the New Securities with respect to which the Major Investors' rights of first refusal hereunder were not exercised, at a price and upon general terms not materially more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the Company's Notice to the Major Investors. In the event that the Company has not issued and sold the New Securities within such ninety (90) day period, then the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities without again first offering such New Securities to the Major Investors pursuant to this Section 3.

3.5 Termination. This right of first refusal and the covenants set forth in Section 4 herein, shall terminate (a) immediately before the closing of the first underwritten sale of Common Stock of the Company to the public pursuant to a registration statement filed with, and declared effective by, the SEC under the Securities Act, covering the offer and sale of Common Stock to the public or (b) upon a Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined in the Restated Charter).

Any other purported assignment of the rights of an Investor under Section 1 shall be null and void. "Affiliate" shall mean with respect to any specified Person, or any other Person who or which, directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with such Person including without limitation any general partner, managing partner, managing member or majority shareholder of such Person or any venture capital fund now or hereafter existing that is controlled by one or more general partners or managing members of, or shares the same management company with, such Person.

-19-


however that no party may be assigned any of the foregoing rights unless the Company is given written notice by the assigning party at the time of such assignment stating the name and address of the assignee and identifying the securities of the Company as to which the rights in question are being assigned; provided further, that any such assignee of such rights is not deemed by the Board of Directors of the Company, in its reasonable judgment, to be a competitor of the Company; and provided further that any such assignee shall receive such assigned rights subject to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation the provisions of this Section 5.

AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED INVESTORS' RIGHTS AGREEMENT

This Amendment to Amended and Restated Investors' Rights Agreement (this "Amendment") is made as of October 4, 2013, by and among Twitter, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and the undersigned persons and entities listed on the signature pages hereto, and amends that certain Amended and Restated Investors' Rights Agreement dated as of November 14, 2011, by and among the Company and the persons and entities (the "Investors") listed on Exhibit A thereto (the "Investors' Rights Agreement"). All capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Investors' Rights Agreement.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, Section 5.2 of the Investors' Rights Agreement provides that any provision of the Investors' Rights Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived by the written consent of the Company and Investors holding shares of Senior Stock and/or Conversion Stock representing a majority of the Registrable Securities;

WHEREAS, the undersigned Investors hold shares of Senior Stock and/or Conversion Stock representing a majority of the Registrable Securities; and

WHEREAS, the Company and the undersigned Investors desire to amend the Investors' Rights Agreement as set forth herein.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing promises and certain other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the undersigned Investors hereby agree as follows:

1. Amendment. Section 2.9 of the Investors' Rights Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

"2.9 "Market Stand-Off" Agreement. Each Holder hereby agrees he, she or it will not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock, or any options or warrants to purchase any shares of Common Stock, or any securities convertible into, exchangeable for or that represent the right to receive shares of Common Stock, whether now owned or hereinafter acquired, owned directly by the Holder (including holding as a custodian) or with respect to which the Holder has beneficial ownership within the rules and regulations of the SEC (collectively the "Holder's Shares") other than any Shares sold to the underwriters of securities (the "Underwriters") pursuant to the underwriting agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") in connection with an initial public offering (the "Initial Public Offering") of shares (the "Shares") of Common Stock or as otherwise provided herein. The foregoing restriction is expressly agreed to preclude the Holder from engaging in any hedging or other transaction which is designed to or which reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in a sale or disposition of the Holder's Shares even if such shares would be disposed of by someone other than the Holder. Such prohibited hedging or other transactions would include without limitation any short sale or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including without limitation any put or call option) with respect to any of the Holder's Shares or with respect to any security that includes, relates to, or derives any significant part of its value from such shares.


The market stand-off period (the "Market Stand-Off Period") will commence on the date set forth on the final prospectus (the "Prospectus") used to sell the Shares (the "Initial Public Offering Date") pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement and continue for 180 days after the Initial Public Offering Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder may:


  (a) transfer the Holder's Shares:

  (i) as a bona fide gift or gifts, provided that the donee or donees thereof agree to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein,

  (ii) to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the Holder or the immediate family of the Holder or, if the Holder is a trust, to a trustor or beneficiary of the trust or to the estate of a beneficiary of such trust,

  (iii) by will or the laws of descent,

  (iv) in connection with a sale of the Holder's Shares acquired (A) from the Underwriters in the Initial Public Offering or (B) in open market transactions after the Initial Public Offering Date,

  (v) if the Holder is a corporation, partnership or other business entity, (A) to another corporation, partnership or other business entity that controls, is controlled by or managed by or is under common control with such stockholder or (B) as part of a distribution to an equityholder of the Holder or to the estate of any such equityholder,

  (vi) to the Company, as forfeitures to satisfy any income, employment or social tax withholding and remittance obligations of the Holder or the employer of the Holder in connection with the vesting of restricted stock units held by the Holder and outstanding as of the date of the Prospectus and described therein,

  (vii) if (A) the Initial Public Offering date set forth on the Prospectus is on or prior to December 31, 2013, (B) the Holder is an employee of the Company as of the date of transfer and (C) the Company does not elect to settle income tax withholding and remittance obligations of the Holder (or the employer of the Holder) in connection with the vesting of restricted stock units held by the Holder by withholding shares of Common Stock as forfeitures pursuant to subclause (vi) above, then from and after February 15, 2014, the Holder may transfer up to 49.9% of the Common Stock underlying restricted stock units held by the Holder that are vested and settled on or after February 15, 2014 to satisfy income tax withholding and remittance obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock units outstanding as of the date of the Prospectus and described therein (for avoidance of doubt, this right to transfer shares of Common Stock will apply on a particular date only with respect to Common Stock underlying restricted stock units held by the Holder that are vested and settled on or before such date),

  (viii) if the Initial Public Offering date set forth on the Prospectus is on or prior to December 31, 2013 and if the Holder is an employee of the Company as of the date of transfer, then from and after February 15, 2014, the Holder may transfer up to 17.6% of the Common Stock underlying restricted stock units held by the Holder that are vested and settled on or after February 15, 2014 to satisfy income tax obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock units outstanding as of the date of the Prospectus and described therein (for avoidance of doubt, this right to transfer shares of Common Stock will apply on a particular date only with respect to Common Stock underlying restricted

 

2


  stock units held by the Holder that are vested and settled on or before such date),

  (ix) to the Company, in connection with the receipt of shares of Common Stock upon the "net" or "cashless" exercise of options to purchase shares of Common Stock for purposes of exercising such options, including the payment of taxes due as a result of such exercise, with respect to stock options outstanding as of the date of the Prospectus and described therein, provided that any such shares of Common Stock received upon such exercise shall be subject to the terms of this market stand-off agreement,

  (x) to the Company, in connection with the repurchase of shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to an employee benefit plan disclosed in the Prospectus or pursuant to the agreements pursuant to which such shares were issued,

  (xi) pursuant to a bona fide third-party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction made to all holders of the Company's capital stock involving a change of control of the Company, provided that in the event that such tender offer, merger, consolidation or other such transaction is not completed, the Holder's Shares shall remain subject to the provisions of this market stand-off agreement,

  (xii) in connection with the conversion of the outstanding preferred stock of the Company into shares of Common Stock, provided that any such shares of Common Stock received upon such conversion shall be subject to the terms of this market stand-off agreement,

  (xiii) by operation of law, such as pursuant to a qualified domestic order or in connection with a divorce settlement, or

  (xiv) with the prior written consent of the Company;

provided, however, that in the case of subclauses (i), (ii), (iii), (v) and (xiii) above, it shall be a condition to the transfer or distribution that each transferee, donee or distributee shall execute an agreement stating that such transferee, donee or distributee is receiving and holding such capital stock subject to the provisions of this market stand-off agreement and there shall be no further transfer of such capital stock except in accordance with this market stand-off agreement; provided, further, that in the case of subclauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) (v), (vii), (viii) and (ix), it shall be a condition to the transfer or distribution that no filing under Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall be required or voluntarily made during the Market Stand-Off Period in connection with such transfer or distribution, other than, in the case of subclauses (i), (ii) and (iii), a filing on Form 5 required and filed within 45 days after December 31, 2013; and provided, further, that the aggregate number of the Holder's Shares that may be transferred pursuant to subclause (vii) and subclause (viii) shall not exceed 52.9% of the Holder's Shares underlying restricted stock units that are vested and settled on or after February 15, 2014; and


  (b) enter into a written plan meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act after the date of this Amendment relating to the sale of the Holder's Shares, if then permitted by the Company, provided that the securities subject to such plan may not be sold until after the expiration of the Market Stand-Off Period and no public announcement or filing under the Exchange Act regarding the establishment of such plan shall be required or voluntarily made during the Market Stand-Off Period.

For purposes of this Section 2.9, the term "immediate family" shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin and the term "Company" shall include any

 

3


wholly owned subsidiary of the Company into which the Company merges or consolidates. In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company shall have the right to place restrictive legends on the certificates representing the shares subject to this Section and to impose stop transfer instructions with respect to the Registrable Securities (and the shares or securities of every other person subject to the foregoing restriction) until the end of such period. Each Holder further agrees to enter into any agreement reasonably required by the underwriters to implement the foregoing within any reasonable timeframe so requested.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this market stand-off agreement will automatically terminate and the Holder will be released from all of his, her or its obligations of this Section 2.9 upon the earliest to occur, if any, of (i) the Company's Board of Directors making the formal determination not to proceed with the Initial Public Offering, (ii) the Company filing an application to withdraw the registration statement related to the Initial Public Offering, (iii) the Underwriting Agreement being executed but terminated (other than the provisions thereof which survive termination) prior to payment for and delivery of the shares of Common Stock to be sold thereunder, or (iv) June 30, 2014, in the event that the Underwriting Agreement has not been executed by such date."

2. Effectiveness. The provisions of this Amendment shall be effective upon the execution hereof by sufficient parties to amend the Investors' Rights Agreement.

3. Effect of Amendment. Except as set forth in this Amendment, the provisions of the Investors' Rights Agreement shall remain unchanged and shall continue in full force and effect.

4. Governing Law. This Amendment will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to that body of laws pertaining to conflict of laws.

5. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered will be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

6. Facsimile Signatures. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered will be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement
