Re: Series D Convertible Preferred Stock
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Akamai Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"),
agrees with you as follows:
ARTICLE I
PURCHASE, SALE AND TERMS OF SHARES
1.01 The Preferred Shares. The Company has authorized the issuance and
sale of up to 685,194 shares of its previously authorized but unissued shares of
Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Series D
Preferred Stock"), at a purchase price of $18.243 per share to Apple Computer
Inc. Ltd. (the "Purchaser"). The designation, rights, preferences and other
terms and conditions relating to the Series D Preferred Stock are as set forth
on Exhibit 1.01 hereto. The Series D Preferred Stock is sometimes referred to
herein as the "Preferred Shares."
1.02 The Converted Shares. The Company has authorized and has reserved
and covenants to continue to reserve, free of preemptive rights and other
preferential rights, a sufficient number of its previously authorized but
unissued shares of Common Stock to satisfy the rights of conversion of the
holders of the Preferred Shares. Any shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Preferred Shares, and such shares when issued, are herein
referred to as the "Converted Shares."
1.03 The Shares. The Preferred Shares and the Converted Shares are
sometimes collectively referred to herein as the "Shares."
1.04 Purchase Price, Closing and Repurchase Option.
(a) The Closing. The Company agrees to issue and sell to the
Purchaser and, subject to and in reliance upon the representations, warranties,
covenants, terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Purchaser agrees to
purchase 685,194 shares of Series D Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase
price of $12,499,994.14. The purchase and sale shall take place at a closing
(the "Closing") to be held on or before June 21, 1999, at 10:00 A.M., at such
location and at such time as may be mutually agreed upon, subject to the
satisfaction of all of the conditions to the Closing specified in Article II
herein. At the Closing the Company will issue and deliver
<PAGE> 6
certificates evidencing the shares of Series D Preferred Stock to be sold at the
Closing to the Purchaser (or its nominee) against payment of the full purchase
price therefor by (i) wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account
designated by the Company, (ii) check payable to the order of the Company or its
designee, or (iii) any combination of (i) and (ii) above.
(b) Repurchase Option. The Company and the Purchaser
acknowledge that, simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, the
Company and Apple Computer, Inc. ("Apple") are entering into a Strategic
Alliance and Master Services Agreement relating to, among other things, the
network that supports QT-TV (the "Services Agreement"). If at any time prior to
the first anniversary of the effective date of this Agreement, Apple
discontinues QT-TV pursuant to Section 7.4 of the Services Agreement (the
discontinuance described in the foregoing clause being hereinafter referred to
as the "Triggering Event"), then the Company shall have the right and option to
purchase all (but not less than all) of the Shares (or the Converted Shares, if
applicable) from the Purchaser (or its successor or assigns), and the Purchaser
(or its successor or assigns) shall be obligated to sell such Shares (or
Converted Shares, if applicable) to the Company, at a purchase price per share
equal to the Market Price. For purposes of this Section 1.04(b), the "Market
Price" shall be determined as follows:
(i) If the Company's Common Stock is listed on a
national securities exchange, the NASDAQ National Market System, the NASDAQ
system, or another nationally recognized exchange or trading system (an
"Exchange") as of the date of the Triggering Event, then the Market Price shall
be deemed to be the average closing price per share of the Company's Common
Stock on such Exchange for the 20 trading days ending on the trading day prior
to the date of the Triggering Event; provided that if the Company's Common Stock
has been listed on an Exchange for fewer than 21 trading days, the Market Price
shall be deemed to be the average closing price per share of the Company's
Common Stock since it has been listed on such Exchange.
(ii) If the Company's Common Stock is not listed on
an Exchange as of the date of the Triggering Event, then the Market Price shall
be the fair market value per share of the Shares as of the date of the
Triggering Event as determined in good faith by the Company's Board of
Directors; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall have the right to contest
such determination by giving notice thereof to the Company within ten days of
such determination, and in such event the Market Price shall be the fair market
value per share of the Shares as of the date of the Triggering Event as
determined by an independent appraiser to be selected by the Company and
approved by the Purchaser, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
The independent appraiser's fees and expenses shall be paid as follows:
(A) If the Market Price as determined by the
independent appraiser is less than or equal to 110% of the Market Price
determined by the Company's Board of Directors, then the independent appraiser's
fees and expenses shall be paid by the Purchaser.
(B) If the Market Price as determined by the
independent appraiser is greater than 110% of the Market Price determined by the
Company's Board of Directors, then the independent appraiser's fees and expenses
shall be paid by the Company.
The Company may exercise its right to repurchase Shares pursuant to this Section
1.04(b) by delivering written notice (the "Repurchase Notice") to the Purchaser
no later than forty (40) days
2
<PAGE> 7
after the Triggering Event. The Purchaser (or its successor or assigns) shall be
obligated to sell such Shares to the Company within ten (10) days after receipt
of the Repurchase Notice upon receipt of the purchase price therefor; provided,
however, that in the event such purchase price shall be determined by an
independent appraiser pursuant to clause (iii) above, the Purchaser shall not be
obligated to sell such Shares to the Company until such determination has been
made and such purchase price has been paid.
1.05 Restrictions on Transfer and Standstill Agreement.
(a) Transfer Restrictions. Without the prior written
permission of the Company, no more than 25% of the Shares may be sold or
transferred by the Purchaser (except to a wholly-owned subsidiary or a
wholly-owned subsidiary of a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Purchaser, or the
like); provided, however, that if the Purchaser wishes to sell or transfer any
Shares to a third party, it shall first submit a written offer to sell such
Shares to the Company on terms and conditions, including price, not less
favorable to the Company than those on which it proposes to sell such Shares to
such third party (the "Offer"). The Offer shall disclose the identity of the
proposed purchaser or transferee, the Shares proposed to be sold or transferred
and the agreed terms of the sale or transfer. If the Offer provides that the
purchase price for the Shares shall be paid other than in cash, then the
per-Share purchase price for the Shares subject to the Offer shall be deemed to
be the Section 1.05 Market Price (as defined below). Within five days after
receipt of the Offer, the Company shall give written notice to the Purchaser of
its intent to purchase all or none of the offered Shares on the same terms and
conditions as set forth in the Offer. The Company can pay the cash equivalent of
any non-cash consideration based on the Section 1.05 Market Price. If the
Company does not purchase all of the Shares offered by the Purchaser pursuant to
the Offer, such Shares may be sold by the Purchaser at any time within 90 days
after the date of the Offer at not less than the price and upon other terms and
conditions, if any, not more favorable to such proposed purchaser or transferee
than those specified in the Offer. All restrictions set forth in this Section
1.05(a) shall terminate upon the earlier of the date one year after the date of
(i) closing of a Qualified Public Offering (as defined in Section 5.01 of the
Agreement) or (ii) registration of a class of the Company's securities under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"). For purposes of
this Section 1.05(a), the "Section 1.05 Market Price" shall be determined as
follows:
(i) If the Company's Common Stock is listed on an
Exchange as of the date of the Offer, then the Section 1.05 Market Price shall
be deemed to be the average closing price per share of the Company's Common
Stock on such Exchange for the 20 trading days ending on the trading day prior
to the date of the Offer; provided that if the Company's Common Stock has been
listed on an Exchange for fewer than 21 trading days, the Section 1.05 Market
Price shall be deemed to be the average closing price per share of the Company's
Common Stock since it has been listed on such Exchange.
(ii) If the Company's Common Stock is not listed on
an Exchange as of the date of the Offer, then the Section 1.05 Market Price
shall be the fair market value per share of the Shares as of the date of the
Offer as determined in good faith by the Purchaser's Board of Directors;
provided, however, that the Company shall have the right to contest such
determination by giving notice thereof to the Purchaser within ten days of such
determination, and in such event the Section 1.05 Market Price shall be the fair
market value per share of the
3
<PAGE> 8
Shares as of the date of the Offer as determined by an independent appraiser to
be selected by the Purchaser and approved by the Company, which approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld. The independent appraiser's fees and expenses
shall be paid as follows:
(A) If the Section 1.05 Market Price as
determined by the independent appraiser is less than or equal to 110% of the
Section 1.05 Market Price determined by the Purchaser's Board of Directors, then
the independent appraiser's fees and expenses shall be paid by the Company.
(B) If the Section 1.05 Market Price as
determined by the independent appraiser is greater than 110% of the Section 1.05
Market Price determined by the Purchaser's Board of Directors, then the
independent appraiser's fees and expenses shall be paid by the Purchaser.
(b) Standstill Agreement. The Purchaser hereby agrees that
from and after the date hereof until the earlier of the date one year after the
date of (i) closing of a Qualified Public Offering (as defined in Section 5.01
of this Agreement) or (ii) registration of a class of the Company's securities
under the 1934 Act, unless such shall have been specifically invited in writing
by the Company, neither Purchaser nor any of its affiliates (as such term is
defined under the 1934 Act) or agents will in any manner, directly or
indirectly, (a) effect or seek, offer or propose (whether publicly or otherwise)
to effect, or cause or participate in or in any way assist any other Person to
effect or seek, offer or propose (whether publicly or otherwise) to effect or
participate in, (i) any acquisition of any securities (or beneficial ownership
thereof) or assets of the Company, except that during the one-year period from
and after a Qualified Public Offering, the Purchaser may acquire capital stock
of the Company provided that after any such acquisition, the Purchaser and its
affiliates shall beneficially own no more than 10% of each class of the
Company's voting securities; (ii) any tender or exchange offer, merger or other
business combination involving the Company; (iii) any recapitalization,
restructuring, liquidation, dissolution or other extraordinary transaction with
respect to the Company; or (iv) any "solicitation" of "proxies" (as such terms
are used in the proxy rules of the Commission) or consents to vote any voting
securities of the Company; (b) otherwise act, alone or in concert with others,
to seek control of the Company's Board of Directors; or (c) take any action
which might require the Company to make a public announcement regarding any of
the types of matters set forth in (a) above. Notwithstanding the above in this
Section 1.05(b), if (i) following the Company's initial public offering a bona
fide tender offer that seeks to acquire more than 50% of the outstanding voting
securities of the Company is commenced by a third party unaffiliated with the
Purchaser, or (ii) prior to the Company's initial public offering any
individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2)
of the 1934 Act) other than the Purchaser and its affiliates acquires more than
50% of the Company's outstanding voting securities, then any above restriction
contained in this Section 1.05(b) imposed on the Purchaser will immediately
terminate, and the Purchaser shall be free to acquire or offer to acquire any or
all outstanding shares of the Company. Prior to the Company's initial public
offering, the Company will provide written notice to the Purchaser immediately
after the Company learns of any such individual, entity or group acquiring more
than 25% of the Company's outstanding voting securities. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section, the Purchaser shall be entitled to
acquire securities of the Company pursuant to Section 4.1 of the Amended and
Restated Stockholders' Agreement (as defined in Section 2.03(b) below).
4
<PAGE> 9
(c) "Most Favored Nation". If (i) the Company sells securities
to a Strategic Investor (as defined in Section 4.6(m) of the Amended and
Restated Stockholders' Agreement) and (ii) in connection with its purchase of
such securities, such Strategic Investor is subject to provisions less
restrictive than those set forth in Sections 1.05(a) or 1.05(b) above to
purchase and/or sell securities of the Company, then the Company shall amend
such sections, and/or take such other actions as may be required (including
releasing restrictions imposed by Sections 1.05(a) or 1.05(b)), in order that
the Purchaser obtains rights no less favorable than those obtained by such
Strategic Investor to purchase and/or sell securities of the Company.
1.06 Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the proceeds from the sale
of the Preferred Shares under this Agreement for working capital and general
corporate purposes.
1.07 Representations and Warranties by the Purchaser. The Purchaser
represents and warrants that (a) it will acquire the Preferred Shares for its
own account and that the Preferred Shares are being acquired by it for the
purpose of investment and not with a view to distribution or resale thereof; (b)
the execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the
part of the Purchaser, and this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered,
and constitutes a valid, legal, binding and enforceable agreement of the
Purchaser; (c) it has taken no action which would give rise to any claim by any
other person for any brokerage commissions, finders' fees or the like relating
to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; (d) the Purchaser has
had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from representatives
of the Company concerning the terms of the offering of the Preferred Shares and
to obtain additional information concerning the Company and its business; and
(e) the Purchaser has the ability to evaluate the merits and risks of an
investment in the Preferred Shares and can bear the economic risks of such
investment. The acquisition by the Purchaser of the Preferred Shares shall
constitute a confirmation of the representations and warranties made by the
Purchaser as at the date of such acquisition. The Purchaser further represents
that it understands and agrees that, until registered under the Securities Act
or transferred pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144 as promulgated by the
Commission, all certificates evidencing any of the Shares, whether upon initial
issuance or upon any transfer thereof, shall bear a legend, prominently stamped
or printed thereon, reading substantially as follows:
"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE
STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, MORTGAGED,
PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933, AS AMENDED, AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR THE
AVAILABILITY OF AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION PROVISIONS OF THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES
LAWS."

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY
The Company hereby represents and warrants as follows as of the date
hereof and as of the date of the Closing:
3.01 Organization and Standing. The Company is a duly organized and
validly existing corporation in good standing under the corporate laws of the
State of Delaware and has all requisite corporate power and authority for the
ownership and operation of its properties and for the carrying on of its
business as now conducted or as now proposed to be conducted. The Company is
duly licensed or qualified and in good standing as a foreign corporation
authorized to do business in all jurisdictions wherein the character of the
property owned or leased, or the nature of the activities conducted, by it makes
such licensing or qualification necessary as set forth in Exhibit 3.01, except
where the failure to so qualify would not have a material adverse effect on the
business, operations, affairs or condition of the Company or in its properties
or assets taken as a whole, or which might call into question the validity of
this Agreement, any of the Shares, or any action taken or to be taken pursuant
hereto or thereto (a "Material Adverse Effect").
3.02 Corporate Action. The Company has all necessary corporate power
and has taken all corporate action required to enter into and perform this
Agreement, the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, the Amended
and Restated Stockholders Agreement and any other agreements and instruments
executed in connection herewith (collectively, the "Financing Documents"). The
Financing Documents are valid and binding obligations of the Company,
enforceable in accordance with their terms. The issuance, sale and delivery of
the Preferred Shares in accordance with this Agreement, and the issuance, sale
and delivery of the Converted Shares, have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate action on the part of the Company. Sufficient authorized but unissued
shares of Common Stock have been reserved by appropriate corporate action in
connection with the prospective conversion of the Preferred Shares at the
initial conversion price, and the issuance of the Preferred Shares is not, and
the issuance of the Converted Shares upon the conversion of the Preferred Shares
will not be, subject to preemptive rights or other preferential rights in any
present stockholders of the Company and will not conflict with any provision of
any agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it or
its property is bound.
3.03 Governmental Approvals. Except for the filing of any notice
subsequent to the Closing that may be required under applicable state and/or
federal securities laws (which, if required, shall be filed on a timely basis
and a copy of which shall be provided to the Purchaser), no authorization,
consent, approval, license, exemption of or filing or registration with any
court or governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or
instrumentality, domestic or foreign, is or will be necessary for the execution
and delivery by the Company of this Agreement, for the offer, issue, sale and
delivery of the Preferred Shares, or for the performance by the Company of its
obligations under this Agreement or the Shares.
3.04 Litigation. Except as set forth in Exhibit 3.04, there is no
litigation or governmental proceeding or investigation pending or, to the
knowledge of the Company, threatened against the Company affecting any of its
respective properties or assets, or against any officer or Key Employee relating
to such person's performance of duties for the Company
8
<PAGE> 13
or relating to his stock ownership in the Company or otherwise relating to the
business of the Company, nor to the knowledge of the Company has there occurred
any event or does there exist any condition on the basis of which any such
litigation, proceeding or investigation might properly be instituted. Neither
the Company nor, to the knowledge of the Company, any officer or Key Employee of
the Company (other than the Purchaser) is in default with respect to any order,
writ, injunction, decree, ruling or decision of any court, commission, board or
other governmental agency specifically naming the Company or an officer or Key
Employee of the Company. Except as set forth in Exhibit 3.04, there are no
actions or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened
against the Company or against any officer or Key Employee which could
reasonably be expected to result, either in any case or in the aggregate, in any
Material Adverse Effect. The foregoing sentences include, without limiting their
generality, actions pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened (or
any basis therefor), involving the prior employment of any of the Company's
officers or employees (including any Key Employees) or their use in connection
with the Company's business of any information or techniques allegedly
proprietary to any of their former employers.
3.05 Certain Agreements of Officers, Founders and Key Employees.
(a) To the knowledge of the Company, no officer or Key
Employee of the Company is in violation of any term of any employment contract,
patent disclosure agreement, proprietary information agreement, noncompetition
agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant
relating to the employment of any such officer or Key Employee by the Company,

Amount and the Current Series D Value. Each of the arbitrators shall be a member
in good standing of the American Arbitration Association. The Company and the
Purchaser shall each be permitted to submit written positions and arguments to
the arbitrators concerning the matters at issue before the arbitrators. The fees
and expenses of the arbitrators shall be borne (i) 100% by the Company, if the
Loss Amount as determined by the arbitrators is greater than or equal to 50% of
the estimated amount of the Loss as set forth in the Loss Notice, or (ii) 100%
by the Purchaser submitting the Loss Notice, if the Loss Amount as determined by
