the Pricing Prospectus, the effect of which, in any such case described in clause (i), (ii), or
(iii) is in your judgment so material and adverse as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to
proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the Shares being delivered at such Time of
Delivery on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus;
(h) On or after the Applicable Time (i) no downgrading shall have occurred in the rating

review, with possible negative implications, its rating of any of the Company’s debt securities;

(i) On or after the Applicable Time there shall not have occurred any of the following: (i) a
suspension or material limitation in trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange

hostilities involving the United States or the declaration by the United States of a national
emergency or war or (v) the occurrence of any other calamity or crisis or any change in financial,
political or economic conditions in the United States or elsewhere, if the effect of any such event
specified in clause (iv) or (v) in your judgment makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed
with the public offering or the delivery of the Shares being delivered at such Time of Delivery on
the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus;
(j) The Shares to be sold at such Time of Delivery shall have been duly listed, subject to

and as of such Time of Delivery, as to the performance by the Company and such Selling Stockholder
of all of their respective obligations hereunder to be performed at or prior to such Time of
Delivery, as to the matters set forth in subsections (a) and (j) of this Section 10, as applicable,
as to the existence and, to the extent applicable, good standing, of BroadSoft SAS (France), Packet
Island Technologies Private Limited (India), and BroadSoft Australia Pty Limited (Australia), in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Representatives
27
(which shall include as exhibits documents of a recent date issued by government agencies with
authority to confirm the existence of business entities), and as to such other matters as you may
reasonably request.
11. (a) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter against any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Underwriter may become subject,
under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of
a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing
Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, any Issuer Free Writing
Prospectus or any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under
the Act, or arise out of or are based upon 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, and will reimburse each Underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred
by such Underwriter in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such
expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to
the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration
Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment
or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity
with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through the Representative
expressly for use therein.
(b) Each of the Selling Stockholders will severally and not jointly indemnify and hold
harmless each Underwriter against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to
which such Underwriter may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration
Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment
or supplement thereto or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or arise out of or are based upon 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, in each case to the extent, but only to
the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission
was made in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the
Prospectus or any such amendment or supplement, thereto or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in
reliance upon and in
28
conformity with the Selling Stockholder Information furnished to the Company by such Selling
Stockholder expressly for use therein; and will reimburse each Underwriter for any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter in connection with investigating or defending any
such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that such Selling
Stockholder shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or
liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the
Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus or any such amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer
Free Writing Prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to
the Company by any Underwriter through the Representative expressly for use therein: provided,
further, that the liability of a Selling Stockholder pursuant to this subsection (b) hereof shall
not exceed the total proceeds (net of underwriting discounts and commissions, but before deducting
other expenses) paid by the Underwriters for the Shares to such Selling Stockholder or the
Custodian for the benefit of such Selling Stockholder for the Shares (including any Option Shares)
sold by such Selling Stockholder.
(c) Each Underwriter will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each Selling Stockholder
against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or such Selling Stockholder
may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any
Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement
thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon 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, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent,
that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in
the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus,
or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in reliance upon and
in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Underwriter through the
Representative expressly for use therein; and will reimburse the Company and each Selling
Stockholder for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or such Selling
Stockholder in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses
are incurred.
(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a), (b), or (c) above of
notice of the commencement of any action, such
29
indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying
party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof;
but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which
it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under such subsection. In case any such action
shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the
commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the
extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume
the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not,
except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after
notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the
defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such
subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently
incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable
costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the
indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment
with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or
contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or
potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i)
includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such
action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability
or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.
(e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 11 is unavailable to or insufficient
to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a), (b) or (c) above in respect of any
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then
each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as
a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and/or the
Selling Stockholders on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the
Shares. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not
permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under
subsection (c) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable
by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative
benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and/or the Selling Stockholders on the one hand
and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in
such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
30
thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits
received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand and the Underwriters on the
other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering
(before deducting expenses) received by the Company and/or the Selling Stockholders bear to the
total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set
forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault shall be determined by
reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the
Company or the Selling Stockholders on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other and the
parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent
such statement or omission. The Company, each of the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriters
agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (e) were
determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such
purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable
considerations referred to above in this subsection (e). The amount paid or payable by an
indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof) referred to above in this subsection (e) shall be deemed to include any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or
defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (e), (i) no
Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total
price at which the Shares underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the
public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay
by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission and (ii) in no
event shall a Selling Stockholder be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by
which (A) the total proceeds (net of underwriting discounts and commissions, but before deducting
other expenses) paid by the Underwriters for the Shares to such Selling Stockholder or the
Custodian for the benefit of such Selling Stockholder for the Shares (including any Option Shares)
sold by such Selling Stockholder pursuant to this Agreement exceeds (B) the amount of any damages
that such Selling Stockholder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The
Underwriters’ obligations in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to their
respective underwriting obligations and not joint. Further, the Selling Stockholders’ obligations
to contribute pursuant to this subsection (e) are several and not joint.
31
(f) The obligations of the Company and the Selling Stockholders under this Section 11 shall be
in addition to any liability which the Company and the respective Selling Stockholders may
otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who
controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Act and each broker-dealer affiliate of any
Underwriter; and the obligations of the Underwriters under this Section 11 shall be in addition to
any liability which the respective Underwriters may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same
terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company or any Selling Stockholder and to
each person, if any, who controls the Company or any Selling Stockholder within the meaning of the
Act.
(g) Notwithstanding anything to contrary in this Agreement, the aggregate liability of any
Selling Stockholder under Section 10(b), Section 10(e), Section 10(f) and otherwise under this
Agreement shall not exceed the total proceeds (net of underwriting discounts and commissions but
before deducting other expenses) paid by the Underwriters for the Shares to such Selling
Stockholder or the Custodian for the benefit of such Selling Stockholder for the Shares (including
any Option Shares) sold by such Selling Stockholder pursuant to this Agreement.
12. (a) If any Underwriter shall default in its obligation to purchase the Shares which it has
agreed to purchase hereunder at a Time of Delivery, you may in your discretion arrange for you or
another party or other parties to purchase such Shares on the terms contained herein. If within
thirty-six hours after such default by any Underwriter you do not arrange for the purchase of such
Shares, then the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall be entitled to a further period of
thirty-six hours within which to procure another party or other parties satisfactory to you to
purchase such Shares on such terms. In the event that, within the respective prescribed periods,
you notify the Company and the Selling Stockholders that you have so arranged for the purchase of
such Shares, or the Company and the Selling Stockholders notify you that they have so arranged for
the purchase of such Shares, you or the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall have the right
to postpone such Time of Delivery for a period of not more than seven days, in order to effect
whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or
in any other documents or arrangements, and the Company agrees to file promptly any amendments or
supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus which in your opinion may thereby be
made necessary. The term “Underwriter” as used in this Agreement shall include any person
substituted under this Section with like effect as if such person had originally been a party to
this Agreement with respect to such Shares.
32
(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Shares of a defaulting
Underwriter or Underwriters by you and the Company and the Selling Stockholders as provided in
subsection (a) above, the aggregate number of such Shares which remains unpurchased does not exceed
one-eleventh of the aggregate number of all the Shares to be purchased at such Time of Delivery,
then the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall have the right to require each non-defaulting
Underwriter to purchase the number of Shares which such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder at
such Time of Delivery and, in addition, to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase its
pro rata share (based on the number of Shares which such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder)
of the Shares of such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not
been made; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its
default.
(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Shares of a defaulting
Underwriter or Underwriters by you and the Company and the Selling Stockholders as provided in
subsection (a) above, the aggregate number of such Shares which remains unpurchased exceeds
one-eleventh of the aggregate number of all of the Shares to be purchased at such Time of Delivery,
or if the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall not exercise the right described in subsection
(b) above to require non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase Shares of a defaulting Underwriter or
Underwriters, then this Agreement (or, with respect to the Second Time of Delivery, the obligations
of the Underwriters to purchase and of the Selling Stockholders to sell the Optional Shares) shall
thereupon terminate, without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company
or the Selling Stockholders, except for the expenses to be borne by the Company, the Selling
Stockholders and the Underwriters as provided in Section 9 hereof and the indemnity and
contribution agreements in Section 11 hereof; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting
Underwriter from liability for its default.
13. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements
of the Company, the Selling Stockholders and the several Underwriters, as set forth in this
Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain
in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results
thereof) made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any controlling person of any Underwriter, or
the Company, or any of the Selling Stockholders, or any officer or director or controlling person
of the Company, or any controlling person of any Selling Stockholder, and shall survive delivery of
and payment for the Shares.
14. If this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 12 hereof, neither the Company
nor the Selling Stockholders shall then be under any liability
33
to any Underwriter except as provided in Sections 9 and 11 hereof; but, if for any other
reason, any Shares are not delivered by or on behalf of the Company and the Selling Stockholders as
provided herein, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters through you for all out-of-pocket
expenses approved in writing by you, including fees and disbursements of counsel, reasonably
incurred by the Underwriters in making preparations for the purchase, sale and delivery of the
Shares not so delivered, but the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall then be under no
further liability to any Underwriter in respect to of the Shares not so delivered except as
provided in Sections 9 and 11 hereof.
15. In all dealings hereunder, you shall act on behalf of each of the Underwriters, and the
parties hereto shall be entitled to act and rely upon any statement, request, notice or agreement
on behalf of any Underwriter made or given by you jointly and in all dealings with any Selling
Stockholder hereunder, you and the Company shall be entitled to act and rely upon any statement,
request, notice or agreement on behalf of such Selling Stockholder made or given by any
Attorneys-in-Fact for such Selling Stockholder.
All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing, and if to the
Underwriters shall be delivered or sent by mail to you as the Representative in care of Xxxxxxx,
Xxxxx & Co., 00 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, 00xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention: Registration
Department, Attention: Equity Syndicate Desk; if to any Selling Stockholder shall be delivered or
sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to counsel for such Selling Stockholder at its
address set forth in Schedule II hereto; and if to the Company shall be delivered or sent by mail,
telex or facsimile transmission to the address of the Company set forth in the Registration
Statement, Attention: Secretary; provided, however, that any notice to an Underwriter pursuant to
Section 11(c) hereof shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to such
Underwriter at its address set forth in its Underwriters’ Questionnaire, or telex constituting such
Questionnaire, which address will be supplied to the Company or the Selling Stockholders by you
upon request; provided, however, that notices under subsection 7(e) shall be in writing, and if to
the Underwriters shall be delivered or sent by mail or overnight courier, to you as the
Representative at Xxxxxxx, Sachs & Co., 00 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention:
Control Room. Any such statements, requests, notices or agreements shall take effect upon receipt
thereof.
In accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56
(signed into law October 26, 2001)), the Underwriters are required to obtain, verify and record
information that identifies their respective clients, including the Company, which information may
include the name and address of their respective clients, as well as other information that will
allow the Underwriters to properly identify their respective clients.
34
16. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure solely to the benefit of, the
Underwriters, the Company, the Selling Stockholders, and, to the extent provided in Sections 11 and
13 hereof, the officers and directors of the Company and each person who controls the Company, any
Selling Stockholder or any Underwriter, and their respective heirs, executors, administrators,
successors and assigns, and no other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of
this Agreement. No purchaser of any of the Shares from any Underwriter shall be deemed a successor
or assign by reason merely of such purchase.
17. Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement. As used herein, the term “business day”
shall mean any day when the Commission’s office in Washington, D.C. is open for business.
18. The Company and each Selling Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that (i) the purchase and
sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the
Company and the Selling Stockholders, on the one hand, and the several Underwriters, on the other,
(ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction each Underwriter is
acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Company or any Selling
Stockholder, (iii) no Underwriter has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of
the Company or any Selling Stockholder with respect to the offering contemplated hereby or the
process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or is currently
advising the Company or any Selling Stockholder on other matters) or any other obligation to the
Company or any Selling Stockholder except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement and
(iv) the Company and each Selling Stockholder has consulted their own legal and financial advisors
to the extent they deemed appropriate. The Company and each of the Selling Stockholders agrees
that it will not claim that the Underwriters, or any of them, has rendered advisory services of any
nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Company or any Selling Stockholder,
in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.
19. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or
oral) between the Company, the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriters, or any of them, with
respect to the subject matter hereof.
20. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY MATTERS RELATED TO THIS TRANSACTION SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF
CONFLICT OF LAWS THAT WOULD RESULT
35
IN THE APPLICATION OF ANY LAW OTHER THAN THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. The Company and
each Selling Stockholder agrees that any suit or proceeding arising in respect of this Agreement or
our engagement will be tried exclusively in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of
New York or, if that court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, in any state court located in
The City and County of New York and the Company and each Selling Stockholder agrees to submit to
the jurisdiction of, and to venue in, such courts.
21. The Company, each Selling Stockholder and each of the Underwriters hereby irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in
any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated
hereby.
22. This Agreement may be executed by any one or more of the parties hereto in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall
together constitute one and the same instrument.
23. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company and the Selling Stockholders
are authorized to disclose to any persons the U.S. federal and state income tax treatment and tax
structure of the potential transaction and all materials of any kind (including tax opinions and
other tax analyses) provided to the Company and the Selling Stockholders relating to that treatment
and structure, without the Underwriters imposing any limitation of any kind. However, any
information relating to the tax treatment and tax structure shall remain confidential (and the
foregoing sentence shall not apply) to the extent necessary to enable any person to comply with
securities laws. For this purpose, “tax structure” is limited to any facts that may be relevant to
that treatment.
36
If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding, please sign and return to us six
counterparts hereof, and upon the acceptance hereof by you, on behalf of each of the Underwriters,
this letter and such acceptance hereof shall constitute a binding agreement among each of the
Underwriters, the Company and each of the Selling Stockholders. It is understood that your
acceptance of this letter on behalf of each of the Underwriters is pursuant to the authority set
forth in a form of Agreement among Underwriters, the form of which shall be submitted to the
Company and the Selling Stockholders for examination upon request, but without warranty on your
part as to the authority of the signers thereof.
Any person executing and delivering this Agreement as Attorney in Fact for a Selling
Stockholder represents by so doing that he has been duly appointed as Attorney in Fact by such
Selling Stockholder pursuant to a validly existing and binding Power-of-Attorney which authorizes
such Attorney in Fact to take such action.
