THIS STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made as of the 1st day of October,
2004, by and among SYNACOR, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the investors
listed on Schedule A hereto, each of which is herein referred to as an “Investor.”
THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
1. Purchase and Sale of Stock.

Certificate”).
(b) On or prior to the Closing (as defined below), the Company shall have authorized (i) the
sale and issuance to the Investors of up to 3,500,000 shares of its Series B Preferred Stock (the
“Shares”) at a purchase price of $2.00 per share pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) the
issuance of the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of the Shares (the
“Conversion Shares”). The Shares and the Conversion Shares shall have the rights,
preferences, privileges and restrictions set forth in the Restated Certificate.
(c) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Investor agrees, severally and
not jointly, to purchase at the Closing or pursuant to Section 1.3 and the Company agrees to sell
and issue to each Investor at the Closing or pursuant to Section 1.3, that number of Shares set
forth opposite such Investor’s name on Schedule A hereto for $2.00 per share (the
“Series B Purchase Price”).
1.2 Initial Closing. The purchase and sale of the Shares shall take place at the
offices of Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxxx, LLP (“Xxxxxxxxx
Xxxxxxx”), 000 Xxxx 00xx Xxxxxx, 00xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000, at 10
A.M. (local time), on the date hereof, or at such other time and place as the Company and Investors
acquiring in the aggregate a majority of the Shares sold pursuant to this Agreement agree upon
orally or in writing (which time and place are designated as the “Initial Closing”). At
the Initial Closing the Company shall deliver to each Investor participating therein (x) any
certificates, instruments and documents referred to in Section 4 below and (y) a share certificate
representing the Shares that such Investor is purchasing against payment of the purchase price
therefor by check, wire transfer or any combination thereof.
1.3 Subsequent Sale of Series B Preferred Stock. The Company may sell the balance of
the Shares authorized in the Restated Certificate and to be sold pursuant to
this Agreement but not

agreement for such sale is executed within sixty (60) days after the Closing. All such purchases
of Shares shall be made on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, including, without
limitation, satisfaction of the representations and warranties by the Investors as set forth in
Section 3. Such purchases of Shares shall be made by each subsequent purchaser by executing
counterpart signature pages to this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (as defined below),
making such purchaser a party and bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the
Ancillary Agreements. Any Shares sold pursuant to this Section 1.3 shall be deemed to be “Shares”
for all purposes under this Agreement and any purchasers thereof shall be deemed to be “Investors”

to this Section 1.3 shall be deemed a “Subsequent Closing,” and the Initial Closing or any
Subsequent Closing may be referred to herein as a “Closing.” At any Subsequent Closing,
the Company shall deliver to each New Investor a share certificate representing the shares that
such New Investor is purchasing against payment of the purchase price therefor by check or wire
transfer. Schedule A to this Agreement shall be updated to reflect the number of Shares
purchased at each Subsequent Closing and the parties purchasing such Shares and shall thereafter be

to be conducted without any violation or infringement of the rights of others, except for such
items as have yet to be conceived or developed or that are expected to be available for licensing
on reasonable terms from third parties. The Schedule of Exceptions contains a complete list of
patents and pending patent applications and registrations and applications for trademarks,
copyrights and domain names of, or exclusively licensed to, the Company and each Subsidiary. There

interests of any kind relating to anything referred to above in this Section 2.10 that is to any
extent owned by or exclusively licensed to the Company or any Subsidiary, nor is the Company or any
Subsidiary bound by or a party to any options, licenses or agreements of any kind with respect to

licenses, information, proprietary rights and/or processes of any other person or entity, except,
in either case, for standard “off-the-shelf” end-user, object code, internal-use software license
and support/maintenance agreements. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any
communications alleging that the Company or any Subsidiary has violated any of the patents,
trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights or trade secrets or other proprietary rights of
any other person or entity and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is aware of any potential
basis for such an allegation or of any specific reason to believe that such an allegation may be
forthcoming. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is aware of any infringement upon or
misappropriation of any IP of the Company or any Subsidiary. Neither the Company nor any

covenants or commitments of any nature) or other agreement, or subject to any judgment, decree or
order of any court or administrative agency, that would interfere with the use of his or her best
efforts to promote the interests of the Company or such Subsidiary or that would conflict with the
Company’s or any Subsidiary’s business as presently conducted or as proposed to be conducted.
Neither the execution nor delivery of this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, nor the carrying
on of the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s business by its respective employees, nor the conduct of
the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s business as proposed, will, to the Company’s knowledge, conflict
with or result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default
under, any contract, covenant or instrument under which any of such employees is now obligated.
Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary believes it is or will be necessary to utilize any
inventions of any of its employees made prior to or outside the scope of their employment by the
Company or such Subsidiary.
2.11 Confidentiality Agreements. Since November 18, 2002, each employee, officer and
consultant of the Company and each Subsidiary has executed a Confidentiality Agreement or
Consulting Agreement, as applicable, in substantially the forms previously provided to counsel for
the Investors. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is aware that any of its respective
employees, officers or consultants is in violation thereof, and the Company and each Subsidiary
will use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent any such violation.
2.12 Compliance with Other Instruments. The Company is not in violation or default in
any material respect of any provision of its Restated Certificate or Bylaws, or in any material
respect of any instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree or contract to which it is a party or by
which it is bound, or, to its knowledge, of any provision of any federal or state statute, rule or
regulation applicable to the Company. The execution, delivery and performance
6
of this Agreement
and the Ancillary Agreements, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby will not result in any such violation or default or be in conflict with or constitute, with
or without the passage of time and giving of notice, either a default under any such provision,
instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree or contract or an event that results in the creation of
any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any assets of the Company or the suspension, revocation,
impairment, forfeiture, or nonrenewal of any material permit, license, authorization, or approval
applicable to the Company, its business or operations or any of its assets or properties.

Business Administration (the “SBA”), and represents and warrants to each such Investor that
is an SBIC that the Company, taken together with its “affiliates” (as that term is defined in 13
C.F.R. §121.103), is a “Small Business Concern” within the meaning of 15 U.S.C. §622(5), that is
Section 103(5) of the Small Business Investment Act of 1958, as amended (the “SBIC Act”),

complete.
2.21 Financial Statements. The Company has delivered to each Investor its
consolidated unaudited financial statements (balance sheet and income and cash flow statements,

consolidated unaudited financial statements (balance sheet and income statement) as at and for the
eight-month period ended August 31, 2004 (the “Financial Statements”). The Financial
Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied
on a consistent basis throughout the periods indicated and with each other, except that the
unaudited Financial Statements may not contain all footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles. The Financial Statements fairly present the financial condition and
operating results of the Company as of the dates, and for the periods, indicated therein, subject
in the case of the unaudited Financial Statements to normal year-end audit adjustments. Except as
set forth in the Financial Statements, the Company has no material liabilities, contingent or
otherwise, other than (i) liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business subsequent to
August 31, 2004 (the
“Financial Statement Date”) and (ii) obligations under contracts and commitments
incurred in the ordinary course of business and not required under generally accepted accounting
principles to be reflected in the Financial Statements, which, in both cases, individually or in
the aggregate, are not material to the financial condition or operating results of the Company.
Except as disclosed in the Financial Statements, the Company is not a guarantor or indemnitor of
any indebtedness of any other person, firm or corporation. The Company maintains and will continue
to maintain a standard system of accounting established and administered in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.

adversely affecting the assets, properties, financial condition, operating results, prospects or

(c) any waiver by the Company of a valuable right or of a material debt owed to it;
(d) any satisfaction or discharge of any lien, claim or encumbrance or payment of any

(e) any material change or amendment to a material contract or arrangement by which the
Company or any of its assets or properties is bound or subject;

are true and correct in all material respects except to the extent that a reserve has been
reflected on the Financial Statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
The Company has paid all taxes and other assessments due, except those contested by it in good
faith that are listed in the Schedule of Exceptions and except to the extent that a reserve has
been reflected on the Financial Statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. The provision for taxes of the Company as shown in the Financial Statements is
adequate for taxes due or accrued as of the date thereof. The Company has not elected pursuant to
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), to be treated as a Subchapter S
corporation or a collapsible corporation pursuant to Section 1362(a) or Section 341(f) of the Code,
nor has it made any other elections pursuant to the Code (other than elections that relate solely
to methods of accounting, depreciation or amortization) that would have a material effect on the
Company, its financial condition, its business as presently conducted or proposed to be conducted
or any of its properties or material assets. The Company has never had any tax deficiency proposed
or assessed against it and has not executed any waiver of any statute of limitations on the
assessment or collection of any tax or governmental charge. None of the Company’s federal income
tax returns and none of its state income or franchise tax or sales or use tax returns has ever been
audited by governmental authorities. Since the Financial Statement Date, the Company has not
incurred any taxes, assessments or governmental charges other than in the ordinary course of
business and the Company has made adequate provisions on its books of account for all taxes,
assessments and governmental charges with respect to its business,
properties and operations for such period. The Company has withheld or collected from each
payment made to each of its employees, the amount of all taxes (including, but not limited to,
federal income taxes, Federal Insurance Contribution Act taxes and Federal Unemployment Tax Act
taxes) required to be withheld or collected therefrom, and has paid the same to the proper tax
receiving officers or authorized depositories.
2.25 Insurance. The Company has in full force and effect workers’ compensation
insurance required by the applicable law, fire and casualty insurance policies, with extended
coverage customary for companies similarly situated and, in the case of fire and casualty
insurance, sufficient in amount (subject to reasonable deductibles) to allow it to replace any of
its properties that might be damaged or destroyed.
2.26 Minute Books. The minute books of the Company provided or made available to the
Investors contain a complete summary of all meetings and actions taken by written consent of
directors and any committee thereof and stockholders since the time of incorporation and reflect
all transactions referred to in such minutes or consents accurately in all material respects. The
stock ledger of the Company as provided to counsel to the Investors is complete and reflects all
issuances, transfers, repurchases and cancellations of shares of capital stock of the Company.
2.27 Labor Agreements and Actions; Employee Compensation. Neither the Company nor any
Subsidiary is bound by or subject to (and none of their assets or properties is bound by or subject
to) any written or oral, express or implied, contract, commitment or arrangement with any labor
union, and no labor union has requested or, to the Company’s knowledge, has sought to represent any
of the employees, representatives or agents of the
11
Company or any Subsidiary. There is no strike
or other labor dispute involving the Company or any Subsidiary pending, or to the Company’s
knowledge, threatened, that could have a material adverse effect on the assets, properties,
financial condition, operating results, or business of the Company or any Subsidiary (as such
businesses are presently conducted and as it is proposed to be conducted), nor is the Company or
any Subsidiary aware of any labor organization activity involving its employees. Neither the
Company nor any Subsidiary is aware that any officer or key employee, or that any group of key
employees, intends to terminate their employment with the Company or such Subsidiary, nor does the
Company or any Subsidiary have a present intention to terminate the employment of any of the
foregoing. The employment of each officer and employee of the Company and each Subsidiary is
terminable at the will of the Company. To the knowledge of the Company, the Company and each
Subsidiary has complied in all material respects with all applicable state and federal equal
employment opportunity and other laws related to employment. Neither the Company nor any
Subsidiary is a party to or bound by any currently effective employment contract, deferred
compensation agreement, bonus plan, incentive plan, profit sharing plan, retirement agreement, or
other employee compensation agreement.
2.28 Other Agreements of Employees. To the Company’s knowledge, no officer, director,
stockholder, or employee of the Company or any Subsidiary is a party to or bound by any agreement,
contract, or commitment that materially and adversely affects the business, operations or prospects
of the
Company or any Subsidiary, or the right of any such person to participate in the Company’s or
any Subsidiary’s affairs and perform the duties of his office or capacity in connection therewith,
or that obligates any such person to perform any duty for any prior employer or principal.

binding obligation, enforceable in
accordance with its terms except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of
creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific
performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies, and (iii) to the extent the

3.2 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with such Investor in
reliance upon such Investor’s representation to the Company, which by such Investor’s execution of
this Agreement such Investor hereby confirms, that the Shares to be received by such Investor and
the Conversion Shares (collectively, the “Securities”) will be acquired for investment for
such Investor’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the distribution of
any part thereof, and that such Investor has no present intention of selling, granting any
participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, such Investor
further represents that such Investor does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or
arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any
third person, with respect to any of the Securities.
3.3 Disclosure of Information. Such Investor believes it has received all the
information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to purchase the Shares.
Such Investor further represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive
answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Shares and the

does not limit or modify the representations and warranties of the Company in Section 2 of this
Agreement or the right of the Investors to rely thereon.
3.4 Investment Experience. Such Investor is an investor in securities of companies in
the development stage and acknowledges that it is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic
risk of its investment, and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that

of SEC Rule 501 of Regulation D, as presently in effect.

being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under
such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the
Act, only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, such Investor represents that it
is familiar with SEC Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations
imposed thereby and by the Act.

disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such Registration Statement; or
(b) (i) Such Investor shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall
have furnished the Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed
disposition, and (ii) if reasonably requested by the Company, such Investor shall have furnished

disposition will not require registration of such shares under the Act. It is agreed that the
Company will not require opinions of counsel for transactions made pursuant to Rule 144 except in
unusual circumstances.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections (a) and (b) above, no such registration
statement or opinion of counsel shall be necessary for a transfer by an Investor that is a
partnership to a partner of such partnership or a retired partner of such partnership who retires
after the date hereof, or to the estate of any such partner or retired partner or the transfer by
gift, will or intestate succession of any partner to his or her spouse or to the siblings, lineal
descendants or ancestors of such partner or his or her spouse, if the prospective transferee agrees
in all such instances in writing to be subject to the terms hereof to the same extent as if he or
she were an original Investor hereunder.
