Schedule A
(k) The term “Registrable Securities” means (i) the Common Stock issuable or issued upon conversion of the Series A Preferred, the Series B Preferred or the Series C Preferred, (ii) the Common Stock issuable or issued upon conversion of the Founders’ Stock, (iii) the Common Stock issued in the Concurrent Private Placement (as such term is defined in that certain Agreement, Waiver and Amendment entered into as of April 16, 2011 by and among the Company, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxx, Benchmark Capital Partners V, L.P., PAR Investment Partners, L.P., TCV V., L.P. and TCV Member Fund, L.P., and (iv) any Common Stock of the Company issued as (or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of any warrant, right or other security that is issued as) a dividend or other distribution with respect to, or in exchange for, or in replacement of, the shares referenced in (i), (ii) or (iii) above, provided, however, that the foregoing definition shall exclude in all cases any Registrable Securities sold by a person in a transaction in which his, her or its rights under this Agreement are not assigned. In addition, Common Stock or other securities shall only be treated as Registrable Securities if and so long as they have not been (A) sold to or through a broker or dealer or underwriter in a public distribution or a public securities transaction, including sales made pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Act, or (B) sold in a transaction exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Act under Section 4(1) thereof so that all transfer restrictions, and restrictive legends with respect thereto, if any, are removed upon the consummation of such sale. The number of shares of Registrable Securities deemed to be outstanding at any given time shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding that are Registrable Securities plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Founders’ Stock, Series A Preferred, Series B Preferred and Series C Preferred that are Registrable Securities hereunder. For purposes of determining under this Agreement whether Common Stock is issuable upon conversion of Class C Common Stock, it shall be assumed that all conditions precedent or concurrent required to be satisfied for the conversion of Class C Common Stock have been satisfied.
