-6-
(b) If the Initiating Holder intends to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by its request by means of an underwriting, it shall so advise the Company as a part of its request made pursuant to this Section 2.2 or any request pursuant to Section 2.4 and the Company shall include such information in the written notice referred to in Section 2.2(a) or Section 2.4(a), as applicable. In such event, the right of any Holder to include 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 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 underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders (which underwriter or underwriters shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.2 or Section 2.4, if the underwriter advises the Company that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of securities to be underwritten (including Registrable Securities) then the Company shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities which would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated first among the Series E Holders on a pro rata basis based on the number of Registrable Securities held by all such Series E Holders, second, to the extent available, to the Series D Holders on a pro rata basis based on the number of Registrable Securities held by all such Series D Holders, third, to the extent available, to the Series C Holders on a pro rata basis based on the number of Registrable Securities held by all such Series C Holders, fourth, to the extent available, among the Series B Holders on a pro rata basis based on the number of Registrable Securities held by all such Series B Holders and fifth, to the extent available, among the Series A Holders on a pro rata basis based on the number of Registrable Securities held by all such Series A Holders.

Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from any underwriting pursuant to this Section 2.2(b) shall be withdrawn from the registration.
(c) The Company shall not be required to effect a registration pursuant to this Section 2.2:
(i) prior to the earlier one hundred eighty (180) days following the effective date of the registration statement pertaining to the first Qualified Offering or the third anniversary of the Closing Date (as defined in the Series E Purchase Agreement);
(ii) after the Company has effected five (5) registrations initiated by the Holders pursuant to this Section 2.2 (including one (1) demand for the Series C Holders, two (2) demands for the Series D Holders and two (2) demands for the Series E Holders), and such registrations have been declared or ordered effective; provided, however, that a registration statement that does not become effective solely because the Holders participating in such registration refuse to proceed shall be deemed to have been effected by the Company at the request of such Holders unless the refusal to proceed is based upon the advice of counsel to such Holders relating to a matter with respect to the Company or such registration statement;
-7-
(iii) if within thirty (30) days after receipt of a written request from the Initiating Holder pursuant to Section 2.2(a), the Company gives notice to the Holders of the Company’s intention to make a public offering within ninety (90) days; provided that such offering is, and remains, likely to be completed within such 90-day period;
(iv) if the Company shall furnish to the Initiating Holder requesting a registration statement pursuant to this Section 2.2 a certificate signed by the chief executive officer of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company for such registration statement to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the request of the Initiating Holder; provided that such right to delay a request shall be exercised by the Company not more than once in any twelve (12) month period; or
(v) if the Initiating Holder proposes to dispose of shares of Registrable Securities that may be immediately registered on Form S-3 pursuant to a request made pursuant to Section 2.4 below.
2.3 Piggyback Registrations.
(a) Notice. The Company shall notify all Holders of Registrable Securities in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to the filing of any registration statement under the Securities Act for purposes of 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 employee benefit plans or with respect to corporate reorganizations or other transactions under Rule 145 of the Securities Act) and will afford each such Holder an opportunity to include in such registration statement all or part of such Registrable Securities held by such Holder. Each Holder desiring to include in any such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities held by it shall, within thirty (30) days after the above-described notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing. Such notice shall state the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities by such Holder. 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.
(b) Underwriting. If the registration statement under which the Company gives notice under this Section 2.3 is for an underwritten offering, the Company shall so advise the Holders of Registrable Securities. In such event, the right of any such Holder 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 underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, if the underwriter determines in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be
-8-
underwritten, the number of shares that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated, first among the Series E Holders on a pro rata basis based on the number of Registrable Securities held by all such Series E Holders, second, to the extent available, to the Series D Holders on a pro rata basis based on the number of Registrable Securities held by all such Series D Holders, third, to the extent available, to the Series C Holders on a pro rata basis based on the number of Registrable Securities held by all such Series C Holders, fourth, to the extent available, among the Series B Holders on a pro rata basis based on the number of Registrable Securities held by all such Series B Holder, fifth, to the extent available, among the Series A Holders on a pro rata basis based on the number of Registrable Securities held by all such Series A Holders and sixth, to any other shareholder of the Company (other than a Holder) on a pro rata basis. No such reduction shall (i) reduce the amount of securities being offered by the Company for its own account to be included in the registration and underwriting, or (ii) reduce the amount of securities of the selling Holders included in the registration below twenty-five percent (25%) of the total amount of securities included in such registration, unless such offering is the Initial Offering and such registration does not include shares of any other selling shareholders, in which event any or all of the Registrable Securities of the Holders may be excluded in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence. In no event will shares of any other selling shareholder be included in such registration which would reduce the number of shares which may be included by Holders without the written consent of Holders of not less than a majority of the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the offering. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter, delivered at least ten (10) business 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 shareholders 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.
(c) Right to Terminate Registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 2.3 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration. The Registration Expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 2.5 hereof
2.4 Form S-3 Registration. After the first public offering of its securities registered under the Securities Act, the Company shall use its best efforts to qualify and remain qualified to register Registrable Securities pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form) under the Securities Act. A Holder of Registrable Securities anticipated to have an aggregate sale price (net underwriting discounts and commissions, if any) in excess of $500,000 shall have the right to require the Company to file registration statements, including a shelf registration statement, and if the Company is a “well known seasoned issuer”, an automatic shelf registration statement, on Form S-3 or any successor form under the Securities Act covering all or any part of their and their affiliates’ Registrable Securities, by delivering a written request therefor to the Company. Such request shall state the number of shares of Registrable Securities
-9-
to be disposed of and the intended method of disposition of such shares by such Holder or Holders. The Company shall give notice to all other Holders of Registrable Securities of the receipt of a request for registration pursuant to this Section 2.4 and such Holders of Registrable Securities shall then have thirty (30) days to notify the Company in writing of their desire to participate in the registration. The Company shall use its best efforts to effect promptly the registration statement registering all shares on Form S-3 (or a comparable successor form) to the extent requested by such Holders. The Company shall use its best efforts to keep such registration statement effective until the earlier of 90 days or until such Holders have completed the distribution described in such registration statement.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 2.9 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 2.9, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof; provided, however, that the failure to give prompt notice shall not: (i) limit the indemnification obligations of the indemnifying party hereunder except to the extent that the delay in giving, or failure to give, prompt notice prejudices the ability of the indemnifying party to defend against such action, or (ii) relieve the indemnifying party of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 2.9. 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 (based upon the advice of counsel) representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding, it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (together with appropriate local counsel as required by the local rules of such jurisdiction) at any time for all such indemnified parties.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.9 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall to the extent permitted by applicable law contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the Violation(s) that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by a court of law by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a 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; provided that in no event shall the amount of any contribution by a Holder hereunder exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 2.9(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this paragraph.
(e) The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 2.9 shall survive completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement and the
-13-
termination of this Agreement. No indemnifying party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.
2.10 Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2 may be assigned by a Holder to a permitted transferee or permitted assignee of Registrable Securities which (a) is a subsidiary, parent, general partner, limited partner, retired partner, member or retired member of a Holder, (b) is a Holder’s family member or trust for the benefit of an individual Holder or such Holder’s family member, or (c) acquires at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the Registrable Securities held by the Holder (as adjusted for stock splits and combinations); provided, however, that (i) the transferor shall, within twenty (20) days after such transfer, furnish to the Company written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned, and (ii) such transferee shall agree in writing to become a party to, and receive the benefits of and be bound by the terms of, this Agreement.
2.11 Amendment of Registration Rights. Any provision of this Section 2 may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and the Super Majority Investors; provided, such amendment or waiver by the Super Majority Investors does not result in unequal treatment with respect to any such other Investors. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 2.11 shall be binding upon each Holder and the Company. By acceptance of any benefits under this Section 2, Holders of Registrable Securities hereby agree to be bound by the provisions hereunder.
2.12 Limitation on Subsequent Registration Rights. After the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not (i) without the prior written consent of the Super Majority Investors, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company that would grant such holder registration rights pari passu or senior to those granted to the Holders hereunder or any way limit the registration rights granted pursuant to this Agreement, and (ii) without the prior approval of the Board of Directors (including the unanimous affirmative vote of the Preferred Directors), enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company that would grant such holder any registration rights junior to those granted to the Holders hereunder.
2.13 “Market Stand-Off” Agreement; Agreement to Furnish Information. Each Holder hereby agrees that such Holder shall not sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company held by such Holder (other than those included in the registration) for a period specified by the representative of the underwriters of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act; provided that:
(a) such agreement shall apply only to the Company’s Initial Offering; and
(b) all officers and directors of the Company and holders of at least five percent (5%) of the Company’s voting securities enter into similar agreements.
-14-
Each Holder agrees to execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company or the underwriter which are consistent with the foregoing or which are necessary to give further effect thereto. In addition, if requested by the Company or the representative of the underwriters of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company, each Holder shall provide, within ten (10) days of such request, such information as may be required by the Company or such representative in connection with the completion of any public offering of the Company’s securities pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act. The obligations described in this Section 2.13 shall not apply to a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans on Form S-1 or Form S-8 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future, or a registration relating solely to a Rule 145 transaction on Form S-4 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the shares of Common Stock (or other securities) subject to the foregoing restriction until the end of said one hundred eighty (180) day period.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, none of the provisions of this Agreement shall in any way limit the Series E Investor or any of its affiliates from engaging in any brokerage, investment advisory, financial advisory, anti-raid advisory, principaling, merger advisory, financing, asset management, trading, market making, arbitrage, investment activity and other similar activities conducted in the ordinary course of their business. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the restrictions contained in this Agreement shall not apply to Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock acquired by the Series E Investor or any of its affiliates following the effective date of the first registration statement of the Company covering Common Stock (or other securities) to be sold on behalf of the Company in an underwritten public offering.
2.14 Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees that it will use its best efforts to:
(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 or any similar or analogous rule promulgated under the Securities Act, at all times after the effective date of the first registration filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to the general public;
(b) file with the SEC, in a timely manner, all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act; and
(c) so long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities, furnish to such Holder forthwith upon request: a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of said Rule 144 of the Securities Act, and of the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements); a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company; and such other reports and documents as a Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing it to sell any such securities without registration.
-15-
2.15 Deemed Underwriter Related. The Company agrees that, if the Series E Investor or any of its affiliates (each a “GS Entity”) could reasonably be deemed to be an “underwriter,” as defined in Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, in connection with any registration of the Company’s securities of any GS Entity pursuant to this Agreement, and any amendment or supplement thereof (any such registration statement or amendment or supplement a “GS Underwriter Registration Statement”), then the Company will cooperate with such GS Entity in allowing such GS Entity to conduct customary “underwriter’s due diligence” with respect to the Company and satisfy its obligations in respect thereof. In addition, at the Series E Investor’s request, the Company will furnish the Series E Investor, on the date of the effectiveness of any GS Underwriter Registration Statement and thereafter from time to time on such dates as the Series E Investor may reasonably request (i) a letter, dated such date, from the Company’s independent certified public accountants in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the applicable GS Entity, and (ii) an opinion, dated as of such date, of counsel representing the Company for purposes of such GS Underwriter Registration Statement, in form, scope and substance as is customarily given in an underwritten public offering, including, without limitation, a standard “10b-5” opinion for such offering, addressed to the applicable GS Entity. The Company will also use reasonable efforts to permit legal counsel to the Series E Investor to review and comment upon any such GS Underwriter Registration Statement at least five business days prior to its filing with the SEC and all amendments and supplements to any such GS Underwriter Registration Statement within a reasonable number of days prior to their filing with the SEC and not file any GS Underwriter Registration Statement or amendment or supplement thereto in a form to which the Series E Investor’s legal counsel reasonably objects.

WHEREAS, Amber Road, Inc., a Delaware corporation as successor to Amber Road, Inc., a New Jersey corporation f\k\a Management Dynamics Inc. (the “Corporation”), is contemplating an initial public offering (the “IPO”), including a secondary offering permitting the Investors (as such term is defined in the Fourth Amended & Restated Investor Rights Agreement (the “Rights Agreement”) dated as of July 16, 2010, by and among the Corporation and the Investors parties thereto) to participate in the IPO as selling stockholders. (Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Rights Agreement.)
WHEREAS, in connection with the IPO, the Investors’ shares of Preferred Stock shall automatically convert into shares of Common Stock.
WHEREAS, by this Agreement, the Investors wish to agree among themselves to allocate the relative number of shares of Common Stock that each of them may sell in the IPO.
Accordingly, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Corporation and each of the Investors named below hereby agrees that, notwithstanding any understandings, arrangements or agreements between or among them to the contrary, the allocation of Common Stock for sale in the IPO among the Investors and other selling stockholders set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto, including the allocation of certain shares to be sold in the initial closing of the IPO and other shares to be sold only in any subsequent IPO closing pursuant to an exercise of the IPO underwriters’ overallotment option, is the agreed allocation among them. For avoidance of doubt, the Corporation and the Investors agree that (i) the Investors have invested in the Corporation through one or more entities, and each Investor shall have the right to designate the allocation of the shares set forth opposite its name on Exhibit A among the entities that it controls, (ii) the quantity of shares listed on Exhibit A next to the name of each Selling Stockholder is the maximum that each respective Investor and other selling stockholder listed on Exhibit A may sell, which amount is subject to adjustment in accordance with the Irrevocable Power of Attorney and Custody Agreement entered into or to be entered into among each Investor and other selling stockholder, the Corporation, the Custodian party thereto and the Attorneys-in-Fact parties thereto and (iii) in the case of any stock split, the quantity of shares listed on Exhibit A shall be subject to proportional adjustment.
Except to the extent inconsistent with or otherwise as expressly set forth in this Agreement, all the terms and conditions of the Rights Agreement are hereby ratified and confirmed. Section 4.1 (Governing Law), Section 4.12 (Consent to Jurisdiction) and Section 4.13 (Waiver of Jury Trial) of the Rights Agreement are hereby herein incorporated by reference, mutatis mutandis, as if fully set forth herein. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
