As of August 6, 1999
TO: Cisco Systems, Inc.
Re: Series E 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 1,867,480 shares of its previously authorized but unissued shares
of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Series E
Preferred Stock"), at a purchase price of $26.239 per share to Cisco Systems,
Inc. (the "Purchaser"). The designation, rights, preferences and other terms and
conditions relating to the Series E Preferred Stock are as set forth on Exhibit
1.01 hereto. The Series E 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 and 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 1,867,480 shares of Series E Preferred Stock for an aggregate
purchase price of $49,000,807.72. The purchase and sale shall take place at a
closing (the "Closing") to be held on or before August 6, 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 certificates
evidencing the shares of Series E Preferred Stock to be sold at the Closing to
the Purchaser (or its nominee) against payment of the full purchase price
therefor
6
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.
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
of such 25% of the 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 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 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 "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 Offer, 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 Offer; 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 Offer, then the 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 Market Price shall be the fair market value per share of the 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:
2
7
(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 Purchaser's Board of Directors, then the independent
appraiser's fees and expenses shall be paid by the Company.
(B) If the Market Price as determined by the
independent appraiser is greater than 110% of the 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 0000 Xxx) 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 0000 Xxx) 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).
(c) "Most Favored Nation". If (i) the Company sells securities
to a Strategic Investor (as defined in Section 4.6(l) 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
3
8
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, 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 indemnification provisions contained in the
Third Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement (as defined in Section
2.04(b)) may be limited by applicable federal or state securities laws; (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:

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

SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES
LAWS."

ARTICLE III
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 legally 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
7
12
any officer or Key Employee relating to such person's performance of duties for
the Company 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 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. Except as set forth in Exhibit
3.04, there is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation by the Company
currently pending or that the Company intends to initiate.
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,
the nature of the business conducted or to be conducted by the Company or
relating to the use of trade secrets or proprietary or confidential information
of others. The Company has no reason to believe that the employment of the
Company's officers and Key Employees will subject the Company or the Purchaser
to any liability to third-parties. The Company has entered into noncompetition
and nonsolicitation agreements and invention and nondisclosure agreements with
each of its employees.
(b) To the knowledge of the Company, no officer of the Company
nor any Key Employee of the Company whose termination, either individually or in
the aggregate, would have a Material Adverse Effect, has expressed any present
intention of terminating his employment with the Company.
3.06 Compliance with Other Instruments. The Company is in compliance in
all respects with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and of its
Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws, and in all material respects with the
terms and provisions of all mortgages, indentures, leases, agreements and other
instruments by which it is bound or to which it or any of its respective
properties or assets are subject. The Company is in compliance with all
judgments specifically naming the Company or any of the Founders, decrees,
governmental orders specifically naming the Company or any of the Founders,
statutes, rules or regulations by which it is bound or to which any of its
properties or assets are subject. Neither the execution and delivery of this
Agreement or the issuance of the Shares, nor the consummation of any transaction
contemplated by this Agreement, has constituted or resulted in or will
8
13
constitute or result in a default or violation of any term or provision of any
of the foregoing documents, instruments, judgments, agreements, decrees, orders,
statutes, rules and regulations.
3.07 Material Contracts.
(a) Except as set forth on Exhibit 3.07, there are no (i)
contracts not made in the ordinary course of business, or involving a commitment
or payment by the Company in excess of $100,000 or, in the Company's belief,
otherwise material to the business of the Company; (ii) contracts among
stockholders or granting a right of first refusal or for a partnership or a
joint venture or for the acquisition, sale or lease of any assets or capital
stock of the Company or any other Person or involving a sharing of profits;
(iii) mortgages, pledges, conditional sales contracts, security agreements,
factoring agreements or other similar contracts with respect to any real or
tangible personal property of the Company; (iv) loan agreements, credit
agreements, promissory notes, guarantees, subordination agreements, letters of
credit or any other similar type of contracts; (v) contracts with any
governmental agency; (vi) licenses of any patent, copyright, trade secret or
other proprietary right to or from the Company, other than licenses arising from
the purchase of "off the shelf" or other standard products; (vii) provisions
restricting or affecting the development, manufacture or distribution of the
Company's products or services; or (viii) binding commitments or agreements to
enter into any of the foregoing (collectively, the "Material Contracts"). The
Company has delivered or otherwise made available to the Purchaser true, correct
and complete copies of the Material Contracts, other than those specifically
agreed upon by the Company and the Purchaser to not be delivered, together with
all amendments, modifications, supplements or side letters affecting the
obligations of any party thereunder.
