The Company shall effect the purchase of the Key Holder Stock, including payment of the purchase price, not more than ten (10) days after delivery of the Company Notice, and at such time the Key Holder shall deliver to the Company the certificate(s) representing the Key Holder Stock to be purchased by the Company, each certificate to be properly endorsed for transfer.

6
Stock, by contract or otherwise, the Company shall, unless otherwise prohibited by applicable law, assign such right of first refusal or right of first offer to each Major Investor (as defined in the Investor Rights Agreement).
2.4 Investor Right of First Refusal.
(a) In the event that Foundation, USV, KPCB or the Company do not elect to purchase all of the Key Holder Stock available pursuant to Section 2.2 or Section 2.3, respectively, the Key Holder shall promptly give written notice (the “Third Notice”) to each of the Investors, which shall set forth the number of shares of Key Holder Stock that were not purchased by Foundation, USV, KPCB and the Company or its assignees. Each Investor shall then have the right, exercisable upon written notice to the Key Holder (the “Investor Notice”) within ten (10) days after the receipt of the Third Notice, to purchase its pro rata share of the Key Holder Stock subject to the Third Notice and on the same terms and conditions as set forth therein; provided, however, that solely to the extent the Foundation Rights, the USV Rights and KPCB Rights set forth in Section 2.2 apply to any proposed transfer of Key Holder Stock, none of Foundation, USV or KPCB shall have the right to purchase any Key Holder Stock pursuant to this Section 2.4 (it being understood that, if Foundation, USV or KPCB waives its rights under Section 2.2 or to the extent the Foundation Rights, the USV Rights and KPCB Rights, respectively, do not apply to any proposed transfer of Key Holder Stock, Foundation, USV and/or KPCB, as applicable, shall be treated as an Investor pursuant to this Section 2.4(a)). Except as set forth in Section 2.4(c), the Investors who so exercise their rights (the “Participating Investors”) shall effect the purchase of the Key Holder Stock, including payment of the purchase price, not more than ten (10) days after delivery of the Investor Notice, and at such time the Key Holder shall deliver to the Participating Investors the certificate(s) representing the Key Holder Stock to be purchased by the Participating Investors, each certificate to be properly endorsed for transfer.
(b) Each Investor’s pro rata share shall be equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the aggregate number of shares of Key Holder Stock covered by the Third Notice and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of Preferred Stock or other rights to acquire shares of Common Stock held by the Investor at the time of the Notice, and the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of Preferred Stock or other rights to acquire shares of Common Stock at the time of the Notice held by all Investors; provided, however, that solely to the extent the Foundation Rights, USV Rights and the KPCB Rights set forth in Section 2.2 apply to any proposed transfer of Key Holder Stock, any shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of Preferred Stock or other rights to acquire shares of Common Stock at the time of the Third Notice held by Foundation, USV and/or KPCB, as applicable, shall not be included in the denominator of such fraction (it being understood that, if Foundation, USV or KPCB waives its rights under Section 2.2 or to the extent the Foundation Rights, the USV Rights and the KPCB Rights, respectively, do not apply to any proposed transfer of Key Holder Stock, any shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of Preferred Stock or other rights to acquire shares of Common Stock at the time of the Third Notice held by Foundation, USV and/or KPCB, as applicable, shall be included in the denominator of such fraction).
7
(c) In the event that not all of the Investors elect to purchase their pro rata share of the Key Holder Stock pursuant to Section 2.4(a), then the Key Holder shall promptly give written notice to each of the Participating Investors (the “Overallotment Notice”), which shall set forth the number of shares of Key Holder Stock not purchased by the other Investors pursuant to Section 2.4(a), and shall offer such Participating Investors the right to acquire such unsubscribed shares. Each Participating Investor shall have five (5) days after receipt of the Overallotment Notice to deliver a written notice to the Key Holder (the “Participating Investors Overallotment Notice”) indicating the number of unsubscribed shares that such Participating Investor desires to purchase, and each such Participating Investor shall be entitled to purchase such number of unsubscribed shares on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Third Notice. In the event that the Participating Investors desire, in the aggregate, to purchase in excess of the total number of available unsubscribed shares, then the number of unsubscribed shares that each Participating Investor may purchase shall be reduced on a pro rata basis. For purposes of this Section 2.4(c) the denominator described in clause (ii) of subsection 2.4(b) above shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of Preferred Stock or other rights to acquire shares of Common Stock held by the Participating Investors at the time of the Investor Notice. The Participating Investors shall then effect the purchase of the Key Holder Stock, including payment of the purchase price, not more than ten (10) days after delivery of the Participating Investors Overallotment Notice, and at such time, the Key Holder shall deliver to the Investors the certificates representing the Key Holder Stock to be purchased by the Participating Investors, each certificate to be properly endorsed for transfer.
2.5 Right of Co-Sale.
(a) In the event Foundation, USV, KPCB, the Company or its assignees and the Investors fail to timely exercise their respective rights to purchase all of the Key Holder Stock pursuant to Sections 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 hereof, the Key Holder shall deliver to the Company and each Investor not exercising its rights of first refusal pursuant to Sections 2.2 or 2.4 above written notice (the “Co-Sale Notice”) that each such Investor shall have the right, exercisable upon written notice to such Key Holder with a copy to the Company within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Co-Sale Notice, to participate in such Transfer on the same terms and conditions. Such notice shall indicate the maximum number of shares of Investor Stock determined under Section 2.5(b) that such Investor may elect to sell under his or her right to participate. To the extent one or more of the Investors exercise such right of participation in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth below, the number of shares of Key Holder Stock that such Key Holder may sell in the transaction shall be correspondingly reduced.
(b) Each Investor may sell all or any part of that number of shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the aggregate number of shares of Key Holder Stock covered by the Co-Sale Notice and not purchased by Foundation, USV, KPCB, the Company or its assignees or the Investors pursuant to Section 2.2, 2.3 or 2.4 by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of Preferred Stock or other rights to acquire shares of Common Stock held by such Investor at the time of the Notice and the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock held by such Key Holder (excluding shares purchased by Foundation, USV, KPCB, the Company or its assignees and the Investors pursuant to Sections 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4) plus the number of shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of
8
Preferred Stock or other rights to acquire shares of Common Stock held by all Investors at the time of the Notice. If not all of the Investors elect to sell their shares of Common Stock proposed to be transferred within said fifteen (15) day period, then the Key Holder shall promptly notify in writing the Investors who do so elect and shall offer such Investors the additional right to participate in the sale of such additional shares of Key Holder Stock proposed to be transferred on the same percentage basis as set forth above in this Section 2.5(b); provided, however, that any issued or issuable shares held by Investors who are not Co-Sale Participants shall not be included in the denominator of such fraction. The Investors shall have five (5) days after receipt of such notice to notify the Key Holder in writing with a copy to the Company of its election to sell all or a portion thereof of the unsubscribed shares.
(c) Each Investor who elects to participate in the Transfer pursuant to this Section 2.5 (a “Co-Sale Participant”) shall effect its participation in the Transfer by promptly delivering to such Key Holder for transfer to the prospective purchaser one or more certificates, properly endorsed for transfer, which represent:
(i) the type and number of shares of Common Stock which such Co-Sale Participant elects to sell; or
(ii) that number of shares of Preferred Stock which is at such time convertible into the number of shares of Common Stock which such Co-Sale Participant elects to sell; provided, however, that if the prospective purchaser objects to the delivery of Preferred Stock in lieu of Common Stock, such Co-Sale Participant shall convert such Preferred Stock into Common Stock and deliver Common Stock as provided in Section 2.5(c)(i) above. The Company agrees to make any such conversion concurrent with and contingent upon the actual transfer of such shares to the purchaser.
(d) The stock certificate or certificates that the Co-Sale Participant delivers to such Key Holder pursuant to Section 2.5(c) shall be transferred to the prospective purchaser in consummation of the sale of the Common Stock pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Co-Sale Notice, and the Key Holder shall concurrently therewith remit to such Co-Sale Participant that portion of the sale proceeds to which such Co-Sale Participant is entitled by reason of its participation in such sale. To the extent that any prospective purchaser or purchasers prohibits such assignment or otherwise refuses to purchase shares or other securities from a Co-Sale Participant exercising its rights of co-sale hereunder, such Key Holder shall not sell to such prospective purchaser or purchasers any Key Holder Stock unless and until, simultaneously with such sale, such Key Holder shall purchase such shares or other securities from such Co-Sale Participant on the same terms and conditions specified in the Co-Sale Notice.
(e) The exercise or non-exercise of the rights of any Investor hereunder to participate in one or more Transfers of Key Holder Stock made by any Key Holder shall not adversely affect his right to participate in subsequent Transfers of Key Holder Stock subject to Section 2.
(f) To the extent that the Investors do not elect to participate in the sale of the Key Holder Stock subject to the Co-Sale Notice, such Key Holder may, not later than sixty (60) days following delivery to the Company of the Co-Sale Notice, enter into an agreement
9
providing for the closing of the Transfer of such Key Holder Stock covered by the Co-Sale Notice within thirty (30) days of such agreement on terms and conditions not materially more favorable to the transferor than those described in the Co-Sale Notice. Any proposed Transfer on terms and conditions materially more favorable than those described in the Co-Sale Notice, as well as any subsequent proposed Transfer of any of the Key Holder Stock by a Key Holder, shall again be subject to the first refusal and co-sale rights of the Company and/or Investors and shall require compliance by a Key Holder with the procedures described in this Section 2.
(g) Each Key Holder and holder of Common Stock listed on Schedule I attached hereto (each, a “Seed Investor”) hereby agrees that, in the event that any Seed Investor who has previously been granted co-sale rights, wishes to exercise such rights, any such additional shares of Common Stock held by such Seed Investor will solely reduce the aggregate number of shares of Key Holder Stock that a Key Holder may sell after the participation of the Investors as set forth in this Section 2. For the avoidance of doubt, the number of shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of the Preferred Stock held by Co-Sale Participants shall not be reduced as a result of the inclusion of such Seed Investors in the Transfer.
3. | EXEMPT TRANSFERS. |
3.1 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the first refusal and co-sale rights set forth in Section 2 above shall not apply to (i) any transfer or transfers by a Key Holder which in the aggregate, over the term of this Agreement, including any amendments hereto, amount to no more than five percent (5%) of the shares of Key Holder Stock held by a Key Holder as of the date hereof (as adjusted for stock splits, dividends and the like), (ii) any transfer without consideration to the Key Holder’s ancestors, descendants, spouse, Affiliates or to trusts for the benefit of such persons or the Key Holder, (iii) any transfer or transfers by a Key Holder to another Key Holder (the “Transferee-Key Holder”) so long as the Transferee-Key Holder is, at the time of the transfer, employed by or acting as a consultant or director of the Company, and (iv) all future transfers of shares that were transferred pursuant to a tender offer in which KPCB Holdings, Inc. acquired certain shares of Key Holder Stock; provided that in the event of any transfer made pursuant to one of the exemptions provided by clauses (i), (ii), (iii), or (iv), (A) the Key Holder, other than in connection with any transfers of Key Holder Stock made in connection with the Tender Offer, shall inform the Investors of such transfer prior to effecting it and (B) the transferee shall enter into a written agreement to be bound by and comply with all provisions of this Agreement, as if it were an original Key Holder hereunder, including without limitation Section 2. Such transferred Key Holder Stock shall remain “Key Holder Stock” hereunder, and such pledgee, transferee or donee shall be treated as the “Key Holder” for purposes of this Agreement, except that such transferee may not transfer shares pursuant to Section 3.1(i) hereof.
3.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of Section 2 shall not apply to the sale of any Key Holder Stock to the public pursuant to a registration statement filed with, and declared effective by, the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

3.3 Subject to the Foundation Rights, the USV Rights and the KPCB Rights and the obligations described in Section 3.4 below, this Agreement is subject to, and shall in no manner limit the right which the Company may have to repurchase securities from the Key Holder pursuant to (i) a stock restriction agreement or other agreement between the Company and the Key Holder and (ii) any right of first refusal set forth in the Bylaws of the Company.
3.4 In the event the Company may exercise any right of first refusal or repurchase right (other than rights to repurchase Common Stock from employees, officers, directors, consultants or other persons performing services for the Company at cost upon the occurrence of certain events, such as the termination of employment or service) with respect to any of the Company’s outstanding capital stock by contract or otherwise (in each case, a “Company Repurchase Option”), the Company shall, to the extent it may do so pursuant to such instrument, assign such Company Repurchase Option to Foundation, USV and/or KPCB to the extent necessary to permit Foundation, USV and/or KPCB and their respective Affiliates to attain the Foundation 15% Termination Threshold, USV 12% Termination Threshold or the KPCB 9% Termination Threshold, as applicable, subject to the following provisions:
(a) Upon the occurrence of each event giving rise to a Company Repurchase Option, the Company shall give Foundation, USV and KPCB written notice (the “Company Repurchase Option Notice”) of the occurrence of such event, describing the number of shares of capital stock subject to such Company Repurchase Option, the price and the general terms upon which the Company may elect to repurchase such shares of capital stock. Foundation, USV and KPCB shall each have fifteen (15) days after any such Company Repurchase Option Notice is mailed or delivered to it to elect to purchase that portion of the shares of capital stock described in the Company Repurchase Option Notice as it would be entitled to purchase were the repurchase of such shares subject to Section 2.2 hereof, for the price and upon the terms specified in the Company Repurchase Option Notice, by giving written notice to the Company.
(b) If Foundation, USV or KPCB gives the Company written notice that it desires to purchase a portion of such shares within such fifteen (15) day period, then the Company shall take such actions as may be necessary to assign all or any portion (as necessary to accommodate Foundation’s, USV’s and/or KPCB’s election and facilitate the transaction, including any by provision of any necessary Company consents, stock transfers, waivers or other such accommodations) of the Company Repurchase Option to Foundation, USV and/or KPCB. Any shares purchased by Foundation, USV and/or KPCB pursuant to the assignment of the Company’s Repurchase Option will not be cancelled on the books and records of the Company and will be promptly transferred and, if necessary, issued by the Company (or its transfer agent) upon the Company’s receipt of notice of the closing of the purchase and sale of the shares by Foundation, USV and/or KPCB.
(c) If either Foundation, USV or KPCB fails to purchase all or any portion of such shares within fifteen (15) days following the Company’s assignment of the Company Repurchase Option to it, then the assignment of the Company Repurchase Option shall automatically lapse and the Company may repurchase that portion of the shares of capital stock that Foundation, USV or KPCB failed to purchase by exercising the option set forth in this Section 3.4.
11
(d) The Company’s obligation under this Section 3.4 (i) as to Foundation, shall terminate immediately upon Foundation collectively first attaining the Foundation 15% Termination Threshold, (ii) as to USV, shall terminate immediately upon USV collectively first attaining the USV 12% Termination Threshold and (iii) as to KPCB, shall terminate immediately upon KPCB attaining the KPCB 9% Termination Threshold. The provisions of this Section 3.4 shall not be applicable to any public offering of the securities of the Company.

(b) In the event of a Prohibited Transfer, each Investor shall have the right to sell to such Key Holder the type and number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares each Investor would have been entitled to Transfer to the purchaser under Section 2.5 hereof had the Prohibited Transfer been effected pursuant to, and in compliance with, the terms hereof. Such sale shall be made on the following terms and conditions:
(i) The price per share at which the shares are to be sold to the Key Holder shall be equal to the price per share paid by the purchaser to such Key Holder in such Prohibited Transfer. The Key Holder shall also reimburse each Investor for any and all fees and expenses, including legal fees and expenses, incurred in connection with the exercise or the attempted exercise of the Investor’s rights under Section 2.5.

4.3 Voidability of Transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any purported Transfer by a Key Holder of Key Holder Stock in violation of Section 2 and/or Section 3 hereof shall be voidable at the option of the holders of fifty five percent (55%) of the Investor Stock if the holders of fifty five percent (55%) of the Investor Stock do not elect to exercise the call or put option set forth in this Section 4, and the Company agrees it will not effect such a transfer nor will it treat any alleged transferee as the holder of such shares without the written consent of the holders of a majority of the Investor Stock.
4.4 Limitation of Remedies. In the event that any Investor chooses to exercise either of the options set forth in Sections 4.1 or 4.2 with respect to a particular Prohibited Transaction or Prohibited Transfer, and such election and option are fully complied with, such Investor shall be prohibited from exercising the other option, if applicable, and shall have no other remedies as may be available at law, in equity or hereunder, with respect to such Prohibited Transaction or Prohibited Transfer.
