Overview

Five9 is a pioneer and leading provider of cloud software for contact centers. Since our inception, we have exclusively focused on delivering our platform in the cloud and are disrupting a significantly large market by replacing legacy on-premise contact center systems. Our mission is to empower organizations to transform their contact centers into customer engagement centers of excellence, while improving business agility and significantly lowering the cost and complexity of their contact center operations. Our purpose-built, highly scalable and secure Virtual Contact Center, or VCC, cloud platform delivers a comprehensive suite of easy-to-use applications that enable the breadth of contact center-related customer service, sales and marketing functions. We facilitate over three billion interactions between our more than 2,000 clients and their customers per year and believe our ability to combine software and telephony into a single unified platform that is delivered in the cloud creates a significant barrier to entry.

Our solution, which is comprised of our VCC cloud platform and applications, allows simultaneous management and optimization of customer interactions across voice, chat, email, web, social media and mobile channels, either directly or through our application programming interfaces. Our VCC cloud platform matches each customer interaction with an appropriate agent resource and delivers relevant customer data to the agent in real-time through integrations with adjacent enterprise applications, such as customer relationship management software, to optimize the customer experience and improve agent productivity. Delivered on-demand, our solution enables our clients to quickly deploy agent seats in any geographic location with only a computer, headset and broadband internet connection, and rapidly adjust the number of contact center agent seats in response to changing business requirements. Unlike legacy on-premise contact center systems, our solution requires minimal up-front investment, can be rapidly deployed and is maintained by us in the cloud.

Our sales model consists of a field sales team that sells our solution into larger opportunities and a telesales team that sells our solution into smaller opportunities. We have developed a proven, high velocity, metrics-driven sales and marketing strategy designed to effectively identify, qualify and close sales opportunities. We have also developed a large ecosystem of technology and system integrator partners to help increase awareness of our solution in the market and drive incremental sales opportunities with new and existing clients.

We provide our solution through a Software-as-a-Service, or SaaS, business model with recurring subscriptions based primarily on the number of agent seats and minutes of usage of our VCC cloud platform, as well as the specific functionalities and applications our clients deploy. Our recurring revenue model combined with strong revenue retention have enhanced our ability to forecast our financial performance and plan future investments.

We have achieved significant growth in recent periods. For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, our revenues were $43.2 million, $63.8 million and $84.1 million, respectively, representing year-over-year growth of 48% and 32%, respectively. We incurred net losses of $7.9 million, $19.3 million and $31.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively, as a result of increased investment in our growth.

Industry Overview

Contact centers must evolve in today’s rapidly changing technology environment

Contact centers are vital hubs of interaction between organizations and their customers and are mission critical to the successful execution of customer service, sales and marketing strategies. Today, customers increasingly expect seamless and personalized communications across multiple channels, including voice, chat, email, web, social media and mobile. In addition, organizations seek to enhance the efficiency of their contact centers by managing agent utilization and unifying geographically dispersed operations. In order to meet these changing demands, contact centers must upgrade their existing on-premise contact center systems or migrate their contact center operations to the cloud.

Legacy on-premise contact center systems are inefficient

The majority of contact center operations today rely on legacy on-premise contact center systems that include business workflows, as well as hardware and software architectures designed more than a decade ago. Key shortcomings of these legacy systems include:

 

    Long and complex implementation and upgrade cycles.    Implementation and upgrades of legacy on-premise contact center systems require long deployment timelines and complex integrations with other enterprise systems, which frequently result in significant expenditures of time, resources and capital;

 

    Inflexible resource deployment.    Most legacy on-premise contact center systems do not provide the flexibility to easily manage remote agents and quickly adjust agent seats to accommodate peak call volumes. As a result, organizations are typically unable to quickly scale their contact center operations in response to changing business needs; and

 

    Duplicative technology stacks across multiple sites.    Organizations must integrate multiple contact center sites to drive efficiency and create a unified customer view. However, the use of legacy on-premise contact center systems often results in dissimilar solutions at each site and integration of these contact center sites requires significant ongoing investment.

Our Opportunity

Based on our current product offerings and historical average annual recurring revenue per seat, we believe that the market for our solution is approximately $22 billion annually worldwide. Gartner estimates that there were 14.5 million contact center agents worldwide in 2012 and forecasts that the cloud penetration of the contact center market in North America will more than double from 5% of total contact center agents in 2012 to 13% in 2016. We believe the adoption of cloud contact center software solutions is increasing rapidly as a result of several distinct trends. The increasing adoption of cloud computing, especially within customer relationship management, or CRM, is creating strong demand for integrated cloud contact center software solutions. Cloud contact center software solutions now offer the functionality required by large, complex enterprise contact centers. Furthermore, we believe organizations typically refresh their on-premise contact center systems every 8-10 years, which provides an ongoing opportunity for cloud solutions to replace legacy on-premise contact center systems when these refresh decisions arise.

Our Solution

We deliver a comprehensive cloud software solution for contact centers. Our solution enables organizations of all sizes to optimize their contact center operations by enhancing agent productivity, improving customer satisfaction and driving cost efficiency. Our solution facilitates inbound customer-initiated interactions and outbound agent-initiated interactions and includes features such as automatic call distribution, interactive voice response, computer-telephony integration, outbound dialers and multi-channel capabilities.

Our Competitive Strengths

    Rapid deployment of our comprehensive solution.    Our solution enables our clients to quickly deploy and provision agent seats in any geographic location with only a computer, headset and broadband internet connection, and rapidly adjust the number of contact center agent seats in response to changing business requirements.

 

    Proven, repeatable and scalable go-to-market model.    We engage with our clients through a highly scalable and metrics-driven sales and marketing organization that effectively identifies, qualifies and closes sales opportunities. The deep domain expertise of our field sales team is instrumental in selling to larger opportunities and our highly efficient telesales model enables us to cost-effectively identify, qualify and close a high volume of smaller opportunities.

 

    Established market presence and a large, diverse client base.    We have a large, diverse client base of over 2,000 organizations across multiple industries. The performance, reliability, ease of use and comprehensive nature of our solution has resulted in high client satisfaction and retention.

    Further develop our partner ecosystem.    We have established strong partner relationships with organizations in the contact center ecosystem to further enhance the value of our enterprise-class cloud platform and intend to continue to cultivate new relationships to enhance the value of our solution and drive sales.

 

    Selectively pursue acquisitions.    In addition to organically developing and strengthening our solution, we intend to actively and selectively explore acquisition opportunities of companies and technologies to expand the functionality of our solution, provide access to new clients or markets, or both.

Risk Factors

Before you invest in our stock, you should carefully consider all of the information in this prospectus, including matters set forth under the heading “Risk Factors.” Risks relating to our business include, among others, that:

 

    our quarterly and annual results may fluctuate significantly, may not fully reflect the underlying performance of our business and may result in decreases in the price of our common stock;

 

    if we are unable to attract new clients or sell additional services and functionality to our existing clients, our revenue and revenue growth will be harmed;

 

    our recent rapid growth may not be indicative of our future growth, and if we continue to grow rapidly, we may fail to manage our growth effectively;

 

    the markets in which we participate are highly competitive, and if we do not compete effectively, our operating results could be harmed;

 

    if we fail to manage our technical operations infrastructure, our existing clients may experience service outages, our new clients may experience delays in the deployment of our solution and we could be subject to, among other things, claims for credits or damages;

 

 

4


Table of Contents
    if our dollar-based retention rate declines, our revenues, gross margins and net income could decrease and we may be required to spend more money to grow our client base and maintain our revenues;

 

    we sell our solution to larger organizations that require longer sales and implementation cycles and often demand more configuration and integration services or customized features and functions that we may not offer, any of which could delay or prevent these sales and harm our growth rates, business and operating results;

 

    because most of our revenue is derived from existing clients, downturns or upturns in new sales will not be immediately reflected in our operating results and may be difficult to discern;

 

    we rely on third-party telecommunications and internet service providers to provide our clients and their customers with telecommunication services and connectivity to our cloud contact center software and any failure by these service providers to provide reliable services could subject us to, among other things, claims for credits or damages;

 

    we have a history of losses and we may be unable to achieve or sustain profitability; and

 

    our directors, executive officers and significant stockholders, who after this offering will hold approximately     % of the voting power of our outstanding capital stock, will continue to have substantial control over us after this offering and could delay or prevent a change in corporate control.

(2)  See Note 7 to the notes to our consolidated financial statements for an explanation of the method used to calculate the unaudited pro forma basic and diluted net loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2013. All shares to be issued in this offering were excluded from the unaudited pro forma basic and diluted net loss per share calculation.

 

(3)  We calculate Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, to analyze our financial results and believe that it is useful to investors, as a supplement to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or U.S. GAAP, measures, in evaluating our ongoing operational performance and enhancing an overall understanding of our past financial performance. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA helps illustrate underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the income or expenses that we exclude from Adjusted EBITDA. Furthermore, we use this measure to establish budgets and operational goals for managing our business and evaluating our performance. We also believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our recurring core business operating results over multiple periods with other companies in our industry.

Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from that of other companies in our industry. We compensate for the inherent limitations associated with using Adjusted EBITDA through disclosure of these limitations, presentation of our financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, net loss. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net loss before (1) provision for income taxes, (2) other expense, net, (3) depreciation and amortization and (4) stock-based compensation.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties described below, together with all of the other information in this prospectus, including the consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus, before deciding whether to invest in shares of our common stock. If any of the following risks or other risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and future prospects could be materially harmed. In that event, the market price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose part or all of your investment.

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

Our quarterly and annual results may fluctuate significantly, may not fully reflect the underlying performance of our business and may result in decreases in the price of our common stock.

Our quarterly and annual results of operations, including our revenues, profitability and cash flow may vary significantly in the future and period-to-period comparisons of our operating results may not be meaningful. Accordingly, the results of any one quarter or period should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance. Our quarterly and annual financial results may fluctuate as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are outside our control and, as a result, may not fully reflect the underlying performance of our business. Fluctuation in quarterly and annual results may negatively impact the value of our common stock. Factors that may cause fluctuations in our quarterly and annual results include, without limitation:

 

    market acceptance of our solution;

 

    our ability to attract new clients and grow our business with existing clients;

 

    client renewal rates;

 

    changes in strategic and client relationships;

 

    the timing and success of new product and feature introductions by us or our competitors or any other change in the competitive dynamics of our industry, including consolidation among competitors, clients or strategic partners;

 

    network outages or security breaches, which may result in lost clients, client credits and harm to our reputation;

 

    inaccessibility or failure of our cloud contact center software due to failures in the products or services provided by third parties;

 

    the timing of recognition of revenues;

 

    the amount and timing of costs and expenses related to the maintenance and expansion of our business, operations and infrastructure;

 

    increases or decreases in the elements of our solution or pricing changes upon any renewals of client agreements;

 

    changes in our pricing policies or those of our competitors;

 

    the level of professional services and support we provide to clients;

 

    the components of our revenue;

 

    the addition or loss of key clients, including through acquisitions or consolidations;

 

    general economic, industry and market conditions;

 

    the timing of costs and expenses related to the development or acquisition of technologies or businesses and potential future charges for impairment of goodwill from acquired companies;

 

    the regulatory environment;

 

    the hiring, training and retention of key employees;

    litigation or other claims against us;

 

    our ability to obtain additional financing; and

 

    advances and trends in new technologies and industry standards.

If we are unable to attract new clients or sell additional services and functionality to our existing clients, our revenue and revenue growth will be harmed.

To increase our revenue, we must add new clients, encourage existing clients to renew their subscriptions on terms favorable to us and to add additional agent seats and sell additional functionality to existing clients. As our industry matures, or as competitors introduce lower cost and/or differentiated products or services that are perceived to compete favorably with ours, our ability to add new clients and renew or upsell existing clients based on pricing, technology and functionality could be impaired. As a result, we may be unable to renew our agreements with existing clients or attract new clients or new business from existing clients, which could harm our revenue and growth.

A portion of our revenue is generated by acquiring domestic and international telecommunications minutes from wholesale telecommunication service providers and reselling those minutes to our clients. We must resell more minutes if telecommunications rates decrease to maintain our level of usage revenue.

Our recent rapid growth may not be indicative of our future growth, and if we continue to grow rapidly, we may fail to manage our growth effectively.

For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, our revenue was $43.2 million, $63.8 million and $84.1 million, respectively, representing year-over-year growth of 48% and 32%, respectively. We expect that, in the future, as our revenue increases, our revenue growth rate may decline. We believe growth of our revenue depends on a number of factors, including our ability to:

 

    capture market share from providers of legacy on-premise contact center systems as contact center systems are refreshed;

 

    attract new clients, increase our existing clients’ use of our solution and further develop our partner ecosystem;

 

    introduce our solution to new markets outside of the United States and increase global awareness of our brand;

 

    strengthen and improve our solution through significant investments in research and development; and

 

    selectively pursue acquisitions.

If we are not successful in achieving these objectives, our revenue may be harmed. In addition, we plan to continue our investment in future growth, including expending substantial financial and other resources on:

 

    sales and marketing, including a significant expansion of our sales organization;

 

    our technology infrastructure, including systems architecture, management tools, scalability, availability, performance and security, as well as disaster recovery measures;

 

    solution development, including investments in our solution development team and the development of new applications and features for existing solutions;

 

    international expansion; and

 

    general administration, including legal and accounting expenses related to being a public company.

Moreover, we have recently experienced a period of rapid growth in our headcount and operations. In particular, we grew from 332 employees as of December 31, 2011, to 442 employees as of December 31, 2012, to 533 employees as of December 31, 2013. We have also significantly increased the size of our client base to over

 

12


Table of Contents

2,000 clients. We anticipate that we will significantly expand our operations and headcount in the near term. This growth has placed, and future growth will place, a significant strain on our management, administrative, operational and financial infrastructure. Our success will depend in part on our ability to manage this growth effectively. To manage the expected growth of our operations and personnel, we will need to continue to improve our operational, financial and management controls and our reporting systems and procedures. Failure to effectively manage growth could result in difficulty or delays in adding new clients, declines in quality or client satisfaction, increases in costs, system failures, difficulties in introducing new features or solutions or other operational difficulties, and any of these difficulties could harm our business performance and results of operations.

The expected addition of new employees and the capital investments that we anticipate will be necessary to manage our anticipated growth will make it more difficult for us to generate earnings or offset any future revenue shortfalls by reducing costs and expenses in the short term. If we fail to manage our anticipated growth, we will be unable to execute our business plan successfully.

The markets in which we participate are highly competitive, and if we do not compete effectively, our operating results could be harmed.

The market for contact center solutions is highly competitive. Our clients are not subject to long-term contractual commitments to purchase our solution and can terminate our service and switch to competitors’ offerings on short notice.

We currently compete with large legacy technology vendors that offer on-premise enterprise telephony and contact center systems, such as Avaya Inc., or Avaya, and Cisco Systems, Inc., or Cisco, and legacy on-premise software companies that come from a computer telephony integration, or CTI, heritage, such as Aspect Software, Inc., or Aspect, Genesys Telecommunications Laboratories, Inc., or Genesys, and Interactive Intelligence Group, Inc., or Interactive Intelligence. These companies are supplementing their traditional on-premise contact center systems with cloud offerings, either through acquisition or in-house development. Additionally, we compete with vendors that historically provided other contact center services and technologies and expanded to offer cloud contact center software. These companies include inContact, Inc., or inContact, and LiveOps, Inc., or LiveOps. We also face competition from smaller contact center service providers with specialized contact center software offerings. Our actual and potential competitors may enjoy competitive advantages over us, including greater name recognition, longer operating histories and larger marketing budgets, as well as greater financial or technical resources. With the introduction of new technologies and market entrants, we expect competition to intensify in the future.

Some of our competitors can devote significantly greater resources than we can to the development, promotion and sale of their products and services and many have the ability to initiate or withstand substantial price competition. Current or potential competitors may also be acquired by third parties with significantly greater resources. In addition, many of our competitors have stronger name recognition, longer operating histories, established relationships with clients, more comprehensive product offerings, larger installed bases and major distribution agreements with consultants, system integrators and resellers. Our competitors may also establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties that may further enhance their product offerings or resources. If our competitors’ products, services or technologies become more accepted than our solution, if they are successful in bringing their products or services to market earlier than ours, or if their products or services are less expensive or more technologically capable than ours, then our revenues could be harmed. Pricing pressures and increased competition could result in reduced sales, reduced margins and loss of, or a failure to maintain or improve, our competitive market position, any of which could harm our business.

If we fail to manage our technical operations infrastructure, our existing clients may experience service outages, our new clients may experience delays in the deployment of our solution and we could be subject to, among other things, claims for credits or damages.

Our success depends in large part upon the capacity, stability and performance of our operations infrastructure. From time to time, we have experienced interruptions in service, and may experience such interruptions in the future. These problems may be caused by a variety of factors, including infrastructure changes, human or software errors, viruses, security attacks, fraud, spikes in client usage and denial of service

Table of Contents

issues. In some instances, we may not be able to identify the cause or causes of these performance problems within an acceptable period of time. Our failure to achieve or maintain expected performance levels, stability and security could harm our relationships with our clients, result in claims for credits or damages, damage our reputation and significantly reduce client demand for our solution and harm our business.

Any future service interruptions could:

 

    cause our clients to seek credits or damages for losses incurred;

 

    require us to replace existing equipment;

 

    affect our reputation as a reliable service provider;

 

    cause existing clients to cancel or elect not to renew their contracts; or

 

    make it more difficult for us to attract new clients or expand our business with existing clients.

We have experienced significant growth in the number of agents and interactions that our infrastructure supports. As our client base grows and their use of our service increases, we will be required to make additional investments in our capacity to maintain adequate stability and performance, the availability of which may be limited or the cost of which may be prohibitive. In addition, we need to properly manage our operations infrastructure in order to support version control, changes in hardware and software parameters and the evolution of our solution. If we do not accurately predict or improve our infrastructure requirements to keep pace with growth in our business, our business could be harmed.

If our Dollar-Based Retention Rate declines, our revenues, gross margins and net income could decrease and we may be required to spend more money to grow our client base and maintain our revenues.

We calculate our Dollar-Based Retention Rate by dividing our Retained Net Invoicing by our Retention Base Net Invoicing on a monthly basis, which we then average using the rates for the trailing twelve months for the period being presented. We define Retention Base Net Invoicing as recurring net invoicing from all clients in the comparable prior year period, and we define Retained Net Invoicing as recurring net invoicing from that same group of clients in the current period. We define recurring net invoicing as subscription and related usage revenue excluding the impact of service credits, reserves and deferrals. Historically, recurring net invoicing has been within 10% of our subscription and related usage revenue. We analyze our Dollar-Based Retention Rate data to gain insight into our ability to retain and grow revenue from our clients and measure the long-term value of our client relationships.

We offer both annual and monthly contracts to our clients, with 30 days’ notice required for changes in the number of agent seats. Our clients can use this notice period to rapidly adjust the number of agent seats used to meet their changing contact center volume needs, including to reduce the number of agent seats to zero. As a general matter, this means that a client can effectively terminate its agreement with us upon 30 days’ notice. As a result, our Dollar-Based Retention Rate could decrease in the future if clients are not satisfied with our service, competition increases from other contact center providers, we experience system outages, alternative technologies emerge, the U.S. or global economy declines or due to many other factors. If our Dollar-Based Retention Rate decreases, we will need to acquire new clients to maintain our existing level of revenues. There can be no assurance that the market for our solution will continue to grow or that we will not lose market share to current or future competitors, either of which would magnify the impact of any decrease in our Dollar-Based Retention Rate. We incur significant costs and expenses, including sales and marketing expenses, to acquire new clients, and those costs and expenses are an important factor in determining our net profitability. Therefore, if we are unsuccessful in maintaining our Dollar-Based Retention Rate or are required to spend significant amounts to acquire new clients, our revenues, gross margins and net income could decrease.

We sell our solution to larger organizations that require longer sales and implementation cycles and often demand more configuration and integration services or customized features and functions that we may not offer, any of which could delay or prevent these sales and harm our growth rates, business and operating results.

As we target our sales efforts at larger organizations, we face greater costs, longer sales and implementation cycles and less predictability in completing our sales. These larger organizations typically require more configuration and integration services, which increases our upfront investment in sales and deployment efforts, with no guarantee that these clients will subscribe to our solution or increase the scope of their subscription. Furthermore, with larger organizations, we must provide greater levels of education regarding the use and benefits of our solution to a broader group of people. As a result of these factors, we must devote a significant amount of sales support and professional services resources to individual clients, thereby increasing the cost and time required to complete sales. Our typical sales cycle for larger organizations is four to five months, but can be significantly longer, and we expect that our average sales cycle may increase as sales to larger organizations continue to grow as a percentage of our business. Longer sales cycles could cause our operating and financial results to be less predictable and to fluctuate from period to period. In addition, many of our clients that are larger organizations initially deploy our solution to support only a portion of their contact center agents. Our success depends on our ability to increase the number of agent seats and the number of applications utilized by larger organizations over time. There is no guarantee that these clients will increase their subscriptions for our solution. If we do not expand our initial relationships with larger organizations, the return on our investments in sales and deployment efforts for these clients will decrease and our business may suffer.

Furthermore, we may not be able to provide the configuration and integration services that larger organizations typically require. For example, our solution does not currently permit clients to add new data fields and functions or modify our code. If prospective clients require customized features or functions that we do not offer, and that would be difficult for them to deploy themselves, then we may lose sales opportunities with larger organizations and our business could suffer.

Because most of our revenue is derived from existing clients, downturns or upturns in new sales will not be immediately reflected in our operating results and may be difficult to discern.

We generally recognize subscription revenue from clients monthly as services are delivered. As a result, most of the subscription revenue we report in each quarter is derived from existing clients. Consequently, a decline in new subscriptions in any single quarter will likely have only a small impact on our revenue results for that quarter. However, the cumulative impact of such declines could harm our revenues in future quarters. Accordingly, the effect of significant downturns in sales and market acceptance of our solution, and potential changes in our pricing policies or renewal rates, will typically not be reflected in our results of operations until future periods. We also may be unable to adjust our cost structure to reflect the changes in revenue, resulting in lower margins and earnings. In addition, our subscription model makes it difficult for us to rapidly increase our revenue through additional sales in any period, as revenue from new clients will be recognized over time as services are delivered. For example, many of our clients initially deploy our solution to support only a portion of their contact center agents. Any increase to our revenue and the value of these existing client relationships will only be reflected in our results of operations as these clients increase the number of agent seats and the number of applications utilized with our solution over time as they experience the benefits of our cloud solution.

We rely on third-party telecommunications and internet service providers to provide our clients and their customers with telecommunication services and connectivity to our cloud contact center software and any failure by these service providers to provide reliable services could subject us to, among other things, claims for credits or damages.

We rely on third-party telecommunication service providers to provide our clients and their customers with telecommunication services. These telephony services include the public switched telephone network, or PSTN, telephone numbers, call termination and origination services, and local number portability for our clients. In addition, we depend on our internet bandwidth suppliers to provide uninterrupted and error-free service through their telecommunications networks. We exercise little control over these third-party providers, which increases our vulnerability to problems with the services they provide. If any of these service providers fail to provide

 

15


Table of Contents

reliable services, or terminate or increase the cost of the services that we and our clients depend on, we may be required to switch to another service provider. Delays caused by switching our technology to another service provider, if available, and qualifying this new service provider could materially harm our client relationships, business, financial condition and operating results.

Due to our reliance on these service providers, when problems occur, it may be difficult to identify the source of the problem. Service disruption or outages, whether caused by our service, the products or services of our third-party service providers, or our clients’ or their customers’ equipment and systems, may result in loss of market acceptance of our solution and any necessary repairs or other remedial actions may force us to incur significant costs and expenses. Any failure on the part of third-party service providers to achieve or maintain expected performance levels, stability and security could harm our relationships with our clients, result in claims for credits or damages, damage our reputation, significantly reduce client demand for our solution and seriously harm our financial condition and operating results.

We have a history of losses and we may be unable to achieve or sustain profitability.

We have incurred significant losses in each period since our inception in 2001. We incurred net losses of $7.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2011, $19.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2012 and $31.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2013, we had an accumulated deficit of $90.8 million. These losses and our accumulated deficit reflect the substantial investments we have made to develop our solution and acquire new clients. We expect our costs and expenses to increase in the future due to anticipated increases in cost of revenues, sales and marketing expenses, research and development expenses and general and administrative expenses and, therefore, we expect our losses to continue for the foreseeable future as we continue to make significant future expenditures to develop and expand our business. Furthermore, to the extent we are successful in increasing our client base, we may also incur increased losses because costs associated with acquiring clients are generally incurred up front, while revenues are recognized over the course of the client relationship. Historically, we also have experienced negative gross margins on our professional services, which are expected to continue in the future. In addition, as a public company, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. You should not consider our recent growth in revenues as necessarily indicative of our future performance. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that we will achieve profitability in the future nor that, if we do become profitable, we will sustain profitability.

If the market for cloud contact center software solutions develops more slowly than we expect or declines, our business could be harmed.

The cloud contact center software solutions market is not as mature as the market for legacy on-premise contact center systems, and it is uncertain whether cloud contact center solutions will achieve and sustain high levels of client demand and market acceptance. Our success will depend to a substantial extent on the widespread adoption of cloud contact center software solutions as a replacement for legacy on-premise systems. Many larger organizations have invested substantial technical, personnel and financial resources to integrate legacy on-premise contact center systems into their businesses and, therefore, may be reluctant or unwilling to migrate to cloud contact center solutions such as ours. It is difficult to predict client adoption rates and demand for our solution, the future growth rate and size of the cloud contact center software market, or the entry of competitive products and services. The expansion of the cloud contact center software solutions market depends on a number of factors, including the refresh rate for legacy on-premise systems, cost, performance and perceived value associated with cloud contact center software solutions, as well as the ability of providers of cloud contact center software solutions to address security, stability and privacy concerns. If other cloud contact center solution providers experience security incidents, loss of client data, disruptions in delivery or other problems, the market for cloud contact center software products, solutions and services as a whole, including our solution, may be harmed. If cloud contact center software solutions do not achieve widespread adoption, or there is a reduction in demand for such solutions caused by a lack of client acceptance, enhanced product offerings from on-premise providers, technological challenges, weakening economic conditions, security or privacy concerns, competing technologies and products, decreases in corporate spending or otherwise, it could result in decreased revenues and our business could be harmed.

Shifts over time or from quarter-to-quarter in the mix of sizes or types of organizations that purchase our solution or changes in the components of our solution purchased by our clients could harm our operating results.

Our strategy is to sell our solution to both smaller and larger organizations. Our gross margins can vary depending on numerous factors related to the implementation and use of our solution, including the features and number of agent seats purchased by our clients and the level of usage and professional services and support required by our clients. For example, our larger clients typically require more professional services and because our professional services offerings typically have negative margins, any increase in sales of professional services could harm our gross margins and operating results. Sales to larger organizations may also entail longer sales cycles and more significant selling efforts. Selling to smaller clients may involve lower Dollar-Based Retention Rates, smaller contract sizes and greater credit risk and uncertainty. If the mix of organizations that purchase our solution changes, or the mix of solution components purchased by our clients, changes, our revenues and gross margins could decrease and our operating results could be harmed.

We depend on data centers operated by third parties and any disruption in the operation of these facilities could harm our business.

We host our solution at data centers located in Santa Clara, California and Atlanta, Georgia. Any failure or downtime in one of our data center facilities could affect a significant percentage of our clients. While we control and have access to our servers and all of the components of our network that are located in our external data centers, we do not control the operation of these facilities. The owners of our data center facilities have no obligation to renew their agreements with us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. If we are unable to renew these agreements on commercially reasonable terms, or if one of our data center operators is acquired, closes, suffers financial difficulty or is unable to meet our growing capacity needs, we may be required to transfer our servers and other infrastructure to new data center facilities, and we may incur significant costs and service interruptions in connection with doing so.

Our data centers are subject to various points of failure. Problems with cooling equipment, generators, uninterruptible power supply, routers, switches, or other equipment, whether or not within our control, could result in service interruptions for our clients as well as equipment damage. Our data centers are subject to disasters such as earthquakes, floods, fires, hurricanes, acts of terrorism, sabotage, break-ins, acts of vandalism and other events, which could cause service interruptions or the operators of these data centers to close their facilities for an extended period of time or permanently. The destruction or impairment of any of our data center facilities could result in significant downtime for our solution and the loss of client data. Because our ability to attract and retain clients depends on our providing clients with highly reliable service, even minor interruptions in our service could harm our business, revenues and reputation. Additionally, in connection with the continuing expansion of our existing data center facilities, there is an increased risk that service interruptions may occur as a result of server addition, relocation or other issues.

In addition, our data centers are subject to increased costs of power. We may not be able to pass on any increase in costs of energy to our clients, which could reduce our operating margins.

Our limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate and predict our current business and future prospects.

We have been in existence since 2001, and much of our growth has occurred in recent periods. Our limited operating history and recent growth may make it difficult for you to evaluate our current business and our future prospects. We have encountered and will continue to encounter risks and difficulties frequently experienced by growing companies in rapidly changing industries, including increasing and unforeseen expenses as we continue to grow our business.

Our ability to forecast our future operating results is limited and subject to a number of uncertainties, including our ability to plan for and model future growth. We have encountered and will continue to encounter risks and uncertainties frequently experienced by growing companies in rapidly changing industries, such as the risks and uncertainties described herein. If our assumptions regarding these risks and uncertainties, which we use to plan our business, are incorrect or change due to adjustments in our markets, or if we do not address these

risks successfully, our operating and financial results could differ materially from our expectations and our business could suffer.

If our solution fails to perform properly or if it contains technical defects, our reputation could be harmed, our market share may decline and we could be subject to product liability claims.

Our solution may contain undetected errors or defects that may result in failures or otherwise cause our solution to fail to perform in accordance with client expectations. Because our clients use our solution for mission-critical aspects of their business, any errors or defects in, or other performance problems with, our solution may damage our clients’ businesses and could significantly harm our reputation. If that occurs, we could lose future sales, or our existing clients could elect to cancel or not renew our solution, seek payment credits or delay or withhold payment to us, which could result in reduced revenues, an increase in our provision for uncollectible accounts and service credits and an increase in collection cycles for accounts receivable. Clients also may make indemnification or warranty claims against us, which could result in significant expense and risk of litigation. Product performance problems could result in loss of market share, failure to achieve market acceptance and the diversion of development resources.

Any product liability, intellectual property, warranty or other claims against us could damage our reputation and relationships with our clients, and could require us to spend significant time and money in litigation or pay significant settlements or damages. Although we maintain general liability insurance, including coverage for errors and omissions, this coverage may not be sufficient to cover liabilities resulting from such claims. Also, our insurer may disclaim coverage. Our liability insurance also may not continue to be available to us on reasonable terms, in sufficient amounts, or at all. Any contract or product liability claims successfully brought against us would harm our business.

If our security measures are breached or unauthorized access to client data is otherwise obtained, our solution may be perceived as not being secure, clients may reduce the use of or stop using our solution and we may incur significant liabilities.

Our solution involves the storage and transmission of our clients’ information, including information about our clients’ customers or other information treated by our clients as confidential. Unauthorized access or other breaches in our security could result in the loss of confidentiality, integrity and availability of information, leading to litigation, indemnity obligations and other liability. While we have security measures in place to protect client information and minimize the probability of security breaches, if these measures fail as a result of third-party action, employee error, malfeasance or otherwise, and someone obtains unauthorized access to our clients’ data, our reputation could be damaged, our business may suffer and we could incur significant liability. Because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or sabotage systems change frequently and generally are not identified until they are launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures. In addition, any failure on the part of third parties, including our clients, to achieve or maintain security measures for their own systems could harm our relationships with our clients, result in claims against us for credits or damages, damage our reputation and significantly reduce client demand for our solution. Any or all of these issues could harm our ability to attract new clients, cause existing clients to elect not to renew their subscriptions, result in reputational damage or subject us to third-party lawsuits, regulatory fines or other action or liability, all of which could harm our operating results.

The contact center software solutions market is subject to rapid technological change, and we must develop and sell incremental and new products in order to maintain and grow our business.

The contact center software solutions market is characterized by rapid changes in client requirements, frequent introductions of new and enhanced products and continuing and rapid technological advancement. To compete successfully, we must continue to design, develop, manufacture and sell new and enhanced contact center products, applications and features that provide increasingly higher capabilities, performance and stability at lower cost. If we are unable to develop new features for our existing solution or new applications that achieve market acceptance or that keep pace with technological developments, our business would be harmed. For example, we are focused on enhancing the reliability, features and functionality of our contact center solution to enhance its utility to our clients, particularly larger clients with complex, dynamic and global operations. The

Table of Contents

success of these enhancements depends on many factors, including timely development, introduction and market acceptance, as well as our ability to transition our existing clients to these new products, applications and features. Failure in this regard may significantly impair our revenue growth. In addition, because our solution is designed to operate on a variety of systems, we will need to continuously modify and enhance our solution to keep pace with changes in hardware, operating systems, the increasing trend toward multi-channel communications and other changes to software technologies. We may not be successful developing these modifications and enhancements or bringing them to market in a timely fashion. Furthermore, uncertainties about the timing and nature of new network platforms or technologies, or modifications to existing platforms or technologies, could delay introduction of our solution and increase our research and development expenses. Any failure of our solution to operate effectively with future network platforms and technologies could reduce the demand for our solution, result in client dissatisfaction and harm our business.

Our ability to continue to enhance our solution is dependent on adequate research and development resources. If we are not able to adequately fund our research and development efforts, we may not be able to compete effectively and our business and operating results may be harmed.

In order to remain competitive, we must continue to develop new solution offerings and enhancements to our existing cloud contact center software. Maintaining adequate research and development personnel and resources to meet the demands of the market is essential. If we are unable to develop products, applications or features internally due to certain constraints, such as high employee turnover, inability to hire sufficient research and development personnel or a lack of other research and development resources, we may miss market opportunities. Furthermore, many of our competitors expend a considerably greater amount of funds on their research and development programs, and those that do not may be acquired by larger companies that would allocate greater resources to our competitors’ research and development programs. Our failure to devote adequate research and development resources or compete effectively with the research and development programs of our competitors could harm our business.

Our growth depends in part on the success of our strategic relationships with third parties and our failure to successfully grow and manage these relationships could harm our business.

We leverage strategic relationships with third parties, such as CRM, system integrator, technology and telephony providers. For example, our CRM and system integrator relationships provide significant lead generation for new client opportunities. As we grow our business, we will continue to depend on both existing and new strategic relationships. Our competitors may be more successful than we are in establishing relationships with third parties or may provide incentives to third parties to favor their products over our solution. Furthermore, if our partners are acquired, they may no longer support or promote our solution, or may be less effective in doing so, which could harm our business, financial condition and operations. If we are unsuccessful in establishing or maintaining our strategic relationships with third parties, our ability to compete in the marketplace or to grow our revenues could be impaired and our operating results may suffer. Even if we are successful, we cannot assure you that these relationships will result in increased client usage of our solution or increased revenue.

In addition, identifying new partners, and negotiating and documenting relationships with them, requires significant time and resources. As the complexity of our solution and our third-party relationships increases, the management of those relationships and the negotiation of contractual terms sufficient to protect our rights and limit our potential liabilities will become more complicated. We also license technology from certain third-party partners. Certain of these license agreements permit either party to terminate all or a portion of the license without cause at any time. Our inability to successfully manage these complex relationships or negotiate sufficient contractual terms could harm our business.

If we are unable to maintain the compatibility of our software with other products and technologies, our business would be harmed.

Our clients often integrate our solution with their business applications, particularly third-party CRM solutions. These third-party providers or their partners could alter their products so that our solution no longer integrates well with them, or they could delay or deny our access to technology releases that allow us to adapt our

 

19


Table of Contents

solution to integrate with their products in a timely fashion. If we cannot adapt our solution to changes in complementary technology deployed by our clients, it may significantly impair our ability to compete effectively.

We are subject to many hazards and operational risks that can disrupt our business, some of which may not be insured or fully covered by insurance.

Our operations are subject to many hazards inherent in the cloud contact center software business, including:

 

    damage to third-party and our infrastructure and data centers, related equipment and surrounding properties caused by earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, fires and other natural disasters, explosions and acts of terrorism;

 

    inadvertent damage from third parties; and

 

    other hazards that could also result in suspension of operations, personal injury and even loss of life.

These risks could result in substantial losses and the curtailment or suspension of our operations. For example, in the event of a major earthquake along the west coast (where our corporate headquarters and one of our data centers are located), hurricane or tropical storm in the southeastern United States (where our other data center is located) or catastrophic events such as fire, power loss, telecommunications failure, cyber-attack, war or terrorist attack, we may be unable to continue our operations and may endure system and service interruptions, reputational harm, delays in product development, breaches of data security and loss of critical data, all of which could harm our operating results.

We are not insured against all claims, events or accidents that might occur. If a significant accident or event occurs that is not fully insured, if we fail to recover all anticipated insurance proceeds for significant accidents or events for which we are insured, or if we or our data center providers fail to reopen facilities damaged by such accidents or events, our operations and financial condition could be harmed. In addition to being denied coverage under existing insurance policies, we may not be able to maintain or obtain insurance of the type and amount we desire at reasonable rates.

Our business could be harmed if our clients are not satisfied with the professional services and technical support provided by us or our partners.

Our business depends on our ability to satisfy our clients, not only with respect to our solution but also with the professional services and technical support that are performed to enable our clients to implement and use our solution to address their business needs. Professional services and technical support may be performed by our own staff or, with respect to a select subset of our solution, by third parties. We may be unable to respond quickly enough to accommodate short-term increases in client demand for support services. We also may be unable to modify the format of our support services to compete with changes in support services provided by our competitors. Increased client demand for these services, without corresponding revenues, could increase costs and harm our operating results. If a client is not satisfied with the deployment and ongoing services performed by us or a third party, then we could lose clients, miss opportunities to expand our business with these clients, incur additional costs, or lose, or suffer reduced margins on, our service revenue, any of which could damage our ability to grow our business. In addition, negative publicity related to our professional services and technical support, regardless of its accuracy, may further damage our business by affecting our ability to compete for new business with current and prospective clients.

The loss of one or more of our key clients, or a failure to renew our subscription agreements with one or more of our key clients, could harm our ability to market our solution.

We rely on our reputation and recommendations from key clients in order to market and sell our solution. The loss of any of our key clients, or a failure of some of them to renew or to continue to recommend our solution, could have a significant impact on our revenues, reputation and our ability to obtain new clients. In addition, acquisitions of our clients could lead to cancellation of our contracts with those clients or by the acquiring companies, thereby reducing the number of our existing and potential clients.

 

20


Table of Contents

Our clients may fail to pay us in accordance with the terms of their agreements, necessitating action by us to collect payment, or may terminate their subscriptions for our solution.

If clients fail to pay us under the terms of our agreements, fail to comply with the terms of our agreements, or terminate their subscriptions for our solution, we may lose revenue, be unable to collect amounts due to us, be subject to legal or regulatory action and incur costs in enforcing the terms of our contracts, including litigation. These risks increase the longer the term of our client arrangements. Some of our clients may seek bankruptcy protection or other similar relief and fail to pay amounts due to us, or pay those amounts more slowly, either of which could harm our operating results, financial position and cash flow.

Sales to clients outside the United States or with international operations and our international sales efforts and operations support expose us to risks inherent in international sales and operations.

A key element of our growth strategy is to expand our international sales efforts and develop a worldwide client base. Because of our limited experience with international sales efforts, our international expansion may not be successful and may not produce the return on investment we expect. To date, we have realized only a small portion of our revenues from clients outside the United States.

We currently have full-time employees in the Philippines, who provide technical support, training and other professional services, as well as in Russia, who provide software development services. Operating in international markets requires significant resources and management attention and subjects us to intellectual property, regulatory, economic and political risks that are different from those in the United States. As we increase our international sales efforts and continue our other international operations, we will face risks in doing business internationally that could harm our business, including:

 

    the need to establish and protect our brand in international markets;

 

    the need to localize and adapt our solution for specific countries, including translation into foreign languages and associated costs and expenses;

 

    difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations, particularly hiring and training qualified sales and service personnel;

 

    different pricing environments, longer sales and accounts receivable payment cycles and collections issues;

 

    new and different sources of competition;

 

    general economic conditions in international markets;

 

    fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies, which may make our solution more expensive in other countries or may impact our operating results when translated into U.S. dollars;

 

    compliance challenges related to the complexity of multiple, conflicting and changing governmental laws and regulations, including employment, tax, telecommunications and telemarketing laws and regulations;

 

    privacy and data protection laws and regulations that are complex, expensive to comply with and may require that client data be stored and processed in a designated territory;

 

    weaker protection for intellectual property and other legal rights than in the U.S. and practical difficulties in enforcing intellectual property and other rights outside of the U.S.;

 

    increased risk of international telecom fraud;

 

    laws and business practices favoring local competitors;

 

    compliance with U.S. laws and regulations for foreign operations, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.K. Bribery Act, import and export control laws, tariffs, trade barriers, economic sanctions and other regulatory or contractual limitations on our ability to sell our solution in certain foreign markets, and the risks and costs of non-compliance;

 

21


Table of Contents
    increased financial accounting and reporting burdens and complexities;

 

    restrictions on the transfer of funds;

 

    adverse tax consequences; and

 

    unstable economic and political conditions.

The occurrence of any of these risks could harm our international operations, increase our operating costs and hinder our ability to grow our international business and, consequently, our overall business and results of operations.

In addition, compliance with laws and regulations applicable to our international operations increases our cost of doing business outside the United States. We may be unable to keep current with changes in foreign government requirements and laws as they change from time to time. Failure to comply with these regulations could harm our business. In many countries outside the United States it is common for others to engage in business practices that are prohibited by our internal policies and procedures or U.S. regulations applicable to us. Although we have implemented policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance with these laws and policies, there can be no assurance that all of our employees, contractors, strategic partners and agents will comply with these laws and policies. Violations of laws or key control policies by our employees, contractors, strategic partners or agents could result in delays in revenue recognition, financial reporting misstatements, fines, penalties, or prohibitions on selling our solution and could harm our business.

We depend on our senior management team and the loss of one or more key employees or an inability to attract and retain highly skilled employees could harm our business.

Our success largely depends upon the continued services of our key executive officers. We also rely on our leadership team in the areas of research and development, marketing, sales, services and general and administrative functions, and on mission-critical individual contributors. From time to time, there may be changes in our executive management team resulting from the hiring or departure of executives, which could disrupt our business. The loss of one or more of our executive officers or key employees could seriously harm our business. We currently do not maintain key person life insurance policies on any of our employees.

To execute our growth plan, we must attract and retain highly qualified personnel. Competition for these personnel is intense, especially for engineers with high levels of experience in designing and developing cloud software and for senior sales executives. We have, from time to time, experienced, and we expect to continue to experience, difficulty in hiring and retaining employees with appropriate qualifications. Many of the companies with which we compete for experienced personnel have greater resources than we have. If we hire employees from competitors or other companies, their former employers may attempt to assert that these employees or we have breached legal obligations, resulting in a diversion of our time and resources and, potentially, damages. In addition, job candidates and existing employees, particularly in the San Francisco Bay Area, often consider the value of the stock awards they receive in connection with their employment. If the perceived value of our stock awards declines, either because we are a public company or otherwise, it may harm our ability to recruit and retain highly skilled employees. In addition, we invest significant time and expense in training our employees, which increases their value to competitors who may seek to recruit them. If we fail to attract new personnel or fail to retain and motivate our current personnel, our business and future growth prospects would be harmed.

Failure to adequately expand our sales force will impede our growth.

We will need to continue to expand and optimize our sales infrastructure in order to grow our client base and our business. We plan to aggressively expand our sales force, both domestically and internationally. Identifying and recruiting qualified personnel and training them in the use of our solution requires significant time, expense and attention. It can take several months before our sales representatives are fully trained and productive. Our business may be harmed if our efforts to expand and train our sales force do not generate a corresponding increase in revenues. In particular, if we are unable to hire, develop and retain talented sales personnel or if new sales personnel are unable to achieve desired productivity levels in a reasonable period of time, we may not be able to realize the expected benefits of this investment or increase our revenues.

If we fail to grow our marketing capabilities and develop widespread brand awareness cost effectively, our business may suffer.

Our ability to increase our client base and achieve broader market acceptance of our cloud contact center software solution will depend to a significant extent on our ability to expand our marketing operations. We plan to dedicate significant resources to our marketing programs, including internet advertising, digital marketing campaigns, social marketing, trade shows, industry events, co-marketing with strategic partners and telemarketing. The effectiveness of our online advertising has varied over time and may vary in the future due to competition for key search terms, changes in search engine use and changes in the search algorithms used by major search engines. All of these efforts will continue to require us to invest significant financial and other resources in our marketing efforts. Our business will be seriously harmed if our efforts and expenditures do not generate a proportionate increase in revenue.

In addition, we believe that developing and maintaining widespread awareness of our brand in a cost-effective manner, both in the United States and internationally, is critical to achieving widespread acceptance of our solution and attracting new clients. Brand promotion activities may not generate client awareness or increase revenues, and even if they do, any increase in revenues may not offset the costs and expenses we incur in building our brand. If we fail to successfully promote, maintain and protect our brand, or incur substantial costs and expenses, we may fail to attract or retain clients necessary to realize a sufficient return on our brand-building efforts, or to achieve the widespread brand awareness that is critical for broad client adoption of our solution.

We may not be able to secure additional financing on favorable terms, or at all, to meet our future capital needs.

To date, we have financed our operations, primarily through sales of our solution, net proceeds from the issuance of our convertible preferred stock, lease facilities and, more recently, debt financing. We do not know when or if our operations will generate sufficient cash to fund our ongoing operations. In the future, we may require additional capital to respond to business opportunities, challenges, acquisitions, a decline in sales, increased regulatory obligations or unforeseen circumstances and may engage in equity or debt financings or enter into credit facilities.

We have a substantial amount of debt. As of December 31, 2013, we had $17.5 million outstanding under the loan and security agreement governing our revolving line of credit and term loan and $3.7 million outstanding under a promissory note with the Universal Services Administration Company. In February 2014, we entered into a loan and security agreement for a term loan of up to $30.0 million. At closing, we borrowed $19.6 million of the term loan net of $0.4 million in debt costs, with the remaining $10.0 million available to be borrowed until February 2015. Our loan and security agreements are collateralized by substantially all of our assets and contain a number of covenants that limit our ability to, among other things, sell assets, make acquisitions or investments, incur debt, grant liens, pay dividends, enter into transactions with our affiliates and use all of our available cash on hand and may prevent us from engaging in acts that may be in our best long-term interests. The existing collateral pledged under the loan and security agreements and the covenants to which we are bound may prevent us from being able to timely secure additional debt or equity financing on favorable terms, or at all, or to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. Any debt financing obtained by us in the future would cause us to incur additional debt service expenses and could include restrictive covenants relating to our capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and pursue business opportunities. If we raise additional funds through further issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution in their percentage ownership of our company, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of holders of our common stock. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us when we require it, our ability to continue to grow and support our business and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited.

Adverse economic conditions may harm our business.

Our business depends on the overall demand for cloud contact center software solutions and on the economic health of our current and prospective clients. The recent financial recession resulted in a significant weakening of the economy in the United States and globally, more limited availability of credit, a reduction in business confidence and activity, and other difficulties that affected the industries to which we sell our solution. We plan to market and sell our solution in Europe, Asia and other international markets. If economic conditions

 

23


Table of Contents

in the United States, Europe and Asia and other key potential markets for our solution continue to remain uncertain or deteriorate further, many clients may delay or reduce their contact center and overall information technology spending. If our clients continue to experience economic hardship, this could reduce the overall demand for our solution, delay and lengthen sales cycles and lead to slower growth or even a decline in our revenues, net income and cash flows.

The forecasts of market growth included in this prospectus may prove to be inaccurate, and even if the markets in which we compete achieve the forecasted growth, our business may not grow at similar rates, if at all.

Growth forecasts are subject to significant uncertainty and are based on assumptions and estimates that may not prove to be accurate. The forecasts in this prospectus relating to the expected growth in contact centers and contact centers as a service may prove to be inaccurate.

Even if these markets experience the forecasted growth described in this prospectus, we may not grow our business at similar rates, or at all. Our growth is subject to many factors, including whether the market for cloud contact center software solutions continues to grow, the rate of market acceptance of our solution versus those of our competitors and our success in implementing our business strategies, each of which is subject to many risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, the forecasts of market growth included in this prospectus should not be taken as indicative of our future growth.

We may acquire other companies or technologies, which could divert our management’s attention, result in additional dilution to our stockholders and otherwise disrupt our operations and harm our operating results.

We may in the future seek to acquire or invest in businesses, applications or technologies that we believe could complement or expand our solution, enhance our technical capabilities or otherwise offer growth opportunities. The pursuit of potential acquisitions may divert the attention of management and cause us to incur various costs and expenses in identifying, investigating and pursuing suitable acquisitions, whether or not they are consummated. We may not be able to identify desirable acquisition targets or be successful in entering into an agreement with any particular target.

To date, the growth in our business has been primarily organic, and we have limited experience in acquiring other businesses, having only completed one small acquisition. In October 2013, we acquired Face It, Corp., which we refer to as SoCoCare, a social engagement and mobile customer care solution provider. In any acquisitions, including SoCoCare, we may not be able to successfully integrate acquired personnel, operations and technologies, or effectively manage the combined business following the acquisition. We also may not achieve the anticipated benefits from our acquisition of SoCoCare or future acquired businesses due to a number of factors, including:

 

    inability to integrate or benefit from acquisitions in a profitable manner;

 

    unanticipated costs or liabilities associated with the acquisition;

 

    incurrence of acquisition-related costs;

 

    difficulty converting the clients of the acquired business to our solution and contract terms, including disparities in the revenues, licensing, support or professional services model of the acquired company;

 

    difficulty integrating the accounting systems, operations and personnel of the acquired business;

 

    difficulties and additional costs and expenses associated with supporting legacy products and hosting infrastructure of the acquired business;

 

    diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns;

 

    harm to our existing relationships with our partners and clients as a result of the acquisition;

 

    the loss of our or the acquired business’s key employees;

 

    diversion of resources that could have been more effectively deployed in other parts of our business; and

 

    use of substantial portions of our available cash to consummate the acquisition.

In addition, a significant portion of the purchase price of companies we acquire may be allocated to acquired goodwill and other intangible assets, which must be assessed for impairment at least annually. In the future, if

 

24


Table of Contents

our acquisitions do not yield expected returns, we may be required to take charges to our operating results based on this impairment assessment process, which could harm our results of operations.

Acquisitions could also result in dilutive issuances of equity securities, the use of our available cash, or the incurrence of debt, which could harm our operating results. In addition, if an acquired business fails to meet our expectations, our operating results, business and financial condition may suffer.

If we are unable to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in the future, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports and the market price of our common stock may decrease.

As a public company, we will be required to maintain internal control over financial reporting and to report any material weaknesses in such internal controls. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, requires that we evaluate and determine the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and, beginning with our annual report for the year ending December 31, 2015, provide a management report on our internal control over financial reporting, which must be attested to by our independent registered public accounting firm to the extent we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” as defined by The Jumpstart Our Businesses Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. Two material weaknesses were identified in our internal control over financial reporting in 2010, one of which was remediated in 2011 and the other of which was remediated in 2012. A “material weakness” is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

If in the future we have material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, we may not detect errors on a timely basis and our financial statements may be materially misstated. We are in the process of designing and implementing our internal control over financial reporting, which process will be time consuming, costly and complicated. If we identify material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, if we are unable to comply with the requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner, if we are unable to assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to attest that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports and the market price of our common stock could decrease. We could also become subject to stockholder or other third-party litigation as well as investigations by the stock exchange on which our securities are listed, the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, or other regulatory authorities, which could require additional financial and management resources and could result in fines, trading suspensions or other remedies.

Changes in financial accounting standards or practices may cause adverse, unexpected financial reporting fluctuations and affect our reported operating results.

Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States are subject to interpretation by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, the SEC and various bodies formed to promulgate and interpret appropriate accounting principles. A change in accounting standards or practices can have a significant effect on our reported results and may even affect our financial statements completed before the change is effective. New accounting pronouncements and varying interpretations of accounting pronouncements have occurred and will occur in the future. Changes to existing rules or the questioning of current practices may harm our reported financial results or the way we account for or conduct our business.

For example, we recognize subscription revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Update 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) — Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements — a Consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force (“ASU 2009-13”) (formerly known as EITF 08-01). The FASB and the SEC may issue interpretations and guidance for applying the relevant accounting standards to a wide range of sales contract terms and business arrangements that are prevalent in revenue recognition arrangements. As a result of future interpretations or applications of existing accounting standards, including ASU 2009-13, we could be required to delay revenue recognition into future periods, which would harm our operating results.

In addition, certain factors have in the past and may in the future cause us to defer recognition of subscription revenues. For example, the inclusion in our client contracts of material non-standard terms, such as

 

25


Table of Contents

acceptance criteria, could require the deferral of subscription revenue. To the extent that such contracts become more prevalent in the future our revenue may be harmed.

Because of these factors and other specific requirements under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for revenue recognition, we must have very precise terms in our arrangements in order to recognize revenue when we deliver our solution or perform our professional services. Negotiation of mutually acceptable terms and conditions can extend our sales cycle, and we may accept terms and conditions that do not permit revenue recognition at the time of delivery.

We may not be able to utilize a significant portion of our net operating loss or research tax credit carryforwards, which could harm our profitability.

As of December 31, 2013, we had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards due to prior period losses of $68.4 million and $35.8 million, respectively, which if not utilized will begin to expire in 2024 for federal purposes and 2014 for state purposes. We also have federal research tax credit carryforwards, which if not utilized will begin to expire in 2024. If we are unable to generate sufficient taxable income to utilize our net operating loss and research tax credit carryforwards, these carryforwards could expire unused and be unavailable to offset future income tax liabilities, which could harm our profitability.

In addition, under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, our ability to utilize net operating loss carryforwards or other tax attributes, such as research tax credits, in any taxable year may be limited if we experience an “ownership change.” A Section 382 “ownership change” generally occurs if one or more stockholders or groups of stockholders who own at least 5% of our stock increase their ownership by more than 50 percentage points over their lowest ownership percentage within a rolling three-year period. Similar rules may apply under state tax laws. This offering or future issuances or sales of our stock (including certain transactions involving our stock that are outside of our control) could cause an “ownership change.” If an “ownership change” occurs, Section 382 would impose an annual limit on the amount of pre-ownership change net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes we can use to reduce our taxable income, potentially increasing and accelerating our liability for income taxes, and also potentially causing those tax attributes to expire unused. It is possible that such an ownership change could materially reduce our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards or other tax attributes to offset taxable income, which could harm our profitability.

Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property

Any failure to protect our intellectual property rights could impair our ability to protect our proprietary technology and our brand.

Our success and ability to compete depend in part upon our intellectual property. We currently have three registered and five pending trademarks and four issued U.S. patents and seventeen pending patent applications. We primarily rely on copyright, trade secret and trademark laws, trade secret protection and confidentiality or license agreements with our employees, clients, partners and others to protect our intellectual property rights. However, the steps we take to protect our intellectual property rights may be inadequate. We may not be able to obtain any further patents or trademarks, and our pending applications may not result in the issuance of patents or trademarks. We have pending patent applications and limited trademark registrations outside the U.S., and we may have to expend significant resources to obtain additional protection as we expand our international operations. Furthermore, legal standards relating to the validity, enforceability and scope of protection of intellectual property rights in other countries, including Russia, where we have significant research and development operations, are uncertain and may afford little or no effective protection of our proprietary technology. Consequently, we may be unable to prevent our proprietary technology from being exploited abroad, which could affect our ability to expand to international markets or require costly efforts to protect our technology.

In order to protect our intellectual property rights, we may be required to spend significant resources to monitor and protect these rights. Litigation brought to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights could be costly, time consuming and distracting to management and could result in the impairment or loss of portions of our intellectual property. Furthermore, our efforts to enforce our intellectual property rights may be met with

 

26


Table of Contents

defenses, counterclaims and countersuits attacking the validity and enforceability of our intellectual property rights. Accordingly, we may not be able to prevent third parties from infringing upon or misappropriating our intellectual property. Our failure to secure, protect and enforce our intellectual property rights could substantially harm the value of our technology, solutions, brand and business.

We may continue to be subject to third-party intellectual property infringement claims.

There is considerable patent and other intellectual property development activity and litigation in our industry. Our success depends upon our not infringing upon the intellectual property rights of others. Our competitors, as well as a number of other entities and individuals, may own or claim to own intellectual property relating to our industry. From time to time, third parties have claimed that we are infringing upon their intellectual property rights. For example, on April 3, 2012, NobelBiz, Inc. filed a patent infringement lawsuit against us alleging that our local caller ID management service infringes United States Patent No. 8,135,122. Subsequently, NobelBiz amended its complaint to add claims related to U.S. Patent No. 8,565,399, which is a continuation in the same family as the prior patent and addresses the same technology. NobelBiz seeks damages in the form of lost profits as well as injunctive relief. See “Business — Legal Proceedings.” If NobelBiz is successful in its request for injunctive relief, we will have to stop providing the accused technology, enter into a license agreement with NobelBiz for the technology or modify our technology, any of which could harm our business. There can be no assurance that we (i) will prevail in this action, (ii) can develop non-infringing technology that is accepted in the market if we are enjoined from using the accused technology or (iii) will be able to negotiate favorable licensing terms with NobelBiz. There can also be no assurance that other actions alleging infringement by us of third-party patents will not be asserted or prosecuted against us.

Certain technology necessary for us to provide our solution may be patented by other parties either now or in the future. If such technology were held under patent by another person, we would have to negotiate a license for the use of that technology. We may not be able to negotiate such a license at a price that is acceptable, or at all. The existence of such a patent, or our inability to negotiate a license for any such technology on acceptable terms, could force us to cease using such technology and offering solutions incorporating such technology.

In the future, others may claim that our solution and underlying technology infringe or violate their intellectual property rights. However, we may be unaware of the intellectual property rights that others may claim cover some or all of our technology or solution. Any claims or litigation could cause us to incur significant costs and expenses and, if successfully asserted against us, could require that we pay substantial damages or ongoing royalty payments, require that we refrain from using, manufacturing or selling certain offerings or using certain processes, prevent us from offering our solution, or require that we comply with other unfavorable terms, any of which could harm our business and operating results. We may also be obligated to indemnify our clients or business partners or pay substantial settlement costs, including royalty payments, in connection with any such claim or litigation and to obtain licenses, modify applications, or refund fees, which could be costly. Even if we were to prevail in such a dispute, any litigation regarding our intellectual property could be costly and time consuming and divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business operations.

We employ third-party licensed software for use in or with our solution, and the inability to maintain these licenses or errors in the software we license could result in increased costs, or reduced service levels, which could harm our business.

Our solution incorporates certain third-party software obtained under licenses from other companies. We anticipate that we will continue to rely on such third-party software and development tools from third parties in the future. Although we believe that there are commercially reasonable alternatives to the third-party software we currently license, this may not always be the case, or it may be difficult or costly to transition to other providers. In addition, integration of the software used in our solution with new third-party software may require significant work and require substantial investment of our time and resources. To the extent that our solution depends upon the successful operation of third-party software in conjunction with our software, any undetected errors or defects in this third-party software could prevent the deployment or impair the functionality of our solution, delay new product or solution introductions, result in a failure of our solution and injure our reputation. Our use of additional or alternative third-party software would require us to enter into license agreements with third parties.

There can be no assurance that the technology licensed by us will continue to provide competitive features and functionality or that licenses for technology currently utilized by us or other technology which we may seek to license in the future, will be available to us on commercially reasonable terms or at all. The loss of, or inability to maintain, existing licenses could result in implementation delays or reductions until equivalent technology or suitable alternative solutions could be developed, identified, licensed and integrated, and could harm our business.

Our solution utilizes open source software, and any failure to comply with the terms of one or more of these open source licenses could negatively affect our business.

Our solution includes software covered by open source licenses, which may include, for example, free general public use licenses, open source front-end libraries, open source stand-alone applications and open source applications. The terms of various open source licenses have not been interpreted by United States courts, and there is a risk that such licenses could be construed in a manner that imposes unanticipated conditions or restrictions on our ability to market our solution. By the terms of certain open source licenses, we could be required to release the source code of our proprietary software, and to make our proprietary software available under open source licenses, if we combine our proprietary software with open source software in a certain manner. In the event that portions of our proprietary software are determined to be subject to an open source license, we could be required to publicly release the affected portions of our source code, re-engineer all or a portion of our technologies, or otherwise be limited in the licensing of our technologies, each of which could reduce or eliminate the value of our technologies and solutions. In addition to risks related to license requirements, usage of open source software can lead to greater risks than use of third-party commercial software, as open source licensors generally do not provide warranties or controls on the origin of the software. Given the nature of open source software, there is also a risk that third parties may assert copyright and other intellectual property infringement claims against us based on our use of certain open source software programs. Many of the risks associated with the usage of open source software cannot be eliminated, and could harm our business.

Risks Related to Regulatory Matters

Failure to comply with laws and regulations could harm our business.

Our business is subject to regulation by various federal, state, local and foreign governmental agencies, including agencies responsible for monitoring and enforcing employment and labor laws, workplace safety, environmental laws, consumer protection laws, anti-bribery laws, import/export controls, federal securities laws and tax laws and regulations. In certain jurisdictions, these regulatory requirements may be more stringent than those in the United States and in other circumstances these requirements may be more stringent in the United States. Noncompliance with applicable regulations or requirements could subject us to investigations, sanctions, mandatory recalls, enforcement actions, disgorgement of profits, fines, damages, civil and criminal penalties or injunctions. If any governmental sanctions, fines or penalties are imposed, or if we do not prevail in any possible civil or criminal litigation, our business, operating results and financial condition could be harmed. In addition, responding to any action will likely result in a significant diversion of management’s attention and resources and an increase in professional fees. Enforcement actions and sanctions could further harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

Increased taxes on our service may increase our clients’ cost of using our service and/or reduce our profit margins to the extent the costs are not passed through to our clients, and we may be subject to liabilities for past sales and other taxes, surcharges and fees.

Prior to 2012, we did not collect or remit state or local sales, use, gross receipts, excise and utility user taxes, fees or surcharges on our solution.

During 2011, we analyzed our activities and determined that we were obligated to collect sales taxes on sales of our subscriptions in certain states. Accordingly, we registered with those states, paid past-due amounts and began collecting sales taxes from our clients and remitting such taxes to the applicable state taxing authorities. During 2013, we analyzed our activities and determined that we may be obligated to collect and remit sales, excise and utility user taxes, as well as surcharges as a communications service provider, and pay gross

 

28


Table of Contents

receipts taxes, on our usage-based fees in certain states and municipalities. We have neither collected nor remitted state and local taxes or surcharges on usage-based fees in any of the periods presented.

Based on our ongoing assessment, we will register for tax and regulatory purposes in states where we determine such regulations apply to our activities and commence collecting and remitting state and local taxes and surcharges on applicable usage-based fees. We have accrued a contingent liability for our best estimate of the probable amount of taxes and surcharges that may be imposed by various states and municipalities on our activities prior to registration. This contingent liability is based on our analysis of a number of factors, including the source location of our usage-based fees and the rules and regulations in each state. The actual amount of state and local taxes and surcharges paid may differ from our estimates. See Note 10 to the notes to our consolidated financial statements.

While we have accrued for these potential liabilities in each period, such accruals are based on analyses of our business activities, the operation of our solution, applicable statutes, regulations and rules in each state and locality and estimates of revenue subject to sales tax or other charge. State and local taxing and regulatory authorities may challenge our position and may decide to audit our business and operations with respect to state or local sales, use, gross receipts, excise and utility user taxes, fees or surcharges, which could result in tax liabilities, fees or surcharges for us above our recorded accrued liability or additional tax liabilities, fees or surcharges for our clients, which could harm our results of operations and our relationships with our clients. In addition, state or local taxing and regulatory authorities may assess penalties and interest related to our tax and regulatory obligations.

The applicability of state or local taxes, fees or surcharges relative to services such as ours is complex, ambiguous and subject to interpretation and change. If states enact new legislation or if taxing and regulatory authorities promulgate new rules or regulations or expand their interpretations of existing rules and regulations, we could incur additional liabilities. In addition, the collection of additional taxes, fees or surcharges in the future could increase our prices or reduce our profit margins. Compliance with new or existing legislation, rules or regulations may also make us less competitive with those competitors who are not subject to, or choose not to comply with, such legislation, rules or regulations. We have incurred, and will continue to incur, substantial ongoing costs associated with complying with state or local tax, fee or surcharge requirements in the numerous markets in which we conduct or will conduct business.

We are subject to assessments for unpaid Universal Service Fund contributions, as well as interest thereon and potential penalties, due to our late registration and reporting of revenues.

During the third quarter of 2012, we determined that based on our business activities, we are classified as a telecommunications service provider for regulatory purposes and we are required to make direct contributions to the federal Universal Service Fund and related funds, or USF, based on revenue we receive from the resale of interstate and international telecommunications services. Previously, we had been advised that our telecommunications services were an integral part of an information service and accordingly made indirect USF contributions as an end user through payments to our wholesale telecommunications service providers. In order to comply with the obligation to make direct contributions, in November 2012, we made a voluntary self-disclosure to the Federal Communications Commission, or FCC, Enforcement Bureau and have registered with the Universal Service Administrative Company, or USAC, which is charged by the FCC with administering the USF. As of December 31, 2013, we had a promissory note issued to USAC of $3.7 million and accrued liabilities for unpaid USF contributions of $4.2 million, which are included in accrued federal fees in the consolidated balance sheet. Approximately $803,000 of these amounts pertains to periods prior to 2008. In April 2013, we began remitting required contributions on a prospective basis directly to USAC.

Our registration with USAC subjects us to assessments for unpaid USF contributions, as well as interest and penalties thereon, due to our late registration and reporting of revenues. We are required to pay assessments for periods prior to our registration. While we are in discussions with the FCC to limit such back assessments to the period 2008 through 2012, it is possible that we will be required to pay back assessments for the period from 2003 to 2007. We are also in discussions with the FCC to obtain credit for the indirect USF payments we have made since 2003 to our wholesale telecommunications service providers. If we are unsuccessful in obtaining

 

29


Table of Contents

credit from the FCC for these payments, we will seek reimbursement from our wholesale telecommunication service providers. We will face a regulatory and contractual challenge in seeking recovery or credit for our USF reimbursement payments previously made to our wholesale telecommunication service providers. Finally, we are exposed to the potential assessment by the FCC of monetary penalties (or forfeitures) due to our past failure to recognize our obligation as a USF contributor. In lieu of the actual assessment of monetary forfeitures, due to our current voluntary disclosure proceeding with the FCC, we may be asked to make a voluntary contribution to the U.S. Treasury in order to resolve the FCC’s investigation amicably.

Our ongoing obligations to pay federal, state and local telecommunications contributions and taxes may decrease our price advantage over our competitors who have historically paid these contributions and taxes and could also make us less competitive with those competitors who are not subject to, or choose not to comply with, those requirements. In addition, if we are unable to continue to pass some or all of the cost of these contributions and taxes to our clients, our profit margins on the minutes we resell will decrease. Our federal contributions and tax obligations may significantly increase in the future, due to new interpretations by governing authorities, governmental budget pressures, changes in our business model or solutions or other factors. See Note 9 to the notes to our consolidated financial statements.

If we do not comply with FCC rules and regulations, we could be subject to FCC enforcement actions, fines, loss of licenses and possibly restrictions on our ability to operate or offer certain of our services.

Since our business is regulated by the FCC, we are subject to existing or potential FCC regulations relating to privacy, disability access, porting of numbers, USF contributions and other requirements. If we do not comply with FCC rules and regulations, we could be subject to FCC enforcement actions, fines, loss of licenses and possibly restrictions on our ability to operate or offer certain of our services. Any enforcement action by the FCC, which may be a public process, would hurt our reputation in the industry, possibly impair our ability to sell our services to clients and could harm our business and results of operations.

Among the regulations to which we are subject, we must comply (in whole or in part) with:

 

    the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act, or CALEA, which requires covered entities to assist law enforcement in undertaking electronic surveillance;

 

    contributions to the USF which requires that we pay a percentage of our revenues to support certain federal programs;

 

    payment of annual FCC regulatory fees based on our interstate and international revenues;

 

    rules pertaining to access to our services by people with disabilities and contributions to the Telecommunications Relay Services fund; and

 

    FCC rules regarding Customer Proprietary Network Information, or CPNI, which prohibit us from using such information without customer approval, subject to certain exceptions.

If we do not comply with any current or future rules or regulations that apply to our business, we could be subject to substantial fines and penalties, we may have to restructure our service offerings, exit certain markets, accept lower margins or raise the price of our services, any of which could ultimately harm our business and results of operations.

Reform of federal and state USF programs could increase the cost of our service to our clients, diminishing or eliminating our pricing advantage.

The FCC and a number of states are considering reform or other modifications to USF programs. The way we calculate our contribution may change if the FCC or certain states engage in reform or adopt other modifications. In April 2012, the FCC released a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to consider reforms to the manner in which companies like us contribute to the federal USF program. In general, the Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking is considering questions like: what companies should contribute, how contributions should be assessed, and methods to improve the administration of the system. We cannot predict the outcome of this proceeding nor its impact on our business at this time.

Table of Contents

Should the FCC or certain states adopt new contribution mechanisms or otherwise modify contribution obligations that increase our contribution burden, we will either need to raise the amount we currently collect from our clients to cover this obligation or absorb the costs, which would reduce our profit margins. Furthermore, the FCC has ruled that states can require us to contribute to state USF programs. A number of states already require us to contribute, while others are actively considering extending their programs to include the solution we provide. We currently pass through USF contributions to our clients which may result in our solution becoming less competitive as compared to those provided by our competitors.

Privacy concerns and domestic or foreign laws and regulations may reduce the demand for our solution, increase our costs and harm our business.

Our clients can use our solution to collect, use and store information, including personally identifiable information or other information treated as confidential, regarding their customers and potential customers. Federal, state and foreign government bodies and agencies have adopted, are considering adopting, or may adopt laws and regulations, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, regarding the collection, use, storage and disclosure of such information obtained from consumers and individuals. The costs of compliance with, and other burdens imposed by, such laws and regulations that are applicable to the businesses of our clients may limit the use and adoption of our solution and reduce overall demand, or lead to significant fines, penalties or liabilities for any noncompliance with such privacy laws. Furthermore, privacy concerns may cause consumers to resist providing the personal data necessary to allow our clients to use our solution effectively. Even the perception of privacy concerns, whether or not valid, may inhibit market adoption of our solution in certain industries or countries.

Domestic and international legislative and regulatory initiatives may harm our clients’ ability to process, handle, store, use and transmit information, including demographic and personally identifiable information or other information treated as confidential, regarding their customers, which could reduce demand for our solution. The European Union and many countries in Europe have particularly stringent privacy laws and regulations, which may impact our ability to profitably operate in certain European countries.

In addition to government activity, privacy advocacy groups and the technology and other industries are considering various new, additional or different self-regulatory standards that may place additional burdens on us. If the processing of information were to be curtailed in this manner, our solution may be less attractive, which may reduce demand for our solution and harm our business.

Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock and this Offering

There has been no prior market for our common stock and an active market may not develop or be sustained and investors may not be able to resell their shares at or above the initial public offering price.

There has been no public market for our common stock prior to this offering. The initial public offering price for our common stock will be determined through negotiations between the underwriters and us and may vary substantially from the market price of our common stock following this offering. If you purchase shares of our common stock in this offering, you may not be able to resell those shares at or above the initial public offering price. An active or liquid market in our common stock may not develop upon completion of this offering or, if it does develop, may not be sustained.

Our stock price may be volatile or may decline, including due to factors beyond our control, resulting in substantial losses for investors purchasing shares in this offering.

The trading prices of the securities of technology companies have been highly volatile. The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:

 

    actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results;

 

    the financial projections we may provide to the public, any changes in these projections or our failure to meet these projections;

 

31


Table of Contents
    failure of securities analysts to initiate or maintain coverage of our company, changes in financial estimates by any securities analysts who follow our company, or our failure to meet these estimates or the expectations of investors;

 

    ratings changes by any securities analysts who follow our company;

 

    announcements by us or our competitors of significant technical innovations, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;

 

    changes in operating performance and stock market valuations of other technology companies generally, or those in the SaaS industry in particular;

 

    price and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market, including as a result of trends in the U.S. or global economy;

 

    any major change in our board of directors or management;

 

    lawsuits threatened or filed against us;

 

    legislation or regulation of our business, the internet and/or contact centers;

 

    loss of key personnel;

 

    new entrants into the contact center market, including the transition by providers of legacy on-premise contact center systems to cloud solutions, as well as cable and incumbent telephone companies and other well-capitalized competitors;

 

    new products or new sales by us or our competitors;

 

    the perceived or real impact of events that harm our direct competitors;

 

    developments with respect to patents or proprietary rights;

 

    general market conditions; and

 

    other events or factors, including those resulting from war, incidents of terrorism or responses to these events, which could be unrelated to, or outside of, our control.

In addition, stock markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of many technology companies. Stock prices of many technology companies have fluctuated in a manner unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. In the past, stockholders have instituted securities class action litigation following periods of market volatility. If we were to become involved in securities litigation, it could subject us to substantial costs, divert resources and the attention of management from our business and harm our business, results of operations, financial condition, reputation and cash flows.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or publish negative reports about our business, our share price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our common stock will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business, our market and our competitors. We do not have any control over these analysts. If one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our shares or change their opinion of our shares, our share price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause our share price or trading volume to decline.

We may invest or spend the proceeds of this offering in ways with which you may not agree or in ways which may not yield a return.

We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, which we expect to include growing our business by expanding our direct sales force and investing to grow our international client base, as well as other working capital, operating expenses and capital expenditures. Additionally, we may use a portion of the net proceeds to acquire complementary businesses, technologies or other assets. We may also use a portion of the net proceeds from this offering to repay the $12.5 million principal amount currently outstanding under our revolving line of credit. Our management will have

 

32


Table of Contents

considerable discretion in the application of the net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately or to influence our decisions regarding the use of proceeds. The net proceeds may be used for purposes that do not increase the value of our business, which could cause our stock price to decline.

Substantial future sales of shares of our common stock could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.

The market price of shares of our common stock could decline as a result of substantial sales of our common stock, particularly sales by our directors, executive officers and significant stockholders, a large number of shares of our common stock becoming available for sale or the perception in the market that holders of a large number of shares intend to sell their shares. After this offering, we will have              shares of our common stock outstanding, based on the number of shares outstanding as of                     . This includes the shares included in this offering, which may be resold in the public market immediately. An additional              shares may also be resold in the public market immediately. The remaining              shares are currently restricted as a result of 180-day market stand-off or lock-up agreements. J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Barclays Capital Inc. may, in their sole discretion, permit our officers, directors, employees and current stockholders who are subject to the 180-day contractual lock-up to sell shares prior to the expiration of the lock-up agreements. See “Underwriting.”

After this offering, the holders of an aggregate of              shares of our common stock as of              will have rights, subject to some conditions, to require us to file registration statements covering their shares or to include their shares in registration statements that we may file for ourselves or our stockholders. We also intend to register shares of common stock that we may issue under our employee equity incentive plans. Once we register these shares, they will be able to be sold freely in the public market upon issuance, subject to existing market stand-off and/or lock-up agreements.

Purchasers in this offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution.

The initial public offering price per share will be substantially higher than the pro forma net tangible book value per share of our common stock outstanding prior to this offering. As a result, investors purchasing common stock in this offering will experience immediate dilution of $             per share. This dilution is due in large part to the fact that our earlier investors paid substantially less than the initial public offering price when they purchased their shares of common stock. In addition, we have issued options to acquire common stock at prices significantly below the initial public offering price. To the extent outstanding options are ultimately exercised, there will be further dilution to investors in this offering. In addition, if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares from us or if we issue additional equity securities, you will experience additional dilution.

The requirements of being a public company may strain our resources, divert management’s attention and affect our ability to attract and retain executive management and qualified board members.

As a public company, we will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Act, the listing requirements of the NYSE and other applicable securities laws, rules and regulations. Compliance with these laws, rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming or costly and increase demand on our systems and resources, particularly after we are no longer an “emerging growth company.” The Exchange Act requires, among other things, that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business and operating results. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. In order to maintain and, if required, improve our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting to meet this standard, significant resources and management oversight may be required. As a result, management’s attention may be diverted from other business concerns and our costs and expenses will increase, which could harm our business and operating results. Although we have already hired additional employees to comply with these requirements, we may need to hire more employees in the future or engage outside consultants, which will increase our costs and expenses.

In addition, changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure are creating uncertainty for public companies, increasing legal and financial compliance costs and making some

 

33


Table of Contents

activities more time consuming. These laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations, in many cases due to their lack of specificity and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. We intend to invest resources to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards, and this investment may result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management’s time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. If our efforts to comply with new laws, regulations and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies due to ambiguities related to their application and practice, regulatory authorities may initiate legal proceedings against us and our business may be harmed.

We will incur additional compensation costs in the event that we decide to pay our executive officers cash compensation closer to that of executive officers of other public cloud and technology companies, which would increase our general and administrative expense and could harm our profitability. Any future equity awards will also increase our compensation expenses. We also expect that being a public company and compliance with applicable rules and regulations will make it more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage. These factors could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified executive officers and members of our board of directors, particularly to serve on our audit committee and compensation committee.

As a result of disclosure of information in this prospectus and in filings required of a public company, our business and financial condition will become more visible, which could be advantageous to our competitors and clients and could result in threatened or actual litigation, including by competitors and other third parties. If such claims are successful, our business and operating results could be harmed, and even if the claims are resolved in our favor, these claims, and the time and resources necessary to resolve them, could divert the resources of our management and harm our business and operating results.

We are an emerging growth company and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.

We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised financial accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have irrevocably elected not to avail ourselves of this extended transition period and, therefore, we will be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies.”

For as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we may also take advantage of certain other exemptions from reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile or decline.

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the end of the fiscal year in which the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates is at least $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, (ii) the end of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenues of $1 billion or more during such fiscal year, (iii) the date on which we issue more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt in a three-year period or (iv) the end of the fiscal year in which the fifth anniversary of the date of this prospectus occurs.

Anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents and under Delaware law could make an acquisition of our company more difficult, limit attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management and limit the market price of our common stock.

Provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, as amended and restated in connection with this offering, may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control or changes in our management. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws will include provisions that:

 

    provide that our board of directors is classified into three classes of directors;

 

    provide that stockholders may remove directors only for cause and only with the approval of holders of at least 66 23% of our then outstanding capital stock;

 

    provide that the authorized number of directors may be changed only by resolution of the board of directors;

 

    provide that all vacancies, including newly created directorships, may, except as otherwise required by law, be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of directors then in office, even if less than a quorum;

 

    provide that our stockholders may not take action by written consent, and may only take action at annual or special meetings of our stockholders;

 

    provide that stockholders seeking to present proposals before a meeting of stockholders or to nominate candidates for election as directors at a meeting of stockholders must provide notice in writing in a timely manner, and also specify requirements as to the form and content of a stockholder’s notice;

 

    do not provide for cumulative voting rights (therefore allowing the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock entitled to vote in any election of directors to elect all of the directors standing for election);

 

    provide that special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by the chairman of the board, our chief executive officer or the board of directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of authorized directors; and

 

    provide that stockholders will be permitted to amend our amended and restated bylaws only upon receiving at least 662/3% of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of all outstanding shares then entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.

These provisions may frustrate or prevent any attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management by making it more difficult for stockholders to replace members of our board of directors, which is responsible for appointing the members of our management. In addition, because we are incorporated in Delaware, we are governed by the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which generally prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any of a broad range of business combinations with any “interested” stockholder for a period of three years following the date on which the stockholder became an “interested” stockholder.

We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future. If our stock price does not appreciate after you purchase our shares, you may lose some or all of your investment.

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain any future earnings and do not expect to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to declare cash dividends will be made at the discretion of our board of directors, subject to applicable laws, and will depend on a number of factors, including our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, general business conditions and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. In addition, our secured credit agreement prohibits us and our subsidiaries from, among other things, paying any dividends or making any other distribution or payment on account of our common stock. Accordingly, investors must rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize any future gains on their investments.

Table of Contents

Our directors, executive officers and significant stockholders, who after this offering will hold approximately     % of the voting power of our outstanding capital stock, will continue to have substantial control over us after this offering and could delay or prevent a change in corporate control.

After this offering, our directors, executive officers and holders of more than 5% of our common stock, together with their affiliates, will beneficially own, in the aggregate,     % of our outstanding common stock, on a fully diluted basis. As a result, these stockholders, acting together, have the ability to control the outcome of matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election of directors and any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. In addition, these stockholders, acting together, have the ability to control the management and affairs of our company. Accordingly, this concentration of ownership might decrease the market price of our common stock by:

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Some of the statements under the captions “Prospectus Summary,” “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Business” and elsewhere in this prospectus may include forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, which involve substantial risks and uncertainties. These statements reflect the current views of our senior management with respect to future events and our financial performance. These statements include forward-looking statements with respect to our business and our industry in general. Statements that include the words “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “project,” “forecast,” “estimate,” “may,” “should,” “anticipate” and similar statements of a future or forward-looking nature identify forward-looking statements for purposes of the federal securities laws or otherwise.

Forward-looking statements address matters that involve risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements. We believe that these factors include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

    our quarterly and annual results may fluctuate significantly, may not fully reflect the underlying performance of our business and may result in decreases in the price of our common stock;

 

    if we are unable to attract new clients or sell additional services and functionality to our existing clients, our revenue and revenue growth will be harmed;

 

    our recent rapid growth may not be indicative of our future growth, and if we continue to grow rapidly, we may fail to manage our growth effectively;

 

    the markets in which we participate are highly competitive, and if we do not compete effectively, our operating results could be harmed;

 

    if we fail to manage our technical operations infrastructure, our existing clients may experience service outages, our new clients may experience delays in the deployment of our solution and we could be subject to, among other things, claims for credits or damages;

 

    if our dollar-based retention rate declines, our revenues, gross margins and net income could decrease and we may be required to spend more money to grow our client base and maintain our revenues;

 

    we sell our solution to larger organizations that require longer sales and implementation cycles and often demand more configuration and integration services or customized features and functions that we may not offer, any of which could delay or prevent these sales and harm our growth rates, business and operating results;

 

    because most of our revenue is derived from existing clients, downturns or upturns in new sales will not be immediately reflected in our operating results and may be difficult to discern;

 

    we rely on third-party telecommunications and internet service providers to provide our clients and their customers with telecommunication services and connectivity to our cloud contact center software and any failure by these service providers to provide reliable services could subject us to, among other things, claims for credits or damages;

 

    we have a history of losses and we may be unable to achieve or sustain profitability; and

 

    other factors discussed under the headings “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Business.”

The foregoing factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read together with the other cautionary statements included in this prospectus. If one or more of these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, our actual results may differ materially from what we anticipate. You should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statements you read in this prospectus reflect our views as of the date of this prospectus with respect to future events and are subject to these and other risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating to our operations, results of operations, growth strategy and liquidity. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this prospectus to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this prospectus or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law. Before making a decision to purchase our common stock, you should carefully consider all of the factors identified in this prospectus that could cause actual results to differ.

MARKET AND INDUSTRY DATA

In this prospectus, we rely on and refer to information and statistics regarding the industries and the markets in which we compete. We obtained this information and these statistics from various third-party sources. We believe that these sources and the estimates contained therein are reliable, but we have not independently verified them. Such information involves risks and uncertainties and is subject to change based on various factors, including those discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of this prospectus.

Each of the Gartner Reports described herein, Gartner, Inc., Forecast: Contact Centers, Worldwide, 2010-2017, 3Q13 Update, Drew Kraus, September 18, 2013 and Gartner, Inc., Market Trends: Contact Centers as a Service, North America, 2012, Daniel O’Connell, Drew Kraus, Gartner Foundational, June 6, 2012, represents data, research opinion or viewpoints published, as part of a syndicated subscription service, by Gartner, Inc., or Gartner, and are not representations of fact. Each Gartner Report speaks as of its original publication date (and not as of the date of this prospectus) and the opinions expressed in the Gartner Reports are subject to change without notice.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that the net proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock by us in this offering will be approximately $             million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated fees and expenses payable by us, based upon the assumed initial public offering price of $             per share, which is the midpoint of the estimated price range set forth on the cover of this prospectus. If the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares in full, we estimate that our net proceeds would be $             million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated fees and expenses payable by us.

The principal purposes of this offering are to increase our capitalization and financial flexibility, create a public market for our common stock and enable access to the public equity markets for us and our stockholders. As of the date of this prospectus, we have no specific plans for the use of the net proceeds we receive from this offering. However, we intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, which we expect to include growing our business by expanding our direct sales force and investing to grow our international client base, as well as other working capital, operating expenses and capital expenditures. Additionally, we may use a portion of the net proceeds to acquire complementary businesses, technologies or other assets. However, we do not have agreements or commitments for any acquisitions at this time. We may also use a portion of the net proceeds from this offering to repay the $12.5 million principal amount currently outstanding under our revolving line of credit. We cannot specify with certainty the particular uses of the net proceeds that we will receive from this offering. Accordingly, our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds, and investors will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding the application of the proceeds from this offering. Pending the use of proceeds from this offering as described above, we plan to invest the net proceeds that we receive in this offering in short-term and long-term interest-bearing obligations, including government and investment-grade debt securities and money market funds.

DIVIDEND POLICY

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain any future earnings and do not expect to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to declare cash dividends will be made at the discretion of our board of directors, subject to applicable laws, and will depend on a number of factors, including our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, general business conditions and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. Our loan and security agreements prohibit us and our subsidiaries from, among other things, paying any dividends or making any other distribution or payment on account of our capital stock.

DILUTION

If you invest in our common stock, your ownership interest will be immediately diluted to the extent of the difference between the offering price per share and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering. Net tangible book value per share represents the amount of our total tangible assets less total liabilities, divided by the number of shares of common stock outstanding. Dilution in pro forma net tangible book value per share represents the difference between the amount per share paid by purchasers of our common stock in this offering and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of common stock immediately after the consummation of this offering.

Our historical net tangible book value as of December 31, 2013 was $         million, or $         per share, not taking into account the conversion of our outstanding preferred stock. Our pro forma net tangible book value as of December 31, 2013 was approximately $         million, or $         per share, after giving effect to the conversion of all outstanding shares of our preferred stock into             shares of our common stock.

After giving effect to the             :             reverse stock split, conversion of all of our preferred stock and the sale by us of the             shares of our common stock in this offering at the assumed initial public offering price of $         per share, which is the midpoint of the estimated price range on the cover page of this prospectus, less underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated fees and expenses payable by us, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of December 31, 2013 would have been approximately $         million, or approximately $         per share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $         per share to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $         per share to new investors of common stock in this offering. The following table illustrates this per share dilution:

 

Assumed initial public offering price per share

      $                

Historical net tangible book value per share as of December 31, 2013

   $                   

Pro forma increase in net tangible book value per share attributable to conversion of preferred stock

     

Pro forma net tangible book value per share as of December 31, 2013

     

Increase in pro forma net tangible book value per share attributable to new investors in this offering

      $                
     

 

 

 

Dilution per share to new investors in this offering

      $                
     

 

 

 

A $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of $         per share, which is the midpoint of the estimated price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, would increase (decrease) our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value by approximately $         million, or $         per share, and the dilution per share to investors in this offering by approximately $         per share, assuming no change to the number of shares offered by us as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated fees and expenses payable by us. We may also increase or decrease the number of shares we are offering. A 1.0 million increase (decrease) in the number of shares offered by us would increase (decrease) our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value by approximately $         million, or $         per share, assuming the initial public offering price of $         per share, which is the midpoint of the estimated price range set forth on the cover of this prospectus, and the dilution per share to investors in this offering by approximately $         per share after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated fees and expenses payable by us. The pro forma as adjusted information discussed above is illustrative only.

If the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares in this offering in full, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of December 31, 2013 would be $        , the increase in as adjusted net tangible book value per share to existing stockholders would be $         per share and the dilution per share to new investors would be $        .

All shares to be issued in this offering were excluded from the unaudited pro forma basic and diluted net loss per share calculation.

 

(3) We calculate Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, to analyze our financial results and believe that it is useful to investors, as a supplement to U.S. GAAP measures, in evaluating our ongoing operational performance and enhancing an overall understanding of our past financial performance. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA helps illustrate underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the income or expenses that we exclude from Adjusted EBITDA. Furthermore, we use this measure to establish budgets and operational goals for managing our business and evaluating our performance. We also believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our recurring core business operating results over multiple periods with other companies in our industry.

Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from that of other companies in our industry. We compensate for the inherent limitations associated with using Adjusted EBITDA through disclosure of these limitations, presentation of our financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, net loss. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net loss before (1) provision for income taxes, (2) other expense, net, (3) depreciation and amortization and (4) stock-based compensation.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion in conjunction with the section titled “Selected Consolidated Historical Financial and Operating Data” and our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. In addition to historical information, this discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our expectations. Factors that could cause such differences include, but are not limited to, those described in the section titled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus.

Overview

We are a pioneer and leading provider of cloud software for contact centers, facilitating over three billion interactions between our more than 2,000 clients and their customers per year. We believe we achieved this leadership position through our expertise and technology, which has empowered us to help organizations of all sizes transition from legacy on-premise contact center systems to our cloud solution. Our solution, which is comprised of our VCC cloud platform and applications, allows simultaneous management and optimization of customer interactions across voice, chat, email, web, social media and mobile channels, either directly or through our application programming interfaces. Our VCC cloud platform routes each customer interaction to an appropriate agent resource, and delivers relevant customer data to the agent in real-time to optimize the customer experience. Unlike legacy on-premise contact center systems, our solution requires minimal up-front investment and can be rapidly deployed and adjusted depending on our client’s requirements.

Since founding our business in 2001, we have focused exclusively on delivering cloud contact center software. We initially targeted smaller contact center opportunities with our telesales team and, over time, invested in expanding the breadth and depth of the functionality of our cloud platform to meet the evolving requirements of our clients. In 2009, we made a strategic decision to expand our market opportunity to include larger contact centers. This decision drove further investments in research and development and the establishment of our field sales team to meet the requirements of these larger contact centers. We believe this shift has helped us diversify our client base while significantly enhancing our opportunity for future revenue growth. To complement these efforts, we also have focused on building client awareness and driving adoption of our solution through marketing activities, which include internet advertising, digital marketing campaigns, social marketing, trade shows, industry events and telemarketing.

We provide our solution through a SaaS business model that drives recurring and predictable revenue. We offer a comprehensive suite of applications delivered on our VCC cloud platform that are designed to enable our clients to manage and optimize interactions across inbound and outbound contact centers. We primarily generate revenue by selling subscriptions and related usage of our VCC cloud platform. We charge our clients monthly subscription fees for access to our solution, primarily based on the number of agent seats, as well as the specific functionalities and applications our clients deploy. We define agent seats as the maximum number of named agents allowed to concurrently access our solution. Our clients typically have more named agents than agent seats, and multiple named agents may use an agent seat, though not simultaneously. Substantially all of our clients purchase both subscriptions and related usage from us. A small percentage of our clients subscribe to our platform but purchase telephony usage directly from a wholesale telecommunications service provider. We do not sell telephony usage on a stand-alone basis to any client. The related usage fees are based on the volume of minutes for inbound and outbound interactions. We also offer bundled plans, generally for smaller deployments whereby the client is charged a single monthly fixed fee per agent seat that includes both subscription and unlimited usage in the contiguous 48 states and, in some cases, Canada. We offer both annual and monthly contracts to our clients, with 30 days’ notice required for changes in the number of agent seats. Our clients can use this notice period to rapidly adjust the number of agent seats used to meet their changing contact center volume needs, including to reduce the number of agent seats to zero. As a general matter, this means that a client can effectively terminate its agreement with us upon 30 days’ notice. Our larger clients typically choose annual contracts, which generally include an implementation and ramp period of several months. Fixed subscription fees (including bundled plans) are billed monthly in advance, while related usage fees are billed in arrears. For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, subscription and related usage fees accounted for 96%, 97%

and 98% of our revenue, respectively. The remainder is comprised of professional services revenue from the implementation and optimization of our solution.

Our revenue growth over the last three years has primarily been driven by new clients choosing to use our solution and to a lesser extent, existing clients gradually increasing the number of agent seats under subscription. For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, no single client accounted for more than 10% of our total revenue. As of December 31, 2013, we had over 2,000 clients across multiple industries, with subscriptions ranging in size from fewer than 10 agent seats to approximately 1,000 agent seats.

We have achieved significant growth in a relatively short period of time. For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, our revenue was $43.2 million, $63.8 million and $84.1 million, respectively, representing year-over-year growth of 48% and 32%, respectively. We have continued to make significant expenditures and investments, including in research and development, sales and marketing and infrastructure. We have incurred net losses of $7.9 million, $19.3 million and $31.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively. We primarily evaluate the success of our business based on revenue growth and the efficiency and effectiveness of our investments.

The growth of our business and our future success depend on many factors, including our ability to continue to expand our client base to include larger opportunities, grow revenue from our existing client base, innovate and expand internationally. While these areas represent significant opportunities for us, they also pose risks and challenges that we must successfully address in order to sustain the growth of our business and improve our operating results. In order to pursue these opportunities, we anticipate that we will expand our operations and headcount in the near term. The expected addition of new employees and the investments that we anticipate will be necessary to manage our anticipated growth will make it more difficult for us to generate earnings. As we grow our business, we expect our cost of revenue and operating expenses to increase in future periods. For example, (i) sales and marketing expenses are expected to increase in absolute dollars as we continue to expand our sales and marketing teams, increase our marketing activities and grow our international operations; (ii) research and development expenses are expected to increase in absolute dollars to support the enhancement of our existing solution and development of additional industry-leading contact center features and applications; and (iii) general and administrative expenses are expected to increase in absolute dollars as a result of both our growth and the infrastructure required to be a public company. In order to support future client growth, we also intend to invest in maintaining a high level of client service and support and to continue investing in our data center infrastructure and services capabilities. Due to our continuing investments to scale our business, increase our sales and marketing efforts, pursue new opportunities, enhance our solution and build our technology, we will incur expenses in the future for which we may not realize benefit.

Key Operating and Financial Performance Metrics

In addition to measures of financial performance presented in our consolidated financial statements, we monitor the key metrics set forth below to help us evaluate growth trends, establish budgets, measure the effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts, and assess operational efficiencies.

Dollar-Based Retention Rate

We believe that our Dollar-Based Retention Rate provides insight into our ability to retain and grow revenue from our clients, and is a measure of the long-term value of our client relationships. Our Dollar-Based Retention Rate is calculated by dividing our Retained Net Invoicing by our Retention Base Net Invoicing on a monthly basis, which we then average using the rates for the trailing twelve months for the period being presented. We define Retention Base Net Invoicing as recurring net invoicing from all clients in the comparable prior year period, and we define Retained Net Invoicing as recurring net invoicing from that same group of clients in the current period. We define recurring net invoicing as subscription and related usage revenue excluding the impact of service credits, reserves and deferrals. Historically, recurring net invoicing has been within 10% of our subscription and related usage revenue. Our Dollar-Based Retention Rate was at or above 100% in each of the periods presented. Although our Dollar-Based Retention Rate is an indicator of the stability of our revenues, as indicated below, it has fluctuated, primarily as a result of significant occasional increases in recurring net invoicing due to large clients increasing their subscriptions as they add agent seats.

Adjusted EBITDA

We monitor Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, to analyze our financial results and believe that it is useful to investors, as a supplement to U.S. GAAP measures, in evaluating our ongoing operational performance and enhancing an overall understanding of our past financial performance. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA helps illustrate underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the income or expenses that we exclude from Adjusted EBITDA. Furthermore, we use this measure to establish budgets and operational goals for managing our business and evaluating our performance. We also believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our recurring core business operating results over multiple periods with other companies in our industry.

Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from that of other companies in our industry. We compensate for the inherent limitations associated with using Adjusted EBITDA through disclosure of these limitations, presentation of our financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, net loss. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net loss before (1) provision for income taxes, (2) other expense, net, (3) depreciation and amortization and (4) stock-based compensation. See “Selected Consolidated Historical Financial and Operating Data” for a reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA.

Key Components of Our Results of Operations

Revenue

Our revenue consists of subscription and related usage as well as professional services. We consider our subscription and related usage to be recurring. This recurring revenue includes fixed subscription fees for the delivery and support of our VCC cloud platform as well as related usage fees. The related fees for usage are based on the volume of minutes for inbound and outbound customer interactions. We also offer bundled plans, generally for smaller deployments, whereby the client is charged a single monthly fixed fee per agent seat that includes both subscription and unlimited usage in the contiguous 48 states, and, in some cases, Canada. We offer both annual and monthly contracts for our clients, with 30 days’ notice required for changes in the number of agent seats. Our clients can use this notice period to rapidly adjust the number of agent seats used to meet their changing contact center volume needs, including to reduce the number of agent seats to zero. As a general matter, this means that a client can effectively terminate its agreement with us upon 30 days’ notice.

Fixed subscription fees, including plans with bundled usage, are billed monthly in advance while variable usage fees are billed in arrears. Fixed subscription fees are recognized on a straight-line basis over the applicable term, predominantly the monthly contractual billing period. Support activities include technical assistance for our solution and upgrades and enhancements on a when and if available basis, which are not billed separately. Variable subscription related usage fees for non-bundled plans are billed in arrears based on client specific per minute rate plans and are recognized as actual usage occurs. We generally require advance deposits from clients based on estimated usage. All fees, except usage deposits, are non-refundable.

In addition, we generate professional services revenue from assisting clients in implementing our solution and optimizing use. These services include application configuration, system integration and education and

Table of Contents

training services. Professional services are primarily billed on a fixed-fee basis and are typically performed by us directly. In limited cases, our clients may choose to perform these services themselves or engage their own third-party service providers to perform such services. Professional services are recognized as the services are performed using the proportional performance method, with performance measured based on hours of work performed provided all other criteria for revenue recognition are met.

Cost of Revenue

Our cost of revenue consists primarily of fees that we pay to telecommunications providers for usage, personnel costs (including stock-based compensation), taxes due to federal agencies on usage fees, costs to build out and maintain data centers, depreciation and related expenses of the servers and equipment, amortization of acquired developed technology, state taxes paid to telecommunication providers and allocated facility costs. Personnel costs included as part of cost of revenue include those associated with support of our solution, clients and data center operations, as well as providing professional services. Cost of revenue can fluctuate based on a number of factors, including the fees we pay to telecommunications providers, which vary depending on our clients’ usage of our VCC cloud platform, the timing of capital expenditures and related depreciation charges and changes in headcount. We expect to continue investing in our network infrastructure and client support function to maintain high quality and availability of service. As our business grows, we expect to realize economies of scale in network infrastructure, personnel and client support.

Operating Expenses

We classify our operating expenses as research and development, sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses.

Research and Development.    Our research and development expenses consist primarily of salary and related expenses (including stock-based compensation) for personnel related to the development of improvements and expanded features for our services, as well as quality assurance, testing, product management and allocated overhead. We expense research and development expenses as they are incurred due to our relatively short development cycle. We believe that continued investment in our solution is important for our future growth, and we expect research and development expenses to increase in absolute dollars in the foreseeable future, although these expenses may fluctuate as a percentage of our revenue from period to period.

Sales and Marketing.    Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses (including stock-based compensation) for employees in sales and marketing, including commissions and bonuses, as well as advertising, marketing events, corporate communications, travel costs and allocated overhead. We expense the costs of sales commissions associated with the acquisition or renewal of client contracts as incurred in the period the contract is acquired or the renewal occurs. We believe it is important to continue investing in sales and marketing to continue to generate revenue growth. Accordingly, we expect sales and marketing expenses to increase in absolute dollars as we continue to support our growth initiatives, although these expenses may fluctuate as a percentage of our revenue from period to period.

General and Administrative.    General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salary and related expenses (including stock-based compensation) for management, finance and accounting, legal, information systems and human resources personnel, professional fees, compliance costs, other corporate expenses and allocated overhead. We anticipate that we will incur increased expenses for personnel and professional services, including auditing and legal services, insurance and other corporate governance expenses related to operating as a public company. We expect that general and administrative expenses will increase in absolute dollars, especially in the near term, as we continue to add personnel to support our growth and operate as a public company, although these expenses may fluctuate as a percentage of our revenue from period to period.

Other Expense, Net

Our other expense, net consists primarily of interest expense associated with our capital leases, notes payable and revolving line of credit. As a result of our additional term loan borrowed in October 2013 to acquire SoCoCare and our drawdown of $12.5 million under the revolving line of credit in December 2013, we expect that interest expense will increase in absolute dollars.

Table of Contents

Change in Fair Value of Convertible Preferred Stock Warrant Liability.    We have outstanding warrants to purchase shares of our convertible preferred stock which are classified as liabilities. The convertible preferred stock warrants are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date, and any change in fair value is recognized as a component of other expense, net. In connection with this offering, the warrants will automatically be converted into warrants for common stock and the liability amount reclassified to stockholders’ equity. We will no longer be required to re-measure the value of the warrants once they are converted to warrants for common stock after this offering and, therefore, no further charges or credits related to such warrants will be made to other expense, net.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our provision for income taxes consists primarily of corporate income taxes resulting from profits generated in foreign jurisdictions by wholly-owned subsidiaries, along with state income taxes payable in the United States.

Revenue

   $ 63,822       $ 84,132       $ 20,310         32

Revenue increased by $20.3 million, or 32%, for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to the year ended December 31, 2012. Approximately $10.5 million of the increase was due to a 17% increase in the number of new clients from December 31, 2012 to December 31, 2013. The increase in the number of new clients was primarily driven by an increase in sales and marketing activities for the year ended December 31, 2013 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2012. The remaining $9.8 million of the increase was due to revenue growth from existing clients as of December 31, 2012. Our average pricing remained relatively consistent between these periods.

and related equipment depreciation costs of $2.4 million, telecommunications services costs of $1.6 million, hosted software costs of $0.7 million and equipment-related expenses and facility overhead costs of $0.4 million. The increase in telecommunications services costs was partially offset by a decrease of $1.1 million in expenses related to USF contributions. This $1.1 million decrease was due to the fact that in the year ended December 31, 2012 we incurred duplicate expenses for USF contributions payable to both our wholesale telecommunications service providers and USAC, while in the year ended December 31, 2013, we solely incurred expenses for USF contributions payable to USAC. The increases in personnel costs were primarily driven by increased headcount. The increases in the other expense categories were primarily driven by investments in technical infrastructure to support current and expected future client growth.

Overall gross margin increased by 4% from 38% to 42% for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to the year ended December 31, 2012, primarily due to a reduction in the costs for telecommunication services as a result of carrier changes and improved cost management systems and processes and elimination of duplicate USF contribution assessments. These decreases were partially offset by colocation and related equipment depreciation costs, which increased due to infrastructure investment as well as higher personnel costs driven by increased headcount to support growth.

Research and development expenses increased $4.3 million, or 33%, for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to the year ended December 31, 2012, primarily due to increases in personnel costs of $3.8 million and facilities and equipment-related expenses of $0.5 million. The increase in personnel costs was primarily due to an increase in average employee and related costs as we increased compensation for our non-U.S. workforce, while also hiring senior level employees to invest in future growth.

Sales and marketing expenses increased $11.3 million, or 67%, for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to the year ended December 31, 2012, primarily due to increases in personnel costs of $6.1 million, marketing-related activities of $2.6 million, commissions paid to sales personnel of $1.3 million, and allocated facility costs of $0.5 million. The increase in personnel costs was primarily due to headcount additions, while the increase in commissions was primarily due to growth in sales of our solution. We increased marketing efforts to raise brand awareness and lead generation efforts, which led to increased marketing, travel and related expenses. The increases in headcount and other expense categories described above supported our growth strategy to acquire new clients, increase the number of agent seats within our existing client base and establish brand awareness.

General and administrative expenses increased $6.5 million, or 56%, for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to the year ended December 31, 2012, primarily due to increases in personnel costs of $2.6 million, fees for outside professional services of $2.3 million, third-party software costs of $0.5 million and equipment and facility costs of $0.4 million. The increase in personnel and equipment and facility costs was primarily due to increases in headcount and average salary and related costs due to senior-level hires as we built our management team in preparation for future growth. Outside professional services fees increased primarily due to legal and

accounting costs as we prepared to become a public company, and the increase in third-party software costs was due primarily to upgrading existing software and purchasing new software to support our growth.

Other expense, net increased by $0.7 million to net expense of $2.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to a net expense of $2.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, primarily due to an increase in interest and other, net expenses of $0.5 million due to increases in interest expense driven by additions of equipment financed by capital leases and outstanding debt.

Revenue

   $ 43,188       $ 63,822       $ 20,634         48

Revenue increased by $20.6 million, or 48%, for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to the year ended December 31, 2011. Approximately $9.7 million of the increase was due to a 32% increase in the number of clients from December 31, 2011 to December 31, 2012. The increase in the number of new clients was primarily driven by an increase in sales and marketing activities for the year ended December 31, 2012 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2011. The additional $10.9 million of the increase was due to revenue growth from existing clients as of December 31, 2011, as reflected in our Dollar Based Retention Rate, and additional revenue generated from existing clients added in 2011. Our average pricing remained relatively consistent between these periods.

Cost of revenue increased by $14.7 million, or 60%, for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to the year ended December 31, 2011, primarily due to increases in telecommunications services costs of $7.1 million, personnel costs of $3.9 million, colocation facility and related equipment depreciation costs of $2.7 million and an increase in equipment-related expenses and facility overhead costs of $0.9 million. The increase in personnel costs was primarily driven by increased headcount. The increases in the other expense categories were primarily driven by investments in our technical infrastructure to support current and future client growth.

Overall gross margin decreased by 5% from 43% to 38% for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to the year ended December 31, 2011, primarily due to increases in colocation and related equipment depreciation costs as a percentage of revenue as we continued to invest in infrastructure to support current and future clients, increases in costs for telecommunication services due to usage mix, and increases in employee and related costs due to headcount growth.

Research and development expenses increased $4.5 million, or 51%, for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to the year ended December 31, 2011, primarily due to increases in personnel costs of $4.0 million and consulting and other third-party related services of $0.5 million. The increase in personnel costs was primarily due to an increase in headcount and average employee and related costs as we hired senior level employees to invest in future growth. The increase in consulting and other third-party services was related to our investment in improving our solution.

Sales and marketing expenses increased $6.6 million, or 65%, for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to the year ended December 31, 2011, primarily due to increases in personnel costs of $3.4 million, marketing-related activities of $1.7 million, commissions paid to sales personnel of $0.9 million, and allocated facility costs of $0.3 million. The increase in personnel costs was primarily due to an increase in headcount and the increase in commissions was primarily due to growth in sales of our solution. We increased marketing activities to raise brand awareness and lead generation, which led to increased marketing, travel and related expenses. Headcount growth drove the increase in allocated facility costs. The increases in headcount and other expense categories supported our growth strategy to acquire new clients, increase the number of agent seats within our existing client base and establish brand awareness.

General and administrative expenses increased $4.6 million, or 65%, for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to the year ended December 31, 2011, primarily due to increases in personnel costs of $2.3 million, fees for outside professional services of $1.5 million, merchant fees of $0.3 million, and equipment, facility, and hosted software costs of $0.3 million. The increase in personnel costs was primarily due to an increase in headcount as we built our management team to support our growth. Increases in outside professional fees were primarily related to legal and accounting costs, increases in merchant fees were driven by increased transaction volume, and increases in equipment, facility and software costs related to headcount and business growth.

Quarterly Trends

In general, our revenue has increased sequentially, primarily as a result of an increase in clients and, to a lesser extent, increases in the number of agent seats within existing clients. Our average client size has also grown during this period as we have developed our field sales team and improved our solution to target larger opportunities.

Gross margin improved progressively during 2013 resulting primarily from the reduction in costs of telecommunication services as a result of carrier changes and improved cost management systems and processes. Gross margin improvement for the fourth quarter was further driven by data center relocation projects completed in the third quarter.

Operating expenses are primarily driven by headcount and headcount-related expenses. Specifically, research and development expenses generally increased in absolute dollars quarter-over-quarter as we continued to hire additional personnel to update and enhance our solution. Sales and marketing expenses have increased

sequentially from quarter-to-quarter as we continued to expand our sales organization and increase our marketing efforts to support our overall business growth. In 2013, our sales and marketing costs increased as a percentage of revenue, primarily as a result of expanding our marketing organization and continuing to increase our field sales personnel. General and administrative expenses have increased sequentially from quarter-to-quarter due to increased headcount costs and increases in professional services, such as audit and legal fees.

Other expense, net has fluctuated quarter-to-quarter due to interest expense based on our outstanding debt and equipment financing lines, and based on changes in the fair value of our convertible preferred stock warrant liability, which fluctuates primarily based on the value of our convertible preferred stock and proximity to a liquidation event.

Our Dollar-Based Retention Rate has fluctuated as we increased the number of larger clients beginning in 2011, which caused our Dollar-Based Retention Rate to be higher in 2012 as these larger clients ramped up their agent seat subscriptions. Over time, as the number of larger clients within our client base has grown, our Dollar-Based Retention Rate has stabilized.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

To date, we have financed our operations primarily through sales of our solution, net proceeds from the issuance of our convertible preferred stock, lease facilities and, more recently, debt financing. As of December 31, 2012 and 2013, we had $6.0 million and $17.7 million, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents. Our cash equivalents were comprised of money market funds.

In April 2012, we received net proceeds of $11.9 million from the issuance of series C-2 convertible preferred stock, and in April 2013, we received net proceeds of $21.8 million from the issuance of series D-2 convertible preferred stock.

In March 2013, we entered into a loan and security agreement with a lender for a revolving line of credit for up to $12.5 million. The revolving line of credit bears monthly interest at a variable annual rate of prime plus 1.25%, and matures in March 2015. Interest is due and payable on the last business day of each month during the term of the loan, and all amounts outstanding under the revolving line of credit are due and payable in March 2015. In December 2013, we drew the full available amount of our revolving line of credit of $12.5 million, all of which remained outstanding as of December 31, 2013. In October 2013, this loan and security agreement was amended to provide for an additional $5.0 million term loan in connection with our acquisition of SoCoCare. Monthly interest-only payments are due on the term loan in equal monthly installments through September 2014, at which point principal and interest payments are due in equal monthly installments through the maturity of the term loan in March 2017. The term loan carries a variable annual interest rate of prime plus 1.50%. This loan and security agreement, as amended, contains certain covenants, including the requirement that we maintain $5.5 million of cash deposited with the lender for the term of the agreement. The loan and security agreement includes the occurrence of a material adverse effect, as defined in the agreement and determined by the lender, as an event of default.

In February 2014, we entered into a loan and security agreement with two lenders in a syndicate for a term loan of up to $30.0 million. At closing, we borrowed $19.6 million of the term loan net of $0.4 million in debt costs, with the remaining $10.0 million available to be borrowed until February 2015. The term loan bears interest at a variable per annum rate equal to the greater of 10% or LIBOR plus 9%. Interest is due and payable on the last business day of each month during the term of the loan. Monthly principal payments will be due beginning in February 2016 based on 1/60th of the outstanding balance at that time and continue until all remaining principal outstanding under the term loan are due and payable in February 2019. The loan and security agreement includes the occurrence of a material adverse event, as defined in the agreement and determined by the lender, as an event of default.

We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents, together with the $19.6 million we borrowed under our term loan, will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs over at least the next twelve months. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors including our growth rate, continuing market acceptance of our solution, client retention, ability to gain new clients, the timing and extent of spending to support development efforts, the expansion of sales and marketing activities and the introduction of new and enhanced offerings. We may in the future enter into arrangements to acquire or invest in complementary

businesses, technologies and intellectual property rights. We may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. In the event that additional financing is required, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired, our business, operating results, and financial condition would be harmed.

If we raise additional funds by issuing equity or equity-linked securities, the ownership of our existing stockholders will be diluted. If we raise additional funds by the incurrence of indebtedness, we will be subject to increased debt service obligations and could also be subject to restrictive covenants, such as limitations on our ability to incur additional debt, and other operating restrictions that could adversely impact our ability to conduct our business.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital on acceptable terms or at all, which would harm our ability to achieve our business objectives. In addition, if our operating performance during the next twelve months is below our expectations, our liquidity and ability to operate our business could be harmed.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Cash used in operating activities is significantly influenced by the amount of cash we invest in personnel and infrastructure to support the anticipated growth of our business and the amount and timing of customer payments. For the periods presented, we have continued to experience increases in investments in personnel and infrastructure that have exceeded the growth in our revenue and increased our net losses. As we continue to invest in personnel and infrastructure to support the anticipated growth of our business, we expect net uses of cash by operations to continue. Our largest source of operating cash inflows is cash collections from our customers for subscription and related usage services. Payments from customers for these services are typically received monthly. As of December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013 our day’s sales outstanding were 20, 24 and 25 days, respectively.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, we used $21.0 million in cash in operating activities due to a net loss of $31.3 million, and increases in accounts receivable of $1.6 million, and prepaid expenses and other current assets of $0.3 million, offset by non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization of $4.4 million, stock-based compensation of $1.9 million, change in fair value of convertible preferred stock warrant liability of $1.9 million, and cash positive changes in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $3.9 million. The increase in our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2013 was driven by a significant increase in investments in our infrastructure and personnel to support our current business growth.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, we used $8.3 million in cash in operating activities as a result of a net loss of $19.3 million, a $2.1 million increase in accounts receivable, and a $0.4 million increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets related to long-term maintenance contracts and annual subscription fees on third-party licensed technology. These decreases in cash were partially offset by non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization of $2.6 million, change in the fair value of our convertible preferred stock warrant liability of $1.7 million, and stock-based compensation of $0.5 million, as well as positive cash changes in deferred revenue of $1.4 million attributable to increased collections from clients, a net increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $6.6 million primarily related to increased headcount, operations growth and increases in federal fees and sales taxes due, and a $0.5 million increase in other liabilities, primarily resulting from deferred rent. The increase in our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2012 was driven by increases in

investment in our infrastructure and personnel in anticipation of future business growth. Accounts receivable increased primarily due to the overall growth of sales of our solution outpacing collections of existing receivables, and an increase in our day’s sales outstanding from 20 for the year ended December 31, 2011 to 24 for the year ended December 31, 2012.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, we used $0.7 million in cash in operating activities as a result of a net loss of $7.9 million, adjusted by non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization of $1.5 million, and stock-based compensation of $0.4 million. Working capital sources of cash were related to an increase of $6.2 million in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, primarily related to increased headcount, increases in telecommunication taxes due, and overall operations growth, and an increase of $1.1 million in deferred revenue, attributable to increased collections from clients. These sources of cash were partially offset by an increase of $1.9 million in accounts receivable due to the overall growth of our business. The increase in our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2012 was driven by increases in investment in our infrastructure and personnel in anticipation of future business growth. Accounts receivable increased due to the overall growth of sales of our solution outpacing collections of existing receivables.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

During the year ended December 31, 2013, cash used for investing activities was $1.0 million, due to $2.8 million of cash used in the acquisition of Face It, Corp. and in the purchase of property and equipment of $0.6 million, partially offset by the proceeds from the sale of certificates of deposit of $2.5 million.

During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012, we used $7.4 million and $1.6 million in cash for investing activities, respectively. We used $3.1 million and $2.7 million, respectively, of cash for capital expenditures, including investment in computer hardware and software for our data centers to support our growth. Additionally, in 2011 and 2012, we used $3.6 million and received $1.1 million, net, respectively, of cash for purchases and sales of short-term investments, composed primarily of twelve-month certificates of deposit.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

During the year ended December 31, 2013, cash provided by financing activities of $33.8 million was primarily attributable to our series D-2 convertible preferred stock issuance which provided $21.8 million in net proceeds, net proceeds from debt issuances of $17.5 million, and cash received from stock exercises of $0.7 million. This increase was partially offset by $5.4 million in repayments on our capital lease and notes payable obligations and $0.8 million paid in deferred offering costs.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, cash provided by financing activities of $10.5 million was primarily attributable to our issuance of series C-2 convertible preferred stock which provided $11.9 million in net proceeds and $1.4 million in proceeds from equipment financing related to reimbursements for purchased fixed assets. These amounts were partially offset by repayments on our capital lease and notes payable obligations of $2.9 million.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, cash provided by financing activities of $9.8 million was primarily attributable to our issuance of series B-2 convertible preferred stock which provided $7.9 million in net proceeds and $3.0 million in proceeds from equipment financing related to reimbursements for purchased fixed assets. These amounts were partially offset by $1.2 million in payments on our notes payable and capital lease obligations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We believe that of our significant accounting policies, which are described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements, the following accounting policies involve the greatest degree of judgment and complexity and have the greatest potential impact on our consolidated financial statements. A critical accounting policy is one that is material to the presentation of our consolidated financial statements and requires us to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments for uncertain matters that could have a material effect on our financial

condition and results of operations. Accordingly, these are the policies we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our financial condition and results of operations.

Revenue Recognition

Our revenue consists of subscription services and related usage as well as professional services. We charge clients monthly subscription fees for access to our solution. Monthly subscription fees are primarily based on the number of agent seats, as well as the specific VCC functionalities and applications deployed by the client. Agent seats are defined as the maximum number of named agents allowed to concurrently access the VCC cloud platform. Clients typically have more named agents than agent seats. Multiple named agents may use an agent seat, though not simultaneously. Substantially all of our clients purchase both subscriptions and related usage. A small percentage of our clients subscribe to our platform but purchase telephony usage directly from a wholesale telecommunications service provider. We do not sell telephony usage on a stand-alone basis to any client. The related usage fees are based on the volume of minutes used for inbound and outbound customer interactions. We also offer bundled plans, generally for smaller deployments whereby the client is charged a single monthly fixed fee per agent seat that includes both subscription and unlimited usage in the contiguous 48 states and, in some cases, Canada. Professional services revenue is derived primarily from implementations, including application configuration, system integration, optimization, education and training services. Clients are not permitted to take possession of our software.

We offer both annual and monthly contracts to clients, with 30 days’ notice required for changes in the number of agent seats. Our clients can use this notice period to rapidly adjust the number of agent seats used to meet their changing contact center volume needs, including to reduce the number of agent seats to zero. As a general matter, this means that a client can effectively terminate its agreement with us upon 30 days’ notice. Larger clients typically choose annual contracts, which generally include an implementation and ramp period of several months. Fixed subscription fees, including plans bundled with usage, are billed monthly in advance, while related usage fees are billed in arrears. Support activities include technical assistance and upgrades and enhancements to our solution on a when-and-if-available basis, which are not billed separately.

We generally require advance deposits from our clients based on estimated usage. Fees for usage are applied against the advance deposit resulting in continuous consumption and requiring frequent replenishment of the deposit. Any unused portion of the deposit is refundable to the client upon termination of the arrangement, provided all amounts due have been paid. All fees, except usage deposits, are non-refundable.

Professional services are primarily billed on a fixed-fee basis and are performed by us directly, or clients may also choose to perform these services themselves or engage their own third-party service providers.

Our sales arrangements generally involve multiple deliverables, including subscription services and related usage as well as professional services, all of which have standalone value to the client. We allocate arrangement consideration to these deliverables based on the relative standalone selling price method in accordance with the selling price hierarchy, which includes: (i) Vendor Specific Objective Evidence (“VSOE”) if available; (ii) Third Party Evidence (“TPE”) if VSOE is not available; and (iii) Best Estimate of Selling Price (“BESP”) if neither VSOE nor TPE is available.

VSOE.    We determine VSOE based on our historical pricing and discounting practices for the specific service when sold separately. In determining VSOE, we require that a substantial majority of the selling prices for these services fall within a reasonably narrow pricing range. We limit our assessment of VSOE for each element to either the price charged when the same element is sold separately or the price established by management, having the relevant authority to do so, for an element not yet sold separately. We have not met the criteria to establish selling prices based on VSOE.

TPE.    When VSOE cannot be established for deliverables in multiple element arrangements, we apply judgment with respect to whether we can establish a selling price based on TPE. TPE is determined based on competitor prices for similar deliverables when sold separately. Our services are significantly differentiated such that the comparable pricing of deliverables with similar functionality cannot be obtained. Furthermore, we are unable to reliably determine the standalone selling prices of similar deliverables sold by competitors. As a result, we have not met the criteria to establish selling prices based on TPE.

Table of Contents

BESP.    Since we are unable to establish a selling price using VSOE or TPE, we use BESP in our allocation of arrangement consideration. The objective of BESP is to determine the price at which we would transact a sale if the product or service were sold on a stand-alone basis. We determine BESP for deliverables by considering multiple factors including, but not limited to, prices we charge for similar offerings, market conditions, and competitive landscape. We limit the amount of allocable arrangement consideration to amounts that are fixed or determinable and that are not contingent on future performance or future deliverables.

We recognize revenue for each unit of accounting when all of the following criteria have been met:

 

    persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;

 

    delivery has occurred;

 

    the fee is fixed or determinable; and

 

    collection is reasonably assured.

Revenue allocated to the separate accounting units is recognized as follows:

 

    fixed subscription revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the applicable term, predominantly the monthly contractual billing period;

 

    variable usage-based revenue is recognized as actual usage occurs. Usage revenue in subscription arrangements that include bundled usage is recognized on a straight-line basis over the applicable term as we cannot reliably estimate client usage patterns; and

 

    professional services revenue is recognized as the services are performed using the proportional performance method, with performance measured based on labor hours, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria have been met.

At the time of each revenue transaction, we assesses whether fees under the arrangement are fixed or determinable and whether collection is reasonably assured. For arrangements where the fee is not fixed or determinable, we recognize revenue as these amounts become due and payable. We assess collection based on a number of factors, including past transaction history and the creditworthiness of the client. If we determine that collection of fees is not reasonably assured, we defer the revenue and recognize revenue at the time collection becomes reasonably assured, which is generally upon receipt of payment. We maintain a revenue reserve for potential credits to be issued in accordance with service level agreements or for other revenue adjustments. The revenue recognition standards include guidance relating to any tax assessed by a governmental authority that is directly imposed on a revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer which may include, but is not limited to, sales, use, value added and excise taxes. We record amounts billed to our clients for USF contributions and other regulatory costs on a gross basis in our consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss and record surcharges and sales, use and excise taxes billed to our clients on a net basis. The cost of gross USF contributions payable to USAC and suppliers is presented as a cost of revenue in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. Surcharges and sales, use and excise taxes incurred in excess of amounts billed to our clients are presented in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes using an asset and liability approach. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Operating loss and tax credit carryforwards are measured by applying currently enacted tax laws. Valuation allowances are provided when necessary to reduce net deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. As of December 31, 2012 and 2013, we provided a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets.

We recognize the tax effects of an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not to be sustained based solely on its technical merits as of the reporting date and only in an amount more likely than not to be sustained upon review by the tax authorities. We consider many factors when evaluating and estimating our tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments and which may not accurately reflect actual outcomes.

Table of Contents

As of December 31, 2013, we had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $68.4 million for federal income taxes and $35.8 million for state income taxes. If not utilized, these carryforwards will begin to expire in 2024 for federal purposes and 2014 for state purposes. As of December 31, 2013, we had research credit carryforwards of $1.0 million and $0.8 million for federal and state income taxes, respectively. If not utilized, these federal research carryforwards will begin to expire in 2024. The state tax credit can be carried forward indefinitely.

Internal Revenue Code Section 382 limits the use of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards in certain situations where changes occur in the stock ownership of a company. In the event that we have a change of ownership, utilization of the net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards may be restricted.

Stock-Based Compensation

Compensation expense related to stock-based transactions, including employee, consultant and non-employee director stock option awards, is measured and recognized in the financial statements based on fair value. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The stock-based compensation expense, net of forfeitures, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally four years.

Our option-pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of the price of our common stock, risk-free interest rates and the expected dividend yield of our common stock. The assumptions used in our option-pricing model represent management’s best estimates. These estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. If factors change and different assumptions are used, our stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.

These assumptions are estimated as follows:

 

    Fair Value of Common Stock.    Because our common stock is not publicly traded, we must estimate the fair value of common stock, as discussed in “—Common Stock Valuations” below;

 

    Risk-Free Interest Rate.    We base the risk-free interest rate on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equivalent to that of the options for each option group;

 

    Expected Term.    The expected term represents the period that our stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding. Since we did not have sufficient historical information to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise behavior, the expected term for options issued to employees was calculated as the average of the option vesting period and the options’ contractual term. The expected term for options issued to non-employees is the contractual term;

 

    Volatility.    We determine the price volatility factor based on the historical volatilities of our peer group as we do not have a trading history for our common stock. To determine our peer group of companies, we consider public enterprise cloud-based application providers and select those that are similar to us in size, stage of life cycle, and financial leverage. For each period, a similar peer group of publicly traded companies was used to determine expected volatility and to determine the fair value of our common stock. We did not rely on implied volatilities of traded options in our industry peers’ common stock because the volume of activity was relatively low. We intend to continue to consistently apply this process using the same or similar public companies until a sufficient amount of historical information regarding the volatility of our own common stock share price becomes available, or unless circumstances change such that the identified companies are no longer similar to us, in which case, more suitable companies whose share prices are publicly available would be utilized in the calculation; and

 

    Dividend Yield.    We have not paid and do not expect to pay dividends.

In addition to assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, we must also estimate a forfeiture rate to calculate the stock-based compensation for our option awards. Our forfeiture rate is based on an analysis of our actual forfeitures. We will continue to evaluate the appropriateness of the forfeiture rate based on actual forfeiture experience, analysis of employee turnover and other factors. Changes in the estimated forfeiture rate can have a significant impact on our stock-based compensation expense as the cumulative effect of adjusting the rate is recognized in the period the forfeiture estimate is changed. If a revised forfeiture rate is higher than the

 

62


Table of Contents

previously estimated forfeiture rate, an adjustment is made that will result in a decrease to the stock-based compensation expense recognized in the financial statements. If a revised forfeiture rate is lower than the previously estimated forfeiture rate, an adjustment is made that will result in an increase to the stock-based compensation expense recognized in the financial statements.

We will continue to use judgment in evaluating the assumptions related to our stock-based compensation on a prospective basis. As we continue to accumulate additional data related to our common stock, we may refine our estimates, which could materially impact our future stock-based compensation expense.

For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, we used the following assumptions in our Black-Scholes option-pricing model computation to determine fair values of option grants and related compensation expense for employees and non-employees:

 

     Year Ended December 31,
     2011    2012    2013
                

Expected term — employees (years)

   6.1    5.0 to 6.1    5.0 to 6.1

Contractual life — non-employees (years)

   10.0    10.0    10.0

Volatility

   66%    59% to 60%    59% to 60%

Risk-free interest rate

   1.2% to 2.5%    0.7% to 1.7%    1.0% to 3.0%

Dividend yield

        

Stock-based non-employee compensation is recognized over the vesting periods of the options. The value of options granted to non-employees is periodically re-measured as they vest over a performance period.

Our stock-based compensation expense was as follows (in thousands):

Common Stock Valuations

We are required to estimate the fair value of the common stock underlying our stock option awards when performing the fair value calculations with the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of the common stock underlying our stock option awards was determined by our board of directors, with input from management and review of third-party valuations. We believe that our board of directors has the relevant experience and expertise to determine the fair value of our common stock. As described below, the exercise price of our stock option awards was determined by our board of directors based on the most recent valuation as of the grant date. As shown below, the valuations of common stock were determined in accordance with the guidance provided by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Practice Aid, Valuation of Privately-Held-Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation. The assumptions that we used in these valuation models are based on future expectations combined with management judgment. In the absence of a public trading market, our board of directors, with input from management, exercised significant judgment and considered numerous objective and subjective factors to determine the fair value of our common stock for financial reporting purposes as of the grant date of each stock option award, including the following factors:

 

    valuations of our common stock performed by unrelated third parties;

 

    the nature of our services and our competitive position in the marketplace;

 

63


Table of Contents
    the prices, rights, preferences and privileges of our convertible preferred stock relative to our common stock;

 

    the prices of our convertible preferred stock and common stock sold to outside investors in arms-length transactions;

 

    our results of operations, financial condition and future financial projections;

 

    current business conditions and projections;

 

    the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event for the shares of common stock underlying these stock options, such as an initial public offering or sale of our company, given prevailing market conditions;

 

    the value of companies that we consider peers based on a number of factors, including similarity to us with respect to industry and business model; and

 

    the lack of marketability for our common stock.

The dates of our valuations were contemporaneous with the grant dates of our stock option awards. There were significant judgments and estimates inherent in these valuations, which included assumptions regarding our future operating performance, the time to completing an initial public offering or other liquidity event, and the determinations of the appropriate valuation methods to be applied. If we had made different estimates or assumptions, our stock-based compensation expense, net loss and net loss per common share could have been significantly different from those reported in this prospectus.

In valuing our common stock, our board of directors determined the equity value of our business generally using a weighting of the market comparable approach (and within the market-comparable approach, at certain times, the merger and acquisition, or M&A, transaction method) and the income approach valuation methods. When applicable due to a recent convertible preferred stock offering, the prior sale of company stock method was also utilized.

The market comparable approach estimates value based on a comparison of the company to comparable firms in similar lines of business that are publicly traded. Based both on trading multiples and acquisitions of the comparable companies, a representative market value multiple is determined which is applied to the subject company’s operating results to estimate the value of the subject company. The estimated value is then discounted by a non-marketability factor due to the fact that stockholders of private companies do not have access to trading markets similar to those used by stockholders of public companies, which impacts liquidity. We review the comparable companies with each valuation to ensure that the companies continue to best reflect our industry and business model. We also review the M&A transactions examined to ensure that the transactions best reflect recent comparable transactions.

In our valuations, we selected our comparable publicly-traded companies by analyzing various factors, including, but not limited to, industry similarity, financial risk and company size. We focused on companies that either compete in the contact center software industry or deliver services using a SaaS business model, are generally growing at levels similar to us (greater than 15% revenue growth), and have last-twelve months revenue below $500 million. While a number of the comparable companies used are larger than us in terms of total revenue and assets, several of the companies, like us, are in the investment and growth stage and have experienced operating losses while growing their businesses. While no two companies are perfectly comparable, we believe that the companies we have selected are a representative group for purposes of performing valuations.

We used the same comparable companies for the October 16, 2012, January 16, 2013, July 15, 2013, October 15, 2013, December 11, 2013 and January 28, 2014 valuations, except that we did not use one company for the July 15, 2013, October 15, 2013, December 11, 2013 and January 28, 2014 valuations that we had used in the October 16, 2012 and January 16, 2013 valuations because this company had been acquired and was no longer a stand-alone, public company. Starting with the October 15, 2013 valuation, we added one company in the SaaS industry that had recently completed its initial public offering. The newly added company provided additional publicly available financial data from which valuation multiples could be derived.

We used an average of the last twelve-month and forward twelve-month revenue multiples from our comparable publicly-traded companies and applied these multiples to our latest twelve-month revenue and our forward twelve-month revenue projections as of the valuation date to arrive at an estimate of our enterprise value.

We deemed multiples of revenue to be the most relevant metric as we are still in a growth phase. Since we have not generated positive historical profit, profit-based multiples are not relevant for us.

The M&A transaction method estimates fair value based on exchange prices in actual transactions and on asking prices for controlling interests in companies offered for sale in the private market. The process involves comparison and correlation of the subject company with other similar companies. Adjustments for differences in various factors, including, but not limited to, size, growth, profitability, risk, and return on investment, are also considered. In selecting transactions, we reviewed transactions involving acquired companies in the software industry, specifically software companies with SaaS business models, and selected the median of the last twelve months revenue multiples and applied this multiple to our last twelve months of revenue to estimate our enterprise value. We used the M&A transaction method for option grants in and prior to January 2013. We stopped using the M&A transaction method in 2013 given the greater likelihood that we would complete an initial public offering rather than an M&A exit event.

We began incorporating the income approach in our weighting for stock option grants made in 2013 as our ability to forecast became more consistent. The income approach is an estimate of the present value of the future monetary benefits generated by an investment in an asset. Specifically, debt free cash flows and the estimated terminal value are discounted at an appropriate risk-adjusted discount rate to estimate the total invested capital value of the entity. In addition, we also considered an appropriate discount adjustment to recognize the lack of marketability due to being a privately-held entity.

In instances where we had a recent convertible preferred stock offering, as was the case for our convertible preferred stock series D-2 issuance in April 2013, we used this as an arms-length market transaction to derive our enterprise value for our April 2013 valuation.

For grants made in or prior to January 2013, our indicated business enterprise value at each valuation date was allocated to the shares of convertible preferred stock, common stock, warrants and options using an option pricing method, or OPM. An OPM treats common stock and convertible preferred stock as call options on a business, with exercise prices based on the liquidation preference of the convertible preferred stock. The common stock has value only if the funds available for distribution to the stockholders exceed the value of the combined liquidation preference for all preferred stock at the time of a liquidity event, such as a merger, sale or IPO. Therefore, common stock is modeled as a call option with a claim on the total equity value at an exercise price equal to the preferred stock’s liquidation preference. The OPM uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to price the call option. For options granted after January 2013, we used hybrid methods. The change to a hybrid method was made because it was deemed a more appropriate method when the time to our potential IPO was expected to be short. Under the hybrid method, multiple valuation approaches were used and then combined into a single probability weighted valuation. Our approaches included the use of an IPO scenario, a scenario assuming continued operation as a private entity, and a scenario assuming an acquisition of the company.

The following discussion relates primarily to our determination of the fair value per share of our common stock for purposes of calculating stock-based compensation expense since October 2012. No single event caused the valuation of our common stock to increase or decrease through February 2014. Instead, a combination of the factors described below in each period led to the changes in the fair value of our common stock.

Significant factors considered by our board of directors in determining the fair value of our common stock for each of the grant dates set forth above include:

October 2012

Our board of directors set an exercise price of $1.03 per share for option awards granted in October 2012 based in part on a contemporaneous third-party valuation prepared as of October 16, 2012. The valuation took into account that our revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 grew 54% from the same period in the previous year. The valuation used an equal weighting of the market comparable and M&A transactional approaches to determine our enterprise value. The OPM was used to estimate the common stock fair value, with an 18-month estimate to a liquidity event and a non-marketability discount of 15%. Based on these considerations, our board of directors concluded that the fair value of common stock for financial reporting purposes was $1.03 per share for stock option awards granted in October 2012.

January 2013

Our board of directors set an exercise price of $1.21 per share for option awards granted in January 2013 based in part on a contemporaneous third-party valuation prepared as of January 16, 2013. The valuation took into account that our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2012 grew 48% from the previous year. The valuation used a weighting of 40%, 40%, and 20% for the market comparable, income, and M&A transactional approaches, respectively, to determine our enterprise value. The discount rate applied to our cash flows was 15%. The OPM was used to estimate the common stock fair value, with a 10-month estimate to a liquidity event and a non-marketability discount of 7%. Based on these considerations, our board of directors concluded that the fair value of common stock for financial reporting purposes was $1.21 per share for stock option awards granted in January 2013.

May 2013

Our board of directors set an exercise price of $1.19 per share for option awards granted in May 2013 based in part on a contemporaneous third-party valuation prepared as of April 15, 2013. The valuation took into account that

our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2013 grew 33% from the same period in the previous year, as well as our continued steps towards an initial public offering, including our plans to file a registration statement towards the end of 2013. The valuation used our recent series D-2 preferred round of financing, which occurred in April 2013 at a price per share of $1.44, to estimate our enterprise value. The OPM was used to estimate the common stock fair value, assuming a 10-month period to a liquidity event. The final valuation blended the output of the OPM allocation and an IPO scenario that assumed all shares of preferred stock are converted to shares of common stock and a non-marketability discount of 8%. Based on these considerations, our board of directors concluded that the fair value of common stock for financial reporting purposes was $1.19 per share for stock option awards granted in May 2013.

August 2013

Our board of directors set an exercise price of $1.67 per share for option awards granted in August 2013 based in part on a contemporaneous third-party valuation prepared as of July 15, 2013. The valuation took into account that our revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2013 grew 34% from the same period in the previous year, as well as our continued steps towards an initial public offering, including our plans to file a registration statement towards the end of 2013. The valuation used an equal weighting of the market comparable and income approaches to determine our enterprise value. The discount rate applied to our cash flows was 15%. The OPM was used to estimate the common stock fair value, assuming an 8-month period to a liquidity event. The final valuation blended the output of the OPM allocation and an IPO scenario that assumed all shares of preferred stock are converted to shares of common stock and a non-marketability discount of 8%. Based on these considerations, our board of directors concluded that the fair value of common stock for financial reporting purposes was $1.67 per share for stock option awards granted in August 2013.

October 2013

Our board of directors set an exercise price of $2.12 per share for option awards granted in October 2013 based in part on a contemporaneous third-party valuation prepared as of October 15, 2013. The valuation took into account that our revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 grew 33% from the same period in the previous year, as well as our continued steps towards an initial public offering, including our plans to submit a registration statement towards the end of 2013. The valuation used a 45% weighting of both the market comparable and income approaches and a 10% weighting of the IPO method to determine our enterprise value. The discount rate applied to our cash flows was 15%. The hybrid method was used to estimate the common stock fair value, assuming a 6-month period to a liquidity event and a non-marketability discount of 5%. Based on these considerations, our board of directors concluded that the fair value of common stock for financial reporting purposes was $2.12 per share for stock option awards granted in October 2013.

November 2013

Our board of directors set an exercise price of $2.37 per share for option awards granted in November 2013 based in part on a contemporaneous third-party valuation prepared as of November 18, 2013. The valuation took into account that our revenue for the ten months ended October 31, 2013 grew 31% from the same period in the previous year, as well as our continued steps towards an initial public offering, including our plans to submit a registration statement in early December 2013. The valuation used a 37.5% weighting of both the market comparable and income approaches and a 25% weighting of the IPO method to determine our enterprise value. The discount rate applied to our cash flows was 15%. The hybrid method was used to estimate the common stock fair value, assuming a 6-month period to a liquidity event and a non-marketability discount of 5%. Based on these considerations, our board of directors concluded that the fair value of common stock for financial reporting purposes was $2.37 per share for stock option awards granted in November 2013.

December 2013

Our board of directors set an exercise price of $2.53 per share for option awards granted in December 2013 based in part on a contemporaneous third-party valuation prepared as of December 11, 2013. The valuation took into account that our revenue for the eleven months ended November 30, 2013 grew 33% from the same period

in the previous year, as well as our continued steps towards an initial public offering, including our submission of a registration statement in early December 2013. The valuation used a 32.5% weighting of both the market comparable and income approaches and a 35% weighting of the IPO method to determine our enterprise value. The discount rate applied to our cash flows was 15%. The hybrid method was used to estimate the common stock fair value, assuming a 6-month period to a liquidity event and a non-marketability discount of 5%. Based on these considerations, our board of directors concluded that the fair value of common stock for financial reporting purposes was $2.53 per share for stock option awards granted in December 2013.

February 2014

Our board of directors set an exercise price of $2.98 per share for option awards granted in February 2014 based in part on a contemporaneous third-party valuation prepared as of January 28, 2014. The valuation took into account that our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2013 grew 32% from the previous year, as well as our continued steps towards an initial public offering, including our submission of a registration statement in early December 2013. The valuation used a 25% weighting of both the market comparable and income approaches and a 50% weighting of the IPO method to determine our enterprise value. The discount rate applied to our cash flows was 15%. The hybrid method was used to estimate the common stock fair value, assuming a 2-month period to a liquidity event and a non-marketability discount of 4%. Based on these considerations, our board of directors concluded that the fair value of common stock for financial reporting purposes was $2.98 per share for stock option awards granted in February 2014.

(1)  Operating lease obligations represent our obligations to make payments under the lease agreements for our facilities and office equipment leases. In January 2014, we modified our corporate office lease to expand its existing space for an additional commitment of $615,000 over the term of the original lease.

 

(2)  Capital lease obligations represent financing on computer equipment and software purchases.

 

(3)  Revolving line of credit obligations represent an outstanding line of credit with a lender.

 

(4) 

Notes payable represent (1) a term loan with a lender, (2) a note with a governmental agency and (3) an equipment loan with a lender. In February 2014, we entered into a loan and security agreement for a term loan

of up to $30.0 million. At closing, we borrowed $19.6 million of the term loan net of $0.4 million in debt costs, with the remaining $10.0 million available to be borrowed until February 2015.

 

(5)  Telecommunication usage represents guaranteed minimum payments for telecommunication services.

 

(6)  Hosting services represent rental agreements for colocation facilities.

The contractual commitment amounts in the table above are associated with agreements that are enforceable and legally binding. Obligations under contracts that we can cancel without a significant penalty are not included in the table above.

Loan and Security Agreement

In February 2014, we entered into a loan and security agreement with two lenders in a syndicate for a term loan of up to $30.0 million. At closing, we borrowed $19.6 million of the term loan net of $0.4 million in debt costs, with the remaining $10.0 million available to be borrowed until February 2015. The term loan bears interest at a variable per annum rate equal to the greater of 10% or LIBOR plus 9%. Interest is due and payable on the last business day of each month during the term of the loan and monthly principal payments will be due beginning in February 2016 based on 1/60th of the outstanding balance at that time and continue until all remaining principal outstanding under the term loan are due and payable in February 2019.

Indemnification Agreements

In the ordinary course of business, we enter into agreements of varying scope and terms pursuant to which we agree to indemnify clients, vendors, lessors, business partners and other parties with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of breach of such agreements, services to be provided by us or from intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with directors and certain officers and employees that will require us, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors, officers or employees. No demands have been made upon us to provide indemnification under such agreements and there are no claims that we are aware of that could have a material effect on our consolidated balance sheet, consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss, or consolidated statements of cash flows.

Operating Leases

We lease office space, including our corporate headquarters in San Ramon, California, and third-party data centers, under operating lease agreements that expire through February 2018. The terms of the lease agreements provide for rental payments on a graduated basis. We recognize rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease periods.

Contingencies — Legal and Regulatory

We are subject to certain legal and regulatory proceedings described below, and from time to time may be involved in a variety of claims, lawsuits, investigations, and proceedings relating to contractual disputes, intellectual property rights, employment matters, regulatory compliance matters, and other litigation matters relating to various claims that arise in the normal course of business. We determine whether an estimated loss from a contingency should be accrued by assessing whether a loss is deemed probable and can be reasonably estimated. We assess our potential liability by analyzing specific litigation and regulatory matters using reasonably available information. We develop our views on estimated losses in consultation with inside and outside counsel, which involves a subjective analysis of potential results and outcomes, assuming various combinations of appropriate litigation and settlement strategies. Legal fees are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

Universal Services Fund Liability

During the third quarter of 2012, we determined that based on our business activities, we are classified as a telecommunications service provider for regulatory purposes and we are required to make direct contributions to the USF based on revenue we receive from the resale of interstate and international telecommunications services. Previously, we had been advised that our telecommunications services were an integral part of an information service and accordingly made indirect USF contributions as an end user through payments to our wholesale

Table of Contents

telecommunications service providers. In order to comply with the obligation to make direct contributions, in November 2012, we made a voluntary self-disclosure to the FCC Enforcement Bureau and have registered with USAC, which is charged by the FCC with administering the USF. We have filed exemption certificates with our wholesale telecommunications service providers in order to eliminate their obligation to pay USF contributions calculated on services sold to us, and our obligation to reimburse them for such contributions. We have accrued for past due contributions dating back to 2003 and, in April 2013, began remitting required contributions on a prospective basis directly to USAC.

Our registration with USAC subjects us to assessments for unpaid USF contributions, as well as interest and penalties thereon, due to our late registration and reporting of revenue. We are required to pay assessments for periods prior to our registration. While we are in discussions with the FCC to limit such back assessments to the period 2008 through 2012, it is possible that we will be required to pay back assessments for the period from 2003 to 2007. We are also in discussions with the FCC to obtain credit for the indirect USF payments we have made since 2003 to our wholesale telecommunications service providers. If we are unsuccessful in obtaining credit from the FCC for these payments, we will seek reimbursement from our wholesale telecommunications service providers. We will face a regulatory and contractual challenge in seeking recovery or credit for our USF reimbursement payments previously made to our wholesale telecommunications service providers of up to $3.1 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2013. Finally, we are exposed to the potential assessment by the FCC of monetary penalties (or forfeitures) due to our past failure to recognize our obligation as a USF contributor. In lieu of the actual assessment of monetary forfeitures, due to our current voluntary disclosure proceeding with the FCC, we may be asked to make a voluntary contribution to the U.S. Treasury in order to resolve the FCC’s investigation amicably. We believe we may be able to reduce such penalties as a result of our voluntary self-disclosure.

In July 2013, we and USAC agreed to a financing arrangement for the undisputed portion of the unpaid USF contributions and related interest for the periods 2008 through 2012 whereby we issued to USAC a promissory note for $4.1 million. The promissory note is repayable in 42 equal monthly installments with a fixed annual interest rate of 12.75%. As of December 31, 2013, the balance of the promissory note payable was $3.7 million, which is included in the notes payable amounts on the consolidated balance sheets. In addition to the promissory note payable, we had an accrued liability for USF contributions and related interest and penalties of $8.1 million and $4.2 million included in accrued federal fees on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively, of which $0.8 million pertains to periods prior to 2008. For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, we incurred expenses of $2.0 million, $3.2 million, and $3.9 million, respectively, which was recorded as a charge to cost of revenue. No amounts related to the potential recovery or credit of USF contributions paid by us to our wholesale telecommunications service providers have been recognized in the consolidated financial statements.

Taxes and Surcharges on Usage

The applicability of state and local taxes, fees or surcharges relative to services such as ours is complex, ambiguous and subject to interpretation and change. During 2013, we analyzed our activities and determined that we may be obligated to collect and remit sales, excise and utility user taxes, as well as surcharges as a communications service provider, and pay gross receipts taxes, on our usage-based fees in certain states and municipalities. We have neither collected nor remitted state and local taxes or surcharges on usage-based fees in any of the periods presented.

Based on our ongoing assessment, we will register for tax and regulatory purposes in states where we determine such regulations apply to our activities and commence collecting and remitting state and local taxes and surcharges on applicable usage-based fees. We have accrued a contingent liability for our best estimate of the probable amount of taxes and surcharges that may be imposed by various states and municipalities on our activities prior to registration. This contingent liability is based on our analysis of a number of factors, including the source location of our usage-based fees and the rules and regulations in each state. The actual amount of state and local taxes and surcharges paid may differ from our estimates. As of December 31, 2012 and 2013, we had an accrued sales tax liability related to our contingency for state and local taxes on usage-based fees of $3.2 million and $5.4 million, respectively.

NobelBiz Litigation

In April 2012, NobelBiz, Inc., or NobelBiz, filed a complaint against us in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Case No. 6:12-cv-00243-LED, alleging infringement of U.S. Patent No. 8,135,122, and seeking a permanent injunction, damages and attorneys’ fees should judgment be found against us. Subsequently, NobelBiz amended its complaint to add claims related to U.S. Patent No. 8,565,399, which is a continuation in the same family as the prior patent and addresses the same technology. This complaint is one of six complaints currently known to have been brought by NobelBiz regarding the same patent. On March 28, 2013, the court granted our motion to transfer the case to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. We intend to vigorously defend ourselves against NobelBiz’s claims to the extent necessary. The result of this litigation is inherently uncertain. Please see “Business—Legal Proceedings.”

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk in the ordinary course of our business. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily a result of fluctuations in interest rates, and to a lesser extent, foreign currency exchange rates. We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

We had cash and cash equivalents of $17.7 million as of December 31, 2013. We hold our cash and cash equivalents for working capital purposes. Our cash and cash equivalents are held in cash and short-term money market funds. Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, we believe that we do not have any material exposure to changes in the fair value of our investment portfolio as a result of changes in interest rates. Declines in interest rates, however, would reduce future interest income. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the effect of a hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in overall interest rates would not have had a material impact on our interest income. As of December 31, 2013, we had a term loan outstanding, which bears interest at a variable annual rate that is equal to the prime rate (3.25% as of December 31, 2013) plus 1.50%. A hypothetical 10% increase would have had a $0.1 million impact on our interest expense.

Foreign Currency Risk

Our functional currency of our foreign subsidiaries is generally the local currency. All of our sales are denominated in U.S. dollars, and therefore our net revenue is not currently subject to foreign currency risk. Our operating expenses are denominated in the currencies of the countries in which our operations are located, which are primarily in the U.S., the Philippines, and Russia. Our consolidated results of operations and cash flows are, therefore, subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and may be adversely affected in the future due to changes in foreign exchange rates. To date, we have not entered into any hedging arrangements with respect to foreign currency risk or other derivative financial instruments. During the year ended December 31, 2012 and the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the effect of a hypothetical 10% change in foreign currency exchange rates applicable to our business would not have had a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued an accounting standards update on foreign currency matters that provides additional guidance with respect to the reclassification into income of the cumulative translation adjustment, or CTA, recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income associated with a parent company’s ownership interest in a foreign entity. The standard differentiates between transactions occurring within a foreign entity and transactions affecting an investment in a foreign entity. For transactions within a foreign entity, the full CTA associated with the foreign entity would be reclassified into income only when the sale of a subsidiary or group of net assets within the foreign entity represents the substantially complete liquidation of that foreign entity. For transactions affecting an investment in a foreign entity, the full CTA associated with the foreign entity would be reclassified into income only if the parent no longer has a controlling

interest in that foreign entity as a result of the transaction. In addition, acquisitions of a foreign entity completed in stages will trigger release of the CTA associated with an equity method investment in that entity at the point a controlling interest in the foreign entity is obtained. We are required to adopt this standard for our interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013. This standard would impact our consolidated financial condition or results of operations only in the instance a transaction described above occurs.

In July 2013, the FASB issued an accounting standards update on presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward exists. The standard requires that unrecognized tax benefits should be presented as a reduction to deferred tax assets for net operating loss carry forwards, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carry forward, or collectively, a carryforward, if such carryforward is required or expected to settle the additional income taxes in the event the uncertain tax position is disallowed. The standard also requires in situations that a carryforward cannot be used or the deferred tax asset is not intended to be used for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be recorded as a liability and should not offset deferred tax assets. We are required to adopt this standard for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance, but do not expect it to have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Since our inception, we have exclusively focused on delivering our platform in the cloud and are disrupting a significantly large market by replacing legacy on-premise contact center systems. Contact centers are vital hubs of interaction between organizations and their customers and, therefore, are essential to delivering successful customer service, sales and marketing strategies. Our mission is to empower organizations to transform their contact centers into customer engagement centers of excellence, while improving business agility and significantly lowering the cost and complexity of their contact center operations. Our purpose-built, highly scalable and secure Virtual Contact Center, or VCC, cloud platform delivers a comprehensive suite of easy-to-use applications that enable the breadth of contact center-related customer service, sales and marketing functions. We have become an established leader in the cloud contact center market, facilitating over three billion interactions between our more than 2,000 clients and their customers per year. We believe our ability to combine software and telephony into a single unified platform that is delivered in the cloud creates a significant barrier to entry.

Based on our current product offering and historical average annual recurring revenue per seat, we believe that the market for our solution is approximately $22 billion annually worldwide. Gartner estimates that there were 14.5 million contact center agents worldwide in 2012 and forecasts that cloud penetration of the contact center market in North America will more than double from 5% of total contact center agents in 2012 to 13% in 2016. We believe adoption of cloud contact center software solutions is increasing rapidly as a result of several distinct trends. The increasing adoption of cloud computing, especially within CRM, is creating strong demand for integrated cloud contact center software solutions. In addition, cloud contact center software solutions now offer the functionality required by large, complex enterprise contact centers. Furthermore, we believe organizations typically refresh their contact center systems every 8-10 years, which provides an opportunity for cloud solutions to replace legacy on-premise contact center systems when these replacement decisions arise.

Cloud contact center software solutions are replacing legacy on-premise contact center systems. On-premise systems require large up-front investments, long deployment cycles and are burdensome to maintain. These systems are also often inflexible, complex, and require significant duplication of effort and integration across multiple sites. This creates substantial challenges for clients with on-premise contact center systems to implement new features or upgrades, or to integrate with adjacent cloud solutions.

Our solution, which is comprised of our VCC cloud platform and applications, allows simultaneous management and optimization of customer interactions across voice, chat, email, web, social media and mobile channels, either directly or through our application programming interface. Our VCC cloud platform matches each customer interaction with an appropriate agent resource and delivers relevant customer data to the agent in real-time through integrations with adjacent enterprise applications, such as CRM software, to optimize the customer experience and improve agent productivity. Our solution ensures our clients always have the latest version of our software. Delivered on-demand, our solution enables our clients to quickly deploy agent seats in any geographic location with only a computer, headset and broadband internet connection, and rapidly adjust the number of contact center agent seats in response to changing business requirements. Unlike legacy on-premise contact center systems, our solution requires minimal up-front investment, can be rapidly deployed and is maintained by us in the cloud.

Our sales model consists of a field sales team that sells our solution into larger opportunities and a telesales team that sells our solution into smaller opportunities. We have developed a proven, high velocity, metrics-driven sales and marketing strategy, which is designed to effectively identify, qualify and close sales opportunities. To complement this go-to-market strategy, we have developed a large ecosystem of technology and system integrator partners to help increase awareness of our solution in the market and drive incremental sales opportunities with new and existing clients.

We provide our solution through a SaaS business model with recurring subscriptions based primarily on the number of agent seats and minutes of usage of solution, as well as the specific functionalities and applications our clients deploy. Our recurring revenue model combined with our Dollar-Based Retention Rates, which have averaged approximately 100% since 2011, have enhanced our ability to forecast our financial performance and plan future investments.

Industry Overview

Contact centers must evolve in today’s rapidly changing technology environment

Contact centers are vital hubs of interaction between organizations and their customers and are mission critical to the successful execution of customer service, sales and marketing strategies. Both consumer and enterprise technology trends are driving an evolution in contact center strategies. Today, customers increasingly expect seamless communications across multiple channels, including voice, chat, email, web, social media and mobile, thereby increasing the number of touch points between organizations and their customers. Along with these additional channels, customers expect personalized interactions to enhance overall customer service. Delivering customer interactions to an appropriate agent resource while delivering relevant customer data to the agent in real-time is crucial in providing effective customer service.

As the needs of organizations and their customers have become more sophisticated, so have the demands for contact centers. Striving for greater efficiency in meeting demand, the use of remote agents and geographically dispersed contact centers has proliferated. To increase capacity and undertake upgrades, on-premise contact centers must unify geographically dispersed agents and hardware, which requires building out teams and facilities to forecasted future capacity and is a long-term undertaking. In order to meet these changing demands, contact centers must upgrade their existing on-premise contact center systems or migrate their contact center operations to the cloud.

Legacy on-premise contact center systems are inefficient

The majority of contact center operations today rely on legacy on-premise contact center systems that include business workflows, as well as hardware and software architectures designed more than a decade ago. Legacy on-premise contact center systems are typically developed for location-specific deployments and are often costly, inflexible, complex and require significant duplication of effort and integration across multiple sites. Key shortcomings of these legacy systems include:

 

    Long and complex implementation and upgrade cycles.    Implementation of legacy on-premise contact center systems requires long deployment timelines and complex integrations with other enterprise systems. Once these systems have been deployed, integrated and customized, upgrades and modifications can be extremely challenging. Due to these customized solutions and complex integrations, clients will often forego or postpone upgrades for fear of disabling key functionality. If they do choose to upgrade, clients are often required to rebuild integrations in order to retain full functionality, which frequently result in significant expenditures of time, resources and capital.

 

    Inflexible resource deployment.    As organizations expand globally, they require the ability to easily manage remote agents and quickly adjust agent seats to accommodate peak call volumes. Most legacy on-premise contact center systems do not provide these capabilities and, as a result, their clients are typically unable to quickly scale their contact center operations in response to changing business needs. This often results in costly over-building of additional capacity to accommodate peak volumes.

 

    Duplicative technology stacks across multiple sites.    Organizations must integrate multiple contact center sites to drive efficiency and create a unified customer view. Organizations running on-premise systems often find themselves with dissimilar systems at each site resulting in non-integrated and inefficient siloes of technology. Moreover, technology at each site is in a constant state of change over time. The initial and ongoing integration of these contact center sites for such organizations requires significant ongoing investment.

Our Opportunity

Based on our current product offerings and historical average annual recurring revenue per seat, we believe that the market for our solution is approximately $22 billion annually worldwide. Gartner estimates that there were 14.5 million contact center agents worldwide in 2012 and forecasts that the cloud penetration of the contact center market in North America will more than double from 5% of total contact center agents in 2012 to 13% in 2016. We believe the market for contact center solutions is undergoing a significant shift to the cloud driven primarily by:

 

    Adoption of cloud CRM solutions

 

    Sophistication of cloud contact center software solutions

 

    Technology refresh of on-premise contact center systems

Adoption of cloud CRM solutions has grown as organizations seek to enhance their sales strategies, increase business agility and reduce costs. CRM solutions typically integrate deeply with contact center solutions to provide agents with real-time access to customer information. The shift to cloud CRM and ease of integration are creating significant demand for integrated cloud contact center software solutions. As the market opportunity has expanded, cloud contact center software solutions have evolved to meet the requirements of large, complex enterprise contact centers. We believe organizations have typically refreshed their on-premise contact center systems every 8-10 years. Given the prevalence of cloud CRM and the capabilities of cloud-based contact centers, cloud solutions are increasingly considered as a replacement alternative to legacy on-premise contact center systems during these refresh decisions.

We believe there is a substantial opportunity for us to win new clients and increase our market share given the strength and client benefits of our cloud solution. We intend to continue to invest aggressively in our sales force and marketing capabilities to win new clients.

 

    Continue to increase sales in our existing client base.    Many of our clients deploy our solution to support only a portion of their contact center agents initially. We intend to increase the number of agents using our solution within our existing clients as they experience the benefits of our cloud solution. We also intend to sell our existing clients incremental applications to increase our revenue and the value of our existing client relationships.

 

    Maintain our innovation leadership by strengthening and extending our solution.    We have an innovative platform that has enabled us to establish a leadership position in the cloud contact center software market.

    Expand internationally.    To date, our focus has been on the U.S. market, which represented 90% of our revenue in the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2013, based on bill to address. We believe there is a significant opportunity for our cloud solution to disrupt incumbent legacy on-premise contact center systems internationally. We plan to increase our sales capabilities internationally by expanding our direct sales force and collaborating with strategic partners worldwide to target these markets and grow our international client base.

 

    Further develop our partner ecosystem.    We have established strong partner relationships with organizations in the contact center ecosystem to further enhance the value of our VCC cloud platform. We intend to continue to cultivate new relationships with additional software, technology, system integrator and telephony providers to enhance the value of our solution and drive sales.

 

    Selectively pursue acquisitions.    In addition to organically developing and strengthening our solution, we intend to actively and selectively explore acquisition opportunities of companies and technologies to expand the functionality of our solution, provide access to new clients or markets, or both. For example, we recently acquired SoCoCare in order to establish our social media capabilities and strengthen our market leadership.

LOGO

Inbound Contact Center:    With our VCC cloud platform, inbound contact centers of all sizes have everything they need to run a successful contact center, including the ability to take calls, respond to chat and email interactions, and engage with a wide range of social media sources. Our platform includes a full-featured IVR system that allows our clients to automatically answer calls and identify an appropriate agent resource to resolve the customer issue. At the center of our VCC cloud platform is the ACD, which provides intelligent routing of customer and prospect interactions. This provides our clients with the flexibility to prioritize customer interactions to maximize business results and ensure customer treatment is aligned with their customer service and sales strategy.

 

78


Table of Contents

Using our ACD, IVR, CTI, natural language processing, or NLP, open application programming interfaces and deep integration with CRM solutions, our clients can provide personalized customer service by delivering customer data to the agent handling the interaction. This promotes quick first contact resolution, which is a key factor in customer satisfaction. Our clients can prioritize high-value customers for special treatment, and respond to time-of-day needs, thereby maximizing agent productivity, while increasing customer satisfaction.

Outbound Contact Center:    Our Outbound Contact Center application enables our clients to improve the efficiency and productivity of outbound contact center agents. We offer a complete solution for outbound sales and marketing campaigns, including multiple automated dialing options, so our clients can find the right match for their needs and environment, including outbound business-to-consumer and business-to-business campaigns. We offer a variety of outbound dialer solutions, including our patented predictive dialer. The predictive dialer greatly enhances the productivity of agents and sales representatives by increasing productive talk time and minimizing idle time spent listening to voice mail and busy signals. These dialer solutions allow our clients to choose the automation capabilities that best align with their contact center environment and objectives, including lead prospecting, qualifying, nurturing and converting. We also provide campaign management tools such as list management, sophisticated dialer rules to connect with more prospects and agent scripting to maximize the productivity of our clients’ outbound campaigns. Our outbound contact center application easily integrates with our clients’ web presence to generate immediate, automated callback for online inquiries.

Blended Contact Center:    We provide both inbound and outbound capabilities on a single architecture to unify contact center operations. This helps improve agent productivity, as interactions are automatically routed based on interaction volume. When call volumes are low, our blending ability allows our clients to shift inbound agent resources to outbound-related functions. For example, inbound agents can be assigned to the outbound queue for automatic follow-ups on any customer interaction, flag customer surveys for personalized attention, or resolve open customer issues. Agents receive scripting to improve their effectiveness.

Five9 SoCoCare Social Customer Care:    Our social customer care application was purpose built for contact center agents and supervisors. Our solution is designed to route, track and report on performance in the social channel in the same manner as other channels handled by contact centers. Our advanced NLP engine with business rules automatically tags social posts as positive, negative or neutral. Our application also filters out unactionable social media interactions, which can be up to 80% of the social volume for most companies, by analyzing the relevancy of posts. We can prioritize items based on business rules, further cluster posts into tiered business topics and utilize our powerful custom views to monitor the social universe in real-time, thereby enabling agents to focus on actionable customer issues.

Mobile Customer Service Modules:    We offer mobile customer service modules to allow our clients to easily provide customer service from within their mobile application. These pre-built modules can be added to mobile applications, allowing enterprises to quickly add common tasks, such as scheduling an agent call back, mobile chat, sentiment feedback or Net Promoter Score measurement, into their applications.

Management Applications:    Our integrated portfolio of management applications is built and delivered on our highly scalable and agile VCC cloud platform. We provide real-time supervisor tools to monitor and manage agent performance and call flows. In addition, we provide a suite of configurable management reports to enable our clients to manage the end-to-end performance of their contact center operations. For advanced client needs, we also offer fully integrated workforce and quality management applications through our strategic relationship with NICE Systems, Inc.

Our clients can access our VCC cloud platform in four different ways:

 

    Agent Desktop:    Serves as the unified environment for contact center agents. Agents are provided with one easy-to-use interface for handling interactions designed to promote a seamless customer experience. Automated call scripting and real-time customer data, such as purchase and interaction history, is delivered to empower the agent with the data they need to answer customer questions and provide a highly effective customer experience.

 

   

Supervisor:    Provides supervisors with tools to optimize the contact center and ensure high quality customer interactions. These tools provide visibility into call routing, queues, service level agreements, or

 

79


Table of Contents
 

SLAs, workflow management, utilization, campaign statistics and agent productivity. A mobile tablet version of the supervisor application is also available to help supervisors monitor agents, listen in on conversations, coach agents, and oversee queues and agent performance metrics. These metrics typically include average handle time, first contact resolution, number of interactions handled and contact outcomes.

 

    Administrator:    Provides administrators with a comprehensive set of integrated tools to easily configure agent skills (such as language, domain expertise, and channels to service), determine interaction routing strategies, specify IVR scripts and manage the contact center operation. The Five9 Administrator system is easy to use so that contact center business personnel can set up and make changes themselves, without having to rely on specialized IT staff often required to deploy or update legacy on-premise contact center systems. This represents a key advantage of our VCC cloud platform, as it allows businesses to move and change quickly to keep up with the rapid changes required in contact center operations.

 

    Reporting and Analytics:    Real-time reports provide statistics and key performance indicators to allow executives and supervisors to monitor the contact center, improve reaction time to interaction volume and manage agents more effectively. We provide more than 100 standard reports with multiple views and drill-downs into individual inbound calls and metrics, customer interaction outcomes, and outbound sales and marketing program metrics. Our reporting platform also enables clients to build customized reports and reporting schedules.

CRM Integrations:    We offer pre-built integrations with leading providers of CRM systems such as Salesforce.com, Inc., Oracle Corporation, Microsoft Corporation and NetSuite Inc. in addition to professional service-delivered integration with home grown or legacy CRM systems. Our solution routes each customer interaction to an appropriate agent resource and, through integrations with CRM applications, provides agents with immediate access to the most current, relevant and accurate information about the customer, resulting in increased first contact resolutions and a more satisfying experience for the customer.

Clients

We have a large and diverse client base comprised of over 2,000 organizations as of December 31, 2013, with no single client representing more than 10% of our revenues in 2011, 2012 or 2013. Our client base spans organizations of all sizes across multiple industries, including banking and financial services, business process outsourcers, consumer, healthcare and technology.

The following is a representative sample of our current clients: Access Worldwide Communications, Inc.; American Support, LLC (“American Support”); Citrix Systems, Inc.; Comcast; ConnectAmerica.com, LLC; Dun & Bradstreet Credibility Corp.; McKesson Corporation (“McKesson”); NetSuite Inc.; PennyMac Loan Services, LLC; Siemens AG; Straight Forward of Wisconsin, Inc.; Xerox Corporation.

Client Case Studies

We believe that the following case studies provide a representative sample of how our clients use our solution. These case studies are illustrative only and the results stated herein may not be representative of the results achieved by other clients. These case studies have been approved by the applicable clients.

American Support

Situation: Prior to using Five9, American Support, a leading contact center outsourcer, employed two separate contact center systems: an on-premise system for outbound calls and a cloud solution for inbound calls. Multiple systems required extensive agent training, and managing data was a laborious manual process. Additionally, the premise-based outbound solution forced American Support to invest significantly in both hardware and IT support staff, while the inbound solution lacked large-scale dialing capabilities.

 

80


Table of Contents

Solution and Benefits: In September 2012, American Support selected Five9 and combined its inbound and outbound calls into one blended solution. Currently, American Support has informed us that they handle an average of 230,000 calls per month for its customers. Some of the benefits that American Support has realized from Five9 include:

 

    One Total Solution: Five9 offers all of the functionality — powerful dialing options, robust reporting, CRM integration, quality of service and advanced call routing — that American Support was looking for and combines them into one system. This joint solution allows American Support to train agents on only one system no matter what type of calls they are managing.

 

    Scalability: The cloud solution from Five9 enables American Support to scale up or down almost instantaneously based on its customers’ needs. Now American Support can add agents in hours instead of the days and weeks it took with its old solution. Depending on seasonal needs, American Support’s staff ranges between 160 and 400 agents throughout the year.

 

    High Availability of Solution: American Support’s contact center enjoys excellent uptime, thanks to Five9’s robust technology, geographic redundancy, qualified personnel, and in-production upgrade procedures.

 

    Cost Savings: Since implementing Five9, American Support has informed us that they have reduced overall costs by approximately 20%. The Five9 cloud solution enables American Support to keep costs predictable and controlled, as there are no up-front investments or bloated IT maintenance budgets to contend with. Also contributing to this substantial savings is the reduction in telephony charges, which they believe decreased by 50%.

 

    Increased Productivity: American Support informed us that they have experienced a 160% increase in contacts per hour with Five9.

 

    CRM Integration: The Five9 integration with Salesforce enables American Support to store information, track leads and manage all post-call activities for its clients. Also, supervisors can monitor agents in real-time and track performance from any device at any time.

 

    Expansion in the Future: In 2014, American Support has informed us that they plan to implement components of the Five9 SoCoCare solution to add advanced social and mobile customer care to its contact center operations.

Dunn & Bradstreet Credibility Corp.

Situation: Dun & Bradstreet Credibility Corp. is the leading provider of credit building and credibility solutions for businesses. When it was establishing itself after an acquisition from Dun & Bradstreet, Inc. and becoming an independent organization, the company looked to find a solution that reduced its telephony investment risk and could be managed with limited IT staff. A significant portion of Dun & Bradstreet Credibility Corp.’s revenue is generated through the phones, so selecting the right contact center solution was critical.

Solution and Benefits: In February 2011, Dun & Bradstreet Credibility Corp. chose Five9 because we offered the advanced features Dun & Bradstreet Credibility Corp. required, as well as the best value. Benefits included:

 

    A Complete Solution: Dun & Bradstreet Credibility Corp. implemented a blended solution from Five9 to manage tens of thousands of calls per month. Dun & Bradstreet Credibility Corp. benefits from many of Five9’s advanced dialing capabilities to handle its large call volume.

 

    Lower Risk: Five9 manages and maintains the contact center infrastructure within its data centers, so Dun & Bradstreet Credibility Corp. can focus on growing the business and other strategic issues rather than infrastructure.

 

    Scalability: Due to continued demand for its products, Dun & Bradstreet Credibility Corp. needed to expand its total number of agents dramatically. Dun & Bradstreet Credibility Corp. now has hundreds of agents across the United States.

 

81


Table of Contents
    Cost Savings: Since utilizing Five9’s services, Dun & Bradstreet Credibility Corp. believes that its operating costs have decreased by 60%. Dun & Bradstreet Credibility Corp. no longer relies on consulting firms to help maintain an on-premise system, and its telephony staff has been reduced from roughly 10 employees to one. In addition, Dun & Bradstreet Credibility Corp. has informed us that they believe Five9 has helped Dun & Bradstreet Credibility Corp. decrease monthly recurring costs per agent by 63%.

 

    Agent Efficiency: Five9’s easy-to-use technology has helped Dun & Bradstreet Credibility Corp. maximize its agents’ expertise, time and performance. The number of calls of all types that Dun & Bradstreet Credibility Corp. manages increased dramatically.

McKesson

Situation: McKesson, a global provider of health care technology, medical supplies and pharmaceutical products, was using a manual system to dial and manage 10,000+ outbound calls per month within its Specialty Health division. With this outdated system, McKesson was forced to retain a sizable staff, and campaigns still took over 90 days to complete. Other challenges included slow dialing, insufficient manual reporting and inefficient processes.

Solution and Benefits: McKesson implemented Five9 in January 2013 and found the efficiency and cost savings it was looking for. Benefits included:

 

    Rapid Deployment: Deployment of the Five9 system and training was handled very quickly, and McKesson was operational within just 10 days. Minimal internal IT support was required during the implementation and the Five9 Professional Services team effectively guided the McKesson Contact Center Operations team through the data collection, testing, training and go-live process.

 

    Higher Efficiency: With the Five9 Dialer, McKesson has informed us that they are now able to manage the same number of calls (10,000+ per month) with half the number of agents.

 

    Better Visibility: Five9’s advanced reporting tools are easy to use and allow McKesson supervisors to monitor agents in real-time and track their performance. McKesson also has much greater visibility into call case status, something that previously had to be tracked manually.

 

    Cost Savings: Implementing the Five9 cloud solution required low start-up costs, which minimized McKesson’s investment risk. No hardware was required, and labor costs have been significantly reduced. Operating costs are drastically lower due to fewer agents and greater efficiency in campaign execution. Since deploying Five9, McKesson has informed us that they have realized a 150% increase in productivity.

NetSuite

Situation: Prior to selecting Five9, NetSuite, the industry’s leading provider of cloud-based financials / ERP and omnichannel commerce software suites, had a few problems with other contact center solutions—both on-premise and cloud-based. Issues included poor call quality, the inability to integrate with other tools, a lack of call recording and reporting ability, and poor scalability.

Solution and Benefits: In 2011, NetSuite selected a blended inbound/outbound solution from Five9. By partnering with Five9, NetSuite increased the efficiency of its agents and improved customer satisfaction levels. Benefits included:

 

    International Deployment: Five9 is used by 320+ NetSuite agents in multiple countries—Philippines, Canada, Czech Republic, Hong Kong, Japan, and the United States. NetSuite manages over 15,000 calls per month.

 

    CRM Integration: Five9 offers advanced NetSuite integration capabilities for case management, reporting and forecasting.

 

    Improved Call Quality: The Five9 contact center solution has dramatically enhanced call quality for NetSuite, as demonstrated from feedback results received on NetSuite’s regular support customer surveys.

 

    Growth: Since implementing Five9, NetSuite has grown from 279 to approximately 329 agents.

Sales

Our sales model consists of a field sales team that sells our solution into larger opportunities and a telesales team that sells our solution into smaller opportunities. We established our business targeting smaller opportunities and have expanded our sales focus to larger opportunities as we gained traction in the market and enhanced the capabilities of our cloud solution. We have developed a disciplined, high volume, metrics-driven sales strategy, which we believe enables us to efficiently generate and close a large number of new sales opportunities. Our telesales team focuses on qualified leads generated through traffic to our websites, and also supports our field sales team through lead generation and lead-tracking activities. Our field and telesales teams are also responsible for selling to existing clients, that may renew their subscriptions, increase the number of agents using our cloud solution, add new applications from our solution and expand the deployment of our solution across their contact centers.

Marketing

To build client awareness and adoption of our solution, our lead generation activities consist primarily of client referrals, internet advertising, digital marketing campaigns, social marketing, trade shows, industry events, co-marketing with strategic partners and telemarketing. In addition, our industry analyst, press and media outreach programs, and web site marketing initiatives are designed to build brand awareness and preference for Five9. We offer free trials and services to allow prospective clients to experience the quality and ease-of-use of our cloud solution, to learn about the features and functionality of our VCC cloud platform in more detail, and to quantify the benefits of our cloud solution.

To complement our sales and marketing efforts, we have developed a large ecosystem of software, technology, telephony and system integrator partners who help increase awareness of our solution and generate new and installed base sales opportunities.

Research and Development

Our ability to compete depends in large part on our continuous commitment to research and development and our ability to improve the functionality of, and add new features to, our VCC cloud platform. The majority of our research and development employees are located in our development center in Russia, allowing us to benefit from relatively low-cost, highly skilled software developers. Our engineering team has deep software and telecommunications skills, and works closely with our sales team to identify our clients’ product requirements. In addition, continuous interactions with our partners enable our engineers to enhance the usability and performance of our platform and its integration with best-in-class CRM and other business applications and telephony technologies.

As of December 31, 2013, we had 162 employees in our research and development group, of which 85 engineers are based in Russia. Our research and development expenses totaled $8.7 million, $13.2 million and $17.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively. We intend to continue investing in research and development to continue to deliver robust functionality to our clients.

Professional Services

We offer comprehensive professional services to our clients to assist in the successful implementation and optimization of our solution. Our professional services include application configuration, system integration, and education and training. Our clients may use our professional services team for implementing our solution or, in limited cases, they may also choose to perform these services themselves or engage third-party service providers to perform such services. Our cloud solution allows us to eliminate the need for lengthy and complex technology integrations, such as deploying equipment or maintaining hardware infrastructure for individual clients. As a result, we are typically able to deploy and optimize our solution in significantly less time than required for deployments of legacy on-premise contact center systems.

Technology and Operations

Our highly scalable and flexible VCC cloud platform is the result of 12 years of research, development, client engagement and operational experience. The platform is comprised of in-house developed intellectual property, open source products and commercially available hardware and software. The platform is designed to be redundant and we believe that all components can be upgraded, expanded or replaced with minimal or no interruption in service.

We deliver our services globally from two third-party co-location data center facilities located in Santa Clara, California and Atlanta, Georgia. Our infrastructure, including that at our third-party co-location facilities, is designed to support real-time mission-critical telecommunications, applications and operational support systems. Our infrastructure is built with redundant, fault-tolerant components divided into distinct security zones forming protective layers for our applications and customer data.

We have designed and maintain an operations, capacity and security program to monitor and maintain our platform, ensure efficient utilization of the platform capacity and protect against security threats or data breaches. Our operations team constantly monitors our data centers for potential performance issues, unauthorized attempts to access secure data or applications and the overall integrity of the platform.

Competition

The market for contact center software is fragmented, highly competitive and evolving rapidly in response to shifting consumer behavior, especially the rapid adoption of mobile devices and social media. The proliferation of each is driving change in contact center technology, as customers expect companies to give them the option of seamless communication across any channel according to their preference and needs. Combined with the disruptive nature of the cloud in the contact center, this has resulted in competitors who come from different market and product heritages, and who vary in size, breadth and scope of the products and services offered. We currently compete with large legacy on-premise contact center system vendors that offer on-premise enterprise telephony and contact center systems, such as Avaya and Cisco; and legacy on-premise software companies with a historical focus on CTI, such as Aspect, Genesys and Interactive Intelligence. These companies are expanding their traditional on-premise contact center systems with cloud-based offerings, either through acquisition or in-house development. Additionally, we compete with vendors that historically provided other contact center services and technologies and expanded to offer cloud contact center software. These companies include inContact and LiveOps. We also face competition from smaller contact center service providers with specialized contact center software offerings. Our actual and potential competitors may enjoy competitive advantages over us, including greater name recognition, longer operating histories, larger marketing budgets and greater financial and technical resources. We believe the principal competitive factors in our market include:

 

    breadth and depth of solution features;

 

    reliability, scalability and quality of the platform;

 

    ease of deployment and use of applications;

 

    level of client satisfaction;

 

    domain expertise in contact center operations;

 

    integration with third-party applications;

 

    pricing;

 

    ability to quickly adjust agent seats based on business requirements;

 

    breadth and domain expertise of the sales and marketing organization;

 

    ability to keep pace with client requirements;

 

    extent and efficiency of our professional services;

 

    ability to offer multiple channels of engagement; and

    size and financial stability of operations.

We believe we currently compete effectively with respect to each of the factors identified above.

Intellectual Property

We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, and trade secret laws in the U.S. and other jurisdictions, as well as license agreements and other contractual protections, to protect our proprietary technology. We also rely on a number of registered and unregistered trademarks to protect our brand. In addition, we require our employees and independent contractors involved in development of intellectual property on our behalf to enter into agreements acknowledging that all works or other intellectual property generated or conceived by them on our behalf are our property, and assigning to us any rights, including intellectual property rights, that they may claim or otherwise have in those works or property, to the extent allowable under applicable law.

Our intellectual property portfolio includes twenty registered and seven pending trademarks, four issued U.S. patents and seventeen pending patent applications and one registered copyright. We have pending patent applications and limited trademark registrations outside the U.S. In general, our patents and patent applications apply to aspects of our VCC cloud platform. We are also a party to various license agreements with third parties that typically grant us the right to use certain third-party technology in conjunction with our solution.

Employees

As of December 31, 2013, we had 533 full-time employees, including 162 employees in our research and development group. None of our employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements. We believe that our employee relations are good and we have never experienced any work stoppages.

Facilities

Our principal executive offices are located in San Ramon, California, where we occupy approximately 62,477 square feet of office space under a lease expiring on February 28, 2018. We maintain additional offices in Russia and the Philippines. We have leases with data center operators in the United States pursuant to various lease agreements and co-location arrangements. We believe our facilities are sufficient for our current needs.

Regulatory

The following summarizes important, but not all, federal and state regulations that could impact our operations. Federal and state regulations are subject to judicial review, administrative revision and statutory changes through legislation that could materially affect how we and others in this industry operate.

The Telecommunications Act of 1996 vests the Federal Communications Commission, or FCC, with jurisdiction over interstate telecommunications services, while preserving state and local jurisdiction over many aspects of these services. As a result, telecommunications services are regulated at both the federal and state levels in the United States.

We are classified as a telecommunications service provider for federal regulatory purposes. Since our business is regulated by the FCC, we are subject to existing or potential FCC regulations relating to privacy, disability access, porting of numbers, USF contributions and other requirements. If we do not comply with FCC rules and regulations, we could be subject to FCC enforcement actions, fines, loss of operating authority and possibly restrictions on our ability to operate or offer certain of our services. Any enforcement action by the FCC, which may be a public process, would hurt our reputation in the industry, possibly impair our ability to sell our services to clients and could harm our business and results of operations.

Among the federal regulations to which we are subject, we must comply (in whole or in part) with:

 

    the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act, or CALEA, which requires covered entities to assist law enforcement in undertaking electronic surveillance;

 

    contributions to the USF which requires that we pay a percentage of our revenues to support certain federal programs;

 

85


Table of Contents
    payment of annual FCC regulatory fees based on our interstate and international revenues;

 

    rules pertaining to access to our services by people with disabilities and contributions to the Telecommunications Relay Services fund; and

 

    FCC rules regarding Customer Proprietary Network Information, or CPNI, which require that we not use such information without customer approval, subject to certain exceptions.

In addition, we are subject to contributions and other payments on our usage-based fees at the state and local levels. The tax and fee structure relative to communications services such as ours is complex, ambiguous and subject to interpretation. If taxing and regulatory authorities enact new rules or regulations or expand their interpretations of existing rules and regulations, we could incur additional liabilities. In addition, the collection of additional taxes, fees or surcharges in the future could have the effect of increasing our prices or reducing our profit margins. Compliance with these regulations may also make us less competitive with those competitors who are not subject to, or choose not to comply with, the regulations. See Note 9 to the notes to our consolidated financial statements for a discussion of our accruals related to USF matters.

The FCC and a number of states are considering reform or other modifications to USF programs. The questions being considered as part of such reform by the FCC include which companies should contribute, how those contributions should be assessed and how the administration of the system can be improved. In addition, a number of states are actively considering extending their regulatory regimes. Any such changes could change the way in which we comply with our regulatory obligations and could increase our regulatory costs and expenses.

As we expand internationally, we will be subject to laws and regulations in the countries in which we offer our services. Regulatory treatment of the solutions we provide outside the U.S. varies from country to country, is often unclear, and may be more onerous than those imposed on our services in the U.S. Our regulatory obligations in foreign jurisdictions could negatively impact the use or cost of our solution in international locations.

The legislative and regulatory scheme for telecommunications service providers and other solutions we provide will continue to evolve and can be expected to change the competitive environment for these services. It is not possible to predict how such evolution and changes will affect, if at all, our business or the industry in general. If we do not comply with any current or future rules or regulations that apply to our business, we could be subject to substantial fines and penalties, we may have to restructure our service offerings, exit certain markets, accept lower margins or raise the price of our services, any of which could ultimately harm our business and results of operations. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Regulatory Matters” for more information.

Legal Proceedings

We are subject to certain legal and regulatory proceedings described below, and from time to time may be involved in a variety of claims, lawsuits, investigations and proceedings relating to contractual disputes, intellectual property rights, employment matters, regulatory compliance matters and other litigation matters.

During the third quarter of 2012, we determined that based on our business activities, we are classified as a telecommunications service provider for regulatory purposes and we are required to make direct contributions to the USF based on revenue we receive from the resale of interstate and international telecommunications services. Previously, we had been advised that the telecommunications services were an integral part of an information service and accordingly made indirect USF contributions as an end user through payments to our wholesale telecommunications service providers. In order to comply with the obligation to make direct contributions, in November 2012, we made a voluntary self-disclosure to the FCC Enforcement Bureau and have registered with USAC, which is charged by the FCC with administering the USF. We have accrued for past due contributions dating back to 2003 and, in April 2013, began remitting required contributions on a current basis directly to USAC.

Our registration with USAC subjects us to assessments for unpaid USF contributions, as well as interest and penalties thereon, due to our late registration and reporting of revenues. See Note 9 to the notes to our consolidated financial statements for a discussion of such assessments.

On August 5, 2011, NobelBiz, Inc., or NobelBiz, sent a letter to us asserting infringement of a patent related to virtual call centers. On April 3, 2012, NobelBiz filed a patent infringement lawsuit against us in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. The patent asserted in the complaint is different, but related, to the patent asserted in the original letter. The lawsuit, NobelBiz Inc v. Five9, Inc., Case No. 6:12-cv-00243-LED, alleges that our local caller ID management service infringes United States Patent No. 8,135,122, or the 122 patent. The 122 patent, titled “System and Method for Modifying Communication Information (MCI),” issued on March 13, 2012, and according to the complaint is alleged to relate to “a system for processing a telephone call from a call originator (also referred to as a calling party) to a call target (also referred to as a receiving party), where the system accesses a database storing outgoing telephone numbers, selects a replacement telephone number from the outgoing telephone numbers based on the telephone number of the call target, and originates an outbound call to the call target with a modified outgoing caller identification (‘caller ID’). NobelBiz seeks damages in the form of lost profits as well as injunctive relief. The lawsuit is one of several lawsuits filed by NobelBiz the same day against various companies including TCN Inc., LiveVox, Inc. and Global Connect LLC. On March 28, 2013, the court granted our motion to transfer the case to the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. Subsequently, NobelBiz amended its complaint to add claims related to U.S. Patent No. 8,565,399, which is a continuation in the same family as the 122 patent and addresses the same technology. We responded to the complaint and amended complaint by asserting noninfringement and invalidity of the 122 patent. The court in California held a status conference on December 9, 2013, and subsequently set a schedule to hold a claim construction hearing regarding the patents to be held on August 22, 2014. No trial date or further schedule is anticipated until after the court issues its ruling as to claim construction following the hearing.

The outcome of litigation and regulatory claims cannot be predicted with certainty, may be expensive and cause distraction to our management, even if we are ultimately successful, and could harm our future results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

Board of Directors

Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of our board of directors. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes ten directors and our board of directors currently consists of nine directors. Pursuant to our existing amended and restated certificate of incorporation and Eighth Amended and Restated Stockholders’ Agreement, or Stockholders’ Agreement, our current directors were elected as follows:

 

    Mr. Burkland was elected by the holders of a majority of our common stock to the position designated for our Chief Executive Officer;

 

    Ms. Alexy and Mr. Zollars were elected by the holders of a majority of our preferred stock as the unanimous designees of the directors then in office;

 

    Messrs. Acosta and DeWalt were elected by the holders of a majority of our common stock and preferred stock, voting as separate classes, as the unanimous designees of the common stock director and the preferred stock directors;

 

    Mr. Kertzman was elected by the holders of a majority of our series A-2 preferred stock as the designee of Hummer Winblad Venture Partners V, L.P. or its affiliates;

 

    Mr. Wilson was elected by the holders of a majority of our series A-2 preferred stock as the designee of Partech U.S. Partners IV, LLC or its affiliates;

 

    Mr. Welsh was elected by the holders of a majority of our series B-2 preferred stock as the designee of Adams Street 2011 Direct Fund, L.P. or its affiliates; and

 

    Mr. Das was elected by the holders of a majority of our series D-2 preferred stock as the designee of SAP Ventures Fund I, L.P. or its affiliates.

The provisions of our Stockholders’ Agreement by which our directors are elected will terminate and the provisions of our existing amended and restated certificate of incorporation by which our directors were elected will be amended and restated in connection with this offering. See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions — Stockholders’ Agreement.” After this offering, the number of directors will be fixed by our board of directors, subject to the terms of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws that will become effective immediately prior to the completion of this offering. Each of our current directors will continue to serve as a director until the election and qualification of his or her successor, or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal. We may add one or more additional directors to our board of directors prior to the consummation of this offering.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, which will be amended and restated in connection with this offering, will provide that directors may only be removed for cause. To remove a director for cause, 66 23% of the voting power of the outstanding voting stock must vote as a single class to remove the director at an annual or special meeting. The certificate will also provide that, if a director is removed or if a vacancy occurs due to either an increase in the size of the board or the death, resignation, disqualification or other cause, the vacancy will be filled solely by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, even if less than a quorum remain.

Classified Board of Directors

We intend to adopt an amended and restated certificate of incorporation that will become effective immediately prior to the completion of this offering. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that, immediately after the completion of this offering, our board of directors will be divided into three classes with staggered three-year terms. Only one class of directors will be elected at each annual meeting of stockholders, with the other classes continuing for the remainder of their respective three-year terms. Our board of directors will be designated as follows:

 

    Messrs. Das, Kertzman and Wilson will be Class I directors, and their terms will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2015;

 

93


Table of Contents
    Messrs. Acosta, DeWalt and Welsh will be Class II directors, and their terms will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2016; and

 

    Ms. Alexy and Messrs. Burkland and Zollars will be Class III directors, and their terms will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2017.

Any additional directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors will be distributed among the three classes so that, as nearly as possible, each class will consist of one-third of our directors.

The division of our board of directors into three classes with staggered three-year terms may delay or prevent a change of our management or a change in control. See “Description of Capital Stock — Anti-takeover Provisions” for a discussion of other anti-takeover provisions found in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation.

Director Independence

Commencing in 2014, our board of directors will review at least annually the independence of each director. During these reviews, the board will consider transactions and relationships between each director (and his or her immediate family and affiliates) and our company and its management to determine whether any such transactions or relationships are inconsistent with a determination that the director is independent. This review will be based primarily on responses of the directors to questions in a directors’ and officers’ questionnaire regarding employment, business, familial, compensation and other relationships with us and our management.

Prior to the consummation of this offering, our board of directors will meet to formally assess the independence of each of our directors. As required by the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, our independent directors will meet in regularly scheduled executive sessions at which only independent directors are present. We intend to comply with future governance requirements to the extent they become applicable to us.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

In 2013, we adopted a code of business conduct and ethics that is applicable to all of our employees, officers and directors, including our chief executive and senior financial officers. The code of business conduct and ethics, as amended, will be available on our website at www.five9.com. We expect that any amendment to the code, or any waivers of its requirements, will be disclosed on our website. The inclusion of our website in this prospectus does not include or incorporate by reference the information on our website into this prospectus.

Lead Independent Director

Our board of directors has adopted, effective upon the listing of our common stock on the NYSE, corporate governance guidelines. Our corporate governance guidelines provide that one of our independent directors shall serve as our Lead Independent Director at any time when our Chief Executive Officer serves as the Chairman of our board of directors or if the Chairman is not otherwise independent. Our Lead Independent Director will preside over periodic meetings of our independent directors, serve as a liaison between our Chairman and our independent directors and perform such additional duties as our board of directors may otherwise determine and delegate.

Board Committees

Upon consummation of this offering, our board of directors will have three standing committees: an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and governance committee. The composition and responsibilities of each committee are described below. Members will serve on these committees until their resignation or until otherwise determined by our board of directors. The charters for each of our committees will be available on our website upon completion of this offering.

Other Committees

Our board of directors may establish other committees as it deems necessary or appropriate from time to time.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

Messrs. Kertzman and Welsh served as members of our compensation committee during 2013. None of the members of our compensation committee is or has been an officer or employee of our company. None of our executive officers currently serves, or in the past year has served, as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee (or other board committee performing equivalent functions) of any entity that has one or more of its executive officers serving on our board of directors or compensation committee.

Limitations of Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers

We are incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a Delaware corporation may indemnify any persons who are, or are threatened to be made, parties to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person was an officer, director, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as an officer, director, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided that such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation’s best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was illegal. A Delaware corporation may indemnify any persons who are, or are threatened to be made, a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation by reason of the fact that such person was a director, officer, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation’s best interests except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer or director is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him or her against the expenses that such officer or director has actually and reasonably incurred. Our current amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws provide for the indemnification of our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law.

Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duties as a director, except for liability for any:

 

    transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit;

 

    act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

 

    unlawful payment of dividends or redemption of shares; or

 

    breach of a director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws include such a provision. Expenses incurred by any officer or director in defending any such action, suit or proceeding in advance of its final disposition shall be paid by us upon delivery to us of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified by us.

 

97


Table of Contents

Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides, among other things, that a director who willfully or negligently approves of an unlawful payment of dividends or an unlawful stock purchase or redemption may be held liable for such actions. A director who was either absent when the unlawful actions were approved, or dissented at the time, may avoid liability by causing his or her dissent to such actions to be entered in the books containing minutes of the meetings of the board of directors at the time such action occurred or immediately after such absent director receives notice of the unlawful acts.

We expect to adopt a new amended and restated certificate of incorporation and new amended and restated bylaws, which will become effective immediately prior to the completion of this offering and which will contain similar provisions that limit the liability of our directors and officers.

Non-Employee Director Compensation

Prior to this offering, we did not have a formal policy with respect to compensation payable to our non-employee directors for service as directors. Our non-employee directors do not currently receive, and did not receive in 2013, any cash compensation for their service on our board of directors and committees of our board of directors. From time to time, we have granted stock options to certain non-employee directors for their service on our board of directors. We also reimbursed our directors for expenses associated with attending meetings of our board of directors and committees of our board of directors.

Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation

The 2013 Bonus Plan provided for bonus payments to eligible employees on a quarterly basis based upon each eligible employee’s target base bonus amount, or Bonus Target Payout and a weighting of our achievement of financial performance objectives, or Corporate Objectives, and individual personal objectives, or Personal Objectives, determined at the beginning of the year by our board of directors.

The bonus pool for Corporate Objectives was funded based on our achievement against quarterly targets of: (i) an 80% weighting of a revenue target (“Revenue Target”) and (ii) a 20% weighting of a normalized cash flow target (“Normalized Cash Flow Target”). For the bonuses to fund under the Revenue Target for a given quarter, we had to achieve at least 90% of the quarterly revenue target. Upon reaching the 90% level, we would fund 70% of the bonus pool, with funding of the pool scaling upwards to a maximum of 130% of the bonus pool if we achieved 110% of our Revenue Target. For bonus payout under our Normalized Cash Flow Target, we had to achieve a quarterly normalized cash flow target as determined by the board of directors. The quarterly Normalized Cash Flow Target is considered to have been met if normalized cash flow for the quarter is within $100,000 of the target or higher.

Up to 50% of an employee’s bonus payments were based on Personal Objectives tailored to each executive which included certain strategic business goals that are established and measured quarterly.

The target bonuses for 2013 were $196,607, $116,145, and $48,016 for Messrs. Burkland, Zwarenstein and Manor, respectively. The total cash incentive payments paid to our named executive officers for fiscal 2013 are described in the “Non-Equity Incentive Compensation” column of the 2013 Summary Compensation Table.

Perquisites

We generally do not provide special employee benefits for our named executive officers. Currently, we offer a limited travel and lodging allowance to certain officers who would otherwise have long daily commutes to increase the time these executives have to focus on their responsibilities to us. We believe the benefit to us outweighs the cost to us.

Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control

In connection with this offering, our board of directors has approved the Key Employee Severance Benefit Plan (the “Severance Plan”) to provide consistency in severance benefit rights for our executive officers. Severance is conditioned on signing an effective release of claims and compliance with on-going confidentiality and proprietary information obligations.

Under the Severance Plan, we will provide as severance benefits to each executive officer who is subject to an involuntary termination without cause: (1) a lump sum cash payment of the number of months of base salary determined based on the officer’s position, and (2) payment of the premiums for continued post-termination health insurance coverage for up to the same number of months. Benefits are 12 months for our Chief Executive Officer, nine months for our Chief Financial Officer, and six months for our other executive officers.

In addition, under the Severance Plan, if the executive officer’s employment is terminated in connection with a change in control, we will provide as severance benefits to each executive officer who is subject to either an involuntary termination without cause or resignation for good reason: (1) a lump sum cash payment of the number of months of base salary determined based on the officer’s position, (2) payment of the premiums for continued post-termination health insurance coverage for up to the same number of months, (3) pro-rated target cash incentive bonus for the year of termination, and (4) 100% vesting of then outstanding unvested equity awards. Benefits are 18 months for our Chief Executive Officer, 15 months for our Chief Financial Officer, and 12 months for our other executive officers.

If an executive officer has rights under an existing offer letter or equity award agreement providing for a greater number of months of benefits or greater percentage of accelerated vesting, those incremental benefits will be incorporated into that individual’s rights under the Severance Plan, to avoid duplication of benefits. The Severance Plan provides for “better after tax” treatment if payments would be “parachute payments” for purposes of Section 280G of the Code – that is, the payment will be paid in full, or reduced, whichever results in the greater after tax benefit after taking into account all taxes including the excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code.

Employee Benefit and Stock Plans

Amended and Restated 2004 Equity Incentive Plan, as Amended

Our board of directors and stockholders originally adopted our 2004 Plan in June 2004. Our 2004 Plan was last amended and restated in June 2012, and was most recently amended in November 2013. Our 2004 Plan allows for the grant of incentive stock options to our employees and to our parent and subsidiary corporations’ employees, and for the grant of nonqualified stock options, restricted stock awards and stock bonus awards to employees, officers, directors and consultants of ours and our parent and subsidiary corporations.

We expect to terminate our 2004 Plan on the effectiveness of this offering and, accordingly, no shares will be available for issuance pursuant to new awards under the 2004 Plan following the completion of this offering. We expect that any shares subject to the available share reserve of the 2004 Plan at that time will become available for grant under the 2014 Plan that we expect to adopt in connection with this offering, and that any shares that would otherwise return to the 2004 Plan after the offering will instead return to the 2014 Plan.

Authorized Shares.    The maximum share reserve under our 2004 Plan was 47,531,331 shares as of January 31, 2014. As of January 31, 2014, under our 2004 Plan, 1,362,902 shares were available for issuance in the form of stock options or stock awards, options to purchase 29,554,972 shares of our common stock remained outstanding at a weighted average exercise price of approximately $0.84 per share and, as of January 31, 2014, we retained repurchase rights over unvested equity awards covering 59,880 unvested shares of our common stock. Currently, shares subject to stock awards granted under our 2004 Plan (i) that expire or terminate without being exercised in full, (ii) that are forfeited under an award, or (iii) that are subject to an award that otherwise terminates without shares being issued, will return to the 2004 Plan share reserve for future grant.

Table of Contents

Plan Administration.    Our board of directors currently administers our 2004 Plan. Subject to the provisions of our 2004 Plan, the administrator has the power to interpret and administer our 2004 Plan and any award agreement and to determine the terms of awards, including the recipients, the number of shares subject to each award, the exercise price (if any), the vesting schedule, and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of our 2004 Plan. The administrator may, at any time, authorize the issuance of new awards in substitution for outstanding awards or the cashing out or net settlement of awards, and may also reduce the exercise price of options to a price not below the fair market value on the date of the repricing.

Options.    Stock options may be granted under our 2004 Plan. The exercise price per share of all options must equal at least 100% of the fair market value per share of our common stock on the date of grant. The term of an option may not exceed ten years. An incentive stock option granted to a participant who owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock on the date of grant, or any parent or subsidiary corporations, may not have a term in excess of five years and must have an exercise price of at least 110% of the fair market value per share of our common stock on the date of grant. The administrator will determine the methods of payment of the exercise price of an option, which may include cash, cancellation of indebtedness, surrender of previously acquired shares or through a same day sale mechanism. After a participant’s termination of service, the participant generally may exercise his or her options, to the extent vested as of such date of termination, for three months after termination. If termination is due to death or disability, the participant may generally exercise his or her options, to the extent then-vested, for twelve months after termination. However, in no event may an option be exercised later than the expiration of its term.

Restricted Stock and Stock Bonuses.    Restricted stock and stock bonuses may be granted under our 2004 Plan. Restricted stock awards and stock bonus awards are grants of shares of our common stock that are subject to various restrictions, including restrictions on transferability and forfeiture provisions. Shares subject to these awards will vest, and the restrictions on such shares will lapse, in accordance with terms and conditions established by the administrator.

Transferability or Assignability of Awards.    Our 2004 Plan generally does not allow for the transfer or assignment of awards, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

Certain Adjustments.    In the event of certain changes in our capitalization, the exercise prices of and number of shares subject to outstanding options and purchase price of and numbers of shares subject to outstanding awards will be proportionately adjusted, subject to any required action by our board of directors or stockholders. The available share reserve and the limit on the number of incentive stock options that may be granted under the 2004 Plan will also be proportionately adjusted.

Merger or Change in Control.    Our 2004 Plan provides that in connection with a merger involving a substantial change in ownership, a dissolution or liquidation, a sale of all assets, or other “corporate transaction” as defined under the incentive stock option rules, each outstanding award may be assumed, replaced or substituted for an equivalent award. If awards are not assumed, replaced or substituted for, then outstanding awards will then generally terminate on the closing of the corporate transaction. For awards granted to persons who were providing services on or before February 23, 2010, the awards that are not assumed, replaced or substituted for will become fully vested immediately prior to the closing.

Amendment; Termination.    Our board of directors may amend our 2004 Plan at any time, provided that such amendment does not impair the rights under outstanding awards without the participant’s written consent. As noted above, upon completion of this offering, we expect to terminate our 2004 Plan, in which case no further awards will be granted under our 2004 Plan, although all outstanding awards will continue to be governed by their existing terms.

2014 Equity Incentive Plan

We anticipate our board of directors adopting our 2014 Plan in connection with this offering so that the 2014 Plan will become effective immediately upon the signing of the underwriting agreement for this offering. The 2014 Plan will terminate on                 , 2024, unless sooner terminated by our board of directors. The 2014 Plan will provide for the grant of incentive stock options to our employees and non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, performance-based stock awards,

 

105


Table of Contents

performance-based cash awards and other forms of equity compensation to our employees, directors and consultants. Additionally, our 2014 Plan will provide for the grant of performance cash awards to our employees, directors and consultants.

The discussion below summarizes the terms of the proposed 2014 Plan.

Authorized shares.    The maximum number of shares of our common stock that may be issued under our 2014 Plan will consist of (i) an initial share reserve of              shares of our common stock, (ii) the shares of our common stock remaining available for issuance under the 2004 Plan on the date of this offering and not subject to outstanding awards under the 2004 Plan and (iii) the shares of our common stock subject to awards granted under the 2004 Plan that expire or terminate for any reason prior to exercise or settlement, are forfeited because of the failure to vest in those shares or are otherwise reacquired or withheld to satisfy a tax withholding obligation in connection with such awards if, as and when such shares are subject to such events, which aggregate number of shares will not exceed             shares, with such shares subject to adjustment to reflect any split of our common stock. Additionally, the number of shares of our common stock reserved for issuance under our 2014 Plan will automatically increase on January 1 of each year, beginning on January 1, 2015 and ending on and including January 1, 2024, by 5% of the total number of shares of our capital stock outstanding on December 31 of the preceding calendar year, or a lesser number of shares determined by our board of directors. The maximum number of shares that may be issued upon the exercise of incentive stock options under our 2014 Plan is             (subject to adjustment to reflect any split of our common stock). Shares issued under our 2014 Plan include authorized but unissued or reacquired shares of our common stock. Shares subject to stock awards granted under our 2014 Plan that expire or terminate without being exercised in full, or that are paid out in cash rather than in shares, do not reduce the number of shares available for issuance under our 2014 Plan. Additionally, shares issued pursuant to stock awards under our 2014 Plan that we repurchase or that are forfeited, as well as shares used to pay the exercise price of a stock award or to satisfy the tax withholding obligations related to a stock award, become available for future grant under our 2014 Plan.

Plan administration.    Our board of directors, or a duly authorized committee of our board of directors, will administer our 2014 Plan and is referred to as the administrator. The administrator may also delegate to one or more of our officers the authority to (i) designate employees (other than officers) to receive specified stock awards and (ii) determine the number of shares of our common stock to be subject to such stock awards. Subject to the terms of our 2014 Plan, the administrator has the authority to determine the terms of awards, including recipients, the exercise, purchase or strike price of stock awards, if any, the number of shares subject to each stock award, the fair market value of a share of our common stock, the vesting schedule applicable to the awards, together with any vesting acceleration and the form of consideration, if any, payable upon exercise or settlement of the award and the terms of the award agreements.

The administrator has the power to modify outstanding awards under our 2014 Plan. The administrator has the authority to reprice any outstanding option or stock appreciation right, cancel any outstanding stock award in exchange for new stock awards, cash or other consideration or take any other action that is treated as a repricing under generally accepted accounting principles, with the consent of any adversely affected participant.

Section 162(m) limits.    At such time as necessary for compliance with Section 162(m) of the Code, no participant may be granted stock awards covering more than 2,000,000 shares of our common stock (subject to adjustment to reflect any split of our common stock) under our 2014 Plan during any calendar year pursuant to stock options, stock appreciation rights and other stock awards whose value is determined by reference to an increase over an exercise price or strike price of at least 100% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. Additionally, no participant may be granted in a calendar year a performance stock award covering more than 2,000,000 shares of our common stock (subject to adjustment to reflect any split of our common stock) or a performance cash award having a maximum value in excess of $3,000,000 under our 2014 Plan. These limitations are intended to give us the flexibility to grant compensation that will not be subject to the $1,000,000 annual limitation on the income tax deductibility imposed by Section 162(m) of the Code.

Performance awards.    We believe our 2014 Plan will permit the grant of performance-based stock and cash awards that may qualify as performance-based compensation that is not subject to the $1,000,000 limitation on the income tax deductibility imposed by Section 162(m) of the Code. Our compensation committee may

structure awards so that the stock or cash will be issued or paid only following the achievement of certain pre-established performance goals during a designated performance period. However, we retain the discretion to grant awards under the 2014 Plan that may not qualify for full deductibility.

Our compensation committee may establish performance goals by selecting from one or more performance criteria, including:

 

    earnings (including earnings per share and net earnings)

 

    earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation

 

    earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization

 

    earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and legal settlements

    total stockholder return, either absolutely or relative to an index

 

    return on equity or average stockholder’s equity

 

    return on assets, investment, or capital employed

 

    stock price

 

    margin (including gross margin)

 

    income (before or after taxes)

 

    operating income

 

    operating income after taxes

 

    pre-tax profit

 

    sales or revenue targets

 

    increases in revenue or components of revenue

 

    expenses and cost reduction goals

 

    improvement in or attainment of working capital levels

 

    economic value added (or an equivalent metric)

 

    market share

 

    cash flow, operating cash flow, cash flow per share, free cash flow (operating cash flow less capital expenditures and capitalized software), or normalized cash flow (EBITDA less debt service)

 

    share price performance, either absolutely or relative to an index

 

    debt reduction

 

    employee retention

 

    stockholders’ equity

 

    capital expenditures

 

    debt levels

Corporate transactions.    Our 2014 Plan provides that in the event of certain specified significant corporate transactions, as defined under our 2014 Plan, each outstanding award will be treated as the administrator determines. The administrator may (i) arrange for the assumption, continuation or substitution of a stock award by a successor corporation, (ii) arrange for the assignment of any reacquisition or repurchase rights held by us to a successor corporation, (iii) accelerate the vesting, in whole or in part, of the stock award and provide for its termination prior to the transaction and arrange for the lapse, in whole or in part, of any reacquisition or repurchase rights held by us or (iv) cancel the stock award prior to the transaction in exchange for a cash payment, if any, determined by our board of directors. The plan administrator is not obligated to treat all stock awards or portions of stock awards, even those that are of the same type, in the same manner.

Plan amendment or termination.    Our board of directors will have the authority to amend, suspend or terminate our 2014 Plan, provided that such action does not materially impair the existing rights of any participant without such participant’s written consent. No incentive stock options may be granted after the tenth anniversary of the date our board of directors adopts our 2014 Plan.

2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Prior to the effectiveness of this offering, our board of directors intends to adopt our 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or the ESPP, and we expect our stockholders will approve it prior to the completion of this offering. The ESPP will become effective in connection with the completion of this offering.

Authorized Shares.    The maximum aggregate number of shares of our common stock that will be made available for issuance under our ESPP is             shares (subject to adjustment to reflect any split of our common stock). Additionally, our ESPP provides that the number of shares of our common stock reserved for issuance under our ESPP will increase automatically each year, beginning on January 1, 2015 and continuing through and including January 1, 2024, by the lesser of (i)     % of the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding on December 31 of the preceding calendar year; (ii)             shares of common stock (subject to adjustment to reflect any split of our common stock); or (iii) such lesser number as determined by our board of directors. Shares subject to purchase rights granted under our ESPP that terminate without having been exercised in full will not reduce the number of shares available for issuance under our ESPP.

Plan Administration.    Our board of directors, or a duly authorized committee of our board of directors, will administer our ESPP. Our board of directors and/or our compensation committee, that is, the administrator, may approve offerings with a duration of not more than 27 months and may specify one or more shorter purchase periods within each offering. Each offering will have one or more purchase dates on which shares of our common stock will be purchased for the employees who are participating in the offering. The administrator, in its discretion, will determine the terms of offerings under our ESPP, including determining which of our designated affiliates will be eligible to participate in the Code Section 423 component of our ESPP and which of our designated affiliates will be eligible to participate in the non-Code Section 423 component of our ESPP.

Payroll Deductions.    Our ESPP will permit participants to purchase shares of our common stock through payroll deductions or other methods with up to 15% of their earnings. The purchase price of the shares will be not less than 85% of the lower of the fair market value of our common stock on the first day of an offering or on the date of purchase.

Eligibility.    Our employees, including executive officers, may have to satisfy one or more of the following service requirements before participating in our ESPP, as determined by the administrator: (i) customary

 

108


Table of Contents

employment for more than 20 hours per week and more than five months per calendar year or (ii) continuous employment for a minimum period of time, not to exceed two years. An employee may not be granted rights to purchase stock under our ESPP if such employee (i) immediately after the grant would own stock possessing 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of our common stock or (ii) holds rights to purchase stock under our ESPP that would accrue at a rate that exceeds $25,000 worth of our stock for each calendar year that the rights remain outstanding. Under our ESPP, we may grant purchase rights that do not meet the requirements of an employee stock purchase plan because of deviations necessary to permit participation by employees who are foreign nationals or employed outside of the United States, as required by applicable foreign laws.

Non-Transferability.    A participant may not transfer purchase rights under our ESPP other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution or as otherwise provided under our ESPP.

Merger or Change in Control.    In the event of a specified corporate transaction, such as a merger or change in control, a successor corporation may assume, continue or substitute each outstanding purchase right. If the successor corporation does not assume, continue or substitute for the outstanding purchase rights, the offering in progress may be shortened and a new exercise date will be set, so that the participants’ purchase rights can be exercised and terminate immediately thereafter.

Termination.    Our ESPP will remain in effect until terminated by the administrator in accordance with the terms of the ESPP. Our board of directors has the authority to amend, suspend or terminate our ESPP, at any time and for any reason.

401(k) Plan

We have a 401(k) plan to provide tax deferred salary deductions for all eligible employees. Participants may make voluntary contributions to the 401(k) plan, limited by certain Internal Revenue Service restrictions. We are responsible for the administrative costs of the 401(k), and we do not match employee contributions.

Stockholders’ Agreement

We are party to the Eighth Amended and Restated Stockholders’ Agreement dated as of October 18, 2013, which provides, among other things, that certain holders of our capital stock have the right to demand that we file a registration statement or request that their shares of our capital stock be covered by a registration statement that we are otherwise filing. See “Description of Capital Stock — Registration Rights” for additional information regarding these registration rights.

Under the Stockholders’ Agreement, certain holders of our capital stock, including entities with which certain of our directors are affiliated, have agreed to vote their shares of our capital stock on certain matters, including for the election of directors. Upon the completion of this offering, these voting provisions will terminate and none of our stockholders will have any special rights regarding the election or designation of members of our board of directors.

Other Transactions

Pursuant to our 2004 Plan, we or our assignees have a right to purchase certain shares of our common stock which stockholders propose to sell to other parties. These rights will terminate upon the completion of this offering. See “Principal Stockholders” for additional information regarding beneficial ownership of our capital stock.

We have adopted a change in control plan providing certain of our executive officers with certain severance and change in control benefits. See “Executive Compensation — Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control” for additional information regarding this plan.

As a managing director of Hummer Winblad Venture Partners, one of our directors, Mr. Kertzman, has an indirect ownership interest in Birst, Inc., or Birst. In 2012, we incurred $0.5 million of expense for data warehousing services rendered to us by Birst. In the year ended December 31, 2013, we incurred $0.3 million of expense for data warehousing services rendered to us by Birst.

Limitation of Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

Our current amended and restated certificate of incorporation limits the liability of our directors for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. Consequently, our directors are not personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duties as directors, except liability for (i) any breach of their duty of loyalty to our company or our stockholders; (ii) any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law; or (iv) any transaction from which they derived an improper personal benefit.

Any amendment to, or repeal of, these provisions will not eliminate or reduce the effect of these provisions in respect of any act, omission or claim that occurred or arose prior to that amendment or repeal. If the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended to provide for further limitations on the personal liability of directors of corporations, then the personal liability of our directors will be further limited to the greatest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. We expect to adopt a new amended and restated certificate of incorporation, which will become effective immediately prior to the completion of this offering, and which will contain similar provisions that limit the liability of our directors for monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.

Our current amended and restated bylaws provide that we (i) will indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was one of our directors or officers or, while a director or officer, is or was serving at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise and (ii) must advance expenses incurred by or on behalf of a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of any action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by us. We expect to adopt new amended and restated bylaws, which will become effective immediately prior to the completion of this offering, which will contain similar provisions that limit the liability of our directors and officers.

We have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors, executive officers and certain other officers pursuant to which they are provided indemnification rights that are broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained in the Delaware General Corporation Law. These indemnification agreements generally require us, among other things, to indemnify our directors, executive officers and certain other officers against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service. These indemnification agreements also require us to advance all expenses incurred by the directors, executive officers and certain other officers in investigating or defending any such action, suit or proceeding. We believe that these agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve as directors and officers. Prior to the completion of this offering, we expect to enter into new indemnification agreements with each of our directors, executive officers and certain other officers which will contain similar provisions.

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions that are expected to be included in our new amended and restated certificate of incorporation, amended and restated bylaws and the indemnification agreements that we enter into with our directors, executive officers and certain other officers may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors and officers for breach of their fiduciary duties. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against our directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit us and other stockholders. Further, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent that we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers as required by these indemnification provisions. At present, we are not aware of any pending litigation or proceeding involving any person who is or was one of our directors, officers, employees or other agents or is or

 

112


Table of Contents

was serving at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, for which indemnification is sought, and we are not aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification.

We have obtained insurance policies under which, subject to the limitations of the policies, coverage is provided to our directors and executive officers against loss arising from claims made for breach of fiduciary duty or other wrongful acts as a director or executive officer and to us with respect to payments that may be made by us to these directors and executive officers pursuant to our indemnification obligations or otherwise as a matter of law. Prior to the completion of this offering, we will enter into additional insurance arrangements to provide coverage to our directors and executive officers against loss arising from claims relating to public securities matters.

Certain of our non-employee directors may, through their relationships with their employers, be insured and/or indemnified against certain liabilities incurred in their capacity as members of our board of directors.

The underwriting agreement will provide for indemnification by the underwriters of us and our officers, directors and employees for certain liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Securities Act, or otherwise.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling our company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Policies and Procedures for Related Party Transactions

Following the completion of this offering, our audit committee will have the primary responsibility for reviewing and approving or disapproving “related party transactions,” which are transactions between us and related persons in which the aggregate amount involved exceeds or may be expected to exceed $120,000 and in which a related person has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. Upon the completion of this offering, our policy regarding transactions between us and related persons will provide that a related person is defined as a director, executive officer, nominee for director or greater than 5% beneficial owner of our common stock, in each case since the beginning of the most recently completed fiscal year, and any of their immediate family members. Our audit committee charter that will be in effect upon the completion of this offering will provide that our audit committee shall review and approve or disapprove any related party transactions.

Table of Contents

PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS

The following table sets forth the beneficial ownership of our shares of common stock as of January 31, 2014 for:

 

    each person known to us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our shares of common stock;

 

    each of our named executive officers;

 

    each of our directors; and

 

    all of our executive officers and directors as a group.

We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Unless otherwise indicated below, to our knowledge, the persons and entities named in the table have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all shares that they beneficially own, subject to community property laws where applicable. In computing the number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, we deemed outstanding shares of our common stock subject to options or warrants held by that person that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of January 31, 2014. We did not deem these shares outstanding, however, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

We have based percentage ownership of our common stock prior to this offering on 145,023,556 shares of our common stock outstanding as of January 31, 2014, which (i) includes 122,215,769 shares of common stock resulting from the conversion of our convertible preferred stock in connection with this offering, as if this conversion had occurred as of January 31, 2014 and (ii) excludes the effect of a         :         reverse stock split of our common stock, which will be effected prior to the completion of this offering. Percentage ownership of our common stock after this offering assumes the sale by us of             shares of common stock in this offering.

Unless otherwise noted, the address of each beneficial owner listed on the table below is c/o Five9, Inc., Bishop Ranch 8, 4000 Executive Parkway, Suite 400, San Ramon, CA 94583. Beneficial ownership representing less than 1% is denoted with an asterisk (*). The statements concerning voting and investment power included in the footnotes to this table shall not be construed as admissions that such persons are the beneficial owners of such shares of common stock.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

The following description summarizes certain important terms of our capital stock, as they are expected to be in effect immediately prior to the completion of this offering. We expect to adopt an amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws that will become effective immediately prior to the completion of this offering, and this description summarizes the provisions that are expected to be included in such documents. Because it is only a summary, it does not contain all the information that may be important to you. For a complete description of the matters set forth in this section, you should refer to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, amended and restated bylaws and the Stockholders’ Agreement, which will be included as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, and to the applicable provisions of Delaware law.

General

Immediately following the completion of this offering, our authorized capital stock will consist of              shares of capital stock, $         par value per share, of which:

             shares are designated as common stock; and

             shares are designated as preferred stock.

Assuming the conversion of all outstanding shares of our convertible preferred stock into shares of our common stock, which will occur in connection with this offering, as of December 31, 2013, there were              shares of our common stock outstanding, held by              stockholders of record, and no shares of our preferred stock outstanding. Following the conversion of our preferred stock and reverse stock split but before the consummation of this offering, we will have              shares of common stock outstanding and no shares of preferred stock outstanding. Our board of directors is authorized to issue additional shares of our capital stock without stockholder approval, except as required by the listing standards of the             .

Common Stock

Voting Rights

The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share on any matter to be voted upon by stockholders. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting in connection with the election of directors, and accordingly, holders of more than 50% of the shares voting will be able to elect all of the directors. The holders of a majority of the shares of common stock issued and outstanding constitute a quorum at all meetings of stockholders for the transaction of business.

Dividends

The holders of our common stock are entitled to dividends if, as and when declared by our board of directors, from funds legally available therefor, subject to the preferential rights of the holders of our preferred stock, if any, and certain contractual limitations on our ability to declare and pay dividends. See “Dividend Policy.”

Other Rights

Upon the consummation of this offering, no holder of our common stock will have any preemptive right to subscribe for any shares of our capital stock issued in the future.

Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of our affairs, the holders of our common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of creditors and subject to prior distribution rights of our preferred stock, if any.

Preferred Stock

Following the consummation of this offering, no shares of our preferred stock will be outstanding. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that our board of directors may, by resolution,

 

117


Table of Contents

establish one or more classes or series of preferred stock having the number of shares and relative voting rights, designations, dividend rates, liquidation, and other rights, preferences, and limitations as may be fixed by them without further stockholder approval. The holders of our preferred stock may be entitled to preferences over common stockholders with respect to dividends, liquidation, dissolution, or our winding up in such amounts as are established by the resolutions of our board of directors approving the issuance of such shares.

The issuance of our preferred stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us without further action by our stockholders and may adversely affect voting and other rights of holders of our common stock. In addition, issuance of preferred stock, while providing desirable flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions, financings and other corporate purposes, could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire a majority of our outstanding shares of voting stock. At present, we have no plans to issue any shares of preferred stock.

Options

As of January 31, 2014, we had outstanding options to purchase an aggregate of 29,554,972 shares of our common stock, with a weighted average exercise price of approximately $0.84 per share, under the 2004 Plan.

Warrants

As of January 31, 2014, we had outstanding warrants to purchase up to 31 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $950 per share. These warrants are exercisable at any time on or before November 27, 2016, with respect to 13 shares, and August 8, 2017, with respect to 18 shares.

As of January 31, 2014, we had outstanding warrants to purchase up to 1,510,623 shares of our common stock, on an as-converted basis, at an exercise price of $0.1630 per share. These warrants are exercisable at any time on or before February 28, 2015, with respect to 122,700 shares, March 25, 2015, with respect to 277,500 shares, July 14, 2015, with respect to 122,699 shares, July 15, 2015, with respect to 184,044 shares, June 5, 2016, with respect to 128,834 shares, February 26, 2020, with respect to 521,472 shares, and June 30, 2020 with respect to 153,374 shares.

As of January 31, 2014, we had an outstanding warrant to purchase 52,054 shares of our common stock, on an as-converted basis, at an exercise price of $1.4408 per share. This warrant is exercisable at any time on or before October 18, 2023.

In February 2014, we issued warrants to purchase 711,462 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $2.53 per share. These warrants are exercisable, once vested, at any time on or before February 20, 2024.

Registration Rights

After the completion of this offering, certain holders of our common stock and warrants to purchase our common stock will be entitled to rights with respect to the registration of their shares under the Securities Act. These registration rights are contained in our Stockholders’ Agreement. The shares of common stock into which certain of our warrants are convertible shall be deemed “Registrable Securities” for purposes of the registration rights under the Stockholders’ Agreement. We and certain holders of our preferred stock are parties to the Stockholders’ Agreement. The registration rights set forth in the Stockholders’ Agreement will expire five years following the completion of this offering, or, with respect to any particular stockholder, when such stockholder is able to sell all of its shares pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act or a similar exemption during any 90-day period. We will pay the registration expenses (other than underwriting discounts, commissions and stock transfer taxes) of the holders of the shares registered pursuant to the registrations described below. In an underwritten offering, the managing underwriter, if any, has the right, subject to specified conditions, to limit the number of shares such holders may include. Our stockholders have waived their rights under the Stockholders’ Agreement (i) to notice of this offering and (ii) to include their registrable shares in this offering. In addition, each stockholder that has registration rights has agreed not to sell, otherwise dispose of any securities or exercise registration rights without the prior written consent of the underwriters for a period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus, subject to certain terms and conditions. See “Underwriting” for additional information regarding such restrictions.

Demand Registration Rights

After the completion of this offering, pursuant to the Stockholders’ Agreement, the holders of up to approximately              shares of our common stock (including shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of our warrants) will be entitled to certain demand registration rights. At any time beginning 180 days after the effective date of this offering, the holders of at least 30% of these shares can request that we register the offer and sale of their shares. We are obligated to effect only two such registrations. Such request for registration must cover securities the anticipated aggregate public offering price of which is expected to exceed $10,000,000. If we determine that it would be seriously detrimental to us or our stockholders to effect such a demand registration, we have the right to defer such registration, not more than once in any 12-month period, for a period of up to 120 days from the date of receipt of the request from such holders.

Form S-3 Registration Rights

After the completion of this offering, pursuant to the Stockholders’ Agreement, the holders of up to approximately              shares of our common stock (including shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of our warrants) will be entitled to certain Form S-3 registration rights. Any such holder may make a written request that we register the offer and sale of its shares on a registration statement on Form S-3 if we are eligible to file a registration statement on Form S-3 so long as the request covers securities the anticipated aggregate public offering price of which is at least $1,000,000. These stockholders may make an unlimited number of requests for registration on Form S-3; however, we will not be required to effect a registration on Form S-3 if we have effected two such registrations within the 12-month period preceding the date of the request. In addition, we will not be required to effect such a registration in any jurisdiction in which we would be required to qualify to do business or to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration. Finally, if we determine that it would be seriously detrimental to us and our stockholders to effect such a registration, we have the right to defer such registration, not more than once in any 12-month period, for a period of up to 90 days after receipt of the request of such holder or holders.

Piggyback Registration Rights

After the completion of this offering, pursuant to the Stockholders’ Agreement, if we propose to register the offer and sale of our common stock under the Securities Act, in connection with the public offering of such common stock the holders of up to approximately              shares of our common stock (including shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of our warrants) will be entitled to certain “piggyback” registration rights allowing the holders to include their shares in such registration, subject to certain marketing and other limitations. As a result, whenever we propose to file a registration statement under the Securities Act, other than with respect to (1) a Form S-3 registration, (2) a registration related to any employee benefit plan or (3) a registration on any registration form which does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the public offering of our common stock, the holders of these shares are entitled to notice of the registration and have the right, subject to certain limitations, to include their shares in the registration.

Anti-takeover Provisions

Delaware Anti-takeover Law

We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. Section 203 generally prohibits a public Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless:

 

    prior to the date of the transaction, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;

 

   

the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction by which such stockholder became an interested stockholder commenced, excluding

 

119


Table of Contents
 

for purposes of determining the number of shares outstanding (a) shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers and (b) shares owned by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or

 

    on or subsequent to the date of the transaction, the business combination is approved by the board of directors of the corporation and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 23% of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder.

Section 203 defines a business combination to include:

 

    any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder;

 

    any sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition involving the interested stockholder of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation;

 

    subject to exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder;

 

    any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock of any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; and

 

    the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation.

In general, Section 203 defines an interested stockholder as any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation at any time within three years immediately prior to the date of determination and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by the entity or person.

Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaw Provisions

Provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws may delay or discourage transactions involving an actual or potential change in our control or change in our management, including transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares, or transactions that our stockholders might otherwise deem to be in their best interests. Therefore, these provisions could adversely affect the price of our common stock. Among other things, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws:

 

    provide that our board of directors is classified into three classes of directors;

 

    provide that stockholders may remove directors only for cause;

 

    provide that the authorized number of directors may be changed only by resolution of the board of directors;

 

    provide that all vacancies, including newly created directorships, may, except as otherwise required by law, be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of directors then in office, even if less than a quorum;

 

    provide that our stockholders may not take action by written consent, and may only take action at annual or special meetings of our stockholders;

 

    provide that stockholders seeking to present proposals before a meeting of stockholders or to nominate candidates for election as directors at a meeting of stockholders must provide notice in writing in a timely manner, and also specify requirements as to the form and content of a stockholder’s notice;

 

    do not provide for cumulative voting rights (therefore allowing the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock entitled to vote in any election of directors to elect all of the directors standing for election);

 

    provide that special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by the chairman of the board, our chief executive officer or the board of directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of authorized directors;

 

120


Table of Contents
    provide that stockholders will be permitted to amend our amended and restated bylaws only upon receiving at least 66 23% of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of all outstanding shares then entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class; and

 

    provide that certain provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation may only be amended upon receiving at least 66 23% of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of all outstanding shares then entitled to vote, voting together as a single class.

Transfer agent and registrar

The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC.

Listing

We intend to apply to have our shares of common stock approved for listing on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “FIVN.”

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock. Future sales of substantial amounts of common stock in the public market could adversely affect prevailing market prices. Furthermore, since only a limited number of shares will be available for sale shortly after this offering because of contractual and legal restrictions on resale described below, sales of substantial amounts of shares of common stock in the public market after the restrictions lapse could adversely affect the prevailing market price for our shares of common stock as well as our ability to raise equity capital in the future.

Based on the number of shares of common stock outstanding as of                     , 2014, upon completion of this offering,              shares of common stock will be outstanding, assuming no exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares and no exercise of options. Only the              shares sold in this offering will be freely tradable unless purchased by our “affiliates” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Except as set forth below, the              remaining shares of common stock outstanding after this offering will be “restricted securities” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act and may be subject to lock-up agreements. These remaining shares will generally become available for sale in the public market as follows:

 

    no restricted shares will be eligible for immediate sale upon the closing of this offering;

 

                 shares will be eligible for sale after 90 days from the date of this prospectus (subject to compliance with the terms of the lock-up agreement entered into by such holders);

 

                 shares will be eligible for sale upon expiration of the lock-up agreements 181 days after the date of this prospectus; and

 

    the remainder of the restricted shares will be eligible for sale from time to time thereafter upon expiration of their respective one-year holding periods, subject to any volume limitations applicable to their holders, but could be sold earlier if the holders exercise any available registration rights.

Rule 144

In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person or persons who is an affiliate, or whose shares are aggregated and who owns shares that were acquired from the issuer or an affiliate at least six months ago, would be entitled to sell, within any three-month period, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of (i) 1% of our then outstanding shares of common stock, which would be approximately              shares of common stock immediately after this offering, or (ii) an amount equal to the average weekly reported volume of trading in our common stock on all national securities exchanges and/or reported through the automated quotation system of registered securities associations during the four calendar weeks preceding the date on which notice of the sale is filed with the SEC. Sales in reliance on Rule 144 are also subject to other requirements regarding the manner of sale, notice and availability of current public information about us.

A person or persons whose common shares are aggregated, and who is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates at any time during the 90 days immediately preceding the sale, may sell restricted securities in reliance on Rule 144(b)(1) without regard to the limitations described above, subject to our compliance with Exchange Act reporting obligations for at least three months before the sale, and provided that six months have expired since the date on which the same restricted securities were acquired from us or one of our affiliates, and provided further that such sales comply with the current public information provision of Rule 144 (until the securities have been held for one year). As defined in Rule 144, an “affiliate” of an issuer is a person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, that same issuer.

Rule 701

Subject to certain limitations on the aggregate offering price of a transaction and other conditions, Rule 701 under the Securities Act, as in effect on the date of this prospectus, permits resales of shares in reliance upon Rule 144 but without compliance with certain restrictions of Rule 144, including the holding period requirement. Most of our employees, executive officers or directors who purchased shares under a written compensatory plan

 

122


Table of Contents

or contract, including the 2004 Plan, may be entitled to rely on the resale provisions of Rule 701, but all holders of Rule 701 shares are required to wait until 90 days after the date of this prospectus before selling their shares. However, substantially all Rule 701 shares are subject to lock-up agreements as described below and under “Underwriting” and will become eligible for sale upon the expiration of the restrictions set forth in those agreements. We will file a registration statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act to register common stock issuable under our equity incentive plans.

Lock-up agreements

We have agreed that we will not, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, (i) offer, pledge, announce the intention to sell, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, or file with the SEC a registration statement under the Securities Act relating to, any shares of our common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any shares of our common stock, or publicly disclose the intention to make any offer, sale, pledge, disposition or filing, or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers all or a portion of the economic consequences associated with the ownership of any shares of common stock or any such other securities (regardless of whether any of these transactions are to be settled by the delivery of shares of common stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise) for a period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus, subject to certain exceptions.

All of our directors and executive officers and holders of substantially all of our outstanding stock, have agreed that, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, they will not directly or indirectly, (1) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of common stock or any securities directly or indirectly convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for common stock (including without limitation, common stock or such other securities which may be deemed to be beneficially owned in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and securities which may be issued upon exercise of a stock option or warrant) or publicly disclose the intention to make any offer, sale, pledge or disposition, (2) enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the common stock or such other securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of common stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, or (3) make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to the registration of any shares of common stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for common stock, for a period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus. Each of the lock-up agreements executed by our directors, executive officers and stockholders contain certain exceptions, including the disposition of shares of common stock purchased in open market transactions after the consummation of this offering and the establishment of a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan; provided, in the case of a 10b5-1 trading plan, that (i) such plan does not provide for the transfer of shares of common stock during the 180-day period, and (ii) no filing by any party under the securities laws or other public announcement shall be voluntarily made in connection with the establishment of such plan, and to the extent a public announcement or filing by any party is required under the securities laws regarding the establishment of such plan, such announcement or filing shall include a statement to the effect that no transfer of common stock may be made under such plan during the 180-day period. See “Underwriting.”

Registration Rights

Upon the closing of this offering, the holders of              shares of common stock (including shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of our warrants) will be entitled to rights with respect to the registration of their shares of common stock under the Securities Act, subject to the lock-up arrangement described above. Registration of these shares under the Securities Act would result in the shares becoming freely tradable without restriction under the Securities Act (except for shares held by affiliates) immediately upon the effectiveness of such registration. Any sales of securities by these stockholders could adversely affect the trading price of our shares of common stock. See “Description of Capital Stock — Registration Rights.”

Registration Statement on Form S-8

We intend to file a registration statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act promptly after the completion of this offering to register shares of our common stock subject to outstanding options, as well as reserved for future issuance, under our equity incentive plans, including our ESPP. The registration statement on Form S-8 is expected to become effective immediately upon filing, and shares of our common stock covered by the registration statement will then become eligible for sale in the public market, subject to the Rule 144 limitations applicable to affiliates, vesting restrictions and any applicable market standoff agreements and lock-up agreements. See “Executive Compensation — Employee Benefit and Stock Plans” for a description of our equity incentive plans.

CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS RELEVANT TO NON-U.S HOLDERS

The following is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations relevant to the ownership and disposition of our common stock by non-U.S. holders, but does not purport to be a complete analysis of all the potential tax considerations relating thereto. This summary is based upon the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, administrative rulings and judicial decisions, all as of the date hereof. These authorities may be changed, possibly retroactively, so as to result in U.S. federal income tax consequences different from those set forth below.

This summary is limited to non-U.S. holders who purchase our common stock issued pursuant to this offering and who hold shares of our common stock as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, for investment purposes). This summary does not address the tax considerations arising under the laws of any non-U.S., state or local jurisdiction or under U.S. federal gift and estate tax laws. In addition, this discussion does not address tax considerations applicable to an investor’s particular circumstances or to investors that may be subject to special tax rules, including, without limitation:

 

    banks, insurance companies or other financial institutions;

 

    persons subject to the alternative minimum tax;

 

    tax-exempt organizations;

 

    controlled foreign corporations, passive foreign investment companies and corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid United States federal income tax;

 

    brokers or dealers in securities or currencies;

 

    traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities holdings;

 

    persons that own, or are deemed to own, more than five percent of our capital stock (except to the extent specifically set forth below);

 

    certain former citizens or former long-term residents of the United States;

 

    persons who hold our common stock as a position in a hedging transaction, “straddle,” “conversion transaction” or other risk reduction transaction; or

 

    persons deemed to sell our common stock under the constructive sale provisions of the Code.

In addition, if a partnership (including an entity or arrangement classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds our common stock, the tax treatment of a partner generally will depend on the status of the partner and upon the activities of the partnership. Accordingly, partnerships that hold our common stock, and partners in such partnerships, should consult their tax advisors.

YOU ARE URGED TO CONSULT YOUR TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE APPLICATION OF THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, AS WELL AS ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF OUR COMMON STOCK ARISING UNDER THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL ESTATE OR GIFT TAX RULES, UNITED STATES ALTERNATIVE MINIMUM TAX RULES OR UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCAL, NON-U.S. OR OTHER TAXING JURISDICTION OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE TAX TREATY.

Non-U.S. Holder Defined

For purposes of this discussion, you are a non-U.S. holder if you are any holder (other than a partnership or entity or arrangement classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that is not:

 

    an individual citizen or resident of the United States;

 

    a corporation or other entity taxable as a corporation created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof;

 

    an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or

Table of Contents
    a trust (x) whose administration is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and which has one or more U.S. persons who have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (y) which has made an election to be treated as a U.S. person.

Distributions

We have not made any distributions on our common stock, and we do not plan to make any distributions for the foreseeable future. However, if we do make distributions on our common stock, other than certain pro rata distributions of common stock, those payments will constitute dividends for U.S. tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. To the extent those distributions exceed both our current and our accumulated earnings and profits, they will constitute a return of capital and will first reduce your basis in our common stock, but not below zero, and then will be treated as gain from the sale of stock, subject to the tax treatment described below in “— Gain on Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Stock.”

Any dividend paid to you generally will be subject to U.S. withholding tax at a rate of 30% of the gross amount of the dividend, or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty, except to the extent that the dividends are “effectively connected” dividends, as described below. In order to be eligible for a reduced treaty rate, you must provide us with an IRS Form W-8BEN or other appropriate version of IRS Form W-8 certifying qualification for the reduced rate. A non-U.S. holder of shares of our common stock eligible for a reduced rate of U.S. withholding tax pursuant to an income tax treaty may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS. If the non-U.S. holder holds the stock through a financial institution or other agent acting on the non-U.S. holder’s behalf, the non-U.S. holder will be required to provide appropriate documentation to the agent, which then will be required to provide certification to us or our paying agent, either directly or through other intermediaries.

We may withhold up to 30% of the gross amount of the entire distribution even if greater than the amount constituting a dividend, as described above, to the extent provided for in the Treasury Regulations. If tax is withheld on the amount of a distribution in excess of the amount constituting a dividend, then a refund of any such excess amounts may be obtained if a claim for refund is timely filed with the Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS.

Dividends received by you that are effectively connected with your conduct of a U.S. trade or business (and, if an income tax treaty applies, attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by you in the United States) are exempt from such withholding tax. In order to obtain this exemption, you must provide us with an IRS Form W-8ECI or other applicable IRS Form W-8 properly certifying such exemption. Such effectively connected dividends, although not subject to withholding tax, are generally taxed at the same graduated rates applicable to U.S. persons, net of certain deductions and credits. In addition, if you are a corporate non-U.S. holder, dividends you receive that are effectively connected with your conduct of a U.S. trade or business may also be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty.

Gain on Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Stock

You generally will not be required to pay U.S. federal income tax on any gain realized upon the sale or other taxable disposition of our common stock unless:

 

    the gain is effectively connected with your conduct of a U.S. trade or business (and, if an income tax treaty applies, the gain is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by you in the United States);

 

    you are an individual who is present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the calendar year in which the sale or disposition occurs and certain other conditions are met; or

 

    our common stock constitutes a U.S. real property interest by reason of our status as a “United States real property holding corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or a USRPHC, at any time within the shorter of the five-year period preceding the disposition or your holding period for our common stock.

 

126


Table of Contents

In general, we would be a USRPHC if interests in U.S. real property comprised at least 50% of the fair market value of our assets. We believe that we are not currently and will not become a USRPHC. However, because the determination of whether we are a USRPHC depends on the fair market value of our U.S. real property relative to the fair market value of our other business assets, there can be no assurance that we will not become a USRPHC in the future. Even if we become a USRPHC, however, as long as our common stock is regularly traded on an established securities market, such common stock will be treated as a U.S. real property interest only if you actually or constructively hold more than five percent of such regularly traded common stock at any time during the applicable period described above.

If you are a non-U.S. holder described in the first bullet above, you will generally be required to pay tax on the gain derived from the sale (net of certain deductions or credits) under regular graduated U.S. federal income tax rates generally applicable to U.S. persons, and corporate non-U.S. holders described in the first bullet above may be subject to branch profits tax at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. If you are an individual non-U.S. holder described in the second bullet above, you will be required to pay a flat 30% tax on the gain derived from the sale, which tax may be offset by U.S. source capital losses (even though you are not considered a resident of the United States), provided that the non-U.S. holder has timely filed U.S. federal income tax returns with respect to such losses. You should consult any applicable income tax or other treaties that may provide for different rules.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

Generally, we must report annually to the IRS the amount of dividends paid to you, your name and address, and the amount of tax withheld, if any. A similar report will be sent to you. Pursuant to applicable income tax treaties or other agreements, the IRS may make these reports available to tax authorities in your country of residence.

Payments of dividends or of proceeds on the disposition of stock made to you may be subject to additional information reporting and backup withholding at a current rate of 28% unless you establish an exemption, for example by properly certifying your non-U.S. status on a Form W-8BEN or another appropriate version of IRS Form W-8. Notwithstanding the foregoing, backup withholding and information reporting may apply if either we or our paying agent has actual knowledge, or reason to know, that you are a U.S. person or that the conditions of any other exemption are not, in fact, satisfied.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax; rather, the U.S. income tax liability of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund or credit may generally be obtained from the IRS, provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS in a timely manner.

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (or FATCA)

New rules under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code (“FATCA”) generally will impose a U.S. federal withholding tax of 30% on dividends and the gross proceeds of a disposition of our common stock paid to a “foreign financial institution” (as specially defined under these rules) unless such institution enters into (or is otherwise subject to) an agreement with the U.S. government to withhold on certain payments and to collect and provide to the U.S. tax authorities substantial information regarding U.S. account holders of such institution (which includes certain equity and debt holders of such institution, as well as certain account holders that are foreign entities with U.S. owners). FATCA also will generally impose a U.S. federal withholding tax of 30% on dividends and the gross proceeds of a disposition of our common stock paid to a non-financial foreign entity unless such entity provides the withholding agent with a certification identifying the direct and indirect U.S. owners of the entity or certifies that it does not have any substantial U.S. owners. Foreign financial institutions and non-financial foreign entities located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing these withholding and reporting requirements may be subject to different rules. If an investor does not provide us with the information necessary to comply with the legislation, it is possible that distributions to such investor of certain withholdable payments, such as dividends, will be subject to the 30% withholding tax. Under certain transition rules, any obligation to withhold under FATCA with respect to dividends on our common stock will not begin until July 1, 2014 and with respect to gross proceeds on a

 

127

disposition of our common stock will not begin until January 1, 2017. Under certain circumstances, a non-U.S. holder might be eligible for refunds or credits of such taxes. Prospective investors are encouraged to consult with their own tax advisors regarding the possible implications of FATCA on their investment in our common stock.

THE PRECEDING DISCUSSION OF UNITED STATES FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS IS FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY. IT IS NOT TAX ADVICE. EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR SHOULD CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE PARTICULAR UNITED STATES FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL AND NON-U.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES OF PURCHASING, HOLDING AND DISPOSING OF OUR COMMON STOCK, INCLUDING THE CONSEQUENCES OF ANY PROPOSED CHANGE IN APPLICABLE LAWS.

The underwriting agreement provides that the underwriters’ obligation to purchase shares of common stock depends on the satisfaction of the conditions contained in the underwriting agreement, including:

 

    the obligation to purchase all of the shares of common stock offered hereby (other than those shares of common stock covered by their option to purchase additional shares as described below), if any of the shares are purchased;

 

    the representations and warranties made by us to the underwriters are true;

 

    there is no material adverse change in our business or in the financial markets; and

 

    we deliver customary closing documents to the underwriters.

Commissions and Expenses

The following table summarizes the underwriting discounts and commissions we will pay to the underwriters. These amounts are shown assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase up to              additional shares from us. The underwriting fee is the difference between the initial price to the public and the amount the underwriters pay to us for the shares we have agreed to sell to them.

The Representatives have advised us that the underwriters propose to offer the shares of common stock directly to the public at the public offering price on the cover of this prospectus and to selected dealers, which may include the underwriters, at such offering price less a selling concession not in excess of $         per share. After the offering, the Representatives may change the offering price and other selling terms.

The expenses of this offering, which are payable by us, are estimated to be approximately $         million (excluding underwriting discounts and commissions), which includes approximately $         that we have agreed to reimburse the underwriters for certain FINRA-related expenses incurred by them in connection with this offering.

Option to Purchase Additional Shares

We have granted the underwriters an option exercisable for 30 days after the date of this prospectus to purchase, from time to time, in whole or in part, up to an aggregate of              shares of common stock at the

Table of Contents

public offering price less underwriting discounts and commissions. To the extent that the underwriters exercise this option, each underwriter will be committed, so long as the conditions of the underwriting agreement are satisfied, to purchase a number of additional shares of common stock proportionate to that underwriter’s initial commitment as indicated in the preceding table, and we will be obligated to sell the additional shares of common stock to the underwriters.

Lock-Up Agreements

We have agreed that we will not, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, (i) offer, pledge, announce the intention to sell, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, or file with the SEC a registration statement under the Securities Act relating to, any shares of our common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any shares of our common stock, or publicly disclose the intention to make any offer, sale, pledge, disposition or filing, or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers all or a portion of the economic consequences associated with the ownership of any shares of common stock or any such other securities (regardless of whether any of these transactions are to be settled by the delivery of shares of common stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise) for a period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus, subject to certain exceptions.

All of our directors and executive officers and holders of substantially all of our outstanding stock, have agreed that, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, they will not directly or indirectly, (1) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of common stock or any securities directly or indirectly convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for common stock (including without limitation, common stock or such other securities which may be deemed to be beneficially owned in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and securities which may be issued upon exercise of a stock option or warrant) or publicly disclose the intention to make any offer, sale, pledge or disposition, (2) enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the common stock or such other securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of common stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, or (3) make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to the registration of any shares of common stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for common stock, for a period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus. Each of the lock-up agreements executed by our directors, executive officers and stockholders contain certain exceptions, including the disposition of shares of common stock purchased in open market transactions after the consummation of this offering and the establishment of a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan; provided, in the case of a 10b5-1 trading plan, that (i) such plan does not provide for the transfer of shares of common stock during the 180-day period, and (ii) no filing by any party under the securities laws or other public announcement shall be voluntarily made in connection with the establishment of such plan, and to the extent a public announcement or filing by any party is required under the securities laws regarding the establishment of such plan, such announcement or filing shall include a statement to the effect that no transfer of common stock may be made under such plan during the 180-day period.

The Representatives, in their sole discretion, may release the common stock and other securities subject to the lock-up agreements described above in whole or in part at any time with or without notice. When determining whether or not to release common stock and other securities from lock-up agreements, the Representatives will consider, among other factors, the holder’s reasons for requesting the release, the number of shares of common stock and other securities for which the release is being requested and market conditions at the time. In the event the Representatives release any common stock and other securities subject to the lock-up agreements held by our executive officers and directors, we have agreed to publicly announce the impending release or waiver at least two business days before the effective date of the release or waiver.

As described below under “Directed Share Program,” any participants in the Directed Share Program shall be subject to a 180-day lock up with respect to any shares sold to them pursuant to that program. This lock up will have similar restrictions as the lock-up agreement described above for the officers and directors. Any shares sold in the Directed Share Program to our directors or officers shall be subject to the lock-up agreement described above.

Directed Share Program

At our request, the underwriters have reserved for sale at the initial public offering price up to 5% of the common stock being offered by this prospectus for sale to our employees, executive officers, directors, business associates and related persons who have expressed an interest in purchasing common stock in this offering. All participants that purchase shares of common stock as part of the directed share program will be subject to the 180-day lock-up restriction as described above in “—Lock-Up Agreements.” We do not know if these persons will choose to purchase all or any portion of these reserved shares, but any purchases they do make will reduce the number of shares available to the general public. Any reserved shares of our common stock that are not so purchased will be offered by the underwriters to the general public on the same terms as the other shares of our common stock offered by this prospectus. We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities and expenses, including liabilities under the Securities Act, in connection with sales of the reserved shares.

Offering Price Determination

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock. The initial public offering price will be negotiated between the Representatives and us. In determining the initial public offering price of our common stock, the Representatives will consider:

 

    the history and prospects for the industry in which we compete;

 

    our financial information;

 

    an assessment of management and our business potential and earnings prospects;

 

    the prevailing securities market conditions at the time of this offering; and

 

    the recent market prices of, and the demand for, publicly traded shares of generally comparable companies.

Indemnification

We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, liabilities arising from breaches of the representations and warranties contained in the underwriting agreement, and to contribute to payments that the underwriters may be required to make for these liabilities.

Stabilization, Short Positions and Penalty Bids

The underwriters may engage in stabilizing transactions, short sales and purchases to cover positions created by short sales, and penalty bids or purchases for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of our common stock, in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act.

 

    Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum.

 

    A short position involves a sale by the underwriters of shares in excess of the number of shares the underwriters are obligated to purchase in the offering, which creates the syndicate short position. This short position may be either a covered short position or a naked short position. In a covered short position, the number of shares involved in the sales made by the underwriters in excess of the number of shares they are obligated to purchase is not greater than the number of shares that they may purchase by exercising their option to purchase additional shares. In a naked short position, the number of shares involved is greater than the number of shares in their option to purchase additional shares. The underwriters may close out any short position by either exercising their option to purchase additional shares and/or purchasing shares in the open market. In determining the source of shares to close out the short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase shares through their option to purchase additional shares. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there could be downward pressure on the price of the shares in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering.

 

131


Table of Contents
    Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the common stock in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions.

 

    Penalty bids permit the Representatives to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the common stock originally sold by the syndicate member is purchased in a stabilizing or syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions.

These stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our common stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the common stock. As a result, the price of the common stock may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market. These transactions may be effected on the NYSE or otherwise and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

Neither we nor any of the underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of our common stock. In addition, neither we nor any of the underwriters make any representation that the Representatives will engage in these stabilizing transactions or that any transaction, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

Electronic Distribution

A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on internet sites or through other online services maintained by one or more of the underwriters and/or selling group members participating in this offering, or by their affiliates. In those cases, prospective investors may view offering terms online and, depending upon the particular underwriter or selling group member, prospective investors may be allowed to place orders online. The underwriters may agree with us to allocate a specific number of shares for sale to online brokerage account holders. Any such allocation for online distributions will be made by the Representatives on the same basis as other allocations.

Other than the prospectus in electronic format, the information on any underwriter’s or selling group member’s website and any information contained in any other website maintained by an underwriter or selling group member is not part of the prospectus or the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, has not been approved and/or endorsed by us or any underwriter or selling group member in its capacity as underwriter or selling group member and should not be relied upon by investors in deciding whether to purchase any shares of common stock.

Stock Exchange

We intend to apply to list our shares of common stock on the NYSE under the symbol “FIVN.”

Discretionary Sales

The underwriters have informed us that they do not intend to confirm sales to discretionary accounts that exceed 5% of the total number of shares offered by them.

Stamp Taxes

If you purchase shares of common stock offered in this prospectus, you may be required to pay stamp taxes and other charges under the laws and practices of the country of purchase, in addition to the offering price listed on the cover page of this prospectus.

Relationships

The underwriters and their respective affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, financing and brokerage activities.

Certain of the underwriters and their affiliates have provided in the past to us and our affiliates and certain of our executive officers and may provide from time to time in the future certain commercial banking, financial

advisory, investment banking and other services for us and such affiliates and executive officers in the ordinary course of their business, including personal loans to certain of our executive officers, for which they have received and may continue to receive customary fees and commissions. In addition, from time to time, certain of the underwriters and their affiliates may effect transactions for their own account or the account of customers, and hold on behalf of themselves or their customers, long or short positions in our debt or equity securities or loans, and may do so in the future. In the ordinary course of their various business activities, the underwriters and their respective affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers, and such investment and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of the issuer. The underwriters and their respective affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or instruments and may at any time hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.

Selling Restrictions

European Economic Area

    to fewer than 100 or, if the Relevant Member State has implemented the relevant provision of the 2010 PD Amending Directive, 150, natural or legal persons (other than qualified investors as defined in the Prospectus Directive), as permitted under the Prospectus Directive, subject to obtaining the prior consent of the representatives; or

provided that no such offer of shares shall require the Company or the representatives to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive or supplement a prospectus pursuant to Article 16 of the Prospectus Directive.

Each person in a Relevant Member State who initially acquires any shares or to whom any offer is made will be deemed to have represented, acknowledged and agreed that it is a “qualified investor” within the meaning of the law in that Relevant Member State implementing Article 2(1)(e) of the Prospectus Directive. In the case of any shares being offered to a financial intermediary as that term is used in Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive, each such financial intermediary will be deemed to have represented, acknowledged and agreed that the shares acquired by it in the offer have not been acquired on a non-discretionary basis on behalf of, nor have they been acquired with a view to their offer or resale to, persons in circumstances which may give rise to an offer of any shares to the public other than their offer or resale in a Relevant Member State to qualified investors as so defined or in circumstances in which the prior consent of the representatives has been obtained to each such proposed offer or resale.

The Company, the representatives and their affiliates will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing representations, acknowledgements and agreements.

This prospectus has been prepared on the basis that any offer of shares in any Relevant Member State will be made pursuant to an exemption under the Prospectus Directive from the requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of shares. Accordingly any person making or intending to make an offer in that Relevant Member State of shares which are the subject of the offering contemplated in this prospectus may only do so in circumstances in which no obligation arises for the Company or any of the underwriters to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive in relation to such offer. Neither the Company nor the underwriters have authorized, nor do they authorize, the making of any offer of shares in circumstances in which an obligation arises for the Company or the underwriters to publish a prospectus for such offer.

EXPERTS

The consolidated financial statements of Five9, Inc. as of December 31, 2012 and 2013, and for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2013, have been included herein and in the registration statement in reliance upon the report of KPMG LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, appearing elsewhere herein, and upon the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing.

The financial statements of Face It, Corp., as of and for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012, included in this registration statement and prospectus have been audited by Moss Adams LLP, independent auditors, as stated in their report appearing in the Registration Statement. Such financial statements have been so included in reliance upon the report of such firm given upon their authority as experts in accounting and auditing.

CHANGE IN ACCOUNTANTS

(a)    Dismissal of Independent Auditors

We dismissed Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) as our independent auditors effective June 5, 2012. Deloitte issued an audit report, dated September 1, 2011, on our consolidated financial statements for the three years ended December 31, 2010. Deloitte did not perform any audit or issue any audit reports on our consolidated financial statements subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2010. Deloitte subsequently communicated its audit report should no longer be associated with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010. Deloitte has no outstanding audit reports associated with the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

During our fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and 2011, and the subsequent period, (i) there were no disagreements (as that term is used in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) between the Company and Deloitte on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Deloitte, would have caused Deloitte to originally make reference thereto in its report that should no longer be relied upon on our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010, and (ii) there were no “reportable events” as such term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K (a “Reportable Event”) other than a material error the Company communicated existed in its previously issued consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 that resulted in Deloitte’s communication that its audit report should no longer be associated with such consolidated financial statements and two material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting identified by Deloitte during its audit of our financial statements for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. With respect to the two material weaknesses, the Company did not have a sufficient number of accounting personnel with adequate technical expertise to ensure the preparation of its consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and the Company had design deficiencies in general computer controls. Our audit committee discussed the material weaknesses with Deloitte and the Company authorized Deloitte to respond fully to the inquiries of KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) concerning these material weaknesses.

We have provided Deloitte with a copy of the disclosures set forth under the heading “Change in Accountants” included in this prospectus and have requested that Deloitte furnish a letter addressed to the Securities Exchange Commission stating whether or not Deloitte agrees with statements related to them made by the Company under the heading “Change in Accountants” in this prospectus. A copy of that letter is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

(b)    Newly Appointed Independent Registered Public Accountant

We engaged KPMG as our independent registered public accounting firm effective June 18, 2012. The decision to change our principal independent registered public accounting firm was approved by our audit committee.

During our fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and 2011, and the subsequent period preceding our engagement of KPMG as our independent registered public accounting firm in June 2012, we did not consult with KPMG on matters that involved the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements or any other matter that was either the subject of a disagreement or Reportable Event disclosed above.

Our audit committee discussed the material error disclosed above in (a) with KPMG and the Company authorized KPMG to respond fully to the inquiries of Deloitte concerning the material error.

We remediated the material weaknesses disclosed above prior to December 31, 2012.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Five9, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Five9, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2013. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Five9, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2013, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

FIVE9, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Five9, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”) is a provider of cloud contact center software. The Company was incorporated in Delaware in 2001 and is headquartered in San Ramon, California. The Company has offices in Europe and Asia which primarily provide research, development and customer support services.

Basis of Presentation and Liquidity

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. As the Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), it can delay the adoption of new accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to privately-held companies. However, the Company has elected to comply with all new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth publicly-held companies. Under the JOBS Act, such election is irrevocable.

The Company has funded its operations since 2008 through convertible preferred stock financings with net proceeds totaling $53,734,000 through December 31, 2013, sales of its solution and debt financing under its credit and leasing agreements. However, the Company has historically incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $90,796,000. Management of the Company expects that operating losses and negative cash flows from operations will continue through at least December 31, 2014. The Company’s existing sources of liquidity include cash and cash equivalents of $17,748,000 as of December 31, 2013 and an additional $19,561,000 of net proceeds from a borrowing under a loan facility entered into in February 2014, with the ability to draw down an additional $10,000,000 from the same loan facility for up to one year. The amount of funding available under the Company’s line of credit at all times is subject to a borrowing capacity formula based on monthly recurring revenues and a dollar-based retention rate. The Company’s line of credit and notes payable require maintenance of a minimum cash balance of $5,500,000. The Company’s line of credit and loan facility entered in February 2014 include the occurrence of a material adverse event, as defined in the agreements and determined by the lender, as an event of default.

While management believes that the Company’s existing sources of liquidity are adequate to fund operations through at least December 31, 2014, the Company may need to curtail future discretionary expenses related to sales and marketing and administration under various scenarios if the planned registered initial public offering is not closed as expected. In addition, the Company may need to raise additional debt or equity financing to fund operations until it generates positive cash flows from profitable operations. There can be no assurance that such additional debt or equity financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all.

Unaudited Pro Forma Shareholders’ Deficit

In connection with the initial public offering of the Company’s common stock (the “IPO”), all of the Company’s outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock will automatically convert into shares of common stock. In addition, the Company’s outstanding convertible preferred stock warrants will automatically be converted into warrants to purchase common stock and the Company’s convertible preferred stock warrant liability will be reclassified to additional paid-in capital. The unaudited pro forma stockholders’ deficit information, as set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, gives effect to the automatic conversion of all outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock and reclassification of the carrying value of the convertible preferred stock warrant liability to additional paid-in capital as of December 31, 2013. The shares of common stock issuable and proceeds expected to be received in the IPO are excluded from such pro forma information.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The significant estimates made by management affect revenue, the allowance for doubtful accounts, intangible assets, including goodwill, loss contingencies, including the Company’s accrual for federal fees and sales tax liability, accrued liabilities, stock-based compensation, fair value calculations of the convertible preferred stock warrant liability, provision for income taxes and uncertain tax positions. Management periodically evaluates such estimates and they are adjusted prospectively based upon such periodic evaluation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Foreign Currency

The functional currency of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. For these subsidiaries, the monetary assets and liabilities are re-measured into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate as of the balance sheet date, and all non-monetary assets and liabilities are re-measured into U.S. dollars at historical exchange rates. Revenues and expenses are converted using average rates in effect on a monthly basis. Exchange gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions were not significant and are reported in other expense, net for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company deposits cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions that management believes are of high credit quality. Cash equivalents consist of money market funds and certificates of deposit with original maturities of three months or less, and are stated at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value. As of December 31, 2012 and 2013, the Company had restricted cash of $700,000 classified in other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, which related to a letter of credit issued to the Company’s landlord with respect to its lease obligation for its corporate offices. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had an additional $121,000 of restricted cash classified in other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet under a letter of credit related to an insurance policy. As of December 31, 2013, the Company was also required to maintain $5,500,000 in deposits in connection with its credit agreement with a lender as a compensating balance.

Short-Term Investments

The Company considers all investments with original maturities of more than three months but less than one year to be short-term investments. As of December 31, 2012, short-term investments consisted of certificates of deposit with a financial institution with original maturities of twelve months. The carrying values of all of the Company’s short-term investments approximate fair value. Interest and dividends are included in interest income when earned.

Concentration Risks

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and accounts receivable. A significant portion of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents is held at one large reputable financial institution. Amounts in excess of insured limits were $7,922,000 and $16,569,000 as of December 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

As of December 31, 2012 and 2013, no single client represented more than 10% of accounts receivable. For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, no single client represented more than 10% of revenue.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company records a provision for doubtful accounts based on historical experience and a detailed assessment of the collectability of its accounts receivable. In estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts, management considers, among other factors, the aging of the accounts receivable, historical write-offs and the

creditworthiness of each client. If circumstances change, such as higher-than-expected defaults or an unexpected material adverse change in a major client’s ability to meet its financial obligations, the Company’s estimate of the recoverability of the amounts due could be reduced by a material amount.

The following table presents the changes in the accounts receivable allowance for bad debt (in thousands):

Property and Equipment, Net

Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization, and is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Computer hardware, software and furniture and fixtures are depreciated over useful lives ranging from three to seven years, and leasehold improvements are depreciated over the respective lease term or useful life, whichever is shorter. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, and improvements and betterments are capitalized. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the consolidated balance sheet and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss in the period realized.

The Company evaluates the recoverability of property and equipment for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets or asset groups may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amounts to the future undiscounted cash flows the assets or asset groups are expected to generate. If such evaluation indicates that the carrying amount of the assets or asset groups is not recoverable, the carrying amount of such assets or asset groups is reduced to fair value. No impairment losses have been recognized in any of the periods presented.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The Company records goodwill when the consideration paid in a purchase acquisition exceeds the fair value of the net tangible assets and the identified intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but instead is required to be tested for impairment annually and under certain circumstances. The Company will perform testing for impairment of goodwill at the beginning of its fourth quarter, or as events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. A qualitative assessment is first made to determine whether it is necessary to perform quantitative testing. This initial assessment includes, among other things, consideration of: (i) past, current and projected future earnings and equity; (ii) recent trends and market conditions; and (iii) valuation metrics involving similar companies that are publicly-traded and acquisitions of similar companies, if available. If this initial qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that impairment exists, a second analysis will be performed, involving a comparison between the estimated fair values of the Company’s reporting unit with its respective carrying amount including goodwill. If the carrying value exceeds estimated fair value, there is an indication of potential impairment, and a third analysis is performed to measure the amount of impairment. The third analysis involves calculating an implied fair value of goodwill by measuring the excess of the estimated fair value of the reporting unit over the aggregate estimated fair values of the individual assets less liabilities. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of goodwill, an impairment charge is recorded for the excess.

Other intangible assets, consisting of acquired developed technology, domain names, customer relationships and non-compete agreements, are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. All other intangible assets have been determined to have definite lives and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated remaining economic lives, ranging from three to seven years. Amortization expense related to developed technology is included in cost of revenue. Amortization expense related to customer relationships is included in sales and marketing expense. Amortization expense related to domain names and non-compete agreements is included in general and administrative expense.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenue consists of subscription services and related usage as well as professional services. The Company charges clients monthly subscription fees for access to the Company’s solution. The monthly subscription fees are primarily based on the number of agent seats, as well as the specific Virtual Contact Center (“VCC”) functionalities and applications deployed by the client. Agent seats are defined as the maximum number of named agents allowed to concurrently access the VCC cloud platform. Clients typically have more named agents than agent seats. Multiple named agents may use an agent seat, though not simultaneously. Substantially all of the Company’s clients purchase both subscriptions and related usage. A small percentage of its clients subscribe to its platform but purchase telephony usage directly from a wholesale telecommunications service provider. The Company does not sell telephony usage on a stand-alone basis to any client. The related usage fees are based on the volume of minutes used for inbound and outbound client interactions. The Company also offers bundled plans, generally for smaller deployments, whereby the client is charged a single monthly fixed fee per agent seat that includes both subscription and unlimited usage in the contiguous 48 states and, in some cases, Canada. Professional services revenue is derived primarily from implementations, including application configuration, system integration, optimization, education and training services. Clients are not permitted to take possession of the Company’s software.

The Company offers both annual and monthly contracts to its clients, with 30 days’ notice required for changes in the number of agent seats. Larger clients typically choose annual contracts, which generally include an implementation and ramp period of several months. Fixed subscription fees (including bundled plans) are billed monthly in advance, while related usage fees are billed in arrears. Support activities include technical assistance for the Company’s solution and upgrades and enhancements to the VCC cloud platform on a when-and-if-available basis, which are not billed separately.

The Company generally requires advance deposits from its clients based on estimated usage when such usage is not billed as part of a bundled plan. Fees for usage are applied against the advance deposit resulting in continuous consumption and therefore requires frequent replenishment of the deposit. Any unused portion of the deposit is refundable to the client upon termination of the arrangement, provided all amounts due have been paid. All fees, except usage deposits, are non-refundable.

Professional services are primarily billed on a fixed-fee basis and are performed by the Company directly, or clients may also choose to perform these services themselves or engage their own third-party service providers.

The Company’s sales arrangements generally involve multiple deliverables, including subscription services and related usage as well as professional services, all of which have stand-alone value to the client. The Company allocates arrangement consideration to these deliverables based on the relative stand-alone selling price method in accordance with the selling price hierarchy, which includes: (i) Vendor Specific Objective Evidence (“VSOE”) if available; (ii) Third-Party Evidence (“TPE”) if VSOE is not available; and (iii) Best Estimate of Selling Price (“BESP”) if neither VSOE nor TPE is available.

VSOE. The Company determines VSOE based on its historical pricing and discounting practices for the specific service when sold separately. In determining VSOE, the Company requires that a substantial majority of the selling prices for these services fall within a reasonably narrow pricing range. The Company limits its assessment of VSOE for each element to either the price charged when the same element is sold separately or the price established by management, having the relevant authority to do so, for an element not yet sold separately. The Company has not met the criteria to establish selling prices based on VSOE.

TPE. When VSOE cannot be established for deliverables in multiple element arrangements, the Company applies judgment with respect to whether it can establish a selling price based on TPE. TPE is determined based on competitor prices for similar deliverables when sold separately. The Company’s services are significantly differentiated such that the comparable pricing of deliverables with similar functionality cannot be obtained. Furthermore, the Company is unable to reliably determine the stand-alone selling prices of similar deliverables sold by competitors. As a result, the Company has not met the criteria to establish selling prices based on TPE.

 

F-10


Table of Contents

BESP. Since the Company is unable to establish a selling price using VSOE or TPE, it uses BESP in its allocation of arrangement consideration. The objective of BESP is to determine the price at which the Company would transact a sale if the product or service were sold on a stand-alone basis. The Company determines BESP for deliverables by considering multiple factors including prices it charges for similar offerings, market conditions and the competitive landscape. The Company limits the amount of allocable arrangement consideration to amounts that are fixed or determinable and that are not contingent on future performance or future deliverables.

The Company recognizes revenue for each unit of accounting when all of the following criteria have been met:

 

    persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;

 

    delivery has occurred;

 

    the fee is fixed or determinable; and

 

    collection is reasonably assured.

Revenue allocated to the separate accounting units is recognized as follows:

 

    fixed subscription revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the applicable term, predominantly the monthly contractual billing period;

 

    variable usage revenue is recognized as actual usage occurs. Usage revenue in subscription arrangements that include bundled usage is recognized on a straight-line basis over the applicable term, as the Company cannot reliably estimate client usage patterns; and

 

    professional services revenue is recognized as services are performed using the proportional performance method, with performance measured based on labor hours, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria have been met.

At the time of each revenue transaction, the Company assesses whether fees under the arrangement are fixed or determinable and whether collection is reasonably assured. For arrangements where the fee is not fixed or determinable, the Company recognizes revenue as these amounts become due and payable. The Company assesses collection based on a number of factors, including past transaction history and the creditworthiness of the client. If the Company determines that collection of fees is not reasonably assured, it defers the revenue and recognizes revenue at such time when collection becomes reasonably assured, which is generally upon receipt of payment. The Company maintains a revenue reserve for potential credits to be issued in accordance with service level agreements or for other revenue adjustments. The revenue recognition standards include guidance relating to any tax assessed by a governmental authority that is directly imposed on a revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer and may include, but is not limited to, sales, use, value added and excise taxes. The Company records amounts billed to its clients for United Services Fund (“USF”) contributions and other regulatory costs on a gross basis in its consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and records surcharges and sales, use and excise taxes billed to its clients on a net basis. The cost of gross USF contributions payable to the Universal Services Administration Company (“USAC”) and suppliers is presented as a cost of revenue in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Surcharges and sales, use and excise taxes incurred in excess of amounts billed to the Company’s clients are presented in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue consists primarily of fees that the Company pays to telecommunications providers for usage, personnel costs (including stock-based compensation), taxes due to federal agencies on usage fees, costs associated with the Company’s data centers, equipment and related costs, amortization of acquired technology and allocated facility costs. Personnel costs included as part of cost of revenue include those associated with support of the Company’s solution, clients and data center operations, as well as with providing professional services. Data center costs include costs to build out and setup, as well as colocation fees for the right to place the Company’s services in data centers owned by third parties.

 

F-11


Table of Contents

Research and Development

Research and development expenses consist primarily of costs associated with personnel (including stock-based compensation), third-party contractors and allocated facility costs. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The Company reviews development costs incurred for internal-use software in the application development stage and assesses costs for capitalization. As of December 31, 2013, capitalized costs were not material.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and were $2,951,000, $4,699,000 and $7,296,000 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively.

Commissions

Commissions consist of variable compensation earned by sales personnel. Sales commissions associated with the acquisition or renewal of a client contract are recognized as sales and marketing expense as incurred.

Stock-Based Compensation

All stock-based compensation granted to employees and directors is measured as the grant date fair value of the award and recognized as an expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Compensation expense is recognized using the straight-line method net of estimated forfeitures.

Compensation expense for stock options granted to non-employees is calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and is recognized as an expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss over the service period on a straight-line basis. Compensation expense for non-employee stock options subject to vesting is revalued as of each reporting date until the stock options are vested.

The fair value of restricted stock awards is equal to the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

Convertible Preferred Stock Warrant liability

Freestanding convertible preferred stock warrants with provisions that potentially adjust the number of shares to be issued on settlement are classified as a liability on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The convertible preferred stock warrant liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date, and any change in fair value is recognized as a component of other expense, net. The Company will continue to adjust the liability for changes in fair value until the earlier of (i) the exercise or expiration of the warrants or (ii) the conversion of preferred stock into common stock which may occur automatically upon closing of a registered public offering for common stock or upon election by preferred stockholders, at which time all convertible preferred stock warrants will be converted into warrants to purchase common stock and the liability will be reclassified to additional paid-in capital.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount of future tax benefit that is more likely than not to be realized. As of December 31, 2012 and 2013, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets because of its history of operating losses. The Company classifies interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense.

Deferred Offering Costs

Deferred offering costs consisted primarily of accounting and legal fees related to the Company’s proposed IPO. There were $2,179,000 of deferred offering costs included in other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013. Upon completion of the IPO contemplated herein, these amounts will be recorded as a reduction of stockholders’ equity as an offset against the proceeds of the offering. If the offering is terminated, the deferred offering costs will be expensed.

Net Loss Per Share

The Company applies the two-class method to calculate basic and diluted net loss per share of common stock as shares of convertible preferred stock are participating securities due to their dividend rights. The two-class method is an earnings allocation method under which earnings per share is calculated for common stock considering a participating security’s rights to undistributed earnings as if all such earnings had been distributed during the period. The Company’s participating securities are not included in the computation of net loss per share in periods of net loss because the preferred shareholders have no contractual obligation to participate in losses.

Indemnification

Certain of the Company’s agreements with clients include provisions for indemnification against liabilities if its services infringe a third-party’s intellectual property rights. To date, the Company has not incurred any material costs as a result of such indemnification provisions and the Company has not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2012 or 2013.

Segment Information

The Company has determined that its Chief Executive Officer is its chief operating decision maker. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of assessing performance and making decisions on how to allocate resources. Accordingly, the Company has determined that it operates in a single reportable segment.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-02 “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” ASU No. 2013-02 requires an entity to disaggregate the total change of each component of other comprehensive income either on the face of the income statement or as a separate disclosure in the notes. The new guidance became effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012 and is applied prospectively. The Company adopted this guidance during the year ended December 31, 2013, and the adoption did not have any impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In July 2013, the FASB issued a new accounting standard update on the financial statement presentation of unrecognized tax benefits. The new guidance provides that a liability related to an unrecognized tax benefit would be presented as a reduction of a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward if such settlement is required or expected in the event the uncertain tax position is disallowed. The new guidance becomes effective for the Company on January 1, 2014 and it should be applied prospectively to unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date with retrospective application permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this new guidance.

 

2. Acquisition of Face It, Corp.

On October 18, 2013 (the “Acquisition Date”), the Company completed its acquisition of Face It, Corp., a social engagement and mobile client care solution provider, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”). In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Agreement, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity securities of Face It, Corp. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codifications Topic 805, “Business Combinations”. The Company intends to integrate Face It, Corp. and its technology to add social engagement and mobile client care applications to its solution.

The purchase price consisted of $2,964,000 of cash, 5,691,000 shares of common stock valued at $12,064,000, of which 1,213,000 shares were withheld in escrow; and 87,000 stock options with a total fair value of $115,000, of which $4,000 was allocated to the purchase price and $111,000 was allocated to post-combination stock-based compensation. Escrow shares were withheld in order to indemnify the Company from certain losses that may arise from any inaccuracies or breach of any of Face It, Corp.’s covenants, representations and warranties as of the Acquisition Date and were not treated as contingent consideration.

The total purchase price was allocated to the net assets acquired based upon their fair values as of the Acquisition Date as set forth below. The excess of the purchase price over the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The goodwill represents Face It, Corp.’s assembled workforce, its know-how and the business development initiatives that allow Face It, Corp. to acquire new customers, create new technologies and generate revenue. Goodwill is not deductible for U.S. tax purposes. The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the Acquisition Date (in thousands):

Upon the acquisition, the Company hired or contracted certain Face It, Corp.’s employees, including Face It, Corp.’s three founders (the “Founders”). In connection with the employment and service agreements, the Company issued 474,000 non-vested shares of restricted common stock to the Founders that are contingent upon continuing employment or services and therefore excluded from the purchase price of the acquisition (Note 7).

The fair values of the acquired intangible assets were determined using Level 3 inputs which are not observable in the market (Note 3). Details related to estimated useful lives and the valuation techniques utilized for estimating fair value of the intangible assets acquired are shown below:

3. Fair Value Measurements

The Company carries certain financial assets and liabilities consisting of money market funds, certificates of deposit and its convertible preferred stock warrant liability at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is based on the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:

Level 1 — Observable inputs which include unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are based on management’s assumptions, including fair value measurements determined by using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques.

The fair value of assets and liabilities carried at fair value was determined using the following inputs (in thousands):

The Company acquired intangible assets of $3,170,000 in connection with its acquisition of Face It, Corp. in October 2013. The fair value of the intangible assets acquired was determined using level 3 inputs. Key assumptions include the level and timing of expected future cash flows, and discount rates consistent with the level of risk and the economy in general. If the income projections increase or decrease, the fair value of the intangible assets would increase or decrease accordingly, in amounts that will vary based on the timing of the projected revenue and the discount rate used to calculate the present value of the expected income.

6. Long-term Debt

Loan and Security Agreement

In March 2013, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement (“Loan and Security Agreement”) with a lender for a revolving line of credit (the “Credit Facility”) of up to $12,500,000. The Loan and Security Agreement is collateralized by substantially all the tangible assets of the Company. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the balance outstanding cannot exceed the lesser of (i) $12,500,000 or (ii) an amount equal to the Company’s monthly recurring revenue for the three months prior multiplied by the average Dollar-Based Retention Rate over the prior twelve months, less the amount accrued for the Company’s USF obligation (accrued federal fees). The Credit Facility carries a variable annual interest rate of the prime rate (3.25% as of December 31, 2013) plus 1.25% and matures in March 2015. As of December 31, 2013, the full amount available under the Revolving Line of $12,500,000 was outstanding.

In connection with the Company’s acquisition of Face It, Corp., the Company amended its Loan and Security Agreement and borrowed an additional $5,000,000 under a term loan (the “Term Loan”) to be used for acquisition-related costs. Monthly interest-only payments are due on the advance at the prime rate plus 1.50% through September 2014. Principal and interest payments are due in equal monthly installments from October 2014 through the maturity of the Term Loan in March 2017. In connection with the Term Loan, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 52,000 shares of its Series D-2 convertible preferred stock at an exercise price of $1.44 a share. The fair value of this warrant of $85,000 was recorded as a discount against the debt and is being recognized as additional interest expense over the term of the loan.

The Loan and Security Agreement contains certain covenants, including the requirement that the Company maintain $5,500,000 of cash deposited with the lender for the term of the Loan and Security Agreement. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of December 31, 2013. The Loan and Security Agreement remains senior to other debt, including debt issued subsequently.

Promissory Note

In July 2013, the Company entered into a promissory note with the USAC for $4,075,000 as a financing arrangement for that amount of accrued federal fees. The promissory note carries a fixed annual interest rate of 12.75% and is repayable in 42 equal monthly installments of principal and interest payments beginning in August 2013. As of December 31, 2013, $3,679,000 of this promissory note was outstanding and is included as notes payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet (Note 10).

Equipment Financing Line

In February 2010, the Company entered into an equipment loan agreement (“Equipment Loan Agreement”) with a lender for the purposes of financing up to $1,700,000 of its capital equipment needs. Each borrowing against this facility is payable monthly over a three-year period and is collateralized by the specific assets financed by the funds drawn. Interest owed pursuant to each borrowing is determined by the specific monthly loan rate factor in effect for the individual borrowing, which factor is indexed to the yield for U.S. Treasury notes maturing closest to the date 36 months from the commencement of the loan. The monthly loan rate factor in effect at the initial borrowing in February 2010 was 3.33%. In connection with the Equipment Loan Agreement, the lender was issued warrants to purchase 521,000 shares of the Company’s Series A-2 convertible preferred stock (Note 7–Warrant F).

In June 2010, the Equipment Loan Agreement was amended and the available loan amount was increased from $1,700,000 to $2,200,000 with the same terms and conditions as originally set forth. The full loan amount available under the Equipment Loan Agreement was drawn during 2010 and 2011. The principal balance outstanding as of December 31, 2012 and 2013 was $431,000 and $16,000, respectively. These balances are included as notes payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. In connection with the amendment to the Equipment Loan Agreement, the lender was issued warrants to purchase 153,000 shares of the Company’s Series A-2 convertible preferred stock (Note 7–Warrant G).

The holders of the Company’s convertible preferred stock have the following rights, preferences and privileges:

Liquidation — In the event of liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, either voluntary or involuntary, the holders of Series A-2, Series B-2, Series C-2 and Series D-2 are entitled to receive, on an equal priority pari passu basis, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets or surplus funds of the Company to the holders of common stock, an amount per share equal to $0.16, $0.43, $0.93 and $1.44, respectively (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications and like events), and any declared but unpaid dividends. After the holders of convertible preferred stock have received their preference, any remaining assets would be distributed ratably to the holders of convertible preferred stock and common stock on a pro rata and as converted to common stock basis. If upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, the assets available for distribution are insufficient to pay the liquidation preference in full, then the entire proceeds legally available for distribution will be distributed ratably among the holders of the convertible preferred stock in proportion to the full preferential amount that each such holder is otherwise entitled to receive.

A liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company is deemed to have occurred by any merger or consolidation of the Company in which its stockholders immediately prior to the transaction do not retain a majority of the voting power in the surviving corporation, or a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.

Conversion — Each share of Series A-2, Series B-2, Series C-2 and Series D-2 is convertible at the option of the holder thereof into the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock that results from dividing the original issue price by the conversion price in effect at the time of the conversion, subject to adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications and like events. For all series of convertible preferred stock, the conversion price is equal to the original issuance price such that the conversion ratio to common stock is 1:1 as of all periods presented. All series of convertible preferred stock will automatically convert upon the earlier of (i) a firm commitment underwritten IPO of the Company’s common stock where gross proceeds raised by the Company equal or exceed $35,000,000 at a per share price equal to or greater than $2.88 per share (appropriately adjusted) or (ii) the consent of holders holding at least 60% of each series of convertible preferred stock.

The issuance price of each series of convertible preferred stock exceeded the fair value of common stock on the date of issuance and there have been no subsequent adjustments to the conversion prices in the periods presented. Accordingly, no beneficial conversion amounts, measured as the intrinsic value of the conversion feature as of the issuance date, have resulted from issuances of convertible preferred stock.

Voting — The holders of each share of the Company’s convertible preferred stock shall have the right to one vote for each share of common stock into which such convertible preferred stock could be converted. The holders of the Series A-2 have the right to elect two members of the board of directors, so long as at least 5,000,000 shares remain outstanding. The holders of the Series B-2 and Series D-2 each have the right to elect one member of the board of directors, so long as at least 1,000,000 shares remain outstanding of each series, respectively. The preferred stockholders, voting together as a class, are entitled to elect two members of the board of directors. The common stockholders are entitled to elect one member of the board of directors. Three members of the board of directors will be elected by the holders of a majority of the convertible preferred stock, voting as a separate class, and the holders of a majority of the common stock, voting as a separate class.

Dividends — The holders of shares of Series A-2, Series B-2, Series C-2 and Series D-2 are entitled to receive non-cumulative dividends equal to $0.016, $0.043, $0.093 and $0.144 per share, respectively, per annum (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassification and like events) when and if declared by the board of directors and on an equal pari passu basis, in preference to any dividend on shares of common stock. No dividends have been declared to date.

The Company estimates the fair value of each warrant on the date of issuance and at each reporting date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and using the assumptions noted in the below table. Expected volatility is based upon the historical and implied volatility of a peer group of publicly traded companies. The expected term of warrants represents the contractual term of the warrants. The risk-free rate for the expected term of the warrants is based on the U.S. Treasury Constant Maturity at the time of issuance. The fair value of the convertible preferred stock warrants at each valuation date was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

 

     December 31,
     2012   2013

Fair value of Series A-2

In connection with the closing of the IPO, each of the convertible preferred stock warrants automatically convert into a warrant to purchase shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis.

Common Stock

Common Stock — At December 31, 2013, there were 200,000,000 shares of common stock authorized, and 21,975,000 shares issued and outstanding. Holders of common stock are entitled to dividends, if and when declared by the board of directors.

Common Stock Subject to Repurchase or Forfeiture — In connection with the employment and service agreements related to the Company’s acquisition of Face It, Corp. (Note 2), the Company issued 474,000 shares of non-vested restricted common stock that are contingent upon continuing employment or services and subject to forfeiture. The forfeiture rights lapse 50% on the first anniversary following the Acquisition Date and an additional 50% on the second anniversary following the Acquisition Date. These shares were valued at $1,005,000, based on the Acquisition Date fair value of the Company’s common stock. This amount is being recorded as stock-based compensation on a straight-line basis over the two-year requisite service period. The

474,000 shares that are subject to forfeiture are included in issued and outstanding shares as of December 31, 2013. For the year ended December 31, 2013, $155,000 was included as stock-based compensation expense related to these shares.

In addition, the Company has the right to repurchase, at the original exercise price, unvested common shares pursuant to early exercise provisions upon termination of service of an employee. The consideration received for an exercise of an option is considered to be a deposit of the exercise price, and the related dollar amount recorded as a liability. The liability is reclassified as the award vests. The Company has recorded a liability in accrued liabilities of $100,000 related to 60,000 options that were exercised and are unvested at December 31, 2013. These 60,000 exercised but unvested shares that are subject to a repurchase right held by the Company are included in issued and outstanding shares as of December 31, 2013.

Common Stock Warrants — As of December 31, 2012 and 2013, the Company had outstanding warrants to purchase 31 shares of its common stock with an exercise price of $950 per share, which expire on various dates between 2016 and 2017.

Stock Option Plans 

The Company currently has options issued under the Amended and Restated 2004 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2004 Plan”). The 2004 Plan was adopted in June 2004 and most recently amended in November 2013 to increase the total stock options available for issuance to 47,531,000 to eligible employees, non-employee consultants and directors. Under the terms of the 2004 Plan, the Company has the ability to grant incentive and nonstatutory stock options. Incentive stock options may be granted only to Company employees. Nonstatutory stock options may be granted to Company employees, directors and consultants. Such options are to be exercisable at prices, as determined by the board of directors, generally equal to the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant and have a term of 10 years. Options granted to employees generally vest over a four-year period, with an initial vesting period of 12 months for 25% of the grant and the remaining 75% of the shares vesting monthly on a ratable basis over the remaining 36 months. Options are exercisable for a maximum period of 10 years after the grant date. Options are exercisable upon vesting and vested options generally expire 90 days after termination of the optionee’s employment or relationship as a consultant or director, unless otherwise extended by the terms of the stock option agreement. Any unvested options or vested but unexercised options are returned to the Company.

As of December 31, 2013, there were options outstanding to purchase 30,534,000 shares of common stock under the 2004 Plan. As of December 31, 2013, 1,217,000 options were available for issuance under the 2004 Plan.

As of December 31, 2013, there was $12,176,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.5 years.

Stock-Based Awards to Employees — All stock-based compensation granted to employees and directors is measured at the grant date fair value of the award. The Company estimated the fair value of its common stock utilizing periodic contemporaneous valuations prepared by an independent third-party appraiser based upon several factors, including its operating and financial performance, progress and milestones attained in its business, and past sales of convertible preferred stock.

The Company estimates the fair value of each option award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and using the assumptions noted in the below table. Expected volatility is based upon the historical volatility of a peer group of publicly traded companies. The expected term of options granted is estimated by taking the average of the vesting term and the contractual term of the option. The risk-free rate for the expected term of the options is based on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues at the time of grant. The assumptions used to value options granted during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013 were as follows:

 

     Year Ended December 31,  
     2011     2012     2013  

Expected term (years)

     6.1        5.0 to 6.1        5.0 to 6.1   

Volatility

     66.0     60.0     59.0% to 60.0

Risk-free interest rate

     1.2% to 2.5     0.7% to 1.1     1.0% to 1.8

Dividend yield

                     

The Company recognized employee stock-based compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, which was calculated based upon awards ultimately expected to vest, and thus, this expense was reduced for estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

Stock-Based Awards to Non-employees — The Company granted options to purchase shares of common stock to non-employees in conjunction with services performed. For non-employees the Company revalues the unvested portion of stock-based compensation using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model until performance is complete. As a result, the stock-based compensation will fluctuate as the fair value of the Company’s common stock fluctuates. During the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, the Company granted options to purchase 1,278,000, 7,000 and 199,000 shares of common stock, respectively, to non-employees in conjunction with services performed. These options were valued at $120,000, $2,000 and $289,000 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively, at the time of issuance. The assumptions used to value options granted to non-employees during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013 are as follows:

 

     Year Ended December 31,  
     2011     2012     2013

Risk-free interest rate

     1.3% to 2.4     1.7     1.8% to 2.9

Dividend yield

                     

For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, stock-based compensation expense to non-employees was $248,000, $59,000 and $76,000 respectively, and is included in total stock-based compensation expense in the table above.

In January 2012, in connection with a change in status from non-employee to employee, 876,000 options granted as non-employee awards commenced being accounted for as employee awards.

8. Net Loss Per Share and Unaudited Pro Forma Net Loss Per Share

Net Loss Per Share

The Company calculates its basic and diluted net loss per common share in conformity with the two-class method required for participating securities. Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, and excludes any dilutive effects of employee stock-based awards and warrants. Diluted net income per share is computed giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares, including common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants. As the Company had net losses for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, all potential common shares were determined to be anti-dilutive.

The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share (in thousands):

Unaudited Pro Forma Net Loss Per Share

Pro forma basic and diluted net loss per share was computed to give effect to the conversion of the Series A-2, Series B-2, Series C-2 and Series D-2 convertible preferred stock using the as-if converted method into common shares as though the conversion had occurred as of the beginning of the period or the original date of issuance, if later. Also, the numerator has been adjusted to reverse the fair value adjustments related to the convertible preferred stock warrants as they will become warrants to purchase common stock and at such time will no longer require periodic revaluation.

A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets where the recoverability of the assets is uncertain. The determination to provide a valuation allowance is dependent upon the assessment of whether it is more likely than not that sufficient future taxable income will be generated to utilize the deferred tax assets. Based on the weight of the available evidence, which includes the Company’s historical operating losses, lack of taxable income, and the accumulated deficit, the Company provided a full valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $68,356,000 for federal income taxes and $35,752,000 for state income taxes. If not utilized, these carryforwards will begin to expire in 2024 for federal purposes and 2014 for state purposes.

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had research and development credit carryforwards of approximately $1,031,000 and $842,000 for federal and state income taxes, respectively. If not utilized, the federal carryforwards will begin to expire in various amounts beginning in 2024. The state tax credit can be carried forward indefinitely.

Internal Revenue Code Section 382 limits the use of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards in certain situations where changes occur in the stock ownership of a company. Currently, the utilization of the net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards is restricted under Internal Revenue Code Section 382. In the event that the Company has a change of ownership, utilization of the net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards may be further restricted.

The Company recognizes in the consolidated financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position.

Universal Services Fund Liability

During the third quarter of 2012, the Company determined that based on its business activities, it is classified as a telecommunications service provider for regulatory purposes and it should make direct contributions to the USF based on revenues it receives from the resale of interstate and international telecommunications services. Previously, the Company had believed that the telecommunications services were an integral part of an information service that the Company provides via its software and had instead made indirect USF contributions via payments to its wholesale telecommunications service providers. In order to comply with the obligation to make direct contributions, the Company has made a voluntary self-disclosure to the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) Enforcement Bureau and has registered with the Universal Service Administrative Company (“USAC”), which is charged by the FCC with administering the USF. The Company has filed exemption certificates with its wholesale telecommunications service providers in order to eliminate its obligation to reimburse such wholesale telecommunications service providers for their USF contributions calculated on services sold to the Company.

The Company’s registration with USAC subjects it to assessments for unpaid USF contributions, as well as interest thereon, due to its late registration and reporting of revenues. The Company will be required to pay assessments for periods prior to the Company’s registration. While the Company is in discussions with the FCC to limit such back assessments to the period 2008 through 2012, it is possible that it will be required to pay back

 

F-29


Table of Contents

assessments for the period from 2003 through 2007. The Company will also face a regulatory and contractual challenge in seeking recovery or credit for its USF reimbursement payments previously made to its wholesale telecommunications service providers of up to $3,129,000 as of December 31, 2012 and 2013. Finally, the Company is exposed to the potential assessment by the FCC of monetary penalties due to its past failure to recognize its obligation as a USF contributor. The Company believes it may be able to reduce such penalties as a result of the Company’s voluntary self-disclosure.

In July 2013, the Company and USAC agreed to a financing arrangement for the undisputed portion of the unpaid USF contributions and related interest for the periods 2008 through 2012 whereby the Company issued to USAC a promissory note payable in the amount of $4,075,000. The repayment terms of the promissory note payable are disclosed in Note 6. As of December 31, 2013, the balance of the promissory note payable was $3,679,000 and included in the notes payable amounts on the consolidated balance sheets. In addition to the promissory note payable, the Company had an accrued liability for USF contributions and related interest and penalties of $8,104,000 and $4,206,000 included in accrued federal fees on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively, of which $803,000 pertains to periods prior to 2008. For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, the Company incurred expenses related to its USF obligations of $1,991,000, $3,245,000 and $3,873,000, respectively, which was recorded as a charge to cost of revenue. No amounts related to the potential recovery or credit of USF contributions paid by the Company to its wholesale telecommunications service providers were recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

State and Local Taxes and Surcharges

During 2011, the Company conducted an analysis of the taxability of sales of its subscription services. It was determined that the Company’s activities may be asserted by a number of states to create nexus and thus an obligation to collect sales taxes on sales of subscriptions to clients in certain states. Prior to April 2012, the Company did not collect sales taxes related to these sales from its clients. In April 2012, the Company commenced collecting and remitting sales taxes on sales of subscription services in all applicable states. As of December 31, 2012 and 2013, the Company had an accrued sales tax liability related to its sales of subscriptions of $105,000 and $98,000, respectively.

During 2013, the Company further analyzed its activities and determined it may be obligated to collect and remit various state and local taxes and surcharges on its usage-based fees. The Company has not remitted state and local taxes on usage-based fees in any of the periods presented. As of December 31, 2012 and 2013, the Company accrued a sales tax liability for this contingency of $3,195,000 and $5,350,000, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, the Company recorded general and administrative expense related to its estimated sales tax liability on usage-based fees of $1,588,000, $1,607,000 and $2,155,000, respectively. The Company’s estimate of the probable loss incurred under this contingency is based on analysis of the source location of its usage-based fees and the regulations and rules in each state.

Legal Matters

The Company is involved in various legal and regulatory matters arising from the normal course of business activities. In management’s opinion, resolution of these matters is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, cash flows, or its financial position. However, depending on the nature and timing of any such dispute, an unfavorable resolution of a matter could materially affect the Company’s future consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position in a particular period.

The Company recognizes general and administrative expense for legal fees in the period the services are provided.

Patent Infringement Lawsuit

The Company is currently involved in one lawsuit as a defendant. In April 2012, a telecom solutions company named the Company in a patent infringement lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas seeking a permanent injunction, damages and attorneys’ fees. The Company responded to the complaint and preliminary injunction request by asserting non-infringement and invalidity of the patent. In March 2013, the

Table of Contents

court granted the Company’s motion to transfer the case to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The Company has investigated the claims alleged in the complaint and believes that it has good defenses to the claims, and has not accrued a loss related to this matter as the Company does not believe that it is probable that a loss will be incurred.

Indemnification Agreements

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may provide indemnifications of varying scope and terms to clients, vendors, lessors, business partners and other parties with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of breach of such agreements, services to be provided by the Company or from intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors, officers and certain employees that will require the Company, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors, officers or employees. No demands have been made upon the Company to provide indemnification under such agreements and thus there are no claims that the Company is aware of that could have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, or consolidated statements of cash flows.

 

11. Retirement Plans

The Company has a 401(k) plan to provide tax deferred salary deductions for all eligible employees. Participants may make voluntary contributions to the 401(k) plan, limited by certain Internal Revenue Service restrictions. The Company is responsible for the administrative costs of the 401(k) plan. The Company does not match employee contributions.

 

12. Related-Party Transactions

One of the Company’s directors had a minority ownership interest in one of the Company’s data warehousing vendors. The Company incurred expenses to this vendor of $459,000 and $265,000 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2013. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had $2,000 outstanding to this vendor included in accounts payable on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

 

13. Geographical Information

Revenue by geographical location has been determined based on client billing address and has been estimated based on the amounts billed to clients during the period.

14. Subsequent Events

In January 2014, the Company received a formal letter of demand notice from the Philippine Bureau of Internal Revenue (“BIR”) related to investigation of income tax liabilities for calendar year 2010. The BIR has assessed the Company approximately $320,000 related to this matter. The Company is currently in the process of protesting such demand letter and based on the facts, circumstances and suitable documentary evidence to dispute the BIR’s position, resolution of this matter is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, cash flows or its financial position. The Company believes that the possibility of loss is not probable and estimable and accordingly no provision for the same has been recorded as of December 31, 2013.

In January 2014, the Company modified its corporate office lease to expand its existing space for an additional commitment of $615,000 over the term of the original lease.

In February 2014, the Company’s board of directors granted options to purchase a total of 426,000 shares of common stock with a total fair value of $681,000.

In February 2014, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement with two lenders in a syndicate for a term loan of up to $30,000,000. At closing, the Company borrowed $19,561,000 under the term loan, net of $439,000 in debt costs, with the remaining $10,000,000 available to be borrowed until February 2015. The term loan bears interest at a variable per annum rate equal to the greater of 10% or LIBOR plus 9%. Interest is due and payable on the last business day of each month during the term of the loan. Monthly principal payments will be due beginning in February 2016 based on 1/60th of the outstanding balance at that time and continue until all remaining principal outstanding under the term loan are due and payable in February 2019. The term loan is secured by all assets of the Company and is subordinate to the Company’s Loan and Security Agreement (Note 6). In connection with the loan and security agreement, the Company issued warrants for 711,462 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $2.53 per share.

We have evaluated subsequent events from the balance sheet date through March 3, 2014, the date at which the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2013 were available to be issued.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

FACE IT, CORP.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2012 AND 2011

AND THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 AND 2012 (UNAUDITED)

 

 

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Face It, Corp. (also doing business as SoCoCare, Hyfiniti, Hold-Free Networks, and InAppCare – collectively, the “Company”), was incorporated in the state of Nevada as Face It, Inc. in 2009. The Company later changed the name of the business to Face It, Corp. The Company develops and markets cloud-based customer contact solutions focused on social media and mobile applications to provide sophisticated customer interactions and provide users with useful analytics to enhance the customer experience. The Company is headquartered in San Diego, California, and began operations in April 2009 and exited the development stage in 2012.

Basis of Presentation — The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP).

Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Certain Significant Risks and Uncertainties — The Company is subject to those risks common in technology-driven markets, including, but not limited to, ability to obtain additional financing, advances and trends in new technologies and industry standards, changes in certain strategic relationships or customer relationships, market acceptance of the Company’s products, litigation or other claims against the Company, the hiring, training, and retention of key employees, new product introductions by competitors, and regulatory environment.

Unaudited Interim Financial Information — The accompanying balance sheet and statement of stockholders’ equity (deficit) as of September 30, 2013, and the statements of operations, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2013 are unaudited. The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2013 and results of operations and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2013. The financial data and the other information disclosed in these notes to the financial statements related to the nine month period is unaudited. The results of the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013 or for any other interim period or other future year.

Cash — Cash consists of cash maintained in checking and savings accounts.

Concentration of Credit Risk — Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. A significant portion of the Company’s cash is held at one large reputable financial institution. Amounts in excess of insured limits were $2,600,000 and $900,000 as of December 31, 2011 and 2012, respectively. There was no amount in excess of insured limits as of September 30, 2013 (unaudited). The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company sells its services mostly to customers in North America.

Property and Equipment, net — Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, and improvements and betterments are capitalized. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the balance sheet and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the statement of operations in the period realized. The Company’s fixed assets consist primarily of furniture and fixtures and are depreciated over their useful life of five years.

Revenue Recognition —The Company’s revenue consists of license, subscription and related usage as well as professional services. Revenue from subscription and related usage consists of fixed plan subscription fees for the delivery and support of the Company’s hosted services through one of its main platforms: SoCoCare, InAppCare, and Hold-Free Networks, and variable usage-based fees. Professional services revenue may include development, implementation and training services.

The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following criteria have been met:

 

    Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;

 

    Delivery has occurred;

 

    The fee is fixed or determinable; and

 

    Collection is reasonably assured.

Access to and support for the Company’s platforms are based on monthly user-based subscription fees, varying based on specific functionalities and services. Fixed subscription fees are primarily billed in advance on a monthly basis, while related usage fees are billed monthly in arrears. Support services include technical assistance for the Company’s solution and upgrades and enhancements on a when-and-if available basis, which are not billed separately.

In cases where the developed software functions exclusively within the Company’s hosted environment or when the customer has not taken title to the developed software (“Software-as-a- Service”, or “SaaS arrangements”), subscription fees are recognized ratably over the applicable term and variable usage-based

 

F-39


Table of Contents

fees are recognized as incurred. Typically, subscriptions automatically renew unless prior notice of cancellation is given by the customer. These fees are non-refundable, with the exception of some cases where credits may be given against usage-based fees for unplanned downtime. The Company does not have a history of providing such credits, so no reserve has been established.

At the time of each revenue transaction, the Company assesses whether fees under the arrangement are fixed or determinable and whether collection is reasonably assured. The Company assesses collection based on a number of factors, including past transaction history with the customer and the creditworthiness of the customer. If the Company determines that collection of fees is not reasonably assured, it defers the revenue and recognizes revenue at the time collection becomes reasonably assured, which is generally upon receipt of payment.

The Company’s subscription service arrangements may involve multiple deliverables, including hosted services and related usage, which have stand-alone value to the customer, and professional services most commonly consisting of implementation and training. The Company has concluded that the implementation and training services do not have stand-alone value to the customer and are considered one unit of accounting.

For SaaS arrangements, the Company allocates revenue to the separate accounting units as follows:

 

    Fixed subscription revenue is recognized on a straight line basis over the applicable term, generally contractual monthly terms;

 

    Variable usage revenue is recognized as actual usage occurs as there is no additional obligation to the Company when billed;

 

    Professional services are recognized at the longer of the contractual term or estimated customer relationship period as these services do not have stand-alone value to the customer.

When contracts include acceptance clauses or when the Company has agreed to deliver software that is not yet generally available or requires further development prior to delivery, the Company defers all revenue under the arrangement until all products have been delivered and accepted by the customer.

The Company typically includes a warranty provision in its contracts for the functionality of the hosted solutions and workmanship of professional services. The Company does not have a history of claims under its warranty provision, and accordingly, has not recorded a warranty reserve.

Cost of Revenue — Costs of revenue consists primarily of payments to third-party providers for leases of data centers and servers, personnel costs associated with customer care and support of the Company’s solution and data center operations, and for those employees providing application configuration, system integration, and education and training services to customers.

Research and Development — Research and development expenses include costs associated with the maintenance and ongoing development of the Company’s technology, including compensation and employee benefits associated with the Company’s engineering and research and development departments,

 

F-40


Table of Contents

as well as costs for contracted services, supplies, and allocated facility costs. The Company reviews costs incurred in the application development stage and assesses such costs for capitalization. As of September 30, 2013, there were no capitalized costs.

Sales and Marketing — Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of compensation and employee benefits of sales and marketing personnel and related support teams, certain advertising costs, travel, trade shows, marketing materials, and allocated facility costs.

General and Administrative — General and administrative expenses include facility costs, executive and administrative compensation and benefits, depreciation, professional service fees, insurance costs, and other general overhead costs.

Advertising Costs — The Company advertises its services primarily via online advertising. Costs associated with these advertising efforts are expensed as incurred in selling and marketing expense on the accompanying statements of operations, and were $23,000 and $4,000 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012, respectively, and $4,000 (unaudited) and $3,000 (unaudited) for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2013, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation — The Company measures compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards, including stock options granted to employees, based on the estimated fair values on the date of grant. The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Stock-based compensation is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, net of estimated forfeitures.

Common Stock Warrants — Freestanding and detachable warrants are valued based on their respective fair value or relative fair value on the issuance dates, estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. These warrants have been evaluated and classified as equity on the Company’s balance sheets.

Beneficial Conversion Features — Embedded conversion features that are in-the-money at the date of issuance are measured at intrinsic value and recorded as a reduction in the carrying amount of the related instrument and amortized as additional interest expense through the maturity date or the earliest date of conversion.

Income Taxes — The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Operating loss and tax credit carryforwards are measured by applying currently enacted tax laws. Valuation allowances are provided when necessary to reduce net deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. As of December 31, 2011 and 2012 and as of September 30, 2013 (unaudited), the Company provided a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets.

The Company recognizes the tax effects of an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not to be sustained based solely on its technical merits as of the reporting date then only in an amount more likely than not to be sustained upon review by the tax authorities. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments and which may not accurately anticipate actual outcomes.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. This newly issued accounting standard requires an entity to disclose both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position as well as instruments and transactions executed under a master netting or similar arrangement and was issued to enable users of financial statements to understand the effects or potential effects of those arrangements on its financial position. This ASU is required to be applied retrospectively and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after January 1, 2013. As this accounting standard only requires enhanced disclosure, the adoption of this standard is not expected to impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

4. CONVERTIBLE NOTES AND DETACHABLE WARRANTS

2010 Note – In January 2010, the Company issued a convertible note (the “2010 Note”) with an underlying principal value of $100,000. The 2010 Note accrued simple interest at an annual rate of 7%, had a maturity date of September 30, 2012 and was convertible at the price paid by investors in the next equity financing (“Next Equity Financing”) as defined under the 2010 Note agreement.

In connection with the issuance of the 2010 Note, the Company issued a warrant to purchase common stock at a price determined in the Next Equity Financing. Upon issuance, the warrant was determined to have a fair value of $33,000 using the Black-Scholes option valuation model, which was recorded as a discount against the 2010 Note. The 2010 Note discount and the $33,000 intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature of the warrant were being amortized into interest expense using the effective interest method.

In October 2011, the Company completed the “Next Equity Financing” with the issuance of 11,322,870 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $2,525,000. On the same date, the 2010 Note, including accrued interest, was converted into 502,055 shares of common stock. In addition to the conversion, a warrant for 224,215 shares of common stock was issued pursuant to the original terms of the warrant arrangement.

2011 Note – In September 2011, the Company issued a convertible note (“2011 Note”) to a shareholder of the Company with an underlying principal value of $500,000. The 2011 Note accrued simple interest at an annual rate of 8%, had a maturity date of August 31, 2012 and was convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.23, which was the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance.

In October 2011, the 2011 Note, including accrued interest, was converted into 2,242,152 shares of common stock, pursuant to the original terms of the agreement.

Stock-Based Awards to Employees — All options granted were intended to be exercisable at a price per share not less than fair market value of the shares of the Company’s stock underlying those options on their respective dates of grant. The Company estimated the fair value of its common stock utilizing valuations based on actual transactions involving the Company’s common stock.

Table of Contents

The Company estimates the fair value of each option award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and using the assumptions noted in the below table. Expected volatility is based upon the historical volatility of a peer group of publicly traded companies. The expected term of options granted is estimated by taking the average of the vesting term and the contractual term of the option. The risk-free rate for the expected term of the options is based on the U.S. Treasury Constant Maturity at the time of grant. The assumptions used to value options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were as follows:

The Company recognized employee stock-based compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 calculated based upon awards ultimately expected to vest, thus expense has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

Common Stock Warrants — As of December 31, 2011 and 2012, and September 30, 2013 (unaudited), the Company had outstanding warrants to purchase 923,754, 948,754, and 948,754 shares of common stock, respectively, with exercise prices ranging from $0.001 to $0.223 per share, and with expiration dates between 2017 to 2021.

The Company estimated the fair value of each warrant on the date of issuance using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which management determines approximates fair value, using the assumptions noted in the below table. Expected volatility is based upon the historical volatility of a peer group of publicly traded companies. The expected term of warrants represents the contractual term of the warrants. The risk-free rate for the expected term of the warrants is based on the U.S. Treasury Constant Maturity at the time of issuance.

7. INCOME TAXES

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The following table presents the significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities for the periods presented (in thousands):

A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets where the recoverability of the assets is uncertain. The determination to provide a valuation allowance is dependent upon the assessment of whether it is more likely than not that sufficient future taxable income will be generated to utilize the deferred tax assets. Based on the weight of the available evidence, which includes the Company’s historical operating losses, lack of taxable income, and the accumulated deficit, the Company provided a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets resulting from the tax loss and credits carried forward. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $1.8 million for federal income taxes and $1.7 million for state income taxes. If not utilized, these carryforwards will begin to expire in 2030 for both federal and state purposes.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company had research and development credit carryforwards of approximately, $1,000 and $0 for federal and state income taxes, respectively. If not utilized, the federal carryforwards will begin to expire in various amounts beginning in 2030. The state tax credit can be carried forward indefinitely.

Internal Revenue Code Section 382 limits the use of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards in certain situations where changes occur in the stock ownership of a company. In the event that the Company had a change of ownership, utilization of the net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards may be restricted.

The Company recognizes in the financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits (excluding interest and penalties) for the periods presented, is as follows (in thousands):

 

     December 31,  
         2011              2012      

Unrecognized benefit – beginning of period

   $ 1       $ 1

Gross decreases – prior year tax positions

               
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

Unrecognized benefit – end of period

   $ 1       $ 1

Table of Contents

The unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $1,000 and $1,000 as of December 31, 2011 and 2012, respectively, would have an impact on the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized.

The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. At December 31, 2012 and 2011 the Company had no cumulative interest and penalties related to the uncertain tax position.

The Company is currently unaware of any uncertain tax positions that could result in significant additional payments, accruals, or other material deviation in this estimate over the next 12 months.

The Company’s federal and state returns are open to audit under the statute of limitations for all years presented in these financial statements due to unutilized net operating loss carryovers from such years.

 

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Leases — The Company has operating lease agreements for office, data center, research and development, and sales and marketing space in the United States that expire at various dates through 2014. The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term and records the difference between cash rent payments and the recognition of rent expense as a deferred rent liability. Rent expense was approximately $8,000 and $158,000 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012, respectively, and $119,000 (unaudited) and $150,000 (unaudited) for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2013, respectively.

Approximate remaining future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable leases as of December 31, 2012, were as follows (in thousands):

9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent events have been evaluated from December 31, 2012 through January 16, 2014.

Increase in authorized common shares – In October 2013, the Company increased the authorized common shares for issuance from 50,000,000 to 55,000,000; increasing the total number of authorized shares from 100,000,000 to 105,000,000 shares.

Issuance of stock awards – In October 2013, the Company issued 4,202,500 stock awards to certain persons and entities in exchange for services provided to the Company and 174,908 stock awards to certain persons in exchange for the cancellation of warrants previously issued to those persons under the terms of the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan at an exercise price of $0.223 per share.

Sale of the Company – In October 2013, 100% of the Company’s assets and liabilities were acquired by Five9, Inc. (“Five9”) in exchange for consideration of approximately $16,089,000. The purchase consideration consisted of cash of $2,941,000 and Five9 common stock and options for common stock valued at $13,148,000.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Effective October 18, 2013, Five9, Inc. (“the Company”) completed an acquisition of Face It, Corp., also referred to as SoCoCare, a privately-held company that provides social engagement and mobile customer care applications.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805 “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”) and with the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements. There are no significant differences between the accounting policies of the Company and Face It, Corp. The total cost of the acquisition has been allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based upon their respective fair values as determined by the Company. The pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not include the realization of any cost savings from operating efficiencies, synergies or other restructurings resulting from the acquisition.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operation is based on the respective historical consolidated statements of operations and the accompanying notes of the Company and Face It, Corp. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations assumes that the acquisition took place as of January 1, 2013, the first day of the Company’s 2013 fiscal year.

The unaudited pro forma condensed statement of operation is based on the assumptions set forth in the notes to such statements. The unaudited pro forma adjustments made in connection with the development of the unaudited pro forma information have been made solely for purposes of developing such unaudited pro forma information for illustrative purposes necessary to comply with the disclosure requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not purport to be indicative of the results of operations for future periods or the combined financial position or the results that actually would have been realized had the entities been a single entity during these periods.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations should be read in conjunction with the Company’s historical consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s amended Form S-1, as well as the historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto of Face It, Corp. included in the amended Form S-1.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRO FORMA PRESENTATION

On October 18, 2013, the Company acquired Face It, Corp. to add social engagement and mobile customer care applications. Upon acquisition, Face It, Corp. merged into a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The total purchase consideration, which was valued at $15,032,000, included $2,964,000 of cash, 5,691,000 shares of common stock valued at $12,064,000 and 87,000 options for common stock with a total fair value of $115,000, of which $4,000 allocated to the purchase consideration and $111,000 was allocated to post-combination stock-based compensation. Of the shares of common stock included in the purchase consideration, 1,213,000 shares were withheld in order to indemnify the Company from certain losses that may arise from any inaccuracies or breach of any of Face It, Corp.’s covenants, representations and warranties as of the acquisition date, and were not treated as contingent consideration. The Company incurred costs of $574,000 directly related to the acquisition of Face It, Corp., which were expensed as incurred.

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total purchase price is allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values as of the date of acquisition. The pro forma purchase price adjustments are preliminary and have been made solely for the purpose of providing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

The excess of the purchase price over the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been allocated to goodwill.

The allocation of the purchase price at the acquisition date is as follows (dollars in thousands):

 

Tangible assets acquired

   $ 177   

Intangible assets:

  

Developed technology

     2,460   

Customer relationships

     520   

Domain names

     50   

Non-compete agreements

     140   

Goodwill

     11,798   

Current liabilities

     (113
  

 

 

 

Net assets acquired

   $ 15,032   
  

 

 

 

Identifiable intangible assets

The fair value of the acquired developed technology was determined by discounting the estimated net future cash flows of the technology. The fair value of the acquired customer relationships was determined based on the estimated costs to replace such relationships. The fair value of the acquired domain names was determined by estimating a benefit from owning the asset rather than paying a royalty to a third party for the use of the asset. The fair value of the non-compete agreements was determined by estimating the cost savings of having these agreements in place. The following table sets forth the components of these intangible assets and their estimated useful lives (dollars in thousands):

 

     Estimated
Fair Value
     Estimated

Developed technology

NOTE 2. PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

The following is a description of pro forma adjustments reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations:

a. Cost of Revenue

The adjustment reflects the amortization for acquired technology, which is being recognized in the statement of operations using a straight-line method over a term of 7 years.

b. Research and Development

The adjustment reflects stock compensation expense for the Founders’ shares subject to forfeiture being recognized over the one and two year vesting periods.

c. Sales and Marketing

The adjustment reflects the amortization for the acquisition of customer relationships, which is being recognized in the statement of operations using a straight-line method over a term of 5 years.

d. General and Administrative

The adjustment reflects (i) the amortization for the domain names and non-compete intangible assets acquired, which are being recognized in the statement of operations using a straight-line method over a term of 5 and 3 years, respectively, (ii) stock compensation expense of $200,000 for the Founders’ shares subject to forfeiture being recognized over the one and two year vesting periods, and (iii) the reduction of direct transaction-related costs of $652,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013.

e. Interest Expense

The adjustment reflects the interest expense associated with the Company’s $5,000,000 term loan agreement which relates to the acquisition. The term loan carries a variable interest rate of prime rate plus 1.50%. The interest rate used to compute the pro forma interest expense adjustment was 4.75%, which was the rate in effect upon borrowing. An increase in the interest rate by 0.0125% would increase the interest expense by $4,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013.

f. Warrant Revaluation and Amortization

A pro forma adjustment for the revaluation and related amortization of the warrant issued in conjunction with the term loan was not made as it was not deemed feasible and not expected to be material.

g. Income Taxes

There is no income tax impact because the pro forma adjustments would impact the net deferred tax assets in the United States which have a corresponding full valuation allowance.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with specified actions, suits and proceedings, other than a derivative action by or in the right of the corporation, if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that indemnification extends only to expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action and the statute requires court approval before there can be any indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. The statute provides that it is not exclusive of other indemnification that may be granted by a corporation’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws, disinterested director vote, stockholder vote, agreement or otherwise.

Our current amended and restated certificate of incorporation limits the liability of our directors for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. Consequently, our directors are not personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duties as directors, except liability for (i) any breach of their duty of loyalty to our company or our stockholders; (ii) any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law; or (iv) any transaction from which they derived an improper personal benefit.

Any amendment to, or repeal of, these provisions will not eliminate or reduce the effect of these provisions in respect of any act, omission or claim that occurred or arose prior to that amendment or repeal. If the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended to provide for further limitations on the personal liability of directors of corporations, then the personal liability of our directors will be further limited to the greatest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. We expect to adopt a new amended and restated certificate of incorporation, which will become effective immediately prior to the completion of this offering, and which will contain similar provisions that limit the liability of our directors for monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.

 

II-1


Table of Contents

Our current amended and restated bylaws provide that we (i) will indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was one of our directors or officers or, while a director or officer, is or was serving at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise and (ii) must advance expenses incurred by or on behalf of a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of any action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by us. We expect to adopt new amended and restated bylaws, which will become effective immediately prior to the completion of this offering, which will contain similar provisions that limit the liability of our directors and officers.

We have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors, executive officers and certain other officers pursuant to which they are provided indemnification rights that are broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained in the Delaware General Corporation Law. These indemnification agreements generally require us, among other things, to indemnify our directors, executive officers and certain other officers against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service. These indemnification agreements also require us to advance all expenses incurred by the directors, executive officers and certain other officers in investigating or defending any such action, suit or proceeding. We believe that these agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve as directors and officers. Prior to the completion of this offering, we expect to enter into new indemnification agreements with each of our directors, executive officers and certain other officers which will contain similar provisions.

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions that are expected to be included in our new amended and restated certificate of incorporation, amended and restated bylaws and the indemnification agreements that we enter into with our directors, executive officers and certain other officers may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors and officers for breach of their fiduciary duties. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against our directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit us and other stockholders. Further, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent that we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers as required by these indemnification provisions. At present, we are not aware of any pending litigation or proceeding involving any person who is or was one of our directors, officers, employees or other agents or is or was serving at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, for which indemnification is sought, and we are not aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification.

We have obtained insurance policies under which, subject to the limitations of the policies, coverage is provided to our directors and executive officers against loss arising from claims made for breach of fiduciary duty or other wrongful acts as a director or executive officer and to us with respect to payments that may be made by us to these directors and executive officers pursuant to our indemnification obligations or otherwise as a matter of law. Prior to the completion of this offering, we will enter into additional insurance arrangements to provide coverage to our directors and executive officers against loss arising from claims relating to public securities matters.

The underwriting agreement to be filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this registration statement provides for indemnification by the underwriters of us and our officers and directors for certain liabilities arising under the Securities Act and otherwise.

Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.

Except as set forth below, in the three years preceding the filing of this registration statement, we have not issued any securities that were not registered under the Securities Act.

Preferred Stock Issuances

On January 12, 2011, the Registrant sold 18,565,794 shares of its series B-2 preferred stock to twelve accredited investors at a purchase price per share of $0.4309 for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $8.0 million.

Stock Issued in Connection with Acquisition

On October 18, 2013, the Registrant issued 4,478,013 shares of its common stock to fifteen individuals and entities that were accredited investors in connection with its acquisition of all the outstanding shares of SoCoCare. The securities issued in connection with the SoCoCare acquisition were offered and sold in reliance upon an exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act in a transaction not involving a public offering. The Company made the determination that the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act was available based on the representations of the investors which included, that each such investor was an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D and that (i) such investor was acquiring the securities for its own account for investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution within the meaning of the Securities Act, (ii) such investor agreed not to sell or otherwise transfer the securities unless they are registered under the Securities Act or an exemption or exemptions from such registration are available, (iii) such investor had the capacity to protect his or her own interests in connection with the purchase of the securities by virtue of his or her business or financial expertise or that of his or her professional advisors, and (iv) such investor was aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the securities.

The issuances of options, shares upon the exercise of options, preferred stock and common stock described above were deemed exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, and in certain circumstances, in reliance on Rule 701 promulgated thereunder as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering or as transactions pursuant to compensatory benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation. All of the foregoing securities are deemed restricted securities for purposes of the Securities Act. The recipients of securities in the transactions exempt under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act represented that they were accredited investors and that they were acquiring the securities for investment purposes only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof and appropriate legends were affixed to the stock certificates and instruments issued in such transactions.

Item 17. Undertakings.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement, certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this Registration Statement as of the time it was declared effective.

(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(b) Each issued and outstanding share of Company Common Stock (other than shares to be canceled in accordance with Section 1.4(a) and Dissenting Shares) shall be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, as specified and allocated in this Section 1.4(b) and the Spreadsheet, without interest, subject to the obligation of the holder of such share of Company Common Stock to return to the applicable Indemnified Persons the amounts to the extent the holder has, at any time and from time to time, any unsatisfied payment obligations pursuant to this Agreement to the Indemnified Persons pursuant to Article 4 .

(1)Merger Consideration” means (A) an amount in cash equal to the quotient of (1) the amount, if any, set forth in the Spreadsheet in the row identifying the Company Securityholder holding the share under the column “Cash Consideration at Closing” divided by (2) the number of shares of Company Common Stock held by the holder thereof immediately prior to the Effective Time, (B) a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the quotient of (1) the amount, if any, set forth in the Spreadsheet, in the row identifying the Company Securityholder holding the share of Company Common Stock, under the column “Stock Consideration at Closing” divided by (2) the number of shares of Company Common Stock held by the holder thereof immediately prior to the Effective Time, (C) subject to and in accordance with Section 1.9(d), an amount in cash equal to the quotient of (1) any amount that becomes payable by Parent to the former Company Securityholder who held the share of Company Common Stock as of immediately before the Effective Time divided by (2) the number of shares of Company Common Stock held by the holder as of immediately before the Effective Time, and (D) subject to and in accordance with Section 4.5, the number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the quotient of (1) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock, if any, distributable by Parent to the former Company Securityholder who held the share of Company Common Stock as of immediately before the Effective Time divided by (2) the number of shares of Company Common Stock held by the holder as of immediately before the Effective Time (the consideration described in clauses (B) and (D) being the “Equity Consideration”).

(e) Of the Equity Consideration issued to the Founders, 20% shall be subject to Parent’s repurchase option set forth in the Restricted Stock and Joinder Agreement applicable to such holder.

Section 1.5 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Payment Procedures; Working Capital and Indemnification Holdback Contributions. The Company will mail to each holder of record of a Certificate (1) a letter of transmittal substantially in the form of Exhibit H (the “Letter of Transmittal”) and (2) instructions for use in surrendering Certificates to Parent in exchange for consideration as specified and allocated in Section 1.4. Upon submission to Parent of a Certificate for cancellation, with a duly executed Letter of Transmittal and any required Form W-9 or Form W-8 and such other documents as may reasonably be required by Parent, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, subject to the next sentence, the Merger Consideration into which the shares formerly represented by such Certificate shall have been converted in accordance with Section 1.4, as set forth on the Spreadsheet, and the Certificate so surrendered shall be canceled. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 1.5(a), each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender a portion of the Merger Consideration as contemplated by this Article 1. If any transfer of ownership of shares of Company Common Stock has not been registered in the Company’s transfer records, payment may be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered if such Certificate is properly endorsed or is otherwise in proper form reasonably acceptable to Parent for transfer, and the Person requesting such transfer or payment shall pay any transfer or other Tax required by reason of the payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable. No interest shall be paid or will accrue on the cash payable or shares of Parent Common Stock issuable to holders of Certificates in accordance with this Article 1.

(b) No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. All cash and shares of Parent Common Stock paid or issued upon the surrender of Certificates in accordance with the terms of this Article 1, together with the right to receive any portion of the Working Capital Holdback Contribution and Indemnification Holdback Contribution hereunder, shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificates, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed immediately upon the Effective Time and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Interim Surviving Entity or the Surviving Entity of the shares of Company Common Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Interim Surviving Entity or the Surviving Entity for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged for payment as provided in this Article 1, except as otherwise provided by Law.

(c) No Liability. None of Parent, the Interim Surviving Entity or the Surviving Entity shall be liable to any Person with respect to any cash or shares of Parent Common Stock delivered to a public official in accordance with any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If any amounts payable in accordance with this Article 1 would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority, any such amounts, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, immediately prior to the date on which such amounts would otherwise escheat or become the property of any Governmental Authority, shall become the property of the Surviving Entity, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(d) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of any Merger Consideration with respect to the shares of Company Common Stock previously represented by such Certificate, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate to provide an appropriate affidavit and executed indemnification agreement as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Interim Surviving Entity, the Surviving Entity or any Affiliate of any of them with respect to such Certificate.

Section 1.6 Options.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions reasonably necessary or appropriate to provide that each outstanding option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Company Option”) shall be cancelled as of the Effective Time and each holder of Company Options shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except as set forth in this Agreement.

(b) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions it reasonably determines necessary to provide that each Company Option, whether vested or unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time, that is held by an individual who remains an employee of or consultant to the Company as of immediately prior to the Effective Time

 

10

***CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO THIS OMITTED INFORMATION.***


and who becomes an employee of or consultant to Parent, the Interim Surviving Entity, the Surviving Entity or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of Parent immediately after the Effective Time (each, a “Continuing Employee”) and that has an exercise price per share that is less than the Total Per Share Company Value (such Company Option, an “Eligible Option”) shall, by virtue of the Reverse Merger, be converted into the right to be granted a stock option by Parent under the Parent’s Amended and Restated 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Parent Plan”) (such grant to occur following the Effective Time but in no event later than October 31, 2013) that represents the right to acquire a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Eligible Option as of immediately prior to the Closing, multiplied by (ii) the Option Conversion Ratio, with any fractional share resulting from such formula rounded down to the nearest whole share (each, a “Converted Option”). Each Converted Option shall be fully vested, shall be subject to the Exercise Restriction and shall otherwise be evidenced by a standard form of Parent stock option agreement under the Parent Plan. The per share exercise price of each Converted Option shall be equal to (A) the per share exercise price of the Eligible Option as of immediately prior to the Closing, divided by (B) the Option Conversion Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent. As used in this Agreement, “Option Conversion Ratio” means a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Total Per Share Company Value, and the denominator of which shall be equal to the greater of (x) the Parent Stock Per Share Valuation and (y) the October Per Share Value. For the avoidance of doubt, if the exercise price payable in respect of a share of Company Common Stock under a Company Option exceeds the Total Per Share Company Value, such Option shall be cancelled for no consideration at the Effective Time and the Optionholder shall have no further rights with respect thereto. “October Per Share Value” means the fair market value of a share of Parent Common Stock, as determined by Parent’s board of directors not later than October 31, 2013, in a manner reasonably designed to comply with the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(5) based on the third party valuation report prepared by Duff and Phelps on or about October 15, 2013. “Total Per Share Company Value” means the Total Per Share Company Value set forth in the Spreadsheet.

(c) ***.

(d) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions it reasonably determines necessary to provide that each Company Option that is not an Eligible Option shall be cancelled at the Effective Time for no consideration.

(e) Following the Effective Time, former holders of Company Options shall not have any right to acquire any equity securities of Parent, the Interim Surviving Entity or the Surviving Entity as a result of such Company Options, other than pursuant to the Converted Options and the Additional Options. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall take all actions it reasonably determines necessary to ensure that the Company will not at the Effective Time be bound by any options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units, warrants or other rights or agreements which would entitle any Person, other than Parent and its Subsidiaries, to own any capital stock of the Interim Surviving Entity or the Surviving Entity or to receive any payment in respect thereof.

***CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO THIS OMITTED INFORMATION.***


(f) On or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall take all actions necessary to ensure that Parent shall be able to grant the Converted Options and the Additional Options in accordance with the terms set forth in this Section 1.6, and reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Parent Common Stock for delivery upon exercise of the Converted Options and Additional Options.

Section 1.7 Warrants.

(a) Treatment of Warrants. Each outstanding warrant to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (including all Cash-Out Warrants) (each, a “Company Warrant”) shall terminate as of immediately before the Effective Time, and, from the Effective Time, no holder of any Company Warrants shall have any right to acquire any equity securities of Parent, the Interim Surviving Entity or the Surviving Entity as a result of such holder’s Company Warrants (irrespective of the terms of such Company Warrant). At the Effective Time,

(1) each Company Warrant held by a Cash-Out Warrantholder shall be cancelled in consideration of payment to the holder of such Cash-Out Warrant of an amount in cash equal to the amount set forth in the Spreadsheet in the row identifying the holder of the Cash-Out Warrant under the column “Cash Consideration at Closing”, subject in each case to applicable Tax withholdings as provided in Section 1.11, if any; and

(2) each other Company Warrant shall be exercised or exchanged for shares of Company Common Stock in the amounts set forth in the Spreadsheet as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and shall not be entitled to any additional payment or consideration.

(b) Payment. Parent shall, or shall cause the Interim Surviving Entity or the Surviving Entity to, pay to the holder of each Company Warrant the consideration, if any, for the Company Warrant pursuant to Section 1.7(a)(1) and (2) within three Business Days after the Closing Date.

Section 1.8 No Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock will be issued in connection with the Merger, and in lieu thereof, each holder of Company Common Stock shall receive from Parent an amount of cash equal to the product (rounded upwards or downwards to the nearest whole cent, with 0.5 of a cent rounded up) of such fraction of a share such holder would otherwise receive multiplied by the Parent Stock Per Share Valuation, subject to subject to applicable holdbacks, deductions and adjustments.

Section 1.9 Working Capital Adjustment.

 

12

***CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO THIS OMITTED INFORMATION.***


(a) At least one Business Day before the Closing, the Company has delivered to Parent (x) a certificate, signed by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, setting forth the Company’s good faith best estimate of the Working Capital, including the components thereof, including but not limited to any amount to be paid by Parent at the Closing in cash to the Company for Working Capital purposes as reflected in the Spreadsheet, as of immediately before the Closing (the “Estimated Closing Date Working Capital”) and (y) the work papers used to prepare such estimate. The Merger Consideration shall be adjusted to reflect any difference between the Estimated Closing Date Working Capital and the Target Working Capital, as set forth on the Spreadsheet, subject to any further adjustment pursuant to Section 1.9(d).

(b) Within 90 calendar days after the Closing Date, Parent may, at its option, prepare and deliver to the Representative (1) an unaudited balance sheet of the Company as of immediately before the Closing (the “Closing Balance Sheet”) and (2) a statement setting forth the calculation of the Working Capital as of immediately after the Closing (after giving effect to any payment by the Company on or prior to Closing of any portion of Company Indebtedness and Company Transaction Expenses), including the components thereof, as calculated from the Closing Balance Sheet (the “Closing Date Working Capital”). The Closing Balance Sheet will be prepared in accordance with GAAP using the same method and methodologies that were used in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012 and Schedule 1.9(a) and will fairly present the financial position of the Company as of the Closing Date immediately before the Effective Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Closing Balance Sheet need not account for the current portion of long-term debt that will be paid at the Closing or fixed assets in accordance with GAAP. Following the delivery of the Closing Balance Sheet and the statement of the Closing Date Working Capital, if any, Parent will provide the Representative and the Representative’s representatives reasonable access to the books and records and employees of the Surviving Entity to the extent necessary to determine the accuracy of the Closing Balance Sheet and the statement of Closing Date Working Capital and will cause the employees of the Surviving Entity and Parent to reasonably cooperate with the Representative and the Representative’s representatives in connection with their determination of the accuracy of the Closing Balance Sheet and the statement of Closing Date Working Capital.

(c) If Parent delivers a Closing Balance Sheet and a statement of Closing Date Working Capital pursuant to Section 1.9(b), the Representative will notify Parent in writing of any objections to the Closing Date Working Capital or Closing Balance Sheet within 30 calendar days after the Representative receives the Closing Date Working Capital and the Closing Balance Sheet. If the Representative does not notify Parent of any such objections by the end of that 30-day period, then the Closing Date Working Capital and the Closing Balance Sheet will each be considered final at the end of the last day of that 30-day period. If the Representative does notify Parent of any such objections by the end of that 30-day period and the Representative and Parent are unable to resolve their differences within 30 calendar days after the Representative gives Parent notice of the Representative’s objection,

 

13

then the Representative and Parent will instruct their respective accountants to use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such disputed items to their mutual satisfaction and to deliver a final Closing Date Working Capital and Closing Balance Sheet to the Representative and Parent as soon as possible. If the Representative’s accountants and Parent’s accountants are unable to resolve any such disputed items within 30 calendar days after receiving such instructions, then the remaining disputed items and the value attributable to them by each of the Representative and Parent will be submitted to a nationally recognized accounting firm mutually agreed by Parent and the Representative (the “Working Capital Arbiter”) for resolution, and the Working Capital Arbiter will be instructed to determine the final Closing Date Working Capital and Closing Balance Sheet and to deliver its determination to the Representative and Parent as soon as possible. The Working Capital Arbiter will consider only those items and amounts in the Representative’s and Parent’s respective calculations of the Closing Date Working Capital that are identified as being items and amounts to which the Representative and Parent have been unable to agree. In resolving any disputed item, the Working Capital Arbiter may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by the Representative or Parent or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either of them. The Working Capital Arbiter’s determination of the Closing Date Working Capital will be based solely on written materials submitted by the Representative and Parent (i.e., not on independent review) and on the definition of Working Capital included herein. The determination of the Working Capital Arbiter will be final, conclusive and binding upon the Parties. Parent, the Representative and the Company Securityholders each will not have any right to, and will not, institute any Action challenging such determination or with respect to the matters that are the subject of this Section 1.9, except that the foregoing will not preclude an Action to enforce such determination. If the Working Capital Arbiter’s determination of Closing Date Working Capital is closer to the value initially asserted by Parent to the Working Capital Arbiter, then an amount equal to the costs of the Working Capital Arbiter shall be released from the Working Capital Holdback to Parent. If the Working Capital Arbiter’s determination of Closing Date Working Capital is closer to the value initially asserted by the Representative to the Working Capital Arbiter, then Parent will pay the costs of the Working Capital Arbiter. Each of Parent and the Representative will cooperate with and assist the Working Capital Arbiter to determine the final Closing Date Working Capital and Closing Balance Sheet, including by making available and granting reasonable access to records and employees.

(d) Within five Business Days of the final determination of the Closing Date Working Capital in accordance with this Section 1.9,

(1) if the Estimated Closing Date Working Capital is greater than the Closing Date Working Capital, (x) Parent will retain such difference from the Working Capital Holdback Amount and cause an amount of cash equal to the excess, if any, of the Working Capital Holdback Amount over such difference to be promptly distributed to the former Company Securityholders pro rata according to their respective Holdback Percentages and (y) Parent will release to itself and cancel Indemnification Holdback Shares valued at the Parent Stock Per Share Valuation in an amount equal to any positive difference of (1) the amount by which the Estimated Closing Date Working Capital exceeds the Closing Date Working Capital minus (2) the remaining Working Capital Holdback Amount;

 

14

***CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO THIS OMITTED INFORMATION.***


(2) if the Closing Date Working Capital is greater than the Estimated Closing Date Working Capital, Parent will cause an amount of cash equal to the sum of (x) that difference plus (y) the remaining Working Capital Holdback Amount to be promptly distributed to the former Company Securityholders pro rata according to their respective Holdback Percentages; and

(3) If the Estimated Closing Date Working Capital is equal to the Closing Date Working Capital or if Parent does not deliver to Representative a statement of Closing Date Working Capital within the time period set forth in Section 1.9(b), Parent will cause an amount of cash equal to the remaining Working Capital Holdback Amount to be promptly distributed to the former Company Securityholders pro rata according to their respective Holdback Percentages.

Following the completion of the payments provided for in clauses (1), (2) or (3) of this Section 1.9(d), the Company Securityholders will have no further rights to any amount of the Working Capital Holdback Amount.

Section 1.10 Dissenting Shares.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary and unless otherwise provided by the NRS , shares of Company Common Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are owned by stockholders who have properly complied with the requirements to demand payment for their shares in accordance with the NRS (“Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, unless and until such stockholders shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost their right of payment under the NRS. Such stockholders instead shall be entitled to payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with the NRS.

(9) fraud or willful misrepresentation by any Indemnifying Securityholder.

(b) In the case of any Taxable period that includes but does not end on the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the amount of Pre-Closing Tax Liabilities based on or measured by income or receipts or relating to any sales or use Tax will be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date, and the amount of any Pre-Closing Tax Liabilities not based on or measured by income or receipts or relating to any sales or use Tax for a Straddle Period will be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending at the end of the day that is the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period. For purposes of this Section 4.3(b), any exemption, deduction, credit or other item that is calculated on an annual basis shall be allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period in the same manner as that set forth in the second clause of the prior sentence of this Section 4.3(b).

(c) In calculating the amount of any Losses in respect of any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation, warranty or certification, any materiality or Material Adverse Effect standard or qualification limiting the scope of such representation, warranty or certification will be disregarded.

47

***CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO THIS OMITTED INFORMATION.***


(4) With respect to Losses claimed under Section 4.3(a)(2), Section 4.3(a)(3), Section 4.3(a)(4), Section 4.3(a)(5) or Section 4.3(a)(6), an Indemnified Person may recover all of its Losses from (A) the Indemnification Holdback Shares and (B) to the extent such Losses exceed the amount claimed from the Indemnification Holdback Shares in all unresolved or unsatisfied Liability Claims, directly from each Indemnifying Securityholder according to its Holdback Percentage of such Losses, up to the Merger Consideration received by the Indemnifying Securityholder.

(5) With respect to Losses claimed under Section 4.3(a)(7), Section 4.3(a)(8) or Section 4.3(a)(9), an Indemnified Person may recover such Losses at its sole discretion (A) from the Indemnification Holdback Shares, (B) directly from each Indemnifying Securityholder, according to its Holdback Percentage of such Losses, and (C) directly and without limitation from an Indemnifying Securityholder whose fraud or willful misrepresentation is the basis for the Liability Claims under Section 4.3(a)(9).

(b) Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, the Parties shall treat any indemnification payments made hereunder as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration as specified in Section 1.4 for accounting and Tax purposes.

(c) No Indemnifying Securityholder will have any right of contribution, right of indemnity or other right or remedy against Parent, the Interim Surviving Entity or the Surviving Entity in connection with any indemnification obligation or any other liability to which such Indemnifying Securityholder may become subject under or in connection with this Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, nothing herein will prevent any Indemnified Person from bringing an Action for fraud or willful misrepresentation against any Person, including any Indemnifying Securityholder, whose fraud or willful misrepresentation has caused such Indemnified Person to incur Losses or has limited the Losses recoverable by such Indemnified Person in such Action, and the ability to recover Losses with respect to such fraud or willful misrepresentation will not be limited by this Agreement.

Section 4.5 Indemnification Holdback Claim Period. The period during which claims for indemnification from the Indemnification Holdback Shares may be initiated (the “Claim Period”) will commence at the Effective Time on the Closing Date and terminate at 11:59 p.m. California time on the date that is *** after the Closing Date (the “Claim Period Expiration Date”).

48

***CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO THIS OMITTED INFORMATION.***


prompt distribution to the Indemnifying Securityholders pro rata according to their respective Holdback Percentages. Upon resolution after the Claim Period Expiration Date of any unresolved or unsatisfied Liability Claim for which Indemnified Persons seek recovery from the Indemnification Holdback Shares, Parent will deliver to the Representative for prompt distribution to the Indemnifying Securityholders pro rata according to their respective Holdback Percentages any remaining Indemnification Holdback Shares that are not held back under clause (a) of the preceding sentence in relation to any other unresolved or unsatisfied Liability Claims.

Section 4.6 Claims for Indemnification. At any time that an Indemnified Person desires to claim a Loss (a “Liability Claim”) that it believes is or may be indemnifiable under Section 4.3, Parent will deliver a notice of such Liability Claim (a “Claims Notice”) to the Representative. A Claims Notice will (a) be signed by an officer of Parent, (b) describe the Liability Claim in reasonable detail and (c) indicate the amount of the Loss that has been or may be paid, suffered, sustained or accrued by the Indemnified Persons. To the extent that the amount of a Loss is not determinable as of the date of delivery of a Claims Notice, Parent may deliver a Claims Notice stating the maximum amount of Loss that Parent in good faith estimates or anticipates that an Indemnified Person may pay or suffer, but Parent’s provision of an estimated or anticipated amount of Loss will not limit the Loss recoverable or recovered by an Indemnified Person. No delay in or failure to give a Claims Notice by Parent to the Representative pursuant to this Section 4.6 will adversely affect any of the other rights or remedies that Parent has under this Agreement or alter or relieve any Parties of their obligations to indemnify the Indemnified Persons pursuant to this Article 4, except and to the extent that such delay or failure has materially prejudiced such Parties.

Section 4.7 Objections to Claims.

(a) The Representative may object to any Liability Claim set forth in such Claims Notice by delivering written notice to Parent of the Representative’s objection (an “Objection Notice”). Such Objection Notice must describe the grounds for such objection in reasonable detail.

(b) If an Objection Notice is not delivered by the Representative to Parent within 30 days after receipt by the Representative of the Claims Notice, such failure to so object will be an irrevocable acknowledgment by the Representative and each Indemnifying Securityholder that the Indemnified Persons are entitled to indemnification under Section 4.3 for the Losses set forth in such Claims Notice in accordance with this Article 4.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Indemnifying Securityholders do not have any individual right to object to any claim made in a Claims Notice under this Article 4. Any and all claims made in a Claims Notice on behalf of the Indemnified Persons may be objected to only by the Representative.

Section 4.8 Resolution of Objections to Claims; Satisfaction of Claims.

 

49

***CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO THIS OMITTED INFORMATION.***


(a) If the Representative objects in writing to any Liability Claim made in any Claims Notice within 30 days after receipt of such Claims Notice, the Representative and Parent will attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective Parties with respect to each such claim. If the Representative and Parent should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement will be prepared and signed by both of them, and Parent will release to itself and cancel Indemnification Holdback Shares in the amount agreed in such memorandum and, if applicable, each Indemnifying Securityholder will Satisfy the amount agreed to be delivered to Parent in such memorandum.

(b) If an agreement described in Section 4.8(a) is not reached after good-faith negotiation for a period of 30 days after delivery of an Objection Notice, either Parent or the Representative on behalf of the Indemnifying Securityholders may bring an Action against the other under Section 6.13 to resolve the dispute.

(c) To the extent that an Indemnified Person is permitted under this Article 4 to seek recovery directly against one or more Indemnifying Securityholders for Losses that Parent has not previously recovered out of the Indemnification Holdback Shares, then each such Indemnifying Securityholder will promptly, and in no event later than ten days after the final resolution of any dispute in accordance with this Section 4.8, Satisfy the amount equal to (1) its Holdback Percentage of the amount of Losses determined in accordance with this Section 4.8 or (2) if such Losses are recoverable from the Indemnifying Securityholders under Section 4.3(a)(7), Section 4.3(a)(8) or Section 4.3(a)(9), the full amount of such Losses. If the amount of the Losses so determined is an estimate, then the applicable Indemnifying Securityholder will be required to Satisfy the amount within five days of the date that the amount of such Losses is finally determined.

In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, either voluntarily or involuntarily, the holders of Series D-2 Stock, Series C-2 Stock, Series B-2 Stock and Series A-2 Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to receive, on an equal priority pari passu basis, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets or surplus funds of the Corporation to the holders of Common Stock of the Corporation, an amount equal to (i) $1.4408 per share of Series D-2 Stock (Appropriately Adjusted), $0.9300 per share of Series C-2 Stock (Appropriately Adjusted), $0.4309 per share of Series B-2 Stock (Appropriately Adjusted) and $0.1630 per share of Series A-2 Stock (Appropriately Adjusted), respectively, plus a further amount equal to any declared but unpaid dividends on such shares (collectively, but on a per share basis, the “Preferred Liquidation Amount”). If upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation are insufficient to provide for the cash payment in full of the

 

- 2 -


Preferred Liquidation Amount to each share of each series of Preferred Stock, then the entire amount of the assets and funds of the Corporation legally available for distribution shall be distributed with equal priority and pro rata among the holders of the Preferred Stock in proportion to the full amounts they would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2(a).

(b) Distribution after Payment of Liquidation Preference. After full payment has been made to the holders of Preferred Stock of the respective Preferred Liquidation Amounts per share, the entire remaining assets and funds of the Corporation legally available for distribution, if any, shall be distributed ratably among the holders of issued and outstanding Preferred Stock and Common Stock (on an as-if converted basis).

(c) For purposes of this Section 2, a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation shall be deemed to be occasioned by or include, (A) any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation or other entity or person, or any other corporate reorganization after which the stockholders of the Corporation immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or reorganization, fail to own at least 50% of the voting power of the surviving entity immediately following such consolidation, merger or reorganization in approximately the same relative percentages as prior to such consolidation, merger or reorganization, (B) any transaction or series of related transactions in which in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the Corporation’s voting power is transferred, but excluding (x) any consolidation or merger effected exclusively to change the domicile of the Corporation, or (y) any transaction or series of transactions principally for bona fide equity financing purposes in which cash is received by the Corporation or indebtedness of the Corporation is cancelled or converted or a combination thereof, or (C) a sale, lease, exclusive license or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation.

(d) Non-cash Distributions. If consideration other than cash is to be distributed in exchange for shares of the Corporation or if any of the assets of the Corporation are to be distributed other than in cash under Section 2(c) or for any purpose, then the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall in good faith determine the value of the assets to be distributed to the holders of Preferred Stock. The Corporation shall give prompt written notice to each holder of shares of Preferred Stock of the asset valuation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any securities to be distributed to the stockholders shall be valued as follows:

(i) If traded on a securities exchange, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the securities on such exchange over the 20 trading day period ending three (3) business days prior to the distribution under this Section 2(d) or the closing of the transaction or series of transactions under Section 2(c);

(ii) If traded over-the-counter, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid prices over the 30-day period ending three (3) business days prior to the distribution under this Section 2(d) or the closing of the transaction or series of transactions under Section 2(c); and

 

- 3 -


(iii) If the securities are not traded on a securities exchange or over-the-counter, then the value shall be the fair market value thereof, as mutually determined by the Corporation and the holders of not less than sixty percent (60%) of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, provided that if the Corporation and the holders of at least sixty percent (60%) of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock are unable to reach an agreement, then by independent appraisal by an investment banker hired and paid for by the Corporation, but acceptable to the holders of at least sixty percent (60%) of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock.

(e) Repurchase of Shares. In connection with the repurchase by this Corporation of its shares of Common Stock either (1) at cost (or such other price as may be agreed by the Board of Directors, including the approval of a majority of the Preferred Stock Directors (as defined below)) from officers, directors, or employees of, or consultants, advisors and others who provide services to, this Corporation or its subsidiaries (“Compensatory Shares”) upon termination of such employment or services relationship pursuant to incentive stock plans, agreements or similar arrangements approved by the Board of Directors providing for the right of said repurchase between the Corporation and such persons (“Compensatory Share Repurchase Rights”), or (2) upon the exercise of any rights of first refusal held by the Corporation with respect to such shares, the Corporation may make any such repurchase without regard to preferential dividends arrears amounts and any preferential rights, as authorized by Section 500(b) of the California General Corporation Law (“CGCL”).

3. Voting Rights.

(a) Generally. The holder of each share of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which each share of Preferred Stock could be converted on the record date for the vote or consent of stockholders and, except as otherwise set forth herein or required by law, shall have voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the Common Stock. The holder of each share of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to notice of any stockholders’ meeting in accordance with the bylaws of the Corporation and shall vote together with holders of the Common Stock as a single class upon the election of directors and upon any other matter submitted to a vote of stockholders, except those matters required by law to be submitted to a class or series vote or as otherwise provided in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. Fractional votes shall not, however, be permitted and any fractional voting rights resulting from the above formula (after aggregating all shares of Common Stock into which shares of Preferred Stock held by each holder could be converted) shall be rounded to the nearest whole number (with one-half rounded upward to one). The number of authorized shares of Common Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by (in addition to any vote of the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock that may be required by the terms of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation) the affirmative vote of the holders of shares of capital stock of the Corporation representing a majority of the votes represented by all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL.

(b) Election of Directors. The Board of Directors shall be comprised of ten (10) directors. At each election of directors, (i) so long as at least 1,000,000 shares of Series D-2 Stock (Appropriately Adjusted) remain outstanding, the holders of a majority of the then outstanding Series D-2 Stock shall be entitled to elect one (1) member of the Corporation’s

 

- 4 -


Board of Directors (the “Series D-2 Director”), (ii) so long as at least 1,000,000 shares of Series B-2 Stock (Appropriately Adjusted) remain outstanding, the holders of a majority of the then outstanding Series B-2 Stock shall be entitled to elect one (1) member of the Corporation’s Board of Directors (the “Series B-2 Director”), (iii) so long as at least 5,000,000 shares of Series A-2 Stock (Appropriately Adjusted) remain outstanding, the holders of a majority of the then outstanding Series A-2 Stock shall be entitled to elect two (2) members of the Corporation’s Board of Directors (the “Series A-2 Directors”), (iv) so long as a least 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock (Appropriately Adjusted) remain outstanding, the holders of a majority of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to elect two (2) members of the Corporation’s Board of Directors (the “Preferred Director,” together with the Series D-2 Director, the Series B-2 Director and the Series A-2 Directors, the “Preferred Stock Directors”), (v) the holders of a majority of the then outstanding Common Stock shall be entitled to elect one (1) member of the Corporation’s Board of Directors (the “Common Stock Director”), and (vi) three (3) directors shall be elected by the holders of a majority of the Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, and the holders of a majority of the Common Stock, voting as a separate class (the “Mutual Directors”). No person entitled to vote at an election for directors may cumulate votes, to which such person is entitled, unless, at the time of such election, the Corporation is subject to Section 2115(b) of the CGCL. During such time or times that the Corporation is subject to Section 2115(b) of the CGCL, every stockholder entitled to vote at an election for directors may cumulate such stockholder’s votes and give one candidate a number of votes equal to the number of directors to be elected multiplied by the number of votes to which such stockholder’s shares are otherwise entitled, or distribute the stockholder’s votes on the same principle among as many candidates as such stockholder desires. No stockholder, however, shall be entitled to so cumulate such stockholder’s votes unless (i) the names of such candidate or candidates have been placed in nomination prior to the voting and (ii) the stockholder has given notice at the meeting, prior to voting, of such stockholder’s intention to cumulate such votes. If any stockholder has given proper notice to cumulate votes, all stockholders may cumulate their votes for any candidates who have been properly placed in nomination. Under cumulative voting, the candidates receiving the highest number of votes, up to the number of directors to be elected, are elected.

(c) Removal; Vacancies. Any director who was elected by a specified series, class or classes of shares may only be removed during his or her term of office, with or without cause, by the affirmative vote of the holders of the shares of the series, class or classes of shares that initially elected such director; provided, however that at such times that the Corporation is subject to Section 2115(b) of the CGCL, unless the entire Board of Directors is removed, no individual director may be removed when the votes cast against such director’s removal, or not consenting in writing to such removal, would be sufficient to elect that director if voted cumulatively at an election where the same total number of votes were cast (or if such action is taken by written consent, all shares entitled to consent were consented) and the entire number of directors authorized at the time of such director’s most recent election were then being elected. Such vote may be given at a special meeting of such stockholders duly called or by an action by written consent for that purpose. With respect to directors elected by a specified series, class or classes of shares, any vacancy may be filled only by the affirmative vote or written consent of the shares of such specified series, class or classes of shares. A vacancy created by the removal of a director by court order may be filled only by the vote of the outstanding shares of the series, class or classes entitled to elect such director represented at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is present, or by an action by unanimous written consent for that purpose. Each director so elected shall hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders or until a successor has been elected and qualified.

4. Conversion. The holders of the Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows (the “Conversion Rights”):

(a) Right to Convert. Each share of the Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for the Preferred Stock, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Issuance Price for such series by the Conversion Price for such series, determined as hereinafter provided, in effect at the time of the conversion (the “Conversion Rate”). The Issuance Price for the Series D-2 Stock is $1.4408 per share, for the Series C-2 Stock is $0.9300 per share, for the Series B-2 Stock is $0.4309 per share and for the Series A-2 Stock is $0.1630 per share, respectively. The Conversion Price for the Series D-2 Stock, Series C-2 Stock, Series B-2 Stock and the Series A-2 Stock shall initially be $1.4408 per share, $0.9300 per share, $0.4309 per share and $0.1630 per share, respectively, such that the initial Conversion Rate for the Series D-2 Stock, Series C-2 Stock, Series B-2 Stock and the Series A-2 Stock shall be 1:1.

(b) Automatic Conversion. Each share of Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock at the then effective Conversion Rate upon the earlier to occur of (i) immediately prior to the closing of a firm commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), covering the offer and sale of Common Stock for the account of the Corporation to the public in which the public offering price exceeds (prior to underwriter discounts or commissions and offering expenses) $2.88 per share (Appropriately Adjusted) and the aggregate gross proceeds (net of underwriter discounts, commissions and expenses) raised by the Corporation equal or exceed $35,000,000 (a “Qualified IPO”), (ii) with respect to the Series A-2 Stock only, on the date upon which the Corporation obtains the consent to such conversion of the holders of at least sixty percent (60%) of the shares of Series A-2 Stock then outstanding voting together as a single and separate class, (iii) with respect to the Series B-2 Stock only, on the date upon which the Corporation obtains the consent to such conversion of the holders of at least sixty percent (60%) of the shares of Series B-2 Stock then outstanding voting together as a single and separate class, (iv) with respect to the Series C-2 Stock only, on the date upon which the Corporation obtains the consent to such conversion of the holders of at least sixty percent (60%) of the shares of Series C-2 Stock then outstanding voting together as a single and separate class and (v) with respect to the Series D-2 Stock only, on the date upon which the Corporation obtains the consent to such conversion of the holders of at least sixty percent (60%) of the shares of Series D-2 Stock then outstanding voting together as a single and separate class. In the event of the automatic conversion of the Preferred Stock upon a public offering as aforesaid, the person(s) entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion of Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have converted such Preferred Stock until immediately prior to the closing of such public offering.

 

- 6 -


(c) Mechanics of Conversion. Before any holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert the same into full shares of Common Stock and to receive certificates therefor, such holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or of any transfer agent for the Preferred Stock, and shall give written notice to the Corporation at such office that such holder elects to convert the same; provided, however, that in the event of an automatic conversion pursuant to Section 4(b), the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall be converted automatically without any further action by the holders of such shares and whether or not the certificates representing such shares are surrendered to the Corporation or its transfer agent, and provided further that the Corporation shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such automatic conversion unless the certificates evidencing such shares of Preferred Stock are either delivered to the Corporation or its transfer agent as provided above, or the holder notifies the Corporation or its transfer agent that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificates. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable after such delivery, or such agreement and indemnification in the case of a lost certificate, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Preferred Stock, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the holder shall be entitled as aforesaid and a check payable to the holder in the amount of any cash amounts payable as the result of a conversion into fractional shares of Common Stock. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the shares of Preferred Stock to be converted, or in the case of automatic conversion on the date of closing of the offering and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the conversion is in connection with a transaction or series of related transactions described in Section 2(c) above, the conversion may, at the option of any holder tendering Preferred Stock for conversion, be conditioned upon the closing of such transaction or series of related transactions, in which event the person(s) entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have converted such Preferred Stock until immediately prior to the final closing of such transaction or series of transactions.

(d) Fractional Shares. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder of Preferred Stock would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation may pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then effective Conversion Price or round such fractional share up to a whole share (after aggregating all shares into which shares of Preferred Stock held by each holder could be converted). Whether or not fractional shares are issuable upon such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of Preferred Stock of each holder at the time converting into Common Stock and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such aggregate conversion.

(e) Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price of each series of Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

(i) If, at any time after the Filing Date (as defined below), the Corporation shall issue (or, pursuant to Section 4(e)(i)(A)(z) hereof, shall be deemed to have issued) any Common Stock other than “Excluded Stock” (as defined below) for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price for a series of Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to the issuance of such Common Stock (excluding stock dividends, subdivisions, split-ups,

 

- 7 -


combinations, dividends or recapitalizations which are covered by Sections 4(e)(iii), (iv), (v) and (vi)), the Conversion Price for such series of Preferred Stock in effect immediately after each such issuance shall forthwith (except as otherwise provided in this Section 4(e)) be adjusted to a price equal to the quotient obtained by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction (I) the numerator of which shall be (x) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the day immediately preceding the date of such issuance or sale, plus (y) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received (or by the express provisions hereof shall be deemed to have been received) by the Corporation for the total number of additional shares of Common Stock so issued or sold would purchase at such Conversion Price then in effect for such series of Preferred Stock and (II) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date of such issuance or sale (after giving effect to such issuance or sale) of the additional shares of Common Stock.

(A) For the purposes of any adjustment of the Conversion Price for each series of Preferred Stock pursuant to this clause (i), the following provisions shall be applicable:

(w) The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding shall include, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock actually outstanding, (I) the number of shares of Common Stock into which the then outstanding shares of each series of Preferred Stock could be converted if fully converted on the day immediately preceding the issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale of the additional shares of Common Stock; and (II) the number of shares of Common Stock which would be obtained through the exercise or conversion of all rights, options and convertible securities outstanding on the day immediately preceding the issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale of the additional shares of Common Stock.

(x) In the case of the issuance of Common Stock for cash, the consideration shall be deemed to be the amount of cash paid therefor after deducting any discounts or commissions paid or incurred by the Corporation in connection with the issuance and sale thereof.

(y) In the case of the issuance of Common Stock for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair value thereof as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, in accordance with generally accepted accounting treatment; provided, however, that if, at the time of such determination, the Corporation’s Common Stock is traded in the over-the-counter market or on a national or regional securities exchange, such fair market value as determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall not exceed the aggregate “Current Market Price” (as defined below) of the shares of Common Stock being issued.

(z) In the case of the issuance of (i) options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock (directly or indirectly), (ii) securities by their terms convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (directly or indirectly), or (iii) options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities:

 

- 8 -


(1) the aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of such options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such options or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration (determined in the manner provided in subdivisions (x) and (y) above), if any, received by the Corporation upon the issuance of such options or rights plus the minimum purchase price provided in such options or rights for the Common Stock covered thereby;

(2) the aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of or in exchange for any such convertible or exchangeable securities, or upon the exercise of options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities and subsequent conversion or exchange thereof, shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such securities were issued or such options or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration received by the Corporation for any such securities and related options or rights (excluding any cash received on account of accrued interest or accrued dividends), plus the additional minimum consideration, if any, to be received by the Corporation upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or the exercise of any related options or rights (the consideration in each case to be determined in the manner provided in subdivisions (x) and (y) above);

(3) on any change in the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of any such options or rights or conversion of or exchange for such convertible or exchangeable securities, or on any change in the minimum purchase price of such options, rights or securities, other than a change resulting from the antidilution provisions of options, rights or securities, the Conversion Price of each series of Preferred Stock shall forthwith be readjusted to such Conversion Price as would have been obtained had the adjustment made upon (x) the issuance of such options, rights or securities not exercised, converted or exchanged prior to such change or (y) the options or rights related to such securities not converted or exchanged prior to such change, as the case may be, been made upon the basis of such change; and

(4) on the expiration of any such options or rights, the termination of any such rights to convert or exchange or the expiration of any options or rights related to such convertible or exchangeable securities, the Conversion Price of each series of Preferred Stock shall forthwith be readjusted to such Conversion Price as would have been obtained had the adjustment made upon the issuance of such options or rights, convertible or exchangeable securities or options or rights related to such convertible or exchangeable securities, as the case may be, been made upon the basis of the issuance of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued upon the exercise of such options or rights, upon the conversion or exchange of such convertible or exchangeable securities or upon the exercise of the options or rights related to such convertible or exchangeable securities, as the case may be.

(ii) “Excluded Stock” shall mean:.

(A) any shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of any Preferred Stock;

 

- 9 -


(B) shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the acquisition of another entity by the Corporation by merger, purchase of all or substantially all of the assets, purchase of a majority of the Corporation’s outstanding voting stock, or other reorganization, provided such transaction and issuance is approved by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, including a majority of the Preferred Stock Directors;

(C) shares issued in connection with strategic transactions involving the Corporation and other entities, other than for primarily capital raising purposes, including the issuance of securities to financial lending institutions or in connection with commercial credit, equipment leasing or equipment financing arrangements, joint ventures, corporate partnering agreements, customer or vendor transactions, manufacturing, marketing or distribution arrangements and licensing, technology transfer or development arrangements; provided that such transactions and the issuance of shares is approved by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, including a majority of the Preferred Stock Directors;

(D) up to 6,023,056 shares of capital stock and/or stock options (plus an additional number of shares of capital stock or stock options that are cancelled or terminated without having been exercised and are again available for grant under the applicable plan) issued (including upon exercise of such stock options) to officers, employees, consultants or advisors pursuant to a stock grant, stock option or purchase plan or other employee stock incentive program approved by the Board of Directors, including a majority of the Preferred Stock Directors;

(E) securities issued in connection with a Qualified IPO undertaken by the Corporation pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act;

(F) shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise of any warrants, options or rights that are outstanding as of the date that this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Filing Date”);

(G) shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Corporation deemed to constitute Excluded Stock by the written consent of the holders of at least sixty percent (60%) of the series of Preferred Stock whose Conversion Rate would otherwise be adjusted pursuant to this Section 4 as a result of such issuance, voting as a single and separate class; and

(H) shares of Common Stock issued by way of dividends, stock splits, or other distributions on shares of Common Stock if appropriate adjustments are made in connection with such issuance pursuant to Sections 4(e)(iii), (iv), (v) or (vi).

All outstanding shares of Excluded Stock (including shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock) shall be deemed to be outstanding for all purposes of the computations of Section 4(e)(i) above.

 

- 10 -


(iii) If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after the Filing Date is increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly, additional shares of Common Stock, or by a subdivision or split-up of shares of Common Stock, then, on the date such payment is made or such change is effective, the Conversion Price of each series of Preferred Stock shall be appropriately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of any shares of each series of Preferred Stock shall be increased in proportion to such increase of outstanding shares (determined on an as-converted into Common Stock basis).

(iv) If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after the Filing Date is decreased by a combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then, on the effective date of such combination, the Conversion Price of each series of Preferred Stock shall be appropriately increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of any shares of each series of Preferred Stock shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares.

(v) In case the Corporation shall declare a cash dividend upon its Common Stock payable otherwise than out of retained earnings or shall distribute to holders of its Common Stock shares of its capital stock (other than Common Stock), stock or other securities of other persons, evidences of indebtedness issued by the Corporation or other persons, assets (excluding cash dividends) or options or rights (excluding options to purchase and rights to subscribe for Common Stock or other securities of the Corporation convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock), then, in each such case, the holders of shares of Preferred Stock shall, concurrent with the distribution to holders of Common Stock, receive a like distribution based upon the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Preferred Stock is then convertible.

(vi) In case, at any time after the date hereof, of any capital reorganization, or any reclassification of the stock of the Corporation (other than as a result of a stock dividend or subdivision, split-up or combination of shares), or the consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another person (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Corporation is the continuing entity and which does not result in a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation under Section 2(c)), each share of Preferred Stock shall, after such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or other disposition, be convertible into the kind and number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Corporation or otherwise to which such holder would have been entitled if immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or other disposition such holder had converted its shares of Preferred Stock into Common Stock. The provisions of this clause (vi) shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales or other dispositions.

(vii) If the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any other class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares provided for above), the respective Conversion Price for each series of Preferred Stock then in effect shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such reorganization or reclassification, be proportionately adjusted such that each series of Preferred

 

- 11 -


Stock shall be convertible into, in lieu of the number of shares of Common Stock which the holders would otherwise have been entitled to receive, a number of shares of such other class or classes of stock equivalent to the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been subject to receipt by the holders upon conversion of each series of Preferred Stock immediately before that change.

(viii) All calculations under this Section 4 shall be made to the nearest one-tenth of one cent ($0.001) or to the nearest one hundredth (1/100) of a share, as the case may be.

(ix) For the purpose of any computation pursuant to this Section 4(e), the “Current Market Price” at any date of one share of Common Stock, shall be determined in accordance with Section 2(d)(i) and (ii); provided, however, that if the quotations referred to in Section 2(d)(i) and (ii) are not available for the period required hereunder, Current Market Price shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, including a majority of the Preferred Stock Directors.

(f) Minimal Adjustments. No adjustment in the Conversion Price for any series of Preferred Stock need be made if such adjustment would result in a change in the applicable Conversion Price of less than $0.001. Any adjustment of less than $0.001 which is not made shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment which, on a cumulative basis, amounts to an adjustment of $0.001 or more in the applicable Conversion Price:

(g) Waiver of Adjustment to Conversion Price. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any downward adjustment of the Conversion Price of any series of Preferred Stock may be waived, either prospectively or retroactively and either generally or in a particular instance, by the consent or vote of the holders of fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding shares of such series of Preferred Stock, voting as a single and separate class. Any such waiver shall bind all future holders of shares of such series of Preferred Stock regarding the downward adjustment so waived.

(h) No Impairment. The Corporation will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation through any reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Corporation, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Article IV and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the Conversion Rights of the holders of Preferred Stock against impairment. This provision shall not restrict the Corporation’s right to amend its Certificate of Incorporation with the requisite stockholder consent provided for herein and in accordance with the DGCL.

(i) Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Rate for any series of Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 4, the Corporation at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to each holder of Preferred Stock a

 

- 12 -


certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Corporation shall, upon written request at any time of any holder of Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (i) all such adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the Conversation Rate at the time in effect, and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of such holder’s shares of Preferred Stock.

(j) Notices of Record Date and Proposed Liquidation Distribution. In the event of any taking by the Corporation of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend) or other distribution, any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property or to receive any other right, or to exchange their shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock (or other securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon a reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, the Corporation shall mail to each holder of Preferred Stock at least twenty (20) days prior to such record date, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right. In the event of a liquidation distribution pursuant to Section 2 hereof, the Corporation shall mail to each holder of Preferred Stock at least twenty (20) days prior to the date of such distribution a notice (i) certifying as to (x) the anticipated aggregate proceeds available for distribution to holders of Preferred Stock and Common Stock, (y) the amount expected to be distributed pursuant to Section 2 in respect of each share of Preferred Stock and each share of Common Stock and (z) the amount expected to be distributed pursuant to Section 2 in respect of each share of Preferred Stock if the holder of each such share of Preferred Stock converted such share of Preferred Stock into Common Stock immediately prior to the liquidation distribution and (ii) stating that the holders of shares of Preferred Stock may prior to such liquidation distribution convert their shares of such Preferred Stock into Common Stock at the then applicable Conversion Rate.

(k) Notices.

(l) Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of Preferred Stock such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.

ARTICLE I

STOCKHOLDERS

1.1 Place of Meetings. All meetings of stockholders shall be held at such place, if any, as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Five9, Inc. (the “Corporation”), the Chairman of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer or, if not so designated, at the principal office of the Corporation. The Board may, in its sole discretion, determine that a meeting shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication in accordance with Section 211(a) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”).

1.2 Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of stockholders for the election of directors to succeed those whose terms expire and for the transaction of such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting shall be held on a date and at a time designated by the Board, the Chairman of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer (which date shall not be a legal holiday in the place, if any, where the meeting is to be held). The Board may postpone, reschedule or cancel any previously scheduled annual meeting of stockholders.

1.3 Special Meetings. Special meetings of stockholders for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by (a) the Board, (b) the Chairman of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer, and (c) the holders of shares entitled to cast not less than ten percent (10%) of the votes at the special meeting. The Board may postpone, reschedule or cancel any previously scheduled special meeting of stockholders. Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to matters relating to the purpose or purposes stated in the notice of meeting.

1.4 Notice of Meetings. Except as otherwise provided by law, notice of each meeting of stockholders, whether annual or special, shall be given not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting as of the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given to stockholders, any notice shall be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to (in a manner consistent with the DGCL) by the stockholder to whom the notice is given. The notices of all meetings shall state the place, if any, date and time of the meeting, the means of remote communications, if any,


by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, and the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (if such date is different from the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting). The notice of a special meeting shall state, in addition, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. If notice is given by mail, such notice shall be deemed given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at such stockholder’s address as it appears on the records of the Corporation. If notice is given by electronic transmission, such notice shall be deemed given at the time specified in Section 232 of the DGCL.

1.5 Voting List. The Secretary shall prepare, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (provided, however, if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than ten (10) days before the date of the meeting, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the tenth day before the meeting date), arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting: (a) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (b) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the Corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then the list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting. Except as otherwise provided by law, the list shall presumptively determine the identity of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and the number of shares held by each of them.

1.6 Quorum. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of the capital stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person, present

 

2


by means of remote communication in a manner, if any, authorized by the Board in its sole discretion, or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business; provided, however, that where a separate vote by a class or classes or series of capital stock is required by law or the Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of such class or classes or series of the capital stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote on such matter, present in person, present by means of remote communication in a manner, if any, authorized by the Board in its sole discretion, or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to the vote on such matter. A quorum, once established at a meeting, shall not be broken by the withdrawal of enough votes to leave less than a quorum.

1.7 Adjournments. Any meeting of stockholders, annual or special, may be adjourned from time to time to any other time and to any other place at which a meeting of stockholders may be held under these Bylaws by the chairman of the meeting or, if directed to be voted on by the chairman of the meeting, by the stockholders present or represented at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon, although less than a quorum. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. If after the adjournment a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the Board shall fix as the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each stockholder of record as of the record date so fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting. At the adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting.

1.8 Proxies. Each stockholder of record entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may vote in person (including by means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting) or may authorize another person or persons to vote for such stockholder by a proxy executed or transmitted in a manner permitted by applicable law. No such proxy shall be voted upon after three years from the date of its execution, unless the proxy expressly provides for a longer period.

 

3


1.9 Action at Meeting. When a quorum is present at any meeting, any matter other than the election of directors to be voted upon by the stockholders at such meeting shall be decided by the vote of the holders of shares of stock having a majority in voting power of the votes cast by the holders of all of the shares of stock present or represented at the meeting and voting affirmatively or negatively on such matter (or if there are two or more classes or series of stock entitled to vote as separate classes, then in the case of each such class or series, the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of stock of that class or series present or represented at the meeting and voting affirmatively or negatively on such matter), except when a different vote is required by applicable law, regulation applicable to the Corporation or its securities, the rules or regulations of any stock exchange applicable to the Corporation, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws. Voting at meetings of stockholders need not be by written ballot. At all meetings of stockholders for the election of directors at which a quorum is present a plurality of the votes cast shall be sufficient to elect.

1.10 Reserved.

1.11 Conduct of Meetings.

(a) Meetings of stockholders shall be presided over by the Chairman of the Board, if any, or in the Chairman’s absence by the Vice Chairman of the Board, if any, or in the Vice Chairman’s absence by the Chief Executive Officer, or in the Chief Executive Officer’s absence, by the President, or in the President’s absence by a Vice President, or in the absence of all of the foregoing persons by a chairman designated by the Board. The Secretary shall act as secretary of the meeting, but in the Secretary’s absence the chairman of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting.

(b) The Board may adopt by resolution such rules, regulations and procedures for the conduct of any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation as it shall deem appropriate including, without limitation, such guidelines and procedures as it may deem appropriate regarding the participation by means of remote communication of stockholders and proxyholders not physically present at a meeting. Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules, regulations and procedures as adopted by the Board, the chairman of any meeting of stockholders shall have the right and authority to convene and (for any or no reason) to recess and/or adjourn the

 

4


meeting, to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chairman, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board or prescribed by the chairman of the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following: (i) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (ii) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (iii) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders of record of the Corporation, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as shall be determined; (iv) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and (v) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants. Unless and to the extent determined by the Board or the chairman of the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure.

(c) The chairman of the meeting shall announce at the meeting when the polls for each matter to be voted upon at the meeting will be opened and closed. After the polls close, no ballots, proxies or votes or any revocations or changes thereto may be accepted.

(d) In advance of any meeting of stockholders, the Board, the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer or the President shall appoint one or more inspectors of election to act at the meeting and make a written report thereof. One or more other persons may be designated as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate is present, ready and willing to act at a meeting of stockholders, the chairman of the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Unless otherwise required by law, inspectors may be officers, employees or agents of the Corporation. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of such inspector’s duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of such inspector’s ability. The inspector shall have the duties prescribed by law and, when the vote is completed, shall make a certificate of the result of the vote taken and of such other facts as may be required by law. Every vote taken by ballots shall be counted by a duly appointed inspector or duly appointed inspectors.

2.14 Meetings by Conference Communications Equipment. Directors may participate in meetings of the Board or any committee thereof by means of conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation by such means shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.

4.1 Issuance of Stock. Subject to the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, the whole or any part of any unissued balance of the authorized capital stock of the Corporation or the whole or any part of any shares of the authorized capital stock of the Corporation held in the Corporation’s treasury may be issued, sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by vote of the Board in such manner, for such lawful consideration and on such terms as the Board may determine.

4.2 Stock Certificates; Uncertificated Shares. The shares of the Corporation shall be represented by certificates, provided that the Board may provide by resolution or resolutions that some or all of any or all classes or series of the Corporation’s stock shall be uncertificated shares. Every holder of stock of the Corporation represented by certificates shall be entitled to have a certificate, in such form as may be prescribed by law and by the Board, representing the number of shares held by such holder registered in certificate form. Each such certificate shall be signed in a manner that complies with Section 158 of the DGCL.

Each certificate for shares of stock which are subject to any restriction on transfer pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, applicable securities laws or any agreement among any number of stockholders or among such holders and the Corporation shall have conspicuously noted on the face or back of the certificate either the full text of the restriction or a statement of the existence of such restriction.

If the Corporation shall be authorized to issue more than one class of stock or more than one series of any class, the powers, designations, preferences and relative participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights shall be set forth in full or summarized on the face or back of each certificate representing shares of such class or series of stock, provided that in lieu of the foregoing requirements there may be set forth on the face or back of each certificate representing shares of such class or series of stock a statement that the Corporation will furnish without charge to each stockholder who so requests the powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights.

 

13


Within a reasonable time after the issuance or transfer of uncertificated shares, the Corporation shall send to the registered owner thereof a written notice containing the information required to be set forth or stated on certificates pursuant to Sections 151, 156, 202(a) or 218(a) of the DGCL or, with respect to Section 151 of DGCL, a statement that the Corporation will furnish without charge to each stockholder who so requests the powers, designations, preferences and relative participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights.

4.3 Transfers. Shares of stock of the Corporation shall be transferable in the manner prescribed by law, the Certificate of Incorporation and in these Bylaws. Transfers of shares of stock of the Corporation shall be made only on the books of the Corporation or by transfer agents designated to transfer shares of stock of the Corporation. Subject to applicable law, shares of stock represented by certificates shall be transferred only on the books of the Corporation by the surrender to the Corporation or its transfer agent of the certificate representing such shares properly endorsed or accompanied by a written assignment or power of attorney properly executed, and with such proof of authority or the authenticity of signature as the Corporation or its transfer agent may reasonably require. Except as may be otherwise required by law, by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these Bylaws, the Corporation shall be entitled to treat the record holder of stock as shown on its books as the owner of such stock for all purposes, including the payment of dividends and the right to vote with respect to such stock, regardless of any transfer, pledge or other disposition of such stock until the shares have been transferred on the books of the Corporation in accordance with the requirements of these Bylaws.

4.4 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. The Corporation may issue a new certificate or uncertificated shares in place of any previously issued certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon such terms and conditions as the Board may prescribe, including the presentation of reasonable evidence of such loss, theft or destruction and the giving of such indemnity and posting of such bond as the Board may require for the protection of the Corporation or any transfer agent or registrar.

 

14


4.5 Record Date. In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, and which record date shall, unless otherwise required by law, not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting. If the Board so fixes a date, such date shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the Board determines, at the time it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination. If no record date is fixed by the Board, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board may fix a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and in such case shall also fix as the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote in accordance herewith at the adjourned meeting.

In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board may fix a record date, which shall not be more than sixty (60) days prior to such action. If no such record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto.

4.6 Regulations. The issue and registration of shares of stock of the Corporation shall be governed by such other regulations as the Board may establish.

5.1 Fiscal Year. Except as from time to time otherwise designated by the Board, the fiscal year of the Corporation shall begin on the first day of January of each year and end on the last day of December in each year.

5.2 Corporate Seal. The corporate seal shall be in such form as shall be approved by the Board.

5.3 Waiver of Notice. Whenever notice is required to be given by law, by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these Bylaws, a written waiver signed by the person entitled to notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, whether before, at or after the time of the event for which notice is to be given, shall be deemed equivalent to notice required to be given to such person. Neither the business nor the purpose of any meeting need be specified in any such waiver. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

5.4 Voting of Securities. Except as the Board may otherwise designate, the Chief Executive Officer, the President, the Chief Financial Officer or the Treasurer may waive notice, vote, consent, or appoint any person or persons to waive notice, vote or consent, on behalf of the Corporation, and act as, or appoint any person or persons to act as, proxy or attorney-in-fact for this Corporation (with or without power of substitution), with respect to the securities of any other entity which may be held by this Corporation.

5.5 Evidence of Authority. A certificate by the Secretary, or an Assistant Secretary, or a temporary Secretary, as to any action taken by the stockholders, directors, a committee or any officer or representative of the Corporation shall as to all persons who rely on the certificate in good faith be conclusive evidence of such action.

 

16


5.6 Certificate of Incorporation. All references in these Bylaws to the Certificate of Incorporation shall be deemed to refer to the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, as amended and/or restated and in effect from time to time.

5.7 Severability. Any determination that any provision of these Bylaws is for any reason inapplicable, illegal or ineffective shall not affect or invalidate any other provision of these Bylaws.

5.8 Pronouns. All pronouns used in these Bylaws shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine or neuter, singular or plural, as the identity of the person or persons may require.

5.9 Electronic Transmission.

ARTICLE VI

AMENDMENTS

These Bylaws may be altered, amended or repealed, in whole or in part, or new Bylaws may be adopted by the Board or by the stockholders as expressly provided in the Certificate of Incorporation.

ARTICLE VII

INDEMNIFICATION AND ADVANCEMENT

7.1 Power to Indemnify in Actions, Suits or Proceedings other than Those by or in the Right of the Corporation. Subject to Section 7.3, the Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another

 

17


Corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such person’s conduct was unlawful.

7.2 Power to Indemnify in Actions, Suits or Proceedings by or in the Right of the Corporation. Subject to Section 7.3, the Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another Corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation; except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

 

18


7.3 Authorization of Indemnification. Any indemnification under this Article VII (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director or officer is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.2, as the case may be. Such determination shall be made, with respect to a person who is a director or officer at the time of such determination, (i) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (ii) by a committee of such directors designated by a majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (iii) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion or (iv) by the stockholders. Such determination shall be made, with respect to former directors and officers, by any person or persons having the authority to act on the matter on behalf of the Corporation. To the extent, however, that a present or former director or officer of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith, without the necessity of authorization in the specific case.

7.4 Good Faith Defined. For purposes of any determination under Section 7.3, a person shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, to have had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful, if such person’s action is based on good faith reliance on the records or books of account of the Corporation or another enterprise, or on information supplied to such person by the officers of the Corporation or another enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Corporation or another enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the Corporation or another enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Corporation or another enterprise. The term “another enterprise” as used in this Section 7.4 shall mean any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise of which such person is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent. The provisions of this Section 7.4 shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the circumstances in which a person may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 7.1 or 7.2, as the case may be.

 

19


7.5 Right of Claimant to Bring Suit. Notwithstanding any contrary determination in the specific case under Section 7.3, and notwithstanding the absence of any determination thereunder, if a claim under Sections 7.1 or 7.2 of the Article VII is not paid in full by the Corporation within (i) ninety (90) days after a written claim for indemnification has been received by the Corporation, or (ii) thirty (30) days after a written claim for an advancement of expenses has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter (but not before) bring suit against the Corporation in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware to recover the unpaid amount of the claim, together with interest thereon, or to obtain advancement of expenses, as applicable. It shall be a defense to any such action brought to enforce a right to indemnification (but not in an action brought to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the DGCL (or other applicable law) for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither a contrary determination in the specific case under Section 7.3 nor the absence of any determination thereunder shall be a defense to such application or create a presumption that the claimant has not met any applicable standard of conduct. If successful, in whole or in part, the claimant shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim, including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection therewith, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

7.6 Expenses Payable in Advance. Expenses, including without limitation attorneys’ fees, incurred by a current or former director or officer in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such current or former director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article VII.

7.7 Nonexclusivity of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses. The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant to this Article VII shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the Certificate of Incorporation, any agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s

 

20


official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, it being the policy of the Corporation that, subject to Section 7.11, indemnification of the persons specified in Sections 7.1 and 7.2 shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by law. The provisions of this Article VII shall not be deemed to preclude the indemnification of any person who is not specified in Section 7.1 or 7.2 but whom the Corporation has the power or obligation to indemnify under the provisions of the DGCL, or otherwise.

7.8 Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power or the obligation to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of this Article VII.

7.9 Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Article VII, references to “the Corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, employees or agents so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article VII with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as such person would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. For purposes of this Article VII, references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect of any employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the Corporation” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation” as referred to in this Article VII.

 

21


7.10 Survival of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article VII shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

7.11 Limitation on Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article VII to the contrary, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification (which shall be governed by Section 7.5), the Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify any director, officer, employee or agent in connection with an action, suit proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless such action, suit or proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board.

7.12 Contract Rights. The obligations of the Corporation under this Article VII to indemnify, and advance expenses to, a person who is or was a director or officer of the Corporation shall be considered a contract between the Corporation and such person, and no modification or repeal of any provision of this Article VII shall affect, to the detriment of such person, such obligations of the Corporation in connection with a claim based on any act or failure to act occurring before such modification or repeal.

2. Registration Rights.

2.1 Request for Registration.

(a) If the Company shall receive at any time after the earlier of (i) three years from the date of this Agreement or (ii) six (6) months following the effective date of the first registration statement for a public offering of securities of the Company (other than a registration statement relating either to the sale of securities to employees of the Company pursuant to a stock option, stock purchase or similar plan or a SEC Rule 145 transaction) (the “Initial Registration”), a written request from the Holders of at least thirty (30%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding (the “Initiating Holders”) that the Company file a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the registration of Registrable Securities with an aggregate offering price expected to exceed $10,000,000, then the Company shall, within ten (10) days of the receipt thereof, give written notice of such request to all Holders and shall, subject to the limitations of Section 2.1(b), use its best efforts to effect as soon as practicable the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities which the Holders request to be registered within twenty (20) days of the mailing of such written notice by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to take any action to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section 2.1(a):

(i) During the period starting with the date one-hundred twenty (120) days prior to the Company’s estimated date of filing of, and ending on the date one-hundred eighty (180) days immediately following the effective date of, any registration statement pertaining to securities of the Company (other than a registration of securities in a Rule 145 transaction or with respect to an employee benefit plan), provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith all reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective;

 

5


(ii) After the Company has effected two (2) such registrations pursuant to this Section 2.1 (a), and each such registration has been declared or ordered effective (counting for these purposes only registrations which have been declared or ordered effective);

(iii) If the Company shall furnish to such Holders a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer or President of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board it would be seriously detrimental to the Company or its stockholders for a registration statement to be filed at such time, then the Company’s obligation to use its best efforts to register, qualify or comply under this Section 2.1(a) shall be deferred for a period not to exceed 120 days from the date of receipt of the written request from the Holders; provided, however, that the Company may not utilize this right more than once in any twelve-month period.

(b) If the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to this Section 2.1 and the Company shall include such information in the written notice referred to in Section 2.1(a). In such event, the right of any Holder to include such Holder’s 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 (unless otherwise mutually agreed by a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders and such Holder) to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company as provided in Section 2.3(e)) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company with the approval of a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.1, if the underwriter advises the Initiating Holders in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the Initiating Holders shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities which would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated among all Holders thereof, including the Initiating Holders, in the proportion (as nearly as practicable) that the amount of Registrable Securities of the Company owned by each Holder participating in such underwriting bears to the number of shares of Registrable Securities held by all such Holders; provided, however, that the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in any such underwriting shall not be reduced unless all other securities, including any shares offered by the Company, are first entirely excluded from the underwriting.

2.2 Company Registration. If (but without any obligation to do so) the Company proposes to register (including for this purpose a registration effected by the Company for stockholders other than the Holders, but excluding any registration pursuant to Section 2.10 hereof) any of its stock or other securities under the Securities Act in connection with the public offering of such securities solely for cash (other than a registration relating solely to the sale of securities to participants in a Company stock plan, or a registration on any form which does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration

 

6


statement covering the sale of the Registrable Securities), the Company shall, at such time, promptly give each Holder written notice of such registration. Upon the written request of each Holder given within twenty (20) days after mailing of written notice by the Company, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 2.6, cause to be registered under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities that each such Holder has requested to be registered. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 2.2 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. The underwriting and cut-back requirements for any registration under this Section 2.2 are as set forth in Section 2.6 hereof.

2.3 Obligations of the Company. Whenever required under this Section 2 to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

(a) Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, and, upon the request of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep such registration statement effective for the earlier of one hundred twenty (120) days or until the distribution described in the Registration Statement has been completed if a shorter period (the “Effectiveness Period”); provided, however, that (i) the Effectiveness Period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period the Holder refrains from selling any securities included in such registration at the request of an underwriter of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company; and (ii) in the case of any registration of Registrable Securities on Form S-3 which are intended to be offered on a continuous or delayed basis, the Effectiveness Period shall be extended, if necessary, to keep the registration statement effective until all such Registrable Securities are sold up to 180 days, provided that Rule 415, or any successor rule under the Securities Act, permits an offering on a continuous or delayed basis, and provided further that applicable rules under the Securities Act governing the obligation to file a post effective amendment permit, in lieu of filing a post effective amendment which (A) includes any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act or (B) reflects facts or events representing a material or fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement, the incorporation by reference of information required to be included in (A) and (B) above to be contained in periodic reports filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act in the registration statement.

(b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement.

(c) Furnish to the Holders such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them.

 

7


(d) Use its best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under the other securities or Blue Sky laws of such other jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders, provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions.

(e) In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter of such offering. Each Holder participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement.

(f) Notify each Holder covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing, and, as promptly as practicable thereafter, prepare and file with the SEC, and furnish without charge to the appropriate Holders and managing underwriters, if any, a supplement or amendment to such registration statement or prospectus which will correct such statement or omission and such copies thereof as the Holders and any underwriters may reasonably request.

(g) Cause all such Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereunder to be listed on each securities exchange or automated quotation system on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed.

(h) Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereunder and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration.

(i) Furnish, at the request of any Holder requesting registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale in connection with a registration pursuant to this Section 2, if such securities are being sold through underwriters, or, if such securities are not being sold through underwriters, on the date that the registration statement with respect to such securities becomes effective, (i) an opinion, dated such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and (ii) a letter dated such date, from the independent certified public accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting registration of Registrable Securities (to the extent the then applicable standards of professional conduct permit said letter to be addressed to the Holders).

(j) Use its best efforts to comply with, and remain in compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended.

 

8


2.4 Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 2 with respect to the Registrable Securities of any selling Holder that such Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to effect the registration of such Holder’s Registrable Securities.

2.5 Expenses of Registration. The Company shall bear and pay all expenses incurred in connection with any registration, filing or qualification of Registrable Securities with respect to the registrations pursuant to Sections 2.1, 2.2 and 2.10 for each Holder (which right may be assigned as provided in Section 2.11), including (without limitation) all registration, filing, and qualification fees, printers and accounting fees relating or apportionable thereto, and the reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel selected by the selling Holders to represent the selling Holders, but excluding stock transfer taxes and any underwriting discounts and commissions relating to Registrable Securities.

2.6 Underwriting Requirements. In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares being issued by the Company, the Company shall not be required under Section 2.2 to include any of the Holders’ securities in such underwriting unless they accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by it (or by other persons entitled to select the underwriters), and then only in such quantity as will not, in the opinion of the underwriters, jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company, but in no event will the amount of Registrable Securities of the selling Holders included in the offering be reduced below thirty percent (30%) of the total amount of securities included in such offering, unless such offering is the Initial Registration, in which case the selling Holders may be excluded entirely if the underwriters make the determination described above and no other stockholder’s securities are included. If the underwriter determines in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation in the number of shares to be underwritten, subject to the limitations set forth herein, the number of shares that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated first, to the Company; second to Holders other than Major Common Holders on a pro rata basis based on the ratio of the number of Registrable Securities then held by such Holders to the aggregate number of Registrable Securities then outstanding; third to Major Common Holders on a pro rata basis based on the ratio of the number of Registrable Securities then held by such Major Common Holders to the aggregate number of Registrable Securities then outstanding; and fourth to any other stockholder of the Company (other than a Holder) on a pro rata basis. For purposes of apportionment, any selling stockholder which is a Holder of Registrable Securities and which is a partnership or corporation, the partners, retired partners and stockholders 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 “selling stockholder,” and any pro rata reduction with respect to such “selling stockholder” shall be based upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying registration rights owned by all entities and individuals included in such “selling stockholder,” as defined in this sentence.

2.7 Delay of Registration. No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 2.

2.8 Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under this Section 2:

(a) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the officers, directors, partners, members and Affiliates of each Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for such Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a “Violation”) (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law; and the Company will pay to each such Holder, officer, director and Affiliate of such Holder, underwriter or controlling person, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.8(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by any such Holder, officer, director or Affiliate of such Holder, underwriter or controlling person.

(b) Each selling Holder will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, any underwriter, any other Holder selling securities in such registration statement and any officer, director, Affiliate or controlling person of any such underwriter or other Holder, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration; and each such Holder will pay, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any Person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.8(b), in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.8(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, that, in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 2.8(b) exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.

 

10


(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 2.8 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 2.8, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and 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 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. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if materially prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 2.8, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 2.8.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.8 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense 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 statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, that, in no event shall any contribution by a Holder under this Section 2.8(d), together with any amounts under Section 2.8(b), exceed the gross proceeds from the offering received by such Holder, except in the case of willful fraud by such Holder. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined 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.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control; provided, that, in no event shall any contribution or indemnification by such selling Holder under the provisions in such underwriting agreement exceed the gross proceeds from the offering received by such selling Holder.

 

11


(f) The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 2.8 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement under this Section 2, and otherwise.

With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form S-3, the Company agrees to:

(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144, at all times after the effective date of the first registration statement filed by the Company for the offering of its securities to the general public;

(b) take such action, including the voluntary registration of its Common Stock under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, as is necessary to enable the Holders to utilize Form S-3 for the sale of their Registrable Securities, such action to be taken as soon as practicable after the end of the fiscal year in which the first registration statement filed by the Company for the offering of its securities to the general public is declared effective;

(c) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and

(d) furnish to any Holder, so long as the Holder owns any Registrable Securities, forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of SEC Rule 144 (at any time after ninety (90) days after the effective date of the first registration statement filed by the Company), the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements), or that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form S-3 (at any time after it so qualifies), (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the SEC which permits the selling of any such securities without registration or pursuant to such form.

2.10 Form S-3 Registration. If the Company receives from any Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities a written request or requests that the Company effect a registration on Form S-3 and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or Holders, the Company will:

(a) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration, and any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders; and

(b) as soon as practicable, effect such registration and all such qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Holder’s or Holders’ Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such written notice from the Company; provided, however, that

 

12


the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance, pursuant to this Section 2.10: (1) if Form S-3 is not available for such offering by the Holders; (2) if the Holders, together with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) at an aggregate price to the public of less than $1,000,000; (3) if the Company shall furnish to the Holders a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer or President of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such Form S-3 Registration to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer the filing of the Form S-3 registration statement for a period of not more than 90 days after receipt of the request of the Holder or Holders under this Section 2.10; provided, however, that the Company shall not utilize this right more than once in any twelve (12) month period; (4) in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to qualify to do business or to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance; or (5) if the Company has effected two (2) registrations on Form S-3 at the request of the Holders during the prior twelve (12) month period.

(c) If the Holders initiating the registration request hereunder (the “Participating Holders”) intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as part of their request made pursuant to this Section and the Company shall include such information in the written notice referred to in Section 2.10(a). In such event, the right of any Holder to include such Holder’s 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 (unless otherwise mutually agreed by a majority in interest of the Participating Holders and such Holder) to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company as provided in Section 2.3(e)) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by a majority in interest of the Participating Holders. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.10, if the underwriter advises the Participating Holders in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the Participating Holders shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities which would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated among all Holders thereof, including the Participating Holders, in the proportion (as nearly as practicable) that the amount of Registrable Securities of the Company owned by each Holder bears to the number of shares of Registrable Securities then outstanding; provided, however, that the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in any such underwriting shall not be reduced unless all other securities, including any shares offered by the Company, are first entirely excluded from the underwriting.

(d) Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall file a registration statement covering the Registrable Securities and other securities so requested to be registered as soon as practicable after receipt of the request or requests of the Holders. All expenses incurred in connection with a registration requested pursuant to Section 2.10, including (without limitation) all registration, filing, qualification, printer’s and accounting fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and fees and disbursements of one counsel for the

 

13


selling Holder or Holders, but excluding stock transfer taxes, and any underwriter discounts or commissions associated with Registrable Securities, shall be borne by the Company. Registrations effected pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall not be counted as the demand for registration or registrations effected pursuant to Sections 2.1 or 2.2, respectively.

2.11 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 any of the following Transferees or assignees of Registrable Securities: (A) any such Transferee or assignee who holds, subsequent to such Transfer, twenty-five percent (25%) of the total number of shares of Registrable Securities (as adjusted for stock splits, bonuses, combinations, and the like) held by the transferor-Holder; or (B) any such Transferee or assignee who holds, subsequent to such Transfer, five percent (5%) of the total number of then-outstanding shares of Preferred Stock; or (C) a partner, limited partner, former partner, member, former member, stockholder, subsidiary, wholly-owned entity, parent or other Affiliate of a Holder; or (D) a Holder’s family member or trust for the benefit of an individual Holder or any family member; provided that (i) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such Transfer, furnished with 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 assignment shall be effective only if immediately following such Transfer the Transferee agrees in writing to, and is bound by the terms and conditions of, this Agreement and such Transfer of any Registrable Securities is lawful under all applicable securities laws.

2.12 “Market Stand-Off’ Agreement. Each Holder shall not sell or otherwise transfer, make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale, of any Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company held by such Holder (other than those included in the registration) during the one hundred eighty (180) day period following the effective date of the Initial Registration (or such other period as may be requested by the Company or an underwriter to accommodate regulatory restrictions on (i) the publication or other distribution of research reports and (ii) analyst recommendations and opinions, including but not limited to, the restrictions contained in NASD Rule 2711(f)(4) or NYSE Rule 472(f)(4), or any successor provisions or amendments thereto); provided, however, that all officers and directors of the Company and holders of at least one percent (1%) of the Company’s voting securities are bound by and have entered into similar agreements.

In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Registrable Securities of each Investor (and the shares or securities of every other Person subject to the foregoing restriction) until the end of such period.

2.13 Termination of Registration Rights. No Holder shall be entitled to exercise any right provided for in Sections 2.1, 2.2 and 2.10 after the earlier of (i) five (5) years following the consummation of the Qualified IPO, or (ii) as to a given Holder, when such Holder can sell all of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in a consecutive ninety (90) day period pursuant to a Rule 144 Open Market Transaction.

2.14 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 Holders of at least sixty percent (60%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 2.14 shall be binding upon each Holder, Major Common Holder and the Company.

2.15 Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holders of at least sixty percent (60%) of the Registrable Securities, enter into any agreement (other than this Agreement) with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company which would allow such holder or prospective holder (a) to include securities of the Company in any registration statement upon terms which are the same or more favorable to such holder or prospective holder than the terms on which holders of Registrable Shares may include shares in such registration unless such inclusion will not result in any reduction of the Registrable Securities included in such registration statement by the Holders or (b) to make a demand registration which could result in such registration statement being declared effective prior to the dates set forth in Section 2.1.

3. Information Rights.

3.1 Inspection. The Company shall permit each Holder holding (together with its Affiliates) an aggregate of at least 2,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock (appropriately adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, and the like) (each, a “Major Holder” and collectively, the “Major Holders”), at such Major Holder’s expense, to visit and inspect the Company’s properties, to examine its books of account and records and to discuss the Company’s affairs, finances and accounts with its officers, at the Company’s principal executive offices, at such reasonable times as may be requested by such Holder; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to this Section 3.1 to provide access to any information which the Board determines in reasonably and in good faith is a trade secret or similar confidential information unless such Major Holder agrees in writing to hold such information in confidence.

3.2 Delivery of Financial Statements. The Company shall deliver to each Major Holder:

(a) as soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty (30) days prior to the end of the Company’s fiscal year, an annual capital budget and operating plan for the Company for the following fiscal year;

(b) as soon as practicable, but in no event later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company (unless otherwise waived by the Board (including all of the Preferred Stock Directors)), an audited balance sheet dated as of the last day of the applicable fiscal year, and statements of operations, cash flow and stockholders’ equity for such fiscal year. Such year-end financial reports to be in reasonable detail, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and audited and certified by independent public accountants of nationally recognized standing approved by the Company’s Board, including a majority of the Preferred Stock Directors;

 

15


(c) within thirty (30) days of the end of each fiscal quarter of the Company, an unaudited statement of operations and cash flow, and a balance sheet for and as of the end of such quarter, in reasonable detail and prepared in accordance with GAAP, subject to year end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes; and

(d) as soon as practicable after the end of each month, and in any event within twenty (20) days thereafter, an unaudited statement of operations and cash flow and balance sheet for such month, in reasonable detail and prepared in accordance with GAAP, subject to year end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes.

3.3 Maintenance of Books. The Company will maintain true books and records of account in which full and correct entries will be made of all its business transactions pursuant to a system of accounting established and administered in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied (except as noted therein), and will set aside on its books all such proper accruals and reserves as shall be required under generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied.

3.4 Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance. At any time after the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Effective Date, upon request of a majority of the Preferred Stock Directors, the Company shall diligently, promptly and expeditiously undertake and implement such reasonable procedures and controls related to financial reporting and measurement as would be required of a reporting Company under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (as amended and in effect at such time).

3.5 Termination of Information Rights. The covenants set forth in this Section 3 shall terminate as to Major Holders and be of no further force and effect upon the earlier to occur of (i) the consummation of the Qualified IPO or (ii) the closing date of an Acquisition.

4. Investors’ Right of First Offer.

4.1 Right of First Offer. The Company hereby grants to each Major Holder, on the terms set forth in this Section 4, a right of first offer to purchase all or any part of such Major Holder’s Pro Rata Share (as defined below) of the New Securities which the Company may, from time to time, propose to sell and issue (the “Right of First Offer”). The Major Holders may purchase said New Securities on the same terms and at the same price at which the Company proposes to sell the New Securities. For the purposes of this Section 4, a Major Holder’s “Pro Rata Share” shall be that portion of the New Securities which equals the proportion that the number of shares of Common Stock (assuming conversion of all Shares then held by such Major Holder into Common Stock) then held by such Major Holder bears to the total number of Shares then outstanding.

4.2 Notice of Proposed Issuance. In the event the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of New Securities, it shall deliver to the Major Holders written notice (the “Notice”) of its intention, describing the type of New Securities, the price, the terms upon which the Company proposes to issue the same, the date of the proposed issuance and a statement as to the number of days from receipt of such Notice within which the Major Holders must respond to such Notice. The Major Holders shall have twenty (20) days from the date of receipt of the

 

16


Notice to purchase any or all of the New Securities for the price and upon the terms specified in the Notice by giving written notice to the Company and stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased and forwarding payment for such New Securities to the Company if immediate payment is required by such terms, or in any event no later than the date of the proposed issuance as set forth in the Notice. If not all of the Major Holders elect to purchase their Pro Rata Share of the New Securities, then the Company shall promptly notify in writing the Major Holders who do so elect to purchase all of their Pro Rata Share of the New Securities and shall offer such subscribing Major Holder the right to acquire their Pro Rata Share of any unsubscribed New Securities. Each subscribing Major Holder shall have five (5) days after receipt of such notice (the “Overallotment Notice Period”) to notify the Company in writing of its election to purchase all of its Pro Rata Share of the unsubscribed New Securities. If the Major Holders fail to exercise in full their Right of First Offer hereunder, the Company may sell any unsubscribed New Securities for which such Major Holder’s Right of First Offer was not exercised, at a price and upon terms and conditions no more favorable then specified in the Notice, within sixty (60) days of the end of the Overallotment Notice Period.

4.3 Transfer of Rights. The Right of First Offer granted under this Section 4 may not be assigned or transferred, except that such right is assignable or transferable in the same circumstances as set forth for the transfer of registration rights set forth in Section 2.11 hereof; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 4 shall be binding upon any such assignee or Transferee.

4.4 Termination of Rights. The Right of First Offer granted under this Section 4 shall expire upon the earlier to occur of the consummation of (i) a Qualified IPO or (ii) an Acquisition.

4.5 Limitations on Subsequent Rights. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of at least sixty percent (60%) of the Registrable Securities then held by the Major Holders, enter into any agreement (other than this Agreement) with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company which would grant such holder or prospective holder senior or superior first offer rights as to issuances of New Securities.

5. Employee Matters.

5.1 Proprietary Rights Agreement. Except as set forth in the Schedule of Exceptions attached to the Purchase Agreement, each current employee and consultant has and each future employee and consultant of the Company will enter into a proprietary information and inventions assignment agreement (which shall include a waiver of their moral rights in all intellectual property developed in connection with their employment with or work for the Company, as well as a non-solicitation covenant).

5.2 Voting By Major Common Holders. In addition to the obligations set forth in Section 6, at all times that any Major Common Holder is an employee or consultant of the Company, and at all times following the termination of employment, each Major Common Holder hereby covenants to and shall vote his or her Shares, whether at an annual meeting, special meeting or by written consent, in a manner consistent with the majority of all other holders of Shares.

(a) for the removal of any director upon the request of the party or parties entitled to nominate such director (as provided in Section 6.1) and for the election to the Board of a substitute director nominated by such party or parties entitled to elect such replacement director in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.1;

19


non-voting observer capacity, and, in this respect, the Company shall, at the Company’s expense, give such Observer copies of all notices, minutes and other materials that it provides to its directors; provided, however, that the Observer shall agree to hold in confidence and trust all information so provided to the same extent as if the Observer was a member of the Board, provided, further, that other than maintaining such confidentiality, such Observer shall have no duties (fiduciary or otherwise) to the Company. Meetings to be held by telephone conference and actions to be taken by consent shall not be prohibited provided notice is given to the Observer consistent with that provided to the directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company reserves the right to exclude such Observer from any meeting or decline to provide such Observer with access to any notices, minutes, consents or other materials (“Materials”) provided to the directors by the Company if the Company reasonably believes, upon advice of counsel, that such exclusion is reasonably necessary to preserve the attorney-client privilege, or if in the Company’s reasonable judgment such exclusion from the meeting or the access to the Materials is necessary either to protect the highly confidential and sensitive nature of the subject matter of the Board discussion, because of a potential or actual conflict of interest involving such Holder or its Observer, or because of the competitive nature of such subject matter.

6.6 No Liability for Election of Recommended Directors; Manner of Voting. None of the Company, any Major Common Holder, any Holder, nor any officer, director, stockholder, partner, employee or agent of any such party, makes any representation or warranty as to the fitness or competence of the nominee of any other party hereunder to serve on the Board by virtue of such party’s execution of this Agreement or by the act of such party in voting for such nominee pursuant to this Agreement. The voting of Shares pursuant to this Agreement may be effected in person, by proxy, by written consent, or in any other manner permitted by applicable law.

Such actions include, without limitation, the use of the Company’s best efforts to cause the nomination and election of the directors as provided above. The Company will not, by any voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all of the provisions of this Agreement and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary, appropriate or reasonable in order to protect the rights of the parties hereunder against impairment.

6.8 Additional Shares. In the event that following the Effective Date any shares or other securities (other than any shares or securities of another corporation issued to the Company’s stockholders pursuant to any Acquisition) are issued to any Holder or Major Common Holder on, or in exchange for, any of the Shares by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification or consolidation involving the Company, such shares or securities shall be deemed to be Shares for purposes of this Agreement and subject to the provisions hereof.

6.9 Termination. The provisions of this Section 6 shall terminate and shall be of no further force and effect on the earliest to occur of the consummation of (i) a Qualified IPO or (ii) an Acquisition.

 

20


7. Drag-Along Rights.

7.1 Right to Compel Sale. If Holders holding at least sixty percent (60%) of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock (collectively the “Approving Stockholders”) and the Board, including a majority of the Preferred Stock Directors, approve an Acquisition (the “Approved Sale”), then each and every one of the Major Common Holders and Holders, including the Approving Stockholders (the “Constituent Stockholders”), agrees, subject to the final sentence of this Section 7.1, to (i) be present, in person or by proxy, as a holder of Shares, at all meetings for the vote of any of the above matters (and can be counted for the purposes of determining a quorum at such meetings) and vote all of their Shares in favor of the Approved Sale and in opposition of any proposals that could reasonably be expected to delay or impair the consummation of the Approved Sale, (ii) raise no objections to the Approved Sale or the process pursuant to which the Approved Sale was arranged, (iii) refrain from exercising any dissenters’ rights or rights of appraisal under applicable law at any time with respect to the Approved Sale, (iv) take all actions required in connection with the Approved Sale, including without limitation voting all of his, her or its Shares in favor of any matter that could reasonably be expected to facilitate the Approved Sale; and if the Approved Sale is structured as a sale of the stock of the Company, each Constituent Stockholder agrees that it shall sell its Shares on the terms and conditions approved by the Approving Stockholders and the Board and (v) to cooperate with and execute and deliver such other documents as may be reasonably requested in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Approved Sale, including, without limitation, documents containing representations and warranties as to title, power and authority, such other representations, warranties and covenants as are approved by the Approving Stockholders and returning any written consent related to the Approved Sale in a prompt manner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Constituent Stockholder will only be required to take the actions set forth above in connection with an Approved Sale if (A) the terms of an Approved Sale do not provide that such Constituent Stockholder would receive less than the amount that would be distributed to such Constituent Stockholder in the event the proceeds of the sale of the Company were distributed in accordance with the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended and in effect at such time; (B) all indemnification, escrow and other liabilities are allocated on a pro rata basis; (C) such Constituent Stockholder is not required to make representations and warranties or covenants regarding the Company or any other stockholder of the Company, (D) such Constituent Stockholder is not required to assume liability that exceeds the proceeds received by such Constituent Stockholder in the Approved Sale (other than for fraud or willful misrepresentation by such Constituent Stockholder) and (E) such Constituent Stockholder is not required to agree to a non-competition or non-solicitation covenant in connection with the Approved Sale.

7.2 Exercise of Right. The Approving Stockholders shall exercise their rights hereunder by delivery of written notice (the “Approved Transfer Notice”) to the Company, and the Company shall deliver the Approved Transfer Notice to the other Constituent Stockholders at least fifteen (15) days prior to the expected closing date (the “Expected Closing Date”) of the transactions contemplated by the Approved Sale. The Approved Transfer Notice shall include the form and amount of consideration per Share to be paid to each Approving Stockholder and Constituent Stockholder and all other material terms and conditions of the Approved Sale. If required to consummate the Approved Sale, on or before ten (10) days prior to the Expected Closing Date, each of the Constituent Stockholders shall deliver to the transfer agent of the

 

21


Company certificates representing the Shares held by such Constituent Stockholder, free and clear of any and all liens and encumbrances whatsoever, together with such other documents and instruments of transfer that the third-party acquiring the Company may reasonably request.

7.3 Failure to Consummate the Approved Sale. If within ninety (90) days after the Expected Closing Date, the Company and the Approving Stockholders have not completed the Approved Sale (unless such failure is due to any Constituent Stockholder’s failure to surrender for transfer his or its certificates or take such other reasonable actions required to consummate the Approved Sale), the Company shall return to each of the Constituent Stockholders all stock certificates previously surrendered by the Constituent Stockholders in connection with the proposed Approved Sale, and all the restrictions on transfers contained herein with respect to the Shares of the Company shall again be in effect. Such a failure to complete the Approved Sale shall not be a breach of any Approving Stockholder’s obligations under this Agreement and shall not constitute a waiver of the rights of the Approving Stockholders to again exercise their rights under this Section 7 at any time thereafter.

7.4 Legend on Share Certificates. Each certificate representing any Shares shall be endorsed by the Company with a legend reading substantially as follows:

“THE SHARES EVIDENCED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO A STOCKHOLDERS’ AGREEMENT (AS AMENDED AND IN EFFECT FROM TIME TO TIME), A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED UPON WRITTEN REQUEST FROM THE ISSUER, AND BY ACCEPTING ANY INTEREST IN SUCH SHARES THE PERSON ACCEPTING SUCH INTEREST SHALL BE DEEMED TO AGREE TO AND SHALL BECOME BOUND BY ALL THE PROVISIONS OF SAID AGREEMENT.”

7.5 Termination. The provisions of this Section 7 shall terminate and shall be of no further force and effect on the earliest to occur of the consummation of (i) a Qualified IPO or (ii) an Acquisition.

8. Transfers by Major Common Holders.

8.1 Offering Notice. A Major Common Holder who proposes to Transfer any Shares other than in any Exempt Transfer (a “Transferring Major Common Holder”) shall give the Company and all Major Holders (the “Right Holders”) written notice (the “Offering Notice”) of his, her or its intention to sell Shares (the “Offered Shares”), describing the Offered Shares (including the number of shares proposed to be sold and the proposed Transferee of the shares), the price and all other material terms and conditions upon which the Transferring Major Common Holder proposes to Transfer the Offered Shares. The Offering Notice shall be signed by (i) the Transferring Major Common Holder or his, her or its respective representative, and (ii) the proposed Transferee, and the Offering Notice shall constitute a binding agreement for the transfer of the Shares subject only to the First Refusal Right and Co-Sale Right (each as defined herein).

 

22


8.2 The Company’s Option to Purchase. Within twenty (20) days after receipt of the Offering Notice containing all required information, the Company may elect to purchase any or all of the Offered Shares on the terms set forth in the Offering Notice, by delivery of written notice of such election to the Transferring Major Common Holder. Should the Company fail to purchase all of the Offered Shares in the manner provided above, the Company shall promptly give written notice (the “Right Holders Notice”) to the Right Holders, specifying the number of Offered Shares not purchased by the Company (the “Remaining Shares”).

8.3 Co-Sale and Right of First Refusal Rights.

(a) Co-Sale/Right of First Refusal. Subject to the Company’s purchase rights under Section 8.2 above, each Right Holder shall have, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, at its option, with respect to any proposed Transfer of any Shares by a Transferring Major Common Holder, either a right to sell (the “Co-Sale Right”) or a right to purchase (a “First Refusal Right”) up to its applicable Ratable Portion (as defined below) of the Offered Shares or Remaining Shares, as the case may be, at the same price and on the same terms and conditions as contained in the Offering Notice from the Transferring Major Common Holder. For the purposes of this Section 8, “Ratable Portion” shall mean: (i) with regard to the First Refusal Right, a number of Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the aggregate number of Remaining Shares by (B) a fraction, (x) the numerator of which is the number of Shares at the time owned by such Right Holder, and (y) the denominator of which is the number of Shares then held by all Right Holders desiring to exercise the First Refusal Right, and (ii) with regard to the Co-Sale Right, a number of Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the aggregate number of Remaining Shares by (B) a fraction, (x) the numerator of which is the number of Shares at the time owned by such Right Holder and (y) the denominator of which is the number of Shares then held by the Transferring Major Common Holder and all of the Right Holders that desire to exercise the Co-Sale Right.

(b) Exercise of Co-Sale/Right of First Refusal. Each Right Holder shall have twenty (20) days from receipt of the Right Holders Notice to exercise either its Co-Sale Right or its First Refusal Right with respect to the Remaining Shares in connection with such proposed Transfer by giving written notice to the Company and the Transferring Major Common Holder and stating therein (i) the number of Remaining Shares such Right Holder desires to purchase under the First Refusal Right, whether less than, equal to or greater than its Ratable Portion and (ii) if such Right Holder elects not to exercise its First Refusal Right, the number of Offered Shares such Right Holder desires to sell under its Co-Sale Right, whether less than, equal to, or greater than its Ratable Portion. If any Right Holder fails to exercise (x) its right to purchase all of its Ratable Portion under the First Refusal Right or (y) its rights to sell all of its Ratable Portion under the Co-Sale Right, the Right Holders requesting to purchase or sell, as the case may be, shares in excess of their Ratable Portion (the “Overallotment Amount”) shall either purchase the number of the Remaining Shares as to which the First Refusal Rights were not exercised, or sell the number of Offered Shares as to which Co-Sale Rights were not exercised, on a Ratable Portion basis among such Right Holders until all Overallotment Amounts have been allocated among such Right Holders. Within five (5) days thereafter, the Company shall give notice (the “Final Notice”) to each Right Holder and the Transferring Major Common Holder as to (i) the exact number of Offered Shares that each Right Holder has elected to purchase, if the First Refusal Right is being fully exercised, or (ii) the number of shares each Right Holder will be selling, if the Co-Sale Right is exercised.

 

23


(c) Consummation of First Refusal Rights Purchase.

(i) Purchase by the Company or Right Holders of Any Offered Shares. Should the Company and/or the Right Holders elect to purchase some or all of the Offered Shares, then on the later to occur of (i) the date set for consummation of the purchase under the Offering Notice, or (ii) fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Final Notice, any Right Holders participating in the purchase, shall deliver to the Company’s outside legal counsel or other agent agreed upon by a majority of the participating Holders on the one hand and the Transferring Major Common Holder on the other (the “Escrow Holder”), such cash, notes, or other instruments as may be required to consummate their purchase. The Transferring Major Common Holder shall contemporaneously deliver the certificates evidencing the Offered Shares, together with blank stock transfer powers to the Escrow Holder. The Escrow Holder shall consummate the purchase in accordance with this Agreement by delivering the consideration for the Offered Shares to the Transferring Major Common Holder, causing any Remaining Shares purchased by Right Holders to be transferred to the names of the Right Holders on the books of the Company and canceling the certificates representing that portion of the Offered Shares purchased by the Company. The purchase by a Right Holder of any Offered Shares under the First Refusal Right is also subject in all cases to the execution and delivery by the Transferring Major Common Holder of a warranty that the Transferring Major Common Holder owns good and marketable title to such Offered Shares, free of all liens, encumbrances and claims of others and otherwise and has received all necessary consents to effect the Transfer, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to such Right Holder and its legal counsel. The purchase price shall be paid, at the election of each Right Holder, either (i) in accordance with the terms contained in the Offering Notice or (ii) by wire transfer of immediately available funds, delivery of a check representing good funds, cancellation of indebtedness, or any combination of the foregoing.

(ii) Failure of the Company or Right Holders to Purchase All of the Offered Shares. Should the Company and/or the Right Holders not elect to purchase all of the Offered Shares, then, subject only to the right of Co-Sale set forth in Section 8.3(d) below, the Transferring Major Common Holder shall be entitled to Transfer the Offered Shares that are not purchased by the Company and/or the Right Holders to the proposed Transferee at the price specified in the Offering Notice and on other terms and conditions not materially different than those set forth in the Offering Notice; provided, however, that such Transfer must be consummated within ninety (90) calendar days after delivery of the Offering Notice to the Company and the other Right Holders, and any proposed sale of such Offered Shares after such ninety (90) day period may be made only by again complying with the procedures set forth above; provided that the Transferee prior to the effectiveness of the Transfer agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

(d) Right of Co-Sale Exercise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 8.3(c)(ii), the Transferring Major Common Holder shall not be entitled to Transfer to the proposed Transferee, pursuant to the terms of the Offering Notice, more than that number of Offered Shares which equals the difference between (A)(i) the number of shares of Offered Shares as to which the Co-Sale Rights are exercised by the Right Holders, if any, plus (ii) the number of shares of Offered Shares as to which the First Refusal Right was exercised, and (B) the total number of Remaining Shares. Subject to the foregoing, the proposed Transferee shall purchase all Offered Shares from the Right Holders, if any, that such Right Holders have exercised their Co-Sale Rights, and the Transferring Major Common Holder simultaneously, if applicable.

 

24


8.4 Termination of Transfer Restrictions. The first refusal and co-sale rights granted under this Section 8 shall terminate upon the consummation of (i) a Qualified IPO, or (ii) an Acquisition, whichever is earlier to occur.

(c) grant a security interest over any assets of the Company, except for customary factoring agreements which may require the Company to grant a security interest in or to its account receivables;

(d) make any single (or series of related) capital expenditure in excess of $250,000 unless such expenditure was disclosed in a budget previously approved by the Board;

Unless otherwise approved by the Board of Directors (including a majority of the Preferred Stock Directors) or issued pursuant to agreements in effect as of the Effective Date, all existing and future stock options and other stock equivalents (an “Equity Award”) issued to employees, directors, consultants and other service providers as initial grants shall not provide for acceleration of vesting and shall be subject to vesting as follows: (a) twenty-five percent (25%) of such Equity Award shall vest at the end of the first year following the earlier of the date of issuance or such person’s services commencement date with the Company, and (b) 1/36th of the balance of such Equity Award shall vest ratably over the subsequent thirty-six (36) months.

9.3 Repurchase Rights. Unless otherwise approved by the Board of Directors (including a majority of the Preferred Stock Directors), the Company will have the right to repurchase unvested restricted stock issued to employees, directors, consultants and other service providers at the holder’s cost upon termination of employment or the cessation of providing services to the Company (for any reason, with or without cause).

9.4 Transfer of Shares. Unless otherwise approved by the Board of Directors (including a majority of the Preferred Stock Directors), the terms of any options or restricted stock issued by the Company shall prohibit the transfer of unvested shares by the holder and shall grant the Company a right of first refusal with respect to the transfer of vested shares.

9.5 Major Common Holders. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that each Person who becomes a Major Common Holder after the Effective Date will be added as a party to this Agreement and will be bound by its terms.

9.6 Termination of Covenants. The covenants of the Company contained in this Section 9 shall terminate and not be applicable upon the consummation of (i) a Qualified IPO, or (ii) an Acquisition, whichever is earlier to occur.

10. Miscellaneous Matters.

10.1 Waivers and Amendments. Any term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement 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 holders of at least sixty percent (60%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding; provided, however, that (i) any amendment or waiver with respect to Section 6 shall require the vote or written consent of SAPV, ASP, PIV and HWVP, (ii) so long as at least 1,000,000 shares of Series B-2 Stock are issued and outstanding, any amendment or waiver with respect to Section 7 shall require the vote or written consent of the holders of at least fifty percent (50%) of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the Series B-2 Stock, (iii) so long as at least 1,000,000 shares of Series D-2 Stock are issued and outstanding, any amendment or waiver with respect to Section 7 shall require the vote or written consent of the holders of at least fifty percent (50%) of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the Series D-2 Stock and (iv) any amendment or waiver that affects the rights or obligations of one Holder in a materially different manner than any other Holder shall require the vote or written consent of such Holder.

Exhibit 4.3

THIS WARRANT AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON THE EXERCISE HEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

FIVE9, INC.

WARRANT TO PURCHASE SHARES

This warrant (the “Warrant”) is issued as of February 26, 2008, to                          (the “Investor”) by Five9, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), pursuant to the terms of that certain Convertible Secured Promissory Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated as of February             , 2008, as such agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time (the “Purchase Agreement”), in connection with the Investor’s commitment to purchase certain Notes (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).

1. Purchase of Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth and set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the holder of this Warrant is entitled, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company (or at such other place as the Company shall notify the holder hereof in writing), to purchase from the Company up to the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock (the “Shares”), that equals the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the Warrant Coverage Amount (as defined below) by (b) the Exercise Price (as defined below).

2. Definitions.

(a) Exercise Price. The exercise price for the Shares shall be $0.163 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combinations and the like) (the “Exercise Price”).

(b) Exercise Period. This Warrant shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, until the earliest to occur of (i) the seven (7)-year anniversary of the date hereof; or (ii) the issuance and sale of shares of the Company’s common stock in the Company’s first underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Exercise Period”).

(c) Warrant Coverage Amount. The term “Warrant Coverage Amount” means an amount equal to Eleven Thousand Four Hundred Forty-Seven Dollars and Ninety-Eight Cents ($11,447.98).

(d) Shares. The term “Shares” means shares of the Company’s Series A-2 Preferred Stock.

3. Method of Exercise. While this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable in accordance with Section 2(b) above, the holder may exercise, in whole or in part, the purchase rights evidenced hereby. Such exercise shall be effected by:

(i) the surrender of the Warrant, together with delivery of an executed notice of Exercise in the form attached as Exhibit A to the Secretary of the Company at its principal offices; and


(ii) the payment to the Company in cash, check or wire transfer of an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for the number of Shares being purchased.

4. Net Exercise. In lieu of cash exercising this Warrant pursuant to Section 3 above, the holder of this Warrant may elect to receive Shares equal to the value of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with notice of such election, in which event the Company shall issue to the holder hereof a number of Shares computed using the following formula:

 

  Y (A - B)  

X =

          A  

Where

 

  X — The number of Shares to be issued to the holder of this Warrant.

 

  Y — The number of Shares purchasable under this Warrant.

 

  A — The fair market value of one Share.

 

  B — The Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculations).

For purposes of this Section 4, the fair market value of a Share shall mean the average of the closing bid and asked prices of Shares, or common stock issuable upon the conversion thereof, as applicable, quoted in the over-the-counter market in which the Shares, or common stock issuable upon the conversion thereof, as applicable, are traded or the closing price quoted on any exchange on which the Shares, or common stock issuable upon the conversion thereof, as applicable, are listed or the Nasdaq Global Market, whichever is applicable, as published in the Western Edition of The Wall Street Journal for the ten (10) trading days prior to the date of determination of fair market value (or such shorter period of time during which such stock was traded over-the-counter or on such exchange or the Nasdaq Global Market). If the Shares, or common stock issuable upon the conversion thereof, as applicable, are not traded on the over-the-counter market or on an exchange or the Nasdaq Global Market, the fair market value shall be the price per Share that the Company could obtain from a willing buyer for Shares sold by the Company from authorized but unissued Shares, as such prices shall be determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors, or, if this Warrant is exercised in connection with and contingent upon an initial public offering of the Company’s capital stock, the fair market value shall be the price per share at which shares of the Company’s stock are sold to the public as set forth in the final prospectus in connection with such offering.

5. Certificates for Shares. Upon the exercise of the purchase rights evidenced by this Warrant, one or more certificates for the number of Shares so purchased and, if this Warrant has not been fully exercised and has not expired, a new warrant representing the Shares not so purchased, shall be issued as soon as practicable thereafter, and in any event within thirty (30) days of the delivery of the subscription notice.

6. Issuance of Shares. The Company covenants that the Shares, when issued pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof and issued in compliance with all applicable federal and State securities laws.

 

-2-


7. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The number of and kind of securities purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

(a) Subdivisions, Combinations and Other Issuances. If the Company shall at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant subdivide the Shares, by split-up or otherwise, or combine the Shares, or issue additional Shares as a dividend, the number of Shares issuable on the exercise of this Warrant shall forthwith be proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision or stock dividend, or proportionately decreased in the case of a combination. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the Exercise Price, but the aggregate Exercise Price payable for the total number of Shares purchasable under this Warrant (as adjusted) shall remain the same. Any adjustment under this Section 7(a) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective, or as of the record date of such dividend, or in the event that no record date is fixed, upon the making of such dividend.

(b) Reclassification, Reorganization and Consolidation. In case of any reclassification, capital reorganization or change in the capital stock of the Company (other than as a result of a subdivision, combination or stock dividend provided for in Section 7(a) above), then the Company shall make appropriate provision so that the holder of this Warrant shall have the right at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant to purchase, at an aggregate Exercise Price equal to that payable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable in connection with such reclassification, reorganization or change by a holder of the same number of Shares as were purchasable by the holder of this Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification, reorganization or change. In any such case, appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interest of the holder of this Warrant so that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable with respect to any shares of stock or other securities and property deliverable upon exercise hereof, and appropriate adjustments shall be made to the Exercise Price per Share payable hereunder, provided the aggregate Exercise Price shall remain the same.

(c) Conversion. If all of the Company’s outstanding Series A-2 Preferred Stock is redeemed or converted into shares of Common Stock, then this Warrant shall automatically become exercisable for that number of shares of Common Stock that would have been received if this Warrant had been exercised in full and the Shares received thereupon had been simultaneously converted into shares of Common Stock, in each case immediately prior to such redemption or conversion. Appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the holder of this Warrant so that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable with respect to any shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise hereof, and appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the purchase price payable per share, but the aggregate purchase price payable for the total number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under this Warrant (as adjusted) shall remain the same.

(d) Adjustments for Diluting Issuances. In the event of the issuance (a “Diluting Issuance”) by the Company, after the date this Warrant was issued, of securities other than “Excluded Stock” (as defined in the Company’s Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended from time to time (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) at a price per share less than the Warrant Price, then the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares shall be adjusted in accordance with the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation.

 

-3-


(e) Notice of Adjustment. When any adjustment is required to be made in the number or kind of Shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant, or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall promptly notify the holder of such event and of the number of Shares or other securities or property thereafter purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant.

(f) Assumption of Warrant.

If upon the closing of any Change of Control (as defined in the Notes) the successor entity assumes the obligations of this Warrant, then this Warrant shall be exercisable for the same securities, cash, and property as would be payable for the Shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant as if such Shares were outstanding on the record date for the Change of Control. The Exercise Price shall be adjusted accordingly. The Company shall uses reasonable efforts to cause the surviving corporation to assume the obligations of this Warrant.

If upon the closing of any Change of Control the successor entity does not assume the obligations of this Warrant and Investor has not otherwise exercised this Warrant in full, then this Warrant shall be deemed to have been automatically converted pursuant to this Section 7(f) and thereafter Investor shall participate in the Change of Control on the same terms as other holders of the same class of securities of the Company.

8. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional Shares or scrip representing fractional Shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but in lieu of such fractional Shares of the Company shall make a cash payment therefor on the basis of the Exercise Price then in effect.

9. Representations of the Company. The Company represents that all corporate actions on the part of the Company, its officers, directors and stockholders necessary for the sale and issuance of this Warrant have been taken.

10. Restrictive Legend.

The Shares (unless registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”)) shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”). SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM UNDER THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. COPIES OF THE AGREEMENT COVERING THE PURCHASE OF THESE SHARES AND RESTRICTING THEIR TRANSFER MAY BE OBTAINED AT NO COST BY WRITTEN REQUEST MADE BY THE HOLDER OF RECORD OF THIS CERTIFICATE TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY AT THE PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICES OF THE COMPANY.

11. Warrants Transferable. Subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of this Section 11, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, without charge to the holder hereof (except for transfer taxes), upon surrender of this Warrant properly endorsed or accompanied by written instructions of transfer (including the Form of Transfer attached hereto at Exhibit B).

offer, sale or other disposition of this Warrant or any Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant prior to registration of such Warrant or Shares, the holder hereof agrees not to make any sale or other disposition of all or a portion of this Warrant or the Shares unless and until the transferee has agreed in writing for the benefit of the Company to be bound by the terms of this Warrant, including, without limitations, this Seciton 11, and the holder gives written notice to the Company prior thereto, describing briefly the manner of such sale or disposition, together with a written opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or other evidence, if requested by the Company, to the effect that such offer, sale or other disposition may be effected without registration or qualification (under the Act as then in effect or any federal or state securities law then in effect) of this Warrant or the Shares and indicating whether or not under the Act certificates for this Warrant or the Shares to be sold or otherwise disposed of require any restrictive legend as to applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance with such law; provided, however, that the Company will not require a written opinion of such holder’s counsel or any other evidence relating to registration or qualification for any transfers by the holder to any of the Investors (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement) or their Affiliates (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement). Upon receiving such written notice and satisfactory opinion or other evidence, if so required, the Company, as promptly as practicable, shall notify such holder that such holder may sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or such Shares, all in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered to the Company. If a determination has been made pursuant to this Section 11 that the opinion of counsel or other evidence is not reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the Company shall so notify the holder promptly with details thereof after such determination has been made. Each certificate representing this Warrant or the Shares transferred in accordance with this Section 11 shall bear a legend as to the applicable restrictions on transferability in order to ensure compliance with such laws, unless in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such legend is not required in order to ensure compliance with such laws. The Company may issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent in connection with such restrictions.

12. Rights of Stockholders. No holder of this Warrant shall be entitled, as a Warrant holder, to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of the Shares or any other securities of the Company which may at any time be issuable on the exercise hereof for any purpose, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the holder of this Warrant, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of stock, reclassification of stock, change of par value, consolidation, merger, conveyance or other otherwise) or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise until the Warrant shall have been duly exercised and the Shares purchasable upon the exercise hereof shall have become deliverable, as provided herein.

WARRANT TO PURCHASE STOCK

 

Company:    Five9, Inc.
Number of Shares:    52,054
Type/Series of Stock:    Series D-2 Preferred Stock
Warrant Price:    $1.4408 per share
Issue Date:    October 18, 2013
Expiration Date:    October 18, 2023 (subject to Section 5.1 below)
Credit Facility:    This Warrant to Purchase Stock (“Warrant”) is issued in connection with that certain Loan and Security Agreement of even date herewith between City National Bank and Five9, Inc. (the “Company”).

THIS WARRANT CERTIFIES THAT, for good and valuable consideration, CITY NATIONAL BANK (together with any successor or permitted assignee or transferee of this Warrant or of any shares issued upon exercise hereof, “Holder”) is entitled to purchase the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares (the “Shares”) of the above-stated Type/Series of Stock (the “Class”) of the Company at the above-stated Warrant Price, all as set forth above and as adjusted pursuant to Section 2 of this Warrant, subject to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Warrant. Reference is made to Section 5.4 of this Warrant whereby City National Bank shall transfer this Warrant to its parent company, City National Corporation.

SECTION 1. EXERCISE.

1.1 Method of Exercise. Holder may at any time and from time to time exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, by delivering to the Company the original of this Warrant together with a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached hereto as Appendix 1 and, unless Holder is exercising this Warrant pursuant to a cashless exercise set forth in Section 1.2, a check, wire transfer of same-day funds (to an account designated by the Company), or other form of payment acceptable to the Company for the aggregate Warrant Price for the Shares being purchased.

1.2 Cashless Exercise. On any exercise of this Warrant, in lieu of payment of the aggregate Warrant Price in the manner as specified in Section 1.1 above, but otherwise in accordance with the requirements of Section 1.1, Holder may elect to receive Shares equal to the value of this Warrant, or portion hereof as to which this Warrant is being exercised. Thereupon, the Company shall issue to Holder such number of fully paid and non-assessable Shares as are computed using the following formula:

X = Y(A-B)/A

where:

 

  X = the number of Shares to be issued to Holder;

 

  Y = the number of Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised (inclusive of the Shares surrendered to the Company in payment of the aggregate Warrant Price);

 

1


  A = the Fair Market Value (as determined pursuant to Section 1.3 below) of one Share; and

 

  B = the Warrant Price.

1.3 Fair Market Value. If the Company’s common stock is then traded or quoted on a nationally recognized securities exchange, inter-dealer quotation system or over-the-counter market (a “Trading Market”) and the Class is common stock, the fair market value of a Share shall be the closing price or last sale price of a share of common stock reported for the Business Day immediately before the date on which Holder delivers this Warrant together with its Notice of Exercise to the Company. If the Company’s common stock is then traded in a Trading Market and the Class is a series of the Company’s convertible preferred stock, the fair market value of a Share shall be the closing price or last sale price of a share of the Company’s common stock reported for the Business Day immediately before the date on which Holder delivers this Warrant together with its Notice of Exercise to the Company multiplied by the number of shares of the Company’s common stock into which a Share is then convertible. If the Company’s common stock is not traded in a Trading Market, the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine the fair market value of a Share in its reasonable good faith judgment.

1.4 Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant. Within a reasonable time after Holder exercises this Warrant in the manner set forth in Section 1.1 or 1.2 above, the Company shall deliver to Holder a certificate representing the Shares issued to Holder upon such exercise and, if this Warrant has not been fully exercised and has not expired, a new warrant of like tenor representing the Shares not so acquired.

1.5 Replacement of Warrant. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form, substance and amount to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender of this Warrant to the Company for cancellation, the Company shall, within a reasonable time, execute and deliver to Holder, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor and amount.

SECTION 2. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES AND WARRANT PRICE.

2.1 Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc. If the Company declares or pays a dividend or distribution on the outstanding shares of the Class payable in common stock or other securities or property (other than cash), then upon exercise of this Warrant, for each Share acquired, Holder shall receive, without additional cost to Holder, the total number and kind of securities and property which Holder would have received had Holder owned the Shares of record as of the date the dividend or distribution occurred. If the Company subdivides the outstanding shares of the Class by reclassification or otherwise into a greater number of shares, the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be proportionately increased and the Warrant Price shall be proportionately decreased. If the outstanding shares of the Class are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased and the number of Shares shall be proportionately decreased.

2.2 Reclassification, Exchange, Combinations or Substitution. Upon any reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event that results in a change of the number and/or class of the securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant, the number and kind of securities and property that Holder would have received for the Shares if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before such reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event. Such an event shall include any automatic conversion of the outstanding or issuable securities of the Company of the same class or series as the Shares to common stock pursuant to the terms of the Company’s certificate of incorporation upon the closing of a registered public offering of the Company’s common stock. Upon the closing of an Acquisition (as defined below), and subject to Section 5.1 hereof, the successor entity shall assume the obligations of this Warrant, and this Warrant thereafter shall be exercisable for the same securities, cash, and property as would be payable for the Shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant as if such Shares were outstanding on the record date for the Acquisition and subsequent closing. The Company or its successor shall promptly issue to Holder a new Warrant for such new securities or other property. The new Warrant shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article 2 including, without limitation, adjustments to the Warrant Price and to the number of securities or property issuable upon exercise of the new Warrant. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, substitutions, or other events.

 

2


2.3 Conversion of Preferred Stock. If the Class is a class and series of the Company’s convertible preferred stock, in the event that all outstanding shares of the Class are converted, automatically or by action of Holders thereof, into common stock pursuant to the provisions of the Company’s certificate of incorporation, including, without limitation, in connection with the Company’s initial, underwritten public offering and sale of its common stock pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act (the “IPO”), then from and after the date on which all outstanding shares of the Class have been so converted, this Warrant shall be exercisable for such number of shares of common stock into which the Shares would have been converted had the Shares been outstanding on the date of such conversion, and the Warrant Price shall equal the Warrant Price in effect as of immediately prior to such conversion divided by the number of shares of common stock into which one Share would have been converted, all subject to further adjustment thereafter from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant.

2.4 Adjustments for Diluting Issuances. Without duplication of any adjustment otherwise provided for in this Section 2, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares shall be subject to anti-dilution adjustment from time to time in the manner set forth in the Company’s certificate of incorporation as if the Shares were issued and outstanding on and as of the date of any such required adjustment.

2.5 No Fractional Share. No fractional Share shall be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and the number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. If a fractional Share interest arises upon any exercise of the Warrant, the Company shall eliminate such fractional Share interest by paying Holder in cash the amount computed by multiplying the fractional interest by (i) the fair market value (as determined in accordance with Section 1.3 above) of a full Share, less (ii) the then-effective Warrant Price.

2.6 Notice/Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price, Class and/or number of Shares, the Company, at the Company’s expense, shall notify Holder in writing within a reasonable time setting forth the adjustments to the Warrant Price, Class and/or number of Shares and facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company shall, upon written request from Holder, furnish Holder with a certificate of its Chief Financial Officer, including computations of such adjustment and the Warrant Price, Class and number of Shares in effect upon the date of such adjustment.

SECTION 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.

3.1 Representations and Warranties. The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with, Holder as follows:

(a) The initial Warrant Price referenced on the first page of this Warrant is not greater than the price per share at which shares of the Class were last sold and issued prior to the Issue Date hereof in an arms-length transaction in which at least $500,000 of such shares were sold.

(b) All Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, and all securities, if any, issuable upon conversion of the Shares, shall, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and free of any liens and encumbrances except for restrictions on transfer provided for herein or under applicable federal and state securities laws. The Company covenants that it shall at all times cause to be reserved and kept available out of its authorized and unissued capital stock such number of shares of the Class, common stock and other securities as will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of this Warrant and the conversion of the Shares into common stock or such other securities.

(c) The Company’s capitalization table attached hereto as Schedule 1 is true and complete, in all material respects, as of the Issue Date.

 

3


3.2 Notice of Certain Events. If the Company proposes at any time to:

(a) declare any dividend or distribution upon the outstanding shares of the Class or common stock, whether in cash, property, stock, or other securities and whether or not a regular cash dividend;

(b) offer for subscription or sale pro rata to holders of the outstanding shares of the Class any additional shares of any class or series of the Company’s stock (other than pursuant to contractual pre-emptive rights);

(c) effect any reclassification, exchange, combination, substitution, reorganization or recapitalization of the outstanding shares of the Class; or

(d) effect an Acquisition (as defined below) or to liquidate, dissolve or wind up;

then, in connection with each such event, the Company shall give Holder:

(1) at least seven (7) Business Days prior written notice of the date on which a record will be taken for such dividend, distribution, or subscription rights (and specifying the date on which Holders of outstanding shares of the Class will be entitled thereto) or for determining rights to vote, if any, in respect of the matters referred to in (a) and (b) above; and

(2) in the case of the matters referred to in (c) and (d) above at least seven (7) Business Days prior written notice of the date when the same will take place (and specifying the date on which holders of outstanding shares of the Class will be entitled to exchange their shares for the securities or other property deliverable upon the occurrence of such event).

This Warrant will be deemed to be exercised pursuant to Section 1.2 hereof if the Company does not give written notice to Holder of a cash/public Acquisition as required by the terms hereof. Company will also provide information requested by Holder that is reasonably necessary to enable Holder to comply with Holder’s accounting or reporting requirements.

3.3 Registration Rights. The common stock into which the Shares are convertible, shall at the option of Holder, be “Registrable Securities”, and Holder shall have the rights and obligations of a “Holder” under the Company’s Seventh Amended and Restated Stockholders’ Agreement dated as of April 26, 2013 among the Company and the holders named therein (the “Rights Agreement”). Simultaneously with the execution of this Warrant, the Holder shall execute and deliver to the Company a joinder to the Rights Agreement, thereby agreeing to be bound by all obligations and receive all rights to the Rights Agreement, to be held in escrow until the exercise of this Warrant. All shares of common stock issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall include any legends required under the Rights Agreement.

3.4 Information Rights. So long as the Holder holds this Warrant and/or any of the Shares, the Company shall deliver to the Holder (a) within one hundred eighty (180) days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, the annual audited financial statements of the Company and (b) within thirty (30) days after the end of each of the first three quarters of each fiscal year, the Company’s quarterly, unaudited financial statements, provided the Company need not provide such information for any period in which the Company has filed a periodic report on Form 10-K or Form 10-Q (as applicable) with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(b) Automatic Cashless Exercise upon Expiration. In the event that, upon the Expiration Date, the fair market value of one Share (or other security issuable upon the exercise hereof) as determined in accordance with Section 1.3 above is greater than the Warrant Price in effect on such date, then this Warrant shall automatically be deemed on and as of such date to be exercised pursuant to Section 1.2 above as to all Shares (or such other securities) for which it shall not previously have been exercised, and the Company shall, within a reasonable time, deliver a certificate representing the Shares (or such other securities) issued upon such exercise to Holder.

Exhibit 4.5

THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES ISSUABLE HEREUNDER HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION THEREOF UNDER SUCH ACT OR PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION AND ITS COUNSEL THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

THIS WARRANT AND THE SHARES ISSUABLE HEREUNDER ARE SUBJECT TO A LOCKUP PERIOD OF UP TO 180 DAYS FOLLOWING THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF CERTAIN REGISTRATION STATEMENTS OF THE COMPANY FILED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AS SET FORTH IN AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ISSUER AND THE ORIGINAL HOLDER OF THIS WARRANT, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE ISSUER. SUCH LOCKUP PERIOD IS BINDING ON TRANSFEREES OF THIS WARRANT.

WARRANT TO PURCHASE STOCK

 

Corporation:    FIVE 9, INC., a Delaware corporation
Number of Shares:                     (Subject to Section 1.8)
Class of Stock:    Series B Preferred (Subject to Section 1.8)
Initial Exercise Price:    $0.38 per share
Issue Date:    August 8, 2007
Expiration Date:    August 8, 2017 (Subject to Section 4.1)

THIS WARRANT CERTIFIES THAT, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged,                          or its assignee (“Holder”) is entitled to purchase the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the class of securities (the “Shares”) of the corporation (the “Company”) at the initial exercise price per Share (the “Warrant Price”) all as set forth above and as adjusted pursuant to Article 2 of this warrant, subject to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this warrant.

ARTICLE 1. EXERCISE.

1.1 Method of Exercise. Holder may exercise this warrant by delivering this warrant and a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached as Appendix 1 to the principal office of the Company. Holder shall also deliver to the Company a check for the aggregate Warrant Price for the Shares being purchase.

1.2 Intentionally Omitted.

1.3 Intentionally Omitted.

1.4 Fair Market Value. If the Shares are traded regularly in a public market, the fair market value of the Shares shall be the closing price of the Shares (or the closing price of the Company’s stock into which the Shares are convertible) reported for the business day immediately before Holder delivers its Notice of Exercise to the Company. If the Shares are not regularly traded in a public market, the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine fair market value in its reasonable good faith judgment.

1.5 Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant. Promptly after Holder exercises this warrant, the Company shall deliver to Holder certificates for the Shares acquired and, if this warrant has not been fully exercised and has not expired, a new warrant representing the Shares not so acquired.

1.6 Replacement of Warrants. On receipt of evidence reasonable satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company, or in the case of mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this warrant, the Company at its expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this warrant, a new warrant of like tenor.

1.7 Repurchase on Sale, Merger, or Consolidation of the Company.

1.7.1 “Acquisition.” For the purpose of this warrant, “Acquisition” means (a) any sale, license, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets (including intellectual property) of the Company, or (b)


any reorganization, consolidation, merger or sale of the voting securities of the Company or any other transaction where the holders of the Company’s securities before the transaction beneficially own less than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving entity after the transaction; provided that, for the purposes of (a) and (b), above, any transaction involving only the license of the Company’s trade name or a transaction in which the Company sells or issues its equity securities to investors (or their affiliates) in the Company as of the Issue Date, shall not be deemed an Acquisition.

1.7.2 Assumption of Warrant. If upon the closing of any Acquisition the successor entity assumes the obligations of this warrant, then this warrant shall be exercisable for the same securities, cash, and property as would be payable for the Shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion of this warrant as if such Shares were outstanding on the record date for the Acquisition and subsequent closing. The Warrant Price shall be adjusted accordingly. The Company shall use reasonable efforts to cause the surviving corporation to assume the obligations of this warrant.

1.7.3. Nonassumption. If upon the closing of any Acquisition the successor entity does not assume the obligations of this warrant and Holder has not otherwise exercised this warrant, in full, then Holder shall participate in the Acquisition on the same terms as other holders of the same class of securities of the Company.

1.8 Adjustment in Underlying Preferred Stock Price and Exercise Price. If on or before August 8, 2008, the Company sells and issues to any investors preferred stock with aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of at least $1,400,000, this Warrant shall, concurrent with the issuance of such shares of preferred stock, automatically be adjusted to instead be exercisable for shares of the same series and class and bearing the same rights, preferences, and privileges of such shares of stock, with the Warrant Price hereunder adjusted to equal the per share purchase price of such stock, and the number of such shares subject to this Warrant adjusted to equal (i) Seventeen Thousand Dollars ($17,000), divided by (ii) such modified per share Warrant Price. Any adjustments made to the Warrant pursuant to this Section 1.8 shall be in addition to any adjustments made pursuant to Article 2, below.

ARTICLE 2. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES.

2.1 Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc. If the Company declares or pays a dividend on its common stock payable in common stock, or other securities, subdivides the outstanding common stock into a greater amount of common stock, then upon exercise of this warrant, for each Share acquired, Holder shall receive, without cost to Holder, the total number and kind of securities to which Holder would have been entitled had Holder owned the Shares of record as of the date the dividend or subdivision occurred.

2.2 Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution; Automatic Exchange of Warrant. (a) Upon any reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event that results in a change of the number and/or class of the securities issuable upon exercise of this warrant, Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise of this warrant, the number and kind of securities and property that Holder would have received for the Shares if this warrant had been exercised immediately before such reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event. Such an event shall include any automatic conversion of the outstanding or issuable securities of the Company of the same class or series as the Shares to common stock pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation upon the closing of a registered public offering of the Company’s common stock. The Company or its successor shall promptly issue to Holder a new warrant for such new securities or other property. The new warrant shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article 2 including, without limitation, adjustments to the Warrant Price and to the number of securities or property issuable reclassifications, exchanges substitutions, or other events.

(b) Immediately upon the automatic conversion of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock as provided under the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (any event triggering such automatic conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock is referred to as an “Automatic Exchange Event”), Holder shall, upon no less than ten (10) business days prior written notice from the Company, deliver this warrant to the Company for cancellation and exchange upon the effectiveness of the Automatic Exchange Event, and the Company immediately shall issue and deliver to the Holder a replacement warrant containing substantially the same terms as this warrant except that the replacement warrant shall be exercisable for that number of shares of the Company’s


common stock issuable upon conversion of all shares of Series A Preferred Stock that could be purchased by Holder upon full exercise of this Warrant on the effective date of the Automatic Exchange Event.

2.3 Adjustments for Combinations, Etc. If the outstanding Shares are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased. If the outstanding Shares are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a greater number of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionally decreased.

2.4 Adjustments for Diluting Issuances. The Warrant Price and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this warrant shall be subject to adjustment, from time to time, in the manner set forth on Exhibit A.

2.5 No Impairment. The Company shall not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through a reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue, or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed under this warrant by the Company, but shall at all times in good faith assist in carrying out all the provisions of this Article 2 and in taking all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to protect Holder’s rights under this Article against impairment.

2.6 Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment, and furnish Holder with a certificate of its Chief Financial Officer setting forth such adjustment and the facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company shall, upon written request, furnish Holder a certificate setting forth the Warrant Price in effect upon the date thereof and the series of adjustments leading to such Warrant Price.

2.7 Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issuable upon exercise of the Warrant and the Number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. If a fractional share interest arises upon any exercise of the Warrant, the Company shall eliminate such fractional share interest by paying Holder amount computed by multiplying the fractional interest by the fair market value of a full Share.

2.8 Shareholders’ Agreement. Holder shall execute and become a party to the Stockholders’ Agreement dated April 20, 2004 and all Shares (and any shares of common stock issued upon conversion thereof) shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in Sections 2.2 – 2.9, 2.11, 2.12, 7 and 8 thereof.

ARTICLE 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY

  – Z

where,

 

V =    the number of Shares that vest on each applicable Advancement Date;
W =    the aggregate amount of Loan (whether or not repaid or prepaid) that has been advanced by Fifth Street Finance Corp. or its assignees or participants under the Loan Agreement (including, for purposes of clarity, all Loan advances made by Fifth Street Finance Corp. or its assignees or participants under the Loan Agreement on or prior to such Advancement Date); provided, however, that in no case will W exceed $20,000,000;


X =    the maximum number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (after giving effect, for purposes of clarity, to any adjustments to the Shares pursuant to Section 2 of this Warrant);
Y =    $20,000,000; and
Z =    the aggregate number of Shares previously vested hereunder (after giving effect, for purposes of clarity, to any adjustments to the Shares pursuant to Section 2 of this Warrant and treating, solely for purposes of implementing appropriate adjustments in the calculation of the equation above, any Shares that have been issued upon exercise of this Warrant prior to or on such Advancement Date as unissued Shares remaining subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 2 of this Warrant).

and where,

Advancement Date” means each date that Loan funds are advanced under the Loan Agreement; and

Loan” has the meaning set forth in the Loan Agreement.

1. Exercise.

1.1 Method of Exercise. Subject to the vesting provisions of this Warrant, Holder may at any time and from time to time exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, by delivering to the Company the original of this Warrant together with a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached hereto as Appendix 1 and, unless Holder is exercising this Warrant pursuant to a cashless exercise set forth in Section 1.2, a check, wire transfer of same-day funds (to an account designated by the Company), or other form of payment acceptable to the Company for the aggregate Warrant Price for the Shares being purchased.

1.2 Cashless Exercise. On any exercise of this Warrant, in lieu of payment of the aggregate Warrant Price in the manner as specified in Section 1.1 above, but otherwise in accordance with the requirements of Section 1.1, Holder may elect to receive Shares equal to the value of this Warrant, or portion hereof as to which this Warrant is being exercised. Thereupon, the Company shall issue to Holder such number of fully paid and non-assessable Shares as are computed using the following formula:

X = Y(A-B)/A

 

-2-


where:

 

X =    the number of Shares to be issued to Holder;
Y =    the number of Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised (inclusive of the Shares surrendered to the Company in payment of the aggregate Warrant Price);
A =    the fair market value (as determined pursuant to Section 1.3 below) of one Share; and
B =    the Warrant Price.

1.3 Fair Market Value.

(a) If (i) this Warrant is exercised immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Company’s registration statement for the initial public offering of the Company’s common stock and (ii) the Class is common stock, then the fair market value of a Share shall be the initial public offering price per share of common stock specified in the final prospectus with respect to the public offering.

(b) If (i) this Warrant is exercised immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Company’s registration statement for the initial public offering of the Company’s common stock and (ii) the Class is a series of the Company’s convertible preferred stock, then the fair market value of a Share shall be the initial public offering price per share of common stock specified in the final prospectus with respect to the public offering multiplied by the number of shares of the Company’s common stock into which a Share is then convertible.

(c) If (i) the Company’s common stock is then traded or quoted on a nationally recognized securities exchange, inter-dealer quotation system or over-the counter market (a “Trading Market”), (ii) Sections 1.3(a) and (b) of this Warrant do not apply for determining the fair market value of a Share, and (iii) the Class is common stock, then the fair market value of a Share shall be the closing price or last sale price of a share of common stock reported for the Business Day immediately before the date on which Holder delivers this Warrant together with its Notice of Exercise to the Company (or, if applicable, the Business Day immediately before the date on which this Warrant is automatically exercised pursuant to Section 3.2 or Section 5.1(b) of this Warrant).

(d) If (i) the Company’s common stock is then traded on a Trading Market, (ii) Sections 1.3(a) and (b) of this Warrant do not apply for determining the fair market value of a Share, and (iii) the Class is a series of the Company’s convertible preferred stock, then the fair market value of a Share shall be the closing price or last sale price of a share of the Company’s common stock reported for the Business Day immediately before the date on which Holder delivers this Warrant together with its Notice of Exercise to the Company (or, if applicable, the Business Day immediately before the date on which this Warrant is automatically exercised pursuant to Section 3.2 or Section 5.1(b) of this Warrant) multiplied by the number of shares of the Company’s common stock into which a Share is then convertible.

(e) If Sections 1.3(a), (b), (c) and (d) of this Warrant do not apply for determining the fair market value of a Share, then the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine the fair market value of a Share in its reasonable good faith judgment.

1.4 Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant. Within a reasonable time (not to exceed ten (10) Business Days) after Holder exercises this Warrant in the manner set forth in Section 1.1 or 1.2 above (including, without limitation, an automatic exercise pursuant to Section 3.2 or Section 5.1(b) of this Warrant), the Company shall, if requested by Holder, deliver to Holder a certificate representing the Shares issued to Holder upon such exercise and, if this Warrant has not been fully exercised and has not expired, a new warrant of like tenor representing the Shares not so acquired.

1.5 Replacement of Warrant. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement (without any obligations to post a bond or other security) reasonably satisfactory in form, substance and amount to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender of this Warrant to the Company for cancellation, the Company shall, within a reasonable time, execute and deliver to Holder, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor and amount.

2. Adjustments to the Shares and Warrant Price. In order to prevent dilution of the purchase rights granted under this Warrant, the Warrant Price and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 2.

2.1 Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc. If the Company declares or pays a dividend or distribution on the outstanding shares of the Class payable in capital stock or other securities or property (other than cash), then upon exercise of this Warrant, for each Share acquired, Holder shall receive, without additional cost to Holder, the total number and kind of securities and property which Holder would have received had Holder owned the Shares of record as of the date the dividend or distribution occurred. If the Company subdivides the outstanding shares of the Class by reclassification or otherwise into a greater number of shares, the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be proportionately increased and the Warrant Price shall be proportionately decreased. If the outstanding shares of the Class are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased and the number of Shares shall be proportionately decreased.

2.2 Reclassification, Exchange, Combinations or Substitution. Upon any reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event that results in a change of the number and/or class of the securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the number and kind of securities and property that Holder would have received for the Shares if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before such reclassification, exchange, substitution, or other event. Such an event shall include any automatic conversion of the outstanding or issuable securities of the Company of the same class or series as the Shares to common stock pursuant to the terms of the Company’s certificate of incorporation upon the closing of a registered public offering of the Company’s common stock. Upon the closing of an Acquisition (as defined in Section 5.1 below), and subject to

 

-4-


Section 5.1 hereof, the successor entity shall assume the obligations of this Warrant, and this Warrant thereafter shall be exercisable for the same securities, cash, and property as would be payable for the Shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant as if such Shares were outstanding on the record date for the Acquisition and subsequent closing. The Company or its successor shall promptly issue to Holder a new Warrant for such new securities or other property. The new Warrant shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 2 including, without limitation, adjustments to the Warrant Price and to the number of securities or property issuable upon exercise of the new Warrant. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, substitutions, or other events.

2.3 Adjustment upon Issuance of Common Stock. If, at any time after the Issue Date but prior to the date of effectiveness of the Company’s registration statement for the initial public offering of the Company’s common stock, the Company shall issue (or, pursuant to Section 2.3(d) below), shall be deemed to have issued) any common stock other than “Excluded Stock” (as defined in the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (“Certificate of Incorporation”)) for a consideration per share less than the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to the issuance of such common stock (excluding stock dividends, subdivisions, split-ups, combinations, dividends or recapitalizations that are covered by Sections 2.1 and 2.2 above), the Warrant Price in effect immediately after each such issuance shall forthwith, except as provided herein, be adjusted to a price equal to the quotient obtained by multiplying such Warrant Price by a fraction (I) the numerator of which shall be (x) the number of shares of common stock outstanding at the close of business on the day immediately preceding the date of such issuance or sale, plus (y) the number of shares of common stock which the aggregate consideration received (or by the express provisions hereof shall be deemed to have been received) by the Company for the total number of additional shares of common stock so issued or sold would purchase at such Warrant Price then in effect and (II) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of common stock outstanding at the close of business on the date of such issuance or sale (after giving effect to such issuance or sale) of the additional shares of common stock. Upon each such adjustment of the Warrant Price under this Section 2.3, the number of Shares shall be adjusted to the number of Shares determined by multiplying the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of Shares acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Warrant Price resulting from such adjustment. For the purposes of any adjustment of the Warrant Price pursuant to this Section 2.3, the following provisions shall be applicable:

(a) The number of shares of common stock outstanding shall include, in addition to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding, (I) the number of shares of common stock into which the then outstanding shares of each series of the Company’s convertible preferred stock could be converted if fully converted on the day immediately preceding the issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale of the additional shares of common stock; and (II) the number of shares of common stock which would be obtained through the exercise or conversion of all rights, options and convertible securities outstanding on the day immediately preceding the issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale of the additional shares of common stock.

 

-5-


(b) In the case of the issuance of common stock for cash, the consideration shall be deemed to be the amount of cash paid therefor after deducting any discounts or commission paid or incurred by the Company in connection with the issuance and sale thereof.

(c) In the case of the issuance of common stock for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair value thereof as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, in accordance with generally accepted accounting treatment; provided, however, that if, at the time of such determination, the Company’s common stock is traded on a Trading Market, such fair market value per share of common stock as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company shall not exceed (i) if the shares of common stock are then traded on a securities exchange, the average of the closing prices of the common stock on such exchange over the 20 trading day period ending three (3) business days prior to such determination or (ii) if the shares of common stock are then traded over-the-counter, the average of the closing bid prices over the 30-day period ending three (3) business days prior to such determination; provided, however, that if such prices are not available for the period required, such fair market value shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.

(d) In the case of the issuance of (i) options to purchase or rights to subscribe for common stock (directly or indirectly), (ii) securities by their terms convertible into or exchangeable for common stock (directly or indirectly), or (iii) options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities:

(1) the aggregate maximum number of shares of common stock deliverable upon exercise of such options to purchase or rights to subscribe for common stock shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such options or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration (determined in the manner provided in Sections 2.3(b) and 2.3(c) above), if any, received by the Company upon the issuance of such options or rights plus the minimum purchase price provided in such options or rights for the common stock covered thereby;

(2) the aggregate maximum number of shares of common stock deliverable upon conversion of or in exchange for any such convertible or exchangeable securities, or upon the exercise of options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities and subsequent conversion or exchange thereof, shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such securities were issued or such options or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration received by the Company for any such securities and related options or rights (excluding any cash received on account of accrued interest or accrued dividends), plus the additional minimum consideration, if any, to be received by the Company upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or the exercise of any related options or rights (the consideration in each case to be determined in the manner provided in Sections 2.3(b) and 2.3(c) above);

 

-6-


(3) on any change in the number of shares of common stock deliverable upon exercise of any such options or rights or conversion of or exchange for such convertible or exchangeable securities, or on any change in the minimum purchase price of such options, rights or securities, other than a change resulting from the anti-dilution provisions of options, rights or securities, the Warrant Price shall forthwith be readjusted to such Warrant Price as would have been obtained had the adjustment made upon (x) the issuance of such options, rights or securities not exercised, converted or exchange prior to such change or (y) the options or rights related to such securities not converted or exchanged prior to such change, as the case may be, been made upon the basis of such change; and

(4) on the expiration of any such options or rights, the termination of any such rights to convert or exchange or the expiration of any options or rights related to such convertible or exchangeable securities, the Warrant Price shall forthwith be readjusted to such Warrant Price as would have been obtained had the adjustment made upon the issuance of such options or rights, convertible or exchangeable securities or options or rights related to such convertible or exchangeable securities, as the case may be, been made upon the basis of the issuance of only the number of shares of common stock actually issued upon the exercise of such options or rights, upon the conversion or exchange of such convertible or exchangeable securities or upon the exercise of the options or rights related to such convertible or exchangeable securities, as the case may be.

2.4 Minimal Adjustments. No adjustment in the Warrant Price need be made if such adjustment would result in a change in the Warrant Price of less than $0.001. Any adjustment of less than $0.001 which is not made shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment which, on a cumulative basis, amounts to an adjustment of $0.001 or more in the Warrant Price.

2.5 No Fractional Share. No fractional Share shall be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and the number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. If a fractional Share interest arises upon any exercise of the Warrant, the Company shall eliminate such fractional Share interest by paying Holder in cash the amount computed by multiplying the fractional interest by (i) the fair market value (as determined in accordance with Section 1.3 above) of a full Share, less (ii) the then-effective Warrant Price.

2.6 Notice/Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price, Class and/or number of Shares, the Company, at the Company’s expense, shall notify Holder in writing within a reasonable time (not less than ten (10) Business Days after the effectiveness of such adjustment) setting forth the adjustments to the Warrant Price, Class and/or number of Shares and facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company shall, upon written request from Holder, furnish Holder with a certificate of its Chief Financial Officer, including computations of such adjustment and the Warrant Price, Class and number of Shares in effect upon the date of such adjustment.

The Company covenants that it shall at all times cause to be reserved and kept available out of its authorized and unissued capital stock such number of shares of the Class and other securities as will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of this Warrant and, if applicable, the conversion of the Shares into common stock or such other securities.

(2) in the case of the matters referred to in (c) and (d) above at least seven (7) Business Days prior written notice of the date when the same will take place (and specifying the date on which holders of outstanding shares of the Class will be entitled to exchange their shares for the securities or other property deliverable upon the occurrence of such event); provided that if a combination under (c) above takes place in connection with the Company’s initial public offering, it shall be sufficient to provide in the notice that such combination will take place immediately prior to the effectiveness or closing of the initial public offering, as the case may be, even if the precise date for such event is not known at such time.

The Company will also provide information requested by Holder that is reasonably necessary to enable Holder to comply with Holder’s accounting or reporting requirements.

3.3 Registration Rights. The Shares (or if the Shares are a Class other than common stock, the shares of common stock into which the Shares are convertible) shall be “Registrable Securities” (as such term is defined in the Stockholders’ Agreement) and Holder shall have the rights and obligations of a “Holder” under Section 2 of the Stockholders’ Agreement.

3.4 Joinder to Stockholders’ Agreement.

(a) Simultaneously with the execution of this Warrant, the Holder shall execute and deliver to the Company a joinder to the Stockholders’ Agreement, thereby agreeing (subject to Section 3.5(b) below) to be bound by all obligations and receive all rights to the Stockholders’ Agreement, to be held in escrow until the exercise of this Warrant. All shares of common stock issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall include any legends required under the Stockholders’ Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 3.4(a) above, in addition to the limitations and protections currently set forth in the last sentence of Section 7.1 of the Stockholders’ Agreement, in no event shall Holder be required to enter into a release of claims in connection with an “Approved Sale” in Holder’s capacity as a lender or lender’s agent to the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company.

3.6 Listing of Shares. If shares or other securities of the Class are listed on any Trading Market at, or at any time after, the time this Warrant is exercised, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Shares (or any securities issued upon conversion of the Shares, if applicable), upon such exercise, to be listed on such Trading Market.

3.7 Expenses and Taxes; Liabilities. The Company shall pay all expenses in connection with, and all taxes and other governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to, the issuance or delivery of Shares upon exercise of this Warrant; provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed with respect to any applicable withholding or the issuance or delivery of Shares to any person other than the Holder. Nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on Holder to purchase any securities of the Company (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

4. Representations and Warranties of Holder.

Holder represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

4.1 Purchase for Own Account. This Warrant and the securities to be acquired upon exercise of this Warrant by Holder are being acquired for investment for Holder’s account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the public resale or distribution within the meaning of the Act. Holder also represents that it has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring this Warrant or the Shares.

4.2 Disclosure of Information. Holder is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has received or has had full access to all the information it considers necessary or appropriate to make an informed investment decision with respect to the acquisition of this Warrant and its underlying securities. Holder further has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of this Warrant and its underlying securities and to obtain additional information (to the extent the Company possessed such information or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense) necessary to verify any information furnished to Holder or to which Holder has access.

4.3 Investment Experience. Holder understands that the purchase of this Warrant and its underlying securities involves substantial risk. Holder has experience as an investor in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that Holder can bear the economic risk of such Holder’s investment in this Warrant and its underlying securities and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that Holder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in this Warrant and its underlying securities and/or has a preexisting personal or business relationship with the Company and certain of its officers, directors or controlling persons of a nature and duration that enables Holder to be aware of the character, business acumen and financial circumstances of such persons.

4.4 Accredited Investor Status. Holder is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Act.

 

-10-


4.5 The Act. Holder understands that this Warrant and the Shares issuable upon exercise hereof have not been registered under the Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Holder’s investment intent as expressed herein. Holder understands that this Warrant and the Shares issued upon any exercise hereof must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Act and qualified under applicable state securities laws, or unless exemption from such registration and qualification are otherwise available. Holder is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act.

4.6 No Voting Rights. Holder, as a Holder of this Warrant, will not have any voting rights until the exercise of this Warrant.

5. Miscellaneous.

5.1 Term and Automatic Conversion.

(a) Term. Subject to the vesting provisions of this Warrant and the provisions of this Section 5, this Warrant is exercisable in whole or in part at any time and from time to time on or before 6:00 PM, Pacific Time, on the Expiration Date and shall be void thereafter.

(b) Automatic Cashless Exercise upon Expiration. In the event that, upon the Expiration Date, the fair market value of one Share (or other security issuable upon the exercise hereof) as determined in accordance with Section 1.3 above is greater than the Warrant Price in effect on such date, then this Warrant shall automatically be deemed on and as of such date to be exercised pursuant to Section 1.2 above as to all Shares (or such other securities) that have vested in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant for which it shall not previously have been exercised, and the Company shall, if requested by Holder, within a reasonable time (not to exceed ten (10) Business Days), deliver a certificate representing the Shares (or such other securities) issued upon such exercise to Holder.

(c) Acquisitions. For the purpose of this Warrant, “Acquisition” means any sale, license, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any reorganization, consolidation, or merger of the Company where the holders of the Company’s securities before the transaction beneficially own less than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving entity after the transaction. In the event of an Acquisition in which the consideration is solely cash and/or marketable securities, then this Warrant, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.2 hereof and subject to the vesting provisions of this Warrant, shall be deemed exercised in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.2 immediately prior to the closing of the Acquisition; otherwise, this Warrant shall terminate.

 

-11-


5.2 Legends. The Shares (and the securities issuable, directly or indirectly, upon conversion of the Shares, if any) shall be imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS AND UNTIL REGISTERED UNDER SAID ACT AND LAWS OR IN THE OPINION OF LEGAL COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER, SUCH OFFER, SALE, PLEDGE OR OTHER TRANSFER IS EXEMPT FROM SUCH REGISTRATION.

5.3 Compliance with Securities Laws on Transfer. This Warrant and the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (and the securities issuable, directly or indirectly, upon conversion of the Shares, if applicable) may not be transferred or assigned in whole or in part except in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws by the transferor and the transferee. The Company shall not require Holder to provide an opinion of counsel if the transfer is to any affiliate of Holder, provided that any such transferee is an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Act. Additionally, the Company shall also not require an opinion of counsel if there is no material question as to the availability of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act.

5.4 Transfer Procedure. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.3 of this Warrant, the initial Holder and each subsequent Holder may transfer all or part of this Warrant or the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (or the securities issuable directly or indirectly, upon conversion of the Shares, if applicable) to any transferee, provided, however, in connection with any such transfer, the initial Holder or any subsequent Holder, as applicable, will give the Company notice of the portion of the Warrant being transferred with the name, address and taxpayer identification number of the transferee and Holder will surrender this Warrant to the Company for reissuance to the transferee(s) (and Holder if less than the entire Warrant is transferred); and provided further, that any subsequent Holder shall agree in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Warrant.

Exhibit 10.2

EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

THIS EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated January 1, 2012 (“Effective Date”), is by and among Five9, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and Michael Burkland (“Burkland”), an individual resident of the State of California.

RECITALS:

WHEREAS, the Company previously engaged Burkland to provide consulting services to it through MJB Associates, Inc. (“MJB Associates”);

WHEREAS, the Company desires to directly employ Burkland as its Chief Executive Officer and President during the Term (as defined below), and upon and subject to the terms provided herein;

WHEREAS, Burkland desires to provide such services to the Company;

WHEREAS, Burkland and the Company intend for this Agreement to govern the employment relationship between the parties from and after the Effective Date and supersedes the Consulting Agreement and all previous agreements, term sheets and negotiations with respect to the consulting or employment relationship between the parties; and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Term and Payment.

(a) Term of Employment. The initial term of this Agreement shall be for a period of (i) one (1) year after the Effective Date of this Agreement (“Initial Term”); or (ii) the date upon which Burkland’s employment is terminated in accordance with Section 5. This Agreement shall be automatically renewed for additional one (1) year terms (each an “Extension Term”) upon the expiration of the Initial Term and each Extension Term, unless either party gives the other party a written notice of termination not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date of expiration of the Initial Term or any Extension Term (“Termination Notice”) (together, the Initial Term and all Extension Terms are referred to herein as the “Term”). Where the Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 5 or upon Termination Notice, the Company shall pay to Burkland all compensation to which Burkland is entitled up through the effective date of termination according to its normal payroll practices, and any compensation due to Burkland pursuant to Section 6.

(b) Base Salary. In consideration of the services to be rendered under this Agreement by Burkland, the Company shall pay Burkland a gross salary at the rate of Three Hundred and Forty One Thousand, Two Hundred and Fifty Dollars ($341,250.00) per year, less applicable withholdings (“Base Salary”). The Base Salary shall be paid in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices. Burkland’s Base Salary will be reviewed from time to time in accordance with the established procedures of the Company for adjusting salaries for similarly situated employees and may be increased (but not reduced) in the sole discretion of the Company.


(c) Bonus. For each calendar year during the Term (commencing with 2012) Burkland shall be eligible to earn a bonus (the “Bonus”). The target amount of the aggregate Bonus payable for each year shall be determined by the Board each year (the “Target Bonus”), with the actual Bonus amount for each year to be determined in accordance with the following provisions, and the Target Bonus for 2012 shall be One Hundred and Eighty Three Thousand, Seven Hundred and Fifty Dollars ($183,750.00).

The Board, in consultation with Burkland, will establish, and document the Quarterly Performance Goals for the first, second, third and fourth quarters of 2012 and the Annual Goals for 2012 by no later than sixty (60) days after the Effective Date. Subsequent Performance Goals will be established in advance of the applicable performance period by the Board, in consultation with Burkland. The Board shall determine in good faith the amount of any Quarterly Bonus or Annual Bonus payable to Burkland pursuant to this Section 1(c) within thirty (30) days after the end of the quarter or year, as applicable, and the Company shall pay such amount as the Board shall determine not later than the last day of the second month following such quarter or year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no portion of any Bonus shall be payable hereunder with respect to a particular quarter or year unless the Term and the Services of Burkland hereunder continue in effect through the last day of such quarter or year, as applicable.

(d) Stock Option Grant. The Company has previously granted Burkland a nonqualified stock option to purchase a number of shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the Consulting Agreement between the parties and one or more additional grants in connection with Burkland’s service to the Company (the “Options”). During the Term, the Options shall continue to vest according to the terms and conditions of such Options and the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan. In the event that the Term is terminated under the circumstances described in Sections 6(a), 6(b), 6(d) or 6(e) below, and notwithstanding any contrary provision set forth in the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan or any agreements evidencing such Options, Burkland shall have two (2) years after the date of the termination of Burkland’s employment in which to exercise the Options (subject to earlier termination on the expiration date of the Options, or in connection with a change in control of the Company in which the successor corporation refuses to assume or replace the stock option as described in the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan).

SECTION 2. Office and Duties.

(a) Chief Executive Officer and President. Burkland shall have the usual duties of the role of Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and President of the Company, including, without limitation, managing the day-to-day business of the Company, developing the Company’s strategic direction, business plans, and financing and capitalization opportunities, supervising the Company’s executives, communicating with the Board and the Company’s stockholders, and evaluating, negotiating, and executing significant business transactions on behalf of the Company, as well as such other duties as may be assigned to Burkland from time to time by the Board. Burkland shall report to the Board.

 

-2-


(b) Exclusivity. Burkland agrees, during the Term to (i) devote as much time and effort as reasonably necessary for the performance of his responsibilities under this Agreement, (ii) refrain from engaging in services of any kind (whether as an employee, independent contractor, owner, director, partner, advisor or in any other capacity) on behalf of a business that, as determined by the Board in its reasonable discretion, directly competes with the Company (or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates), and (iii) refrain from providing services of any kind or engage in any other business activity that would materially interfere with the performance of the duties of Burkland under this Agreement. Burkland’s service on the boards of directors (or similar body) of other business entities, or the provision of other services thereto, is subject to the prior written approval of the Board, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company shall have the right to require Burkland to resign from any board or similar body on which he may then serve if the Board reasonably determines that Burkland’s service on such board or body interferes with the effective discharge of Burkland’s duties and responsibilities to the Company or that any business related to such service is then in competition with any business of the Company or any of its affiliates, successors or assigns.

(c) Board Membership. Burkland shall serve as a member of the Board during the Term of this Agreement, and may be asked to serve as a director of one or more subsidiaries or affiliates of the Company. Upon the termination of Burkland’s employment or the Term for any reason, Burkland shall be deemed to have resigned from the Board and from all other positions as an officer or director of any of the Company’s subsidiaries or affiliates.

SECTION 3. Expenses. Burkland shall be entitled to reimbursement for reasonable travel expenses and other expenses incurred by Burkland in connection with Burkland’s performance of his duties hereunder upon receipt of expense reports therefor in accordance with such reasonable procedures as the Company has heretofore or may hereafter establish.

SECTION 4. Benefits. Burkland will be entitled to participate in pension, profit sharing and other retirement plans, incentive compensation plans, vacation policies, group health, hospitalization and disability or other insurance plans, and other employee welfare benefit plans generally made available to other similarly-situated employees of the Company, in accordance with the benefit plans established by the Company, and as may be amended from time to time in the Company’s sole discretion.

SECTION 5. At-Will Employment. The employment of Burkland shall be “at-will” at all times. The Company or Burkland may terminate Burkland’s employment with the Company at any time, without any advance notice, for any reason or no reason at all, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or arising from any statements, policies or practices of the Company relating to the employment, discipline or termination of its employees. Following the termination of Burkland’s employment, the Company shall pay to Burkland all compensation to which Burkland is entitled up through the date of termination, including Base Salary, Bonus and unreimbursed expenses. Thereafter, all obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall cease, other than those set forth in Section 6 and any other written agreements between Burkland and the Company.

SECTION 6. Company Termination Obligations.

(a) Death. Burkland’s employment and the Term shall automatically terminate upon the death of Burkland and upon such event, Burkland’s heirs shall be entitled to receive the amounts specified in Section 5 above. All other obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall cease, other than those set forth in Section 1(d) and any other written agreements between Burkland and the Company.

(b) Disability. Where the Company terminates Burkland’s employment, the Term, including by a Termination Notice, because Burkland is unable to perform the essential duties required of Burkland, even taking into account reasonable accommodations that do not impose an undue burden on the Company, due to Burkland’s illness, incapacity, or physical or mental disability for one or more periods totaling one hundred and twenty (120) days in the aggregate during any consecutive twelve (12) month period (“Disability”), the Company shall be required to pay Burkland the amounts specified in Section 5 above. All other obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall cease, other than those set forth in Section 1(d) any and other written agreements between Burkland and the Company.

(c) Termination by the Company for Cause. Where the Company terminates Burkland’s employment or the Term, including by a Termination Notice, for Cause (as hereinafter defined), all obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall cease, other than those set forth in Sections 1(d) and 5 above and any other written agreements between Burkland and the Company. The Company may terminate Burkland’s employment for Cause (as hereinafter defined), provided that it delivers a written notice to Burkland pursuant to a determination by the Board that Cause for such termination exists, which notice shall specifically set forth the nature of the Cause which is the reason for such termination. As used in this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean (i) fraud, embezzlement, willful misconduct; or a material violation of law engaged in by Burkland that is materially detrimental to the Company or any of its affiliates; (ii) Burkland’s gross negligence with respect to the Company or any of its affiliates that causes material harm to the Company or any affiliate; (iii) conviction or plea of guilty or nolo contendere by Burkland for a felony or a crime of moral turpitude that causes material harm to the Company’s reputation; or (iv) a material breach by Burkland of any provision of this Agreement, any of the provisions of the Agreement Regarding Confidential Information, Intellectual Property, and Non-Solicitation between the parties (“Confidential Information Agreement”), or any provision of the Company’s Code of Conduct that is applicable to the Company’s employees; provided, if a cure is reasonably possible in the circumstances, that at least 15 days advance written notice of such breach has been provided to Burkland (which notice shall specifically set forth the nature of such breach), and Burkland fails to cure such breach within such 15-day period.

(d) Termination By the Company Without Cause or By Burkland For Good Reason. Where the Company terminates Burkland’s employment or the Term, including by a Termination Notice, without Cause (other than by reason of Burkland’s death or Disability), or Burkland terminates his employment or the Term, including by a Termination Notice, for Good Reason (as defined below), then in addition to the amounts specified in Section 5 and the extended option exercise period provided under Section 1(d), the Company shall pay to Burkland an amount equal to one (1) times the Base Salary as in effect on the date of such termination (the

 

-4-


Termination Payment”). The Termination Payment shall be paid to Burkland in equal monthly installments on the last day of each of the twelve (12) calendar months following the calendar month in which Burkland’s Separation from Service (as defined below) occurs; provided, however, that no such installment payment shall be paid to Burkland prior to the date that is sixty (60) days immediately following the date of Burkland’s Separation from Service and any installment payment that otherwise would have been paid during such sixty (60) day period shall instead be paid with the first monthly installment payment that Burkland receives pursuant to the terms of this Section 6(d) following the end of such sixty (60) day period. The Termination Payment, if any, is contingent upon, and is, among other things, partial consideration for, Burkland (i) complying with the provisions of Sections 7 and 8 hereto, (ii) signing, delivering and not rescinding or revoking a general release of any and all known and unknown claims against the Company and its affiliates (including with respect to each of their respective directors, officers, employees, shareholders, agents and representatives), in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company and Burkland, with such release becoming effective within sixty (60) days following the date of Burkland’s Separation from Service, and (iii) remaining available for a period of sixty (60) days after such termination to provide consulting services as reasonably requested by the Board. The payment of the Termination Payment and any payments pursuant to Section 5 shall be in lieu of any other payments, benefits, incentive compensation or other consideration to Burkland upon termination of Burkland’s employment or the Term, including by a Termination Notice. All other obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall cease, other than those set forth in any other written agreements between Burkland and the Company.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean a material default by the Company in the performance of its obligations hereunder, provided such default shall not have been corrected by the Company within 30 days of receipt by the Company of written notice from Burkland of the occurrence of such default, which notice shall specifically set forth the nature of such default. Material default under this Agreement shall include, without limitation, (i) the assignment to Burkland of any duties inconsistent (except in the nature of a promotion) with Burkland’s position as CEO and President of the Company or a material adverse alteration in the nature or status of Burkland’s responsibilities or the conditions of Burkland’s engagement, (ii) the Company’s failure to pay any of the compensation that has become due and payable to Burkland hereunder, and (iii) a relocation by the Company of Burkland’s principal office more than thirty-five (35) miles from San Ramon, California that occurs without Burkland’s prior written consent.

For purposes of this Agreement, a “Separation from Service” occurs when Burkland dies, retires, or otherwise has a termination of services with the Company that constitutes a “separation from service” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-l(h)(1), without regard to the optional alternative definitions available thereunder.

(e) Change in Control. If a Change in Control of the Company (as defined below) occurs and more than fifty percent (50%) of any option granted to Burkland by the Company prior to such date is then outstanding and unvested, the vesting of that option shall accelerate such that (after giving effect to such acceleration and taking into account any portion of that option that had theretofore become vested and exercisable), that option shall have become vested and exercisable as of the Change in Control date with respect to fifty percent (50%) of the

 

-5-


total number of shares subject to that option. In addition, if the Company or its successor terminates Burkland’s employment or the Term, including by a Termination Notice, other than for Cause (and other than by reason of Burkland’s death or Disability) or Burkland resigns due to Good Reason at any time within a period of twelve (12) months following a Change in Control of the Company, then (i) any option granted to Burkland by the Company , to the extent outstanding and unvested (after giving effect to the accelerated vesting contemplated by the first sentence of this Section 6(e)), shall immediately become vested and exercisable with respect to fifty percent (50%) of the shares covered by the then-outstanding and unvested portion of that option, and (ii) the Company shall pay Burkland the Termination Payment in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Section 6(d). Any portion of any option granted to Burkland by the Company that is not vested after giving effect to the foregoing clauses shall terminate as of the date of such termination of Burkland’s employment, the Term, including by a Termination Notice.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Change in Control” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following on or after the Effective Date:

(i) an acquisition of the Company by another entity by means of any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, any reorganization, merger or consolidation, or sale of more than 50% of the outstanding voting stock of the Company),

(ii) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (collectively, a “Merger”), so long as, in either case, the Company’s stockholders of record immediately prior to such Merger will, immediately after such Merger, hold less than 50% of the voting power of the surviving or acquiring entity.

(f) Section 409A. If Burkland is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(i) as of the date of his Separation from Service, he shall not be entitled to any payment of the Termination Payment until the earlier of (i) the date which is six (6) months after his Separation from Service for any reason other than death, or (ii) the date of his death. The provisions of this Section 6(f) shall only apply if, and to the extent, required to avoid the imputation of any tax, penalty or interest pursuant to Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. Any amounts otherwise payable to Burkland upon or in the six (6) month period following his Separation from Service that are not so paid by reason of this Section 6(f) shall be paid (without interest) as soon as practicable (and in all events within thirty (30) days) after the date that is six (6) months after Burkland’s Separation from Service (or, if earlier, as soon as practicable, and in all events within thirty (30) days, after the date of his death).

SECTION 7. Burkland Termination Obligations.

(a) Return of Property. Burkland agrees that all property (including without limitation all equipment, tangible proprietary information, documents, records, notes, contracts and computer-generated materials) furnished to or created or prepared by Burkland incident to Burkland’s employment belongs to the Company and shall be promptly returned to the Company upon termination of Burkland’s employment or the Term for any reason.

(b) Litigation/Audit Cooperation. Following the termination of Burkland’s employment or the Term for any reason, Burkland shall reasonably cooperate with the Company and/or any of its affiliates in connection with (a) any internal or governmental investigation or administrative, regulatory, arbitral or judicial proceeding involving the Company or any of its affiliates with respect to matters relating to the services provided by Burkland as a consultant, employee, officer, or director of the Company or its affiliates (collectively, “Litigation”) or (b) for a two year period following the Termination Date, any audit of the financial statements of the Company or any of its affiliates (“Audit”). Burkland acknowledges that such cooperation may include, but shall not be limited to, Burkland making himself available to the Company or any of its affiliates (or their respective attorneys or auditors) upon reasonable notice for: (i) interviews, factual investigations, and providing declarations or affidavits that provide truthful information in connection with any Litigation or Audit; (ii) appearing at the request of the Company or any of its affiliates to give testimony without requiring service of a subpoena or other legal process; (iii) volunteering to the Company or any member of the Company Group pertinent information related to any Litigation or Audit; (iv) providing information and legal representations to the auditors of the Company or any of its affiliates, in a form and within a timeframe requested by the Board, with respect to the Company’s or any of its affiliates’ opening balance sheet valuation of intangibles and financial statements for the period in which MJB Associates or Burkland was engaged as a consultant, employee, officer or director to the Company or any of its affiliates; and (v) turning over to the Company or any of its affiliates any documents relevant to any Litigation or Audit that are or may come into the possession of MJB Associates or Burkland. The Company shall reimburse Burkland for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with providing the services under this Section 7(b), including lodging and meals, upon the submission of receipts by Burkland. The Company shall also compensate Burkland for each hour that he provides cooperation in connection with this Section 7(b) at an hourly rate equal to the Base Salary divided 12 divided by 175. Burkland shall submit invoices for any month in which he performs services pursuant to this Section 7(b) that details the amount of time and a description of the services rendered for each separate day that Burkland performed such services. The Company shall reimburse Burkland for such services rendered within fifteen (15) days of receiving such invoice.

(c) Continuing Obligations. Burkland understands and agrees that Burkland’s obligations under Sections 7 and 8 herein (including Exhibit A) shall survive the termination of Burkland’s employment for any reason and the termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 8. Confidential Information Agreement. Burkland agrees to sign and be bound by the terms of the Confidential Information Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit A.

SECTION 9. Representations and Warranties.

(b) All of Burkland’s representations and warranties shall be true and correct upon execution hereof and shall survive for so long as Company has any rights under or in connection with this Agreement.

(c) The Company shall not seek any information from Burkland, the disclosure of which would violate any confidentiality agreements between Burkland and any of his previous employers. The Company shall indemnify and hold Burkland harmless from and against any and all liabilities, judgments, losses, claims, demands, damages, penalties, interest, costs and expenses of every kind whatsoever (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and disbursements) suffered or incurred by either of them as a result or by reason of any breach or alleged breach by Burkland of his obligations under any such confidentiality agreements to the extent such breach or alleged breach is based on disclosure of confidential information by Burkland to the Company or any of its affiliates, provided, however, that Burkland does not engage in an intentional breach of any such confidentiality agreements and nothing in this Section 9(c) is intended to supersede the representations, warranties and covenants in Sections 9(a) and 9(b).

SECTION 10. Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered or three (3) days after mailing if mailed by first-class, registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed (a) if to Burkland, to the attention of Mike Burkland,                                     , or to such other person(s) or address(es) as Burkland shall have furnished to the Company in writing; and (b) if to the Company, to the attention of the Board of Directors, Five9, Inc., 4000 Executive Parkway, Suite 400, San Ramon, California 94583, with a copy to Tim Curry, Esq., Jones Day, 1755 Embarcadero Road, Palo Alto, California 94303, or to such other person(s) or address(es) as the Company shall have furnished to Burkland in writing.

This Agreement cancels and supersedes any and all prior oral or written agreements between the Company and either MJB Associates or Burkland or both which relate to the subject matter of this Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and agreements evidencing any Options, this Agreement shall control.

SECTION 14. Equitable Relief. Burkland recognizes and agrees that the Company’s remedy at law for any breach of the provisions of Sections 7 and 8 hereof would be inadequate, and agrees that for breach of such provisions, the Company shall, in addition to such other remedies as may be available to it at law or in equity or as provided in this Agreement, be entitled to injunctive relief and to enforce its rights by an action for specific performance to the extent permitted by law.

SECTION 15. Waiver and Amendments.

SECTION 16. Severability.

Employee Name:  Michael Burkland

AGREEMENT REGARDING CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY NON-SOLICITATION

In consideration of my employment or continued employment by Five 9, Inc., a Delaware corporation, or any parent division, subsidiary, affiliate, successor or assignee thereof (collectively, the “Company”), and the compensation and benefits paid to me from time to time by the Company, I agree as follows:

 

1. Competitive Employment. While I am employed by the Company, I agree that, other than for the Company, I will not, either directly or indirectly, either as a principal, agent, employee, employer, partner or shareholder (other than as an owner of 2% or less of the stock of a public corporation) or in any other capacity, engage in any manner in the business conducted by the Company or any of its divisions, subsidiaries or affiliates.

 

2. Definition of Confidential Information. I realize that my position with the Company creates a relationship of high trust and confidence with respect to Confidential Information owned by the Company, its clients or suppliers that may be learned or developed by me while employed by the Company. I further acknowledge that my access to such Confidential Information is contingent upon my execution of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” includes all information that the Company desires to protect and keep confidential or that the Company is obligated to third parties to keep confidential, including but not limited to “Trade Secrets” to the full extent of the definition of that term under California law. It does not include “general skills, knowledge and experience” as those terms are defined under California law.

 

3. Examples of Confidential Information. Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to: computer programs; unpatented inventions, discoveries and improvements; marketing, manufacturing, organizational, operating and business plans; strategic models; research and development; the Company policies and manuals; sales forecasts; personnel information (including the identity of the Company employees, their responsibilities, competence and abilities, and compensation); medical information about employees; pricing and nonpublic financial information; current and prospective client lists and information on clients or their employees; information concerning planned or pending acquisitions or divestitures; and information concerning purchases of major equipment or property.

 

4. General Skills, Knowledge and Experience. If I leave the Company, I may take with me and use the general skills, knowledge and experience that I have learned or developed in my position or positions with the Company or others.

 

5. Confidentiality Obligations. During and after my employment with the Company, I will not (a) disclose, directly or indirectly, any Confidential Information to anyone outside of the Company or to any employees of the Company not authorized to receive such information or (b) use any Confidential Information other than as may be necessary to perform my duties at the Company. In no event will I disclose any Confidential Information to, or use any Confidential Information for the benefit of, any current or future competitor, supplier or client of the Company, whether on behalf of myself, any subsequent employer, or any other person or entity.

6. Duration. With respect to Trade Secrets, my obligations under paragraph 5 shall continue indefinitely or until such Trade Secret information has been made available generally to the public either by the Company or by a third party with the Company’s consent or is otherwise not considered a Trade Secret under California law. With respect to Confidential Information which is not a Trade Secret (herein referred to as “Proprietary Information”), my obligations under paragraph 5 shall continue in duration until the first to occur of the following: (a) five (5) years has elapsed since termination of my employment with the Company for any reason, or (b) the Proprietary Information has been made available generally to the public either by the Company or by a third party with the Company’s consent.

 

7. Geographic Scope. I understand that the Company has sales and operations facilities throughout the United States and in a number of foreign countries, that it purchases equipment and materials from suppliers located throughout the world, and that it expects to expand the scope of its international activities in the future. I therefore agree that my obligations under paragraph 5 shall extend worldwide.

 

8. Former Employers. I acknowledge that the Company expects me to respect and safeguard the trade secrets and confidential information of my former employers. I have not and will not disclose to the Company, use in the Company’s business, or cause the Company to use, any information or material that is confidential to any former employer, unless such information is no longer confidential or the Company or I have obtained the written consent of such former employer to do so.

 

9. Return of Property. Upon termination of my employment with the Company or upon the Company’s request, I will deliver to the Company all the Company’s property in my possession, including notebooks, reports, manuals, programming data, listings and materials, engineering or patent drawings, patent applications, any other documents, file or materials which contain, mention or relate to Confidential Information, and all copies and summaries of such material whether in human- or machine-readable-only form, that I may have or that may come into my custody while employed by the Company.

 

10. Restrictive Covenants.

 

  (a) Non-Solicitation of Employees. While employed by the Company and for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of termination of my employment with the Company for any reason, I shall not directly or indirectly solicit, induce or encourage any the Company employee(s) to terminate their employment with the Company or to accept employment with any competitor, supplier or client of the Company, nor shall I cooperate with any others in doing or attempting to do so. As used herein, the term “solicit, induce or encourage” includes, but is not limited to, (i) initiating communications with a Company employee relating to possible employment, (ii) offering bonuses or additional compensation to encourage the Company’s employees to terminate their employment with the Company and accept employment with a competitor, supplier or client of the Company, or (iii) referring the Company’s employees to personnel or agents employed by competitors, suppliers or clients of the Company.

 

B-2

  (b) Non-Solicitation of Customers. For a period of twelve (12) months from the date of termination of my employment with the Company for any reason, I agree that I will not, either directly or indirectly, as a principal, agent, contractor, employee, employer, partner or shareholder (other than as an owner of 2% or less of the stock of a public corporation) or in any other capacity, through the direct or indirect use of the Company’s Confidential Information, solicit or engage in the business engaged in by the Company as of the date of termination of my employment (“Five9 Business”) with any customer or client which was a customer or client, or a prospective customer or client, of the Company (provided I had responsibilities or duties with respect to, possessed Confidential Information regarding or was involved in the development of such customer or client or prospective customer or client), within the twelve (12) months immediately preceding my termination.

 

  (c) I acknowledge that the restrictions set forth in this paragraph will not prevent me from obtaining gainful employment following termination of my employment with the Company.

 

  (d) In the event that any provision of this paragraph is held to be unreasonable, a court may modify such provision in any manner which results in an enforceable restriction.

 

11. Injunctive Relief. I acknowledge that my violation of the foregoing confidentiality, non- solicitation and non-competition obligations will cause the Company irreparable harm. I agree that the Company is entitled to protection from such violations, including protection by injunctive relief, in addition to other remedies available under the law.

 

12. Definition of Developments. For purposes of this Agreement, “Developments” shall Mean all inventions, discoveries, developments, improvements, works of authorship and computer programs, ideas, concepts, enhancements, writings, graphics, designs, models, artwork, code, routines, compilations and related documentation (collectively, “Developments”) that are or have been made, conceived, first reduced to practice or learned by me either solely or jointly with another or others while employed by the Company, including prior to the date hereof, whether or not they are patentable, copyrightable or subject to trade secret protection.

 

13. Disclosure of Developments. I will disclose promptly to the Company all Developments, including, to the extent not already done so, any Development made, conceived, first reduced to practice or learned by me either solely or jointly with another or others both prior to or after the date of this Agreement.

 

14.

Ownership of Developments. I agree that, except as otherwise provided in paragraph 16 hereof, all Developments shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company. Any Development for which copyright protection is available shall be considered a work made for hire. I agree to assign and do hereby assign, convey and transfer to the Company, or to some other legal entity (“Assignee”) designated by the Company, all of my right, title and interest

 

B-3

  in and to all Developments in all media throughout the world in perpetuity. Without limiting the foregoing, I hereby assign, convey and transfer to the Company or an Assignee all of my right, title and interest in and to any Developments (other than Excluded Developments, as defined below) created prior to this Agreement. I further agree to waive any moral or similar rights to the Developments.

 

15. Protection of Developments. The Company or Assignee shall have the right to use the Developments and obtain Letters Patent, Copyrights (as author or assignee) or other statutory or common law protections for Developments in any and all countries. I will provide the Company or Assignee such assistance as may be requested in order for the Company to obtain or otherwise secure, and from time to time enforce, U.S. or foreign Letters Patent, copyrights or other statutory or common law protections for Developments, including the execution of any and all documents that the Company or Assignee may wish to use or obtain or otherwise secure or enforce such rights, together with any assignments thereof to the Company or Assignee, and to the successors and assigns of the Company or Assignee, transferring all of my right, title and interest in any Development, and the right to apply for or otherwise obtain any such rights. The Company or Assignee shall have the sole right to determine what action, if any, to take with respect to any Development. If I am unavailable for any reason, I hereby appoint the Company, as my agent and attorneys-in-fact, to execute and file any document(s) and to do all other acts to establish the Company’s or Assignee’s ownership in, and further the prosecution, issuance, enforcement and maintenance of, any Development. All expenses incurred in obtaining and enforcing rights in Developments owned by or assigned to the Company shall be borne by the Company.

 

16. Post-Employment Assistance. If I am no longer employed by the Company, the Company or Assignee shall compensate me at a reasonable rate for time actually spent by me at the request of the Company or Assignee on the assistance referred to in paragraph 14. Such rate shall be determined by the Company and shall be based on my compensation at the time my employment with the Company was terminated. The Company or Assignee shall also reimburse me for pre-approved traveling and personal expenses incurred in complying with such request.

 

17. Employee Inventions. I understand that, as provided by California Labor Code § 2870, the provisions of paragraphs 12, 13 and 14 of this Agreement do not apply to an invention that I develop entirely on my own time and to which all of the following apply: (i) no equipment, supplies, facilities or trade secret information of Company are used, (ii) it is not related to Company’s business or Company’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research and development, and (iii) it does not result from any work performed by me for Company.

 

18.

Pre-Existing Developments. I have identified at the end of this Agreement all Developments that have been made or conceived or first reduced to practice by me alone or jointly with others prior to my employment with the Company and that I desire to exclude from operation of this Agreement (“Excluded Developments”). If there are no Developments listed, I represent that I have made no such Developments. If I incorporate or have prior to the date of this Agreement incorporated any Excluded Developments into any Company product or service or otherwise use or have used an Excluded Development for the Company’s benefit as part of my Company employment activities, the Company is hereby granted and shall have a fully paid, nonexclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, transferable

 

B-4

  and sublicensable license to make, have made, modify, create derivative works, reproduce, use, offer to sell, sell, import and distribute such Excluded Developments (as may be improved or enhanced by or for Company) and any Company product or Company service incorporating such Excluded Developments.

 

19. Payments. With respect to any Development for which the Company seeks to obtain U.S. or foreign Letters Patent, the Company will pay me the sum of Five Hundred Dollars ($500) when I execute an assignment of the Development to the Company, or when I execute the first patent application and assignment covering the Development, whichever occurs first. Divisional or continuation-in-part applications shall be considered to cover separate Developments. The payment of the sum of Five Hundred Dollars ($500) shall relieve the Company of any obligation it may have had to make any further payments to me with respect to such Development. If there are several co-inventors, this sum shall be divided equally between them.

 

20. Identification of Authorship. The Company, its assignees and licensees are not required to designate me as the author of any Developments created as a work made for hire or assigned under this Agreement when any such work is distributed publicly, nor to make any such public distribution or any use thereof.

 

21. Subsidiaries and Affiliates. I understand and agree that this Agreement is executed by the Company on its own behalf and on behalf of each of its subsidiaries and affiliates, that my obligations under this Agreement shall apply equally to each of the Company’s subsidiaries and affiliates and that such subsidiaries and affiliates may enforce this Agreement in their own names and if they were parties to this Agreement.

 

22. Prior Agreements. This Agreement supersedes all previous agreements relating to the same subject matter, including the Prior Agreement, except that the provisions of such previous agreements shall remain in effect with respect to any Developments disclosed by me to the Company prior to the date of this Agreement and this Agreement shall modify according to the terms hereof, but not terminate, any license or transfer of rights effected pursuant to such agreements. Any Development made or conceived during the term of such previous agreement but not disclosed until after the date of this Agreement shall be governed by the terms of this Agreement. The terms of this Agreement may only be modified in a writing signed by a senior officer of the Company.

 

23. Severability. If any provisions of this Agreement are held by a court to be void or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. If a court is of the opinion that any part of this Agreement is unreasonable, it may modify this Agreement to make it reasonable and enforceable in all respects.

 

24. Recovery of Expenses. I agree to pay to the Company the costs and reasonable attorney’s fees by incurred by the Company, if it prevails in enforcing any or all of the terms of this Agreement.

 

25. Survival of Obligations. The provisions of paragraph 2-15 and 17-23 of this Agreement shall survive its termination.

26. Assignment.

 

  (a) By the Employee.

  (b) By the Company. I acknowledge and agree that this Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Company hereunder may be assigned by the Company an affiliate or successor by purchase or otherwise of the Company without my prior written approval, upon notice to me.

Re: Confirmation of Terms of Employment by Five9, Inc.

Dear Barry:

I am very pleased to confirm the terms of your continuing employment with Five9, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in the position of Chief Financial Officer. This letter (the “Clarifying Letter”) supersedes and replaces in their entirety our original offer letter with you, dated November 15, 2011 (the “Prior Letter”), and the Amendment to Offer Letter, dated March 19, 2012 (the “Amendment to Prior Letter”).

Salary. Your current base salary is $336,095 per year (as adjusted from time to time, your “Salary”), less all applicable deductions required by law, which will be payable at the times and in the installments consistent with the Company’s then current payroll practice. Your Salary is subject to periodic review and adjustment in accordance with the Company’s policies in effect from time to time.

Incentive Compensation; Benefits. You continue to be eligible to participate in the Company’s incentive compensation program as applicable to senior executives, currently at a target bonus amount of $128,655 per year. You also continue to be eligible to participate in the health and welfare benefit plans as maintained by the Company for its employees from time to time in accordance with the terms of those programs and plans. The Company reserves the right to change the terms of its programs and plans at any time.

Confidentiality. As an employee of the Company, you have access to certain confidential information of the Company and you may, during the course of your employment, develop certain information or inventions that will be the property of the Company. To protect the interests of the Company, you previously signed the Company’s standard Agreement Regarding Confidential Information, Intellectual Property, Non-Solicitation (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), the terms of which are incorporated by reference herein and continue in full force and effect.

Severance & Accelerated Vesting Benefits. We remind you that employment with the Company is on an at will basis, meaning our employment relationship can be terminated by either of us for any reason, at any time, with or without prior notice and with or without cause. As of the date of this letter, on an involuntary termination of employment, you are eligible to receive the severance

benefits described on Attachment A to this Clarifying Letter. On the successful completion of the initial public offering of the Company’s common stock, you will become a participant in the Company’s Key Employee Severance Benefit Plan, as a Tier 2 participant, and your rights to severance and accelerated vesting on any termination of employment, whether or not in connection with a change of control of the Company, will be only as set forth in that Key Employee Severance Benefit Plan, and Attachment A will be of no further force or effect.

Section 409A. The Company intends that compensatory payments and benefits to you satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the exemptions from the application of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code provided under Treasury Regulations Sections 1.409A-1(b)(4), 1.409A-1(b)(5), and 1.409A-(b)(9) and will be construed to the greatest extent possible as consistent with those provisions. For purposes of Section 409A and the regulations and other guidance thereunder and any state law of similar effect (collectively, “Section 409A”), all compensatory payments made by the Company (whether severance payments or otherwise) will be treated as a right to receive a series of separate payments and will at all times be considered a separate and distinct payment. Any payments and benefits that are not exempt from application of Section 409A will be interpreted and administered so as to comply with the requirements of Section 409A to the greatest extent possible. Therefore, if you are deemed by the Company at the time of your “separation from service” (as defined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h), without regard to alternative definitions thereunder) to be a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), and if payments due to you on a separation from service are deemed to be “deferred compensation,” then if delayed commencement of any portion of such payments is required to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) and the related adverse taxation under Section 409A, such payments will not be provided to you until the earliest of (a) the expiration of the six month period measured from the date of your separation from service (or, if required under Section 409A, the expiration of the applicable 18 month period), (b) the date of your death or (c) such earlier date as permitted under Section 409A without the imposition of adverse taxation, and on the first business day following the expiration of such applicable Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) period, all payments deferred by this paragraph will be paid in a lump sum to you, and any remaining payments due will be paid as originally provided and no interest will be due on any amounts so delayed.

Outside Activities. During your employment, you will continue to devote your best efforts to the performance of your duties to the Company. You may not engage in any activity that creates a conflict of interest with those duties or the Company’s business (including any participation in a competitive business). During your employment, and with the prior consent of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, you may serve on the board of directors of up to two companies or organizations, provided no such entity is a competitor of the Company and your service does not materially interfere with your duties to the Company.

Attachment A

Severance Benefits. If your employment is terminated by the Company without Cause, or by you pursuant to a Constructive Termination, you will be entitled to receive severance equal to 6 months of your base salary, payable in accordance with the Company’s customary payroll practices over those 6 months, and the Company will pay for your share of the premiums for continuation of your health benefits under COBRA for up to 6 months, as and when due to the carrier(s). All of the severance will be subject to applicable tax withholdings.

Additional Change in Control Severance Benefits. If a Change in Control (as defined below) occurs and your employment is terminated by the Company, either without Cause or due to Constructive Termination (both as defined below) at any time within a period of twelve (12) months following a Change in Control, each of your then-outstanding stock options, to the extent unvested, will immediately become vested and exercisable as to fifty percent (50%) of the then-unvested shares subject to each such option. Any portion of an option that is not vested after giving effect to the foregoing clause shall terminate as of the date of such termination of your employment.

Release and Payment Timing. You and the Company hereby acknowledge that you shall not be entitled to receive the severance benefits provided for in this letter or the acceleration of the vesting provided for in this letter unless you sign and do not revoke a general release of claims in the form provided by the Company. No severance will be paid prior to the 60th day after your termination, while waiting for the effectiveness of the release, and a lump sum catch up payment will be paid on that 60th day, with the balance paid on the original schedule.

Definitions.

Cause” means (i) fraud, embezzlement, willful misconduct or a material violation of law that is materially detrimental to the Company or any of its affiliates; (ii) gross negligence with respect to the Company or any of its affiliates that causes material harm to the Company or any affiliate; (iii) conviction or plea of guilty or nolo contendere for a felony or a crime of moral turpitude that causes material harm to the Company’s reputation or (iv) a material breach of any provision of this letter or any provision of the Company’s Code of Conduct that is applicable to the Company’s employees; provided, however, that if a cure is reasonably possible in the circumstances, that at least 15 days’ advance written notice of such breach has been provided (which notice shall specifically set forth the nature of such breach), and failure to cure such breach within such 15-day period.

Constructive Termination” means a material default by the Company in the performance of its obligations under the letter setting forth your terms and conditions of employment, but only if the Company does not cure such default within 30 days after receipt by the Company of written notice from you identifying the nature of the default. Material default means: (i) the assignment to you of

Payment of each Quarterly Commission Bonus requires that you are an employee in good standing at the end of each Quarterly period.

remaining seventy-five percent (75%) of the shares subject to the Initial Option will vest in thirty-six (36) substantially equal monthly installments thereafter. In each case, the vesting of the Initial Option is subject to your continued services to the Company through the respective vesting date.

Change in Control. If a Change in Control of the Company (as defined below) occurs and more than fifty percent (50%) of the Option is then outstanding and unvested, the vesting of the Option shall accelerate such that (after giving effect to such acceleration and taking into account any portion of the Option that had theretofore become vested and exercisable), the Option shall have become vested and exercisable as of the Change in Control date with respect to fifty percent (50%) of the total number of shares subject to the original Option grant. In addition, if your employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause or due to Constructive Termination at any time within a period of twelve (12) months following a Change in Control of the Company, then (i) the Option, to the extent outstanding and unvested (after giving effect to the accelerated vesting contemplated above), shall immediately become vested and exercisable with respect to fifty percent (50%) of the shares covered by the then-outstanding and unvested portion. Any portion of the Option that is not vested after giving effect to the foregoing clause (i) shall terminate as of the date of such termination of your employment.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Change in Control” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following on or after the Effective Date:

 

  (i) an acquisition of the Company by another entity by means of any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, any reorganization, merger or consolidation, or sale of more than 50% of the outstanding voting stock of the Company), or

 

  (ii) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (collectively, a “Merger”), so long as, in either case, the Company’s stockholders of record immediately prior to such Merger will, immediately after such Merger, hold less than 50% of the voting power of the surviving or acquiring entity.

In the event you are terminated, without Cause, after the 180th day of employment with the Company, you will be entitled to receive a severance equal to 6 months of your then-current base salary and benefits (subject to standard withholding and payroll deductions), payable in accordance with the Company’s customary payroll practices.

You will be entitled to 15 days of Paid Time-Off (PTO) per year. Your PTO will accrue at the rate of 1.25 days per month. As a full-time employee of the Company, you will be eligible to participate in Company-sponsored benefits and be a member of any employee benefit plans that the Company may establish and that are generally available to other employees of the Company. At the present time, these benefits include medical, dental and vision. In the near future, we will provide you more detailed information about these benefits, including eligibility rules.

Employment at the Company is “at will.” This means that you are free to resign at any time with or without Cause (defined below) or prior notice. Similarly, the Company is free to terminate our employment relationship with you at any time, with or without Cause or prior notice. As you know, Five9 is involved in a highly competitive and quickly evolving industry. Although your job duties, title, compensation and benefits, as well as the Company’s policies and procedures, may change from time-to-time, the “at-will” nature of your employment may only be changed in a document signed by you and the CEO of the Company. Your employment with the Company is subject to Five9’s general employment policies, many of which are described in the Five9 Employee Handbook.

You will devote your best efforts to the performance of your job for Company. While employed at Company, you will not undertake any other activity requiring your business time and attention, nor support (by way of investment or otherwise) any activity that may be competitive with the Company’s business or pose a conflict of interest with that business.

In the unlikely event of a dispute between Company and you arising out of your employment or the termination of your employment, we each agree to submit our dispute to binding arbitration in the City and County of Alameda, California. This means that there will be no court or jury trial of disputes between us concerning your employment or the termination of your employment. While this agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broad (and covers, for example, claims under state and federal laws prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race, sex, age, disability, family leave, etc.), it is not applicable to your rights under the California Workers’ Compensation Law, which are governed under the special provisions of that law, or to enforcement of the attached agreement concerning confidential information and ownership of inventions.

Dan, we hope that you will accept our employment offer on the above terms and conditions, which can be modified only in a writing signed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. This letter sets forth the terms of your employment with us and supersedes any prior representations or agreements, whether written or oral. We realize that this sounds a bit formal, but we want to make sure that you understand the important aspects of employment at Five9, before you make a decision about joining us. To accept our offer, please return one original copy of your signed offer letter to me at your earliest convenience.

Please contact me if you have any questions whatsoever about this letter or your employment. We are looking forward to you joining us as a member of the Five9 team.

Acknowledgement and Waiver. Executive and the Company hereby acknowledge that Executive shall not be entitled to receive the severance benefits provided for in the Offer Letter or the acceleration of the vesting provided for in the Offer Letter unless the Executive signs and does not revoke a general release of claims in the form provided by the Company.


You will be entitled to 15 days of Paid Time-Off (PTO) per year. Your PTO will accrue at the rate of 1.25 days per month. As a full-time employee of the Company, you will be eligible to participate in Company-sponsored benefits and be a member of any employee benefit plans that the Company may establish and that are generally available to other employees of the Company. At the present time, these benefits include medical, dental and vision. In the near future, we will provide you more detailed information about these benefits, including eligibility rules.

Employment at the Company is “at will.” This means that you are free to resign at any time with or without Cause (defined below) or prior notice. Similarly, the Company is free to terminate our employment relationship with you at any time, with or without Cause or prior notice. As you know, Five9 is involved in a highly competitive and quickly evolving industry. Although your job duties, title, compensation and benefits, as well as the Company’s policies and procedures, may change from time-to-time, the “at-will” nature of your employment may only be changed in a document signed by you and the CEO of the Company. Your employment with the Company is subject to Five9’s general employment policies, many of which are described in the Five9 Employee Handbook.

You will devote your best efforts to the performance of your job for Company. While employed at Company, you will not undertake any other activity requiring your business time and attention, nor support (by way of investment or otherwise) any activity that may be competitive with the Company’s business or pose a conflict of interest with that business. However, you may sit on up to 3 outside advisory boards (or board of directors) with other companies, provided that they are not competitive to Five9. You will follow the Company’s policies and procedures (including our policies protecting other employees against discrimination and sexual harassment) as described to you from time to time.

Your employment pursuant to this offer is contingent on the following: (1) your signing of the Company’s Proprietary Information and Inventions Assignment Agreement, which, among other things, requires that you will not, during your employment with the Company, improperly use or disclose any proprietary information or trade secrets of any former employer and will not bring onto the Company’s premises any confidential or proprietary information of any former employer unless that employer has consented to such action in writing; (2) your ability to provide the Company with the legally-required proof of your identity and authorization to work in the United States; (3) our satisfaction that you will not be in violation of any non-compete, proprietary invention and information agreements, or any other similar agreement between you and any current or former employer; and (4) completion of satisfactory reference checking.

In the unlikely event of a dispute between Company and you arising out of your employment or the termination of your employment, we each agree to submit our dispute to binding arbitration in the City and County of Alameda, California. This means that there will be no court or jury trial of disputes between us concerning your employment or the termination of your employment. While this agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broad (and covers, for example, claims under state and federal laws prohibiting


discrimination on the basis of race, sex, age, disability, family leave, etc.), it is not applicable to your rights under the California Workers’ Compensation Law, which are governed under the special provisions of that law, or to enforcement of the attached agreement concerning confidential information and ownership of inventions.

David, we hope that you will accept our employment offer on the above terms and conditions, which can be modified only in writing as signed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. This letter sets forth the terms of your employment with us and supersedes any prior representations or agreements, whether written or oral, including any other agreement between you and the Company regarding payment of any severance and/or stock option vesting acceleration. We realize that this sounds a bit formal, but we want to make sure that you understand the important aspects of employment at Five9, before you make a decision about joining us. To accept our offer, please return one original copy of your signed offer letter to me at your earliest convenience.

Please contact me if you have any questions whatsoever about this letter or your employment. We are looking forward to you joining us as a member of the Five9 team.

 

Sincerely,

/s/ Mike Burkland

Dear Moni:

This position will report to Mike Burkland, CEO. In this position you will be eligible to work from your home office up to two days per week. This is a position which carries considerable responsibility and which is integral to the continued development and success of our Company. This letter formally presents the specifics of our offer of employment, which you should read and carefully consider.

Your expected employment start date is July 25, 2013. In your position as Executive Vice President of Products, you will receive a base annual salary of $275,000 paid semi-monthly at a rate of $11,458.33 per pay period. You will be eligible for a merit increase during the company’s next annual compensation review the percentage of which will be calculated on a pro-rated basis from your date of hire. In addition, you will be eligible to earn an annual bonus of up to $110,000 of annual variable compensation which will be paid quarterly and based on achievement of objectives, subject to standard withholding and payroll deductions. Your first quarterly bonus will be pro-rated from your date of hire.

The Company has adopted an Equity Incentive Plan (the “Stock Option Plan”). Subject to approval by the Board of Directors, you will be granted an option to purchase 1,629,334 shares of the Company’s common stock (which represents 1% of the Company’s current shares outstanding) under the Company’s current Stock Option Plan (the “Initial Option”). The per-share option exercise price of the Initial Option will be equal to the per-share fair market value of the common stock on the date of the option grant as determined by the Board of Directors of Five9, Inc. Subject to the conditions above, if the Initial Option is granted, the vesting start date for such Initial Option will be your start date as an employee of Five9. This option shall be subject to vesting over a four-year period (one-year 25% cliff; monthly thereafter) and other standard provisions set forth in the Company’s stock option documentation.

Change in Control. If a Change in Control of the Company (as defined below) closes during your employment prior to full vesting of the Initial Option, then the Initial Option shall immediately become vested and exercisable with respect to an additional twenty-five percent (25%) of the then-unvested portion of the Initial Option (“Single Trigger”). Furthermore, if a Change in Control of the Company (as defined below) closes at any time during your employment and your employment is terminated by the Company, other than for Cause, or you resign due to a Constructive Termination (both as defined

For purposes of this Agreement, “Change in Control” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following on or after the Start Date:

 

  (i) an acquisition of the Company by another entity by means of any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, any reorganization, merger or consolidation, or sale of more than 50% of the outstanding voting stock of the Company), or

 

  (ii) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (collectively, a “Merger”), so long as, in either case, the Company’s stockholders of record immediately prior to such Merger, hold less than 50% of the voting power of the surviving or acquiring entity.

In the event your employment is terminated by the Company, without Cause, or by you pursuant to a Constructive Termination, you will be entitled to receive a severance up to six times your monthly base salary with the following ramp up schedule: termination from 0-60 days equals 3 months of severance, termination from 61-120 days equals 4 months of severance, termination from 121-180 days equals 5 months of severance and termination after 181 days of employment equals six months of severance. Any severance received is subject to standard withholding and payroll deductions and is payable in accordance with the Company’s customary payroll practices. During the period in which you are paid a severance from the Company, the Company will pay for the continuation of your health benefits.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean (i) fraud, embezzlement, willful misconduct or a material violation of law that is materially detrimental to the Company or any of its affiliates; (ii) gross negligence with respect to the Company or any of its affiliates that causes material harm to the Company or any affiliate; (iii) conviction or plea of guilty or nolo contendere for a felony or a crime of moral turpitude that causes material harm to the Company’s reputation or (iv) a material breach of any provision of this Offer Letter or any provision of the Company’s Code of Conduct that is applicable to the Company’s employees; provided, however, that if a cure is reasonable possible in the circumstances, that at least 15 days’ advance written notice of such breach has been provided (which notice shall specifically set forth the nature of such breach), and failure to cure such breach within such 15-day period.

Exhibit 10.8

EXECUTION VERSION

Five 9, Inc.

Amended and Restated

2004 Equity Incentive Plan

1. Purpose. The purpose of the Plan is to provide incentives to attract, retain and motivate eligible persons whose present and potential contributions are important to the success of the Company by offering them an opportunity to participate in the Company’s future performance through awards of Options, Restricted Stock and Stock Bonuses. Capitalized terms not defined in the text are defined in Section 23.

2. Shares Subject to the Plan.

2.1 Number of Shares Available. Subject to Sections 2.2 and 18, the total number of Shares reserved and available for grant and issuance pursuant to the Plan shall be 27,566,7761 Shares. Subject to Sections 2.2 and 18, Shares shall again be available for grant and issuance in connection with future Awards under the Plan that: (a) are subject to issuance upon exercise of an Option but cease to be subject to such Option for any reason other than exercise of such Option; (b) are subject to an Award granted hereunder but are forfeited; or (c) are subject to an Award that otherwise terminates without Shares being issued.

2.2 Adjustment of Shares. In the event that the number of outstanding Shares is changed by a stock dividend, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, subdivision, combination, reclassification or similar change in the capital structure of the Company without consideration, then (a) the number of Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan; (b) the Exercise Prices of and number of Shares subject to outstanding Options; and (c) the number of Shares subject to other outstanding Awards shall be proportionately adjusted, subject to any required action by the Board or the stockholders of the Company and compliance with applicable securities laws; provided, however, that fractions of a Share shall not be issued but shall either be paid in cash at Fair Market Value or shall be rounded up to the nearest Share, as determined by the Committee.

3. Eligibility. ISOs (as defined in Section 5 below) may be granted only to employees (including officers and directors who are also employees) of the Company, or of a Parent or Subsidiary of the Company. All other Awards may be granted to employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors of the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company; provided, however, such grantees are persons described in Rule 701(c) promulgated under the Securities Act; and provided further, however, such consultants and advisors are natural persons who render bona fide services not in connection with the offer and sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction. A person may be granted more than one Award under the Plan.

 

 

1  Total number of Shares reserved for grant and issuance pursuant to the Plan was increased to 33,102,615 as of March 30, 2011, increased to 39,763,404 as of April 27, 2012, increased to 44,210,905 as of April 24, 2013; and increased to 47,531,331 as of November 22, 2013.


4. Administration.

  (j) determine whether an Award has been earned; and

 

  (k) make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan.

4.2 Committee Discretion. Any determination made by the Committee with respect to any Award shall be made in its sole discretion at the time of grant of the Award or, unless in contravention of any express term of the Plan or Award, at any later time, and such determination shall be final and binding on the Company and all persons having an interest in any Award under the Plan. The Committee may delegate to one or more officers of the Company the authority to grant an Award under the Plan to Participants who are not Insiders of the Company.

4.3 Exchange Act Requirements. If the Company is subject to the Exchange Act, the Company will take appropriate steps to comply with the disinterested director requirements of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, including but not limited to, the appointment by the Board of a Committee consisting of not less than two (2) persons (who are members of the Board), each of whom is a Disinterested Person.

5. Options. The Committee may grant Options to eligible persons and shall determine whether such Options shall be Incentive Stock Options within the meaning of the Code (“ISOs”) or Nonqualified Stock Options (“NSOs”), the number of Shares subject to the Option, the Exercise Price of the Option, the period during which the Option may be exercised, and all other terms and conditions of the Option, subject to the following:

5.1 Form of Option Grant. Each Option granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement which shall expressly identify the Option as an ISO or NSO (“Stock Option Agreement”), and be in such form and contain such provisions (which need not be the same for each Participant) as the Committee shall from time to time approve, and which shall comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.

5.2 Date of Grant. The date of grant of an Option shall be the date on which the Committee makes the determination to grant such Option, unless otherwise specified by the Committee. The Stock Option Agreement and a copy of the Plan will be delivered to the Participant within a reasonable time after the granting of the Option.

5.3 Exercise Period. Options shall be exercisable within the times or upon the events determined by the Committee as set forth in the Stock Option Agreement; provided, however, that no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from the date the Option is granted, and provided further that no ISO granted to a person who directly or by attribution owns more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company (“Ten Percent Stockholder”) shall be exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years from the date the Option is granted. The Committee also may provide for Options to become exercisable at one time or from time to time, periodically or otherwise, in such number or percentage as the Committee determines.

5.4 Exercise Price. The Exercise Price shall be determined by the Committee when the Option is granted; provided that (i) the Exercise Price of an Option shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of grant; and (ii) the Exercise Price of an ISO granted to a Ten Percent Stockholder shall not be less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of grant. Payment for the Shares purchased may be made in accordance with Section 8 of the Plan.

5.5 Method of Exercise. Options may be exercised only by delivery to the Company of a written stock option exercise agreement (the “Exercise Agreement”) in a form approved by the Committee (which need not be the same for each Participant), stating the number of Shares being purchased, the restrictions imposed on the Shares, if any, and such representations and agreements regarding Participant’s investment intent and access to information and other matters, if any, as may be required or desirable by the Company to comply with applicable securities laws, together with appropriate payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Shares being purchased.

 

- 3 -


5.6 Termination. Notwithstanding the exercise periods set forth in the Stock Option Agreement, exercise of an Option shall always be subject to the following:

 

  (a) If the Participant is Terminated for any reason except death or Disability, then the Participant may exercise such Participant’s ISOs only to the extent that such ISOs would have been exercisable upon the Termination Date no later than three (3) months after the Termination Date (or such shorter time period as may be specified in the Stock Option Agreement). Except as provided in Section 5.6(b) below, any ISO that remains exercisable after three (3) months after the Termination Date shall be deemed an NSO. No Option may be exercised later than the expiration date of the Options.

 

  (b) If the Participant is Terminated because of death or Disability (or the Participant dies within three (3) months of such Termination), then Participant’s Options may be exercised only to the extent that such Options would have been exercisable by Participant on the Termination Date and must be exercised by Participant (or Participant’s legal representative or authorized assignee) no later than twelve (12) months after the Termination Date (or such shorter time period as may be specified in the Stock Option Agreement), but in any event no later than the expiration date of the Options; provided, however, that in the event of Termination due to Disability other than as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code, any ISO that remains exercisable after three (3) months after the Termination Date shall be deemed an NSO.

5.7 Limitations on Exercise. The Committee may specify a reasonable minimum number of Shares that may be purchased on any exercise of an Option; provided, however, that such minimum number will not prevent Participant from exercising the Option for the full number of Shares for which it is then exercisable.

5.8 Limitations on ISOs. The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date of grant) of Shares with respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year (under the Plan or under any other incentive stock option plan of the Company or any Affiliate, Parent or Subsidiary of the Company) shall not exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). If the Fair Market Value of Shares on the date of grant with respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year exceeds One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), the Options for the first One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) worth of Shares to become exercisable in such calendar year shall be ISOs and the Options for the amount in excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) that become exercisable in that calendar year shall be NSOs. In the event that the Code or the regulations promulgated thereunder are amended after the Effective Date of the Plan to provide for a different limit on the Fair Market Value of Shares permitted to be subject to ISOs, such different limit shall be automatically incorporated herein and shall apply to any Options granted after the effective date of such amendment.

 

- 4 -


5.9 Modification, Extension or Renewal. The Committee may modify, extend or renew outstanding Options and authorize the grant of new Options in substitution therefor; provided, however, that any such action may not without the written consent of Participant, impair any of Participant’s rights under any Option previously granted. Any outstanding ISO that is modified, extended, renewed or otherwise altered shall be treated in accordance with Section 424(h) of the Code. The Committee may reduce the Exercise Price of outstanding Options without the consent of Participants affected by a written notice to them; provided, however, that the Exercise Price may not be reduced below the minimum Exercise Price that would be permitted under Section 5.4 of the Plan for Options granted on the date the action is taken to reduce the Exercise Price.

5.10 No Disqualification. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan, no term of the Plan relating to ISOs shall be interpreted, amended or altered, nor shall any discretion or authority granted under the Plan be exercised, so as to disqualify the Plan under Section 422 of the Code or, without the consent of the Participant affected, to disqualify any ISO under Section 422 of the Code.

6. Restricted Stock. A Restricted Stock Award is an offer by the Company to sell to an eligible person Shares that are subject to restrictions (“Restricted Stock”). The Committee shall determine to whom an offer will be made, the number of Shares the person may purchase, the price to be paid (the “Purchase Price”), the restrictions to which the Shares shall be subject, and all other terms and conditions of the Restricted Stock Award, subject to the following:

6.1 Form of Restricted Stock Award. All purchases under a Restricted Stock Award made pursuant to the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement (“Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement”) that shall be in such form (which need not be the same for each Participant) as the Committee shall from time to time approve, and shall comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. The offer of Restricted Stock shall be accepted by the Participant’s execution and delivery of the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement and full payment for the Shares to the Company within thirty (30) days, unless otherwise provided for by the Committee, from the date the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement is delivered to the person. If such person does not execute and deliver the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement along with full payment for the Shares to the Company within thirty (30) days, then the offer shall terminate, unless otherwise determined by the Committee.

6.2 Purchase Price. The Purchase Price of Shares sold pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award shall be determined by the Committee at the time of grant. Payment of the Purchase Price may be made in accordance with Section 8 of the Plan.

6.3 Restrictions. Restricted Stock Awards shall be subject to such restrictions as the Committee may impose. The Committee may provide for the lapse of such restrictions in installments and may accelerate or waive such restrictions, in whole or in part, based on length of service, performance or such other factors or criteria as the Committee may

determine. Restricted Stock Awards which the Committee intends to qualify under Code section 162(m) shall be subject to a performance-based goal. Restrictions on such stock shall lapse based on one or more of the following performance goals: stock price, market share, sales increases, earning per share, return on equity, cost reductions, or any other similar performance measure established by the Committee. Such performance measures shall be established by the Committee, in writing, no later than the earlier of (a) ninety (90) days after the commencement of the performance period with respect to which the Restricted Stock Award is made and (b) the date as of which twenty-five percent (25%) of such performance period has elapsed.

7. Stock Bonuses.

7.1 Awards of Stock Bonuses. A Stock Bonus is an award of Shares (which may consist of Restricted Stock) for services rendered to the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company. A Stock Bonus may be awarded for past services already rendered to the Company, or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company pursuant to an Award Agreement (the “Stock Bonus Agreement”) that shall be in such form (which need not be the same for each Participant) as the Committee shall from time to time approve, and shall comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. Subject to Section 7.2 herein, a Stock Bonus may be awarded upon satisfaction of such performance goals as are set out in advance in Participant’s individual Award Agreement (the “Performance Stock Bonus Agreement”) that shall be in such form (which need not be the same for each Participant) as the Committee shall from time to time approve, and shall comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. Stock Bonuses may vary from Participant to Participant and between groups of Participants, and may be based upon such other criteria as the Committee may determine.

7.2 Code Section 162(m). A Stock Bonus that the Committee intends to qualify for the performance-based exception under Code section 162(m) shall only be awarded based upon the attainment of one or more of the following performance goals: stock price, market share, sales increases, earning per share, return on equity, cost reductions, or any other similar performance measure established by the Committee. Such performance measures shall be established by the Committee, in writing, no later than the earlier of: (a) ninety (90) days after the commencement of the performance period with respect to which the Stock Bonus award is made; and (b) the date as of which twenty-five percent (25%) of such performance period has elapsed.

7.3 Terms of Stock Bonuses. The Committee shall determine the number of Shares to be awarded to the Participant and whether such Shares shall be Restricted Stock. If the Stock Bonus is being earned upon the satisfaction of performance goals pursuant to a Performance Stock Bonus Agreement, then the Committee shall determine: (a) the nature, length and starting date of any period during which performance is to be measured (the “Performance Period”) for each Stock Bonus; (b) the performance goals and criteria to be used to measure the performance, if any; (c) the number of Shares that may be awarded to the Participant; and (d) the extent to which such Stock Bonuses have been earned. Performance Periods may overlap and Participants may participate simultaneously with respect to Stock Bonuses that are subject to different Performance Periods and different performance goals and other criteria. The number of Shares may be fixed or may vary in accordance with such performance goals and criteria as may

 

- 6 -


be determined by the Committee. The Committee may adjust the performance goals applicable to the Stock Bonuses to take into account changes in law and accounting or tax rules and to make such adjustments as the Committee deems necessary or appropriate to reflect the impact of extraordinary or unusual items, events or circumstances to avoid windfalls or hardships.

7.4 Form of Payment. The earned portion of a Stock Bonus may be paid currently or on a deferred basis with such interest or dividend equivalent, if any, as the Committee may determine. Payment of the Purchase Price may be made in accordance with Section 8 of the Plan.

7.5 Termination During Performance Period. If a Participant is Terminated during a Performance Period for any reason, then such Participant shall be entitled to payment (whether in Shares, cash or otherwise) with respect to the Stock Bonus only to the extent earned as of the date of Termination in accordance with the Performance Stock Bonus Agreement, unless the Committee shall determine otherwise.

8. Payment For Share Purchases.

8.1 Payment. Subject to applicable laws, the consideration to be paid for the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option, including the method of payment, shall be determined by the Committee (and, in the case of an ISO, shall be determined at the time of grant). In addition to any other types of consideration and methods of payment the Committee may determine, payment for Shares purchased pursuant to the Plan may be made in cash (by check) or, where expressly approved for the Participant by the Committee and where permitted by law:

 

  (a) by cancellation of indebtedness of the Company to the Participant;

 

  (b) by surrender of Shares that either (1) have been paid for within the meaning of SEC Rule 144; or (2) were obtained by Participant in the public market;

 

  (c) by waiver of compensation due or accrued to Participant for services rendered;

 

  (d) by tender of property;

 

  (e) with respect only to purchases upon exercise of an Option, and provided that a public market for the Company’s stock exists:

 

  (1) through a “same day sale” commitment from Participant and a broker-dealer that is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (a “Dealer”) whereby the Participant irrevocably elects to exercise the Option and to sell a portion of the Shares so purchased to pay for the Exercise Price, and whereby the Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such Shares to forward the Exercise Price directly to the Company; or

 

- 7 -


  (2) through a “margin” commitment from Participant and a Dealer whereby Participant irrevocably elects to exercise the Option and to pledge the Shares so purchased to the Dealer in a margin account as security for a loan from the Dealer in the amount of the Exercise Price, and whereby the Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such Shares to forward the Exercise Price directly to the Company; or

 

  (f) with respect only to purchases upon exercise of an Option:

 

  (1) In the event that the Option is exercised immediately prior to the closing by the Company of a “corporate transaction” as defined in Section 18.1 below, or the closing of the initial public offering of the Company’s Common Stock pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act (the “Initial Public Offering”), in lieu of exercising the Option in the manner provided above, the Participant may elect to receive shares equal to the value of the Option (or the portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of the Option at the principal office of the Company together with notice of such election in which event the Company shall issue to holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:

 

  X = Y  (A – B)

      A

 

Where   X = The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Participant.
  Y = The number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under the Option (at the date of such calculation).
  A = The fair market value of one share of Common Stock (at the date of such calculation).
  B = The Purchase Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).

 

  (2) For purposes of this Section 8.1(f), the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock shall be the price per share which the Company receives for a single share of Common Stock in the corporate transaction, or, if the Option is exercised in connection with the Initial Public Offering, the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock shall be equal to the mid-price of the range of prices set forth in the registration statement relating to the Initial Public Offering or, if a subsequent amendment thereto sets forth a different range of prices (other than a “pricing amendment” setting forth a single, final price) then the mid-price of the range of prices set forth in such amendment; or

 

  (g) by any combination of the foregoing.

9. Withholding Taxes.

9.1 Withholding Generally. Whenever Shares are to be issued in satisfaction of Awards granted under the Plan, the Company may require the Participant to remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state and local withholding tax requirements prior to the delivery of any certificate or certificates for such Shares. Whenever, under the Plan, payments in satisfaction of Awards are to be made in cash, such payment shall be net of an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local withholding tax requirements.

9.2 Stock Withholding. When, under applicable tax laws, a Participant incurs tax liability in connection with the grant, exercise or vesting of any Award that is subject to tax withholding and the Participant is obligated to pay the Company the amount required to be withheld, the Committee may allow the Participant to satisfy the minimum withholding tax obligation by electing to have the Company withhold from the Shares to be issued that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld, determined on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined (the “Tax Date”). All elections by a Participant to have Shares withheld for this purpose shall be made in writing in a form acceptable to the Committee and shall be subject to the following restrictions:

 

  (a) the election must be made on or prior to the applicable Tax Date;

 

  (b) once made, then except as provided below, the election shall be irrevocable as to the particular Shares as to which the election is made;

 

  (c) all elections shall be subject to the consent or disapproval of the Committee;

 

  (d) if the Participant is an Insider and if the Company is subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act: (1) the election may not be made within six (6) months of the date of grant of the Award, except as otherwise permitted by SEC Rule 16b-3(e) under the Exchange Act, and (2) either (A) the election to use stock withholding must be irrevocably made at least six (6) months prior to the Tax Date (although such election may be revoked at any time at least six (6) months prior to the Tax Date), or (B) the exercise of the Option or election to use stock withholding must be made in the ten (10) day period beginning on the third day following the release of the Company’s quarterly or annual summary statement of sales or earnings; and

 

- 9 -


  (e) in the event that the Tax Date is deferred under Section 83 of the Code, the Participant shall receive the full number of Shares with respect to which the exercise occurs, but such Participant shall be unconditionally obligated to tender back to the Company the proper number of Shares on the Tax Date.

10. Privileges of Stock Ownership. No Participant shall have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to any Shares until the Shares are issued to the Participant. After Shares are issued to the Participant, the Participant shall be a stockholder and have all the rights of a stockholder with respect to such Shares, including the right to vote and receive all dividends or other distributions made or paid with respect to such Shares; provided, however, that if such Shares are Restricted Stock, then any new, additional or different securities the Participant may become entitled to receive with respect to such Shares by virtue of a stock dividend, stock split or any other change in the corporate or capital structure of the Company shall be subject to the same restrictions as the Restricted Stock.

11. Transferability. Subject to Section 16.1, Awards granted under the Plan, and any interest therein, shall not be transferable or assignable by the Participant, and may not be made subject to execution, attachment or similar process, otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or as consistent with the specific Plan and Award Agreement provisions relating thereto. During the lifetime of the Participant an Award shall be exercisable only by the Participant, and any elections with respect to an Award, may be made only by the Participant.

12. Restrictions on Shares. At the discretion of the Committee, the Company may reserve to itself and/or its assignee(s) in the Award Agreement a right of first refusal to purchase all Shares that a Participant (or a subsequent transferee) may propose to transfer to a third party.

13. Certificates. All certificates for Shares or other securities delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such stock transfer orders, legends and other restrictions as the Committee may deem necessary or advisable, including restrictions under any applicable federal, state or foreign securities law, or any rules, regulations and other requirements of the SEC or any stock exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Shares may be listed.

14. Escrow; Pledge of Shares. To enforce any restrictions on a Participant’s Shares, the Committee may require the Participant to deposit all certificates representing Shares, together with stock powers or other instruments of transfer approved by the Committee, appropriately endorsed in blank, with the Company or an agent designated by the Company to hold in escrow until such restrictions have lapsed or terminated, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends referencing such restrictions to be placed on the certificates. In connection with any pledge of the Shares, Participant shall be required to execute and deliver a written pledge agreement in such form as the Committee shall from time to time approve.

15. Exchange and Buyout of Awards. The Committee may, at any time or from time to time, authorize the Company, with the consent of the respective Participants, to issue new Awards in exchange for the surrender and cancellation of any or all outstanding Awards. The Committee may at any time buy from a Participant an Award previously granted with payment in cash, Shares (including Restricted Stock) or other consideration, based on such terms and conditions as the Committee and the Participant shall agree.

 

- 10 -


16. Securities Law and Other Regulatory Compliance. An Award shall not be effective unless such Award is in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws, rules and regulations of any governmental body, and the requirements of any stock exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Shares may then be listed, as they are in effect on the date of grant of the Award and also on the date of exercise or other issuance. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan, the Company shall have no obligation to issue or deliver certificates for Shares under the Plan prior to (a) obtaining any approvals from governmental agencies that the Company determines are necessary or advisable, and/or (b) completion of any registration or other qualification of such shares under any state or federal law or ruling of any governmental body that the Company determines to be necessary or advisable. The Company shall be under no obligation to register the Shares with the SEC or to effect compliance with the registration, qualification or listing requirements of any state securities laws, stock exchange or automated quotation system, and the Company shall have no liability for any inability or failure to do so.

16.1 Option Compliance with the Exemption Provided by Rule 12h-1(f). Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan or any Award Agreement, if, at the end of the Company’s most recently completed fiscal year, (a) the aggregate of the number of Option Holders (plus the number of other holders of all other outstanding compensatory stock options to purchase Shares) by whom Options (or other compensatory stock options to purchase Shares) are “held of record” (as such term is used in Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act (e.g., not including securities held by persons who received the securities pursuant to an employee compensation plan in transactions exempted from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act)), equals or exceeds either (i) two thousand (2,000) persons or (ii) five hundred (500) persons who are not “accredited investors” (as such term is defined by the SEC), and (b) the Company’s “total assets” as defined by Rule 12g5-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act exceed $10 million, then the following restrictions shall apply to Option Holders during any period during which the Company does not have a class of its securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act and is not required to file reports pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (i.e., when the Company is “relying on the exemption provided by Rule 12h-1(f)”): (A) the Options and, prior to exercise, the Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Options may not be transferred until the Company is no longer relying on the exemption provided by Rule 12h-1(f), except: (1) to a “family member” of the Option Holder (as defined in Rule 701(c)(3) promulgated under the Securities Act) through gifts or domestic relations orders, (2) to a guardian upon the disability of the Option Holder, or (3) to an executor upon the death of the Option Holder (collectively, the “Permitted Option Transferees”); provided, however, that the following transfers are permitted: (x) transfers by the Option Holder to the Company, and (y) transfers in connection with a change of control or other acquisition transaction involving the Company, if after such transaction the Options no longer remain outstanding and the Company is no longer relying on the exemption provided by Rule 12h-1(f); and provided further, that any Permitted Option Transferees may not further transfer the Options; (B) except as otherwise provided in (A) above, the Options and Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Options are restricted as to any pledge, hypothecation, or other transfer, including any short position, any “put equivalent position” as defined by Rule 16a-1(h) promulgated under the Exchange Act, or

 

- 11 -


any “call equivalent position” as defined by Rule 16a-1(b) promulgated under the Exchange Act by the Option Holder prior to exercise of an Option until the Company is no longer relying on the exemption provided by Rule 12h-1(f); and (C) at any time that the Company is relying on the exemption provided by Rule 12h-1(f), the Company shall deliver to Option Holders (whether by physical or electronic delivery or by written notice of the availability of the information on an internet site (and of any password needed to access the information if the internet site is password-protected)) the information required by Rules 701(e)(3), (4), and (5) promulgated under the Securities Act, every six (6) months, including financial statements that are not more than one hundred eighty (180) days old; provided, however, that the Company may condition the delivery of such information upon the Option Holder’s agreement to maintain the confidentiality of such information.

17. No Obligation to Employ. Nothing in the Plan or any Award granted under the Plan shall confer or be deemed to confer on any Participant any right to continue in the employ of, or to continue any other relationship with, the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company to terminate Participant’s employment or other relationship at any time, with or without cause.

18. Corporate Transactions.

18.1 Assumption or Replacement of Awards by Successor. In the event of (a) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving corporation (other than a merger or consolidation with a wholly-owned subsidiary, a reincorporation of the Company in a different jurisdiction, or other transaction in which there is no substantial change in the stockholders of the Company and the Awards granted under the Plan are assumed or replaced by the successor corporation, which assumption shall be binding on all Participants); (b) a dissolution or liquidation of the Company; (c) the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company; or (d) any other transaction which qualifies as a “corporate transaction” under Section 424(a) of the Code wherein the stockholders of the Company give up all of their equity interest in the Company, any or all outstanding Awards may be assumed or replaced by the successor corporation (if any), which assumption or replacement shall be binding on all Participants. In the alternative, the successor corporation may substitute equivalent Awards or provide substantially similar consideration to Participants as was provided to stockholders (after taking into account the existing provisions of the Awards). The successor corporation may also issue, in place of outstanding Shares of the Company held by the Participant, substantially similar shares or other property subject to repurchase restrictions no less favorable to the Participant.

In the event such successor corporation (if any) refuses to assume or replace any outstanding Awards, as provided above, pursuant to a transaction described in this Subsection 18.1, such Awards (whether or not vested and/or exercisable, but after giving effect to any accelerated vesting required in the circumstances pursuant to the following provisions of this Section 18.1) shall terminate upon the occurrence of such transaction, provided that the holder of such Award shall be given reasonable advance notice of the impending termination and a reasonable opportunity to exercise his or her outstanding and vested Options in accordance with their terms before the termination of the Awards (except that in no case shall more than ten days’ notice of the impending termination be required). With respect to any Award granted to any

 

- 12 -


person who was employed with or providing services to the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company at any time on or before February 23, 2010, to the extent such Award is then outstanding and unvested, such Award shall automatically become fully vested and, in the case of Options, exercisable upon (or, as may be necessary to effectuate the purposes of this acceleration, immediately prior to) such a transaction (with the holder of such Award receiving notice and opportunity to exercise such vested Options as provided in the preceding sentence). With respect to any Award granted to any person who commences employment with or providing services to the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company at any time after February 23, 2010, such Award shall not automatically become vested in connection with such a transaction, provided that the Board may, in its sole discretion, provide in the applicable Award Agreement or by an amendment thereto for the accelerated vesting of one or more such Awards to the extent such Awards are outstanding upon such a transaction or such other events or circumstances as the Board may provide. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, if an Award recipient is a party to an employment or other agreement with the Company or one of its Affiliates that contains express provisions regarding the acceleration of vesting of equity awards (in connection with a termination of employment, change in control of the Company or otherwise) and would provide greater benefits to such recipient in the circumstances than those provided in this Section 18.1, the provisions of such employment or other agreement shall control as to Awards held by such recipient.

18.2 Assumption of Awards by the Company. The Company, from time to time, also may substitute or assume outstanding awards granted by another company, whether in connection with an acquisition of such other company or otherwise, by either (a) granting an Award under the Plan in substitution of such other company’s award; or (b) assuming such award as if it had been granted under the Plan if the terms of such assumed award could be applied to an Award granted under the Plan. Such substitution or assumption shall be permissible if the holder of the substituted or assumed award would have been eligible to be granted an Award under the Plan if the other company had applied the rules of the Plan to such grant. In the event the Company assumes an award granted by another company, the terms and conditions of such award shall remain unchanged (except that the exercise price and the number and nature of Shares issuable upon exercise of any such option will be adjusted appropriately pursuant to Section 424(a) of the Code). In the event the Company elects to grant a new Option rather than assuming an existing option, such new Option may be granted with a similarly adjusted Exercise Price.

19. Adoption and Stockholder Approval. The Plan became effective on the date that it was originally adopted by the Board (the “Effective Date”). The Plan was originally approved by the stockholders of the Company, consistent with applicable laws, within twelve months before or after the Effective Date. Upon the Effective Date, the Board may grant Awards pursuant to the Plan; provided, however, that: (a) no Option may be exercised prior to initial stockholder approval of the Plan; (b) no Option granted pursuant to an increase in the number of Shares approved by the Board shall be exercised prior to the time such increase has been approved by the stockholders of the Company; and (c) in the event that stockholder approval is not obtained within the time period provided herein, all Awards granted hereunder shall be cancelled, any Shares issued pursuant to any Award shall be cancelled and any purchase of Shares hereunder shall be rescinded. After the Company becomes subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 16b-3 (or its successor), as amended, with respect to stockholder approval.

 

- 13 -


20. Term of Plan/Governing Law. The Plan will terminate ten (10) years from the Effective Date or, if earlier, the date of stockholder approval of the Plan. The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

21. Amendment or Termination of Plan. The Board may at any time terminate or amend the Plan in any respect, including without limitation amendment of any form of Award Agreement or instrument to be executed pursuant to the Plan; provided, however, that the Board shall not, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company, amend the Plan in any manner that requires such stockholder approval pursuant to the Code or the regulations promulgated thereunder as such provisions apply to ISO plans or pursuant to the Exchange Act or Rule 16b-3 (or its successor), as amended, thereunder. Any amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall not affect Awards already granted, and such Awards shall remain in full force and effect as if the Plan had not been amended, suspended or terminated, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Participant and the Company, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Participant and the Company.

22. Nonexclusivity of the Plan. Neither the adoption of the Plan by the Board, the submission of the Plan to the stockholders of the Company for approval, nor any provision of the Plan shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board to adopt such additional compensation arrangements as it may deem desirable, including, without limitation, the granting of stock options and bonuses otherwise than under the Plan, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

23. Definitions. As used in the Plan, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

Five9 maintains an employee bonus incentive plan as part of the company’s compensation strategy to attract and retain top level talent.

Participation

Eligibility for Employees to participate in the bonus plan is requested by their manager. Final approval from the CEO is required for an employee to be eligible to participate in the bonus plan.

Eligibility for Executives to participate in the bonus plan is approved by the Board of Directors (Board) Compensation Committee.

3. Eligibility for Benefits.

(a) Eligibility; Exceptions to Benefits. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Company will provide the benefits described in Section 4 to the affected Participant. A Participant will not receive benefits under the Plan (or will receive reduced benefits under the Plan) in the following circumstances, as determined by the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion:

(i) The Participant’s employment is terminated by either the Company or the Participant for any reason other than a Qualifying Termination.

(ii) The Participant has not entered into the Company’s standard form of Proprietary Information and Inventions Assignment Agreement (the “Proprietary Information Agreement”).

(iii) The Participant has failed to execute and allow to become effective the Release (as defined and described below) within sixty (60) days following the Participant’s Separation from Service.

(iv) The Participant has failed to return all Company Property. For this purpose, “Company Property” means all paper and electronic Company documents (and all copies thereof) created and/or received by the Participant during his or her period of employment with the Company and other Company materials and property that the Participant has in his or her possession or control, including, without limitation, Company files, notes, drawings records, plans, forecasts, reports, studies, analyses, proposals, agreements, financial information, research and development information, sales and marketing information, operational and personnel information, specifications, code, software, databases, computer-recorded information, tangible property and equipment (including, without limitation, leased vehicles, computers, computer equipment, software programs, facsimile machines, mobile telephones, servers), credit and calling cards, entry cards, identification badges and keys, and any materials of any kind that contain or embody any proprietary or confidential information of the Company (and all reproductions thereof, in whole or in part). As a condition to receiving benefits under the Plan, a Participant must not make or retain copies, reproductions or summaries of any such Company documents, materials or property. However, a Participant is not required to return his or her personal copies of documents evidencing the Participant’s hire, termination, compensation, benefits and stock options and any other documentation received as a stockholder of the Company.

(b) Relation to Other Agreements and/or Plans. This Plan, including the Participant’s signed Participation Notice, sets forth his or her entire rights to receive severance on a Qualifying Termination. By accepting participation in this Plan, the Participant irrevocably waives his or her rights to any severance benefits (including vesting acceleration) to which the Participant may be entitled pursuant to any offer letter, employment agreement, severance agreement, equity award agreement or any other similar agreement with the Company, or any other Company benefit plan, that is in effect on the date he or she signs the Participation Notice, other than any acceleration of vesting benefits on a change in control transaction as provided under the Company’s equity incentive plans.

 

- 3 -


(c) Termination of Benefits. A Participant’s right to receive benefits under the Plan will terminate immediately if, at any time prior to or during the period for which the Participant is receiving benefits under the Plan, the Participant, without the prior written approval of the Plan Administrator:

(i) willfully breaches a material provision of the Proprietary Information Agreement and/or any obligations of confidentiality, non-solicitation, non-disparagement, no conflicts or non-competition set forth in the Participant’s employment agreement, offer letter or under applicable law;

(ii) solicits any of the Company’s then current employees to leave the Company’s employ for any reason or interferes in any other manner with employment relationships at the time existing between the Company and its then current employees; or

(iii) induces any of the Company’s then current clients, customers, suppliers, vendors, distributors, licensors, licensees, or other third party to terminate their existing business relationship with the Company or interferes in any other adverse manner with any existing business relationship between the Company and any then current client, customer, supplier, vendor, distributor, licensor, licensee, or other third party.

4. Payments and Benefits. Except as may otherwise be provided in the Participant’s Participation Notice, in the event of a Qualifying Termination, the Company will provide the payments and benefits described in this Section 4, subject to the terms of the Plan.

(a) Cash Severance. The Company will make a lump sum payment of “Cash Severance” to the Participant in an amount equal to his or her Base Salary for the Participant’s Severance Period, plus, in the case of a Change in Control Termination, an additional amount equal to his or her Bonus for the Severance Period, in each case, determined by the chart below.

(b) Health Insurance Premiums. If the Participant timely elects continued coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (together with any state law of similar effect, “COBRA”), the Company will pay the full amount of the Participant’s COBRA premiums, or will provide coverage under the Company’s self-funded broad based health insurance plans, on behalf of the Participant, including coverage for the Participant’s eligible dependents, until the earliest of (i) the end of the number of months in the Participant’s Severance Period, (ii) the expiration of the Participant’s eligibility for the continuation coverage under COBRA, or (iii) the date when the Participant becomes eligible for substantially equivalent health insurance coverage in connection with new employment or self-employment (such period from the date of the Qualifying Termination through the earliest of (i) through (iii), the “COBRA Payment Period”). However, if at any time the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that the payment of the COBRA premiums would result in a violation of the nondiscrimination rules of Section 105(h)(2) of the Code or any statute or regulation of similar effect (including, without limitation, the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the 2010 Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act), then in lieu of providing the COBRA premiums or credit under the self-funded plan, the Company will instead pay the Participant, on the first day of each month of the remainder of the COBRA Payment Period, a fully taxable cash payment equal to the COBRA premiums for that month (or, in the case of a self-funded plan, the monthly cost of such coverage), subject to tax withholdings and deductions. On the sixtieth (60) day following the Participant’s Separation from Service, the Company will make the first payment under this paragraph equal to the aggregate amount of payments that the Company would have paid through such date had such payments commenced on the Separation from Service through such sixtieth (60) day, with the balance of the payments paid thereafter on the original schedule. In all cases, if the Participant becomes eligible for coverage under another employer’s group health plan or otherwise ceases to be eligible for COBRA during the COBRA Payment Period, the Participant must immediately notify the Company of such event. For purposes of this paragraph, any applicable insurance premiums that are paid by the Company will not include any amounts payable by the Participant under a Section 125 health care reimbursement plan, which amounts, if any, are the sole responsibility of the Participant.

(c) Double Trigger Vesting. In the event of a Qualifying Termination that is a Change in Control Termination, each of the Participant’s then outstanding and unvested compensatory equity awards will become fully (100%) vested, and, as applicable, become exercisable, effective as of immediately prior to the Qualifying Termination.

5. Additional Requirements.

(a) Release. To be eligible to receive any benefits under the Plan, a Participant must sign a general waiver and release, in substantially one of the forms attached hereto as Exhibit B, Exhibit C, or Exhibit D, as appropriate (the “Release”), and such Release must become effective in accordance with its terms, in each case within sixty (60) days following the Qualifying Termination (the “Release Date”). The Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, may modify the form of the required Release to comply with applicable law, and any such Release may be incorporated into a termination agreement or other agreement with the Participant.

 

- 5 -


(b) Certain Reductions. The Plan Administrator will reduce a Participant’s benefits under the Plan by any other statutory severance obligations or severance obligations (including pay in lieu of notice) payable to the Participant by the Company (or any successor thereto) that are due in connection with the Participant’s Qualifying Termination and that are in the same form as the benefits provided under the Plan (e.g., salary or bonus replacement, health insurance coverage, equity award vesting credit). Without limitation, this reduction includes a reduction for any benefits required pursuant to (i) any applicable legal requirement, including, without limitation, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (the “WARN Act”), (ii) any Company policy or practice providing for the Participant to remain on the payroll for a limited period of time after being given notice of the termination of the Participant’s employment, and (iii) any required salary continuation, notice pay, statutory severance payment or other payments required by local law, as a result of the Qualifying Termination. The benefits provided under the Plan are intended to satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, and not to provide benefits duplicative of, any and all statutory and contractual obligations of the Company in respect of the form of benefits provided under the Plan that may arise out of a Qualifying Termination, and the Plan Administrator will so construe and implement the terms of the Plan. Reductions will be applied on a retroactive basis, with benefits previously provided being recharacterized as benefits pursuant to the Company’s statutory or other contractual obligations. The payments pursuant to the Plan are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any accrued but unpaid salary, bonuses or employee welfare benefits to which a Participant is entitled for the period ending with the Participant’s Qualifying Termination.

(c) Mitigation. Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, a Participant will not be required to mitigate damages or the amount of any payment provided under the Plan by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor will the amount of any payment provided for under the Plan be reduced by any compensation earned by a Participant as a result of employment by another employer or any retirement benefits received by such Participant after the date of the Participant’s termination of employment with the Company.

(d) Indebtedness of Participants. If a Participant is indebted to the Company on the effective date of his or her Qualifying Termination, the Company reserves the right to offset the payment of any benefits under the Plan by the amount of such indebtedness. Such offset will be made in accordance with all applicable laws. The Participant’s execution of the Participation Notice constitutes knowing written consent to the foregoing.

(e) Parachute Payments. Except as otherwise expressly provided in an agreement between a Participant and the Company, if any payment or benefit the Participant would receive in connection with a Change in Control from the Company or otherwise (a “Payment”) would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then such Payment will be equal to the Reduced Amount. The “Reduced Amount” will be either (A) the largest portion of the Payment that would result in no portion of the Payment being subject to the Excise Tax, or (B) the largest portion, up to and including the total, of the Payment, whichever amount ((A) or (B)), after taking into account all applicable federal, state, provincial, foreign and local employment taxes, income taxes and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate), results in the Participant’s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greatest economic benefit notwithstanding that all or some portion of the

 

- 6 -


Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax. If a reduction in payments or benefits constituting “parachute payments” is necessary so that the Payment equals the Reduced Amount, reduction will occur in the following order: (1) reduction of cash payments; (2) cancellation of accelerated vesting of stock awards other than stock options; (3) cancellation of accelerated vesting of stock options; and (4) reduction of other benefits paid to the Participant. Within any such category of Payments (that is, (1), (2), (3) or (4)), a reduction will occur first with respect to amounts that are not “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A and then with respect to amounts that are. In the event that acceleration of vesting of stock award compensation is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting will be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant of the Participant’s applicable type of stock award (i.e., earliest granted stock awards are cancelled last).

6. Tax Matters.

(a) Application of Section 409A. It is intended that all of the benefits provided under the Plan satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the exemptions from the application of Section 409A provided under Treasury Regulations Sections 1.409A-1 (b)(4), 1.409A-1 (b)(5) and 1.409A-1 (b)(9), and the Plan will be construed to the greatest extent possible as consistent with those provisions. To the extent not so exempt, the Plan (and any definitions in the Plan) will be construed in a manner that complies with Section 409A and incorporates by reference all required definitions and payment terms. For purposes of Section 409A (including, without limitation, for purposes of Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii)), a Participant’s right to receive any installment payments under the Plan will be treated as a right to receive a series of separate payments and, accordingly, each installment payment under the Plan will at all times be considered a separate and distinct payment. If the Plan Administrator determines that any of the payments upon a Separation from Service provided under the Plan (or under any other arrangement with the Participant) constitutes “deferred compensation” under Section 409A and if the Participant is a “specified employee” of the Company, as such term is defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), at the time of his or her Separation from Service, then, solely to the extent necessary to avoid the incurrence of the adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A, the timing of the payments upon a Separation from Service will be delayed as follows: on the earlier to occur of (i) the date that is six (6) months and one (1) day after the effective date of the Participant’s Separation from Service, or (ii) the date of the Participant’s death (such earlier date, the “Delayed Initial Payment Date”), the Company will (A) pay to the Participant a lump sum amount equal to the sum of the payments upon Separation from Service that the Participant would otherwise have received through the Delayed Initial Payment Date if the commencement of the payments had not been delayed pursuant to this paragraph, and (B) commence paying the balance of the payments in accordance with the applicable payment schedules set forth above. No interest will be due on any amounts so deferred.

(b) Withholding. All payments and benefits under the Plan will be subject to all applicable deductions and withholdings, including, without limitation, obligations to withhold for federal, state, provincial, foreign and local income and employment taxes.

(c) Tax Advice. By becoming a Participant in the Plan, the Participant agrees to review with the Participant’s own tax advisors the federal, state, provincial, local and foreign tax consequences of participation in the Plan. The Participant will rely solely on such advisors and

 

- 7 -


not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. The Participant understands that the Participant (and not the Company) will be responsible for his or her own tax liability that may arise as a result of becoming a Participant in the Plan.

7. Reemployment. In the event of a Participant’s reemployment by the Company during the period of time in respect of which severance benefits have been provided, the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, may require such Participant to repay to the Company all or a portion of such severance benefits as a condition of reemployment.

8. Clawback; Recovery. All payments and severance benefits provided under the Plan will be subject to recoupment in accordance with any clawback policy that the Company is required to adopt pursuant to the listing standards of any national securities exchange or association on which the Company’s securities are listed or as is otherwise required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or other applicable law. No recovery of compensation under such a clawback policy will be an event giving rise to a right to resign for “good reason,” Constructive Termination or any similar term under any plan of or agreement with the Company.

9. Right to Interpret Plan; Amendment or Termination.

(a) Exclusive Discretion. The Plan Administrator will have the exclusive discretion and authority to establish rules, forms and procedures for the administration of the Plan and to construe and interpret the Plan and to decide any and all questions of fact, interpretation, definition, computation or administration arising in connection with the operation of the Plan, including, without limitation, the eligibility to participate in the Plan, the amount of benefits paid under the Plan and any adjustments that need to be made in accordance with the laws applicable to a Participant. The rules, interpretations, computations and other actions of the Plan Administrator will be binding and conclusive on all persons.

(b) Amendment or Termination. The Company reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan, any Participation Notice issued pursuant to the Plan or the benefits provided hereunder at any time; provided, however, that no such amendment or termination will apply to any Participant who would be adversely affected by such amendment or termination unless such Participant consents in writing to such amendment or termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Plan shall terminate on the fifth anniversary of the IPO Date. Any action amending or terminating the Plan or any Participation Notice will be in writing and executed by a duly authorized officer of the Company.

10. No Implied Employment Contract. The Plan will not be deemed (a) to give any employee or other person any right to be retained in the employ of the Company, or (b) to interfere with the right of the Company to discharge any employee or other person at any time, with or without cause, which right is hereby reserved.

11. Legal Construction. The Plan will be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of California (without regard to principles of conflict of laws), except to the extent preempted by ERISA.

- 11 -


Receive Information About Your Plan and Benefits

(a) Examine, without charge, at the Plan Administrator’s office and at other specified locations, such as worksites, all documents governing the Plan and a copy of the latest annual report (Form 5500 Series), if applicable, filed by the Plan with the U.S. Department of Labor and available at the Public Disclosure Room of the Employee Benefits Security Administration;

(b) Obtain, upon written request to the Plan Administrator, copies of documents governing the operation of the Plan and copies of the latest annual report (Form 5500 Series), if applicable, and an updated (as necessary) Summary Plan Description. The Plan Administrator may make a reasonable charge for the copies; and

(c) Receive a summary of the Plan’s annual financial report, if applicable. The Plan Administrator is required by law to furnish each participant with a copy of this summary annual report.

Prudent Actions by Plan Fiduciaries

In addition to creating rights for Plan participants, ERISA imposes duties upon the people who are responsible for the operation of the employee benefit plan. The people who operate the Plan, called “fiduciaries” of the Plan, have a duty to do so prudently and in the interest of you and other Plan participants and beneficiaries. No one, including your employer or any other person, may fire you or otherwise discriminate against you in any way to prevent you from obtaining a Plan benefit or exercising your rights under ERISA.

Enforce Your Rights

If your claim for a Plan benefit is denied or ignored, in whole or in part, you have a right to know why this was done, to obtain copies of documents relating to the decision without charge and to appeal any denial, all within certain time schedules.

Under ERISA, there are steps you can take to enforce the above rights. For instance, if you request a copy of Plan documents or the latest annual report from the Plan, if applicable, and do not receive them within thirty (30) days, you may file suit in a federal court. In such a case, the court may require the Plan Administrator to provide the materials and pay you up to $110 a day until you receive the materials, unless the materials were not sent because of reasons beyond the control of the Plan Administrator.

If you have a claim for benefits that is denied or ignored, in whole or in part, you may file suit in a state or federal court.

If you are discriminated against for asserting your rights, you may seek assistance from the U.S. Department of Labor, or you may file suit in a federal court. The court will decide who should pay court costs and legal fees. If you are successful, the court may order the person you have sued to pay these costs and fees. If you lose, the court may order you to pay these costs and fees, for example, if it finds your claim is frivolous.

BUILDING LEASE

This Lease is made and entered into this 16th day of December, 2011, by and between Alexander Properties Company, a California limited partnership, (hereinafter “Landlord”) and five9, Inc., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter “Tenant”). For and in consideration of the rental and of the covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth to be kept and performed by Tenant, Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord the premises herein described for the term, at the rental and subject to and upon all of the terms, covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth.

1. PREMISES

Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord the premises (the “Premises”) crosshatched on Exhibit A containing 46,414 rentable square feet known as Suite 400, located on the fourth floor of 4000 Executive Parkway, Building P (including all tenant improvements thereto, the “Building”), located at San Ramon, California 94583. The Building is part of a Complex containing the Building and two (2) other buildings (the “Complex”). The Complex, which contains 631,578 rentable square feet, the land on which the Complex is situated (the “Land”), the common areas of the Complex, any other improvements in the Complex and the personal property used by Landlord in the operation of the Complex (the “Personal Property”) are herein collectively called the “Project.” Landlord shall pay the cost of “Suite Improvements” (as such term is defined in the work letter attached hereto as Exhibit B, the “Work Letter”) and as shown on the attached Exhibit C.

2. TERM

2.1 Term. The term of this Lease shall commence on the “Commencement Date” hereinafter defined to be the earlier of the date Landlord delivers possession of the Premises to Tenant with all of the Suite Improvements Substantially Completed, as defined in Exhibit B, or the date Landlord would have completed the Premises and tendered the Premises to Tenant if Substantial Completion had not been delayed by the number of days specified in any and all Tenant Delay Notices given by Landlord as described in Exhibit B. The term of this Lease shall end on the date (the “Expiration Date”) that is the sixth (6th) year anniversary of the Commencement Date, unless sooner terminated pursuant to this Lease.

2.2 Delay in Commencement. The Commencement Date is scheduled to occur on March 1, 2012 (the “Scheduled Commencement Date”), but if there are “Scheduled Commencement Adjustment Days” (referred to in Paragraph 25.9 of this Lease and Exhibit B), then the Scheduled Commencement Date shall be that date which is the same number of days after March 1, 2012 as the sum of the Scheduled Commencement Adjustment Days. If for any reason the Commencement Date does not occur on or before the Scheduled Commencement Date, except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Landlord shall not be liable for any damage thereby nor shall such inability affect the validity of this Lease or the obligations of Tenant hereunder. If the Commencement Date has not occurred

within sixty (60) days after the Scheduled Commencement Date, Tenant at its option, to be exercised by giving Landlord written notice within thirty (30) days after the end of such sixty (60) day period, may terminate this Lease and, upon Landlord’s return of any monies previously deposited by Tenant, the parties shall have no further rights or liabilities toward each other.

2.3 Acknowledgment of Commencement Date. Upon determination of the Commencement Date, Landlord and Tenant shall execute a written acknowledgment of the Commencement Date and Expiration Date in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G.

3. RENT

3.1 Base Rent. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord monthly as base rent (“Base Rent”) for the Premises in advance on the Commencement Date and on the first day of each calendar month thereafter during the term of this Lease without deduction, offset, prior notice or demand, in lawful money of the United States of America, the sum of ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED SIXTY-THREE AND 67/100 DOLLARS ($100,563.67). For any prorations of Base Rent due to changes in the Premises on a day other than the first or last day of the month, the portion of Base Rent on a square foot basis associated with an increase or decrease in the size of the Premises shall be calculated by multiplying the number of days that the space was part of the Premises by the daily Base Rent defined to be the monthly Base Rent per square foot for said space divided by thirty (30). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Base Rent shall be abated for the initial twelve (12) full calendar months of the term of this Lease.

On or before the date that is three (3) business days after the date this Lease is fully executed by Landlord and Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the sum of ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED SIXTY-THREE AND 67/100 DOLLARS ($100,563.67) to be applied against Base Rent when it becomes due.

3.2 Adjustments to Base Rent. Intentionally Deleted

3.3 Amounts Constituting Rent. All amounts payable or reimbursable by Tenant under this Lease, including late charges and interest, “Operating Cost Payments” (as defined in Paragraph 5), and amounts payable or reimbursable under the Work Letter and the other Exhibits hereto, shall constitute “Rent” and be payable and recoverable as such. Base Rent is due and payable as provided in Paragraph 3.1—“Base Rent”, Operating Cost Payments are due and payable as provided in Paragraph 5.3—“Notice and Payment”, and all other Rent payable to Landlord on demand under the terms of this Lease, unless otherwise set forth herein, shall be payable within thirty (30) days after written notice from Landlord of the amounts due. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, all Rent shall be paid to Landlord without deduction or offset in lawful money of the United States of America at the address for notices or at such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing.

4. SECURITY DEPOSIT

Concurrently with Tenant’s execution of this Lease, Tenant shall pursuant to the terms and conditions of Paragraph 25.20, provide Landlord with a Letter of Credit in the amount of SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($700,000.00) as Security. At such time that Tenant is relieved of its obligation to post the Letter of Credit Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the sum of ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED SIXTY-THREE AND 67/100 DOLLARS ($100,563.67) as a Security Deposit (the “Security Deposit”). The Security Deposit shall be held by Landlord as security for the faithful performance by Tenant of all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be performed by Tenant during the term hereof. If Tenant defaults with respect to any provision of this Lease, including the provisions relating to the payment of any Rent, Landlord may (but shall not be required to) use, apply or retain all or any part of the Security Deposit to cure such default or to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of Tenant’s default. If any portion of said deposit is so used or applied, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount; Tenant’s failure to do so shall be a material breach of this Lease. Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its general funds, and Tenant shall not be entitled to interest on such deposit. If Tenant shall fully and faithfully perform every provision of this Lease to be performed by it, the Security Deposit or any balance thereof shall be returned to Tenant (or, at Landlord’s option, to the last assignee of Tenant’s interest hereunder) upon the expiration of the Lease term and Tenant’s vacating the Premises; provided, however, that Landlord may elect in its reasonable discretion to retain a portion of the Security Deposit in an amount composed of any or all of the following: (i) any unpaid amounts owed to Landlord pursuant to this Lease, (ii) the cost of any damage (excluding normal wear and tear or damage resulting from the approved installation of wall hangings by Landlord) to the Premises, (iii) the costs of removing any personal property refuse or debris left in the Premises at the expiration of the Lease, and (iv) any sums underpaid by Tenant with respect to Operating Costs for the calendar year in which the Lease ends under Paragraph 5 if Landlord determines there will be an increase in Operating Expenses for said calendar year. In the event of termination of Landlord’s interest in this Lease, Landlord shall transfer the Security Deposit to Landlord’s successor-in-interest and provided that such successor-in-interest agrees in writing to assume the obligations of Landlord under this Lease, Landlord shall be released from liability for the return of the Security Deposit or the accounting therefor. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code, and all other provisions of any Regulations, now or hereafter in force, which restricts the amount or types of claim that a landlord may make upon a security deposit or imposes upon a landlord (or its successors) any obligation with respect to the handling or return of security deposits.

In addition, Statement shall include an amount which Landlord estimates will be Tenant’s Operating Cost Payment for the current calendar year, and one-twelfth (1/12th) of the amount thereof shall be added to the monthly Base Rent payments required to be made by Tenant in such year. If the amounts Tenant has paid during the year towards the current year’s Operating Cost Payment is less than or exceeds the amount required using said one-twelfth (1/12th) addition to Base Rent starting with the first month of the calendar year covered by such statement, then within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Statement, Tenant shall pay in cash any sums owed Landlord or, if applicable, Tenant shall receive a credit against any rent next accruing for any sum owed Tenant.

This provision shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease provided that Landlord shall have no right to collect any deficiency in Tenant’s Operating Cost Payment more than three hundred sixty-five (365) days following the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

5.4 Additional Taxes. Tenant shall pay as a component of Operating Costs, Tenant’s Share of any and all taxes payable by Landlord, whether or not now customary or within the contemplation of the parties hereto (i) upon, allocable to or measured by the area of the Building, (ii) upon all or any portion of the Rent payable hereunder and under other leases of space in the Building, including any gross receipts tax or excise tax levied with respect to the receipt of such Rent, or (iii) upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use or occupancy of the Building or an portion thereof; provided that such taxes are applicable to the term of this Lease and not otherwise excluded from Operating Costs.

5.5 Tenant’s Right to Audit. The annual Statement of Operating Costs for the preceding year shall be provided by Landlord on or before April 30th of each calendar year after the Base Year of the Lease term. Within ninety (90) days after receipt of the Statement, Tenant shall be entitled, upon ten (10) days prior written notice (“Inspection Notice”) and during normal business hours, at Landlord’s office or such other place as Landlord shall reasonably designate, to inspect and examine those books and records of Landlord relating to the determination of Operating Costs for only the immediately preceding calendar year. Any third party engaged by Tenant to inspect or examine the books and records shall be a certified public accountant from a nationally or regionally recognized accounting firm and such accountant shall not be compensated on a contingency fee or similar basis. Should Tenant elect to inspect such records, Tenant’s inspection shall be completed and the results thereof submitted to Landlord no later than two (2) months after Tenant’s notification to Landlord of its intent to inspect Landlord’s books and records. Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its right to inspect Landlord’s books and records if Tenant fails to timely deliver the Inspection Notice, or fails to timely complete the inspection (unless Landlord was the cause of the delay). If, after inspection and examination of such books and records, Tenant disputes the amounts of Operating Costs charged by Landlord, Tenant may, by written notice to Landlord, request an independent audit of such books and records. The independent audit of the books and records shall be conducted by a certified public accountant (“CPA”) acceptable to both Landlord and Tenant. If, within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice requesting an audit, Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree on the CPA to conduct such audit, then Landlord may designate a nationally recognized accounting firm not then employed by Landlord or Tenant to conduct such audit. The audit shall be limited to the determination of the amount of Operating Costs for the subject calendar year. If the audit discloses that the amount of Operating Costs billed to Tenant was incorrect, the appropriate party shall pay to the other party the deficiency or overpayment, as applicable. All costs and expenses of the audit shall be paid by Tenant unless the audit shows that Landlord overstated Operating Costs for the subject calendar year by more than five percent (5%), in which case Landlord shall pay all costs and expenses of the audit (not to exceed $10,000.00). Tenant and Tenant’s representatives shall keep any information gained from such audit confidential and shall not disclose it to any other party. The exercise by Tenant of its audit rights hereunder shall not relieve Tenant of its obligation to timely pay all sums due hereunder, including, without limitation, the disputed Operating Costs.

Except in the event of Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, Landlord shall not be liable for injury or damage which may be sustained by the person or property of Tenant, its employees, invitees or customers, or any other person in or about the Premises caused by or resulting from fire, steam, electricity, gas, water or rain, which may leak or flow from or into any part of the Premises, or from the breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects of the pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, air conditioning, telephone cabling or wiring, or lighting fixtures of the same, whether the damage or injury results from conditions arising upon the Premises or upon other portions of the Building of which the Premises are a part, or from other sources. Landlord shall not be liable for any damages arising from any act or neglect of any other tenant of the Building, nor shall Landlord be liable for consequential damages however occurring.

12. INSURANCE

12.1 Coverage. Tenant shall, at all times during the term of this Lease, and at its own cost and expense, procure and continue in force the following insurance coverage:

(a) Commercial General Liability Insurance with a combined single limit for personal or bodily injury and property damage of not less than $3,000,000 or such other level of coverage that Landlord may require in its reasonable judgment.

(b) Fire and Extended Coverage Insurance, including vandalism and malicious mischief coverage, covering and in an amount equal to the full replacement value of all fixtures, furniture and improvements installed in the Premises by or at the expense of Tenant.

12.2 Insurance Policies. The aforementioned minimum limits of policies shall in no event limit the liability of Tenant hereunder. The aforesaid insurance shall name Landlord and its partners, property manager, and mortgagees as an additional insured. Said insurance shall be with companies having a rating of not less than A-, XI in “Best’s Insurance Guide”. Tenant shall furnish from the insurance companies or cause the insurance companies to furnish certificates of coverage. No such policy shall be cancelable or subject to reduction of coverage or other modification or cancellation except after thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord by the insurer. All such policies shall be written as primary policies, not contributing with and not in excess of the coverage which Landlord may carry. Tenant shall, at least twenty (20) days prior to the expiration of such policies, furnish Landlord with evidence of renewals or binders. Tenant agrees that if Tenant does not take out and maintain such insurance, Landlord may (but shall not be required to) procure said insurance on Tenant’s behalf and charge Tenant the premiums together with a reasonable handling charge and Default Interest from the date paid by Landlord, payable upon demand. Tenant shall have the right to provide such insurance coverage pursuant to blanket policies obtained by Tenant, provided such blanket policies expressly afford coverage to the Premises and to Tenant as required by this Lease.

12.3 Landlord’s Insurance. During the term of this Lease Landlord shall maintain in effect insurance on the Building against fire, extended coverage perils and vandalism and malicious mischief (to the extent such coverages are available), with responsible insurers licensed to do business in California, insuring the Building in an amount equal to at least ninety-five percent (95%) of the replacement cost thereof, excluding foundations, footings and underground installations. Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, carry additional commercially reasonable insurance against additional perils and/or in greater amounts.

12.4 Waiver of Subrogation. Tenant and Landlord hereby waive and release any and all right of recovery, whether arising in contract or tort, against the other, including employees and agents, arising during the term of this Lease for any and all loss or damage to any property located within or constituting a part of the Building or Complex, which loss or damage arises from the perils that could be insured against under the ISO Causes of Loss-Special Form Coverage including any deductible thereunder (whether or not the party suffering the loss or damage actually carries such insurance, recovers under such insurance or self insures the loss or damage) or which right of recovery arises from loss of earnings or rents resulting from loss or damage caused by such a peril. This mutual waiver is in addition to any other waiver or release contained in this Lease. Landlord and Tenant shall each have their insurance policies issued in such form as to waive any right of subrogation which might otherwise exist.

13. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION.

13.1 Landlord’s Duty to Repair. If all or a substantial part of the Premises are rendered untenantable or inaccessible by damage to all or any part of the Project from fire or other casualty then, unless either party elects to terminate this Lease pursuant to Paragraphs 13.2 or 13.3, Landlord shall, at its expense, use its commercially reasonable efforts to repair and restore the Premises and/or access thereto, as the case may be, to substantially their former condition to the extent permitted by the then applicable codes, laws and regulations; provided, however, that Tenant rather than Landlord shall be obligated at Tenant’s expense to repair or replace Tenant’s personal property, trade fixtures and any items or improvements that are required to be covered by Tenant’s insurance under Paragraph 12.1(b).

If Landlord is required or elects to repair damage to the Premises and/or access thereto, this Lease shall continue in effect but Tenant’s Base Rent and Operating Cost Payments from the date of the casualty through the date of substantial completion of the repair shall be abated by a proportionate amount based on the portion of the Premises that Tenant is prevented from using by reason of such damage or its repair; provided, however, that if the casualty is the result of the willful misconduct or negligence of Tenant or Tenant’s Representatives, there will be no such rental abatement. In no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant by reason of any injury to or interference with Tenant’s business or property arising from fire or other casualty or by reason of any repairs to any part of the Project made necessary by such casualty.

13.2 Landlord’s Right to Terminate. In the event of a casualty to the Project, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease, effective as of the last day of the calendar month in which such election is made, under the following circumstances:

(a) Where, in the reasonable judgment of Landlord, the damage cannot be substantially repaired and restored under applicable laws and governmental regulations within one (1) year after the date of the casualty;

(b) Where, in the reasonable judgment of Landlord, adequate proceeds are not, for any reason, made available to Landlord from Landlord’s insurance policies to make the required repairs;

(c) Where the Project is damaged or destroyed to the extent that the cost to repair and restore the Project exceeds twenty-five percent (25%) of the full replacement cost of the Project, whether or not the Premises are damaged or destroyed; or

(d) Where the damage occurs within the last twelve (12) months of the term of the Lease.

If any of the circumstances described in this Paragraph 13.2 arise, Landlord must notify Tenant in writing of that fact within ninety (90) days of the date of the casualty and in such notice Landlord must also advise Tenant whether Landlord has elected to terminate the Lease.

13.3 Tenant’s Right to Terminate. Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease if all or a substantial part of the Premises are rendered untenantable or inaccessible by damage to all or any part of the Project from fire or other casualty, provided that such casualty is not the result of the willful misconduct or negligence of Tenant or Tenant’s Representatives, but only under the following circumstances:

(a) Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease if Landlord had the right under Paragraph 13.2 to terminate this Lease but did not elect to so terminate and Landlord failed to commence the required repair within ninety (90) days after the date it received proceeds to commence such repair. In such event, Tenant may terminate this Lease as of the date of the casualty by notice to Landlord given before the earlier of the date on which Landlord commences such repair or ten (10) days after the expiration of such ninety (90)-day period; or

(b) Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease in the circumstance described in Subparagraph 13.2(a). In such event, Tenant may terminate this Lease as of the date of the casualty by notice to Landlord given within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s notice to Tenant pursuant to Paragraph 13.2.

13.4 Exclusive Rights. Landlord and Tenant each hereby agree that, notwithstanding any law to the contrary that may now or hereafter exist, neither party shall have any right to terminate this Lease in the event of any damage or destruction under any circumstances other than as provided in Paragraphs 13.2 and 13.3.

14. CONDEMNATION

If all or a material portion of the Premises shall be taken or appropriated for public or quasi-public use by right of eminent domain with or without litigation or transferred by agreement in connection with such public or quasi-public use, either party hereto shall have the right at its option, exercisable within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice of such taking, to terminate this Lease as of the date possession is taken by the condemning authority, provided, however, that before Tenant may terminate this Lease by reason of taking or appropriation as provided hereinabove, such taking or appropriation shall be of such an extent and nature as to substantially handicap, impede or impair Tenant’s use of the Premises. If any part of the Building other than the Premises shall be so taken or appropriated, Landlord shall have the right at its option to terminate this Lease. No award for any partial or entire taking shall be apportioned, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord any award which may be made in such taking or condemnation, together with any and all rights of Tenant now or hereafter arising in or to the same or any part thereof; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to give Landlord any interest in or to require Tenant to assign to Landlord any award made to Tenant for the taking of personal property and fixtures belonging to Tenant and/or for Tenant’s unamortized cost of leasehold improvements, so long as such award to Tenant does not decrease the value of the award that would otherwise be made to Landlord in such taking or condemnation. In the event of a partial taking which does not result in a termination of this Lease, rent shall be abated in the proportion which the part of Premises so made unusable bears to the rented area of the Premises immediately prior to the taking, and Landlord, at Landlord’s cost, shall restore the Premises remaining to an architectural whole with the Base Rent reduced in proportion to what the area taken bears to the Premises prior to the taking. No temporary

taking of the Premises and/or of Tenant’s rights therein or under this Lease shall give Tenant the right to terminate this Lease or to any abatement of Rent thereunder. Any award made to Tenant by reason of any such temporary taking where Landlord does not terminate this Lease shall belong entirely to Tenant so long as said award does not diminish Landlord’s award.

15. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

15.1 Landlord’s Consent Required. Except as provided in Paragraph 15.10, Tenant shall not assign, transfer, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or encumber this Lease or any interest therein (each a “Transfer”), and shall not sublet the Premises or any part thereof, without the prior written consent of Landlord and any attempt to do so without such consent being first had and obtained shall be wholly void and shall constitute a breach of this Lease.

15.2 Reasonable Consent.

(a) If Tenant complies with the following conditions, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to the subletting of the Premises or any portion thereof or the assignment of this Lease. Tenant shall submit in writing to Landlord (i) the name and legal composition of the proposed subtenant or assignee; (ii) the nature of the business proposed to be carried on in the Premises; (iii) the terms and provisions of the proposed sublease; (iv) such reasonable financial information as Landlord may request concerning the proposed subtenant or assignee; and (v) the form of the proposed sublease or assignment. Within ten (10) business days after Landlord receives all such information it shall notify Tenant whether it approves such assignment or subletting or if it elects to proceed under Paragraph 15.8 below.

(b) The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that, among other circumstances for which Landlord could reasonably withhold its consent to a sublease or assignment, it shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent where (i) the assignee or subtenant (a “Transferee”) does not itself occupy the entire portion of the Premises assigned or sublet, (ii) Landlord reasonably disapproves of the Transferee’s reputation or the character of the business to be conducted by the Transferee at the Premises, (iii) the Transferee’s business entails the operation of a call center, or (iv) the assignment or subletting would materially increase the burden on the Building services or the number of people occupying the Premises.

15.3 Excess Consideration. If Landlord consents to the assignment or sublease, Landlord shall be entitled to receive as additional Rent hereunder fifty percent (50%) of any consideration paid by the Transferee for the assignment or sublease and, in the case of a sublease, fifty percent (50%) of the excess of the rent and other consideration payable by the subtenant over the amount of Base Rent and Operating Cost Payments payable hereunder applicable to the subleased space.

15.4 No Release of Tenant. No consent by Landlord to any assignment or subletting by Tenant shall relieve Tenant of any obligation to be performed by Tenant under this Lease, whether occurring before or after such consent, assignment or subletting, and the Transferee shall be jointly and severally liable with Tenant for the payment of Rent (or that portion applicable to the subleased space in the case of a sublease) and for the performance of all other terms and provisions of the Lease. The consent by

Landlord to any assignment or subletting shall not relieve Tenant and any such Transferee from the obligation to obtain Landlord’s express written consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting. The acceptance of rent by Landlord from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease or to be a consent to any assignment, subletting or other transfer. Consent to one assignment, subletting or other transfer shall not be deemed to constitute consent to any subsequent assignment, subletting or other transfer.

15.5 Attorneys’ Fees. Tenant shall pay Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with reviewing any proposed assignment or sublease (not to exceed $3,000.00).

15.6 Transfer of Ownership Interest. Intentionally Deleted

15.7 Effectiveness of Transfer. No permitted assignment by Tenant shall be effective until Landlord has received a counterpart of the assignment and an instrument in which the assignee assumes all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease arising on or after the date of assignment. The voluntary, involuntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, or a mutual cancellation by Landlord and Tenant, shall not work a merger, and any such surrender or cancellation shall, at the option of Landlord, either terminate all or any existing subleases or operate as an assignment to Landlord of any or all of such subleases.

15.8 Landlord’s Right to Space. Notwithstanding any of the above provisions of this Paragraph 15 to the contrary, if Tenant notifies Landlord that it desires to assign this Lease or sublet all or any part of the Premises, Landlord, in lieu of consenting to such assignment or sublease, may elect to terminate this Lease (in the case of an assignment or a sublease of the entire Premises), or to terminate this Lease as it relates to the space proposed to be subleased by Tenant (in the case of a sublease of less than the entire Premises). In such event, this Lease (or portion thereof) will terminate on the date the assignment or sublease was to be effective, and Landlord may lease such space to any party, including the prospective Transferee identified by Tenant.

15.9 No Net Profits Leases. Intentionally Deleted

15.10 Permitted Assignment or Sublease. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in Paragraph 15, Tenant, so long as Tenant notifies Landlord in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to any such sublease or assignment and so long as Tenant provides Landlord with a fully executed copy of any such sublease or assignment, shall not be required to obtain Landlord’s consent to an assignment of the Lease or sublease of the Premises to an entity which controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Tenant or which succeeds to substantially all of Tenant’s assets and business by merger, reorganization or purchase. All other such subparagraphs of Paragraph 15 shall apply to this Paragraph 15.10 and shall remain in effect.

16. SUBORDINATION

16.1 Subordination. Tenant agrees that upon execution and delivery of a Subordination and Non-Disturbance Agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to Tenant and executed by any mortgagee or holder of a first deed of trust or ground lessor of the Complex this Lease, at Landlord’s option, shall be subject and subordinate to all ground or underlying leases which may hereafter be executed affecting all or any part of the Project, and to the lien of any first mortgages or first deeds of trust (each a “First Mortgage”) in any amount or amounts whatsoever now or hereafter placed on or against the Land or Building, Landlord’s interest or estate therein, or any ground or underlying lease, without the necessity of the execution and delivery of any further instruments on the part of Tenant to effectuate such subordination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any mortgagee or trustee of a First Mortgage or ground lessor shall elect to have this Lease prior to the lien of its First Mortgage or ground lease, and shall give written notice thereof to Tenant, this Lease shall be deemed prior to such First Mortgage or ground lease, whether this Lease is dated prior to or subsequent to the date of said First Mortgage or ground lease or the date of the recording thereof.

16.2 Junior Liens. Tenant hereby agrees that this Lease shall be superior to the lien of any present or future mortgages or deeds of trust that are junior to any First Mortgage.

16.3 Subordination Agreements. Not more than once in any twelve (12) month period during the Lease term, if this Lease is subordinate to a First Mortgage or a ground lease, Tenant will execute and deliver to Landlord within ten (10) days of written demand from Landlord and without charge therefor, such further commercially reasonable instruments evidencing the subordination of this Lease to any First Mortgage or ground lease, or the subordination of any First Mortgage or ground lease to such Lease, pursuant to Paragraph 16.1, as the case may be, as may be required by Landlord.

16.4 Attornment. If this Project is transferred to any purchaser pursuant to or in lieu of proceedings to enforce any mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease (collectively, “Encumbrance”), and this Lease is either prior to such Encumbrance or the mortgagee or trustee of a First Mortgage or ground lessor of the Project elects to have this Lease survive such transfer, Tenant shall attorn to such purchaser and recognize such purchaser as the landlord under this Lease, and this Lease shall continue as a direct lease between such purchaser and Tenant.

17. QUIET ENJOYMENT

Landlord covenants and agrees with Tenant that upon Tenant paying the Rent and performing its other covenants and conditions under this Lease, Tenant shall have the quiet possession of the Premises for the term of this Lease as against any persons or entities lawfully claiming by, through or under Landlord, subject, however, to the terms of this Lease and of any Encumbrance.

18. DEFAULT; REMEDIES

18.1 Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default” by Tenant:

Tenant (        )

Landlord (        )

(a) Tenant fails to pay Rent when due and such failure continues for five (5) days after Landlord’s written notice that the same is due;

(b) Tenant fails to deliver any subordination agreement requested by Landlord within the period described in Paragraph 16 and such failure continues for five (5) days after Landlord’s second written notice that the same is due;

(c) Tenant fails to deliver any estoppel certificate requested by Landlord within the period described in Paragraph 22 and such failure continues for five (5) days after Landlord’s second written notice that the same is due;

(d) Tenant Transfers or attempts to Transfer this Lease without complying with the provisions of Paragraph 15;

(e) Tenant fails to observe and perform any other provision of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant, where such failure continues for twenty (20) days after written notice thereof by Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that if the nature of the default is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured within said twenty (20) day period, Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant shall within such period commence such cure and thereafter diligently prosecute the same to completion;

(f) Tenant abandons the Premises and fails to pay Rent; or

(g) The making by Tenant of any general assignment or general arrangement for the benefit of creditors; the filing by or against Tenant of a petition seeking relief under any law relating to bankruptcy (unless, in the case of a petition filed against Tenant, the same is dismissed within sixty (60) days); the appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, where possession is not restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days; or the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, where such seizure is not discharged within thirty (30) days.

18.2 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord may, at any time thereafter exercise the following remedies, which shall be in addition to any other rights or remedies now or hereafter available to Landlord at law or in equity:

(a) Maintain this Lease in full force and effect and recover Rent as it becomes due, without terminating Tenant’s right to possession irrespective of whether Tenant shall have abandoned the Premises. In the event Landlord elects not to terminate the Lease, Landlord shall have the right to attempt to relet the Premises at such rent and upon such conditions and for such a term, and to do all acts necessary to maintain or preserve the Premises as Landlord deems reasonable and necessary without being deemed to have elected to terminate the Lease, including removal of all persons and property from the Premises; such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Tenant. In the event any such reletting occurs, rents received by Landlord from such subletting shall be applied (i) first, to the payment of the costs of maintaining, preserving, altering and preparing the Premises for subletting and other costs of subletting, including but not limited to

brokers’ commissions, attorneys’ fees and expenses of removal of Tenant’s personal property, trade fixtures, alterations and leasehold improvements; (ii) second, to the payment of Rent then due and payable; (iii) third, to the payment of future Rent as the same may become due and payable hereunder; and (iv) fourth, the balance, if any, shall be paid to Tenant upon (but not before) expiration of the term of this Lease. If the rents received by Landlord from such subletting, after application as provided above, are insufficient in any month to pay the Rent due and payable hereunder for such month, Tenant shall pay such deficiency to Landlord monthly upon demand. Notwithstanding any such subletting for Tenant’s account without termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter, by written notice to Tenant, elect to terminate this Lease by virtue of a previous Event of Default.

(b) Terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises at any time by written notice to Tenant, in which case Tenant shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord. Tenant expressly acknowledges that in the absence of such written notice from Landlord, no other act of Landlord, including, but not limited to, its re-entry into the Premises, its efforts to relet the Premises, its reletting of the Premises for Tenant’s account, its storage of Tenant’s personal property and trade fixtures, its acceptance of keys to the Premises from Tenant or its exercise of any other rights and remedies under this Paragraph 18.2, shall constitute an acceptance of Tenant’s surrender of the Premises or constitute a termination of this Lease or of Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises. If Landlord terminates Tenant’s right to possession in writing, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant all damages as provided in California Civil Code Section 1951.2 or any other applicable existing or future law, ordinance or regulation providing for recovery of damages for such breach, including but not limited to the following:

(1) The reasonable cost of recovering the Premises; plus

(2) The reasonable cost of removing Tenant’s alterations, trade fixtures and Above-Standard Improvements; plus

(3) All unpaid Rent due or earned hereunder prior to the date of termination, less the proceeds of any reletting or any rental received from subtenants prior to the date of termination applied as provided in subparagraph (a) above, together with interest at the Default Rate, on such sums from the date such Rent is due and payable until the date of the award of damages; plus

(4) The amount by which the Rent which would be payable by Tenant hereunder, including Operating Cost Payments as reasonably estimated by Landlord, from the date of termination until the date of the award of damages exceeds the amount of such rental loss Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided, together with interest at the Default Rate on such sums from the date such Rent is due and payable until the date of the award of damages; plus

(5) The amount by which the Rent which would be payable by Tenant hereunder, including Operating Cost Payments, as reasonably estimated by Landlord, for the remainder of the then term, after the date of the award of damages exceeds the amount of such rental loss as Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided, discounted at the discount rate published by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco for member banks at the time of the award plus one percent (1%); plus

(6) Such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by applicable law.

(c) During the continuance of an Event of Default, Landlord may enter the Premises without terminating this Lease and remove all Tenant’s personal property, and trade fixtures from the Premises. If Landlord removes such property from the Premises and stores it at Tenant’s risk and expense, and if Tenant fails to pay the cost of such removal and storage after written demand therefor and/or to pay any Rent then due, after the property has been stored for a period of thirty (30) days or more Landlord may sell such property at public or private sale, in the manner and at such times and places as Landlord in its sole discretion deems commercially reasonable following reasonable notice to Tenant of the time and place of such sale. The proceeds of any such sale shall be applied first to the payment of the expenses for removal and storage of the property, preparation for and conducting such sale, and attorneys’ fees and other legal expenses incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, and the balance shall be applied as provided in subparagraph (a) above.

Tenant hereby waives all claims for damages that may be caused by Landlord’s reentering and taking possession of the Premises or removing and storing Tenant’s personal property pursuant to this Paragraph, and Tenant shall hold Landlord harmless from and against any loss, cost or damage resulting from any such act. No reentry by Landlord shall constitute or be construed as a forcible entry by Landlord.

(d) Landlord may cure the Event of Default at Tenant’s expense. If Landlord pays any sum or incurs any expense in curing the Event of Default, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for the amount of such payment or expense with interest at the Default Rate from the date the sum is paid or the expense is incurred until Landlord is reimbursed by Tenant.

18.3 Late Charges. Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of Rent will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges. Accordingly, if any installment of Base Rent or Operating Costs Payments is not received by Landlord or Landlord’s designee within five (5) days of the date such amount shall be due, or if any installment of other Rent is not received by Landlord or Landlord’s designee on or before the date such amount shall be due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to ten percent (10%) of such overdue amount. The parties hereby agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. Acceptance of such late charge by Landlord shall in no event constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to such overdue amount nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder.

18.4 Interest. In addition to the late charges referred to above which are intended to defray Landlord’s costs resulting from late payments, any late payment of Rent shall, at Landlord’s option, bear interest from the due date of any such payment to the date the same is paid at the Default Rate, provided, however, that if Landlord imposes a late charge on any overdue payment, such overdue payment shall not begin to bear interest under this Paragraph 18.4 until thirty (30) days after the due date thereof.

18.5 Default by Landlord.

(a) Landlord shall not be in default unless Landlord fails to perform obligations required of Landlord within a reasonable time, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after written notice by Tenant to Landlord and to any mortgagee, trustee or ground lessor of the Project (each a “Holder”) provided that the name and address has been furnished to Tenant in accordance with Paragraph 25.14, specifying that Landlord has failed to perform such obligations; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord’s obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for performance, then Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord commences performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion (“Landlord Default”).

(b) In the event of a Landlord Default, Tenant, at its option, without further notice or demand, shall have the right to any one or more of the following remedies in addition to all other rights and remedies provided at law or in equity or elsewhere herein:

(1) to pursue the remedy of specific performance; and

(2) to seek money damages for loss arising from Landlord’s failure to discharge its obligations under the Lease.

(c) Nothing in Paragraph 18.5(b) shall relieve Landlord from its obligations hereunder, nor shall Paragraph 18.5(b) be construed to obligate Tenant to perform Landlord’s repair obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of an emergency, Tenant may give Landlord such shorter notice as is practicable under the circumstances, and if Landlord fails to make such repairs immediately, Tenant may immediately undertake such repairs and Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for its actual costs within thirty (30) days from receipt of invoices for any such repair.

19. PARKING

Tenant and Tenant’s employees, invitees and customers shall have the right to use the parking areas of the Building at a ratio of three (3) spaces per 1,000 square feet of the Premises and subject to such regulations and charges as Landlord shall reasonably adopt from time to time, and subject to the right of Landlord to restrict the use by Tenant and Tenant’s Representatives when in the reasonable judgment of Landlord such use is excessive for the parking area in relationship to the reasonable use required by other Tenants. If Landlord becomes obligated under applicable laws or regulations or any other directive of any governmental or quasi-governmental authority to pay or assess fees or charges for parking in the Building’s parking area, Tenant shall pay such amounts to Landlord as additional Rent.

21. MORTGAGEE PROTECTION.

Tenant agrees to give any Holder, by registered mail, a copy of any notice of default served upon the Landlord, provided that prior to such notice Tenant has been notified in writing (by way of written notice delivered to Tenant in accordance with Paragraph 25.14) of the address of such Holder. If Landlord shall have failed to cure such default within the time period set forth in Paragraph 18.5 the Holder shall have an additional thirty (30) days within which to cure such default or if such default cannot be cured within that time, then such additional time as may be reasonably necessary to cure such default (including the time necessary to foreclose or otherwise terminate its Encumbrance, if necessary to effect such cure), and this Lease shall not be terminated so long as such remedies are being diligently pursued.

22. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES.

(a) Upon ten (10) days’ written notice from Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord, in form provided by or satisfactory to Landlord, a commercially reasonable certificate stating that this Lease is in full force and effect, describing any amendments or modifications hereto, acknowledging that this Lease is subordinate or prior, as the case may be, to any Encumbrance and stating any other information Landlord may reasonably request, including the term of this Lease, the monthly Base Rent, the estimated Operating Cost Payments, the date to which Rent has been paid, the amount of any security deposit or prepaid Rent, whether either party hereto is in default under the terms of the Lease, whether Landlord has completed its construction obligations hereunder and any other information reasonably requested by Landlord. Any person or entity purchasing, acquiring an interest in or extending financing with respect to the Project shall be entitled to rely upon any such certificate.

(b) If Landlord desires to finance or refinance the Building, or any part thereof, Tenant hereby agrees to deliver to any lender designated by Landlord such financial statements of Tenant as may be reasonably required by such lender unless Tenant’s financial statements are publically available. Such statements shall include the past three years’ financial statements of Tenant. All such financial statements shall be received by Landlord and its agents and lenders in confidence and shall be used only for the purposes herein set forth. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, upon ten (10) days’ written notice from Tenant, Landlord shall provide to Tenant a commercially reasonable certificate containing reasonably requested factual statements executed by Landlord in favor of Tenant or any party extending credit to Tenant.

23. SURRENDER, HOLDING OVER

23.1 Surrender. Upon the expiration or termination of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord in its condition on the Commencement Date, except for reasonable wear and tear and damage from casualty or condemnation; provided, however, that prior to the expiration or termination of this Lease Tenant shall remove from the Premises all Tenant’s personal property, trade fixtures, alterations and other Above-Standard Improvements that Tenant has the right or is required by Landlord to remove under the provisions of this Lease. To the extent installed by Tenant, Tenant shall also be responsible for removal of all telephone cables and wires, CRT, data and telephone equipment, and any other form of cabling in the Premises. If any of such removal is not

completed at the expiration or termination of this Lease, Landlord may remove the same at Tenant’s expense. Any damage to the Premises or the Building caused by such removal shall be repaired promptly by Tenant or, if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may do so at Tenant’s expense, in which event Tenant shall immediately reimburse Landlord for such expenses together with interest at the Default rate until so paid. Tenant’s obligations under this Paragraph 23.1 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease. Upon expiration or termination of this Lease or of Tenant’s possession, Tenant shall surrender all keys to the Premises or any other part of the Building and shall make known to Landlord the combination of locks on all safes, cabinets and vaults that may be located in the Premises.

23.2 Holding Over. If Tenant remains in possession of the Premises after the expiration or termination of this Lease, Tenant’s continued possession shall be on the basis of a tenancy at the sufferance of Landlord, and Tenant shall continue to comply with or perform all the terms and obligations of the Tenant under this Lease, except that the Base Rent during Tenant’s holding over shall be one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the monthly Base Rent payable in the last month prior to the termination or expiration hereof. Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against all claims, liability, damages, costs or expenses, including reasonable attorneys fees and costs of defending the same, incurred by Landlord and arising directly from Tenant’s failure to timely surrender the Premises, including Landlord’s damages as a result of such prospective tenant rescinding or refusing to enter into the prospective lease of the Premises by reason of such failure to timely surrender the Premises; but in no event shall Tenant be liable for indirect or consequential damages.

24. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

Tenant shall not (either with or without negligence) cause or permit the escape, disposal or release of Hazardous Materials (as defined below) in violation of any Legal Requirements. Tenant shall not allow the storage or use of such substances or materials in violation of any Legal Requirement the storage and use of such substances or materials, nor allow to be brought into the Project any such materials or substances except to use in the ordinary course of Tenant’s business, and then only after written notice is given to Landlord of the identity of such substances or materials. “Hazardous Materials” means any substances, materials or wastes currently or in the future deemed defined in any Legal Requirement as “hazardous substance”, “toxic substances”, “contaminants”, “pollutants” or words of similar import. For the avoidance of doubt, Hazardous Materials shall include those described in the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, 42 U.S.C. Section 9601 et seq., any applicable state or local laws and the regulations adopted under these acts. If any lender or governmental agency shall ever notify Tenant that such lender or governmental agency requires testing to ascertain whether or not there has been any release of Hazardous Materials on account of Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, then Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of the same, and the reasonable costs thereof shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord upon demand as additional charges if such requirement applies to the Premises. Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to enter the Premises at any reasonable time to perform any required testing, to confirm Tenant’s compliance with the provisions of this Paragraph, and to perform Tenant’s obligations under this Paragraph if Tenant has failed to do so. In addition, Tenant shall execute affidavits, representations and the like from time to time (but not more often than once every twelve (12) months) at Landlord’s request concerning Tenant’s actual knowledge regarding the presence of Hazardous Materials on the Premises. In all events, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord in the manner elsewhere provided in

this Lease from any release of Hazardous Materials on the Premises occurring while Tenant is in possession, or elsewhere if caused by Tenant or persons acting under Tenant. The within covenants shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the lease term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be permitted to use Hazardous Materials customarily used in the ordinary course of office work.

24.1 Landlord’s Warranty/Hazardous Materials. Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that Landlord has no knowledge and has received no notice of any Hazardous Materials; neither the Premises, the Common Areas, the Building or the Complex is contaminated with or contains any Hazardous Materials or materials as of the Commencement Date. Landlord shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold Tenant harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, proceedings, damages, causes of action, liability, costs of expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) arising as a result of any Hazardous Materials which exist within the Complex, Common Areas, Building or Premises before or after the Commencement Date which are not brought onto the Premises, Building or Complex by Tenant.

25. MISCELLANEOUS

25.1 Attornment. Upon any transfer by Landlord of Landlord’s interest in the Premises or the Building (other than a transfer for security purposes only), Tenant agrees to attorn to any transferee or assignee of Landlord, provided that such transferee assumes in writing the obligations of Landlord under this Lease.

25.2 Captions; Attachments; Defined Terms

(a) The captions of the paragraphs of this Lease are for convenience only and shall not be deemed to be relevant in resolving any question of interpretation or construction of any paragraph of this Lease. The provisions of this Lease shall be construed in accordance with the fair meaning of the language used and shall not be strictly construed against either party. When required by the contents of this Lease, the singular includes the plural. Wherever the term “including” is used in this Lease, it shall be interpreted as meaning “including, but not limited to,” the matter or matters thereafter enumerated.

(b) Exhibits attached hereto, and addenda and schedules initialed by the parties, are deemed to constitute part of this Lease and are incorporated herein.

(c) The words “Landlord” and “Tenant” as used herein, shall include the plural as well as the singular.

25.4 Severability. If any term or provision of this Lease shall, to any extent, be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Lease shall be valid and be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

25.5 Costs of Suit

(a) If Tenant or Landlord brings any action for the enforcement or interpretation of this Lease, including any suit by Landlord for the recovery of Rent or possession of the Premises, the losing party shall pay to the prevailing party a reasonable sum for attorneys’ fees. The “prevailing party” will be determined by the court before whom the action was brought based upon an assessment of which party’s major arguments or positions taken in the suit or proceeding could fairly be said to have prevailed over the other party’s major arguments or positions on major disputed issues in the court’s decision.

(b) Should Landlord, without fault on Landlord’s part, be made a party to any litigation instituted by Tenant or by any third party against Tenant, or by or against any person holding under or using the Premises by license of Tenant, or for the foreclosure of any lien for labor or material furnished to or for Tenant or any such other person or otherwise arising out of or resulting from any act or transaction of Tenant or of any such other person, Tenant covenants to save and hold Landlord harmless from any judgment rendered against Landlord or the Premises or any part thereof, and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Landlord in or in connection with such litigation.

25.6 Time; Joint and Several Liability. Time is of the essence of this Lease and each and every provision hereof, except as to the conditions relating to the delivery of possession of the Premises to Tenant. All the terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Lease to be performed by either party, if such party shall consist of more than one person or organization, shall be deemed to be joint and several, and all rights and remedies of the parties shall be cumulative and nonexclusive of any other remedy at law or in equity.

25.7 Binding Effect; Choice of Law. The parties hereto agree that all provisions hereof are to be construed as both covenants and conditions as though the words imparting such covenants and conditions were used in each separate paragraph hereof. Subject to any provisions hereof restricting assignment or subletting by Tenant, all of the provisions hereof shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns. This Lease shall be governed by the laws of the State of California.

25.8 Waiver. No covenant, term or condition or the breach thereof shall be deemed waived, except by written consent of the party against whom the waiver is claimed, and any waiver or breach of any covenant, term or condition shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach of the same or any other covenant,

term or condition. Acceptance by Landlord of any performance by Tenant after the time the same shall have become due shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of the breach or default of any covenant, term or condition unless otherwise expressly agreed to by Landlord in writing.

25.9 Force Majeure. In the event Landlord or Tenant is delayed, interrupted or prevented from performing any of its obligations under this Lease (except the obligation to pay money to the other party hereto), including Landlord’s obligations under the Work Letter, and such delay, interruption or prevention is due to fire, act of God, governmental act, strike, labor dispute, unavailability of materials or any other cause outside the reasonable control of Landlord or Tenant, as applicable (each a “Force Majeure Event”), then the time for performance of the affected obligations of Landlord or Tenant, as applicable, shall be extended for a period equivalent to the period of such delay, interruption or prevention. With respect to obligations of Landlord or Tenant required to be performed prior to the Commencement Date, each day of delay under this Paragraph 25.9 shall result in one (1) Scheduled Commencement Adjustment Day.

25.10 Landlord’s Liability. The term “Landlord”, as used in this Lease, shall mean only the owner or owners of the Project at the time in question. Notwithstanding any other term or provision of this Lease, the liability of Landlord for its obligations under this Lease is limited solely to Landlord’s interest in the Project as the same may from time to time be encumbered, and no personal liability shall at any time be asserted or enforceable against any other assets of Landlord or against Landlord’s stockholders, directors, officers or partners on account of any of Landlord’s obligations or actions under this Lease. In addition, in the event of any conveyance of title to the Building or the Project, then from and after the date of such conveyance, Landlord shall be relieved of all liability with respect to Landlord’s obligations to be performed under this Lease after the date of such conveyance. Upon any conveyance of title to the Building or the Project, the grantee or transferee, by accepting such conveyance, shall be deemed to have assumed Landlord’s obligations to be performed under this Lease from and after the date of transfer, subject to the limitations on liability set forth above in this Paragraph 25.10. In no event will Landlord or Tenant be liable under this Lease for consequential or indirect damages or loss of profits.

25.11 Consents and Approvals. Wherever the consent, approval, judgment or determination of Landlord is required or permitted under this Lease, Landlord may exercise its good faith business judgment in granting or withholding such consent or approval or in making such judgment or determination without reference to any extrinsic standard of reasonableness, unless the provision providing for such consent, approval, judgment or determination specifies that Landlord’s consent or approval is not to be unreasonably withheld, or that such judgment or determination is to be reasonable, or otherwise specifies the standards under which Landlord may withhold its consent.

The review and/or approval by Landlord of any item to be reviewed or approved by Landlord under the terms of this Lease or any Exhibits hereto shall not impose upon Landlord any liability for accuracy or sufficiency of any such item or the quality or suitability of such item for its intended use. Any such review or approval is for the sole purpose of protecting Landlord’s interest in the Project under this Lease, and no third parties, including Tenant or Tenant’s Representatives or any person or entity claiming by, through or under Tenant, shall have any rights hereunder.

Tenant and Landlord agree to indemnify and hold each other harmless from any claim or claims, including costs, expenses and attorney’s fees incurred by indemnified party asserted by any other broker or finder for a fee or commission based upon any dealings with or statements made by the indemnifying party or its agents, employees or representatives.

25.18 Reserved Rights. Landlord retains and shall have the rights set forth below, exercisable without liability to Tenant for damage or injury to property, person or business and without effecting an eviction, constructive or actual, or disturbance of Tenant’s use or possession of the Premises or giving rise to any claim for set-off or abatement of Rent, to reduce, increase, enclose or otherwise change at any time and from time to time the size, number, location, layout and nature of the common areas and facilities and other tenancies and premises in the Project and to create additional rentable areas through use or enclosure of common areas.

25.20 Letter of Credit.

(a) Upon the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a standby, at sight, clean, irrevocable, non-documentary and unconditional Letter of Credit issued by and drawable upon a money-center bank (a bank which accepts deposits, maintains accounts, has a local San Francisco Bay Area office and which will negotiate a letter of credit) (hereinafter referred to as the “Issuing Bank”), and has combined capital, surplus and undivided profits of not less than FIVE HUNDRED MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($500,000,000.00), which Letter of Credit (i) shall name Landlord as beneficiary, (ii) be in the amount of SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($700,000.00), (iii) have a term of not less than three (3) years, (iv) permit multiple drawings, (v) be fully transferable by Landlord without the payment of any fees or charges, (vi) require that any draw on the Letter of Credit be made only upon receipt by the issuing Bank of a written letter from landlord certifying that an Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, and (vii) provide that it is governed by the uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (1993 revisions), and otherwise be in form and content reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. The Letter of Credit shall have a term expiration date or be renewed annually for a period of three (3) years from the Commencement Date. If upon any transfer, any fees or charges shall be so imposed, then such fees or charges shall be payable solely by Tenant and the Letter of Credit shall so specify. The Letter of Credit shall provide that it shall be deemed automatically renewed, without amendment, for consecutive periods of one (1) year each thereafter, unless the Issuing Bank sends notice (the “Non-Renewal Notice”) to Landlord by certified mail, return receipt requested, not less than forty-five (45) days next preceding the then expiration date of the Letter of Credit that it elects not to have such Letter of Credit renewed. Landlord shall have the right, after its receipt of the Non-Renewal Notice and until the expiration of the Letter of Credit to draw the full amount of the Letter of Credit, by sight draft on the Issuing Bank, and shall hold the proceeds of the Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms of this Paragraph 25.20 as cash security deposit.

(b) If an Event of Default in respect of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease, including the payment of rent, Landlord may apply or retain the whole or any part of the cash security so deposited or may notify the Issuing Bank and thereupon receive all or a portion of the monies represented by the Letter of Credit and hold such proceeds pursuant to the terms of this Paragraph 25.20 as a cash security deposit. The Landlord may use or apply, or retain the whole or any part of such proceeds, as the case may be, to the extent required for the payment of any Monthly Base Rent or any other sums due as a result of the Event of Default including (a) any sum which Landlord may expend or may be required to expend by reason of Tenant’s Event of Default in respect of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease, and/or (b) and damages or deficiency in the reletting of the Premises, whether such damages or deficiency accrue or accrues before or after summary proceedings or other reentry by Landlord. Drawing upon the Letter of Credit shall be conditioned upon the presentation to the Issuing Bank of a certified statement executed by an authorized member, officer or general partner of Landlord that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Lease and Landlord is exercising its right to draw upon the Letter of Credit. If it is necessary for Landlord to apply or retain any part of the Letter of Credit, Tenant, upon demand, shall deposit with Landlord the amount so applied or retained so that Landlord shall have the full SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($700,000.00) on hand at all times until (but not including) the thirty-seventh (37th) full calendar month of the term of this Lease. If Tenant shall fully and faithfully comply with all of the material terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, the Letter of Credit, shall be returned to Tenant on the first (1st) day of the thirty-seventh (37th) full calendar month of the Lease. In the event of a sale of the real property or the Building or a master leasing of the Building, Landlord shall have the right to

transfer the Letter of Credit, and within five (5) business days after notice of such sale or leasing, Tenant, at its sole cost, shall arrange for the transfer of the Letter of Credit to the new landlord, as designated by Landlord in the foregoing notice or have the Letter of Credit reissued in the name of the new landlord and Landlord shall thereupon be released by Tenant from all liability for the return of such security, provided that the new landlord assumes thereupon in writing the obligations of Landlord hereunder. Upon such assumption by new landlord, Tenant shall look solely to the new landlord for the return of the Letter of Credit and the provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment made of the security to a new landlord. Tenant further covenants and agrees that it shall not assign or encumber or attempt to assign or encumber the Letter of Credit designated herein as security and that neither Landlord nor its successors or assignees shall be bound by any such agreement, encumbrances, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance.

25.21 Right to Terminate. Landlord hereby grants Tenant with a one (1) time right to terminate this Lease (the “Right to Terminate”) effective on the last day of the forty-eighth (48th) full calendar month of the term of this Lease (the “Termination Effective Date”). In the event Tenant elects to exercise this Right to Terminate, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing no sooner than thirteen (13) months and no later than twelve (12) months prior to the Termination Effective Date. In the event of such notification Tenant shall pay Landlord a Termination Fee equal to $25.00 per rentable square foot of the Premises, with such fee being due and payable in full concurrently with the delivery of Tenant’s notice that it is exercising its Right to Terminate. If said payment is not made within this time frame, Tenant’s notice hereunder shall be deemed void.

25.22 Right of First Refusal. Landlord hereby grants Tenant a right of first refusal to lease (the “Right of First Refusal”) any space in excess of 5,000 rentable square feet that is available as of the date this Lease has been fully executed or becomes available during the term of this Lease, the “Refusal Space”. If and at such time as Landlord has received an expression of interest by a third party in leasing the Refusal Space, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of such interest, stating the location, the rentable area, and the basic business terms under which Landlord proposes to lease the Refusal Space”, each a “First Refusal Notice”. Tenant shall have seven (7) days after receipt of a Refusal Notice to deliver to Landlord, in writing, its notice that it is exercising its rights hereunder, the “Exercise Notice” on the terms set forth in the First Refusal Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Tenant delivers an Exercise Notice, and Tenant has at least four (4) years remaining on the term of this Lease, then notwithstanding the terms of the First Refusal Notice, Landlord shall provide Tenant with suite improvements comparable to those delivered to Tenant as of the Commencement Date (e.g. similar carpet, quantities on a pro rata basis of walls, doors, hardware, lighting, electrical outlets and finishes), the rate of Base Rent shall be $26.00 per rentable square foot per annum, there shall be no free rent and the expiration date for the Refusal Space shall be coterminous with the expiration date of this Lease. In the event Tenant delivers an Exercise Notice and there is less than four (4) years remaining on the term of this Lease then all of the terms and conditions in the First Refusal Notice shall be applicable on any Exercise Notice delivered by Tenant.

If Tenant does not timely deliver an Exercise Notice, then Landlord shall be free to lease the Refusal Space to another party, provided, however, if Landlord fails to lease the Refusal Space within six (6) months of the delivery of the First Refusal Notice to Tenant or the economic terms stated in the First Refusal Notice improve by a value of seven percent (7%) or more in favor of the proposed tenant, then Landlord shall reoffer the Refusal Space to Tenant by sending another First Refusal Notice to Tenant stating the then-current terms.

LEASE AGREEMENT

DATED AS OF             , 2011

BETWEEN

ALEXANDER PROPERTIES COMPANY, AS LANDLORD,

AND

FIVE9, AS TENANT (“LEASE”)

WORK LETTER

2. Suite Improvements. Landlord shall in a good and workmanlike manner and in compliance with all then-current Legal Requirements construct and install in the Premises the improvements and fixtures described in this Exhibit B and as shown on Exhibit C (the “Suite Improvements”). Improvements consisting of the type and materials (or alternates approved by Landlord), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, described on Schedule 1 attached hereto as Exhibit B are referred to herein as “Building Standard Materials”. All Suite Improvements other than (a) “Building Shell” (as described in Schedule 1) or (b) those that utilize materials in addition to, substitution for or modification of the Building Standard Materials are called herein “Above-Standard Suite Improvements”.

2.1. Plans.

(a) On or before December 14, 2011, Tenant will submit to Landlord a plan showing details and specifications sufficient to permit Landlord’s contractor and subcontractors to price and construct the Suite Improvements. Such plans shall hereinafter be referred to as the Construction Drawings.

2.2. Construction. Upon Landlord’s receipt of the Construction Drawings, approved by Tenant, Landlord shall proceed with reasonable diligence to cause the Suite Improvements to be Substantially Completed on or prior to the Scheduled Commencement Date. The Suite Improvements shall be deemed to be “Substantially Completed” when they have been completed in accordance with the Final Construction Drawings except for finishing details, minor omissions, decorations and mechanical adjustments of the type normally found on an architectural “punch list”. (The definition of Substantially Completed shall also define the terms “Substantial Completion” and “Substantially Complete.”) Punch list items shall be corrected by Landlord within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s occupancy.

2.3. Cost of Suite Improvements. See Paragraph 1 of the Lease entitled PREMISES.

2.4. Landlord’s Profit and Overhead. Intentionally Deleted

2.5. Tenant Delays.

Tenant shall be responsible for, and shall pay to Landlord, any and all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with any delay in the commencement or completion of any Suite Improvements and any increase in the cost of Suite Improvements (whether or not Above-Standard Suite Improvements) caused by (i) Tenant’s failure to deliver the items described above within the time periods required above, (ii) any changes or modifications in the work requested by Tenant following approval of the Construction Drawings, or (iii) any other delay requested or caused by Tenant (collectively, “Tenant Delays”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Tenant Delay shall be deemed to have occurred unless and until Landlord gives written notice to Tenant specifying the action, inaction or occurrence constituting the Tenant Delay and the number of days of such Tenant Delay (“Tenant Delay Notice”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, each day of Tenant Delay will result in one (1) Scheduled Commencement Adjustment Day. In the event of a Tenant Delay, Landlord’s obligation to deliver Substantial Completion may, at Landlord’s option, be extended by one (1) day for each day of a Tenant Delay and Rent shall commence on the scheduled Commencement Date or as the case may be Free Rent will be reduced on a day for day basis for each day of Tenant Delay.

3. Commencement of Term. Upon Substantial Completion of the Suite Improvements, Landlord shall deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant. The Commencement Date will be the earlier of Substantial Completion of the Suite Improvements or the date Landlord would have completed the Premises and tendered the Premises to Tenant if Substantial Completion had not been delayed by the number of days specified in any and all Tenant Delay Notices given by Landlord as described in Paragraph 1.5.

4. Access to Premises. Landlord, at its reasonable discretion, shall allow Tenant or Tenant’s Representatives to enter the Premises prior to the Substantial Completion to permit Tenant to make the Premises ready for its use and occupancy; provided, however, that prior to such entry of the Premises, Tenant shall provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord that Tenant’s insurance, as described in Paragraph 12 of the Lease, shall be in effect as of the time of such entry. Such permission may be revoked at any time upon twenty-four (24) hours written notice, and Tenant or its Representatives shall not unreasonably interfere with Landlord or Landlord’s contractor in completing the Building or the Suite Improvements. Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be liable in any way for any injury, loss or damage which may occur to any of Tenant’s property placed upon or installed in the Premises prior to the Commencement Date, the same being at Tenant’s sole risk, and Tenant shall be liable for all injury, loss or damage to persons or property arising as a result of such entry of the Premises by Tenant or its Representatives.

(iii) Borrower will use the proceeds of the Advances for working capital needs or general corporate purposes.

All Obligations shall bear interest, from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at Bank’s option, at a rate equal to three (3) percentage points above the interest rate applicable immediately prior to the occurrence of such Event of Default.

(c) Payments. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable on the last business day of each month during the term hereof. Bank shall, at its option, charge such interest, all Bank Expenses, and all Periodic Payments against any of Borrower’s deposit accounts or against the Revolving Line, in which case those amounts shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder. Any interest not paid when due shall be compounded by becoming a part of the Obligations, and such interest shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder.

(d) Computation. In the event the Prime Rate is changed from time to time hereafter, the applicable rate of interest hereunder shall be increased or decreased, effective as of the day the Prime Rate is changed, by an amount equal to such change in the Prime Rate. All interest chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

2.4 Crediting Payments. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is existing, Bank shall credit a wire transfer of funds, check or other item of payment to such deposit account or Obligation as Borrower specifies. After the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the receipt by Bank of any wire transfer of funds, check, or other item of payment shall be immediately applied to conditionally reduce Obligations, but shall not be considered a payment on account unless such payment is of immediately available federal funds or unless and until such check or other item of payment is honored when presented for payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any wire transfer or payment received by Bank after 12:00 noon Pacific Time shall be deemed to have been received by Bank as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day. Whenever any payment to Bank under the Loan Documents would otherwise be due (except by reason of acceleration) on a date that is not a Business Day, such payment shall instead be due on the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as the case may be, shall accrue and be payable for the period of such extension.

2.5 Withholding. Payments received by Bank from Borrower under this Agreement will be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, deductions, withholdings, assessments, fees or other charges imposed by any Governmental Authority (including any interest, additions to tax or penalties applicable thereto) other than income, franchise or branch profit taxes imposed on (or measured by) Bank’s net income by the United States of America. Specifically, however, if at any time any Governmental Authority, applicable law, regulation or international agreement requires Borrower to make any withholding or deduction from any such payment or other sum payable hereunder to Bank, for any such tax, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees that the amount due from Borrower with respect to such payment or other sum payable hereunder will be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such required withholding or deduction, Bank receives a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received had no withholding or deduction been required, and Borrower shall pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority. Borrower will, upon request, furnish Bank with proof reasonably satisfactory to Bank indicating that Borrower has made such withholding payment; provided, however, that Borrower need not make any withholding payment if the amount or validity of such withholding payment is contested in good faith by appropriate and timely proceedings and as to which payment in full is bonded or reserved against by Borrower.

Borrower authorizes Bank to disclose its relationship with Borrower, including use of Borrower’s logo in Bank’s promotional materials.

12.9 Patriot Act Notice. Bank notifies Borrower that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law on October 26, 2001) (the “ Patriot Act “), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower, which information includes names and addresses and other information that will allow Bank to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.

As a condition to granting to any Person a Lien in any property in which Bank does not have a first priority security interest, Borrower shall first grant a Lien to Bank in such property, and take such actions at Borrower’s expense as Bank reasonably requests to perfect and maintain the first priority of such Lien.

8. A new Section 7.12 (Intellectual Property) is added to the Agreement to read as follows:

(b) Borrower shall not incorporate into any proprietary software licensed or distributed by Borrower that is material to generating revenue any third-party code that is licensed pursuant to any open source license, in a manner that would require or condition the use or distribution of such software on, the disclosing, licensing or distribution of any Borrower source code.

(c) Borrower shall not enter into any Intellectual Property license material to the conduct of the business of Borrower unless Borrower has used commercially reasonable efforts to permit the assignment of or grant of a security interest in such license to Bank.

LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

THIS LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT is dated as of February 20, 2014 and entered into by and among (i) FIVE9, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Lead Borrower”) and FIVE9 ACQUISITION LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (jointly and severally, individually and collectively, “Borrower”), (ii) FIFTH STREET FINANCE CORP., a Delaware corporation (together with its successors and assigns, “FSFC”), FIFTH STREET MEZZANINE PARTNERS V, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (together with its successors and assigns, “FSMP”), and the other lenders identified on the signature pages hereof (such lenders, together with their respective successors and assigns, are referred to hereinafter each individually as a “Lender” and collectively as the “Lenders”), and (iii) FIFTH STREET FINANCE CORP., a Delaware corporation, as the administrative agent and collateral agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns in such capacity, “Agent”). In consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and benefits to be derived herefrom the parties hereto hereby agree as follows (all capitalized terms herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in Annex A hereto):

SECTION 1

AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF LOAN

1.1 Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of Borrower contained herein:

(a) Term Loan. The Lenders (severally, not jointly) agree to make a term loan (the “Loan”) to Borrower in an amount equal to Thirty Million Dollars ($30,000,000) (the “Loan Commitment”). FSMP agrees to fund Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) of the Loan Commitment and FSFC agrees to fund Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000) of the Loan Commitment. Amounts borrowed under the Loan and repaid may not be reborrowed.

(b) Unconditional Obligation to Pay. Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay all Obligations as and when due hereunder.

(c) Note. The Loan shall be evidenced by one or more notes substantially in the forms executed by Borrower on the date hereof (each a “Note” and collectively, the “Notes”). Neither the original nor a copy of any Note shall be required, however, to establish or prove any Obligation. In the event that a Note is ever lost, mutilated, or destroyed, Borrower shall execute a replacement thereof and deliver such replacement to Lender.

(d) Purpose. The proceeds of the Loan shall be used to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and Related Transactions and for working capital and general corporate purposes of the Borrower not otherwise prohibited by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.


(e) Funding.

(i) Subject to the terms of this Agreement and satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 hereof, the Lenders shall make the following advances to Borrower on the Closing Date (collectively, the “Initial Advance”): FSMP shall advance Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) of the Loan and FSFC shall advance Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) of the Loan. Other than the Initial Advance, FSMP shall have no funding obligations hereunder.

(ii) Subject to Borrower’s compliance with the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 hereof, from the Closing Date through and including February 20, 2015 (the “Outside Funding Date”), the portion of the Loan not advanced on the Closing Date shall be available to Borrower in subsequent advances (each, an “Additional Advance”) from FSFC. Each request for an Additional Advance by Borrower to FSFC shall be made in the form substantially similar to the Form of Additional Advance Request attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1. In addition to the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 hereof, any such Additional Advances under the Loan shall be subject to the following:

(a) The aggregate amount of the Initial Advance and all Additional Advances outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Loan Commitment.

(b) Additional Advances shall only be available until the Outside Funding Date.

(c) Additional Advances shall be in the amount of at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000).

1.2 Interest and Payment Terms.

(a) Rate. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding balance of the Loan at a per annum rate equal to the greater of either (A) ten percent (10%) or (B) the LIBOR Rate and shall be payable as follows:

(i) Current Pay. Accrued interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Loan shall be payable monthly in arrears, in immediately available funds, on the last day of each month (the “Payment Date”). The initial Payment Date hereunder shall be February 28, 2014.

(ii) Principal Amortization. In addition to the interest payments described above, commencing on the Amortization Payment Start Date and continuing on each Payment Date thereafter, Borrower shall make, in immediately available funds, monthly principal payments on the Loan each an amount equal to (A) twenty percent (20%) of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan on the Amortization Payment Start Date divided by (B) twelve. Principal amortization payments shall be applied ratably among the Lenders.

(b) Calculation of Payments. If any payment on the Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof will be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon

 

-2-


shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. Interest under the Loan shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year for the number of days elapsed in each interest period.

(c) Default Rate. So long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under Section 6.1(a), (f), or (g) and without notice of any kind, or so long as any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and at the election of the Required Lenders, after written notice thereof to Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the Loan shall be increased by four percentage points (4%) per annum above the rate of interest otherwise applicable hereunder (“Default Rate”), and all outstanding Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate. Interest at the Default Rate shall accrue from the initial date of such Event of Default until that Event of Default is waived and shall be payable upon demand, but in any event, shall be payable on the next Payment Date.

(d) Maximum Lawful Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 1.2, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final non-appealable order that the rate of interest payable hereunder exceeds the highest rate of interest permissible under law (the “Maximum Lawful Rate”), then so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be so exceeded, the rate of interest payable hereunder shall be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate; provided, however, that if at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable hereunder is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, Borrower shall continue to pay interest hereunder at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received by the Lenders, is equal to the total interest that would have been received had the interest rate payable hereunder been (but for the operation of this paragraph) the interest rate payable since the Closing Date as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Thereafter, interest hereunder shall be paid at the rate(s) of interest and in the manner provided in Sections 1.2(a) through (c), unless and until the rate of interest again exceeds the Maximum Lawful Rate, and at that time this paragraph shall again apply. In no event shall the total interest received by the Lenders pursuant to the terms hereof exceed the amount that the Lenders could lawfully have received had the interest due hereunder been calculated for the full term hereof at the Maximum Lawful Rate. If the Maximum Lawful Rate is calculated pursuant to this paragraph, such interest shall be calculated at a daily rate equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate divided by the number of days in the year in which such calculation is made. If, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 1.2(d) a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine by a final, non-appealable order that the Lenders have received interest hereunder in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, the Lenders shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, promptly apply such excess as specified in Section 1.6 and thereafter shall refund any excess to Borrower or as such court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise order.

(e) LIBOR Rate Unascertainable; Illegality; Increased Costs.

(i) In the event that the Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR then the Agent shall forthwith give notice by telephone of such determination. If such notice is given, any portion of

 

-3-


the Loans which were accruing interest with reference to the LIBOR shall bear interest at the Adjusted Prime Rate beginning on the date such notice is provided to Borrower. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Borrower have the right to elect to have the Loan bear interest at the Adjusted Prime Rate.

(ii) If any requirement of law or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof shall hereafter make it unlawful for any Lender in good faith to make or maintain the portion of the Loans bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate, the Loan shall automatically bear interest at the Adjusted Prime Rate on the next succeeding Payment Date or within such earlier period as required by applicable law. Borrower hereby agrees promptly to pay such Lender (within ten (10) days of such Lender’s written demand therefor), any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for any reasonable and out-of-pocket costs incurred by such Lender in making any conversion from the LIBOR Rate to the Adjusted Prime Rate in accordance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, any interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain the Loan hereunder.

(f) Mandatory Prepayments. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, concurrently with the receipt by Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries of the net proceeds (i) of the issuance of any Indebtedness for borrowed money (other than Permitted Indebtedness) including any Subordinated Debt, (ii) of any disposition of assets (other than a disposition of assets permitted under Section 3.7 below), (iii) from any Casualty Event in excess of $500,000, (iv) from the issuance of, or otherwise on account of, any Stock of any Subsidiary of Borrower (other than equity issuances by a Subsidiary of Borrower to Borrower or a Subsidiary of Borrower), and (v) from any Extraordinary Receipts in excess of $500,000, Borrower shall prepay the Loan in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such net proceeds, subject to the prepayment fee described in Section 1.3(b) below. Nothing in this Section 1.2(f) shall be construed to permit or waive any Default or Event of Default that may arise from any incurrence of any events described herein and not otherwise permitted under the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 1.2(f) to the contrary, if Borrower notifies the Agent that it intends to apply the net proceeds from a Casualty Event (or a portion thereof) to acquire (or replace or rebuild) tangible assets to be used in the business of Borrower within 360 days after receipt of such net proceeds, then no prepayment is required pursuant to this Section 1.2(f) in respect of such net proceeds; provided that to the extent of any such net proceeds have not been so applied by the end of such 360-day period, a prepayment is required at such time in an amount equal to such net proceeds that have not been so applied.

1.3 Fees.

(a) Advisory Fees. On the date hereof, Borrower shall pay to the Lenders an aggregate advisory fee of $400,000, as follows: (i) to FSMP an advisory fee in the amount of $150,000, (ii) to FSFC an advisory fee in the amount of $150,000, and (iii) to FSFC an advisory fee in the amount of $100,000, all in immediately available funds, which fees shall be deemed fully earned on the date hereof, and shall not be credited to any other payment required hereunder.

 

-4-


(b) Prepayment. Borrower may prepay all or a portion of the Loan at any time. Any such prepayment shall be applied ratably among the Lenders. If Borrower (A) voluntarily prepays any portion of the Loan, or (B) pursuant to any mandatory prepayment set forth in Sections 1.2(f), prepays, in one or a related series of transactions, all amounts outstanding under the Loan, Borrower shall pay to the Lenders, as liquidated damages and compensation for the costs of being prepared to make funds available hereunder, an amount equal to the Applicable Percentage multiplied by the sum of the portion of the principal amount of the Loan paid after acceleration or prepaid. As used herein, the term “Applicable Percentage” shall mean (x) three percent (3.0%), in the case of a prepayment on or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, (y) two percent (2.0%), in the case of a prepayment after the second anniversary of the Closing Date but on or prior to the third anniversary thereof, and (z) one percent (1.0%), in the case of a prepayment after the third anniversary of the Closing Date but on or prior to the date occurring ninety (90) days prior to the Maturity Date. Borrower acknowledges that the Lenders shall suffer damages on account of the early payment of the Loan and that the Applicable Percentage is a reasonable calculation of the Lenders’ lost profits in view of the difficulties and impracticality of determining actual damages resulting from prepayment.

(c) Expenses and Attorneys’ Fees. Borrower agrees to promptly pay all reasonable and out-of-pocket fees, charges, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, accounting, consulting, brokerage or other similar professional fees and expenses and travel expenses) incurred by the Agent and/or any Lender in connection with any matters contemplated by or arising out of the Loan Documents, including in connection with the examination, review, due diligence investigation, documentation, negotiation, closing of the transactions contemplated herein and in connection with the continued administration of the Loan Documents including any amendments, modifications, subordination or intercreditor agreements, consents and waivers. Borrower agrees to promptly pay all fees, charges, costs and expenses (including reasonable fees, charges, costs and expenses of attorneys, auditors, appraisers, consultants and advisors) incurred by the Agent and/or any Lender in connection with any Event of Default, work-out in respect of the Loan or any action or efforts by the Agent and/or any Lender to preserve, protect, collect or enforce any Loan Document or any rights or remedies of the Agent and/or Lender in connection with the Collateral or to collect any payments due from Borrower hereunder (whether or not actually instituted in connection with such efforts). All fees, charges, costs and expenses for which Borrower is responsible under this Agreement shall be deemed part of the Obligations when incurred, secured by the Collateral and payable upon demand; provided, however, that Borrower may remit any such fees, charges, costs and expenses as a part of its first regularly scheduled accounts payable processing following such demand.

1.4 Payments. All payments by Borrower of the Obligations shall be without deduction, defense, setoff or counterclaim and shall be made in Dollars and in same day funds and delivered to the Agent for the account of the applicable Lender by wire transfer to the

 

-5-


account of such applicable Lender specified by Agent from time to time or such other place as the Agent may from time to time designate in writing to Borrower. Borrower shall receive credit on the day of receipt for funds received by the Lenders by 12:00 noon (New York Time). In the absence of timely receipt, such funds shall be deemed to have been paid on the next Business Day.

1.5 Maturity. In all events, and under all circumstances, unless sooner paid, all Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in full on the Maturity Date.

1.6 Application and Allocation of Payments. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (i) payments made to the Lenders shall be applied, first, ratably to Fees and reimbursable expenses of the Agent and the Lenders then due and payable pursuant to any of the Loan Documents; and (ii) payments matching specific scheduled payments then due shall be applied to those scheduled payments. Payments made when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall be applied in accordance with Section 6.4. Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments received from or on behalf of Borrower when an Event of Default exists, and Borrower hereby irrevocably agrees that the Lenders shall have the continuing exclusive right to apply any and all such payments against the Obligations of Borrower as the Lenders may deem advisable, notwithstanding any previous entry by the Lenders in the Loan Account or any other books and records.

1.7 Loan Account. The Agent shall maintain a loan account (the “Loan Account”) on its books to record: all credit extensions, all payments made by Borrower, and all other debits and credits as provided in this Agreement with respect to the Loan or any other Obligations. All entries in the Loan Account shall be made in accordance with the Agent’s customary accounting practices as in effect from time to time. The balances in the Loan Account, as recorded on the Agent’s most recent printout or other written statement, shall, absent manifest error, be presumptive evidence of the amounts due and owing to the Lenders by Borrower; provided that any failure to so record or any error in so recording shall not limit or otherwise affect Borrower’s duty to pay the Obligations. The Agent shall render to Borrower a monthly accounting of transactions with respect to the Loan setting forth the balances of the Loan Account for the immediately preceding month. Notwithstanding any provision herein contained to the contrary, the Lenders may elect (which election may be revoked) to dispense with the issuance of the Note to any Lender and may rely on the Loan Account as evidence of the amount of Obligations from time to time owing to it.

1.8 Taxes.

(a) No Deductions. Any and all payments or reimbursements made hereunder or under any Note by Borrower shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all Charges, taxes, levies, imposts, deductions or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority other than Excluded Taxes. If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any such amounts from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to the Lenders, then the sum payable hereunder shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after making all required deductions, the Lenders receive an amount equal to the sum they would have received had no such deductions been made.

 

-6-


(b) Changes in Tax Laws. In the event that, subsequent to the Closing Date, (1) any changes in any existing law, regulation, treaty or directive from any Governmental Authority or in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority, (2) any new law, regulation, treaty or directive from any Governmental Authority enacted or any new interpretation or application thereof, or (3) compliance by any Lender with any directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made or issued after the Closing Date:

(i) does or shall subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Loan made hereunder, or change the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender of principal, fees, interest or any other amount payable hereunder (except for Excluded Taxes); or

(ii) does or shall impose on any Lender any other condition or increased cost in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or participations herein (except for Excluded Taxes);

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to any Lender of making or continuing the Loan hereunder, as the case may be, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder, then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender, on an after-tax basis, for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable, determined by such Lender with respect to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly notify Borrower of the event by reason of which such Lender has become so entitled. The Lender shall promptly notify Borrower if the event underlying Lender’s claim to any additional amounts pursuant to this Section is no longer applicable. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence and a calculation thereof in reasonable detail submitted by such Lender to Borrower shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes.

(c) Delivery Requirements. Any Lender (or Lender’s transferee and Participant) that is not a “U.S. Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the IRC (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to Borrower and the Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) two copies of whichever of the following is applicable: (i) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto), claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party, (ii) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto), (iii) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 871(h) or 881(c) of the IRC, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the IRC, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of section 871(h)(3) or 881(c)(3)(B) of the IRC, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the IRC and (y) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto), (iv) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, together with forms and certificates

Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation). In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver the appropriate forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver. In addition, each Lender that is not a Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent two copies of IRS Form W-9 (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto) on or before the date such Lender becomes a party and upon the expiration of any form previously delivered by such Lender.

(b) Excluded Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Collateral” shall not include (x) more than 65% of the voting Stock of each Foreign Subsidiary directly held by each Borrower if to do so would cause material adverse tax consequences for such Borrower; provided, that immediately upon any amendment of the IRC that would allow the pledge of a greater percentage of such Stock without material adverse tax consequences, “Collateral” shall include such greater percentage of Stock of such Foreign Subsidiary from that time forward, (y) any intent to use application for a trademark that would otherwise be deemed invalidated, cancelled or abandoned due to the grant of a Lien thereon unless and until such time as the grant of such Lien will not affect the validity of such trademark and (z) any rights or interests in any lease, license, contract, or agreement, as such or the assets subject thereto if under the terms of such lease, license, contract, or agreement, or applicable law with respect thereto, the valid grant of a Lien therein or in such assets to the Agent is prohibited and such prohibition has not been or is not waived or the consent of the other party to such lease, license, contract, or agreement has not been or is not otherwise obtained or under applicable law such prohibition cannot be waived; provided, however, the foregoing exclusions shall in no way be construed (i) to apply if any such prohibition would be rendered ineffective under the Code (including Sections 9-406, 9-407 and 9-408 thereof) or other applicable law (including the United States bankruptcy code) or principles of equity, (ii) so as to limit, impair or otherwise affect the Agent’s unconditional continuing Liens upon any rights or interests of Borrower in or to the Proceeds thereof (including proceeds from the sale, license, lease or other disposition thereof), including monies due or to become due under any such lease, license, contract, or agreement (including any Accounts or other Receivables Collateral), or (iii) to apply at such time as the condition causing such prohibition shall be remedied and, to the extent severable, “Collateral” shall include any portion of such lease, license, contract, agreement or assets subject thereto that does not result in such prohibition.

(ii) Each Borrower hereby further authorizes the Agent to file with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office (and any successor office and any similar office in any United States state or other country) this Agreement and/or such other documents for the purpose of perfecting, confirming, continuing, enforcing or protecting the security interest granted by such Borrower hereunder, without the signature of such Borrower where permitted by law, and naming such Borrower as debtor, and the Agent as secured party.

(iii) Each Borrower hereby ratifies its authorization for the Agent to file in any relevant jurisdiction any initial financing statements or amendments thereto relating to the Collateral if filed prior to the date hereof.

1.10 Joint and Several Liability; Waivers.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, each Borrower hereby accepts joint and several liability hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided by the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each Borrower and in consideration of the undertakings of the other Borrower to accept joint and several liability for the Loan and the other Obligations hereunder. Each Borrower, jointly and severally, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Borrower parties hereto, with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Obligations (including, without limitation, any Obligations arising under this Section), it being the intention of the parties hereto that all the Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each of the Borrowers without preferences or distinction among them. If and to the extent that any Borrower shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Obligations as and when due or to perform any of the Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event each other Borrower will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such Obligation. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Obligations of each Borrower under the provisions of this Section constitute the absolute and unconditional, full recourse Obligations of each Borrower enforceable against each Borrower.

(b) The provisions of this Section are made for the benefit of each of the Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns, and may be enforced by the Agent or by any Lender from time to time against any Borrower as often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of the Agent or any Lender or such successors or assigns first to marshal any of its or their claims or to exercise any of its or their rights against any Borrower or to exhaust any remedies available to it or them against any Borrower or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations hereunder or to elect any other remedy. The provisions of this Section shall remain in effect until the Termination Date.

(c) Each Borrower hereby agrees that it will not enforce any of its rights of contribution or subrogation against the other Borrower with respect to any liability incurred by it hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, any payments made by it to the Agent for the account of the Lenders with respect to any of the Obligations or any Collateral until the Termination Date. Any claim which any Borrower may have against the other Borrower with respect to any payments to the Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder or under any other Loan Documents are hereby expressly made subordinate and junior in right of payment, without limitation as to any increases in the Obligations arising hereunder or thereunder, to the Termination Date and, in the event of any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceeding under the laws of any jurisdiction relating to any Borrower, its debts or its

 

-11-


assets, whether voluntary or involuntary, all Obligations shall be paid in full in cash before any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to the other Borrower therefor. Each Borrower hereby waives and relinquishes any and all suretyship defenses and all rights and remedies accorded by applicable law to sureties or guarantors.

(d) Each Borrower hereby designates the Lead Borrower as that Borrower’s agent to obtain the Loan hereunder, the proceeds of which shall be available to each Borrower for those uses as those set forth in Section 1.1(d). As the disclosed principal for its agent, each Borrower shall be obligated to the Lenders on account of the Loan so made hereunder as if made directly by the Lenders to that Borrower, notwithstanding the manner by which the Loan is recorded on the books and records of Lead Borrower and of any Borrower. Each Borrower recognizes that credit available to it hereunder is in excess of and on better terms than it otherwise could obtain on and for its own account and that one of the reasons therefor is its joining in the credit facility contemplated herein with all other Borrowers. Consequently, each Borrower hereby assumes and agrees to discharge all Obligations of all other Borrowers as if the Borrower so assuming were each other Borrower.

SECTION 2

AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS

Borrower agrees that from and after the date hereof and until the Termination Date:

2.1 Payment and Performance of Obligations. Borrower shall pay each payment Obligation when due (or when demanded, if payable on demand) and shall promptly, punctually, and faithfully perform each other Obligation.

2.2 Locations; Perfection Certificate. Borrower shall provide at least ten (10) days prior written notice to the Lenders of any proposed change in (i) its legal name, (ii) the location of its chief executive office, its principal place of business, any office in which it maintains books or records relating to Collateral owned by it or any office or facility at which Collateral with a value in excess of $500,000 owned by it is located (including the establishment of any such new office or facility), (iii) its identity or type of organization, corporate or legal structure, or (iv) its jurisdiction of organization (in each case, including, without limitation, by merging with or into any other entity, reorganizing, dissolving, liquidating, reincorporating or incorporating in any other jurisdiction). Such Borrower agrees (A) not to effect or permit any such change unless all filings have been made under the Code or otherwise that are required in order for the Lenders to continue at all times following such change to have a valid, legal and perfected security interest in all the Collateral subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and (B) to take all action reasonably satisfactory to the Lenders to maintain the perfection and priority of the security interest of the Lenders for the benefit of the Lenders in the Collateral intended to be granted hereunder. Each Borrower agrees to promptly provide the Lenders with certified organizational documents reflecting any of the changes described in the preceding sentence. The Lenders may rely on opinions of counsel as to whether any or all UCC financing statements of the Borrowers need to be amended as a result of any of the changes described herein. If any Borrower fails to provide information to the Lenders about such changes on a timely basis, the

 

-12-


Lenders shall not be liable or responsible to any party for any failure to maintain a perfected security interest in such Borrower’s property constituting Collateral, for which the Lenders needed to have information relating to such changes.

2.3 Compliance With Laws and Contractual Obligations. Borrower will (a) comply with and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to comply with (i) the requirements of all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority (including, without limitation, laws, rules, regulations and orders relating to taxes, employer and employee contributions, securities, employee retirement and welfare benefits, environmental protection matters and employee health and safety) as now in effect and which may be imposed in the future in all jurisdictions in which Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is now doing business or may hereafter be doing business and (ii) the obligations, covenants and conditions contained in all Contractual Obligations of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, other than, with respect to the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), those laws, rules, regulations, orders and provisions of such Contractual Obligations the noncompliance with which could not be reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, and (b) maintain or obtain and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to maintain or obtain all licenses, qualifications and permits now held or hereafter required to be held by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, for which the loss, suspension, revocation or failure to obtain or renew, could reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. This Section shall not preclude Borrower or its Subsidiaries from contesting any taxes or other payments, if they are being diligently contested in good faith in a manner which stays enforcement thereof and if appropriate expense provisions have been recorded in conformity with GAAP.

2.4 Maintenance of Properties; Insurance. Borrower will maintain or cause to be maintained in good repair, working order and condition (ordinary wear and tear excepted) all properties used in the business of Borrower and its Subsidiaries and will make or cause to be made all appropriate repairs, renewals and replacements thereof. Borrower will maintain or cause to be maintained, with financially sound and reputable insurers, business interruption insurance and public liability and property damage insurance with respect to its business and properties and the business and properties of its Subsidiaries against loss or damage of the kinds customarily carried or maintained by corporations of established reputation engaged in similar businesses and will deliver evidence thereof to the Agent. Borrower shall cause the Lenders, pursuant to endorsements and/or assignments in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, to be named as lender’s loss payee in the case of casualty insurance, additional insured in the case of all liability insurance and assignee in the case of all business interruption insurance, in each case for the benefit of the Agent. In the event Borrower fails to maintain insurance coverage required by this Agreement, the Agent or any Lender may purchase insurance at Borrower’s expense to protect the Agent’s and the Lenders’ interests in the Collateral. This insurance may, but need not, protect Borrower’s interests. The coverage purchased by the Agent or Lenders may not pay any claim made by Borrower or any claim that is made against Borrower in connection with the Collateral. Borrower may later cancel any insurance purchased by the Agent or Lenders, but only after providing the Agent and the Lenders with evidence that Borrower has obtained insurance as required by this Agreement. If the Agent or Lenders purchase insurance for the Collateral as provided hereby, Borrower will be responsible for the costs of that insurance, including interest and other Charges imposed by the Agent and Lenders in connection with the placement of the insurance, until the effective date of

 

-13-


the cancellation or expiration of the insurance. The costs of such insurance may be added to the Obligations. The costs of such insurance may be more than the cost of insurance Borrower is able to obtain on its own.

2.5 Inspection. Upon reasonable notice, Borrower shall permit any authorized representatives of the Agent and/or any Lender to visit, audit, appraise and inspect the Collateral and Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ financial and accounting records, and to make copies and take extracts therefrom, and to discuss its and their affairs, finances and business with its and their officers and certified public accountants, at such reasonable times during normal business hours and as often as may be reasonably requested; provided that while any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing no notice to Borrower shall be required. Borrower shall reimburse the Agent and the Lenders for their reasonable and out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with two such visits, audits, collateral audits, appraisals or inspections in any calendar year or otherwise when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

2.6 Organizational Existence. Borrower will and will cause its Subsidiaries to at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect its organizational existence, its good standing status in the jurisdiction of its organization.

2.7 Environmental Matters. Borrower shall and shall cause each Person within its control to: (a) conduct its operations and keep and maintain its Real Estate in compliance with all Environmental Laws the noncompliance with which could not be reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect; (b) implement any and all investigation, remediation, removal and response actions that are appropriate or necessary (or reasonably requested by the Lenders) to comply with such Environmental Laws; (c) notify the Lenders promptly after Borrower or any Person within its control becomes aware of any violation of Environmental Laws or any Release on, in, under, or about any Real Estate; and (d) promptly forward to the Agent a copy of any order, notice, request for information or any communication or report received by Borrower or any Person within its control in connection with any such violation or Release whether or not any Governmental Authority has taken or threatened any action in connection with any such violation, Release or other matter.

2.8 Pension Plans. Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall (i) deliver to the Agent promptly, and in any event within 30 days, any notice, letter or communication received by Borrower or its Subsidiaries from the PBGC, the IRS or any other Governmental Authority with respect to any Plan, if such notice could result in any material liability to Borrower or its Subsidiaries, (ii) provide the Agent with copies of any annual report filed by Borrower or its Subsidiaries with the PBGC in connection with any Plan, promptly after the filing thereof, and (iii) notify the Agent prior to terminating any Plan if such termination could result in any material liability to Borrower or its Subsidiaries.

2.9 Landlords’ Agreements, Mortgagee Agreements, Bailee Letters and Real Estate Purchases. Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a landlord’s agreement, mortgagee agreement, bailee letter or customs broker agreement, as applicable, from each lessor of leased property, mortgagee of owned property, bailee or customs broker with respect to any warehouse or other location where Collateral with a value in excess of $500,000 is stored or located, which agreement or letter shall contain a waiver or subordination of all Liens or claims

 

-14-


that the landlord, mortgagee or bailee may assert against the Collateral at that location, and shall otherwise be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Agent. After the Closing Date, no real property or warehouse space shall be leased by Borrower or any Subsidiary, other than leases in effect as of the Closing Date, and no Inventory shall be shipped to a processor or converter under arrangements established after the Closing Date without the prior written consent of the Agent or unless and until a reasonably satisfactory landlord agreement, bailee letter or customs broker agreement, as appropriate, shall first have been obtained with respect to such location. Borrower shall and shall cause its Subsidiaries to timely and fully pay and perform their obligations under all leases and other agreements with respect to each leased location or public warehouse where any Collateral is or may be located unless such obligations are being contested in good faith. Borrower shall not hold any of its assets or property for sale on consignment.

2.10 Meetings; Board Observer Rights. Borrower will hold meetings of its board of directors/board of managers (the “Board”) in regular intervals and on an as needed basis, consistent with past practices. Borrower shall provide the Agent with all of the notices, information and other materials that are distributed to the Board and shall provide the Agent with a notice and agenda of each meeting of the Board all at the same time and in the same manner as such notices, agenda, information and other materials are provided to the members of the Board; provided, that such materials provided to the Agent in connection with such meetings may be redacted or excluded to the extent that the Board reasonably determines that such exclusion or redaction is reasonably necessary (i) to preserve the attorney-client privilege, (ii) because of a potential or actual conflict of interest involving the Agent or the Lenders or their representative including strategic discussions regarding financings, or (iii) because they relate to matters too sensitive to be shared with non-Board members or because of the competitive nature of the matter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Agent shall have the right to elect to have one representative present (whether in person or by telephone) in a non-voting observer capacity at all meetings of the Board and Borrower shall reimburse the Agent for the expenses (including travel expenses) incurred by the Agent in such representative attending the meetings of the Board; provided, that such representative may be excluded from such meetings to the extent that the Board reasonably determines that such exclusion is required for the matters described in clauses (i) through (iii) above. The Agent’s representative shall hold all materials and information provided or obtained hereunder in confidence and in trust (and shall not disclose such materials or information) to the same extent as if such representative was a member of the Board.

2.11 Intellectual Property.

(a) On a continuing basis, Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense:

(i) promptly following its becoming aware thereof, notify the Agent of any materially adverse determination in any proceeding or the institution of any proceeding in any federal, state or local court or administrative body or in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office regarding Borrower’s claim of ownership in or right to use any of the material Intellectual Property, Borrower’s right to register such Intellectual Property or its right to keep and maintain such registration in full force and effect;

 

-15-


(ii) not permit to lapse or become abandoned any material Intellectual Property as presently used and operated and as contemplated by this Agreement, and not settle or compromise any pending or future litigation or administrative proceeding with respect to such Intellectual Property, in each case except as shall be consistent with commercially reasonable business judgment;

(iii) upon Borrower obtaining knowledge thereof, promptly notify the Lenders in writing of any event which may be reasonably expected to materially and adversely affect the value or utility of any of the material Intellectual Property or the rights and remedies of the Agent or the Lenders under any Collateral Document in relation thereto including a levy or threat of levy or any legal process against the Intellectual Property or any portion thereof;

(iv) not license the Intellectual Property other than non-exclusive licenses entered into by Borrower in, or incidental to, the ordinary course of business, or amend or permit the amendment of any of the licenses in a manner that could materially impair the value of the Intellectual Property or the Lien on and security interest in the Intellectual Property created therein by the Collateral Documents, without the consent of the Lenders;

(v) diligently keep adequate records respecting its Intellectual Property;

(vi) furnish to the Agent from time to time upon the Agent’s reasonable request therefor reasonably detailed statements and amended schedules further identifying and describing the Intellectual Property and such other materials evidencing or reports pertaining to the Intellectual Property as the Agent may from time to time reasonably request;

(vii) not incorporate into any proprietary software licensed or distributed by Borrower that is material to generating revenue any third-party code that is licensed pursuant to any open source license, in a manner that would require or condition the use or distribution of such software on, the disclosing, licensing or distribution of any Borrower source code; and

(viii) not enter into any Intellectual Property license material to the conduct of the business of Borrower unless Borrower has used commercially reasonable efforts to permit the assignment of or grant of a security interest in such license to the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

(b) In accordance with the terms of this Agreement, if Borrower shall at any time after the date hereof (A) obtain any rights to any additional Intellectual Property or (B) become entitled to the benefit of any additional Intellectual Property or any registration, renewal or extension thereof, including any reissue, division, continuation, or continuation-in-part of any Intellectual Property or any improvement on any Intellectual Property the provisions hereof shall automatically apply thereto.

(c) Borrower shall commence and prosecute such applications for protection of the Intellectual Property material to its business and suits, proceedings or other actions

 

-16-


to prevent the infringement, misappropriation, counterfeiting, unfair competition, dilution, diminution in value or other damage as are necessary to protect such Intellectual Property. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Lenders shall have the right but shall in no way be obligated to file applications for protection of the Intellectual Property and/or bring suit in the name of Borrower or the Lenders to enforce the Intellectual Property and any license thereunder.

2.12 Future Intellectual Property. To the extent not already disclosed in writing to the Lenders, if Borrower (i) obtains any Patent, registered Trademark, registered Copyright, registered mask work, or any pending application for any of the foregoing, whether as owner, licensee or otherwise, or (ii) applies for any Patent or the registration of any Trademark, then Borrower shall disclose the foregoing to the Agent and shall execute such intellectual property security agreements and other documents and take such other actions as the Agent may request in its good faith business judgment to perfect and maintain a perfected security interest in favor of the Secured Parties in such property. If Borrower decides to register any Copyrights or mask work in the United States Copyright Office, Borrower shall: (i) provide the Agent with at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice of Borrower’s intent to register such Copyrights or mask works together with a copy of the application it intends to file with the United States Copyright Office (excluding exhibits thereto); (ii) execute an intellectual property security agreement and such other documents and take such other actions as the Agent may request in their good faith business judgment to perfect and maintain a perfected security interest in favor of the Secured Parties in the Copyrights or mask works intended to be registered with the United States Copyright Office; and (iii) record such intellectual property security agreement with the United States Copyright Office contemporaneously with filing the Copyright or mask work application(s) with the United States Copyright Office. Borrower shall promptly provide to the Agent copies of all applications that it files for Patents or for the registration of Trademarks, Copyrights or mask works, together with evidences of the recording of the intellectual property security agreement required for the Agent to perfect and maintain a perfected security interest in such property.

2.13 Patriot Act. Borrower hereby acknowledges that the Agent and the Lenders seek to comply with all applicable laws concerning money laundering and related activities. In furtherance of those efforts, Borrower hereby represents, warrants and agrees that: (i) none of the cash or property that Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries will pay or will contribute to the Agent or the Lenders has been or shall be derived from, or related to, any activity of Borrower or its Subsidiaries that is deemed criminal under United States law; and (ii) no contribution or payment by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to the Agent or the Lenders, to the extent that they are within Borrower’s and/or its Subsidiaries’ control shall cause the Agent or any Lender to be in violation of the United States Bank Secrecy Act, the United States International Money Laundering Control Act of 1986 or the United States International Money Laundering Abatement and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act of 2001. Borrower shall promptly notify the Agent if any of these representations ceases to be true and accurate regarding either Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. Borrower agrees to provide the Agent any additional information regarding either Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that the Agent deem necessary or reasonably convenient to ensure compliance with all applicable laws concerning money laundering and similar activities. Borrower understands and agrees that if at any time it is discovered that any of the foregoing representations are incorrect, or if otherwise required by applicable law or

 

-17-


regulation related to money laundering similar activities, the Agent or the Lenders may undertake appropriate actions to ensure compliance with applicable law or regulation. Borrower further understands that the Agent and/or the Lenders may release confidential information about either Borrower and its Subsidiaries and, if applicable, any underlying beneficial owners, to proper authorities if the Agent and/or the Lenders in its sole discretion, determines that it is in the best interests of the Agent and/or the Lenders to do so under the laws set forth in subsection (ii) above.

2.14 Payment of Taxes and Claims. Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, pay (i) all Taxes imposed upon it or any of its properties or assets or in respect of any of its income, businesses or franchises before any penalty or fine accrues thereon and (ii) all claims (including claims for labor, services, materials and supplies) for sums that have become due and payable and that by law have or may become a Lien (other than a Permitted Encumbrance) upon any of their respective properties or assets, prior to the time when any penalty or fine shall be incurred with respect thereto; provided, no such Tax or claim need be paid if it is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings promptly instituted and diligently conducted, so long as (a) adequate reserve or other appropriate provision, as shall be required in conformity with GAAP, shall have been made therefor and (b) in the case of a Tax or claim which has or may become a Lien (other than a Lien for Taxes and claims not yet due and payable) against any of the Collateral, such contest proceedings conclusively operate to stay the sale of any portion of the Collateral to satisfy such material Tax or claim.

2.15 Receivables Collateral.

(a) Each Borrower shall keep and maintain at its own cost and expense complete records of each Account, including records of all payments received, all credits granted thereon, all merchandise returned and all other documentation relating thereto. Each Borrower shall, at such Borrower’s sole cost and expense, upon the Agent’s demand made at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, deliver copies of all tangible evidence of Accounts, including copies of all documents evidencing Accounts and any books and records relating thereto to the Lenders or to their representatives.

-39-


sales, in the over-the-counter market, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of any Lender or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best in its sole discretion, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Agent shall have the right, without notice or publication, to adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for such sale, and any such sale may be made at any time or place to which the same may be adjourned without further notice.

(b) Borrower recognizes that the Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Pledged Interests, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the Agent and the Secured Parties than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely by virtue of being a private sale. The Agent and the Secured Parties shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Interests for the period of time necessary to permit Borrower or any Issuer to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under applicable state securities laws, even if Borrower or Issuer would agree to do so.

Borrower further shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be reasonably necessary to make any sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Interests pursuant to this Section 6.6 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other requirements of applicable law. Borrower further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 6.6 will cause irreparable injury to the Agent and the Secured Parties, that the Agent and the Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 6.6 shall be specifically enforceable against Borrower, and Borrower hereby waives, to the extent permitted by law, and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred under this Agreement, or any defense relating to the Agent’s or the Secured Parties’ willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence.

(c) No Secured Party shall incur any liability as a result of the sale of any Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale conducted in a commercially reasonable manner, it being agreed that some or all of the Collateral is or may be of one or more types that threaten to decline speedily in value and that are not customarily sold in a

 

-40-


recognized market. Borrower hereby waives, to the extent permitted by law, any claims against the Agent and the Secured Parties arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any of the Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Obligations, even if the Agent or the Secured Parties accept the first offer received and does not offer any Collateral to more than one offeree, provided that the Agent and the Secured Parties have acted in a commercially reasonable manner in conducting such private sale.

(d) Borrower agrees that no Secured Party shall have any general duty or obligation to make any effort to obtain or pay any particular price for any Pledged Interests or other Collateral sold by the Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement. The Secured Parties, may, in their sole discretion, among other things, accept the first offer received, or decide to approach or not to approach any potential purchasers.

(e) Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value, or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market (in which event the Agent shall provide Borrower with such notice as may be practicable under the circumstances), the Agent shall give Borrower at least ten (10) days prior written notice of the date, time, and place of any proposed public sale, and of the date after which any private sale or other disposition of the Collateral may be made. Borrower agrees that such written notice shall satisfy all requirements for notice to Borrower which are imposed under the Code or other applicable law with respect to the Agent’s exercise of the Agent’s rights and remedies upon default.

exclusive of any rights or remedies which it would otherwise have. No delay or omission by the Agent in exercising or enforcing any of the Agent’s Rights and Remedies shall operate as, or constitute, a waiver thereof. No waiver by the Agent of any Event of Default or of any default under any other agreement shall operate as a waiver of any other default hereunder or under any other agreement. No single or partial exercise of any of the Agent’s Rights or Remedies, and no express or implied agreement or transaction of whatever nature entered into between the Agent and any person, at any time, shall preclude the other or further exercise of the Agent’s Rights and Remedies. No waiver by the Agent of any of the Agent’s Rights and Remedies on any one occasion shall be deemed a waiver on any subsequent occasion, nor shall it be deemed a continuing waiver. All of the Agent’s Rights and Remedies and all of the Agent’s rights, remedies, powers, privileges, and discretions under any other agreement or transaction are cumulative, and not alternative or exclusive, and may be exercised by the Agent at such time or times and in such order of preference as the Agent in its sole discretion may determine. The Agent’s Rights and Remedies may be exercised without resort or regard to any other source of satisfaction of the Obligations.

The obligations of the Lenders shall survive payment and performance of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. All payments under this indemnity shall be made to the Agent within ten (10) Business Days after any demand for such payment that is accompanied by a description of the amounts so payable.

If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders within thirty days after the resigning Agent’s giving notice of its intention to resign, then the resigning Agent may appoint, on behalf of Borrower and the Lenders, a successor Agent. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the Agent may at any time without the consent of Borrower or any Lender, appoint any of its Affiliates as a successor Agent hereunder. If the Agent has resigned or been removed and no successor Agent has been appointed, the Lenders may perform all the duties of the Agent hereunder and Borrower shall make all payments in respect of the Obligations to the applicable Lender and for all other purposes shall deal directly with the Lenders. Upon the effectiveness of the resignation or removal of the Agent, the resigning or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents.

WINMARK CAPITAL CORPORATION

Lease Agreement Number FI110812

Lease Agreement

This Lease Agreement, dated November 8, 2012, by and between WINMARK CAPITAL CORPORATION, a Minnesota Corporation (the “Lessor”), with an office located at 605 Highway 169 N, Suite 400, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55441, and FIVE9, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES (the “Lessee”) with an office located at 4000 Executive Parkway, Suite 400, San Ramon, California 94583

Lessor hereby leases or grants to the Lessee the right to use and Lessee hereby rents and accepts the right to use the equipment listed by serial number and related services, and software and related services on the Lease Schedule(s) attached hereto or incorporated herein by reference from time to time (collectively, the equipment, software and services are the “Equipment”), subject to the terms and conditions hereof, as supplemented with respect to each item of Equipment by the terms and conditions set forth in the appropriate Lease Schedule. The term “Lease Agreement” shall include this Lease Agreement and the various Lease Schedule(s) identifying each item of Equipment or the appropriate Lease Schedule(s) identifying one or more particular items of Equipment.

 

1. Term

This Lease Agreement is effective from the date it is executed by both parties. The term of this Lease Agreement, as to all Equipment designated on any particular Lease Schedule, shall commence on the Installation Date for all Equipment on such Lease Schedule and shall continue for an initial period ending that number of months from the Commencement Date as set forth in such Lease Schedule (the “Initial Term”) and shall continue from year to year thereafter until terminated. The term of this Lease Agreement as to all Equipment designated on any particular Lease Schedule may be terminated without cause at the end of the Initial Term or any year thereafter by either party mailing written notice of its termination to the other party not less than one-hundred twenty (120) days prior to such termination date.

2. Commencement Date

The Installation Date for each item of Equipment shall be the day said item of Equipment is installed at the location of Installation, ready for use, and accepted in writing by the Lessee. The Commencement Date for any Lease Schedule is the first of the month following installation of all the Equipment on the Lease Schedule, unless the latest installation Date for any Equipment on the Lease Schedule falls on the first day of the month, in which case that is the Commencement Date. The Lessee agrees to complete, execute and deliver a Certificate of Acceptance to Lessor upon installation of the Equipment.

3. Lease Charge

The lease charges for the Equipment leased pursuant to this Lease Agreement shall be the aggregate “Monthly Lease Charge(s)” as set forth on each and every Lease Schedule executed pursuant hereto (the aggregate “Monthly Lease Charge(s)” are the “Lease Charges”). Lessee agrees to pay to Lessor the Lease Charges in accordance with the Lease Schedule(s), and the payments shall be made at Lessor’s address indicated thereon. The Lease Charges shall be paid by Lessee monthly in advance with the first full month’s payment due on the Commencement Date. The Lease Charge for the period from the Installation Date to the Commencement Date (the “Installation Period”) shall be an amount equal to the “Monthly Lease Charge” divided by thirty (30) and multiplied by the number of days from and including the Installation Date to the Commencement Date, and such amount shall be due and payable upon receipt of an invoice from Lessor. Charges for taxes made in accordance with Section 4 and charges made under any other provision of this Lease Agreement and payable by Lessee shall be paid to Lessor at Lessor’s address specified on the Lease Schedule(s) on the date specified in invoices delivered to Lessee. If payment, as specified above, is not received by Lessor on the due date, Lessee agrees to and shall pay, to the extent permitted by law, on demand, as a late charge, an amount equal to two and one-half percent (2 12%), or the maximum percentage allowed by law if less, of the amount past due (“Late Charges”). Late Charges will accrue until billed by Lessor. Late Charges shall be charged and added to any past due amount(s) on the date such payment is due and every thirty (30) days thereafter until all past due amounts are paid in full to Lessor.

4. Taxes

In addition to the Lease Charges set forth in Section 3, the Lessee shall reimburse Lessor for all license or registration fees, assessments, sales and use taxes, rental taxes, gross receipts taxes, personal property taxes and other taxes now or hereafter imposed by any government, agency, province or otherwise upon the Equipment, the Lease Charges or upon the ownership, leasing, renting, purchase, possession or use of the Equipment, whether the same be assessed to Lessor or Lessee (the “Taxes”). Lessor shall file all property tax returns and pay all Taxes when due. Lessee, upon notice to Lessor, may, in Lessees own name, contest or protest any Taxes, and Lessor shall honor any such notice except when in Lessor’s sole opinion such contest is futile or will cause a levy or lien to arise on the Equipment or cloud Lessor’s title thereto. Lessee shall, in addition, be responsible to Lessor for the payment and discharge of any penalties or interest as a result of Lessee’s actions or inactions. Nothing herein shall be construed to require Lessee to be responsible for any federal or state taxes or payments in lieu thereof, imposed upon or measured by the net income of Lessor, or state franchise taxes of Lessor, or except as provided hereinabove, any penalties or interest resulting from Lessor’s failure to timely remit such tax payments.

5. Delivery and Freight Costs

Lessee shall accept delivery of and install the Equipment before such time as the applicable vendor requires payment for such Equipment.

All transportation charges upon the Equipment for delivery to Lessee’s designated Location of Installation are to be paid by the Lessee. All rigging, drayage charges, structural alterations, rental of heavy equipment and/or other expense necessary to place the Equipment at the Location of Installation are to be promptly paid by Lessee.

6. Installation

Lessee agrees to pay for the actual installation of the Equipment at Lessee’s site. Lessee shall make available and agrees to pay for all costs associated with providing a suitable place of installation and necessary electrical power, outlets and air conditioning required for operating the Equipment as defined in the Equipment manufacturer’s installation manual or instructions. All supplies consumed or required by the Equipment shall be furnished and paid for by Lessee.

7. Return to Lessor

On the day following the last day of the lease term associated with a Lease Schedule (the “Return Date”), Lessee shall cause and pay for the Equipment on that Lease Schedule to be deinstalled, packed using the manufacturer’s standard packing materials and shipped to a location designated in writing by Lessor (the “Return Location”). If the Equipment on the applicable Lease Schedule is not at the Return Location within ten (10) days of the Return Date, or Lessee fails to deinstall and ship the Equipment on the Return Date, then any written notice of termination delivered by

Lessee shall become void, and the Lease Schedule shall continue in accordance with this Lease Agreement. Irrespective of any other provision hereof, Lessee will bear the risk of damage from fire, the elements or otherwise until delivery of the Equipment to the Return Location. At such time as the Equipment is delivered to the Lessor at the Return Location, the Equipment will be at the risk of Lessor.

8. Maintenance

Lessee, at its sole expense, shall maintain the Equipment in good working order and condition. Lessee shall enter into, pay for and maintain in force during the entire term of any Lease Schedule, a maintenance agreement with the manufacturer of the Equipment providing for continuous uninterrupted maintenance of the Equipment (the “Maintenance Agreement”). Lessee will cause the manufacturer to keep the Equipment in good working order in accordance with the provisions of the Maintenance Agreement and make all necessary adjustments and repairs to the Equipment. The manufacturer is hereby authorized to accept the directions of Lessee with respect thereto. Lessee agrees to allow the manufacturer full and free access to the Equipment. All maintenance and service charges, whether under the Maintenance Agreement or otherwise, and all expenses, if any, of the manufacturer’s customer engineers incurred in connection with maintenance and repair services, shall be promptly paid by Lessee. Lessee warrants that all of the Equipment shall be in good working order operating according to manufacturer’s specification and eligible for the manufacturer’s standard maintenance agreement upon delivery to and inspection and testing by the Lessor. If the Equipment is not free of physical defect or damage, operating according to manufacturer’s specification, in good working order and/or eligible for the manufacturer’s standard maintenance agreement, then Lessee agrees to reimburse Lessor for all costs, losses, expenses and fees associated with such equipment and the repair or replacement thereof.

9. Location, Ownership and Use

The Equipment shall, at all times, be the sole and exclusive property of Lessor. Lessee shall have no right or property interest therein, except for the right to use the Equipment in the normal operation of its business at the Location of Installation, or as otherwise provided herein. The Equipment is and shall remain personal property even if installed in or attached to real property. Lessor shall be permitted to display notice of its ownership on the Equipment by means of a suitable stencil, label or plaque affixed thereto.

Lessee shall keep the Equipment at all times free and clear from all claims, levies, encumbrances and process. Lessee shall give Lessor immediate notice of any such attachment or other judicial process affecting any of the Equipment. Without Lessor’s written permission, Lessee shall not attempt to or actually (i) pledge, lend, create a security interest in, sublet, exchange, trade, assign, swap, use for an allowance or credit or otherwise; (ii) allow another to use; (iii) part with possession; (iv) dispose of; or (v) remove from the Location of Installation, any item of Equipment. If any item of Equipment is exchanged, assigned, traded, swapped, used for an allowance or

 

 

Page 2 of 7

   v.00.3


credit or otherwise to acquire new or different equipment (the “New Equipment”) without Lessor’s prior written consent, then all of the New Equipment shall become Equipment owned by Lessor subject to this Lease Agreement and the applicable Lease Schedule.

Any feature(s) installed on the Equipment at the time of delivery which are not specified on the Lease Schedule(s) are and shall remain the sole property of the Lessor.

Lessee shall cause the Equipment to be operated in accordance with all applicable laws and with the applicable vendor’s or manufacturer’s manual of instructions by competent and qualified personnel.

10. Financing Statement

Lessor is hereby authorized by Lessee to cause this Lease Agreement or other instruments, including Uniform Commercial Code Financing Statements, to be filed or recorded for the purposes of showing Lessor’s interest in the Equipment. Lessee agrees to execute any such instruments as Lessor may request from time to time.

11. Alterations and Attachments

Upon prior written notice to Lessor, Lessee may, at its own expense, make minor alterations in or add attachments to the Equipment, provided such alterations and attachments shall not interfere with the normal operation of the Equipment and do not otherwise involve the pledge, assignment, exchange, trade or substitution of the Equipment or any component or part thereof. All such alterations and attachments to the Equipment shall become part of the Equipment leased to Lessee and owned by Lessor. If, in Lessor’s sole determination, the alteration or attachment reduces the value of the Equipment or interferes with the normal and satisfactory operation or maintenance of any of the Equipment, or creates a safety hazard, Lessee shall, upon notice from Lessor to that effect, promptly remove the alteration or attachment at Lessee’s expense and restore the Equipment to the condition the Equipment was in just prior to the alteration or attachment.

12. Loss and Damage

Lessee shall assume and bear the risk of loss, theft and damage (including any governmental requisition, condemnation or confiscation) to the Equipment and all component parts thereof from any and every cause whatsoever, whether or not covered by insurance. No loss or damage to the Equipment or any component part thereof shall impair any obligation of Lessee under this Lease Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect except as hereinafter expressly provided. Lessee shall repair or cause to be repaired all damage to the Equipment. In the event that all or part of the Equipment shall, as a result of any cause whatsoever, become lost, stolen, destroyed or otherwise rendered irreparably unusable or damaged (collectively, the “Loss”) then Lessee shall, within ten (10) days after the Loss, fully inform Lessor in writing of such a Loss and shall pay to Lessor the following amounts: (i) the Monthly Lease Charges (and other amounts) due and owing under this Lease Agreement at the time of the Loss, plus (ii) the applicable percent of the original cost of the Equipment subject to the Loss (or Event of Default, as defined hereinafter) shown on

the casualty loss table part of a particular Lease Schedule (collectively, the sum of (i) plus (ii) shall be the “Casualty Loss Value”). Upon receipt by Lessor of the Casualty Loss Value: (i) the applicable Equipment shall be removed from the Lease Schedule and (ii) Lessee’s obligation to pay Lease Charges associated with the applicable Equipment shall cease. Lessor may request, and Lessee shall complete, an affidavit(s) which swears out the facts supporting the Loss of any item of Equipment.

13. Insurance

Until the Equipment is returned to Lessor or as otherwise herein provided, whether or not this Lease Agreement has terminated as to the Equipment, Lessee, at its expense, shall maintain: (i) property and casualty insurance insuring the Equipment for its Casualty Loss Value and naming Lessor and its assigns as the sole loss payee; and (ii) comprehensive public liability and third-party property insurance in such amounts and with such limits as Lessor may require and naming Lessor and its assigns as an additional insured. The insurance shall cover the interest of both the Lessor and Lessee in the Equipment, or as the case may be, shall protect both the Lessor and Lessee in respect to all risks arising out of the condition, delivery, installation, maintenance, use or operation of the Equipment. All such insurance shall provide for thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lessor of cancellation, restriction, or reduction of coverage. Lessee hereby irrevocably appoints Lessor as Lessee’s attorney-in-fact to make claim for, receive payment of and execute and endorse all documents, checks or drafts for loss or damage or return premium under any insurance policy issued on the Equipment. Prior to installation of the Equipment, all policies or certificates of insurance shall be delivered to Lessor by Lessee. Lessee agrees to keep the Equipment insured with an insurance company which is at least “A” rated by A.M. Best. The proceeds of any loss or damage insurance shall be payable to Lessor, but Lessor shall remit all such insurance proceeds to Lessee at such time as Lessee either (i) provides Lessor satisfactory proof that the damage has been repaired and the Equipment has been restored to good working order and condition or (ii) pays to Lessor the Casualty Loss Value. It is understood and agreed that any payments made by Lessee or its insurance carrier for loss or damage of any kind whatsoever to the Equipment are not made as accelerated rental payments or adjustments of rental, but are made solely as indemnity to Lessor for loss or damage of its Equipment.

14. Enforcement of Warranties

Lessee, in its own name, shall, so long as this Lease Agreement is in force, enforce any manufacturer’s Equipment warranty.

15. Warranties, Disclaimers and Indemnity

Lessor warrants that at the time the Equipment is delivered to Lessee, Lessor will have full right, power and authority to lease the Equipment to Lessee. EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTY IN THE SENTENCE DIRECTLY PRECEDING THIS ONE, THE LESSOR DOES NOT MAKE ANY WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY

PARTICULAR PURPOSE. LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS NOT RELYING ON LESSOR’S SKILL OR JUDGMENT TO SELECT OR FURNISH GOODS SUITABLE FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND THAT THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES CONTAINED IN THIS LEASE AGREEMENT.

LESSOR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE LESSOR AND LESSEE, THIS LEASE AGREEMENT OR THE PERFORMANCE, POSSESSION, LEASE OR USE OF THE EQUIPMENT. THIS LEASE AGREEMENT IS A “FINANCE LEASE” AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED AND USED IN ARTICLE 2A OF THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE. NO RIGHTS OR REMEDIES REFERRED TO IN ARTICLE 2A OF THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE WILL BE CONFERRED ON LESSEE.

Lessee agrees that Lessor shall not be liable to Lessee for, and Lessee shall indemnify, defend and hold Lessor harmless with respect to, any claim from a third party for any liability, claim, loss, damage or expense of any kind or nature, whether based upon a theory of strict liability or otherwise, caused, directly or indirectly, by: (i) the inadequacy of any item of Equipment, including software, for any purpose; (ii) any deficiency or any latent or other defects in any Equipment, including software, whether or not detectable by Lessee; (iii) the selection, manufacture, rejection, ownership, lease, possession, maintenance, operation, use or performance of any item of Equipment, including software; (iv) any interruption or loss of service, use or performance of any item of Equipment, including software; (v) patent, trademark or copyright infringement; or (vi) any loss of business or other special, incidental or consequential damages whether or not resulting from any of the foregoing.

Upon repossession of the Equipment, Lessor shall have the right to lease, sell or otherwise dispose of such Equipment in a commercially reasonable manner, with or without notice, at a public or private pale. Lessor’s pursuit and enforcement of any one or more remedies shall not be deemed an election or waiver by Lessor of any other remedy. Lessor shall not be obligated to sell or re-lease the Equipment. Any sale or re-lease may be held at such place or places as are selected by Lessor, with or without having the Equipment present. Any such sale or re-lease, may be at wholesale or retail, in bulk or in parcels. Time and exactitude of each of the terms and conditions of this Lease Agreement are hereby declared to be of the essence. Lessor may accept past due payments in any amount without modifying the terms of this Lease Agreement and without waiving any rights of Lessor hereunder.

18. Costs and Attorneys’ Fees

In the event of any default, claim, proceeding, including a bankruptcy proceeding, arbitration, mediation, counter-claim, action (whether legal or equitable), appeal or otherwise, whether initiated by Lessor or Lessee (or a debtor-in-possession or bankruptcy trustee), which arises out of, under, or is related in any way to this Lease Agreement, any Lease Schedule, or any other document, agreement or instrument executed pursuant hereto or in connection herewith, or any governmental examination or investigation of Lessee, which requires Lessor’s participation (individually and collectively, the “Claim”), Lessee, in addition to ail other sums which Lessee may be called upon to pay under the provisions of this Lease Agreement, shall pay to Lessor, on demand, all costs, expenses and fees paid or payable in connection with the Claim, including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and out-of-pocket costs, including travel and related expenses incurred by Lessor or its attorneys.

19. Lessor’s Performance Option

Should Lessee fail to make any payment or to do any act as provided by this Lease Agreement, then Lessor shall have the right (but not the obligation), without notice to Lessee of its intention to do so and without releasing Lessee from any obligation hereunder to make or to do the same, to make advances to preserve the Equipment or Lessor’s title thereto, and to pay, purchase, contest or compromise any insurance premium, encumbrance, charge, tax, lien or other sum which in the judgment of Lessor appears to affect the Equipment, and in exercising any such rights, Lessor may incur any liability and expend whatever amounts in its absolute discretion it may deem necessary therefor. All sums so incurred or expended by Lessor shall be due and payable by Lessee within ten (10) days of notice thereof.

20. Quiet Possession and Inspection

Lessor hereby covenants with Lessee that Lessee shall quietly possess the Equipment subject to and in accordance with the provisions hereof so long as Lessee is not in default hereunder; provided, however, that Lessor or its designated agent may, at any and all reasonable times by appointment during business hours, enter Lessee’s premises for the purposes of inspecting the Equipment and the manner in which it is being used.

   v.00.3


21. Assignments

This Lease Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. LESSEE, HOWEVER, SHALL NOT ASSIGN THIS LEASE AGREEMENT OR SUBLET ANY OF THE EQUIPMENT WITHOUT FIRST OBTAINING THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF LESSOR AND ITS ASSIGNS, IF ANY. Lessee acknowledges that the terms and conditions of this Lease Agreement have been fixed in anticipation of the possible assignment of Lessor’s rights under this Lease Agreement and in and to the Equipment as collateral security to a third party (“Assignee” herein) which will rely upon and be entitled to the benefit of the provisions of this Lease Agreement. Lessee agrees with Lessor and such Assignee to recognize in writing any such assignment within fifteen (15) days after receipt of written notice thereof and to pay thereafter all sums due to Lessor hereunder directly to such Assignee if directed by Lessor, notwithstanding any defense, set-off or counterclaim whatsoever (whether arising from a breach of this Lease Agreement or not) that Lessee may from time to time have against Lessor. Upon such assignment, the Lessor shall remain obligated to perform any obligations it may have under this Lease Agreement and the Assignee shall (unless otherwise expressly agreed to in writing by the Assignee) have no obligation to perform such obligation’s. Any such assignment shall be subject to Lessee’s rights to use and possess the Equipment so long as Lessee is not in default hereunder.

22. Survival of Obligations

All covenants, agreements, representations, and warranties contained in this Lease Agreement, any Lease Schedule, or in any document attached thereto, shall be for the benefit of Lessor and Lessee and their successors, any assignee or secured party. Further, all covenants, agreements, representations, and warranties contained in this Lease Agreement, any Lease Schedule, or in any document attached thereto, shall survive the execution and delivery of this Lease Agreement and the expiration or other termination of this Lease Agreement.

23. Corporate Authority

The parties hereto covenant and warrant that the persons executing this Lease Agreement and each Lease Schedule on their behalf have been duly authorized to do so, and this Lease Agreement and any Lease Schedule constitute a valid and binding obligation of the parties hereto. The Lessee will, if requested by Lessor, provide to Lessor, Certificates of Authority naming the officers of the Lessee who have the authority to execute this Lease Agreement and any Lease Schedules attached thereto.

24. Landlords’ and Mortgagees’ Waiver

If requested, Lessee shall furnish waivers, in form and substance satisfactory to Lessor, from all landlords and mortgagees of any premises upon which any Equipment is located.

 

25. Miscellaneous

This Lease Agreement, the Lease Schedule(s), attached riders and any documents or instruments issued or executed pursuant hereto will have been made, executed and delivered in, and shall be governed by the internal laws (as opposed to conflicts of law provisions) and decisions of, the State of Minnesota. Lessee and Lessor consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of any local, state or federal court located within Minnesota. Venue must be in Minnesota and Lessee hereby waives local venue and any objection relating to Minnesota being an improper venue to conduct any proceeding relating to this Lease Agreement. At Lessor’s sole election and determination, Lessor may select an alternative forum, including arbitration or mediation, to adjudicate any dispute arising out of this Lease Agreement. LESSOR AND LESSEE HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO WHICH LESSEE AND/OR LESSOR MAY BE PARTIES ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY PERTAINING TO THIS LEASE.

This Lease Agreement was jointly drafted by the parties, and the parties hereby agree that neither should be favored in the construction, interpretation or application of any provision or any ambiguity. There are no unwritten or oral agreements between the parties. This Lease Agreement and associated Lease Schedule(s) constitute the entire understanding and agreement between Lessor and Lessee with respect to the lease of the Equipment superseding all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations, discussions, proposals, representations, promises, commitments and offers between the parties, whether oral or written. No provision of this Lease Agreement or any Lease Schedule shall be deemed waived, amended, discharged or modified orally or by custom, usage or course of conduct unless such waiver, amendment or modification is in writing and signed by an officer of each of the parties hereto. If any one or more of the provisions of this Lease Agreement or any Lease Schedule is for any reason held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Lease Agreement and any such Lease Schedule will be unimpaired, and the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions shall be replaced by a mutually acceptable valid, legal and enforceable provision that is closest to the original intention of the parties. Lessee agrees that neither the manufacturer, nor the supplier, nor any of their salespersons, employees or agents are agents of Lessor.

Any notice provided for herein shall be in writing and sent by certified or registered mail to the parties at the addresses stated on page 1 of this Lease Agreement.

The Monthly Lease Charge is intended to be fixed from the Commencement Date to the end of the term. The three year treasury rate is an integral part of the lease rate. The Lessee and Lessor agree that the lease rate shall also be fixed during the Installation Period but should the three year treasury note increase during such Installation Period, the lease rate will be adjusted on the Commencement Date.

Lessor is entitled to review a complete set of Lessee’s financial statements, including a statement of cash flows, balance sheet and income statement, and any other financial information that Lessor may request. If during the Installation Period the Lessee’s financial condition changes in any material respect (as

 

 

Page 6 of 7

   v.00.3


determined by the Lessor in its sole discretion), then Lessor shall be entitled to stop purchasing equipment to be leased to Lessee and commence the applicable lease schedule(s).

There shall be one original of this Lease Agreement and of each Lease Schedule and it shall be marked “Original.” To the extent that any Lease Schedule constitutes chattel paper (as that term is defined by the Uniform Commercial Code), a security interest may only be created in the Lease Schedule marked “Original.”

This Lease Agreement shall not become effective until delivered to Lessor at its offices and executed by Lessor. If this Lease Agreement shall be executed by Lessor prior to being executed by Lessee, it shall become void at Lessor’s option five (5) days after the date of Lessor’s execution hereof, unless Lessor shall have received by such date a copy hereof executed by a duly authorized representative of Lessee.

This Lease Agreement is made subject to the terms and conditions included herein and Lessee’s acceptance is effective only to the extent that such terms and conditions are consistent with the terms and conditions herein. Any acceptance which contains terms and conditions which are in addition to or inconsistent with the terms and conditions herein will be a counter-offer and will not be binding unless agreed to in writing by Lessor.

Re: LEASE LINE LETTER AGREEMENT

Dear Mr. Klosterman,

This Lease Line Letter Agreement (“Agreement”) between Fountain Leasing 2010 LP (“Lessor”) and Five9, Inc. (“Lessee”), sets forth certain legally binding terms governing the leasing of Equipment under that certain Master Lease Agreement together with any lease Schedules as defined in the Master Lease Agreement numbered MLA-F2010-CA-001-01 between Lessor and Lessee of even date herewith, collectively referred to as (the “Lease”). This Agreement must be read in conjunction with the Lease and any conflict between the Lease and this Agreement shall be governed by the Lease. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings given such terms in the Lease.

 

Equipment:    Servers, Audio Code Boards, Switches Storage and Software
Lease Line Amount:    Up to $3,400,000
Term:    36 Months
Lease Rate Factor:    3.20% per month
Security Deposit:    If Lessee requests application Software and/or Storage to be added to a lease schedule, Lessor shall require a security deposit of twenty percent (20.0%) of the total cost of the Equipment on such schedule if such Software exceeds five percent (5%) or such storage exceeds ten percent (10%) of the total cost of the Equipment on a single lease schedule. After Lessor has already leased Servers, Audio Code Boards and Switches totaling in aggregate more than $350,000, Lessee may request on a lease schedule Storage and Software up to fifteen percent (15%) of the total cost of all Equipment on such lease schedule, provided, however that such request may not contain Software totaling in aggregate more than five percent (5%) of the total cost of all Equipment on such lease schedule. As consideration for this and other terms contained herein Lessee promises to use its reasonable best efforts to submit a request to lease Equipment that has been or will be delivered to Lessee by December 30, 2010 with the related Lease Schedule having an Effective Date of December 30, 2010, provided that Lessor offers its Master Lease Agreement and formal Lease Line Agreement no later than December 21, 2010.

 

   CONFIDENTIAL    Page 1 of 4


Draw Window:    Through March 31, 2012 unless extended by the parties.
Mechanics:    Lessee may offer Equipment to Lessor that has been ordered or delivered to Lessee provided that such Equipment has been delivered to Lessee no later than 90 days from the Effective Date of the Lease Schedule; that is the date that Lessor pays for Equipment and begins billing for rent on such Equipment.
Advance Rent:    First and any partial month’s payment are due at the beginning of each lease schedule.
End of Lease Options:      As defined in the Lease.
Minimum Schedule:    The minimum schedule size is $100,000. Lessor will continue to add purchased equipment to the then open lease schedule until the earlier of either the lease schedule totaling $100,000 or more or the end of the Draw Window. Any lease schedule less than $100,000 is subject to a processing fee equal to Nine Hundred and Fifty Dollars ($950).
Transaction Costs:    Lessee will reimburse Lessor for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs related to this transaction including UCC search, filing, insurance, and legal costs (if any). UCC search, filing and insurance are estimated at not to exceed $900 for every $1,000,000 lease schedule. Initial UCC search costs are expected to not exceed $250. Legal costs will not exceed $2,500 without Lessee’s prior written consent.
Documentation Fee:    A fee to cover the cost of documenting each lease schedule of $400 will apply for each lease schedule.
Financial Reporting:    As defined in the Lease.
Defaults under Lease:    If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Lease, Lessee may not make any additions to or provide any new lease schedules. If such Event of Default has been cured by Lessee within 30 days, Lessee and Lessor may agree that Lessee may resume making additions to and providing new lease schedules.

 

   CONFIDENTIAL    Page 2 of 4


Cross Defaults:    Lessee shall disclose to Lessor, and continue to keep Lessor informed for so long as amounts are owed to Lessor, the terms of any events of default and remedies thereof. Default for non-payment on any debt whose future minimum payments exceed $500,000 shall constitute an event of default on the Lease. A default for something other than payment on any debt whose future minimum payments exceed $500,000 shall constitute an event of default on the Lease except that no remedies will be exercised by Lessor without first providing Lessee the lesser of 90 days or the number of days allowed by the subject creditor for the Lessee to cure such default. Lessor shall not be required to fund new leases during any time in which Lessee has defaulted on any obligation whose future minimum payments exceed $500,000.
Unused Line Fee:    A good faith deposit of One Percent (1.0%) of the Lease Line Amount is required. $7,500 has been received by Lessor. Should Lessor not move forward with the transaction substantially as summarized in this letter by December 21, 2010, this Unused Line Fee less the greater of any Transaction Costs incurred with prior approval by Lessee will be immediately refunded to Lessee. Should Lessee decide not to move forward with this transaction substantially as summarized in this letter, the Unused Line Fee will be retained and deemed earned by the Lessor. Should Lessor and Lessee agree to move forward with the proposed equipment lease, the Unused Line Fee shall be applied ratably to the first lease payment of each lease schedule. The outstanding $26,500 balance due on the Unused Line Fee will be payable upon execution of the Master Lease Agreement but in no event later than December 30, 2010. Any portion of Unused Line Fee not applied to any lease payment by the end of the Draw Window shall be deemed earned by Lessor at that time. Any Unused Line Fee not previously applied to a lease payment shall be deemed earned by Lessor in the event of a default for non-payment by Lessee of any lease payment beyond any applicable grace periods.

This is a MASTER LEASE AGREEMENT (herein called “Lease”). Lessor hereby agrees to lease to Lessee, and Lessee hereby agrees to lease from Lessor, the items of tangible and/or intangible property (collectively called “Equipment” and individually called “Item”) described on any Lease Schedule(s) (“Schedule”) now or in the future annexed hereto and made a part hereof, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. Each Schedule annexed hereto incorporates the terms of this Lease and is independent and enforceable as a separate transaction.

1. QUIET ENJOYMENT. So long as no Event of Default (as defined below) shall have occurred and be continuing, , Lessor shall not disturb Lessee’s quiet enjoyment of the Equipment, subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease.

2. NO WARRANTIES AND UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE ACKNOWLEDGMENT. Lessee acknowledges that Lessor is not the manufacturer, vendor, developer, distributor, publisher or licensor (for purposes of this Lease, all of which are called “Manufacturer,” both collectively and individually) of the Equipment. Lessee further acknowledges and agrees that LESSOR MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE, CONDITION, DESIGN, CAPACITY, SUITABILITY OR PERFORMANCE OF ANY OF THE EQUIPMENT, OR ANY OTHER REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WITH RESPECT THERETO, IT BEING AGREED THAT, AS BETWEEN LESSEE AND LESSOR, THE EQUIPMENT IS LEASED “AS IS.” LESSEE FURTHER REPRESENTS THAT ALL ITEMS OF EQUIPMENT ARE OF A SIZE, DESIGN AND CAPACITY SELECTED BY IT, AND THAT IT IS SATISFIED THE SAME ARE SUITABLE FOR LESSEE’S PURPOSES. Lessor assigns to Lessee any and all Manufacturer warranties, to the extent assignable, for the term of the Lease. Lessor shall have no liability to Lessee or anyone claiming through Lessee for the breach of any such warranty or for any claim, loss, damage or expense of any kind or nature resulting, directly or indirectly, from the delivery, installation, use, operation, performance, or lack or inadequacy thereof, of any Item of Equipment. This Lease is a “Finance Lease” as defined in, and for the purpose only of, Division 10 of the California Commercial Code and not necessarily for any accounting or other purpose. Lessee acknowledges that Lessor has informed or advised Lessee, either previously or by this Lease, of the following: (i) the identity of the “Supplier,” unless Lessee has selected the Supplier, (ii) that Lessee may have rights under the “Supply Contract” and (iii) that Lessee may contact the Supplier for a description of any such rights. (The terms “Finance Lease,” “Supplier” and “Supply Contract” as used herein have the meanings ascribed to them under Division 10 of the California Commercial Code.)

3. TERM. The “Commencement Date” for each Item shall be the day that the Item has been delivered to and is usable by Lessee as evidenced by an Acceptance Certificate duly executed by Lessee or, in the absence thereof, the Manufacturer’s delivery certification. The “Base Term” as indicated on any Schedule shall be the period beginning on the first day of the calendar quarter following the Final Commencement Date (“Final Commencement Date”) of the Schedule and continuing for the number of months specified on the Schedule. This Lease with respect to any Schedule may be terminated as of the last day of the Base Term by Lessee in accordance with Section 6. Any termination notice given by Lessee shall stipulate the End of Term Option (as defined below) elected to be exercised by Lessee. Lessor may terminate any Schedule and this Lease immediately, without prior notice, upon the occurrence of a change of control event, in which more than 50% of the outstanding stock or substantially all of the assets of the Lessee are sold to any entity except a Qualified Buyer as defined in Section 15 of this agreement. In the event of a termination due to Lessee change of control to an entity other than a Qualified Buyer, any outstanding balances owed at that time along with all remaining lease payments and the Purchase Option Amount as defined in each Schedule shall be due in full within 30 days of the date of such a change of control event. The “Term” of each individual Schedule is hereby defined as the period beginning on the first Commencement Date that occurs with respect to all Items subject to the Schedule and continuing through the Base Term and all Extension Terms (as defined below), if any. Each Schedule now or in the future annexed hereto shall be deemed to incorporate therein these specific terms and conditions and shall have an independent Term.

4. RENT. The monthly rent as shown on each Schedule for the Base Term shall be due and payable by Lessee in the amount of the monthly rent multiplied by the number of months in the billing cycle indicated on the respective Schedule (one month in a monthly billing cycle, three in a quarterly cycle, six in a biannual cycle, etc.) on the first day of the Base Term and on the first day of each billing cycle thereafter, for the remainder of the Term. For Items having a Commencement Date prior to the first day of the Base Term, rent shall be due on a pro rata basis only in the amount of one-thirtieth of the Item’s proportional monthly rent for each day from the Item’s Commencement Date until, but not including, the first day of the Base Term and, together with any advance rent or security deposit (which shall be non-interest bearing) specified on a Schedule, shall be payable by Lessee five days after receipt of invoice from Lessor. If any rental or other amounts payable hereunder are not paid within five business days of their due date then Lessee shall pay to Lessor upon demand “Delinquency Charges” which shall equal interest compounded monthly at the rate of eighteen percent per annum (or the highest rate allowable by law, whichever is less) on the delinquent balance from the date due until the date paid, plus a monthly administrative fee of five percent of the cumulative delinquent balance to offset Lessor’s collection and accounting costs. Any deposit paid by Lessee to Lessor shall be refundable if the Schedule is not accepted by Lessor. THIS IS A NET LEASE AND LESSEE’S OBLIGATION TO PAY ALL RENTAL CHARGES AND OTHER AMOUNTS DUE HEREUNDER SHALL BE ABSOLUTE AND UNCONDITIONAL UNDER ALL CIRCUMSTANCES AND SHALL NOT BE SUBJECT TO ANY ABATEMENT, DEFENSE, COUNTERCLAIM, SETOFF, RECOUPMENT OR REDUCTION FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED HEREIN, IT BEING THE EXPRESS INTENT OF LESSOR AND LESSEE THAT ALL RENTAL AND OTHER AMOUNTS PAYABLE BY LESSEE HEREUNDER SHALL BE AND CONTINUE TO BE PAYABLE AS PROVIDED HEREIN. LESSEE HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE TO REJECT OR CANCEL THIS LEASE, TO REVOKE ACCEPTANCE OF ANY OF THE EQUIPMENT, AND/OR TO GRANT A SECURITY INTEREST IN ANY OF THE EQUIPMENT FOR ANY REASON EXCEPT AS PERMITTED HEREIN.

5. USE, MAINTENANCE AND LOCATION. Lessee at its own expense shall properly use the Equipment, keep the Equipment in good working order, repair and condition, comply with all Manufacturer’s instructions as to use and operation, and comply with all applicable laws, rules, regulations or orders of any governmental agency with respect to the use, operation, maintenance, care, storage or location of the Equipment. During the Term, Lessee shall keep in force the standard maintenance agreement with the Manufacturer, or such other qualified party, including qualified self-maintenance by Lessee, as is reasonably acceptable to Lessor, that will ensure that: the Equipment is maintained to all current engineering specifications; all repairs, adjustments and replacements are properly made; and subject to Lessee’s commercially reasonable discretion all relevant upgrades, enhancements and changes that are available from time to time from the Manufacturer are made to the Equipment. Lessee shall provide Lessor with locations of all Equipment upon request to Lessee and shall not relocate the Equipment to different premises without Lessor’s prior written consent. Lessee shall pay all reasonable costs associated with the delivery, installation, use, and relocation of the Equipment. If Lessor requests, Lessee shall affix in a prominent place labels or tags to the Equipment stating that the Equipment is owned by Lessor. Lessor or Lessor’s agent may inspect the Equipment upon reasonable notice to Lessee throughout the lease term during any and all hours that Lessee has access to Equipment. If Lessee has not made payment within 10 days after payment is due, Lessor reserves the right to inspect Equipment at any time and Lessee shall be responsible for Lessor’s out of pocket travel expenses or the costs of the hired agent to inspect the Equipment on behalf of the Lessor.

6. END OF TERM OPTIONS. At the expiration of the Base Term of any Schedule, the Lessee may exercise any of the following options described below (the “End of Term Options”) by giving Lessor at least six months, but not more than twelve months, written notice prior to the expiration of the Base Term of the End of Term Option it elects: (i) purchase the Equipment subject to the applicable Schedule (the “Purchase Option”), (ii) extend or renew the Lease for the Equipment subject to the Schedule (the “Renewal Option”), or (iii) return the Equipment to the Lessor (the “Return Option”). If Lessee fails to elect any of the End of Term Options as required by this Section 6, then Lessor shall have the right at the end of the Base Term , in its sole discretion, to either cause Lessee to purchase the Equipment at “Fair Market Value” (as determined below) or to return the Equipment in accordance with the provisions of Section 6(c), and in either case, until Lessee has purchased the Equipment or complied with all of the requirements of Section 6(c), rent payment obligations on the Equipment will continue on a month-to-month basis at the monthly rent delineated on the Schedule (such rent to be calculated on a pro rata basis for any partial month). If Lessee elects to exercise a purchase or renewal option under any Schedule, or if Lessee elects to return Equipment under any Schedule, then Lessor, in its sole discretion, may require that all Schedules be similarly disposed of.

a. PURCHASE OPTION. Lessee may purchase all but not less than all of the Equipment subject to any Schedule, provided that no Event of Default (as defined below) shall have occurred and be continuing, t and upon proper written notification to Lessor, as of the expiration of the Base Term of said Schedule. In the event Lessee notifies Lessor it elects to

 

   3 of 12                /            
      Initials: Lessee/Lessor


purchase the Equipment, the purchase price shall be the greater of (x) the specified Purchase Option Amount for such Schedule (which will be quantified on each Schedule) or (y) the “Fair Market Value” of the Equipment. For the purpose of this Lease, “Fair Market Value” is defined as the total cost(s) it would take to replace the Equipment on an in-place, installed basis, including all current cost(s) and expense(s) for the purchase, assembly, installation, delivery, freight, consulting, training, site preparation and any other services that would be required to render such Equipment fully installed, ready and acceptable for use by an end user as of the termination of the Term, taking into account the then-current condition and age of the Equipment. If Lessor and Lessee cannot agree on a purchase price then the purchase price shall be determined by the average of two Senior Appraisers accredited by the American Society of Appraisers, one chosen by Lessor and one by Lessee, both using the definition of Fair Market Value hereunder in determining their purchase price, the cost of which shall be borne by Lessee.

b. RENEWAL OPTION. After the completion of the Base Term, and assuming no Event of Default (as defined below) shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lessee may also elect to extend and renew the Lease for the Equipment subject to any Schedule for an additional twelve (12) months by paying monthly rent equal to the amount defined in the Schedule or one tenth of the Fair Market Value of the Equipment if no renewal amount is defined in the Schedule. At the end of the Extension Term, Lessee may either exercise the Return Option as described in Section 6(c) or purchase the Equipment for Fair Market Value not to exceed Ten Percent (10%) of the original sum paid for the Equipment by Lessor.

c. RETURN OF EQUIPMENT. If the Equipment is to be returned upon termination of the Term with respect to any Schedule or if for any other reason, Lessee shall immediately discontinue all use of the Equipment and at its own cost, de-install, pack and ship the Equipment to a location or locations as instructed by Lessor. In the case of Equipment which is software, Lessee will also certify in a written form acceptable to Lessor that: (i) all tangible software has been delivered to Lessor; (ii) all tangible records and intangible software have been destroyed; (iii) Lessee has not retained the software in any form; (iv) Lessee will not use the software after termination; and (v) Lessee has not received from Manufacturer anything of value relating to or in exchange for Lessee’s use, rental or possession of the software during the duration of the Lease (including a trade-in, substitution or upgrade allowance). Upon return of the Equipment, Lessee shall take all actions necessary to ensure that the Equipment is in good working order, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and will be eligible for a standard Manufacturer Maintenance Contract if such a contract is offered by a Manufacturer or a third party and shall pay all fees, charges and expenses for maintenance certification or recertification by the Manufacturer or a third party in connection with the repairing and/or restoring of such Equipment as required to meet such standards. Lessee shall pay for any and all costs for repair or replacement of any damaged Equipment, subject to normal wear and tear. Until Lessee has complied with all of the requirements of this Section, rent payment obligations will continue on a month-to-month basis at the monthly rent delineated on the Schedule (such rent to be calculated on a pro rata basis for any partial month). Lessee shall allow Lessor to inspect, at Lessee’s cost, all of Lessee’s locations to ensure compliance hereunder. If Lessee fails to return any Equipment as required hereunder, then all of Lessee’s obligations under the Lease (including, without limitation, Lessee’s obligation to pay Rent for the Equipment at the rent then applicable under the Lease) shall continue in full force and effect until such Equipment shall have been returned in the condition required under the Lease. If requested by Lessor, Lessee shall store the Equipment at

 

   4 of 12                /            
      Initials: Lessee/Lessor


its place of business for up to 90 days prior to return, at Lessee’s risk and expense; provided, that no rental payments shall be charged for such period. If Lessee elects to return the Equipment, a restocking fee equal to five percent (5%) of the original cost of the Equipment will be due and payable on or before the first day of the month following the end of the term.

7. RESERVED.

8. TITLE; PERSONAL PROPERTY. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease or any Schedule, title to the Equipment shall remain in Lessor. Lessee shall at all times keep the Equipment free and clear of all liens, claims, levies, and legal processes, and shall at its expense protect and defend Lessor’s title and/or license rights in the Equipment. In the event any of the Equipment is software governed by a software license, Lessee shall keep said license current for the entire Term and, to the extent the license allows title to the software to pass to licensee, such title shall vest and remain in Lessor. Lessee acknowledges that the license to use the software is being provided by the Manufacturer solely because of payments made by Lessor and in consideration therefor Lessor has obtained Lessee’s interest in the License. Lessee hereby agrees and does hereby appoint Lessor or its assigns its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to prepare financing statements or other instruments necessary, and authorizes Lessor to cause this Lease or other instruments in Lessor’s determination to be filed or recorded at Lessee’s expense in order to protect Lessor’s interest in the Equipment, and grants Lessor the right to execute and deliver such instruments for and on behalf of Lessee. If requested by Lessor, then Lessee agrees to execute and deliver any such instruments and agrees to pay or reimburse Lessor for any searches, filings, recordings, inspections, fees, taxes or any other out-of-pocket costs incurred by Lessor as reasonably necessary to protect Lessor’s interest in the Equipment. Lessee also authorizes Lessor to insert on any Schedule and on related supplemental lease documentation information commonly determined after execution by Lessee such as: serial numbers and other Equipment identification data, Equipment locations, Commencement Dates, and Final Commencement Date. Lessee shall take all steps necessary to ensure that the Equipment is and remains personal property.

9. ALTERATIONS. Lessee shall make no alterations, modifications, attachments, improvements, enhancements, revisions or additions to any of the Equipment that degrades the quality or usability of the Equipment (collectively called “Alterations”), without Lessor’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. All Alterations that are made shall become part of the Equipment and shall be the property of Lessor. Equipment which is software shall include all updates, revisions, upgrades, new versions, enhancements, modifications, derivative works, maintenance fixes, translations, adaptations and copies of the foregoing or of the original version of the software whether obtained from the Manufacturer or from any source whatsoever, and references in this Lease to software will be interpreted as references to any and all of the foregoing.

10. TAXES. Lessee shall pay all fees, assessments and taxes (except for income taxes based solely on Lessor’s net income assessed by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and/or any State of the United States of America), including but not limited to, sales, use, property, excise, intangibles, single business, stamp, documentary and any other costs imposed by any taxing authority, with respect to the use, delivery, rental/lease, possession, purchase, ownership or sale of the Equipment and shall at its own cost and expense keep the Equipment free and clear

 

   5 of 12                /            
      Initials: Lessee/Lessor


of all levies, liens or encumbrances arising therefrom. Lessee shall file all required personal property tax returns relating to the Equipment. In the event Lessor files appropriate property tax returns or other reports, Lessee shall upon demand immediately reimburse Lessor for all taxes paid by Lessor, plus processing costs.

11. LOSS OR DAMAGE. Unless caused by the negligence of Lessor, Lessee shall bear the entire risk of loss, damage, theft, destruction, confiscation, requisition, inoperability, erasure or incapacity, for or from any cause whatsoever, of any or all Items during the period the Equipment is in transit to or from, or in the possession of, Lessee (“Event of Loss”) and shall hold Lessor harmless against same. Within five (5) business days from its discovery, Lessee shall fully inform Lessor of an Event of Loss. Except as provided herein, no Event of Loss shall relieve Lessee of any obligation hereunder, and all Schedules shall remain in full force and effect without any abatement or interruption of rent. In an Event of Loss, Lessee at its option (provided no Event of Default (as defined below) shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder), shall: (a) continue to timely make all rental payments and pay all other amounts due under the Lease and, within a commercially expedient time frame, place the Equipment in good working order, repair and condition, or replace the affected Equipment with identical equipment with documentation creating clear title thereto in Lessor; or (b) terminate the Lease with respect to the affected Schedule by paying to Lessor within thirty days the “Casualty Value” which is defined as the sum of: (i) the present value of the unpaid balance of the aggregate rent reserved under the related Schedule calculated using a discount rate of the then-current 1 year U.S. Treasury Rate, plus (ii) all accrued but unpaid rentals, taxes, Delinquency Charges, penalties, interest and all or any other sums then due and owing under the related Schedule, plus (iii) the amount of any applicable end of Term purchase option or other end of Term payment or, in the absence thereof, the Fair Market Value of the Equipment.

12. INSURANCE. Lessee, at its expense, shall provide and maintain in full force and effect at all times that this Lease is in force such casualty, property damage, comprehensive public liability and other insurance in sufficient amounts to satisfy all future minimum amounts required in the lease schedule with such companies as shall be satisfactory to Lessor. All such insurance shall provide that it may not be canceled or materially altered without at least thirty days prior written notice to Lessor, shall name Lessor as additional insured and loss payee, and shall not be rescinded, impaired or invalidated by any act or neglect of Lessee unless replaced with insurance meeting the requirements of this Agreement.

13. INDEMNITY. Lessee shall indemnify, defend, protect, save and hold harmless Lessor, its employees, officers, directors, agents, assigns and successors (the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all claims, actions, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), damages (including any interruption of service, loss of business or other consequential damages), liabilities, penalties, losses, obligations, injuries, demands and liens (including any of the foregoing arising or imposed under the doctrines of “strict liability” or “product liability”) of any kind or nature arising out of, connected with, relating to or resulting from the manufacture, purchase, sale, lease, ownership, installation, location, maintenance, operation, condition (including latent and other defects, whether or not discoverable), selection, delivery, return, or any accident in connection therewith, of any Item or Items of Equipment, or by operation of law (including any claim for patent, trademark or copyright infringement), regardless of where, how or by whom operated (the “Claims”). The foregoing indemnification obligation of Lessee shall not apply to any Claims resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnified Party. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive termination or expiration of this Lease.

15. ASSIGNMENT. Lessee hereby agrees and acknowledges that Lessor may without notice to Lessee, assign all or any part of Lessor’s rights, title and interest in and to this Lease, any Schedule, the Equipment and any of the rentals or other sums payable hereunder, to any assignee (“Assignee”) provided any such assignment shall be made subject to the rights of Lessee herein. Lessee hereby acknowledges that any such assignment does not change the duties of, nor the burden of risk imposed on the Lessee and that Lessee shall not look to Assignee to perform any of Lessor’s obligations hereunder and shall not assert against Assignee any defense, counterclaim or setoff it may have against Lessor. Lessee agrees that after receipt of written notice from Lessor of any such assignment Lessee shall pay, if directed by Lessor, any assigned rental and other sums payable hereunder directly to Assignee and will execute and deliver to Assignee such documents as Assignee may reasonably request in order to confirm the interest of Assignee in this Lease. WITHOUT LESSOR’S PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT, WHICH SHALL NOT BE UNREASONABLY WITHHELD, LESSEE SHALL NOT ASSIGN, TRANSFER, ENCUMBER, SUBLET OR SELL THIS LEASE, ANY SCHEDULE, ANY OF THE EQUIPMENT, OR ANY OF ITS INTEREST THEREIN, IN ANY FORM OR MANNER; PROVIDED, HOWEVER THE LESSEE MAY ASSIGN THIS LEASE, SCHEDULES, AND ITS INTEREST THEREIN TO ANY QUALIFIED BUYER ACQUIRING ALL OR SUBSTANTIALLY ALL THE ASSETS OR VOTING SECURITIES OF LESSEE. For the purpose of this agreement, a “Qualified Buyer” is defined as an entity with at least $20 million in tangible net equity as reported within three (3) months of the date of a definitive agreement in which more than 50% of the outstanding stock or substantially all of the assets of the Lessee are sold and at least $20 million in revenue for the trailing 12 month period prior to the same. Revenue shall be measured according to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

16. FURTHER ASSURANCES; FINANCIAL REPORTING. Upon Lessor’s request, Lessee, promptly and at its expense, shall execute and/or deliver such documents, instruments and/or assurances, and shall take such further action, as Lessor deems prudent in order to establish and/or protect the rights, interests and remedies of Lessor, and for the confirmation, assignment and/or perfection of this Lease and any Schedule hereto, and for the assurance of performance of Lessee’s obligations hereunder; such as (but not limited to): a secretary’s certificate certifying the authority of the person(s) signing, and/or the resolutions authorizing, this Lease and/or any Schedule; delivery and/or acceptance certificates; insurance certificates; an opinion of Lessee’s counsel if applicable; financial and other credit information

as reasonably requested by Lessor; intercreditor agreements and subordinations if applicable; and a landlord/mortgagee waiver of rights and interests in the Equipment. If Lessee fails to complete when due any such requested item, Lessor, in its sole discretion and notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3, may elect to delay the Final Commencement Date of the affected Schedule until any or all such requested items are completed. Until duly executed by an authorized officer of Lessor, Lessee agrees that this Lease and any Schedule executed by Lessee shall constitute an offer by Lessee to enter into the Lease with Lessor. So long as there are amounts due Lessor under this Lease, Lessee will provide Lessor with (i) unaudited financial statements no less frequently then quarterly basis and no less promptly than 50 days following the end of the quarter, (ii) audited financial statements within 270 days after the end of each fiscal year of Lessee and draft versions of the same within 15 days after Lessee receives such draft statements from auditor, and (iii) at Lessor’s request, twelve (12) month forward-looking cash operating plans on annual basis or as reasonably requested by Lessor if Lessee has updated such plans . Lessor reserves the right to request detailed schedules of assets and liabilities and Lessee shall comply reasonably to such requests. At the request of Lessor, Lessee will schedule occasional telephone calls with Lessor to update Lessor on the progress of Lessee’s business; such calls may be quarterly in frequency and/or made in response to follow on equipment financing requests. Lessee shall provide, and keep on file with Lessor at all times, current copies of (x) all agreements, documents or instruments evidencing indebtedness of any kind whose future minimum payments are in excess of $500,000 owed to any individual or entity other than Lessor that are entered into after the effective date of this Lease, (y) any other agreement, document or instrument pursuant to which such indebtedness was created, secured or guaranteed, and (z) any other agreement, document or instrument which imposes on Lessee a financial covenant of any kind (the agreements, documents and instruments described in clauses (x), (y) and (z), (the “Material Agreements”). Lessee shall promptly notify Lessor of any breach or waiver of any covenant contained in a Material Agreement and of any material adverse change in its financial condition.

17. DEFAULT. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an event of default hereunder (“Event of Default”): (a) Lessee fails to pay when due any installment of rent or any other amount due hereunder and such failure continues for a period of 10 days after such due date regardless of whether Lessor has provided written notice of such payment default to Lessee ); (b) any financial or other information or any other representation or warranty given to Lessor herein or in connection herewith, proves to be materially false or materially misleading; (c) Lessee assigns, transfers, encumbers, sublets or sells this Lease, any Schedule, any of the Equipment, or any of its interest therein, in any form or manner, without Lessor’s prior written consent, except as expressly permitted herein; (d) Lessee fails to observe or perform any other material covenant, condition or obligation to be observed or performed by it under this Lease and such failure continues for a period of 15 days after receipt of written notice thereof; (e) any transaction or series of transactions that results in an ownership change of 50 percent or more of the equity interests of Lessee of this Lease if the financial position of the Lessee is materially adversely effected after the completion of such transaction; (f) Lessee of this Lease consolidates with or merges into, or sells or leases 50 percent or more of its assets to any individual, corporation, or other entity if the overall value of the surviving entity is substantially less than the value of Lessee prior to the consolidation, merger, sale or lease; (g) Lessee ceases doing business as a going concern, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, admits in writing its insolvency, files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, is adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent, files

a petition seeking for itself any reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or similar arrangement under any present or future statute, law or regulation, or files an answer admitting the material allegations of a petition filed against it in any such proceedings, consents to or acquiesces in the appointment of a trustee, receiver, or liquidator of it or of any substantial part of its assets, or if its shareholders take any action looking to its dissolution or liquidation; (h) within 60 days after the commencement of any proceeding against Lessee seeking reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future statute, law or regulation, such proceedings shall not have been dismissed, or if within 60 days after the appointment without Lessee’s consent or acquiescence of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of it or of any substantial part of its assets, such appointment shall not be vacated; or (i) Lessee defaults under any of its obligations under any of its Material Agreements or any other agreements, documents or instruments evidencing indebtedness of Lessee of any kind, and such default, either in Lessor’s reasonable judgment materially affects Lessee’s ability to perform its obligations under this Lease or causes or permits the holder of any such indebtedness created thereunder to cause the same to be due prior to its stated maturity (whether or not such default is waived by the holder thereof).

18. REMEDIES. If an Event of Default shall occur, Lessor may, in addition to all available remedies it may have at law or in equity do any or all of the following: (a) to enforce performance by Lessee of the applicable covenants of this Lease and to recover damages for the breach thereof; (b) by written notice to Lessee, terminate this Lease and/or all or any Schedules hereto and Lessees rights hereunder and/or thereunder; (c) personally or by its agents enter the premises where any of the Equipment is located and take immediate possession of the Equipment without court order or other process of law, but in compliance with the law, and free from all claims by Lessee; (d) nullify any end of Term purchase or renewal option; and/or (e) recover as damages all unpaid amounts then due and owing including applicable late charges, plus accelerate and declare to be immediately due and payable the unpaid balance of the aggregate rent (discounted to present value using the then-current 1-year U.S. Treasury Rate) and other sums reserved hereunder plus the Purchase Option Amount as specified on each Schedule, without any presentment, demand, protest or further notice (all of which are expressly waived by Lessee). In the event Lessor repossesses any of the Equipment, Lessor may sell, lease or otherwise dispose of said Equipment in such manner, at such times, and upon such terms as Lessor may reasonably determine. If Lessor does repossess and sell the Equipment, the proceeds thereof shall be applied to: (i) all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of such disposition; (ii) the unpaid accrued rentals, taxes, fees, delinquency charges interest and all or any other sums due and owing; (iii) the unpaid accelerated rentals; and (iv) the Purchase Option Amount as specified on each Schedule. Any excess proceeds shall be remitted to Lessee. If Lessor re-leases the Equipment, the re-lease rentals received for the period through the end of the original Base Term of the Lease shall be first applied as described in (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), above, with any excess to be remitted to the Lessee. The exercise of any of the foregoing remedies by Lessor shall not constitute a termination of the Lease or of any Schedule unless Lessor so notifies Lessee in writing. All remedies of Lessor shall be deemed cumulative and may be exercised concurrently or separately. The waiver by Lessor of any breach of any obligation of Lessee shall not be deemed a waiver of a breach of any other obligation or of any future breach of the same obligation. The subsequent acceptance of rental payments hereunder by Lessor shall not be deemed a waiver of any prior or existing breach by Lessee regardless of Lessor’s knowledge of such breach. If any Schedule is deemed at any time to be a lease intended as security, Lessee

      Initials: Lessee/Lessor


grants Lessor a security interest in the Equipment to secure its obligations under this Lease and all other indebtedness at any time owing by Lessee to Lessor. Lessee agrees that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, in addition to all of the other rights and remedies available to Lessor hereunder, Lessor shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) if an Event of Default has occurred as a result of a default under any agreements, documents or instruments evidencing indebtedness of any kind whose future minimum payments are in excess of $500,000 owed to any individual or entity other than Lessor that are entered into after the effective date of this Lease (other than a payment default), Lessor agrees not to exercise any remedies provided in this Section 18 until the earlier of 90 days or the number of days allowed by the subject creditor for the Lessee to cure such default (the “Material Contract Grace Period”) and (b) if any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lessor agrees not to exercise any remedies provided in this Section 18 unless such Event of Default is continuing for at least 30 days (the “Other Grace Period”). Lessee may not make any additions to or provide any new lease schedules during any Material Contract Grace Period or Other Grace Period. If any such Event of Default has been cured by Lessee within the Material Contract Grace Period or other Grace Period, as applicable, Lessee and Lessor may agree that Lessee may resume making additions to and providing new lease schedules upon such cure. Lessor shall not be required to fund new leases during any Material Contract Grace Period or other Grace Period.

19. PERFORMANCE OF LESSEE’S OBLIGATIONS BY LESSOR. If Lessee fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, Lessor shall have the right upon notice to Lessee, but shall not be obligated, to perform the same for the account of Lessee without thereby waiving Lessee’s default. Any amount paid and any expense, penalty or other liability incurred by Lessor in such performance shall become due and payable by Lessee to Lessor upon demand.

20. PURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In the event any of the Equipment is subject to any acquisition or purchase agreement (“Acquisition Agreement”) between Lessee and the Manufacturer, then Lessee, as part of this Lease when approved by Lessor, transfers and assigns to Lessor any and all of Lessee’s rights, title and interest (excepting that which is inherent to or granted by this Lease), but none of its obligations (except Lessee’s obligation to pay for the Equipment, which Lessor shall do after Lessee’s acceptance of the Equipment, provided all documentation required by Lessor has been completed and that Lessor’s approval remains valid), in and to the Acquisition Agreement(s) and the subject Equipment. IN THE EVENT LESSEE ISSUES A PURCHASE ORDER TO LESSOR WITH RESPECT TO THIS LEASE, ANY SCHEDULE, OR ANY OF THE EQUIPMENT, IT IS AGREED THAT ANY SUCH PURCHASE ORDER IS FOR LESSEE’S INTERNAL PURPOSES ONLY AND THAT NONE OF ITS TERMS AND CONDITIONS SHALL MODIFY THIS LEASE OR ANY RELATED DOCUMENTATION, OR AFFECT EITHER PARTIES’ RESPONSIBILITIES AS SET FORTH IN THIS LEASE.

21. NOTICES. All notices hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given by personal delivery or sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, or reputable overnight courier service, postage/expense prepaid, to the address of the other party as set forth herein or to any later address last known to the sender. All notices to Lessor must be executed by an authorized officer of Lessee to be effective. Notice shall be effective upon signed receipt or other evidence of delivery.

22. APPLICABLE LAW / ARBITRATION. The parties agree that any action brought to enforce any of the terms, or to recover for any breach, whether based in tort, contract or otherwise, relating to or arising out of this Lease (collectively, “Lease Disputes”) will be submitted to the San Francisco County, California, office of JAMS/Endispute LLC (“JAMS”), for a trial of all issues of law and fact conducted by a retired judge or justice from the panel of JAMS, appointed pursuant to a general reference under California Code of Civil Procedure, Section 638(1) (or any amendment, addition or successor section thereto) unless Lessor or its assignee selects an alternative forum. If the parties are unable to agree on a member of the JAMS panel, then one shall be appointed by the presiding Judge of the California Superior court for the County of San Francisco. In the event that JAMS in the County of San Francisco ceases to exist, then the parties agree that all Lease Disputes will be filed and conducted in the appropriate court having jurisdiction in the County of San Mateo, unless Lessor or its assignee selects an alternative forum. Lessee agrees to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the appropriate California Court for all Lease Disputes. Lessee waives its rights to a jury trial in any action arising out of or relating to this Lease. The prevailing party in any Lease Disputes is entitled to recover from the other party reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and costs, including all JAMS related costs and costs of collection (including judgment enforcement and collection costs). This Lease has been entered into and shall be performed in California and, therefore, this Lease shall be construed in accordance with and shall be governed by, the internal substantive laws of the State of California (exclusive of principles of conflict of laws). TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE.

23. GENERAL; TRANSACTION COSTS; PAYMENTS. Neither this Lease nor any Schedule shall bind Lessor in any manner, and no obligation of Lessor shall arise, until the respective instrument is duly executed by an authorized officer of Lessor. If more than one Lessee is named in this Lease or there is a Guarantor of this Lease, the liability of each shall be joint and several. This Lease and each Schedule shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon Lessor, Lessee and their respective successors except as expressly provided for herein. All representations, warranties, indemnities and covenants contained herein, or in any document now or at any other time delivered in connection herewith, which by their nature would continue beyond the termination or expiration of this Lease, shall continue in full force and effect and shall survive the termination or expiration of this Lease. Each party agrees to keep confidential and not to disclose to any third party, except as required by law or to enforce rights and remedies hereunder, any information designated as confidential by the other party. Lessee will reimburse Lessor for all reasonable costs related to this transaction, including search and UCC filing fees, recording fees, shipping costs, due diligence costs and appraisal fees (if applicable) and legal costs. Legal costs, if any, arising from the origination of this Lease shall not exceed $2,500 without prior approval in writing by Lessee. Lessee shall elect to make payments either by electronic transfer to Lessor’s bank account or by authorizing Lessor to collect payments by ACH debit of Lessee’s bank account. If Lessee fails to transfer payment to Lessor’s bank account within the time frame as set forth in Section 4 of this Lease and later makes or offers payment, lessee shall transfer any and all Delinquency Charge as set forth in Section 4 on that same day. Lessor will provide Lessee with and keep current its bank account information.

MASTER LEASE AND FINANCING AGREEMENT

This Master Lease and Financing Agreement Number 3604686364 (together with Annex A and Exhibits A and B attached hereto and hereby made a part hereof, this “Master Agreement”) is entered into by and between Hewlett-Packard Financial Services Company1, a Delaware corporation (“Lessor”), and Five 9, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Lessee”). Capitalized terms used in this Master Agreement without definition have the meanings specified in Annex A to this Master Agreement.

1. MASTER AGREEMENT; SCHEDULES. This Master Agreement sets forth the general terms and conditions upon which (a) Lessor shall lease to Lessee and Lessee shall lease from Lessor items of Hardware, Software or both (such Hardware and Software being collectively referred to as “Equipment”) and (b) Lessor shall provide financing to Lessee for software program license fees, maintenance fees, fees for other services, and other costs and one-time charges (“Financed Items”) Lessee desires to finance hereunder. If Lessor and Lessee agree to a lease of particular Equipment (a “Lease”) and/or a financing of particular Financed Items (a “Financing”), each item of Equipment and/or Financed Item will be described on a schedule in the form of Exhibit A, which schedule will incorporate this Master Agreement by reference (“Schedule”). Each Schedule, when executed by Lessee and Lessor, will constitute a separate Lease and/or Financing. If specific terms of a Schedule conflict with the terms of this Master Agreement, the provisions of the Schedule will control.

2. ACCEPTANCE; INITIAL TERM AND TERM. (a) Acceptance. Lessee shall unconditionally and irrevocably accept all Equipment under a Lease and, if applicable, all related Financed Items subject to a Financing as soon as such Equipment is delivered and inspected by Lessee and found to be satisfactory. In the case of a Financing of Financed Items unrelated to any Equipment subject to a Lease, Lessee shall unconditionally and irrevocably accept such Financed Items as soon as it shall have become liable to pay for such Financed Items. In either case, Lessee will evidence such acceptance by executing and delivering to Lessor a properly completed Acceptance Certificate as soon as reasonably practicable. (b) Initial Term of Leases and Term of Financings. The Initial Term of each Lease and, if applicable, the Term of any related Financing stated in and evidenced by a Schedule executed pursuant to this Section 2 will begin on the Acceptance Date of the Equipment subject to that Lease and will continue for the period described in the applicable Schedule; the term of each Financing stated in and evidenced by a Schedule executed pursuant to this Section 2 that is unrelated to any Lease will begin on the Acceptance Date for the related Financed Items and will continue for the period described in the applicable Schedule.

3. RENT; LATE CHARGES. As rent for the Equipment under any Lease and the Financed Items under any Financing (in either case, referred to in this Master Agreement and any Schedule as “Rent”), Lessee agrees to pay the amounts specified in the applicable Schedule on the due dates specified in the applicable Schedule. If any part of any Rent payment or other amount due under this Master Agreement is not paid within 10 days of its due date, Lessee agrees to pay Lessor: (a) in the first month, a late charge to compensate Lessor for collecting and processing the late amount, which late charge is stipulated and liquidated at the greater of $.05 per dollar of each delayed amount or $50; plus (b) a charge for every month after the first month in which the amount is late to compensate Lessor for the inability to reinvest the amount, which charge is stipulated and liquidated at 1- 12% of the delayed amount per month (or the lesser rate that is the maximum rate allowable under applicable law).

4. LEASES AND FINANCINGS NON-CANCELABLE; NET LEASES; WAIVER OF DEFENSES TO PAYMENT. IT IS SPECIFICALLY UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT EACH LEASE AND FINANCING HEREUNDER SHALL BE NON-CANCELABLE, AND THAT EACH LEASE HEREUNDER IS A NET LEASE. LESSEE AGREES THAT IT HAS AN ABSOLUTE AND UNCONDITIONAL OBLIGATION TO PAY ALL RENT AND OTHER AMOUNTS WHEN DUE. LESSEE IS NOT ENTITLED TO ABATE OR REDUCE RENT OR ANY OTHER AMOUNT DUE, OR TO SET OFF ANY CHARGE AGAINST ANY SUCH AMOUNT. LESSEE HEREBY WAIVES ANY RECOUPMENT, CROSS-CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR ANY OTHER DEFENSE AT LAW OR IN EQUITY TO ANY RENT PAYMENT OR OTHER AMOUNT DUE WITH RESPECT TO ANY LEASE OR FINANCING, WHETHER ANY SUCH DEFENSE ARISES OUT OF THIS MASTER AGREEMENT, ANY SCHEDULE, ANY CLAIM BY LESSEE AGAINST LESSOR, LESSOR’S ASSIGNEES OR SUPPLIER, OR OTHERWISE.

5. ASSIGNMENT OF PURCHASE DOCUMENTS. Lessee assigns to Lessor all of Lessee’s right, title and interest in and to (a) the Equipment described in each Schedule, and (b) the Purchase Documents relating to such Equipment. Such assignment of the Purchase Documents is an assignment of rights only; nothing in this Master Agreement shall be deemed to have relieved Lessee of any obligation or liability under any of the Purchase Documents, except that, as between Lessee and Lessor, Lessor shall pay for the Equipment within 30 days after Lessee’s delivery to Lessor of a properly completed and executed Acceptance Certificate and all other documentation necessary to establish Lessee’s acceptance of such Equipment under the related Lease. Lessee represents and warrants that it has reviewed and approved the Purchase Documents. In addition, if Lessor shall so request, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor a document acceptable to Lessor whereby Seller acknowledges and provides any required consent to such assignment. For the avoidance of doubt, Lessee covenants and agrees that it shall at all times during the Total Term of each Lease comply in all respects with the terms of any License Agreement relating to any Equipment leased thereunder. IT IS ALSO SPECIFICALLY UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT NEITHER SUPPLIER NOR ANY SALESPERSON OF SUPPLIER IS AN AGENT OF LESSOR, NOR ARE THEY AUTHORIZED TO WAIVE OR ALTER ANY TERMS OF THIS MASTER AGREEMENT OR ANY SCHEDULE.

6. ASSIGNMENT OF PURCHASE DOCUMENTS. To the extent permitted, Lessor hereby assigns to Lessee, for the Total Term of any Lease, all Equipment warranties, indemnities, and representations provided in the applicable Purchase Documents. Lessee shall have the right to take any action it deems appropriate to enforce such warranties, indemnities and representations provided such enforcement is pursued in Lessee’s name and at its expense. Any recovery resulting from any such enforcement efforts will be divided between Lessor and Lessee as their interests may appear.

7. EQUIPMENT RETURN REQUIREMENTS. Not later than 5 days after the last day of the Total Term of each Lease (and any other time Lessee is required to return Equipment to Lessor under the terms of this Master Agreement or any Schedule), for all Equipment to be returned to Lessor, Lessee shall (a) remove any Lessee labels, tags or other identifying marks on the Equipment and wipe clean or permanently delete all data contained on the Equipment, including without limitation, any data contained on internal or external drives, discs, or accompanying media, (b) pack the Equipment in accordance with the manufacturer’s guidelines, and (c) deliver such Equipment to Lessor at any destination within the continental United States designated by Lessor. In the case of any item of Software to be returned to Lessor, Lessee shall also deliver to Lessor the original certificate of authenticity issued by the licensor of such Software, if any, the end user license agreement, any CD-ROM, diskettes or other media relating to such Software and any other materials originally delivered to Lessee with such Software. All dismantling, packaging, transportation, in-transit insurance and shipping charges shall be borne by Lessee. All Equipment shall be returned to Lessor in the same condition and working order as when delivered to Lessee, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and, except in the case of PC Equipment and Software, shall qualify for maintenance service by the Supplier at its then standard rates for Equipment of that age, if available. Lessee shall be responsible for, and shall reimburse Lessor promptly on demand for, the cost of returning the Equipment to good working condition or, in the case of Equipment other than PC Equipment and Software, qualifying the Equipment for the Supplier’s maintenance service, if available. The return of the Equipment shall constitute a full release by Lessee of any leasehold rights or possessory interest in the Equipment.

8. EQUIPMENT USE; MAINTENANCE AND ADDITIONS. Lessee shall, at its own expense, at all times during the applicable Total Term (a) operate and maintain the Equipment in good working order, repair and condition, and in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications and recommendations, (b) except in the case of PC Equipment and Software, maintain and enforce a maintenance agreement to service and maintain the Equipment, upon terms and with a provider reasonably acceptable to Lessor, such that the Equipment shall qualify for Maintenance Service at the time the Equipment is returned to Lessor, and (c) make all alterations or additions to the Equipment required by any applicable law, regulation or order. Lessee shall make no alterations or additions to the Equipment, except those that wilt not void any warranty made by the Supplier of the Equipment, result in the creation of any security interest, lien or encumbrance on the Equipment or impair the value or use of the Equipment either at the time made or at the end of the Total Term of the applicable Lease, and that are readily removable without damage to the Equipment (“Optional Additions”). All additions to the Equipment or repairs made to the Equipment, except Optional Additions, become a part thereof and Lessor’s property at the time made. Optional Additions that have not been removed prior to the return of the Equipment shall become Lessor’s property upon such return. On at least 72 hours prior notice to Lessee, Lessor and Lessor’s agents shall have the right, during Lessee’s normal business hours, to enter the premises where the Equipment is located for the purpose of inspecting the Equipment.

9. EQUIPMENT OWNERSHIP; LIENS; LOCATION. As between Lessor and Lessee, Lessor is the sole owner of the Equipment and has sole title thereto, Lessee covenants that it will not pledge or encumber the Equipment or Lessor’s interest in the Equipment in any manner whatsoever nor create or permit to exist any levy, lien or encumbrance thereof or thereon except those created by or through Lessor. The Equipment shall remain Lessor’s personal property whether or not affixed to realty and shall not become a fixture or be made to become a part of any real property on which it is placed without Lessor’s prior written consent. If Lessee has been provided tags or identifying labels, Lessee will at Lessee’s expense affix and maintain the same in a prominent position on each item of Equipment to indicate Lessor’s ownership. Lessee may relocate any Equipment from the Equipment Location specified in the applicable Schedule to another of its business locations within the United States within five days written notice to Lessor specifying the new Equipment Location, provided Lessee remains in possession and control of the Equipment. Lessee shall not locate or relocate any Equipment such that any third party comes into possession or control thereof without Lessor’s prior written consent; provided, however, that Lessor shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to the location or relocation of Equipment to a third party co-location or hosting facility if such third party shall have executed and delivered to Lessor a waiver agreement in form and substance acceptable to Lessor pursuant to which, among other things, such third party shall have waived any rights to the Equipment and agreed to surrender the Equipment to Lessor in the event of a Lessee Default under this Master Agreement.

10. RISK OF LOSS AND INSURANCE. Lessee assumes any and all risk of loss or damage to the Equipment until such Equipment is returned to and received by Lessor in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Master Agreement. Lessee agrees to keep the Equipment insured at Lessee’s expense against all risks of loss from any cause whatsoever, including without limitation, loss by fire (including extended coverage), theft and damage, and such insurance shall cover not less than the Stipulated Loss Value of the Equipment. Lessee also agrees that it shall carry commercial general liability insurance in an amount not less than $1,000,000 total liability per occurrence. Lessee shall cause Lessor and its affiliates, and its and their successors and assigns, to be named loss payees and additional insureds, as applicable, under such insurance policies. Each policy shall provide that the insurance cannot be canceled without at least 30 days prior written notice to Lessor, and no policy shall contain a deductible in excess of $25,000. Lessee shall provide to Lessor (a) on or prior to the Acceptance Date for each Lease, and from time to time thereafter, certificates of insurance evidencing such insurance coverage throughout the Total Term of each Lease, and (b) upon Lessor’s request, copies of the insurance policies. If Lessee fails to provide Lessor with such evidence, then Lessor will have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase such insurance protecting Lessor at Lessee’s expense. Lessee’s expense shall include the full premium paid for such insurance and any customary charges, costs or fees of Lessor. Lessee agrees to pay such amounts in substantially equal installments allocated to each Rent payment (plus interest 011 such amounts at the rate of 1-1/2% per month or such lesser rate as is the maximum rate allowable under applicable law).

11. CASUALTY LOSS. Lessee shall notify Lessor of any Casually Loss or repairable damage to any Equipment not later than 30 days following the date of any such occurrence. In the event any Casualty Loss shall occur, on the next Rent payment date Lessee shall pay Lessor the Stipulated Loss Value of the Equipment suffering the Casualty Loss. Upon Lessor’s receipt of such payment of Stipulated Loss Value in full: (a) Lessor shall transfer to Lessee all of Lessor’s interest in the Equipment suffering the Casualty Loss “AS IS, WHERE IS,” without any warranty, express or implied, from Lessor, other than the absence of any liens or claims by or through Lessor, (b) the applicable Lease shall terminate as it relates to such Equipment, and (c) except as provided in Section 26(m), Lessee shall be relieved of all obligations under the applicable Lease as it relates to such Equipment. In the event of any repairable damage to any Equipment, the Lease shall continue with respect to such Equipment without any abatement of Rent and Lessee shall at its expense cause such Equipment to be repaired to the condition it is required to be maintained in pursuant to Section 8 not later than 30 days from the date of the occurrence.

12. TAXES. Lessor shall report and pay all Taxes now or hereafter imposed or assessed by governmental body, agency or taxing authority upon the purchase, ownership, delivery, installation, leasing, rental, use or sale of the Equipment, the Rent or other charges payable hereunder, or otherwise upon or in connection with any Lease or Financing, whether assessed on Lessor or Lessee, other than any such Taxes required by law to be reported and paid by Lessee. Lessee shall within 30 days of invoice reimburse Lessor for all such Taxes paid by Lessor, together with any penalties or interest in connection therewith attributable to Lessee’s acts or failure to act, excluding (a) Taxes 011 or measured by the overall gross or net income or items of tax preference of Lessor, (b) as to any Lease or the related Equipment, Taxes attributable to the period after the return of such Equipment to Lessor, and (c) Taxes imposed as a result of a sole or other transfer by Lessor of any portion of its interest in any Lease or Financing or in any Equipment, except for a sale or other transfer to Lessee or a sale or other transfer occurring after and during the continuance of any Lessee Default.

13. GENERAL INDEMNITY. Lessee shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lessor, its employees, officers, directors, agents and assignees from and against any and all Claims arising directly or indirectly out of or in connection with any matter involving this Master Agreement, the Equipment, the Financed Items or any Lease and/or Financing.

14. TAX BENEFIT INDEMNITY. Lessor and Lessee agree that Lessor is entitled to certain federal, state and local tax benefits available to an owner of Equipment (collectively, “Tax Benefits”), including without limitation, accelerated cost recovery system deductions for 5-year property and deductions for interest incurred by Lessor to finance the purchase of Equipment available under the Code. Lessee represents, warrants and covenants to Lessor that (a) Lessee is not a tax-exempt entity (as defined in Section 168(h) of the Code); (b) all Equipment will be used solely within the United States; and (c) Lessee will take no position inconsistent with the assumption that Lessor is the owner of the Equipment for federal, state, and local tax purposes. If, due to any act or omission of Lessee or any party acting through Lessee, or the breach or inaccuracy of any representation, warranty or covenant of Lessee contained in any Fundamental Agreement, Lessor reasonably determines that it cannot claim, is not allowed to claim, loses or must recapture any or all of the Tax Benefits otherwise available with respect to the Equipment subject to any Lease (a “Tax Loss”), then Lessee shall, promptly upon demand, pay to Lessor an amount sufficient to provide Lessor the same after-tax rate of return and aggregate after-tax cash flow through the end of the Then Applicable Term of such Lease that Lessor would have realized but for such Tax Loss.

15. COVENANT OF QUIET ENJOYMENT. So long as no Lessee Default exists, and no event shall have occurred and be continuing which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute a Lessee Default neither Lessor nor any party acting or claiming through Lessor, by assignment or otherwise, will disturb Lessee’s quiet enjoyment of the Equipment during the Total Term of the related Lease.

16. DISCLAIMERS AND LESSEE WAIVERS. LESSEE LEASES THE EQUIPMENT FROM LESSOR “AS IS, WHERE IS”. IT IS SPECIFICALLY UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT (A) EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN SECTION 15, LESSOR MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO THE DESIGN, COMPLIANCE WITH SPECIFICATIONS, QUALITY, OPERATION, OR CONDITION OF ANY EQUIPMENT OR FINANCED ITEMS (OR ANY PART THEREOF), THE MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS OF EQUIPMENT OR FINANCED ITEMS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR ISSUES REGARDING PATENT INFRINGEMENT, TITLE AND THE LIKE; (B) LESSOR SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO HAVE MADE, BE BOUND BY OR LIABLE FOR, ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR PROMISE MADE BY THE SUPPLIER OF ANY EQUIPMENT OR FINANCED ITEMS (EVEN IF LESSOR IS AFFILIATED WITH SUCH SUPPLIER); (C) LESSOR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY FAILURE OF ANY EQUIPMENT OR FINANCED ITEMS OR ANY DELAY IN THE DELIVERY OR INSTALLATION THEREOF; (D) LESSEE HAS SELECTED ALL EQUIPMENT AND FINANCED ITEMS WITHOUT LESSOR’S ASSISTANCE; AND (E) LESSOR IS NOT A MANUFACTURER OF ANY EQUIPMENT. IT IS FURTHER AGREED THAT LESSOR SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO LESSEE OR ANY THIRD PARTIES FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS MASTER AGREEMENT OR ANY SCHEDULE OR CONCERNING ANY EQUIPMENT OR FINANCED ITEMS, OR FOR ANY DAMAGES BASED ON STRICT OR ABSOLUTE TORT LIABILITY OR LESSOR’S NEGLIGENCE; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT NOTHING IN THIS MASTER AGREEMENT SHALL DEPRIVE LESSEE OF ANY RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE AGAINST ANY PERSON OTHER THAN LESSOR. LESSOR AND LESSEE AGREE THAT THE LEASES AND THE FINANCINGS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE EXPRESS PROVISIONS OF THIS MASTER AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER FUNDAMENTAL AGREEMENTS AND NOT BY THE CONFLICTING PROVISIONS OF ANY OTHERWISE APPLICABLE LAW. ACCORDINGLY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, LESSEE WAIVES THOSE RIGHTS AND REMEDIES AGAINST A LESSOR CONFERRED UPON A LESSEE BY ARTICLE 2A OF THE UCC AND THOSE RIGHTS NOW OR HEREAFTER CONFERRED BY STATUTE OR OTHERWISE, IN EITHER CASE THAT ARE INCONSISTENT WITH OR THAT WOULD LIMIT OR MODIFY LESSOR’S RIGHTS SET FORTH IN THIS MASTER AGREEMENT.

17. LESSEE WARRANTIES. Lessee represents, warrants and covenants to Lessor that as of the date of this Master Agreement and for so long as this Master Agreement shall remain in effect: (a) ALL EQUIPMENT WILL BE USED FOR BUSINESS PURPOSES ONLY AND NOT FOR PERSONAL, FAMILY OR HOUSEHOLD PURPOSES; (b) Lessee is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under applicable law; (c) Lessee has the power and authority to enter into each of the Fundamental Agreements; (d) all Fundamental Agreements arc enforceable against Lessee in accordance with their terms and do not violate or create a default under any instrument or agreement binding on Lessee; (e) as of the date of its execution of this Master Agreement and as of the Acceptance Date of any Equipment or Financed Items, there are no pending or threatened actions or proceedings before any court or administrative agency that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Lessee or any Fundamental Agreement, unless such actions are disclosed to Lessor and consented to in writing by Lessor; (f) Lessee shall comply with the requirements of all applicable laws and regulations the violation of which could have an adverse effect upon the Equipment, Lessor’s rights and remedies under any Fundamental Agreement or Lessee’s performance of its obligations under any Fundamental Agreement; (g) each Fundamental Agreement shall be effective against all creditors of Lessee under applicable law, including fraudulent conveyance and bulk transfer laws, and shall raise no presumption of fraud; (h) all financial statements and other related information furnished by Lessee shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and shall fairly present Lessee’s financial position as of the dates given on such statements; (i) Lessee’s name set forth in the signature block below is Lessee’s full and accurate legal name’ (j) Lessee is a Corporation organized under the laws of             ; (k) Lessee’s “location” (within the meaning of UCC Section 9-307) is Pleasanton, CA (l) Lessee’s organizational number assigned to it by its jurisdiction of organization is             ; (m) Lessee’s federal tax identification number is            ; (n) Lessee and all Lessee Affiliates do not export, re-export, or transfer any Equipment, Software, System Software or source code or any direct product thereof to a prohibited destination, or to nationals of proscribed countries wherever located, without prior authorization from the United States and other applicable governments; (o) Lessee and all Lessee Affiliates do not use any Equipment, Software or System Software or technology, technical data, or technical assistance related thereto or the products thereof in the design, development, or production of nuclear, missile, chemical, or biological weapons or transfer the same to a prohibited destination, or to nationals of proscribed countries wherever located, without prior authorization from the United States and other applicable governments; and (p) Lessee and all Lessee Affiliates are not entities designated by the United States government or any other applicable government with which transacting business without the prior consent of such government is prohibited. Lessee agrees to provide Lessor advance written notice of any change in any of the representations and covenants set forth in clauses (i) through (m) of this Section 17.

18. DEFAULT. Any of the following shall constitute a default by Lessee (a “Lessee Default”) under this Master Agreement and all Leases and Financings: (a) Lessee fails to pay any Rent payment or any other amount payable to Lessor under this Master Agreement or any Schedule within 10 days after its due date; or (b) Lessee defaults on or breaches any of the other terms and conditions of any Material Agreement, and fails to cure such breach within 10 days after written notice thereof from Lessor; or (c) any representation or warranty made by Lessee in any Material Agreement proves to be incorrect in any material respect when made or reaffirmed; or (d) any change occurs in relation to Lessee’s or Guarantor’s business, management, ownership or financial condition that would have a material adverse effect on Lessee’s ability to perform its obligations under this Master Agreement or any Schedule or Guarantor’s ability to perform its obligations under its guaranty; or (e) Lessee or Guarantor dissolves or otherwise terminates its existence, ceases to do business or becomes insolvent or fails generally to pay its debts as they become due; or (f) any Equipment is levied against, seized or attached; or (g) Lessee or Guarantor makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (h) a proceeding under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement of debt, insolvency or receivership law is filed by or against Lessee or Guarantor (and, if such proceeding is involuntary, it is not dismissed within 60 days after the filing thereof) or Lessee or Guarantor takes any action to authorize any of the foregoing matters; or (i) any letter of credit or guaranty issued in support of a Lease or Financing is revoked, breached, cancelled or terminated (unless consented to in advance in writing by Lessor); or (j) any Guarantor fails to fulfill its obligations in favor of Lessor pursuant to its guaranty.

19. REMEDIES. If a Lessee Default occurs, Lessor may, in its sole discretion, exercise one or more of the following remedies: (a) declare all amounts due and lo become due under any or all Leases and Financings to be immediately due and payable; or (b) terminate this Master Agreement or any Lease or Financing; or (c) lake possession of, or render unusable, any Equipment wherever the Equipment may be located, without demand or notice and without any court order or other process of law in accordance with Lessee’s reasonable security procedures, and no such action shall constitute a termination of any Lease; or (d) require Lessee to deliver the Equipment to a location specified by Lessor; or (e) declare the Stipulated Loss Value for any or all Equipment to be due and payable as liquidated damages for loss of a bargain and not as a penalty and in lieu of any further Rent payments under the applicable Lease or Leases; or (f) proceed by court action to enforce performance by Lessee of any Lease or Financing and/or to recover all damages and expenses incurred by Lessor by reason of any Lessee Default; or (g) terminate any other agreement that Lessor may have with Lessee; or (h) exercise any other right or remedy available to Lessor at law or in equity. Also, Lessee shall pay Lessor all costs and expenses that Lessor may incur to maintain, safeguard or preserve the Equipment, and other expenses incurred by Lessor in enforcing any of the terms, conditions or provisions of this Master Agreement (including reasonable legal fees and collection agency costs). Upon repossession or surrender of any Equipment or Collateral, Lessor may lease, sell or otherwise dispose of the Equipment and/or Collateral in a commercially reasonable manner, with or without notice and at public or private sale, and apply the net proceeds thereof to the amounts owed to Lessor hereunder, but only after deducting (1) in the case of a sale, the estimated Fair Market Value of the Equipment sold as of the scheduled expiration of the Then Applicable Term of the related Lease, (2) in the case of a lease, the rent due for any period beyond the scheduled expiration of the Then Applicable Term of the related Lease, and (3) in either case, all expenses (including reasonable legal fees and costs) incurred by Lessor in connection therewith, or propose to retain any or all of the Equipment and/or Collateral in full or partial satisfaction, as the case may be, of amounts owed to Lessor hereunder; provided, however, that Lessee shall remain liable to Lessor for any deficiency that remains after any sale, lease or retention by Lessor of such Equipment. Any proceeds of any sale or lease of such Equipment in excess of the amounts owed to Lessor hereunder shall be retained by Lessor. Lessee agrees that with respect to any notice of a sale required by law to be given, 10 days’ notice shall constitute reasonable notice. Upon payment of all past due Rent and the Stipulated Loss Value as provided in clause (e) above, together with interest at the rate of 1-1/2% per month (or such lesser rate as is the maximum rate allowable under applicable law) from the date declared due until paid, Lessor will transfer to Lessee all of Lessor’s interest in the Equipment for which such Rent and Stipulated Loss Value has been paid, which transfer shall be on an “AS IS, WHERE IS” basis, without any warranty, express or implied, from Lessor, other than the absence of any liens or claims by or through Lessor. With respect to any exercise by Lessor of its right to recover and/or dispose of any Equipment or other Collateral securing Lessee’s obligations under any Schedule, Lessee acknowledges and agrees as follows: (i) Lessor shall have no obligation, subject to the requirements of commercial reasonableness, to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Equipment or any other Collateral for disposition, (ii) Lessor may comply with any applicable state or Federal law requirements in connection with any disposition of the Equipment or other Collateral, and any actions taken in connection therewith shall not be deemed to have adversely affected the commercial reasonableness of any such disposition, and (m) Lessor may convey the Equipment and any other Collateral on an “AS IS, WHERE IS” basis, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, may specifically exclude or disclaim any and all warranties, including any warranty of title or the like with respect to the disposition of the Equipment or other Collateral, and no such conveyance or such exclusion or such disclaimer of any warranty shall be deemed to have adversely affected the commercial reasonableness of any such disposition. These remedies are cumulative of every other right or remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and may be enforced concurrently or separately from time to time.

20. PERFORMANCE OF LESSEE’S OBLIGATIONS. If Lessee fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, Lessor may perform any act or make any payment that Lessor deems reasonably necessary for the preservation of Lessor’s interests therein; provided, however, that the performance of any act or payment by Lessor shall not be deemed a waiver or release of Lessee from the obligation at issue. All sums so paid by Lessor, together with expenses (including legal fees and costs) incurred by Lessor in connection therewith, shall be paid to Lessor by Lessee immediately upon demand.

21. TRUE LEASE; SECURITY INTEREST; MAXIMUM RATE. Each Lease is intended to be a “Finance Lease” as defined in Article 2A of the UCC, and Lessee hereby authorizes Lessor to file a financing statement to give public notice of Lessor’s ownership of the Equipment. The parties’ intent that each Lease be a “Finance Lease” within the meaning of Article 2A of the UCC shall have no effect on the characterization of any Lease for accounting purposes, which characterization shall be made by each party independently on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles. Lessee, by its execution of each Schedule, acknowledges that Lessor has informed it that (a) the identity of Seller is set forth in the applicable Schedule, (b) Lessee is entitled under Article 2A of the UCC to the promises and warranties, including those of any third party, provided to Lessor in connection with, or as a part of, the applicable Purchase Documents, and (c) Lessee may communicate with Seller and receive an accurate and complete statement of the promises and warranties, including any disclaimers and limitations of them or of remedies. If (1) notwithstanding the express intention of Lessor and Lessee to enter into a true lease, any Lease is ever deemed by a court of competent jurisdiction to be a lease intended for security, or (2) Lessor and Lessee enter into a Lease with the intention that it be treated as a lease intended as security by so providing in the applicable Schedule, or (3) Lessor and Lessee enter into a Financing, then to secure payment and performance of Lessee’s obligations under this Master Agreement and all Leases and Financings, Lessee hereby grants Lessor a purchase money security interest in the Collateral. In any such event, notwithstanding any provisions contained in this Master Agreement or in any Schedule, neither Lessor nor any Assignee shall be entitled to receive, collect or apply as interest any amount in excess of the maximum rate or amount permitted by applicable law. In the event Lessor or any Assignee ever receives, collects or applies as interest any amount in excess of the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, such excess amount shall be applied to the unpaid principal balance and any remaining excess shall be refunded to Lessee. In determining whether the interest paid or payable under any specific contingency exceeds the maximum rate or amount permitted by applicable law, Lessor and Lessee shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, characterize any non-principal payment as an expense or fee rather than as interest, exclude voluntary prepayments and the effect thereof, and spread the total amount of interest over the entire term of this Master Agreement and all Leases and Financings.

22. ASSIGNMENT. Lessor shall have the unqualified right to sell, assign, grant a security interest in or otherwise convey any part of its interest in this Master Agreement, any Lease or Financing or any Equipment, in whole or in part, without prior notice to or the consent of Lessee. If any Lease or Financing is sold assigned, or otherwise conveyed, Lessee agrees that (a) Assignee shall (1) have the same rights, powers and privileges that Lessor has under the applicable Lease or Financing, and (2) have the right to receive from Lessee all amounts due under the applicable Lease or Financing, in either case, to the extent assigned; and (b) it may not require Assignee to perform any obligations of Lessor, other than those that are expressly assumed in writing by Assignee. Lessee agrees to execute such acknowledgements thereto as may be reasonably requested by Lessor or Assignee. Lessee further agrees that in any action brought by such Assignee against Lessee to enforce Lessor’s rights hereunder, Lessee will not assert against such Assignee any set-off, defense or counterclaim that Lessee may have against Lessor, Assignee, or any other person. Unless otherwise specified by Lessor and Assignee, Lessee shall continue to pay all amounts due under the applicable Lease or Financing to Lessor; provided, however, that upon notification from Lessor and Assignee, Lessee covenants to pay all amounts due under the applicable Lease or financing to Assignee when due and as directed in such notice. Lessee further agrees that any Assignee may further sell, assign, grant a security interest in or otherwise convey its rights and interests under the applicable Lease or Financing with the same force and effect as the assignment described herein. Lessee may not assign, transfer, sell, sublease, pledge or otherwise dispose of this Master Agreement, any Lease or Financing, any Equipment or any interest therein.

However, no termination of this Master Agreement pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be effective with respect to any Lease or Financing that commenced prior to such termination until the expiration or termination of such Lease or Financing and the satisfaction by Lessee of all of its obligations hereunder with respect thereto.

24. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. LESSEE AND LESSOR HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO DEMAND A JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING INSTITUTED BY LESSOR OR LESSEE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS MASTER AGREEMENT OR ANY FUNDAMENTAL AGREEMENT.

(b) Consent to Jurisdiction. Lessor and Lessee consent to the jurisdiction of any local, state or Federal court located within the State of New Jersey and waive any objection relating to improper venue or forum non-conveniens to the conduct of any proceeding in any such court.

(c) Credit Review. Lessee consents to a credit review by Lessor for each Lease and Financing.

(d) Further Assurances. Lessee agrees to promptly execute and deliver to Lessor such further documents and take such further action as Lessor may require in order to more effectively carry out the intent and purpose of this Master Agreement and any Schedule. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lessee agrees (a) to furnish to Lessor from time to time, its certified financial statements, officer’s certificates and appropriate resolutions, opinions of counsel and such other information and documents as Lessor may reasonably request, and (b) to execute and timely deliver to Lessor any financing statements or other documents that Lessor deems necessary under applicable law to perfect or protect Lessor’s security interest in the Collateral or to evidence Lessor’s interest in the Equipment; provided, however, that Lessee authorizes Lessor to file any such financing statement or other document without Lessee’s authentication to the extent permitted by applicable law. Lessee hereby appoints Lessor and any agent of Lessor as Lessee’s attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, for the sole purpose of executing on behalf of Lessee such UCC financing statements as Lessor deems necessary to perfect or protect Lessor’s security interest in the Collateral or to evidence Lessor’s interest in the Equipment. Lessee acknowledges and agrees that such appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the expiration or termination of all Leases and Financings and the satisfaction by Lessee of all of its obligations hereunder. It is also agreed that Lessor or Lessor’s agent may file as a financing statement, any lease document (or copy thereof, where permitted by law) that Lessor deems appropriate to perfect or protect Lessor’s security interest in the Collateral or to evidence Lessor’s interest in the Equipment. Upon demand, Lessee will promptly reimburse Lessor for any filing or recordation fees or expenses (including legal fees and costs) incurred by Lessor in perfecting or protecting its interests in any Collateral or the Equipment.

All references in this Master Agreement to Sections, Annexes and Exhibits refer to Sections hereof, Annexes hereof and Exhibits hereto unless otherwise indicated.

(f) Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Master Agreement and all other Fundamental Agreements executed by both Lessor and Lessee constitute the entire agreement between Lessor and Lessee relating to the leasing of the Equipment and the financing of Financed Items, and supersede all prior agreements relating thereto, whether written or oral, and may not be amended or modified except in a writing signed by the parties hereto.

(g) No Waiver. Any failure of Lessor to require strict performance by Lessee, or any written waiver by Lessor of any provision hereof, shall not constitute consent or waiver of any other breach of the same or any other provision hereof.

(h) Lessor Affiliates. Lessee understands and agrees that Hewlett-Packard Financial Services Company or any affiliate or subsidiary thereof may, as lessor, execute Schedules under this Master Agreement, in which event the terms and conditions of the applicable Schedule and this Master Agreement, as it relates to the lessor under such Schedule, shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of such entity executing such Schedule as lessor, as well as any successors or assigns of such entity.

(i) Lessee Affiliates. A Lessee Affiliate may enter into a Lease or Financing under and subject to the terms and conditions of this Master Agreement by executing a Schedule incorporating this Master Agreement by reference, in which case such Lessee Affiliate shall be deemed, for purposes of such Lease or Financing, to be the “Lessee” under this Master Agreement, The undersigned Lessee hereby unconditionally guarantees to Lessor the full and prompt payment, observance and performance when due of all obligations of all Lessee Affiliates (collectively, “Guaranteed Obligations”) under all such Leases and Financings. The foregoing guarantee is absolute, continuing, unlimited and independent and shall not be affected, diminished or released for any reason whatsoever. The undersigned Lessee waives diligence, presentment, demand for payment, protest or notice of any Lessee Default or nonperformance by any Lessee Affiliate, all affirmative defenses, offsets and counterclaims against Lessor, any right to the benefit of any security or statute of limitations, and any requirement that Lessor proceed first against a Lessee Affiliate or any collateral security. Until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full, Lessee shall have no right of subrogation.

(j) Invalidity. If any provision of this Master Agreement or any Schedule shall be prohibited by or invalid under law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Master Agreement or such Schedule.

(k) Counterparts. This Master Agreement may be executed in counterparts, which collectively shall constitute one document,

(l) Lessor Reliance. In connection with its execution of this Master Agreement, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor an officer’s certificate (or partner’s or member’s certificate as appropriate) in form and substance acceptable to Lessor, executed by a duly authorized officer (or partner or member) of Lessee and certifying as to, among other things, Lessee’s authority to enter into this Master Agreement and Leases and Financings hereunder and the authority of Lessee’s officers or representatives specified therein to execute this Master Agreement and all other Fundamental Agreements. Lessor may act in reliance upon any instruction, instrument or signature reasonably believed by Lessor in good faith to be genuine. Lessor may assume that any employee of Lessee who executes any document or gives any written notice, request or instruction has the authority to do so.

Master Space Agreement

This Master Space Agreement between Quality Investment Properties Metro, LLC, (“QTS”) and Five9, Inc.

Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning given in the definition section of this Agreement.

 

1. LICENSES OF CUSTOMER SPACE AND ORDERS FOR SERVICES. This Agreement is a master agreement under which Customer may license Customer Space and order Services from time to time by written agreement between Customer and QTS. To the extent of any inconsistency between this Agreement and the Work Order, the Work Order shall govern. Customer may cancel a Work Order by written notice to QTS at any time prior to Work Order written acceptance by QTS.

2. TERM. The Term for this Agreement shall begin on the Effective Date and expire at the termination of the last order for services. The Term for each Work Order shall begin on the Start Date and expire on the Expiration Date. QTS may provide Customer a Target Date for a Work Order, and if so, will use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver the Customer Space or Services on the Target Date. Notwithstanding, should QTS fail to deliver the Customer Space or commence delivery of the Services by the Target Date, and fail to cure same within thirty (30) days of Customer’s written notice of such failure, Customer may terminate the specific Work Order in its sole discretion, upon written notice delivered to QTS within thirty (30) days of such failure to cure. In the event of such termination, neither party shall be liable for damages arising out of the failure to perform, other than any accrued amounts owed. The termination or expiration of a Work Order will not affect Customer’s other Space or Services under one or more separate Work Orders.

3. FEES AND PAYMENT TERMS.

3.1 Payment Terms. QTS will invoice Customer for all Customer Space and Services on a monthly basis, with fixed recurring charges invoiced in advance and all other changes invoiced in arrears. Customer will pay, by check or wire transfer, each undisputed invoice in full upon receipt. If Customer disputes any portion of an invoice, Customer will notify QTS in writing of such dispute within thirty (30) days of the invoice date. A dispute as to any portion of an invoice does not relieve Customer from timely payment of the undisputed portion. Fees for each of the licensed Customer Spaces or Services in a Work Order begin to accrue at the Start Date.

3.2 Ability To Pay/Security Deposit. Upon request, Customer shall provide QTS with information reasonable requested by QTS to determine Customer’s ability to pay. A security deposit *** as set out in the Work Order may be required to accompany each Work Order. The security deposit shall be applied to the last two months of Licenses or Services with any short fall or overage adjustment applied to the last month of Licenses or Services. In the event of an uncured breach of this Agreement by Customer, QTS shall, with written notice and without limiting its remedies otherwise available, have the right to apply the deposit to the damages suffered by QTS as a result of such breach. QTS shall not be required to keep the security deposit in trust, segregate it or keep it separate from QTS’s general funds, but QTS may commingle the security deposit with its general funds and Customer shall not be entitled to interest on such deposit.

3.3 Late Payments. Any payment not received by QTS within thirty (30) days of the invoice date will accrue interest at a rate of one and one half percent (1  12%) per month (compounded daily), or the highest rate allowed by applicable law, whichever is lower.

3.4 Taxes. Customer shall be responsible for all taxes related to the provision of Customer Space or Services, except for taxes based on QTS’s net income.

7. MUTUAL CONFIDENTIALITY

7.1 Disclosure and Use. Each party agrees that it will not use in any way, nor disclose to any third party, the other party’s Confidential Information, and will take reasonable precautions to protect the confidentiality of such information, at least as stringently as it takes to protect its own Confidential Information, but in no case will the degree of care be less than reasonable care. Nothing herein shall preclude disclosure by a party (i) to that party’s attorneys, accountants, lenders and other advisors and employees who have a bona fide need to know the other party’s Confidential Information in connection with the receiving party’s performance under this Agreement and are under an obligation of confidentiality no less stringent than this Section 7, (ii) to any potential transferee or assignee of all or any portion of the Data Center, or in connection with a merger or acquisition of all or substantially all of its assets, or (iii) any disclosure that a party concludes that it is required to make as a matter of law (including, without limitation, in accordance with the rules and regulations of a national stock exchange, the Securities and Exchange Commission or other securities law regulators), provided that such disclosure is made after good faith consultation with counsel with respect thereto.

Customer may terminate this Agreement in the event that QTS breaches any material term of this Agreement and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of the same; provided, however QTS’ failure to meet a Service Level Guarantee is not a material breach of this Agreement if QTS provides the required Service Level Credit (as defined in the Addendum attached hereto and incorporated by this reference herein) as set forth in·the Addendum.

9.2 Early Termination. In the event Customer desires to terminate any License or Services prior to the end of the Term (other than as provided in Section 9.1 herein or Section 5.7(b) of the Colocation Addendum attached hereto), or if the Licenses or Services are terminated by QTS as provided in Section 9.1 herein, Customer shall pay a termination charge equal to the costs incurred by QTS in returning the space to a condition suitable for use by other paties, plus the percentage of the remaining monthly recurring fees that would have been charged for the Customer Space and Services for the Term (as applicable on the date of said termination) calculated as follows:

Subject to the facts existing at the time, Customer shall, within ten (10) days’ prior written notice from QTS (but only in connection with a sale, financing, transfer, lease or similar transaction), deliver to QTS a signed statement certifying the following information (but not limited to the following information in the event further information is reasonably required by QTS): (i) that this Agreement is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying that this Agreement, as modified is in full force and effect); (ii) the dates to which the fees and other charges due under this Agreement are paid in advance, if any; (iii) the amount of Customer’s security deposit, if any; and (iv) acknowledging, if true and correct, that there are not any uncured defaults or breaches on the aprt of QTS under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all Addendum and Work Orders), and no events conditions then in existence which, with the passage of time or notice or both, would constitute a default or breach on the part of QTS under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all Addendum and Work Orders), or specifying such defaults events or conditions, if any are claimed. It is expressly

understood and agreed that any such statement may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser or encumbrance of all or any portion of the Data Center.

10.19 Subordination. Customer accepts this Agreement subject and subordinate to any mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secure debt, ground lease or master lease of QTS and to any renewals, modifications, consolidation, refinancing and extensions thereof. It is understood that QTS’s interest in the Customer Space and Data Center may be that of ground lessee, rather than owner. This provision is hereby declared to be self-operative and no further instrument shall be required to effect such subordination of this Agreement, provided, however, Customer shall, within ten (10) days after QTS’s written request therefor, execute, acknowledge and deliver any documents reasonably requested by QTS to assure the subordination of this Agreement to any of the same. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the lessor under any such lease or the holder of any such deed to secure debt advises QTS that they desire to require this Agreement to be prior and superior thereto, upon written request of QTS to Customer, Customer agrees to promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver any documents which QTS or such lessor, holder or holders reasonably deem necessary for purposes thereof.

support in connection with (a) all equipment and personal property to be used by Customer in the Customer Space, including without limitation, Customer Equipment, and (b) all telecommunications, data, Internet and power cabling of lines and connections from the Point of Demarcation into and throughout the Customer Space as provided by Customer.

2.3 Throughout the Term of the Agreement, Customer shall maintain the Customer Space in an orderly and safe condition in accordance with all applicable laws, and the Rules and Regulations. Customer shall provide the Customer Access Roster to QTS on or prior to the Start Date, and thereafter, from time to time, as the information in the Customer Access Roster may change or be amended by Customer (including names, addresses, signatures, pager numbers, e-mail address and telephone number of the then current Representatives). Customer or its contractors shall be responsible for and shall properly maintain in accordance with manufacturer instructions and requirements the Customer Equipment and all personal property located in the Customer Space (“Customer Maintenance”).

2.4 Except as more specifically set forth on a Work Order, Customer is entitled to use up to, but not to exceed, 150 watts of electric power per square foot of Customer Space (“Power Capacity”). QTS will notify Customer when electric power usage reaches 90- 95% of Power Capacity. In the event that Customer’s electric power consumption exceeds 100% of Power Capacity consistently for five (5) consecutive hours (“Excess Demand”). Customer agrees that it will immediately reduce its electric power consumption to below 100% of Power Capacity or upgrade its contract with QTS by executing a Work Order to increase Power Capacity. The only method of increasing Power Capacity is to contract for additional contiguous Customer Space (the purchase of non-contiguous customer space will not increase Customer’s Power Capacity). If contiguous customer space is not available, Customer must immediately reduce it electric power consumption to below 100% of Power Capacity. If Customer fails to execute a Work Order to increase Power Capacity within five (5) days after receipt of notice for QTS of Excess Demand, or fails to reduce its electric power consumption, Customer will be subject to suspension of electric power. According to the National Electrical Installation Standards, the maximum utilization of any power circuit is 80% of the maximum capacity of that power circuit. Customer shall take the necessary precautions to avoid exceeding 80% utilization on any power circuit, in the event that Customer’s utilization exceeds 80% of maximum capacity on any power circuit, the power related remedies and Service Level Credits set forth in Section 5.2 herein shall not apply.

2.5 In the event of a data security breach, Customer shall coordinate with QTS in its efforts to comply with applicable data breach notification laws and shall submit any data security breach notices, press releases, announcements or other disclosures to QTS prior to mailing of other publication.

4.5 Unless otherwise agreed in writing by QTS, QTS shall not be responsible for the installation, removal, operation, maintenance or replacement of any Customer Equipment.

4.6 The parties understand and agree that use of telecommunications and data communications networks and the Internet may not be secure and that connection to and transmission of data and information over the Internet and such facilities provides the opportunity for unauthorized access to computer systems, networks, and all data stored therein. Information and data transmitted through the internet or stored on any equipment through which Internet information is transmitted may not remain confidential and QTS does not make any representation or warranty regarding privacy, security, authenticity, and non-corruption or destruction of any such information. QTS does not warrant that the Services or Customer’s use will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure. QTS shall not be responsible for any adverse consequence or loss whatsoever to Customer’s (or its users’ or subscribers’) use of the Internet. Use of any information transmitted or obtained by Customer using the QTS network or the Internet is at Customer’s own risk. QTS is not responsible for the accuracy of information obtained through its network, including as a result

Customer shall own its own registered domain names and shall disclose any private or proxy domain name registrations to QTS immediately on request.

4.8 To the extent Customer orders any Service designated as “Burstable” (meaning Customer has the ability to use Services in excess of the Committed Data Rate), Customer will be billed for (a) the Committed Data Rate, and (b) the Excess Use at the price per Mbps set forth in the Order. Customer’s use will be sampled in five-minute inbound and outbound averages during each month. At the end of the month in which such use is measured, the top five percent (5%) of the inbound and outbound averages shall be discarded. The highest of the resulting ninety-five percent (95%) for inbound and outbound averages will be compared to the Committed Data Rate, and if that ninety-fifth percentile (95) of traffic is higher than the Committed Data Rate, the difference between the highest of either average and the Committed Data Rate shall be the “Excess Use”.

4.9 If Customer is an international, federal, state, or local governmental agency, the purchase order submitted by Customer shall contain the following language:

“Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary on the face of this purchase order or on any attachments to this purchase order, this purchase order is being used for administrative purposes only, and this order is placed under and subject solely to the terms and conditions of the QTS Master Space Agreement and Addendum for Colocation and Internet Access, executed between Customer and QTS.”

Licensors and Customer further agree as follows:

1. LICENSE AGREEMENT & TERM

(A) The Basic Provisions are incorporated herein. Undefined capitalized terms used in this MSA are defined in Section 13 of this MSA.

(B) For the Term, CoreSite shall license the Space to Customer for the purposes described in this MSA, and provide the Space-Related Services to Customer, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of this MSA; accordingly, CoreSite hereby grants to Customer a license, for the Term, to use the Space to install, maintain, repair and operate Equipment, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this MSA. For the Term, Customer shall license the Space from CoreSite for the purposes described in this MSA and agrees to pay all amounts under this MSA in connection with such license and the Space-Related Services received by it.

(C) For the Term, CoreSite Services shall provide the Non-Space-Related Services to Customer, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of this MSA and Customer agrees to pay all amounts under this MSA in connection therewith.

(D) The Term of this MSA shall commence on the Commencement Date and shall expire on the Expiration Date, subject to any extension or termination of this MSA if and to the extent set forth in this MSA.

(E) The Parties acknowledge and agree that this MSA is a space license and service agreement and does not constitute a lease, sublease or easement. Except to the extent set forth to the contrary in this MSA, no Party shall have any right to cancel or terminate this MSA (or any Order Form), or any license(s) under this MSA (or any Order Form), and the Parties shall remain fully responsible for all obligations and amounts payable under this MSA for the entire Term. In no event shall Customer record this MSA or any memorandum or notice thereof. Except with respect to Customer’s right to use the interior of any cabinet or cage constituting the Space, all rights of Customer (and all licenses hereunder) shall be on a non-exclusive basis.

(F) CoreSite shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver the Space to Customer by the Commencement Date; provided, however, if CoreSite falls to deliver the Space to

Customer by the Commencement Date, CoreSite shall not be subject to any liability, and such failure shall not affect the validity of this MSA nor the obligations of the Parties under this MSA nor the date that CoreSite is able to deliver, and delivers, the Space shall thenceforth be the Commencement Date (and, in such event, the length of the Term shall not be reduced thereby, and the scheduled Expiration Date shall be extended, if necessary, to provide for the full Term). On the date of the expiration or termination of the Term, Customer shall have no further rights with respect to the Space and shall, by such date, (i) remove from the Space (and Building) all Equipment, and repair all damage resulting from such removal, and (ii) vacate and return and surrender the Space to CoreSite in the same condition as it was when delivered to Customer, with the same property as existed when delivered to Customer (e.g., ladder racking, cage walls, power drops, power panels and ductwork), ordinary wear and tear and casualty damage excepted. If Customer does not timely remove the Equipment, or if Customer is past due or otherwise Delinquent in any payments when this MSA expires or is terminated, CoreSite may, without limiting any other rights or remedies, at Customer’s expense, remove and. store the Equipment and/or sell or otherwise dispose of the same (and apply the proceeds therefrom to amounts owing to CoreSite) in accordance with Laws.

(G) All Services shall be ordered and provided via separate Order Form or other non-discriminatory system and procedure reasonably designated by Licensors. Upon the expiration or termination of the Term, Licensors may discontinue any or all Services for which they are responsible to provide hereunder during the Term, and may, upon the expiration or termination of the term set forth in any Order Form with respect to a particular Service discontinue such Service.

(i) If Customer continues to use or occupy the Space after the expiration or termination of the Term with CoreSite’s consent, such use shall be from month-to-month and terminable by either CoreSite or Customer upon 30 days’ written notice. Such use or occupation of the Space shall not constitute a renewal or extension of this MSA or any Order Form. In such case, Customer shall pay CoreSite monthly License Fees for the Space equal to the Post-Term License Fee Percentage of the full monthly License Fees in effect during the final month of the Term (without taking into account any credit, reduction or abatement), in addition to all other amounts, including, without limitation, any Space-Related Service Fees owing to CoreSite for Customer’s receipt of any Space-Related Services during such use or occupation.

 

 

Five9, Inc.; 2972 Stender Way, Santa Clara, CA   5   


(ii) If Customer continues to use or occupy the Space after the expiration or termination of the Term with CoreSite’s consent in accordance with Section l(G)i, and during such use or occupation continues to receive any Non-Space-Related Services with CoreSite Service’s consent, such use will be co-terminous with Customer’s continued use and occupation of the Space, unless terminated by CoreSite Services or Customer upon 30 days’ written notice. The receipt of such Non-Space-Related Services shall not constitute a renewal or extension of this MSA or any Order Form. In such case, Customer shall pay CoreSite Services the Service Fees for such Non-Space-Related Services in effect during the final month of the Term (without taking into account any credit, reduction or abatement).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer shall not be entitled to use the Space or Space Related Services after the expiration or termination of the Term without CoreSite’s prior written consent (in its sole and absolute discretion), and shall not be entitled to use the Non-Space-Related Services after the expiration or termination of the Term without CoreSite Service’s prior written consent (in its sole and absolute discretion).

(H) Nothing contained in this MSA shall be deemed (i) to obligate CoreSite Services to meet any obligation of CoreSite arising hereunder, or (ii) to obligate CoreSite to meet any obligation of .CoreSite Services arising hereunder.

2. PAYMENT

(A) Except to the extent otherwise set forth in this MSA, Customer shall pay to Licensors all monthly Service Fees, License Fees, and other amounts in advance, within 30 days after Customer’s receipt of invoice. Concurrently with Customer’s execution of this MSA, Customer shall pay to CoreSite the Monthly License Fees for the 1st full month in which Bi Monthly License Fees are payable, and the initial Non-Recurring Fee for the Space. Payments for partial calendar months shall be prorated based on the number of days in such month. All other amounts payable by Customer shall be paid by Customer to Licensors within 30 days after the date of Licensors’ invoice. License Fees and Service Fees shall be payable for the entire Term regardless of whether Customer uses the Space or Services. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this MSA, without limiting either Licensor’s ability to send invoices via other means, (i) an invoice shall be

considered properly delivered by a Licensor and received by Customer upon such Licensor’s e-mailing of the invoice to the Invoice E-Mail Address set forth in the Basic Provisions (or any other e-mail address that such Licensor reasonably considers to be a working e-mail address for Customer), and (ii) an invoice shall be considered properly delivered by Licensors and received by Customer upon the Licensors making the invoice available for Customer’s review on the Licensor’s on-line Customer account system (currently, the “OSS”).

(B) Without limiting any other rights or remedies of Licensors, any amounts payable by Customer that are not paid when due (a “Shortfall”), a late fee of *** (or the maximum amount permitted by Law if such maximum amount is less than such late fee) of the Shortfall shall be due and payable to Licensors. Licensors shall apportion any late fees accruing on the Shortfall in proportion to the relative amount owed by Customer to each Licensor for the month in which the Shortfall occurs.

(C) All License Fees and Service Fees are exclusive of all taxes (including, without limitation, sales, use, transfer, privilege, excise, VAT, GST, consumption and other similar taxes), fees, duties, governmental assessments, impositions and levies imposed on the transaction in question (including, without limitation, the delivery of Services), all of which Customer shall pay in full (including, without limitation, any and all of the foregoing relating to carbon and: climate/environment control), other than Licensors’ income, estate, gift or, except as may be set forth in this MSA, real estate taxes.

Payments shall not be made by Customer via Federal Express or other overnight courier, or by messenger. All non-recurring fees are non-refundable and shall be paid by Customer to the Licensor entitled to receive such non-recurring fees, and shall belong to such Licensor. Customer shall be responsible for any fees incurred by either Licensor as a result of any check not being honored by the drawee thereof. In the event any check provided by or on behalf of Customer to either Licensor is not honored by the drawee thereof more than twice, in

the aggregate, then either Licensor may require that Customer pay all amounts in connection with this MSA by wire transfer only, in accordance with wire transfer instructions provided by such Licensor.

(D) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth herein, unless and until Customer is notified otherwise in writing by Licensors, CoreSite Services shall act as agent for CoreSite for the purpose of collecting all payments due and payable to CoreSite hereunder. In furtherance of the foregoing, CoreSite hereby directs Customer to make all such payments to CoreSite Services, which payments shall be made together with, and shall be in the form requested by CoreSite with respect to, payments due and payable to CoreSite Services hereunder. Customer will continue to make such payments due and payable to CoreSite to CoreSite Services until directed otherwise in writing by CoreSite, and CoreSite acknowledges and agrees that payment of any fees hereunder, including License Fees and Power Fees or any other amount that is due to CoreSite by Customer, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2 shall constitute performance by Customer under this MSA as to all such amounts paid. CoreSite Services agrees that any payments collected by CoreSite Services as agent for CoreSite shall be remitted to CoreSite. For purposes of clarity and without limiting the generality of the application of this Section 2(D), Licensors may, in their sole discretion, provide Customer with separate invoices setting forth the fees and charges owing to each Licensor, and Licensors are not obligated hereunder to provide Customer a single invoice setting forth the charges owing to Licensors under this MSA.

(E) If Customer, in good faith, disputes any amount in an invoice that has been charged by Licensors to Customer under this MSA, Customer may notify Licensors in writing of such good faith dispute (“Good Faith Dispute Notice”) no later than thirty (30) days after Customer’s receipt of such invoice; provided, however, that Customer shall not be permitted to dispute any amount that is set forth in the MSA or Order Form as a specific dollar amount. Customer shall not be responsible for any late fees accruing on any such disputed amount only if Customer is able to demonstrate, to the reasonable satisfaction of Licensors, within thirty (30) days after Licensors’ receipt of Customer’s Good Faith Dispute Notice, that such disputed amount was erroneously charged to Customer. If Customer does not demonstrate, to the reasonable satisfaction of Licensors, within thirty (30) days after Licensor’s receipt of Customer’s Good Faith Dispute Notice, that such disputed amount was

erroneously charged, Customer shall pay such disputed amount to Licensors within ten (10) days after Licensor’s demand.

During the initial twelve (12) months of the Term (the “Expansion Term”), Licensors hereby grant the original Customer named in this MSA (“Original Customer”) the right to increase the Critical Power Limit of the Cage Space by an increment of 64.8 critical kWs (or an (A) Dedicated Panel and (B) Dedicated Panel) and the additional contiguous space capable of accommodating such power increase, in CoreSite’s reasonable discretion (an “Expansion Option”). An Expansion Option shall be exercisable only by written notice delivered by Customer to CoreSite as set forth below and Customer may only exercise an Expansion Option no more than *** occasions during the Expansion Term. The rights contained in this Section 14 shall be personal to the Original Customer and may only be exercised by the Original Customer (and not any assignee, sublicensee or other transferee of the Original Customer’s interest in this MSA).

Provided no Customer Default exists, Customer may exercise an Expansion Option during the Expansion Term by providing CoreSite sixty (60) days prior written notice (each an “Expansion Notice”) of its intention to expand. The additional License Fees and Service Fees payable by Customer for each Expansion Option shall be equal to the then-current license fees and service fees (and increases thereto) that are in effect for the initial Cage Space. If Customer timely and properly exercises and Expansion Option, the Parties shall document the exercise of the Expansion Option by entering into an amendment to this MSA. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this MSA, the license of all additional space and power associated with an Expansion Option shall be coterminous with the Term of the initial Cage Space.

15. RENEWAL OPTION.

Subject to the terms of this Section 15, Licensors hereby grant the Original Customer *** option (the “Renewal Option”) to extend the Term of this MSA for a period of ***

(the “Renewal Term”), which Renewal Option shall be exercisable only by written notice delivered by Customer to Licensor as set forth below. The rights contained in this Section 15 shall be personal to the Original Customer and may only be exercised by the Original Customer (and not any assignee, sublicensee or other transferee of the Original Customer’s interest in this MSA).

The License Fees and Service Fees payable by Customer during the Renewal Term shall be equal to the “Market Fees” (as defined below). “Market Fees” shall mean the applicable license fees and service fees (and increases thereto) that would be charged to unaffiliated customers for telecommunications data center space and services comparable to the subject Space and Services in comparable data centers in the Santa Clara, California area and in the Building, as of the commencement of the Renewal Term (taking into account the available Services, any improvement expenses and allowances to be incurred by Licensor, any other monetary concessions granted by Licensors (such as brokerage commissions)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Market Fees shall not exceed *** of the License and Service Fees (except for Power Fees, which are subject to local utility rates) immediately preceding the expiration of the initial Term.

The Renewal Option shall be exercised by Customer, if at all, only in the following manner: (i) no Customer Default exists on the delivery date of the Interest Notice (defined below) and Customer’s Acceptance; (ii) Customer shall deliver written notice (“Interest Notice”) to Licensor not more than 12 months nor less than 6 months prior to the expiration of the initial Term, stating that Customer is interested in exercising the Renewal Option, (iii) within 15 business days of Licensors’ receipt of the Interest Notice, Licensors shall deliver notice (“Renewal Fees Notice”) to Customer setting forth the Market Fees for the Renewal Term; and (iv) if Customer desires to exercise the Renewal Option, Customer shall provide Licensors written notice within 15 business days after receipt of the Renewal Fees Notice (“Customer’s Acceptance”). Customer’s failure to deliver the Interest Notice or Customer’s Acceptance on or before the dates specified above shall be deemed to constitute Customer’s election not to exercise the Renewal Option. If Customer timely and properly exercises the Renewal Option, then, the Term of this MSA shall be extended for the Renewal Term upon all of the terms and conditions set forth in

IS A BINDING LEGAL AGREEMENT THAT

REQUIRES YOUR RESPONSE

-DO NOT DISCARD-

 

RE: Letter Agreement Promissory Note to Pay Delinquent Federal Universal Service

Fund Contributions—Five9, Inc., Filer ID #829544 (Debtor)

Dear Mr. Hill:

The purpose of this Letter Agreement Promissory Note (Note) is for Five9, Inc. (Debtor) to acknowledge its debts and to confirm the terms and conditions under which Debtor promises to pay its delinquent Universal Service Fund (USF) contributions in installment payments under an Installment Payment Plan. Debtor certifies that the person signing is duly authorized and empowered to represent and bind Debtor, and to acknowledge Debtor’s legal obligation to pay the full amount of the delinquent debts and accrued interest and fees in accordance with the following terms:

 

    For value received, Debtor promises to pay to the order of the Universal Service Administrative Company, the not-for-profit corporation designated as the administrator of the federal universal service program that is authorized to act on behalf of the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC” or “Commission”) with respect to the terms and conditions of the Promissory Note, the principal sum of FOUR MILLION SEVENTY-FIVE THOUSAND FORTY-NINE AND 92/100 DOLLARS ($4,075,049.92) (Principal Amount), together with accrued interest, computed at the annual rate of 12.75% per annum on the unpaid Principal Amount hereof, from the Effective Date of this Note, July 16, 2013, until the entire Principal Amount has been paid in full.

 

    Debtor acknowledges and agrees that the Principal Amount is the current total of Debtor’s unpaid mandatory contributions to Universal Service Support plus accrued but unpaid interest and administrative charges, which is a debt owed to the United States as defined by 31 U.S.C. § 3701, and the DCIA,1 and any amendments thereto.

    Debtor agrees to remit, on or before July 16, 2013, an Administrative Fee of SEVEN THOUSAND AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($7,000.00).

 

    Commencing on August 15, 2013, and continuing on the 15th day of each successive month, except that if said due date is not a Business Day, then payment is due and payable on the prior Business Day, Debtor shall make 42 monthly payments of principal and interest equal to ONE HUNDRED TWENTY THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED EIGHTY-FOUR AND 63/100 DOLLARS ($120,784.63) (Monthly Payment). The entire unpaid Principal Amount together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and all other remaining obligations of Debtor hereunder, if not sooner paid, shall be due and payable on January 13, 2017 (Maturity Date).

 

    Prepayment and Partial Payment. Debtor may prepay all or any part of the Principal Amount without premium or penalty upon ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) (Attn: USAC Manager of Financial Operations). Partial prepayments of a Monthly Payment shall not postpone or reduce regular payments to be made hereunder. All such prepayments shall be applied first to applicable accrued late charges, costs and expenses, administrative penalties or charges, second to applicable accrued and unpaid interest, and third to principal. In the event Debtor prepays all or a portion of the Principal Amount, interest shall be calculated on the Principal Amount remaining after such prepayment, and the interest portions of the payments thereafter required shall be reduced accordingly.

 

    True-up Credits. In addition to the Debtor’s required Monthly Payment, in any month in which USAC determines that Debtor may be due a True-up Credit, USAC will first apply the Monthly Payment, and thereafter apply any True-up Credit to reduce the unpaid Principal Amount effective as of the due date of the payment of the invoice projecting the credit amount. Furthermore, Debtor acknowledges and agrees that any True-up Credit will not be applied to satisfy a Monthly Payment, and that any failure to make a Monthly Payment on or before the due date specified in this Note shall be an Event of Default.

 

    All payments to be made hereunder, of principal, interest, costs, expenses, or other sums due, shall be made to the holder of this Note in Lawful Money of the United States of America in the following manner: Debtor’s Administrative Fee is due on or before July 16, 2013, for $7,000.00, and first installment payment of $120,784.63 is due on or before August 15, 2013. The Administrative Fee, first installment and all subsequent installment payments shall be remitted in one of the following ways:

RE:     Five9, Inc.

    Registration Statement on Form S-1

    Filed March 3, 2014

    CIK No. 0001288847

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Five9, Inc. (the “Company”) has today filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) its Registration Statement on Form S-1 (CIK No. 0001288847) (the “Registration Statement”). On behalf of the Company, we are responding to the comments of the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Commission (the “Staff”) contained in the letter dated February 21, 2014. For ease of reference, the text of the Staff’s comments is included in bold-face type below, followed in each case by the Company’s response. Except as otherwise provided, page references included in the body of the Company’s responses are to the Registration Statement.

General

 

1. Please update your financial statements and related financial information included in the filing, as necessary, to comply with Rule 3-12 of Regulation S-X.

Response: The Company has revised its disclosure in response to the Staff’s comment.

Revenue Recognition, page F-38

 

2. We note your response to prior comment 11 and that you employ the stated renewal rate method to establish VSOE of fair value for your maintenance and support services. Please explain how you determined that VSOE of fair value for your maintenance and support services is substantive. We refer you to ASC 985-605-25-67.

Response: The Company advises the Staff that there was one arrangement that would have potentially qualified for treatment in accordance with the guidance under ASC 985-605 as it involved the licensing, selling, leasing or otherwise marketing of computer software and related elements. However, this agreement was evaluated and Face It, Corp. determined that the nature of the deliverables did not meet certain revenue recognition criteria until all deliverables under the arrangement had been completed. As a result, revenue under this arrangement was fully deferred until all deliverables under the arrangement had been delivered. The Company has revised its disclosure in response to the Staff’s comment to ensure accuracy as to the revenue policies and accounting applied during the periods presented in the financial statements. Please see page F-40.

Supplemental Matters

The Company supplementally advises the Staff that, on February 25, 2014, representatives of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Barclays Capital Inc., on behalf of the underwriters for the Company’s proposed initial public offering (“IPO”), and the Company discussed preliminary valuations, based on current market conditions and recent initial public offerings of other companies in the technology industry, and determined that the preliminary price rage would be between [***] per share (the “Preliminary Price Range”). The Preliminary Price Range assumes a [***] reverse stock split prior to the completion of the IPO. Prior to February 25, 2014, the Company had not held discussions with the underwriters regarding a preliminary price range for the IPO. The Company understands that it will need to narrow the Preliminary Price Range in accordance with CD&I 134.04 when it commences the road show for the IPO.

The Company supplementally advises the Staff that the Company does not intend to disclose the Preliminary Price Range in the Registration Statement until immediately before it commences the road show for the IPO, which is currently scheduled to commence on or about [***].
