CLASS B COMMON STOCK
 
Qualtrics International Inc. is offering            shares of its Class B common stock. This is our initial public offering, and no public market currently exists for our shares. We anticipate that the initial public offering price will be between $         and $         per share.
 
We have applied to list our Class B common stock on The Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “XM.”
 
We have three classes of common stock: Class A-1 common stock, Class A-2 common stock, and Class B common stock. The rights of the holders of Class A-1 common stock, Class A-2 common stock, and Class B common stock are different with respect to voting, conversion, and transfer rights. Each share of Class B common stock is entitled to one vote. Each share of Class A-1 common stock is entitled to ten votes. Each share of Class A-2 common stock is also entitled to ten votes, but in the event that the total voting power of the Class A-2 common stock represents less than 51% of the total voting power of all our outstanding capital stock, then the voting power of each share of Class A-2 common stock will be automatically increased so that the Class A-2 common stock collectively holds 51% of our total voting power. In such event, the voting power of shares of Class B common stock (the shares being issued in this offering) and Class A-1 common stock will be automatically and proportionately reduced. Upon completion of this offering, approximately 87% of our Class A-2 common stock will be held by Grandview Holdings, LLC, the managers of which are our founders, including our Chief Executive Officer (who is also a director), our President (who is also a director), and our former President (who is also a director). This means that, for the foreseeable future, investors in this offering and holders of our Class B common stock in the future will not have a meaningful voice in our corporate affairs and that the control of our company will be concentrated with Grandview Holdings, LLC and the other holders of our Class A-2 common stock. See the section titled “Risk FactorsRisks Related to Ownership of Our Class B Common Stock and this Offering” for additional information.
 
We are an “emerging growth company” as defined under the federal securities laws and, as such, may elect to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements for this and future filings. Investing in our Class B common stock involves risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 17.

QUALTRICS INTERNATIONAL INC.
Overview
Qualtrics has pioneered a new category of software that enables organizations to succeed in today’s experience economy. Our mission is to help organizations deliver the experiences that turn their customers into fanatics, employees into ambassadors, brands into religions, and products into obsessions.
We Live in an Experience Economy
Today, organizations thrive or fail based on the experiences they deliver. In a world of abundant choice, experiences differentiate brands and products, and foster customer and employee loyalty. Great experiences drive customer loyalty, upsell and expansion, employee engagement, brand quality, improved retention and referral, and ultimately, greater shareholder value. Conversely, unfavorable experiences lead to increased churn, lower productivity, diminished competitiveness, and value destruction. With the advent of digital communication channels, favorable or unfavorable experiences can be shared instantly and spread virally, amplifying these impacts and raising the stakes for organizations of all types and sizes. 
Executives Must Own All Dimensions of Experience
In this environment, C-level executives are increasingly accountable for issues that transcend basic product and service quality and encompass all of the dimensions that surround those offerings. This extends to thousands of often subtle factors that determine the quality of experiences their organizations deliver, including company culture, speed, convenience, attentiveness, design, and ease of use. We believe that customer, employee, brand, and product experience represent the four vital signs of organizational well-being and that executives are now measured on their performance across these domains. Customer and employee expectations are high, setting up the potential for significant gaps between actual and anticipated experiences. Yet, executives often lack the tools to understand, assess, and take decisive action to address these “experience gaps” as they arise. Today, disruptive start-ups and other businesses flourish by identifying such gaps and designing experiences that attack these blind spots of incumbents.
Organizations Need to Address Experience Directly, in the Moment
While organizations have traditionally deployed consultants or other third parties to gather data about customer and employee satisfaction, the increasing centrality, complexity, and nuance of delivering great experiences has compelled C-level executives to seek the capability to understand and take ownership of these matters directly and in real time. Given the immediate nature of experience, there is also a strong desire to allow individuals at every level in an organization to comprehend changes in experience quality and empower them to act decisively when it matters most.
We Pioneered Experience Management to Power the Experience Economy
We have created a new category of software, Experience Management, or XM, which enables organizations to address the challenges and opportunities presented by the experience economy. XM allows organizations to accomplish the following:
Comprehensively gather and analyze a new class of data, Experience Data, or X-data, that is richer, more immediate, and more salient to understanding quality of experience than traditional operational data, or O-

Table of Contents

data, which comes from sources such as customer relationship management, or CRM, enterprise resource planning, or ERP, human capital management, or HCM, Customer Service, and Marketing Automation systems. X-data is the human factor data — individual beliefs, emotions, and intentions — collected across multiple channels through which customers and employees engage with an organization.
Go beyond an assessment of what is happening within organizations to an understanding of why trends are emerging in the moment.
Address experience holistically, unifying information and insights from customers, employees, and partners and recognizing the operational linkages between the sentiment of these constituencies.
Become more predictive and proactive, closing feedback loops, and turning insight into real-time action to prevent and close experience gaps where they exist.
Democratize and own analysis and decision making across the organization by delivering powerful capabilities in a simple, easy-to-use product.
In today’s experience economy, we believe that XM is more critical to improving customer experience than CRM, more influential upon employee experience than HCM systems, and more important to enhancing brand experience than Marketing Automation. Consequently, we believe that XM represents a vast, rapidly growing, and underpenetrated market opportunity, and we estimate our total addressable market to be approximately $44 billion in 2018.
Our History Uniquely Positioned Us to Create and Lead XM 
Our history uniquely positioned us to pioneer and develop this new XM category. Founded in 2002 with the goal of solving the most complex problems encountered by the most advanced academic researchers, we were forged in an environment that required rigorous analytical methods, ease of use, the versatility to address the broadest range of inquiries, and the scalability to reach millions of touch points globally. Our leading presence with academic institutions has introduced millions of students to Qualtrics and allowed them to become proficient in the use of our software. As these students have migrated into the workplace, they have often brought us with them, spawning a whole new class of commercial customers and developing new use cases for our XMPlatform. Led by these customers, we evolved beyond our traditional research product offering to develop our platform, which incorporates our core research capability and is also designed to specifically address customer, employee, brand, and product use cases. Taken together, we believe that this platform provides a System of Action for organizations to monitor and act upon the vital signs that drive performance in any organization.
Our Platform Defines All the Elements of Experience Management
Our XM Platform is purpose-built to help organizations collect feedback and data across the four vital signs of a business: Customers, Employees, Brand, and Product. XM transforms that data into insight, and drives action to create value. The key elements of our platform include:
Research Core — A collection of powerful, flexible research tools to build and distribute data collection systems, aggregate and analyze data, build reports, and draw insight from data. Research Core is designed specifically to instrument, gather, and index human factor data in any format through any channel. Users can synthesize and identify trends within minutes and immediately dig deeper into any data point to extract additional insight.
Customer Experience (CX) — Enables a deep understanding of customer sentiment throughout every customer journey allowing organizations to monitor, measure, and take action where there may be any experience gaps, with a focus on identifying specific challenges and designing solutions to remediate issues and improve satisfaction in the moment.
Employee Experience (EX) — Allows managers and employees to identify gaps in the employee experience from recruiting and on-boarding to performance management in order to improve employee engagement, raise productivity, and limit attrition from start to finish at every touchpoint.

Table of Contents

Brand Experience (BX) — Identifies key drivers of brand perception, including psychographic information, marketing effectiveness, and competitive positioning.
Product Experience (PX) — Facilitates the aggregation and analysis of critical feedback to identify and isolate the features and experiences that drive product differentiation and quality and permit more informed pricing and packaging decisions across all products.
While our XM Platform represents a deeply integrated set of capabilities, each component features functionality and analytics that are significantly differentiated from one another, allowing our customers to adopt the entire platform or individual solutions that directly address their specific needs. Our platform delivers insight to customers in the form of rich visualizations that unify diverse data streams, demonstrate trends, and identify important deviations that signal the need for action.
We Have Built a Powerful and Innovative Go-To-Market Model
Today, our XM Platform is used by over 9,000 customers globally, including over 75% of the Fortune 100. As our research product evolved into our XM Platform, our customer base and go-to-market model have evolved as well. From our academic roots, we built a strong, low-touch sales model that allowed us to target users in any size organization. By integrating Research Core and emerging use cases into our platform, we began to penetrate larger businesses and developed more outbound sales capability to drive a land and expand sales motion. More recently, we have developed a strong direct sales capability to address larger customers. Throughout this evolution, we have sought to broaden our reach, delight our growing base of customers, and operate efficiently and profitably.
We Bootstrapped Our Company and Have Consistently Generated Cash
We believe that we have built a scalable and sustainable business model. As we built Qualtrics, we relied primarily on capital generated by the business. The primary capital we raised remains on our balance sheet, demonstrating the cash flow efficiency of our business. We have been free cash flow positive in every year since our inception, while driving rapid adoption of our solution among organizations of all sizes around the world. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017, our revenue was $190.6 million, and $289.9 million, respectively, representing year over year growth of 52%. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017, our net income (loss) was ($12.0) million and $2.6 million, respectively, and free cash flow was $3.4 million and $21.3 million, respectively.
Industry Trends in Our Favor
Experiences Drive Differentiation and Competitive Advantage
Today, the value of any organization is dictated by the experiences of its customers, employees, and other constituencies. We now live in a world where those experiences can be shared and amplified globally and instantaneously through digital channels, and brand perception and reputation can shift quickly and profoundly.
Quality of experience has significant impact on organizations of all types and sizes and can be defined by a broad range of factors. Organizations that detect these factors and thoughtfully shape interactions with customers and employees create differentiated experiences and sustained competitive advantage.
Experience Gaps Create Challenges for Organizations
Experience is all-important in winning and retaining customers and employees; however, actual experiences often fall short of expectations. The difference between the experience an organization believes they are delivering and the actual experience delivered is the “experience gap.” Experience gaps often have detrimental consequences for an organization, including lost customers, lower spend, complaints, employee turnover, employee disengagement, poor performance, and product failures.

Table of Contents

Organizations Struggle to Explain Why Experience Gaps Exist
Organizations rely on systems of record, such as CRM, ERP, HCM, Customer Service, and Marketing Automation systems, for gathering and reporting O-data. While these systems are useful for reporting what is happening as of a certain date, they are not designed to explain why something is happening.
Most organizations are O-data rich and X-data poor. X-data is the human factor data, the beliefs, emotions, and intentions that tell you why things are happening and, more importantly, what is going to happen. X-data is fragmented, often unstructured, and needs to be collected across all engagement methods, including e-mail, SMS, chat, phone, website, and in-app links. Together, X-data and O-data can provide differentiated and related insights to understand where experience gaps exist and how to address them.
Insight from Direct Feedback Drives Value
Direct commerce models have allowed businesses to create multiple touch points with customers and garner data that allows them to rapidly evolve and improve their offerings and operations. Companies without this direct customer connectivity, including those that operate via indirect channels, find themselves at an increasing disadvantage, often resulting in the inability to gather direct customer experience data and reducing the ability to assess customer sentiment and needs.
Organizations Need to Manage Experiences Across Customers, Employees, Brand, and Product
The success of organizations today depends on the quality of the experiences that they deliver to constituents across four critical areas: customer experience, employee experience, brand experience, and product experience.
Organizations must be able to manage all four of these experiences individually and understand the impact that these interconnected experiences have upon each other. Organizations able to manage these experiences in an integrated manner create a competitive advantage that drives increased organizational success and shareholder value.
Organizations Need a Holistic Experience Management Platform
Experience management capabilities need to be available to everyone throughout an organization, from C-level executives who are accountable for results down to those on the front lines best positioned to respond to feedback. To measure experiences, organizations have used a combination of various processes and tools for specific uses:
Third Party Market Research Firms and Consultants: This is a labor-intensive approach to researching a specific topic at a specific point in time and can be effective at answering specific questions using sampling panels from their large networks. However, their methods of data collection and analysis lack a software-driven approach that can span across broad use cases in a timely manner.
Point Solutions: Services-intensive point solutions require a high level of system integration and human involvement to interpret results, are not available broadly to employees, and lack applicability across all vital signs of an organization.
Survey Tools: Survey tools are useful for broad sampling across thousands of subjects, but lack the ability to combine data in different formats across different channels, correlate with O-data, and apply the analytical rigor needed to determine what actions need to be taken to improve results.
A comprehensive experience management platform that empowers organizations to identify, assess, and close experience gaps needs the following capabilities: comprehensive data collection, powerful analytics, ability to address experience holistically, real time, easy to use, configurable, scalable, and enterprise-grade privacy and security.
Our Roots
We founded Qualtrics in 2002 to make sophisticated research simple for the academic market. Our roots in academia helped us to develop our research engine with an interface that was intuitive and easy-to-use, yet powerful in functionality. Students trained on our software began to graduate into corporate roles at the same time corporate mandates to reduce outsourced spending and improve data driven decision making were emerging.

Table of Contents

Corporate use of our software was discovered to be driven largely by four core use cases: customer, employee, brand, and product related feedback and research. We developed focused solutions consisting of use case specific capabilities, content, dashboards, and workflow integration built on top of the base research and analytics engine. In 2017, we launched the Qualtrics XM Platform.
The Qualtrics XM Platform
Our XM Platform consists of solutions for Customer Experience, Employee Experience, Brand Experience, and Product Experience, all built on our Research Core and integrated with our Research on Demand offering. Our platform is designed to help organizations measure, prioritize, and optimize the experiences that they provide to customers, employees, and other constituencies.
Key benefits of our platform include:
Comprehensive Data Collection. Our XMPlatform enables organizations to personalize their communication with customers, employees, and partners and interact with these groups through the most effective channels. Through simple integrations, users can incorporate O-data into XM analysis using native formats or through Excel exports, without the use of outside professional services.
Differentiated Analytical Capabilities. Our XMPlatform is powered by a proprietary analytics engine that organizations of all types use to address some of the most demanding research projects. Our platform leverages the latest in artificial intelligence and natural language processing. These capabilities are incorporated into our platform through our intelligent engine, iQ, enabling advanced analytical features to make statistical analysis and insights available to everyone.
Ability to Address Experience Holistically. We provide specific solutions across the key areas that have the highest impact on an organization: customers, employees, brand, and product. Our XMPlatform analyzes experiences within each of these areas individually and correlates data across areas to provide insight into how they impact each other.
Real-time Insight and Action. Our XMPlatform is able to extract real-time feedback and provide insights and analysis when it matters most and drive action natively or by integrating with systems that an organization already uses. For example, our platform can automatically generate a customer ticket when a negative sentiment is expressed on a social media site and prompt an organization to action all the way to issue resolution, serving as a System of Action to remedy potential problems in a timely manner.
Ease of Use Enabling Democratization of Research Across All Users. We designed our XM Platform for every knowledge worker. Users can design a customer feedback program in minutes using simple drag and drop functions. This ease of use allows our platform to be used by employees across the organization.
Flexible Configuration to Meet Specific Needs. Our customers have configured our XMPlatform to meet diverse needs. Through an intuitive and elegant interface, users can design programs that implement complex logic, and advanced workflows. Users can also design, deploy, and alter these programs without help from professional services or IT, leading to faster and more impactful insights.
Scalable for the Needs of the Largest Organizations. In addition to scaling seamlessly across use cases, our XM Platform can collect, analyze, and interpret data across millions of touch points, meeting the needs of the world’s most sophisticated and demanding organizations.
Security and Privacy Designed for the Enterprise. Our XM Platform adheres to the highest standards of security and privacy that are demanded by the largest organizations in the world. Our platform enables role-based permissioning to ensure that only the right people have access to the most sensitive customer and employee information. Additionally, organizations own and retain all their data gathered on our platform.

What Sets Us Apart
As the creator and leader of XM, we have several distinguishing advantages:
Pioneer and Market Leader for Experience Management. Our experiential learning over the past 15 years has helped us develop, test, and refine our software solutions. Today, users across over 9,000 organizations rely on our software for differentiated and actionable insights into their businesses.
Scalable within Organizations from Departments to Enterprise-Wide. Our XM Platform combines ease of use with the scalability required by the world’s largest enterprises. Built for enterprise scale, Qualtrics has been architected as an open and easily configurable platform to facilitate a wide breadth of use cases. For example, Qualtrics now powers over 57,000 dashboards for Walmart’s managers to track employee experience.
Academic Roots. Our academic roots have allowed us to differentiate in the following key ways:
Technology focus: Our initial focus on the academic market required us to build sophisticated software that balanced the complex design requirements requested by researchers with our goal of providing a user-friendly interface for professors, researchers, and students.
Effective on-ramp: We estimate that over 2 million academic users have been introduced to Qualtrics as students or researchers, who in turn have helped bring Qualtrics into their organizations as they have entered the workforce.
Modern Technology Architecture. We have a modern technology platform that enables us to scale, store, and process efficiently large batches of data and can support our broad portfolio of solutions.
Rapid Time to Value. By making the complex capabilities of our XM Platform simple to use, we allow customers of all types and sizes to generate value quickly.
Powerful and Innovative Go-to-Market Model. We deploy a powerful and innovative go-to-market model that addresses the many ways a customer may choose to buy. We utilize a combination of a highly productive inside sales team and a field sales team to target customers. In addition, we leverage the Qualtrics Partner Network, or QPN, for joint go-to-market opportunities, product enhancement, and service delivery.
Customer-centric Product Innovation. We are focused on continuously improving our software, and we have a customer-centric focus that is embedded in our culture. Using our own XM Platform, we are able to collect continuous feedback from our customers in real-time, enabling us to drive product innovation. For example, both our Customer Experience and Employee Experience solutions were created based on observing our customers using Research Core for specific customer and employee use cases.
Our Growth Strategy
Key elements of our growth strategy include:
Drive New Customer Sales. We believe that our market opportunity remains largely underpenetrated. We will continue to invest aggressively in our direct and indirect sales and marketing capabilities to continue to acquire new customers, including continued growth in the number of enterprise customers.
Expand Within Existing Customers. Our customer base of over 9,000 organizations represents a significant growth opportunity for us. Our XM Platform has the flexibility to allow a single division or a specific team to use it on a small scale, which could grow to an organization-wide deployment. As a result, there is an opportunity to expand both the scale and use cases within an organization.
Expand Our International Presence. To penetrate international markets, we have developed a hub-and-spoke sales model, comprised of centralized inside-sales teams surrounded by regional direct sales groups. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, 22% of our revenue was from international markets, and we believe that there is significant opportunity for continued growth from outside the United States.

Continue to Innovate and Enhance Our Platform. We use our technology to draw insights and ensure that we are best serving our customers’ needs. We believe continued innovation will lead to a greater value proposition for our customers and increased adoption of our XM Platform by both new and existing customers.
Grow Revenue from Key Industry Verticals. While our XM Platform is industry-agnostic, we have made a number of industry specific investments that will accelerate our adoption within certain verticals, including government, education, and financial services. We have developed Certified XM Solutions, leveraging partners’ expertise and embedding industry specific content into our products.
Further Develop Our Partner Network. We are building out a network of content and consulting partners, delivery partners, and technology partners who enrich our offerings, scale our coverage, and help us reach a broader audience than we would be able to reach on our own. At our March 2018 X4 Summit, we announced the launch of the QPN.
Risk Associated with Our Business and Investments in Our Class B Common Stock
Our business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including those highlighted in the section titled “Risk Factors” immediately following this prospectus summary. Some of these risks are:
Our rapid growth makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and may increase the risk that we will not continue to grow at or near historical rates.
We may not be able to sustain our revenue growth rate or maintain profitability in the future.
If we fail to effectively manage our growth, our business and results of operations could be harmed.
The software category in which we participate is new and rapidly changing, and if we do not compete effectively, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be harmed.
If we are unable to retain customers at existing levels or sell additional functionality to our existing customers, our revenue growth will be adversely affected.
Experience management is a new and evolving software category. If the category does not develop further, develops more slowly, or in a way that we do not expect, our business will be adversely affected.
If we are not able to develop new solutions and enhancements to our existing solutions that achieve market acceptance and that keep pace with technological developments, or if we are not able to deliver these new or enhanced solutions so that they can be easily and consistently deployed by our customers, our business and results of operations would be harmed.
If our security measures are breached or unauthorized access to customer data is otherwise obtained, our XM Platform may be perceived as insecure, we may lose existing customers or fail to attract new customers, our reputation may be harmed, and we may incur significant liabilities.
Our business could be harmed by any significant disruption of service on our XM Platform or loss of content.
If we fail to offer high quality customer support, our business and reputation could suffer.
We invest significantly in research and development, and to the extent our research and development investments do not translate into new solutions or material enhancements to our current solutions, or if we do not use those investments efficiently, our business and results of operations would be harmed.
Our business depends on a strong brand, and if we are not able to maintain and enhance our brand, our ability to expand our number of customers will be impaired and our business, results of operations, and financial condition will be harmed.
Failure to effectively expand our sales and marketing capabilities could harm our ability to increase our customer base and achieve broader market acceptance of our XM Platform.

We rely on the performance of highly skilled personnel, including our management and other key employees, and the loss of one or more of such personnel, or of a significant number of our team members, could harm our business.
The multiple class structure of our common stock has the effect of concentrating voting control with certain stockholders, in particular, our chief executive officer and his affiliates, which will limit your ability to influence the outcome of important transactions, including a change in control.
Channels for Disclosure of Information
Investors, the media and others should note that, following the completion of this offering, we intend to announce material information to the public through filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, the investor relations page on our website, press releases, and public conference calls and webcasts.
Corporate Information
We were formed in 2002 as Qualtrics Labs, Inc. In 2012, Qualtrics, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, was established as a new parent company for our operating business.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) December 31, 2023 (the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of our initial public offering), (2) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion, (3) the last day of the fiscal year in which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer”, as defined in the rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, and (4) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period. We refer to the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 herein as the “JOBS Act,” and any reference herein to “emerging growth company” has the meaning ascribed to it in the JOBS Act.
An emerging growth company may take advantage of reduced reporting requirements that are otherwise applicable to public companies. These provisions include, but are not limited to:
being permitted to present only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this prospectus;
not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;
reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports, proxy statements and registration statements, including in this prospectus; 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 have elected to take advantage of certain of the reduced disclosure obligations in this prospectus and may elect to take advantage of other reduced reporting requirements in our future filings with the SEC. As a result, the information

that we provide to our stockholders may be different than you might receive from other public reporting companies in which you hold equity interests.
The JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. We have irrevocably elected not to avail ourselves of this exemption and, therefore, we will be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

Use of proceeds
 
We estimate that the net proceeds from the sale of shares of our Class B common stock in this offering will be approximately $             (or approximately $             if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full), based upon the assumed initial public offering price of $             per share, which is the midpoint of the estimated offering price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.
 
 
 
 
 
The principal purposes of this offering are to increase our capitalization and financial flexibility, create a public market for our Class B common stock and enable access to the public equity markets for us and our stockholders. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to satisfy tax withholding and remittance obligations of up to $             million related to the settlement of certain outstanding restricted stock units, or RSUs, in connection with the effectiveness of this offering. This amount is based upon the assumed initial public offering price of $             per share, which is the midpoint of the estimated offering price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. We also intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for working capital or other general corporate purposes, including funding our growth strategies discussed in this prospectus. We may also use a portion of the net proceeds to acquire or make investments in businesses, products, services or technologies. However, we do not have agreements or commitments for any acquisitions at this time. See the section titled “Use of Proceeds” for additional information.

Voting rights
 
We will have three classes of common stock outstanding upon the completion of this offering: Class A-1 common stock, Class A-2 common stock, and Class B common stock. Class B common stock is entitled to one vote per share and Classes A-1 and A-2 common stock are entitled to ten votes per share. Holders of our Class A-2 common stock are also entitled to additional voting rights in the event that the total aggregate number of votes represented by all of the outstanding shares of our Class A-2 common stock would constitute less than 51% of the total voting power of all classes of our then-outstanding capital stock. In such a case, and for so long as the number of outstanding shares of Class A-2 common stock represents at least 10% of the total number of shares of all classes of our outstanding capital stock, the holders of our Class A-2 common stock will be entitled to a number of votes per share of their Class A-2 common stock as would cause the total number of votes of all outstanding shares of Class A-2 common stock to equal 51% of the total voting power of all of our then-outstanding shares of capital stock. Accordingly, in such event, the aggregate voting power of all outstanding shares of Class A-1 common stock and Class B common stock would be proportionately reduced.
 
 
 
 
 
Holders of Class A-1, Class A-2, and Class B common stock will generally vote together as a single class, unless otherwise required by Delaware law or our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. The holders of our outstanding Class A-1 and Class A-2 common stock, certain of whom are our founders, executive officers, and directors, will hold             % of the voting power of our outstanding shares (approximately             % is attributable to Class A-2 common stock held by them) following this offering and will have the ability to control the outcome of matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election of our directors and the approval of any change in control transaction. See the sections titled “Principal Stockholders” and “Description of Capital Stock” for additional information.
Directed share program
 
At our request, the underwriters have reserved for sale, at the initial public offering price, up to 7% of the shares of our Class B common stock offered hereby for persons associated with us who have expressed an interest in purchasing shares of our Class B common stock in this offering. See the section titled “Underwriters” for additional information.

Our 2018 Plan and ESPP will each provide for annual automatic increases in the number of shares reserved thereunder and our 2018 Plan also will provide for increases to the number of shares of Class B common stock that may be granted thereunder based on shares underlying any awards under our 2014 Plan that expire, are forfeited, or are otherwise terminated, as more fully described in the section titled “Executive Compensation—Employee Benefits and Stock Plans.”

the automatic conversion of all outstanding shares of our Series A-3 redeemable convertible preferred stock and Series B redeemable convertible preferred stock into an aggregate of 163,272,517 shares of our Class A-1 common stock, the conversion of which will occur immediately prior to the completion of this offering;
the issuance of up to           shares of Class B common stock at the closing of this offering on the vesting and settlement of certain outstanding RSUs subject to a performance condition in connection with the completion of this offering;
the filing and effectiveness of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation in Delaware and the effectiveness of our amended and restated bylaws, each of which will occur immediately prior to the completion of this offering; and
no exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option.

RISK FACTORS
Investing in our Class B common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, together with all of the other information in this prospectus, including the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our consolidated financial statements and related notes, before making a decision to invest in our Class B common stock. The risks and uncertainties described below may not be the only ones we face. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In that event, the market price of our Class B common stock could decline, and you could lose part or all of your investment.
Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
Our rapid growth makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and may increase the risk that we will not continue to grow at or near historical rates.
We have been growing rapidly over the last several years, and as a result, our ability to forecast our future results of operations is subject to a number of uncertainties, including our ability to effectively plan for and model future growth. Our recent and historical growth should not be considered indicative of our future performance. We have encountered in the past, and will encounter in the future, risks and uncertainties frequently experienced by growing companies in new and rapidly changing markets. If our assumptions regarding these risks and uncertainties, which we use to plan and operate our business, are incorrect or change, or if we do not address these risks successfully, our operating and financial results could differ materially from our expectations, our growth rates may slow and our business would suffer.
We may not be able to sustain our revenue growth rate or maintain profitability in the future.
In future periods, our revenue could grow more slowly than in recent periods or decline for a number of reasons, including any reduction in demand for our XM Platform, increase in competition, limited ability to, or our decision not to, increase pricing, contraction of the experience management software category, or our failure to capitalize on growth opportunities. In addition, our revenue from subscription, Research on Demand, and professional services and other may grow at different rates than in recent periods or decline for a number of reasons, including those described above. We expect expenses to increase substantially in the near term, particularly as we continue to make significant investments in research and development and technology infrastructure, expand our operations globally and develop new solutions and features for, and enhancements of, our platform. In addition, in connection with operating as a public company, we will incur significant additional legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. While we have achieved profitability in prior fiscal years, as a result of these significant investments, we do not expect to achieve profitability for the year ended December 31, 2018, and may not be able to achieve profitability in future periods. In addition, the additional expenses we will incur may not lead to sufficient additional revenue to maintain historical revenue growth rates and profitability.
If we fail to effectively manage our growth, our business and results of operations could be harmed.
We have experienced, and may continue to experience, rapid growth, which has placed, and may continue to place, significant demands on our management and our operational and financial resources. For example, our headcount has grown from 1,501 employees as of September 30, 2017 to 1,915 employees as of September 30, 2018. In addition, we operate globally, sell subscriptions to over 9,000 customers in more than 100 countries, and have employees in the United States, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Japan, Poland, Singapore, and the United Kingdom. We plan to continue to expand our international presence in the future, which will place additional demands on our resources and operations. Additionally, we continue to increase the breadth and scope of our XM Platform and our operations and continue to develop our partner network. To support this growth, and to manage any future growth effectively, we must continue to improve our IT and financial infrastructures, our operating and administrative systems, and our ability to manage headcount, capital, and internal processes in an efficient manner and deepen our industry experience in key verticals. Our organizational structure is also becoming more complex as we grow our operational, financial, and management infrastructure and we must continue to improve our internal controls as well as our reporting systems and procedures. We intend to continue to invest to expand our business, including investing in technology and sales and marketing operations, developing new solutions and features for our existing solutions, hiring additional personnel,


17


Table of Contents

and upgrading our infrastructure. These investments will require significant capital expenditures and the allocation of management resources, and any investments we make will occur in advance of experiencing the benefits from such investments, making it difficult to determine in a timely manner if we are efficiently allocating our resources. If we do not achieve the benefits anticipated from these investments, or if the achievement of these benefits is delayed, our results of operations may be adversely affected.
The software category in which we participate is new and rapidly changing, and if we do not compete effectively, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be harmed.
The experience management software category is new and rapidly changing and has relatively low barriers to entry. While we do not believe that any of our competitors currently offer a full suite of experience management solutions that competes with our XM Platform, certain features of our platform compete in certain segments of the overall experience management software category. For example, Medallia, Inc. is a provider of software for specific use cases for customer experience, Aon Hewitt LLC and Willis Towers Watson PLC are traditional professional and marketing research services firms, and SurveyMonkey Inc. provides individual-focused and self-service survey tools. While we believe we compete favorably against these competitors, some of our competitors and potential competitors are larger and have greater brand name recognition, longer operating histories, larger marketing budgets and established marketing relationships, access to larger customer bases, and significantly greater resources for the development of their offerings. These competitors may be able to respond more quickly and effectively than we can to new or changing opportunities, technologies, standards, or customer requirements
With the introduction of new technologies, the evolution of our solutions, and new market entrants, we expect competition to intensify in the future. We also anticipate that potential competition may come in the future from incumbent software providers. For example, as we expand our focus into new use cases or other solutions beyond our XM Platform, we expect competition to increase. Pricing pressures from competitors undercutting our prices, and increased competition generally could result in reduced sales, reduced margins, losses, or the failure of our solutions to achieve or maintain more widespread market acceptance, any of which could harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Furthermore, our actual and potential competitors may establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties, or consolidate through acquisitions or be sold to our competitors with greater resources than we have, that may further enhance their resources and offerings in the market we address and may increase the likelihood of our competitors offering bundled or integrated products with which we cannot compete effectively. Additionally, some current and potential customers and partners, particularly large organizations, have elected, and may in the future elect, to develop or acquire their own internal experience management software tools that would reduce or eliminate the demand for our solutions. For all of these reasons and others we cannot anticipate today, we may not be able to compete successfully against our current and future competitors, which could harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
If we are unable to retain customers at existing levels or sell additional functionality to our existing customers, our revenue growth will be adversely affected.
To increase our revenue, we must retain existing customers, convince them to expand their use of our solutions across their organizations and for a variety of use cases, and expand their subscriptions on terms favorable to us. If we are not able to renew our agreements with existing customers or attract new business from existing customers on terms favorable or comparable to prior periods, this could have an adverse effect on our business, revenue, gross margins, and other operating results, and accordingly on the value of our common stock. The rate at which our customers purchase new or enhanced solutions from us, as well as the expansion of use of our solutions across organizations, depends on a number of factors, including general economic conditions, customer specific conditions, competitive pricing, integration with existing technologies, and satisfaction and market acceptance of our platform generally. If our efforts to sell additional functionality and solutions to our customers are not successful, our business and growth prospects may suffer. Our customers have no obligation to renew their subscriptions for our solutions after the expiration of their initial subscription period, and a majority of our subscription contracts were one year in duration for the year ended December 31, 2017. However, some of our customer agreements allow for cancellation on 30 days or less notice but without refund.

Experience management is a new and evolving software category. If the category does not develop further, develops more slowly, or in a way that we do not expect, our business will be adversely affected.
We generate, and expect to continue to generate, revenue from the sale of subscriptions to our XM Platform. As a result, widespread acceptance and use of experience management solutions in general, and our platform in particular, is critical to our future growth and success. If the experience management software category fails to grow or grows more slowly than we currently anticipate, demand for our platform could be negatively affected.
Changes in user preferences for experience management may have a disproportionately greater impact on us than if we offered multiple platforms or disparate products. Demand for experience management solutions in general, and our XM Platform in particular, is affected by a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control. Some of these potential factors include:
awareness of the experience management category generally;
availability of products and solutions that compete with ours;
ease of adoption and use;
features, performance and overall platform experience;
brand;
security and privacy;
accessibility across several devices, operating systems, and applications;
customer support;
continued innovation; and
pricing.
The experience management software category is subject to rapidly changing user demand and trends in preferences. If we fail to successfully predict and address these changes and trends, meet user demands, or achieve more widespread market acceptance of our platform, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be harmed.
If we are not able to develop new solutions and enhancements to our existing solutions that achieve market acceptance and that keep pace with technological developments, or if we are not able to deliver these new or enhanced solutions so that they can be easily and consistently deployed by our customers, our business and results of operations would be harmed.
Our ability to attract new customers and increase revenue from existing customers depends in large part on our ability to enhance and improve our existing solutions and to introduce compelling new solutions. The success of any enhancement to our solutions depends on several factors, including timely completion and delivery, competitive pricing, adequate quality testing, integration with existing technologies and our XM Platform, and overall market acceptance. Any new solution that we develop may not be introduced in a timely or cost-effective manner, may contain errors, vulnerabilities or bugs, or may not achieve the market acceptance necessary to generate significant revenue. If we are unable to successfully develop new solutions, enhance our existing solutions to meet customer requirements, or otherwise gain market acceptance, our business, results of operations, and financial condition would be harmed.
Our ability to attract new customers and increase revenue from existing customers also depends on our ability to deliver any enhanced or new solutions to our customers in a format where they can be easily and consistently deployed by most or all users without significant customer support. If our customers believe that deploying our enhanced or new solutions would be overly time-consuming, confusing, or technically challenging, then our ability to grow our business would be substantially harmed. We need to create and deliver a repeatable, user-friendly, prescriptive approach to deployment that allows users of all kinds to effectively and easily deploy our solutions, and if we fail to do so, our business and results of operations would be harmed.

Our success also depends on our ability to identify important and emerging use cases for our customers and quickly develop new and effective solutions to address those use cases. For example, before March 2017, we did not offer a solution specifically tailored for either Brand Experience or Product Experience. We developed solutions for these specific use cases because we were able to identify that many of our customers were using our existing tools for those purposes. If we are unable to identify similar emerging use cases or applications of our XM Platform in a timely manner and innovate in a way that allows us to address these emerging use cases or applications, and also present them to our customers in a compelling package that differentiates those solutions from our existing capabilities, then we may lose customers to more innovative competitors or alternative solutions, and we will experience difficulties in attracting new customers and expanding revenue from existing customers. In addition, after we launch any new solutions, we must also continuously improve and develop these solutions to make them as robust and rich in features and capabilities as the other solutions on our XM Platform.
If our security measures are breached or unauthorized access to customer data is otherwise obtained, our platform may be perceived as insecure, we may lose existing customers or fail to attract new customers, our reputation may be harmed, and we may incur significant liabilities.
Unauthorized access to, or other security breaches of, our XMPlatform or the other systems or networks used in our business, including those of our vendors, contractors, or those with which we have strategic relationships, could result in the loss, compromise or corruption of sensitive customer data, loss of business, reputational damage adversely affecting customer or investor confidence, regulatory investigations and orders, litigation, indemnity obligations, damages for contract breach, penalties for violation of applicable laws or regulations, significant costs for remediation, and other liabilities. We have errors and omissions insurance coverage for certain security and privacy damages and claim expenses, but this coverage may be insufficient to compensate us for all liabilities that we may incur.
Our platform and the other systems or networks used in our business are also at risk for breaches as a result of third party action, or employee, vendor, or contractor error or malfeasance. Security incidents have occurred in the past, and may occur in the future, resulting in unauthorized access to, loss of or unauthorized disclosure of this information, regulatory enforcement actions, litigation, indemnity obligations, and other possible liabilities, as well as negative publicity, which could damage our reputation, impair our sales, and harm our business. Cyberattacks and other malicious internet-based activity continue to increase, and cloud-based platform providers of services have been and are expected to continue to be targeted. In addition, to traditional computer “hackers,” malicious code (such as viruses and worms), employee theft or misuse, and denial-of-service attacks, sophisticated nation-state and nation-state supported actors now engage in attacks (including advanced persistent threat intrusions). Despite significant efforts to create security barriers to such threats, it is virtually impossible for us to entirely mitigate these risks. If our security measures are compromised as a result of third party action, employee or customer error, malfeasance, stolen or fraudulently obtained log-in credentials or otherwise, our reputation could be damaged, our business may be harmed, and we could incur significant liability. We have not always been able in the past and may be unable in the future to anticipate or prevent techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or to compromise our systems, because they change frequently and are generally not detected until after an incident has occurred. Concerns regarding data privacy and security may cause some of our customers to stop using our solutions and fail to renew their subscriptions. This discontinuance in use or failure to renew could substantially harm our business, operating results, and growth prospects. Further, as we rely on third party and public-cloud infrastructure, we will depend in part on third party security measures to protect against unauthorized access, cyberattacks, and the mishandling of customer data. In addition, failures to meet customers’ expectations with respect to security and confidentiality of their data and information could damage our reputation and affect our ability to retain customers, attract new customers, and grow our business. In addition, a cybersecurity event could result in significant increases in costs, including costs for remediating the effects of such an event; lost revenue due to decrease in customer trust and network downtime; increases in insurance coverage due to cybersecurity incidents; and damages to our reputation because of any such incident.
Our business could be harmed by any significant disruption of service on our platform or loss of content.
Our brand, reputation, and ability to attract, retain, and serve our customers are dependent upon the reliable performance of our XM Platform, including our underlying technical infrastructure. Our technical infrastructure may not be adequately designed with sufficient reliability and redundancy to avoid performance delays or outages that could be harmful to our business. If our platform is unavailable when users attempt to access it, or if it does not load as quickly

as they expect, users may not use our platform as often in the future, or at all.
As our user base and the amount and types of information stored and shared on our platform continue to grow, we will need an increasing amount of technical infrastructure, including network capacity and computing power, to continue to satisfy the needs of our users. Further, as we continue to grow and scale our business to meet the needs of our users, we may overestimate or underestimate our infrastructure capacity requirements, which could adversely affect our results of operations. We continuously evaluate our short- and long-term infrastructure capacity requirements to ensure adequate capacity for new and existing users while minimizing unnecessary excess capacity costs. If we overestimate the demand for our platform and therefore secure excess infrastructure capacity, our operating margins could be reduced. If we underestimate our infrastructure capacity requirements, we may not be able to service the expanding needs of new and existing users, and our hosting facilities, network, or systems may fail. In some cases, our contracts with our customers stipulate a minimum uptime availability of our platform, and to the extent we do not meet these obligations, we may be subject to contractual claims from our customers. If any of these events occur, our reputation, business, and financial condition would be harmed.
If we fail to offer high quality customer support, our business and reputation could suffer.
Our customers rely on our customer support teams to resolve technical and operational issues if and when they arise. We may be unable to respond quickly enough to accommodate short-term increases in customer demand for customer support. We also may be unable to modify the nature, scope, and delivery of our customer support to compete with changes in customer support services provided by our competitors. Increased customer demand for customer support, without corresponding revenue, could increase costs and harm our results of operations. In addition, as we continue to grow our operations and reach a global and vast customer base, we need to be able to provide efficient customer support that meets our customers’ needs globally at scale. The number of our customers has grown significantly, and that will put additional pressure on our support organization. As our business scales, we may need to engage third party customer support service providers, which could negatively impact the quality of our customer support if such third parties are unable to provide customer support that is as effective as that we provide ourselves. Our sales are highly dependent on our business reputation and on positive recommendations from our existing customers. Accordingly, high quality customer support is important for the renewal and expansion of our agreements with existing customers and any failure to maintain such standards of customer support, or a market perception that we do not maintain high quality customer support, could harm our reputation, our ability to sell product to existing and prospective customers, and our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
We invest significantly in research and development, and to the extent our research and development investments do not translate into new solutions or material enhancements to our current solutions, or if we do not use those investments efficiently, our business and results of operations would be harmed.
A key element of our strategy is to invest significantly in our research and development efforts to develop new solutions and rapidly introduce new technologies, features and functionality our existing solutions. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017, our research and development expenses were 11.7% and 14.0% of our revenue, respectively, and during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018, our research and development expenses were 13.9% and 15.2% of our revenue, respectively. If we do not spend our research and development budget efficiently or effectively on compelling innovation and technologies, our business may be harmed and we may not realize the expected benefits of our strategy. Moreover, research and development projects can be technically challenging and expensive. The nature of these research and development cycles may cause us to experience delays between the time we incur expenses associated with research and development and the time we are able to offer compelling solutions and generate revenue, if any, from such investment. Additionally, anticipated customer demand for a solution or solutions we are developing could decrease after the development cycle has commenced, and we would nonetheless be unable to avoid substantial costs associated with the development of any such solutions or solution. If we expend a significant amount of resources on research and development and our efforts do not lead to the successful introduction or improvement of solutions that are competitive in our current or future markets, it would harm our business and results of operations.

Our business depends on a strong brand, and if we are not able to maintain and enhance our brand, our ability to expand our number of customers will be impaired and our business, results of operations, and financial condition will be harmed.
We believe that our brand identity and awareness have significantly contributed to our success and have helped fuel our efficient go-to-market model. We also believe that maintaining and enhancing the Qualtrics brand is critical to expanding our number of customers. We anticipate that, as our market becomes increasingly competitive, maintaining and enhancing our brand may become increasingly difficult and expensive. Any unfavorable publicity or consumer perception of our XM Platform, or a competitor’s platform in the experience management software category generally, could adversely affect our reputation and our ability to attract and retain customers on our platform, and diminish customer interest in the experience management market generally. Additionally, if we fail to promote and maintain the Qualtrics brand, or if we incur excessive expenses in this effort, our business, results of operations, and financial condition will be materially and adversely affected.
Failure to effectively expand our sales and marketing capabilities could harm our ability to increase our customer base and achieve broader market acceptance of our platform.
Our ability to broaden our customer base, particularly our business customer base, and achieve broader market acceptance of our platform will depend to a significant extent on the ability of our sales and marketing organizations to work together to drive our sales pipeline and cultivate customer and partner relationships to drive revenue growth. We have invested in and plan to continue to invest aggressively to expand our sales and marketing organizations, both domestically and internationally. Identifying, recruiting, and training sales personnel will require significant time, expense, and attention. We also plan to dedicate significant resources to sales and marketing programs, including user conferences (such as our annual X4 Summit), online advertising, webinars, blogs, corporate communications, white papers, and case studies. In addition, we have developed go-to-market partnerships with a number of key technology, system integrator, and consultant and content partners. If we are unable to recruit, hire, develop, and retain talented sales or marketing personnel, if our new sales or marketing personnel and partners are unable to achieve desired productivity levels in a reasonable period of time, or if our sales and marketing programs are not effective, our ability to broaden our customer base and achieve broader market acceptance of our platform could be harmed. In addition, the investments we make in our sales and marketing organization will occur in advance of experiencing benefits from such investments, making it difficult to determine in a timely manner if we are efficiently allocating our resources in these areas.
We rely on the performance of highly skilled personnel, including our management and other key employees, and the loss of one or more of such personnel, or of a significant number of our team members, could harm our business.
Our success and future growth depend upon the continued services of our management team and other key employees. In particular, Ryan Smith, our Chief Executive Officer and one of our co-founders, is critical to our vision, strategic direction, culture, and offerings. From time to time, there may be changes in our management team resulting from the hiring or departure of executives and key employees, which could disrupt our business. We also are dependent on the continued service of our existing employees because of the complexity of our solutions. Our senior management and key employees are employed on an at-will basis. We may terminate any employee’s employment at any time, with or without cause, and any employee may resign at any time, with or without cause. The loss of one or more of our senior management or other key employees could harm our business, and we may not be able to find adequate replacements. We cannot ensure that we will be able to retain the services of any members of our senior management or other key employees. In particular, recruiting and hiring senior product engineering personnel has been, and we expect to continue to be, challenging given the intense competition in the software industry for skilled product engineering talent. In addition, as our business grows and scales, including internationally, we will need to continue to find and attract talented experience managers both in the United States and internationally. If we are unable to hire talented personnel, we may be unable to scale our operations or release new products in a timely fashion and, as a result, customer satisfaction with our products may decline. Additionally, many of our employees and members of our management team may receive significant proceeds from sales of our equity in the public markets after this offering, which may reduce their motivation to continue to work for us.

If we are unable to develop and maintain successful relationships with certain partners, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be harmed.
In addition to our sales force, we work with certain strategic partners to help grow and develop our sales and distribution channels and implement our XM Platform. We believe that continued growth in our business is dependent upon identifying, developing, and maintaining strategic relationships with our existing and potential partners that can drive substantial revenue and provide additional solutions to our customers. We engage certain partners to generate customer acquisition opportunities, and certain other partners to implement our XM Platform with our existing customers. We do not yet have sufficient data or feedback regarding the effectiveness of these partnerships. If the delivery partners are unable to successfully implement our platform with existing customers, or if we are unable to develop and maintain successful relationships with these partners, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be harmed.
Our sales cycle with enterprise, government, and international customers can be long and unpredictable.
The timing of our sales with our enterprise, government, and international customers and related revenue recognition is difficult to predict because of the length and unpredictability of the sales cycle for these customers. We sell to United States federal, state and local, as well as foreign, governmental agency customers, and government demand and payment for our offerings are affected by public sector budgetary cycles and funding authorizations, with funding reductions or delays adversely affecting public sector demand for our offerings. We are often required to spend significant time and resources to better educate and familiarize these potential customers with the value proposition of paying for our solutions. The length of our sales cycle for these customers, from initial evaluation to payment for our offerings is generally more than the six months for other customers, and can vary substantially from customer to customer, and thus it is difficult to predict whether and when a sale will be completed.
Our ability to sell subscriptions to our platform could be harmed by real or perceived material defects or errors in our platform.
The software technology underlying our XM Platform is inherently complex and may contain material defects or errors, particularly when first introduced or when new features or capabilities are released. We have from time to time found defects or errors in our platform, and new defects or errors in our existing platform or new software may be detected in the future by us or our users. There can be no assurance that our existing platform and new software will not contain defects. Any real or perceived errors, failures, vulnerabilities, or bugs in our platform could result in negative publicity or lead to data security, access, retention, or other performance issues, all of which could harm our business. The costs incurred in correcting such defects or errors may be substantial and could harm our results of operations and financial condition. Moreover, the harm to our reputation and legal liability related to such defects or errors may be substantial and could harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
We also utilize hardware purchased or leased and software and services licensed from third parties to host and provide security over our platform. Any defects in, or unavailability of, our or third party software, services, or hardware that cause interruptions to the availability of our platform, loss of data, or performance issues could, among other things:
cause a reduction in revenue or delay in market acceptance of our platform;
require us to issue refunds to our users or expose us to claims for damages;
cause us to lose existing users and make it more difficult to attract new users;
divert our development resources or require us to make extensive changes to our platform, which would increase our expenses;
increase our technical support costs; and
harm our reputation and brand.

If we cannot maintain our company culture as we grow, we could lose the innovation, teamwork, passion, and focus on execution that we believe contribute to our success and our business may be harmed.
We believe that a critical component to our success has been our company culture. Our company is aligned behind our culture and key values and we have invested substantial time and resources in building our team within this company culture. Additionally, as we grow and develop the infrastructure of a public company, or acquire other companies, we may find it difficult to maintain these important aspects of our company culture. Any failure to preserve our culture could harm our future success, including our ability to retain and recruit personnel, innovate and operate effectively, and execute on our business strategy.
We are continuing to expand our operations outside the United States, where we may be subject to increased business and economic risks that could impact our results of operations.
A key focus of our company is to continue to penetrate unaddressed global markets. In order to do so, we use a hub-and-spoke sales model, comprised of a centralized inside-sales team surrounded by regional direct sales efforts. We have invested significant effort to building and optimizing our international growth. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, 22% of our revenue is from international markets, and we have recently invested in offices in nine countries. We expect to continue to expand our international operations, which may include opening additional offices in new jurisdictions and providing our XM Platform in additional languages. Any new markets or countries into which we attempt to sell subscriptions to our platform may not be receptive. For example, we may not be able to expand further in some markets if we are not able to satisfy certain government- and industry-specific requirements. If we are not successful in converting our investments in international expansion to additional revenue, our business and results of operations may be harmed. In addition, our ability to manage our business and conduct our operations internationally requires considerable management attention and resources and is subject to the particular challenges of supporting a rapidly growing business in an environment of multiple languages, cultures, customs, legal and regulatory systems, alternative dispute systems, and commercial markets. International expansion has required, and will continue to require, investment of significant funds and other resources. Operating internationally subjects us to new risks and may increase risks that we currently face, including risks associated with:
recruiting and retaining talented and capable employees outside the United States and maintaining our company culture across all of our offices;
providing our platform and operating our business across a significant distance, in different languages and among different cultures, including the potential need to modify our platform and features to ensure that they are culturally appropriate and relevant in different countries;
compliance with applicable international laws and regulations, including laws and regulations with respect to privacy, data protection, consumer protection, and unsolicited email, and the risk of penalties to our users and individual members of management or employees if our practices are deemed to be out of compliance;
management of an employee base in jurisdictions that may not give us the same employment and retention flexibility as does the United States;
operating in jurisdictions that do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as does the United States;
compliance by us and our business partners with anti-corruption laws, import and export control laws, tariffs, trade barriers, economic sanctions, and other regulatory limitations on our ability to provide our platform in certain international markets;
foreign exchange controls that might require significant lead time in setting up operations in certain geographic territories and might prevent us from repatriating cash earned outside the United States;
political and economic instability;
double taxation of our international earnings and potentially adverse tax consequences due to changes in the income and other tax laws of the United States or the international jurisdictions in which we operate; and


24


Table of Contents

higher costs of doing business internationally, including increased accounting, travel, infrastructure, and legal compliance costs.
Compliance with laws and regulations applicable to our global operations substantially increases our cost of doing business in international jurisdictions. We may be unable to keep current with changes in laws and regulations as they change. Although we have implemented policies and procedures designed to support compliance with these laws and regulations, there can be no assurance that we will always maintain compliance or that all of our employees, contractors, partners, and agents will comply. Any violations could result in enforcement actions, fines, civil and criminal penalties, damages, injunctions, or reputational harm. If we are unable to comply with these laws and regulations or manage the complexity of our global operations successfully, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be adversely affected.
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 results of operations.
As we have in the past, we may in the future seek to acquire or invest in businesses, people, or technologies that we believe could complement, expand, or enhance our platform or otherwise offer growth opportunities. The pursuit of potential acquisitions may divert the attention of management and cause us to incur various expenses in identifying, investigating, and pursuing suitable acquisitions, whether or not they are ultimately consummated.
Any integration process may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and require significant time and resources and, we may not be able to integrate the acquired personnel, operations, and technologies successfully or effectively manage the combined business in connection with any future acquisition. Our prior acquisitions have been relatively small, and thus we are relatively inexperienced in effectively implementing an integration process. We may also not achieve the anticipated benefits from the acquired business due to a number of factors, including, among others:
costs or liabilities associated with the acquisition;
diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns;
inability to integrate or benefit from acquired content, technologies, or solutions in a profitable manner;
harm to our existing relationships with customers and partners as a result of the acquisition;
difficulty integrating the accounting systems, operations, and personnel of the acquired business;
difficulty converting the customers of the acquired business onto our platform and contract terms;
the potential loss of key employees;
use of resources that are needed in other parts of our business; and
the use of substantial portions of our available cash or equity to consummate the acquisition.
In the future, if our acquisitions do not yield expected returns, we may be required to take charges for the write-down or impairment of amounts related to goodwill and acquired intangible assets, which could negatively impact our results of operations. We may issue additional equity securities in connection with any future acquisitions that would dilute our existing stockholders, use cash that we may need in the future to operate our business, incur debt on terms unfavorable to us or that we are unable to pay, incur large charges or substantial liabilities, and become subject to adverse tax consequences, substantial depreciation, or deferred compensation charges. These challenges could adversely affect our business, financial conditions, results of operations, and prospects.
Privacy, data protection, and information security concerns, and data collection and transfer restrictions and related domestic or foreign regulations, may limit the use and adoption of our platform and adversely affect our business.
Use of our XM Platform involves the storage, transmission, and processing of data from our customers and their employees or other personnel, including certain personal or individually identifying information. Personal privacy, information security, and data protection are significant issues in the United States, Europe, and many other jurisdictions


25


Table of Contents

where we offer our platform. The regulatory framework governing the collection, processing, storage, and use of business information, particularly information that includes personal data, is rapidly evolving and any failure or perceived failure to comply with applicable privacy, security, or data protection laws, regulations and/or contractual obligations may adversely affect our business.
The United States federal and various state and foreign governments have adopted or proposed requirements regarding the collection, distribution, use, security, and storage of personally identifiable information and other data relating to individuals, and federal and state consumer protection laws are being applied to enforce regulations related to the online collection, use, and dissemination of data. Some of these requirements include obligations of companies to notify individuals of security breaches involving particular personal information, which could result from breaches experienced by us or by our vendors, contractors, or organizations with which we have formed strategic relationships. Even though we may have contractual protections with such vendors, contractors, or other organizations, notifications and follow-up actions related to a security breach could impact our reputation, cause us to incur significant costs, including legal expenses, harm customer confidence, hurt our expansion into new markets, cause us to incur remediation costs, or cause us to lose existing customers.
Further, many foreign countries and governmental bodies, including the European Union, or EU, where we conduct business, have laws and regulations concerning the collection and use of personal data obtained from their residents or by businesses operating within their jurisdictions. These laws and regulations often are more restrictive than those in the United States. Laws and regulations in these jurisdictions apply broadly to the collection, use, storage, disclosure, and security of data that identifies or may be used to identify or locate an individual, such as names, email addresses and, in some jurisdictions, Internet Protocol, or IP, addresses. With regard to transfers of personal data from our European employees and customers to the United States, we historically relied on our adherence to the United States Department of Commerce’s Safe Harbor Privacy Principles and compliance with the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Safe Harbor Frameworks as agreed to and set forth by the United States Department of Commerce, the EU, and Switzerland, which established means for legitimizing the transfer of personal data by companies doing business in Europe from the EU and Switzerland to the United States. The EU-U.S. Safe Harbor Framework was deemed an invalid method of compliance with EU restrictions on data transfers in a ruling by the Court of Justice of the European Union in October 2015. We have since taken certain measures to legitimize our transfers of personal data, both internally and on behalf of our customers, from the EU and Switzerland to the United States. These frameworks were established by EU, Swiss, and U.S. authorities to provide mechanisms for companies to transfer EU and Swiss personal data to the United States. It is unclear at this time whether the EU-U.S. or Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Frameworks will serve as an appropriate means for us to transfer personal data from the EU or Switzerland to the United States. However, this Framework is under review and there is currently litigation challenging other EU mechanisms for adequate data transfers (i.e., the standard contractual clauses), as well as a call by the EU parliament for the suspension of the Framework as it relates to the U.S. It is uncertain whether the standard contractual clauses will be similarly invalidated by the European courts. We will be impacted by this change in law as a result of a future review of these transfer mechanisms by European regulators, as well as current challenges to these mechanisms in the European courts.
International privacy and data security regulations may become more complex and have greater consequences. For instance, as of May 25, 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR, has replaced the Data Protection Directive with respect to the collection and use of personal data of data subjects in the EU. The GDPR applies extra territorially and imposes several stringent requirements for controllers and processors of personal data, including, for example, higher standards for obtaining consent from individuals to process their personal data, more robust disclosures to individuals and a strengthened individual data rights regime, shortened timelines for data breach notifications, limitations on retention of information, increased requirements pertaining to special categories of personal data and pseudonymised (i.e., key-coded) data and additional obligations when we contract third party processors in connection with the processing of the personal data. The GDPR provides that EU member states may make their own further laws and regulations limiting the (i) processing of personal data, including special categories of special data (e.g., racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs), and (ii) profiling and automated individual decision-making of individual; which could limit our ability to use and share personal data or other data and could cause our costs to increase, and harm our business and financial condition. Noncompliance with the GDPR can trigger steep fines of up to €20 million or 4% of global annual revenue, whichever is higher. Separate EU laws and regulations (and member states’ implementations thereof) govern the protection of consumers and of electronic communications.


26

Further, as the GDPR has recently come into effect, enforcement priorities and interpretation of certain provisions are still unclear. To comply with the new data protection rules imposed by GDPR we may be required to put in place additional mechanisms ensuring compliance and other substantial expenditures. This may be onerous and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.
The implementation of the GDPR has led other jurisdictions to amend, or propose legislation to amend, their existing data protection laws to align with the requirements of the GDPR with the aim of obtaining an adequate level of data protection to facilitate the transfer of personal data from the EU. Accordingly, the challenges we face in the EU will likely also apply to other jurisdictions outside the EU that adopt laws similar in construction to the GDPR or regulatory frameworks of equivalent complexity. For example, in 2018, the State of California adopted the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, or the CCPA.
The CCPA has been characterized as the first “GDPR-like” privacy statute to be enacted in the United States because it mirrors a number of the key provisions of the GDPR. The CCPA establishes a new privacy framework for covered businesses by creating an expanded definition of personal information, establishing new data privacy rights for consumers in the State of California, imposing special rules on the collection of consumer data from minors, and creating a new and potentially severe statutory damages framework for violations of the CCPA and for businesses that fail to implement reasonable security procedures and practices to prevent data breaches. As currently enacted, we and our customers will be required to comply with these requirements before the CCPA becomes effective on January 1, 2020.
These new requirements could reduce demand for our XM Platform, increase our costs, impair our ability to grow our business, or restrict our ability to store and process data or, in some cases, impact our ability to offer our platform in some locations and may subject us to liability. Further, in view of new or modified federal, state, or foreign laws and regulations, industry standards, contractual obligations, and other legal obligations, or any changes in their interpretation, we may find it necessary or desirable to fundamentally change our business activities and practices or to expend significant resources to modify our platform and otherwise adapt to these changes. We may be unable to make such changes and modifications in a commercially reasonable manner, or at all, and our ability to develop new content and features could be limited. Further, failure to comply with the GDPR, the CCPA and other countries’ privacy or data security-related laws, rules or regulations could result in material penalties imposed by regulators, affect our compliance with client contracts and have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
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 depends in part upon our intellectual property and other proprietary rights. We primarily rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trade secret and trademark laws, trade secret protection and confidentiality or license agreements with our employees, customers, partners and others to protect our intellectual property rights. However, the steps we take to protect our intellectual property rights may be insufficient, and our intellectual property may still be challenged, invalidated, or subject to other attacks from competitors or former employees, and we cannot guarantee that any of our pending applications will be approved or that our existing and future intellectual property rights will be sufficiently broad to protect our proprietary technology. For example, competitors may try to use brand names confusingly similar to ours for similar services in order to benefit from our brand’s value. Others, including our competitors, may independently develop similar technology, duplicate our services or design around our intellectual property and, in such cases, we may not be able assert our intellectual property rights against such parties. Further, our contractual arrangements may not effectively prevent disclosure of our confidential information or provide an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized disclosure of our confidential information, and we may be unable to detect the unauthorized use of, or take appropriate steps to enforce, our intellectual property rights.
We hold a number of patents and patent applications in the United States and a number of international patent applications that we may use to pursue patents and patent applications in other foreign jurisdictions. We make business decisions about when to seek patent protection for a particular technology and when to rely upon trade secret protection, and the approach we select may ultimately prove to be inadequate. Even in cases where we seek patent protection, there is no assurance that the resulting patents will effectively protect every significant feature of our solutions, technology,

or proprietary information, or provide us with any competitive advantages. Moreover, we cannot guarantee that any of our pending patent applications will issue or be approved. The United States Patent and Trademark Office, or the USPTO, and various foreign governmental patent agencies also require compliance with a number of procedural, documentary, fee payment and other similar provisions during the patent application process and after a patent has issued. There are situations in which noncompliance can result in abandonment or lapse of the patent or patent application, resulting in partial or complete loss of patent rights in the relevant jurisdiction. If this occurs, our competitors might be able to enter the market, which would have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, we believe that the protection of our trademark rights is an important factor in platform recognition, protecting our brand, and maintaining goodwill. If we do not adequately protect our rights in our trademarks from infringement, any goodwill that we have developed in those trademarks could be lost or impaired, which could harm our brand and our business. Furthermore, we may not always detect infringement of our intellectual property rights, and any infringement of our intellectual property rights, even if successfully detected, prosecuted and enjoined, could be costly to deal with and could harm our business. In any event, in order to protect our intellectual property rights, we may be required to spend significant resources to monitor and protect these rights. We cannot assure you that our monitoring efforts will detect every infringement of our intellectual property rights by a third party. Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights and to protect our trade secrets.
Effective trademark, copyright, patent, and trade secret protection may not be available in every country in which we conduct business. In addition, many foreign countries limit the enforceability of patents against third parties, including government agencies or government contractors. In these countries, patents may provide limited or no benefit. Further, intellectual property law, including statutory and case law, particularly in the United States, is constantly developing, and any changes in the law could make it harder for us to enforce our rights.
Litigation brought to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights, has been in the past, and could be in the future, costly, time consuming and distracting to management. Furthermore, our efforts to enforce our intellectual property rights may be met with defenses, counterclaims and counter-suits attacking the validity and enforceability of our intellectual property rights, which could result in the impairment or loss of portions of our intellectual property rights. An adverse determination of any litigation proceedings could put our intellectual property at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly and could put our related pending patent applications at risk of not issuing. Furthermore, because of the substantial amount of discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation, there is a risk that some of our confidential or sensitive information could be compromised by disclosure in the event of litigation. In addition, during the course of litigation, there could be public announcements of the results of hearings, motions or other interim proceedings or developments. If securities analysts or investors perceive these results to be negative, it could have a substantial adverse effect on the price of our common stock. Our failure to secure, protect, and enforce our intellectual property rights could delay further implementation of our platform, impair functionality of our platform, delay introductions of new products and services, result in our substituting inferior or more costly technologies into our platform or harm our brand and our business. Further, we may not always detect infringement of our intellectual property rights, and defending our intellectual property rights, even if successfully detected, prosecuted, enjoined, or remedied, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources.
Moreover, a portion of our intellectual property has been acquired from one or more third parties. While we have conducted diligence with respect to such acquisitions, because we did not participate in the development or prosecution of much of the acquired intellectual property, we cannot guarantee that our diligence efforts identified and/or remedied all issues related to such intellectual property, including potential ownership errors, potential errors during prosecution of such intellectual property, and potential encumbrances that could limit our ability to enforce such intellectual property rights.
We may be sued by third parties for alleged infringement or misappropriation of their proprietary rights.
There is considerable patent and other intellectual property development activity in our industry. Our future success depends in part on not infringing upon or misappropriating the intellectual property rights of others. From time to time, our competitors or other third parties have claimed in the past, and may claim in the future, that we are infringing upon or misappropriating their intellectual property rights, and we may be found to be infringing upon or misappropriating such rights. We may not be successful in defending against any such challenges, securing settlements, or obtaining licenses to avoid or resolve any intellectual property disputes.

In a patent infringement claim against us, we may assert, as a defense, that we do not infringe the relevant patent claims, that the patent is invalid, or both. The strength of our defenses will depend on the patents asserted, the interpretation of these patents, and our ability to invalidate the asserted patents. However, we could be unsuccessful in advancing non-infringement and/or invalidity arguments in our defense. In the United States, issued patents enjoy a presumption of validity, and the party challenging the validity of a patent claim must present clear and convincing evidence of invalidity, which is a high burden of proof. Conversely, the patent owner need only prove infringement by a preponderance of the evidence, which is a lower burden of proof. We may be unaware of the intellectual property rights of others that may cover some or all of our technology, or technology that we obtain from third parties. Because patent applications can take years to issue and are often afforded confidentiality for some period of time there may currently be pending applications, unknown to us, that later result in issued patents that could cover one or more of our products. Any claims or litigation (with or without merit) could cause us to incur significant expenses and, if successfully asserted against us, could require that we pay substantial damages or ongoing royalty payments, prevent us from offering our solutions or using certain technologies, require us to implement expensive work-arounds, or require that we comply with other unfavorable terms. In the case of infringement or misappropriation caused by technology that we obtain from third parties, any indemnification or other contractual protections we obtain from such third parties, if any, may be insufficient to cover the liabilities we incur as a result of such infringement or misappropriation. We may also be obligated to indemnify our customers or business partners in connection with any such litigation and to obtain licenses, modify our solutions, or refund fees, which could further exhaust our resources. In addition, we may incur substantial costs to resolve claims or litigation, whether or not successfully asserted against us, which could include payment of significant settlement, royalty, or license fees, modification of our solutions or refunds to customers of fees, which would negatively impact our financial performance. Even if we were to prevail in the event of claims or litigation against us, any claim or litigation regarding our intellectual property could be costly and time-consuming and divert the attention of our management and other employees from our business operations and disrupt our business or harm our brand and reputation.
Moreover, our intellectual property acquired from one or more third parties may have previously been the subject of one or more intellectual property infringement suits and/or allegations. While we have conducted diligence with respect to such acquisitions, we cannot guarantee that our diligence efforts identified and/or remedied all issues related to such intellectual property infringement suits and/or allegations. Moreover, we cannot guarantee that we understand and/or have complied with all obligations related to the settlement of such intellectual property suits and/or the resolution of such intellectual property allegations.
We use open source software in our platform that may subject our platform to general release or require us to re-engineer our platform, which may harm our business.
We use open source software in our XM Platform and expect to continue to use open source software in our platform in the future. There are uncertainties regarding the proper interpretation of and compliance with open source software licenses. Moreover, we cannot assure you that our processes for controlling our use of open source software in our XM Platform have been or will be effective. Consequently, any of these circumstances could result in reputational harm and harm to our business and results of operations. In addition, if the license terms for the open source software we utilize change, we may be forced to re-engineer our platform or incur additional costs to comply with the changed license terms or to replace the affected open source software. Although we have implemented policies and tools to regulate the use and incorporation of open source software into our XMPlatform, we cannot be certain that we have not incorporated open source software in our platform in a manner that is inconsistent with such policies.
Responding to any infringement claim, regardless of its validity, or discovering open source software code in our platform could harm our business, operating results, and financial condition, by, among other things:
resulting in time-consuming and costly litigation;
diverting management’s time and attention from developing our business;
requiring us to pay monetary damages or enter into royalty and licensing agreements that we would not normally find acceptable;
causing delays in the deployment of our platform;


29


Table of Contents

requiring us to stop selling certain of our platform;
requiring us to redesign certain components of our platform using alternative non-infringing or non-open source technology or practices, which could require significant effort and expense;
requiring us to disclose our software source code, the detailed program commands for our software; and
requiring us to satisfy indemnification obligations to our customers.
Indemnity provisions in various agreements potentially expose us to substantial liability for intellectual property infringement and other losses.
Our agreements with customers and other third parties may include indemnification or other provisions under which we agree to indemnify or otherwise be liable to them for losses suffered or incurred as a result of claims of intellectual property infringement, damages caused by us to property or persons, or other liabilities relating to or arising from our solutions or other acts or omissions. The term of these contractual provisions often survives termination or expiration of the applicable agreement. Large indemnity payments or damage claims from contractual breach could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. Although we normally contractually limit our liability with respect to such obligations, we may still incur substantial liability related to them. Any dispute with a customer with respect to such obligations could have adverse effects on our relationship with that customer and other current and prospective customers, reduce demand for our solutions, and harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Our business is subject to a variety of United States and international laws that could subject us to claims, increase the cost of operations, or otherwise harm our business due to changes in the laws, changes in the interpretations of the laws, greater enforcement of the laws, or investigations into compliance with the laws.
Our business is subject to regulation by various federal, state, local, and foreign governmental agencies, including agencies responsible for monitoring and enforcing copyright laws, employment and labor laws, workplace safety, consumer protection laws, privacy and data protection laws, anti-bribery laws, import and export controls, federal securities laws, and tax laws and regulations. In certain foreign jurisdictions, these regulatory requirements may be more stringent than those in the United States. These laws and regulations are subject to change over time and thus we must continue to monitor and dedicate resources to ensure continued compliance. Non-compliance with applicable regulations or requirements could subject us to investigations, sanctions, enforcement actions, disgorgement of profits, fines, damages, civil and criminal penalties, or injunctions. If any governmental sanctions are imposed, or if we do not prevail in any possible civil or criminal litigation, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. 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 harm our business, operating results, and financial condition.
We are also subject to consumer protection laws that may impact our sales and marketing efforts, including laws related to subscriptions, billing, and auto-renewal. These laws, as well as any changes in these laws, could make it more difficult for us to retain existing customers and attract new ones.
We are subject to governmental export and import controls, economic sanctions, and anti-corruption laws and regulations that could impair our ability to compete in international markets and subject us to liability if we are not in full compliance with applicable laws.
Our business activities are subject to various restrictions under United States export and similar laws and regulations, including the United States Department of Commerce’s Export Administration Regulations, or the EAR, and various economic and trade sanctions regulations administered by the United States Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Controls, or OFAC. The United States export control laws and United States economic sanctions laws include restrictions or prohibitions on the sale or supply of certain products and services to United States embargoed or sanctioned countries, governments, persons and entities. In addition, various countries regulate the import of certain technology and have enacted or could enact laws that could limit our ability to provide our customers access to our XM Platform or could limit our customers’ ability to access or use our platform in those countries.

Table of Contents

Although we take precautions to prevent our platform from being provided in violation of such laws, we may have provided services to some customers in apparent violation of U.S. economic sanction laws. In addition, we may have exported software to some customers prior to submitting filings to the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security, or BIS, as required by the EAR. As a result, we have submitted to OFAC and to BIS initial notifications of voluntary self-disclosure concerning potential violations. If we are found to be in violation of U.S. economic sanctions or export control laws, it could result in substantial fines and penalties for us and for the individuals working for us. We may also be adversely affected through other penalties, reputational harm, loss of access to certain markets, or otherwise.
In addition, various countries regulate the import and export of certain encryption and other technology, including import and export permitting and licensing requirements, and have enacted laws that could limit our ability to distribute our platform or could limit our users’ ability to access our platform in those countries. Changes in our XM Platform, or future changes in export and import regulations may prevent our users with international operations from utilizing our platform globally or, in some cases, prevent the export or import of our platform to certain countries, governments, or persons altogether. Any change in export or import regulations, economic sanctions, or related legislation, or change in the countries, governments, persons, or technologies targeted by such regulations, could result in decreased use of our platform by, or in our decreased ability to export or sell subscriptions to our platform to, existing or potential users with international operations. Any decreased use of our platform or limitation on our ability to export or sell our platform would likely adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial results.
We are also subject to various domestic and international anti-corruption laws, such as the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the U.K. Bribery Act, as well as other similar anti-bribery and anti-kickback laws and regulations. These laws and regulations generally prohibit companies and their employees and intermediaries from authorizing, offering, providing, and accepting improper payments or benefits for improper purposes. These laws also require that we keep accurate books and records and maintain compliance procedures designed to prevent any such actions. Although we take precautions to prevent violations of these laws, our exposure for violating these laws increases as our international presence expands and as we increase sales and operations in foreign jurisdictions.
Our quarterly and annual results of operations may vary and may be difficult to predict. If we fail to meet the expectations of investors or securities analysts, our stock price and the value of your investment could decline.
Our quarterly and annual billings, revenue, and results of operations have fluctuated in the past and may vary in the future due to a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. Our financial results in any one quarter should not be relied upon as indicative of future performance. We may not be able to accurately predict our future billings, revenue, or results of operations. Factors that may cause fluctuations in our quarterly results of operations include, but are not limited to, those listed below:
fluctuations in the demand for our platform, and the timing of sales;
our ability to attract new customers or retain existing customers;
the budgeting cycles and internal purchasing priorities of our customers;
the payment terms and subscription term length associated with our platform sales and their effect on our billings and free cash flow;
our ability to anticipate or respond to changes in the competitive landscape, including consolidation among competitors;
the timing of expenses and recognition of revenue;
the timing of our recognition of stock-based compensation expense for our equity awards, particularly in cases where awards covering a large number of our shares are tied to a specific event or date, such as the performance condition on many of our awards that will be satisfied upon the effectiveness of this offering and recognized in the period in which this offering occurs;
the amount and timing of operating expenses related to the maintenance and expansion of our business,


31


Table of Contents

operations, and infrastructure;
the timing and success of new product features and solutions by us or our competitors;
actual or perceived security breaches;
changes in laws and regulations that impact our business; and
general economic and market conditions.
If our billings, revenue, or results of operations fall below the expectations of investors or securities analysts in a particular quarter, or below any guidance that we may provide, the price of our Class B common stock could decline.
As an example of these risks, we note that as of June 30, 2018, we had outstanding restricted stock awards covering 2.0 million shares and outstanding restricted stock unit awards covering 44.1 million shares that are scheduled to vest upon the effectiveness of this offering, when the performance condition in such awards will be satisfied.  If the performance condition had been satisfied with respect to these awards on June 30, 2018, we would have recorded $73.9 million of stock-based compensation expense in the three months ended June 30, 2018.  Accordingly, in the period during which we complete this offering, we will record this large stock based compensation charge, which will result in a period-over-period decrease in our profitability as calculated under GAAP, for a reason that we believe is unrelated to the underlying performance of our business.  It is for this and similar reasons that we note for investors that our quarterly and annual financial results may fluctuate due to factors identified above and we do not believe that our financial results in any one quarter or any other period should be relied upon by investors as indicative of our future financial performance.
We do not have the history with our subscription or pricing models that we need to accurately predict optimal pricing necessary to attract new customers and retain existing customers.
We have limited experience with respect to determining the optimal prices for our solutions and, as a result, we have in the past and expect in the future that we will need to change our pricing model from time to time. As the market for our solutions matures, or as competitors introduce new solutions that compete with ours, we may be unable to attract new customers at the same price or based on the same pricing models as we have used historically. We provide our software on a subscription basis priced on the number of solutions and level of functionality required by customers and the number of users and level of interactions through our software, and therefore, pricing decisions may also impact the mix of adoption among our subscription plans and negatively impact our overall revenue. Further, pricing pressures and increased competition generally could result in reduced sales, reduced margins, losses, or the failure of our products to achieve or maintain more widespread market acceptance, any of which could harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition. For example, in the fourth quarter of 2017, we revised our pricing model, and we are still evaluating the impact of that recent change on our business. As a result, in the future we may be required to reduce our prices or develop new pricing models, which could adversely affect our revenue, gross margin, profitability, financial position, and cash flow.
Interruptions or delays in service from our data center facilities could impair the delivery of our platform and harm our business.
We currently serve our customers both from our data center facilities in the United States and Canada, and from third party data center facilities located in Australia, Germany, and the United States. Any damage to, or failure of, our systems generally could result in interruptions in our XM Platform. As we continue to add new data centers, add capacity in our existing data centers and transition existing data centers from a managed service hosting model to a co-location model, we may move or transfer our data and our customers’ data. Despite precautions taken during this process, any unsuccessful data transfers may impair the use of our platform. Any damage to, or failure of, our platform, or those of our third party data centers, could result in interruptions in use of our platform. Impairment of or interruptions in customers accessing our platform may reduce our revenue, cause us to issue credits or pay penalties, subject us to claims and litigation, cause our customers to terminate their subscriptions and adversely affect our renewal rates and our ability to attract new customers. We have experienced interruptions and delays in service in the past and we may experience interruptions and delays in service in the future. Our business will also be harmed if our customers and


32


Table of Contents

potential customers believe our XMPlatform is unreliable.
We do not control, or in some cases have limited control over, the operation of the data center facilities we use, and they are vulnerable to damage or interruption from earthquakes, floods, fires, power loss, telecommunications failures and similar events. They may also be subject to break-ins, sabotage, intentional acts of vandalism and similar misconduct, and to adverse events caused by operator error. We cannot rapidly switch to new data centers or move customers from one data center to another in the event of any adverse event. Despite precautions taken at these facilities, the occurrence of a natural disaster, an act of terrorism or other act of malfeasance, a decision to close the facilities without adequate notice or other unanticipated problems at these facilities could result in lengthy interruptions in accessing our platform and the loss of customer data.
Our transition from third party hosted data centers to our own managed co-location facilities is expensive and could impact our gross margins and our financial results.
We have made and will continue to make substantial investments in new equipment to support growth at our data centers and provide enhanced levels of service to our customers. We continue to transition certain of our data centers from a managed service hosting model, where a third party manages most aspects of our cloud operations, to a predominantly co-location model, where we will have more direct control over our hosting infrastructure and its operation. We anticipate that this transition will be expensive in the near term as we invest in new equipment and accelerate depreciation on certain assets from our co-located data centers and incur additional rent expenses as we complete this transition. We currently expect our planned transitions to be substantially complete by the end of 2018. If it takes longer than we expect to complete this transition, the impact on our operating results would likely exceed our initial expectations, particularly if the scope of the project grows and we deploy additional resources and hire additional personnel to complete the project. Additionally, to the extent that we are required to add data center capacity to accommodate customer demands, we may need to significantly increase the bandwidth, storage, power or other elements of our hosting operations, and the costs associated with adjustments to our data center architecture could also harm our margins and operating results.
We recognize revenue from subscriptions ratably over the term of our customer contracts, and as such our reported revenue and billings may differ significantly in a given period, and our revenue in any period may not be indicative of our financial health and future performance.
We recognize revenue from subscriptions ratably over the subscription term of the underlying customer contract, which is generally one year. Our billings are recorded upon invoicing for access to our XM Platform, and thus a significant portion of the billings we report in each quarter are generated from customer agreements entered and invoiced during the period. As a result, much of the revenue we report each quarter is derived from contracts that we entered into with customers in prior periods. Consequently, a decline in new or renewed subscriptions in any quarter will not be fully reflected in revenue or other results of operations in that quarter but will negatively affect our revenue and other results of operations across future quarters. It is difficult for us to rapidly increase our revenue from additional billings in a given period. Any increases in the average term of subscriptions would result in revenue for those contracts being recognized over longer periods of time with little impact on our results of operations in the near term. Our Research on Demand revenue and professional services and other revenue is recognized upon completion of the performance or as the service is rendered. Accordingly, our revenue in any given period may not be an accurate indicator of our financial health and future performance.
If we fail to integrate our solutions with a variety of operating systems, software applications, platforms, and hardware that are developed by others, our solutions may become less marketable, less competitive, or obsolete and our results of operations would be harmed.
Our solutions must integrate with a variety of network, hardware, and software platforms, and we need to continuously modify and enhance our solutions to adapt to changes in hardware, software, networking, browser, and database technologies. In particular, we have developed our solutions to be able to easily integrate with third party SaaS applications, including the applications of software providers that compete with us, through the interaction of application programming interfaces, or APIs. In general, we rely on the fact that the providers of such software systems continue to allow us access to their APIs to enable these customer integrations. To date, we have not relied on a long-term written contract to govern our relationship with these providers. Instead, we are subject to the standard terms and conditions


33


Table of Contents

for application developers of such providers, which govern the distribution, operation, and fees of such software systems, and which are subject to change by such providers from time to time.
Our business could be adversely impacted by changes in internet access for our users or laws specifically governing the internet.
Our XM Platform depends on the quality of our users’ access to the internet. Certain features of our platform require significant bandwidth and fidelity to work effectively. Internet access is frequently provided by companies that have significant market power that could take actions that degrade, disrupt, or increase the cost of user access to our platform, which would negatively impact our business. We could incur greater operating expenses and our ability to acquire and retain customers could be negatively impacted if network operators:
implement usage-based pricing;
discount pricing for competitive products;
otherwise materially change their pricing rates or schemes;
charge us to deliver our traffic at certain levels or at all;
throttle traffic based on its source or type;
implement bandwidth caps or other usage restrictions; or
otherwise try to monetize or control access to their networks.
In December 2017, the Federal Communications Commission announced it will revise the “net neutrality” rules. The rules were designed to ensure that all online content is treated the same by internet service providers and other companies that provide broadband services. Should the net neutrality rules be relaxed or eliminated, we could incur greater operating expenses, which could harm our results of operations.
As the internet continues to experience growth in the number of users, frequency of use, and amount of data transmitted, the internet infrastructure that we and our users rely on may be unable to support the demands placed upon it. The failure of the internet infrastructure that we or our users rely on, even for a short period of time, could undermine our operations and harm our results of operations.
In addition, there are various laws and regulations that could impede the growth of the internet or other online services, and new laws and regulations may be adopted in the future. These laws and regulations could, in addition to limiting internet neutrality, involve taxation, tariffs, privacy, data protection, information security, content, copyrights, distribution, electronic contracts and other communications, consumer protection, and the characteristics and quality of services, any of which could decrease the demand for, or the usage of, our platform. Legislators and regulators may make legal and regulatory changes, or interpret and apply existing laws, in ways that require us to incur substantial costs, expose us to unanticipated civil or criminal liability, or cause us to change our business practices. These changes or increased costs could materially harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Our international operations subject us to potentially adverse tax consequences.
We are subject to income taxes as well as non-income-based taxes, such as payroll, sales, use, value-added, property, and goods and services taxes, in both the United States and various foreign jurisdictions. Our domestic and international tax liabilities are subject to various jurisdictional rules regarding the timing and allocation of revenue and expenses. Additionally, the amount of income taxes paid is subject to our interpretation of applicable tax laws in the jurisdictions in which we file and to changes in tax laws. Significant judgment is required in determining our worldwide provision for income taxes and other tax liabilities. From time to time, we may be subject to income and non-income tax audits. While we believe we have complied with all applicable income tax laws, there can be no assurance that a governing tax authority will not have a different interpretation of the law and assess us with additional taxes. Should we be assessed with additional taxes, there could be a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Our future effective tax rate may be affected by such factors as changes in tax laws, regulations, or rates, changing interpretation of existing laws or regulations, the impact of accounting for equity-based compensation, the impact of accounting for business combinations, changes in our international organization, and changes in overall levels of income before tax. In addition, in the ordinary course of our global business, there are many intercompany transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Although we believe that our tax estimates are reasonable, we cannot ensure that the final determination of tax audits or tax disputes will not be different from what is reflected in our historical income tax provisions and accruals.
We may have exposure to greater than anticipated tax liabilities and may be affected by changes in tax laws or interpretations, any of which could adversely impact our results of operations.
We are subject to income taxes in the United States and various jurisdictions outside of the United States. Our effective tax rate could fluctuate due to changes in the mix of earnings and losses in countries with differing statutory tax rates. Our tax expense could also be impacted by changes in non-deductible expenses, changes in excess tax benefits of equity-based compensation, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities and our ability to utilize them, the applicability of withholding taxes, effects from acquisitions, and the evaluation of new information that results in a change to a tax position taken in a prior period. A successful assertion by a country, state, or other jurisdiction that we have an income tax filing obligation could result in substantial tax liabilities for prior tax years.
Our tax position could also be impacted by changes in accounting principles, changes in United States federal, state, or international tax laws applicable to corporate multinationals, other fundamental law changes currently being considered by many countries, including the United States, and changes in taxing jurisdictions’ administrative interpretations, decisions, policies, and positions. For example, on December 22, 2017, tax reform legislation referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, or the Tax Act, was enacted in the United States. The Tax Act significantly revises United States federal income tax law, including by lowering the corporate income tax rate to 21%, limiting the deductibility of interest expense, imposing new limitations on utilizing net operating losses, or NOLs, created in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, implementing a modified territorial tax system, and imposing a one-time repatriation tax on deemed repatriated earnings and profits of United States -owned foreign subsidiaries. While the Tax Act will result in a lower domestic corporate income tax rate, which could impact our effective tax rate, we currently do not expect the impact on our effective tax rate to be material. We have reflected the expected impact of the Tax Act in our financial statements in accordance with our understanding of the Tax Act and guidance available as of the date of this prospectus. However, many consequences of the Tax Act, including whether and how state, local, and foreign jurisdictions will react to such changes are not entirely clear at this time and the United States Department of Treasury has broad authority to issue regulations and interpretive guidance that may significantly impact how the Tax Act will apply to us. Any of the foregoing changes could have an adverse impact on our results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition.
Additionally, the Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development has released guidance covering various topics, including transfer pricing, country-by-country reporting, and definitional changes to permanent establishment that could ultimately impact our tax liabilities as it is implemented in various jurisdictions.
Our results of operations may be harmed if we are required to collect sales or other related taxes for our subscription solutions in jurisdictions where we have not historically done so.
We collect sales and similar value-added taxes as part of our customer agreements in a number of jurisdictions. Sales and use, value-added, and similar tax laws and rates vary greatly by jurisdiction. One or more states or countries may seek to impose additional sales, use, or other tax collection obligations on us, including for past sales by us. The U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision in South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc. may increase that risk by increasing states’ ability to assert taxing jurisdiction on out-of-state retailers. A successful assertion by a state, country, or other jurisdiction that we should have been or should be collecting additional sales, use, or other taxes on our platform could, among other things, result in substantial tax liabilities for past sales, create significant administrative burdens for us, discourage customers from purchasing our platform, or otherwise harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

We may not be able to utilize a significant portion of our NOLs or research tax credit carryforwards, which could adversely affect our potential profitability.
We have federal and state NOLs, due to prior period losses, which if not utilized will begin to expire in 2035 and 2025 for federal and state purposes, respectively. As of December 31, 2017, we had federal and state NOLs of approximately $39.0 million and $41.7 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2017, we had federal research tax credit carryforwards of $4.2 million and Utah research tax credit carryforwards of $0.7 million, which if not utilized will begin to expire in 2034 and 2029, respectively. These NOLs and research tax credit carryforwards, and NOLs of companies we may acquire, could expire unused and be unavailable to reduce future income tax liabilities, which could adversely affect our profitability. Realization of our NOL carryforwards and tax credits is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income prior to their expiration. Although a portion of these carryforwards and tax credits are subject to the provisions of Internal Revenue Code Sections 382 and 383, we have not performed a formal study to determine the amount of a limitation, if any.
In addition, under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, our ability to utilize NOLs or other tax attributes, such as research tax credits, in any taxable year may be limited if we experience an “ownership change.” Such an “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. This offering and the transactions contemplated hereby may trigger an “ownership change.”
If we determine that an ownership change has occurred and our ability to use our historical NOL and tax credit carryforwards is materially limited, it would harm our future operating results by effectively increasing our future tax obligations. Also, even assuming that no such ownership changes have occurred, and thus no such limits on the usage of our NOLs under Section 382 would apply, the recently enacted amendments to the Code under the Tax Act reduced the value of our NOLs by reducing the corporate tax rate, and included additional limitations on our ability to utilize our NOLs. In general, the Tax Act provides that the portion of such NOLs arising in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 cannot be utilized to offset more than 80% of our taxable income, determined without regard to the application of NOLs.
We are subject to tax examinations of our tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, and other tax authorities. An adverse outcome of any such audit or examination by the IRS or other tax authority could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity.
We are, and expect to continue to be, subject to regular review and audit by the IRS and other tax authorities in various jurisdictions. As a result, we have received, and may in the future receive, assessments in multiple jurisdictions on various tax-related assertions. For instance, in July 2018, the IRS notified us of an upcoming income tax audit for the 2014 and 2015 tax years, which remains ongoing. Taxing authorities have also challenged, and may in the future challenge, our tax positions and methodologies on various matters, including our positions regarding the collection of sales and use taxes and the jurisdictions in which we are subject to taxes, which could expose us to additional taxes. We regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from ongoing tax examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes. These assessments can require considerable estimates and judgments. The calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations in a variety of jurisdictions. There can be no assurance that our tax positions and methodologies or calculation of our tax liabilities are accurate or that the outcomes from ongoing and future tax examinations will not have an adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition. A difference in the ultimate resolution of tax uncertainties from what is currently estimated could have an adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.
The nature of our business requires the application of complex revenue and expense recognition rules, and any significant changes in current rules could affect our financial statements and results of operations.
The accounting rules and regulations that we must comply with are complex and subject to interpretation by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or the FASB, the SEC, and various bodies formed to promulgate and interpret appropriate accounting principles. Recent actions and public comments from the FASB and the SEC have focused on the integrity of financial reporting and internal controls over financial reporting. In addition, many companies’ accounting policies and practices are being subject to heightened scrutiny by regulators and the public. Further, the


36


Table of Contents

accounting rules and regulations are continually changing in ways that could materially impact our financial statements. For example, in May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, or Topic 606, as amended, which has superseded nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance. For public business entities, the standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. We have early adopted Topic 606 using the full retrospective transition method. Other companies in our industry may apply these accounting principles differently than we do, adversely affecting the comparability of our financial statements. See Note 2 to our accompanying financial statements for information about Topic 606. In addition, if we were to change our critical accounting estimates, including those related to the recognition of subscription revenue and other revenue sources or the period of benefit for deferred contract acquisition costs, our results of operations could be significantly affected.
If our judgments or estimates relating to our critical accounting policies are based on assumptions that change or prove to be incorrect, our results of operations could fall below expectations of securities analysts and investors, resulting in a decline in our stock price.
The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, as provided in the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets, liabilities, and equity, and the amount of revenue and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our results of operations may be adversely affected if our assumptions change or if actual circumstances differ from those in our assumptions, which could cause our results of operations to fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors, resulting in a decline in the trading price of our Class B common stock. Significant judgments, estimates, and assumptions used in preparing our consolidated financial statements include, or may in the future include, those related to revenue recognition, deferred contract acquisition costs, the period of benefit generated from deferred contract acquisition costs, stock-based compensation expense, goodwill and intangible assets, and accounting for income taxes, including deferred tax assets and liabilities.
If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, our ability to produce timely and accurate financial statements or comply with applicable regulations could be impaired.
As a public company, we will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and the rules and regulations of the listing standards of The Nasdaq Global Select Market, or Nasdaq. We expect that the requirements of these rules and regulations will continue to increase our legal, accounting, and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming, and costly, and place significant strain on our personnel, systems, and resources. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. We are continuing to develop and refine our disclosure controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we will file with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that information required to be disclosed in reports under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our principal executive and financial officers. We are also continuing to improve our internal control over financial reporting. In order to maintain and improve the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, we have expended, and anticipate that we will continue to expend, significant resources, including accounting-related costs and significant management oversight.
Our current controls and any new controls that we develop may become inadequate because of changes in conditions in our business. Further, weaknesses in our disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting may be discovered in the future. Any failure to develop or maintain effective controls or any difficulties encountered in their implementation or improvement could harm our results of operations or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations and may result in a restatement of our financial statements for prior periods. Any failure to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting also could adversely affect the results of periodic management evaluations and annual independent registered public accounting firm attestation reports regarding the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting that we will eventually be required to include in our periodic reports that


37


Table of Contents

will be filed with the SEC. Ineffective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial and other information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our Class B common stock. In addition, if we are unable to continue to meet these requirements, we may not be able to remain listed on Nasdaq. We are not currently required to comply with the SEC rules that implement Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and are therefore not required to make a formal assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for that purpose. As a public company, we will be required to provide an annual management report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting commencing with our second Annual Report on Form 10-K. 
Our independent registered public accounting firm is not required to attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting until after we are no longer an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act. At such time, our independent registered public accounting firm may issue a report that is adverse in the event it is not satisfied with the level at which our internal control over financial reporting is documented, designed, or operating. Any failure to maintain effective disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting could have a material and adverse effect on our business and results of operations and could cause a decline in the price of our Class B common stock.
We might require additional capital to support our growth, and this capital might not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.
We intend to continue to make investments to support our growth and may require additional funds to respond to business challenges, including the need to develop new features or enhance our existing XMPlatform or acquire complementary businesses, technologies, and content. Accordingly, we may need to engage in equity or debt financings to secure additional funds. If we raise additional funds through further issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences, and privileges superior to those of holders of our common stock. Any debt financing secured by us in the future could involve 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 to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. In addition, we may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to us, if at all. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us when we require it, our ability to continue to support our growth and to respond to business challenges could be significantly impaired.
Certain estimates of market opportunity, forecasts of market growth, and our operating metrics included in this prospectus may prove to be inaccurate.
Market opportunity estimates and growth forecasts are subject to significant uncertainty and are based on assumptions and estimates that may not prove to be accurate. The estimates and forecasts in this prospectus relating to the size and expected growth of our target market may prove to be inaccurate. Even if the markets in which we compete meet the size estimates and growth forecasted in this prospectus, our business could fail to grow at similar rates, if at all. These estimates are calculated using internal data and are subject to a number of assumptions and extrapolations, and as a result, the actual market opportunity and growth forecasts may be different than our disclosed numbers.
We may face exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.
Our results of operations and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly changes in the Euro, British Pound sterling, and Australian Dollar. We have not instituted a hedging program. We expect our international operations to continue to grow in the near term and we are continually monitoring our foreign currency exposure to determine when we should begin a hedging program. Today, our international contracts are denominated in either U.S. dollars or local currency, while our international operating expenses are often denominated in local currencies. Additionally, as we expand our international operations, a larger portion of our operating expenses will be denominated in local currencies. Therefore, fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies may affect our results of operations when translated into U.S. dollars.
Catastrophic events may disrupt our business.
Natural disasters or other catastrophic events may cause damage or disruption to our operations, international


38


Table of Contents

commerce, and the global economy, and thus could harm our business. In the event of a major earthquake, hurricane or catastrophic event such as fire, power loss, telecommunications failure, cyber-attack, war, or terrorist attack, we may be unable to continue our operations and may endure reputational harm, delays in developing our platform and solutions breaches of data security and loss of critical data, all of which could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Additionally, we rely on our network and third party infrastructure and applications, internal technology systems, and our websites for our development, marketing, operational support, hosted services, and sales activities. If these systems were to fail or be negatively impacted as a result of a natural disaster or other event, our ability to deliver solutions to our customers would be impaired.
As we grow our business, the need for business continuity planning and disaster recovery plans will grow in significance. If we are unable to develop adequate plans to ensure that our business functions continue to operate during and after a disaster, and successfully execute on those plans in the event of a disaster or emergency, our business and reputation would be harmed.
Adverse economic conditions could negatively impact our business.
Our results of operations may vary based on the impact of changes in our industry or the global economy on us or our customers. Our business depends on demand for business software applications generally and for collaboration software solutions in particular. In addition, the market adoption of our solutions and our revenue is dependent on the number of users of our solutions. To the extent that weak economic conditions reduce the number of personnel providing development or engineering services or that limit the available budgets within organizations for software solutions, demand for our solutions may be harmed. If economic conditions deteriorate, our customers and prospective customers may elect to decrease their information technology budgets, which would limit our ability to grow our business and harm our results of operations.
Risks Related to Ownership of Our Class B Common Stock and this Offering
The multiple class structure of our common stock has the effect of concentrating voting control with certain stockholders, in particular, our Chief Executive Officer and his affiliates, which will limit your ability to influence the outcome of important transactions, including a change in control.
Our Class A-1 common stock and Class A-2 common stock have ten votes per share, and our Class B common stock, which are the shares we are selling in this offering, have one vote per share. The holders of Class A-2 common stock shall also have special voting rights which become effective in the event that the total number of votes represented by all of the outstanding shares of our Class A-2 common stock would constitute less than 51% of the total voting power of all classes of our then-outstanding capital stock. In such a case, and for so long as the number of outstanding shares of Class A-2 common stock represents at least 10% of the total number of shares of all classes of our outstanding capital stock, the holders of our Class A-2 common stock will be entitled to a number of votes per share of their Class A-2 common stock as would cause the total number of votes of all outstanding shares of Class A-2 common stock to equal 51% of the total voting power of all of our then-outstanding shares of capital stock. Accordingly, in such event, the aggregate voting power of all outstanding shares of Class A-1 common stock and Class B common stock would be proportionately reduced. The Class A-2 common stock, 87% of which is held by our founders, certain of whom are executive officers and directors of the company, will represent approximately        % of the voting power of our outstanding capital stock following this offering.
After the completion of this offering, the holders of our Class A-2 common stock will collectively continue to control a majority of the combined voting power of our share capital and therefore be able to control substantially all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval until the fifteen year anniversary of the closing of this offering, or such other date as described in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. These holders of our Class A-2 common stock may also have interests that differ from yours and may vote in a way with which you disagree and which may be adverse to your interests. This concentrated control may have the effect of delaying, preventing, or deterring a change in control of our company, could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares as part of a sale of our company and might ultimately affect the market price of our Class B common stock.


39


Table of Contents

Future transfers by holders of our Class A-1 common stock or Class A-2 common stock will generally result in those shares converting into our Class B common stock, subject to limited exceptions, such as certain transfers effected for estate planning purposes. The conversion of our Class A-1 common stock and Class A-2 common stock into our Class B common stock will have the effect, over time, of increasing the relative voting power of those holders of Class A-1 common stock and Class A-2 common stock who retain their shares in the long term.
We have also granted our founders, Ryan Smith, our Chief Executive Officer and member of our board of directors, and Jared Smith, our President and member of our board of directors, RSUs for an aggregate of 22.5 million shares of our Class B common stock pursuant to the Founder Grants, which will vest and settle upon the future satisfaction of service conditions and the achievement of certain stock price goals following the completion of this offering. See “Executive Compensation—Founder Restricted Stock Unit Grants” for additional information regarding the Founder Grants. If all, or a large portion, of the Founder Grants should vest and settle, our founders will significantly influence any separate vote of our Class B common stock. Although the terms of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will only provide for a separate vote of the holders of our Class B common stock on limited matters, under Delaware law, certain actions may require the approval of the holders of the Class B common stock voting as a separate class. For example, if we amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to adversely affect our Class B common stock, Delaware law could require approval of the holders of our Class B common stock voting separately as a single class. For any vote of the Class B common stock voting as a separate class, our founders will significantly influence such vote if all, or a large portion, of the Founder Grants should vest and settle, and until the number of outstanding shares of Class B common stock significantly increases. To the extent that the Founder Grants vest and settle, our founders will have the ability to gain liquidity by selling shares of our Class B common stock without reducing their voting power by converting their Class A-2 common stock.
In addition, in July 2017, FTSE Russell and Standard & Poor’s announced that they would cease to allow most newly public companies utilizing dual or multi-class capital structures to be included in their indices. Affected indices include the Russell 2000 and the S&P 500, S&P MidCap 400, and S&P SmallCap 600, which together make up the S&P Composite 1500. Under the announced policies, our multi-class capital structure would make us ineligible for inclusion in any of these indices, and as a result, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, and other investment vehicles that attempt to passively track these indices will not be investing in our stock. These policies are relatively new and it is as of yet unclear what effect, if any, they will have on the valuations of publicly traded companies excluded from the indices, but it is possible that they may depress these valuations compared to those of other similar companies that are included.
An active trading market for our Class B common stock may never develop or be sustained.
We have applied to list our Class B common stock on Nasdaq, under the symbol “XM.” However, there has been no prior public trading market for our Class B common stock. We cannot assure you that an active trading market for our Class B common stock will develop on that exchange or elsewhere or, if developed, that any market will be sustained. Accordingly, we cannot assure you of the likelihood that an active trading market for our Class B common stock will develop or be maintained, the liquidity of any trading market, your ability to sell your shares of our Class B common stock when desired, or the prices that you may obtain for your shares.
We are an “emerging growth company” and the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies may make our Class B common stock less attractive to investors.
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth 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 financial disclosure obligations, 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 any golden parachute payments not previously approved. However, we have irrevocably elected not to avail ourselves of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards and therefore, we will be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.
We may take advantage of these provisions until we are no longer an “emerging growth company.” We would


40


Table of Contents

cease to be an “emerging growth company” upon the earliest to occur of: (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have more than $1.07 billion in annual revenue; (ii) the date we qualify as a large accelerated filer, with at least $700 million of equity securities held by non-affiliates; (iii) the issuance, in any three-year period, by us of more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities; and (iv) the last day of the fiscal year ending after the fifth anniversary of this offering. We may choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced reporting requirements. If we take advantage of any of these reduced reporting requirements in future filings, the information that we provide our security holders may be different than the information you might get from other public companies in which you hold equity interests. We cannot predict if investors will find our Class B common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions.
The market price of our Class B common stock may be volatile or may decline regardless of our operating performance, and you may not be able to resell your shares at or above the initial public offering price.
The trading price of our Class B common stock is likely to be volatile and could fluctuate widely regardless of our operating performance. The market price of our Class B common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:
actual or anticipated fluctuations in our results of operations;
the financial projections we may provide to the public, any changes in these projections, or our failure to meet these projections;
failure of securities analysts to initiate or maintain coverage of our company, changes in financial estimates or ratings changes by any securities analysts who follow our company, or our failure to meet these estimates or the expectations of investors;
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 our industry in particular;
price and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market from time to time, including as a result of trends in the economy as a whole;
changes in accounting standards, policies, guidelines, interpretations, or principles;
actual or anticipated developments in our business or our competitors’ businesses or the competitive landscape generally;
announced or completed acquisitions of businesses or technologies by us or our competitor;
developments or disputes concerning our intellectual property or our solutions, or third party proprietary rights;
new laws or regulations, new interpretations of existing laws, or the new application of existing regulations to our business;
any major change in our board of directors or management;
additional Class B common stock being sold into the market by us or our existing stockholders or the anticipation of such sales;
changes in operating performance and stock market valuations of technology companies in our industry;
lawsuits threatened or filed against us; and
other events or factors, including those resulting from war, incidents of terrorism, or responses to these events.
In addition, the stock markets, and in particular the market on which our Class B common stock will be listed,


41


Table of Contents

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 operating our business, and harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they downgrade our common stock, the price of our Class B common stock could decline.
The trading market for our Class B common stock depends, in part, on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. We do not have any control over these analysts. If one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our stock or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price would likely decline. In addition, if our results of operations fail to meet the forecast of analysts, our stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our Class B common stock could decrease, which might cause our stock price and 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 to satisfy tax withholding and remittance obligations related to the settlement of certain outstanding RSUs in connection with the completion of this offering, and for working capital and other general corporate purposes. We may also use a portion of the net proceeds to acquire complementary businesses, products, or technologies. However, we do not have any agreements or commitments for any acquisitions at this time. Our management will have 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 effectively. The net proceeds may be invested with a view towards long-term benefits for our stockholders and this may not increase our operating results or market value. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively may adversely affect the return on your investment. See the section titled “Use of Proceeds” for additional information.
Purchasers in this offering will immediately experience substantial dilution in net tangible book value.
We anticipate the initial public offering price of our Class B common stock will be substantially higher than the pro forma net tangible book value per share of our Class B common stock immediately following this offering. Therefore, if you purchase shares of our Class B common stock in this offering, you will experience immediate dilution of $        per share, based on the initial public offering price of $ per share, the difference between the price per share you pay for our Class B common stock and the pro forma net tangible book value per share as of June 30, 2018, after giving effect to the issuance of shares of our Class B common stock in this offering. See the section titled “Dilution” for additional information.
Substantial future sales of our Class B common stock could cause the market price of our Class B common stock to decline.
The market price of our Class B common stock could decline as a result of substantial sales of our Class B common stock, particularly sales by our directors, executive officers, and significant stockholders, a large number of our Class B 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 163,272,517 shares outstanding of Class A-1 common stock, 202,791,238 shares outstanding of Class A-2 common stock and           shares outstanding of Class B common stock, based on the number of shares outstanding as of June 30, 2018. This includes the Class B common stock offered in this offering, which may be resold in the public market immediately. The remaining shares of our capital stock are currently restricted as a result of market stand-off agreements restricting their sale for a period of up to 180 days after the date of this prospectus, subject to certain exceptions. In addition, certain of these shares are subject to lock-up agreements with the underwriters, and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, as a representative of the underwriters, may, in its sole discretion, permit our officers, directors, employees, and current securityholders who are subject to lock-up agreements to sell shares prior to the expiration of the lock-up agreements.

Table of Contents

Additionally, the shares subject to outstanding options and RSU awards (including the Founder Grants) under our equity incentive plans and, to the extent such shares are issued, the shares reserved for future issuance under our equity incentive plans will become eligible for sale in the public market in the future, subject to certain legal and contractual limitations. See the section titled “Shares Eligible for Future Sale” for a more detailed description of sales that may occur in the future.
Upon completion of this offering, stockholders owning an aggregate of 163,272,517 shares of Class A-1 common stock and 202,791,238 shares of Class A-2 common stock, will be entitled, under contracts providing for registration rights, to require us to register their shares for public sale in the United States. We also intend to register Class B common stock that we may issue under our employee equity incentive plans and ESPP. Once we register these shares, they will be able to be sold freely in the public market upon issuance, subject to certain market stand-off or lock-up agreements.
Sales of our Class B common stock as these restrictions end or pursuant to registration rights may make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate. These sales also could cause the market price of our Class B common stock to fall and make it more difficult for you to sell our Class B common stock.
We will incur increased costs and demands upon management as a result of complying with the laws and regulations affecting public companies, particularly after we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
As a public company, and particularly after we cease to be an “emerging growth company,” we will incur greater legal, accounting, and other expenses than we incurred as a private company. We are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, or the Dodd-Frank Act, and the rules and regulations of Nasdaq. These requirements have increased and will continue to increase our legal, accounting, and financial compliance costs and have made, and will continue to make, some activities more time-consuming and costly. For example, we expect these rules and regulations to make it more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to maintain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our board of directors or as our executive officers. After we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” we expect to incur significant expenses and devote substantial management effort toward ensuring compliance with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. In that regard, we will need to hire additional accounting and financial staff with appropriate public company experience and technical accounting knowledge.
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 board of directors, and limit the market price of our Class B common stock.
Provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws to be effective in connection with the closing of this offering may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control or changes in our management. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws will include provisions that:
authorize our board of directors to issue, without further action by the stockholders, shares of undesignated preferred stock with terms, rights, and preferences determined by our board of directors that may be senior to our common stock;
require that any action to be taken by our stockholders be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting and not by written consent if such action occurs after the first date that the total aggregate number of votes represented by all then-issued and outstanding shares of Class A-2 common stock constitute less than 51% of the total aggregate number of votes represented by all then-issued and outstanding shares of our capital stock, or the Written Consent Threshold Date;
until the Written Consent Threshold Date, allow our stockholders to be able to act by written consent if the


43


Table of Contents

action is first recommended or approved by our board of directors;
specify that special meetings of our stockholders can be called only by our board of directors, the chairperson of our board of directors, our chief executive officer or our president (in the absence of our chief executive officer);
provide for a tri-class common stock structure in which holders of our Class A-1 and Class A-2 common stock have the ability to control the outcome of certain matters requiring stockholder approval, even if they own significantly less than a majority of the aggregate outstanding shares of our Class A-1, Class A-2, and Class B common stock, including the election of directors and significant corporate transactions, such as a merger or other sale of our company or its assets;
establish an advance notice procedure for stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting, including proposed nominations of persons for election to our board of directors;
establish that our board of directors is divided into three classes, with each class serving three-year staggered terms;
prohibit cumulative voting in the election of directors;
provide that vacancies on our board of directors may be filled only by a majority of directors then in office, even though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director; and
require the approval of our board of directors or the holders of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 23%) of the voting power of our outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class, to amend our amended and restated bylaws and certain provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation.
As a Delaware corporation, we are also subject to provisions of Delaware law, including Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or the DGCL, which imposes certain restrictions on mergers, business combinations, and other transactions between us and holders of 15% or more of our outstanding common stock. Any provision of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, amended and restated bylaws or Delaware law that has the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change in control or changes in our management could limit the opportunity for our stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of our common stock and could also affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for our Class B common stock.
Our amended and restated bylaws to be effective in connection with the closing of this offering will designate a state or federal court located within the State of Delaware as the exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, or other employees.
Our amended and restated bylaws to be effective in connection with the closing of this offering will provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers, or other employees or our stockholders to us or our stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provisions of the DGCL, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or our amended and restated bylaws or as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine shall be a state or federal court located within the state of Delaware, in all cases subject to the court’s having jurisdiction over indispensable parties named as defendants. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our capital stock shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to this provision. This provision would not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Exchange Act.
This choice of forum provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers, or other employees, which may discourage such lawsuits. Alternatively, if a court were to find the choice of forum provision in our amended and restated bylaws to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions,

which could harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
We do not expect to declare dividends in the foreseeable future.
We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development, operation, and expansion of our business, and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Any return to stockholders will therefore be limited to the increase, if any, of our share price, which may never occur.

Our principal asset is our interest in Qualtrics, LLC, and we are, and expect to continue to be, dependent upon the results of operations and cash flows of Qualtrics, LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries and distributions we receive from Qualtrics, LLC.
Qualtrics International Inc. is, and we expect to continue to be, a holding company with no material assets other than our ownership of the capital stock of Qualtrics, LLC, which we control directly. As such, Qualtrics International Inc. will have no independent means of generating revenue or cash flow, and our ability to pay our taxes and operating expenses or declare and pay dividends in the future, if any, will be dependent upon the results of operations and cash flows of Qualtrics, LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries and distributions we receive from Qualtrics, LLC. There can be no assurance that our direct and indirect subsidiaries will generate sufficient cash flow to distribute funds to us or that applicable state law and contractual restrictions, including negative covenants in any future debt instruments, will permit such distributions. In addition, in the event that the board of directors and stockholders of Qualtrics International Inc. were to approve a sale of all of our direct and indirect interests in Qualtrics, LLC, your equity interest would be in a holding company with no material assets other than those assets and other consideration received in such transaction.

USE OF PROCEEDS
We estimate that the net proceeds to us from the sale of shares of our Class B common stock in this offering will be approximately $           , based upon the assumed initial public offering price of $          per share, which is the midpoint of the estimated offering price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. If the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full, we estimate that the net proceeds to us would be approximately $           , after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.
Each $1.00 increase or decrease in the assumed initial public offering price of $           per share would increase or decrease, as applicable, the net proceeds that we receive from this offering by approximately $           , assuming that the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. Similarly, each increase or decrease of 1.0 million in the number of shares offered by us would increase or decrease, as applicable, the net proceeds that we receive from this offering by approximately $           , assuming an initial public offering price of $          per share, which is the midpoint of the estimated offering price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.
The principal purposes of this offering are to increase our capitalization and financial flexibility, create a public market for our Class B common stock, and enable access to the public equity markets for us and our stockholders.
We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to satisfy tax withholding and remittance obligations of up to $           million related to the settlement of certain outstanding RSUs in connection with the effectiveness of this offering. This amount is based upon the assumed initial public offering price of $          per share, which is the midpoint of the estimated offering price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. We also intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for working capital or other general corporate purposes, including funding our growth strategies discussed in this prospectus. These uses and growth strategies include investing in research and development, enhancing our XM Platform and solutions, hiring additional personnel in our engineering, customer support and sales and marketing teams, investing in marketing and partnership programs, growing our international operations, and upgrading our infrastructure; however, we do not currently have any definitive or preliminary plans with respect to the use of proceeds for such purposes.
We may also use a portion of the net proceeds to acquire or make investments in businesses, products, services, or technologies. However, we do not have agreements or commitments for any acquisitions at this time.
We cannot specify with certainty the particular uses of the net proceeds that we will receive from this offering. Accordingly, we will have broad discretion in using these proceeds. 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

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.

DILUTION
If you invest in our Class B common stock in this offering, your ownership interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the initial public offering price per share of our Class B common stock and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our Class B common stock immediately after this offering. Net tangible book value dilution per share to new investors represents the difference between the amount per share paid by purchasers of shares of our Class B common stock in this offering and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our Class B common stock immediately after completion of this offering.
Net tangible book value per share is determined by dividing our total tangible assets less our total liabilities by the number of shares of our common stock outstanding. Our historical net tangible value as of June 30, 2018 was $           million, or $           per share. Our pro forma net tangible book value as of June 30, 2018 was $            million, or $        per share, based on the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2018, after giving effect to (i) the automatic conversion of all outstanding shares of our Series A-1 and Series A-2 redeemable convertible preferred stock into an aggregate of 202,791,238 shares of our Class A-2 common stock, which conversion will occur immediately prior to the completion of this offering, (ii) the automatic conversion of all outstanding shares of our Series A-3 redeemable convertible preferred stock and Series B redeemable convertible preferred stock into an aggregate of 163,272,517 shares of our Class A-1 common stock, which conversion will occur immediately prior to the completion of this offering, and (iii) the issuance of up to         shares of Class B common stock at the closing of this offering on the vesting and settlement of certain RSUs subject to a performance condition in connection with the completion of this offering.
After giving effect to the sale by us of           shares of our Class B common stock in this offering at the assumed initial public offering price of $           per share, which is the midpoint of the estimated offering price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of June 30, 2018 would have been $           , or $           per share. This represents an immediate increase in pro forma net tangible book value of $           per share to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in pro forma net tangible book value of $           per share to investors purchasing shares of our Class B common stock in this offering at the assumed initial public offering price. The following table illustrates this dilution:

Each $1.00 increase or decrease in the assumed initial public offering price of $           per share, which is the midpoint of the estimated offering price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, would increase or decrease, as applicable, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share to new investors by $           , and would increase or decrease, as applicable, dilution per share to new investors in this offering by $           , assuming that the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. Similarly, each increase or decrease of 1.0 million shares in the number of shares offered by us would increase or decrease, as applicable, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value by $           per share and increase or decrease, as applicable, the dilution to new investors by $           per share, assuming an initial public offering price of $           per share, which is the midpoint of the estimated offering price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

If the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full, the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our Class B common stock, as adjusted to give effect to this offering, would be $           per share, and the dilution in pro forma net tangible book value per share to new investors in this offering would be $           per share.
The following table presents, as of June 30, 2018, after giving effect to (i) the automatic conversion of all outstanding shares of our Series A-1 and Series A-2 redeemable convertible preferred stock into an aggregate of 202,791,238 shares of our Class A-2 common stock, which conversion will occur immediately prior to the completion of this offering, (ii) the automatic conversion of all outstanding shares of our Series A-3 redeemable convertible preferred stock and Series B redeemable convertible preferred stock into an aggregate of 163,272,517 shares of our Class A-1 common stock, which conversion will occur immediately prior to the completion of this offering, and (iii) the issuance of up to         shares of Class B common stock at the closing of this offering on the vesting and settlement of certain RSUs subject to a performance condition in connection with the completion of this offering, the differences between the existing stockholders and the new investors purchasing shares of our Class B common stock in this offering with respect to the number of shares purchased from us, the total consideration paid or to be paid to us, which includes net proceeds received from the issuance of our common stock and preferred stock, cash received from the exercise of stock options and the average price per share paid or to be paid to us at the assumed initial public offering price of $           per share, which is the midpoint of the estimated offering price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us:

Except as otherwise indicated, the above discussion and table assume no exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option. If the underwriters’ over-allotment option were exercised in full, our existing stockholders would own           % and our new investors would own           % of the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding upon completion of this offering.
The number of shares of our Class A-1 common stock, Class A-2 common stock, and Class B common stock that will be outstanding after this offering (which includes up to         shares of Class B common stock to be issued at the closing of this offering on the vesting and settlement of certain outstanding RSUs subject to a performance condition in connection with the completion of this offering) is based on 163,272,517 shares of our Class A-1 common stock, 202,791,238 shares of our Class A-2 common stock, and 10,702,359 shares of our Class B common stock (each as including preferred stock on an as-converted basis) outstanding as of June 30, 2018, and excludes:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we believe the following non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance. We use the following non-GAAP financial information to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance. However, non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. In particular, free cash flow is not a substitute for cash used in operating activities. Additionally, the utility of free cash flow as a measure of our liquidity is further limited as it

does not represent the total increase or decrease in our cash balance for a given period. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly-titled non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. A reconciliation is provided below for each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the section titled “Selected Consolidated Financial and Other Data” and the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed below. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below and those discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this prospectus.
Overview
We created the first experience management platform to manage customer, employee, brand, and product experiences.
We’ve built a thriving global business with over 9,000 customers, including over 75% of the Fortune 100 and over 30% of the 2018 Global 2000. Our revenue was $190.6 million and $289.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017, respectively, representing an annual growth rate of 52%. We generated a net loss of $12.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 and net income of $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. We have been free cash flow positive in every year since inception. We generated positive free cash flow of $3.4 million and $21.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017, respectively.
The following graphic highlights key milestones since our founding in 2002.
historydiagram6.jpg
We generate revenue by selling subscriptions to our XM Platform, sales of our Research on Demand solution, and professional services which serve the experience management needs of our diverse customer base. We typically bill for subscriptions at the beginning of the contract term and recognize revenue ratably over the term of the subscription period. Over 98% of our subscription agreements have a subscription period of one year or longer. Our largest customer accounted for less than 2% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2017. International customers can pay in U.S. dollars or a select number of foreign currencies.
We price and package our subscription software solutions based on the capacity and functionality needs of our customers. This pricing and packaging includes volume of expected responses, number of users accessing our platform, number of employees, and level of functionality provided, such as dashboards, iQ functionality, and integrations. Our customers expand their subscriptions as they increase volume of responses, add solutions, add users, and increase features within each solution.

Table of Contents

Our Research on Demand solution allows customers to gain market intelligence by procuring a curated group of respondents and returning tangible results, while conforming to best-practice design and methodology. We provide our Research on Demand solution as an automated, software-led approach, providing ease of use and efficiency for our customers. Our Research on Demand solution is sold into our existing XM Platform customers, resulting in minimal incremental sales and marketing spend, and leads to higher platform usage for customers.
Our professional services consist primarily of implementations, configurations, and integrations to help customers deploy our XM Platform. Other revenue consists of consulting and training fees.
We deploy an efficient, hybrid go-to-market model that addresses the many ways a customer may typically choose to buy. We utilize a combination of a highly productive inside sales team and a field sales team, as well as partners, to target customers.
Key Factors Affecting Our Performance
We believe that the growth and future success of our business depends on many factors. While each of these factors presents significant opportunities for our business, they also pose important challenges that we must successfully address in order to sustain our growth and improve our results of operations.
New Customer Acquisition
We are focused on continuing to acquire new customers to support our long-term growth. We have invested, and expect to continue to invest, heavily in our sales and marketing efforts to drive customer acquisition. As of September 30, 2018, we had over 9,000 customers, including over 75% of the Fortune 100 and 30% of the 2018 Global 2000. Our customers include businesses of all sizes, academic institutions, and government organizations. We define the number of customers at the end of any particular period as the number of parties or individual legal entities that have entered into a separate subscription contract with us for which the term has not ended. For avoidance of doubt, international subsidiaries of parent entities are not separately counted, but business units, brands, and academic institutions are counted if they are distinct legal entities. A single organization or customer may have multiple paid business accounts.
Expand Sales to Existing Customers
Our business model relies on rapidly and efficiently landing new customers and expanding our relationship with them over time. As the chart below illustrates, we have a history of attracting new customers, driving expanded use through upselling our XM Platform across the enterprise, and cross-selling through the subsequent deployment of additional solutions throughout the enterprise. Specifically, the chart below illustrates the total subscription billings of each cohort over the periods presented with each cohort representing customers who made their first purchase from us in a given fiscal year. For example, the 2014 cohort includes all customers that purchased their first subscription from us between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2014. Our subscription billings from customers for the 2012 cohort, 2013 cohort, 2014 cohort, 2015 cohort, and 2016 cohort in 2017 represent an increase over each cohort’s initial aggregate subscription billings by 2.6x, 1.8x, 2.1x, 1.7x, and 1.2x, respectively.
cohort04.jpg
We also use dollar-based net retention rate to measure our ability to expand business generated from our existing customers. Our net retention rate compares our subscription revenue from the same set of customers across comparable periods. We calculate our net retention rate on a trailing four-quarter basis. As of June 30, 2018, our net retention rate was 122%. We have benefited from a higher net retention rate from our customers in the 2017 Global 2000, since they


62


Table of Contents

often purchase our solutions for one use case or within one department, and then expand across their organization. As such, our net retention rate for our customers in the 2017 Global 2000 was 143% as of June 30, 2018.
We focus on a dollar-based net retention rate metric because it captures the full impact on revenue of our customers expanding, decreasing, or ending their subscriptions.  We do not focus on a numerical-based customer retention rate because it does not include expansion or contraction and it does not take into account the amount a customer spends and as such does not necessarily correlate consistently to revenue. Because the dollar-based net retention rate also includes expansion and contraction of customers, there is (and will likely continue to be for the foreseeable future) a material disparity between the dollar-based net retention rate and a numerical-based customer retention rate, which by definition cannot exceed 100%.  We note that there has not been a material change in our period-over-period actual customer retention rate and associated impact on revenue during the periods presented.       
To calculate our net retention rate, we first calculate the subscription revenue in one quarter from a cohort of customers that were customers at the beginning of the same quarter in the prior fiscal year, or cohort customers. We repeat this calculation for each quarter in the trailing four-quarter period. The numerator for net retention rate is the sum of subscription revenue from cohort customers for the four most recent quarters, or numerator period, and the denominator is the sum of subscription revenue from cohort customers for the four quarters preceding the numerator period. Net retention rate for the 2017 Global 2000 cohort follows the same calculation for our customers in the 2017 Global 2000 at the initial date of the calculation.
Investing for Growth
Our investment for growth encompasses multiple critical areas, including international growth, enterprise sales, partner network, and product expansion.
Our international revenue represented 19%, 21%, and 22% of our total revenue in the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017 and the six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. We started our international expansion in English-speaking countries, such as Ireland, the United Kingdom, and Australia, as we were able to leverage our core technologies. We historically sold into international markets out of our Provo, Utah headquarters. Since opening our first international office in Dublin, Ireland in 2013, we now have sales offices in nine countries around the globe. These include Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Japan, Singapore, and the United Kingdom, along with the United States. See Note 2 to our accompanying financial statements for further information regarding revenue by geographic areas.
In order to expand and further penetrate our enterprise customer base, we have made and plan to continue to make significant investments in expanding our direct sales teams and enterprise grade delivery capability, as well as increasing our brand awareness. We have also added sales support capability, such as subject matter experts and solution architects to help provide turnkey program delivery.
At our March 2018 X4 Summit, we announced the launch of the Qualtrics Partner Network, or QPN. We are building out a network of content and consulting partners, delivery partners, and technology partners who enrich our offerings, scale our coverage, and help us to reach a broader audience than we would be able to on our own. We expect our partner channel to extend our sales reach and provide implementation leverage both domestically and internationally.
We continue to enable our technology to draw insights and ensure that we are best serving our customers’ needs. We believe this will lead to increased retention and positive customer referrals that will continue to generate new business both within organizations and with new customers. Since 2015, we have established offices in Seattle and Poland to expand our engineering headcount focused on product innovation and development.
Key Business Metrics
We review a number of operating and financial metrics, including the following key metrics to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans, and make strategic decisions.
Large Customers
We define our large customers as those spending more than $100,000 in subscription annual contract value, or Subscription ACV, on our XM Platform. We believe that our ability to increase the number of large customers is an indicator of our market penetration, the growth of our business, and our potential future business opportunities. Increasing awareness of our platform and its broad range of capabilities, coupled with the mainstream adoption of cloud-based technology, has expanded the diversity of our large customer base to include organizations of different sizes across virtually all industries. This cohort represented approximately 52% of our subscription revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Calculated Billings
We use calculated billings to measure and monitor our ability to provide our business with the working capital generated by upfront payments from our customers and our ability to sell subscriptions to our XM Platform to both existing and new customers. Calculated billings represent our total revenue plus the change in deferred revenue in the period, as presented in our consolidated financial statements. Calculated billings in any particular period aims to reflect amounts invoiced for subscriptions to access our XM Platform, Research on Demand, and professional services related to our new and existing customers. We primarily invoice our subscription customers annually in advance. While we believe that calculated billings provides valuable insight into the cash that will be generated from sales of our subscriptions, Research on Demand, and professional services, this metric may vary from period-to-period for a number of reasons, and therefore has a number of limitations as a quarter-to-quarter or year-over-year comparative measure. These reasons include, but are not limited to, (i) a variety of customer contractual terms could result in some periods having a higher proportion of multi-year time-based subscriptions than other periods, (ii) as we experience an increasing number of larger sales transactions, the timing of executing these larger transactions has and will continue to vary, with some transactions occurring in quarters subsequent to or in advance of those that we anticipated, (iii) fluctuations in payment terms affecting the billings recognized in a particular period, and (iv) seasonality in our billings, as described in quarterly trends. Because of these and other limitations, you should consider calculated billings along with revenue and our other GAAP financial results.

Components of Our Results of Operations
Revenue
We generate revenue from sales of subscriptions to our XM Platform and sales of Research on Demand, together with related professional services. Sales of XM Platform subscriptions and Research on Demand together accounted for 95% and 91% of revenue for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017, respectively, and 92% and 92% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018, respectively.
Subscription revenue is recognized ratably over the related contractual term generally beginning on the date that our XM Platform is made available to our customer. Our subscription agreements generally have annual contractual terms, while some have multi-year contractual terms. Our agreements generally cannot be canceled with refund. We primarily bill in advance for our annual contracts and in advance annually for our multi-year contracts. Amounts that have been billed are initially recorded as deferred revenue until the revenue is recognized. Subscription revenue as a percentage of total revenue may fluctuate period to period.
Research on Demand revenue is recognized upon completion of the project. Our agreements generally cannot be canceled with refund. We typically bill in advance for Research on Demand projects, with a growing number of customers purchasing annual retainers to fund future projects. Amounts that have been billed are initially recorded as deferred revenue until the revenue is recognized. Research on Demand revenue as a percentage of total revenue may fluctuate period to period.

Table of Contents

Professional services and other revenue includes fees associated with new and expanding customers requesting implementation and integration services. We price professional services on a fixed fee basis. Our agreements generally cannot be canceled with refund. We typically bill in advance for professional services and other revenue. Amounts that have been billed are initially recorded as deferred revenue until the revenue is recognized. As we continue to increase deployment of partners to fulfill these services, we generally expect professional services and other revenue to decrease as a percentage of total revenue in the long term, although this percentage may fluctuate from period to period.
Cost of revenue and gross margin
Cost of revenue. Our cost of subscription revenue includes expenses related to operating our XM Platform in data centers, depreciation of our data center equipment, and the amortization of our capitalized internal-use software and acquired technology. Cost of revenue also includes employee-related costs associated with our customer support and XM Platform operations organizations. Our cost of Research on Demand revenue includes vendor costs and employee-related costs associated with the delivery of the solution. Our cost of professional services and other revenue includes employee-related costs associated with the delivery of these services, as well as delivery partner costs. Additionally, we make allocations of certain overhead costs, primarily based on headcount, to each of these costs of revenue. Allocated overhead includes costs such as facilities, including rent, utilities, depreciation on leasehold improvements, and shared information technology costs. We expect our cost of revenue will increase in absolute dollars in future periods as we continue to invest in our business.
Gross margin. Gross margin is gross profit expressed as a percentage of revenue. Our gross margin may fluctuate from period to period based on the timing of capital expenditures and the related depreciation expense, or other changes in stock-based compensation, employee-related costs, infrastructure costs, revenue mix, timing of completion of Research on Demand and professional services projects, as well as revenue fluctuations. As we continue to increase the utilization of our internal infrastructure, we generally expect our gross margin to remain relatively consistent in the near term and to increase modestly in the long term, although our gross margin may fluctuate from period to period depending on the interplay of all of these factors.
Operating expenses
Research and development. Our research and development expenses consist primarily of employee-related costs for our engineering, product, and design teams, and allocated overhead.
We plan to continue to hire employees for our engineering, product, and design teams to support our efforts to enhance the functionality and improve the reliability, availability, and scalability of our XM Platform. We expect that research and development costs will increase in absolute dollars in future periods. However, we expect our research and development expenses to decrease as a percentage of our revenue over the long term, although our research and development expenses may fluctuate as a percentage of our revenue from period to period due to the timing and extent of these expenses.
Sales and marketing. Our sales and marketing expenses relate to both inside and outbound sales activities, as well as expansion efforts with our current customers. The expenses consist primarily of employee-related costs, marketing programs and events, including our X4 Summit, lead generation fees, and allocated overhead. Sales commissions earned by our sales team and the related payroll taxes, that we consider to be incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract with an organization, are deferred and amortized over an estimated period of benefit of five years.
We plan to continue to invest in sales and marketing to grow our customer base and increase our brand awareness. The trend and timing of sales and marketing expenses will depend in part on the timing of marketing campaigns. We expect that sales and marketing expenses will increase in absolute dollars in future periods. However, we expect our sales and marketing expenses to decrease as a percentage of our revenue over the long term, although our sales and marketing expenses may fluctuate as a percentage of our revenue from period to period due to the timing and extent of these expenses.
General and administrative. Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee-related costs for our legal, finance, people operations, and other administrative teams, as well as certain executives. In addition,


65


Table of Contents

general and administrative expenses include allocated overhead, outside legal, accounting and other professional fees, and non-income based taxes.
We expect to incur additional general and administrative expenses to support our growth as well as our transition to being a publicly traded company. We expect that general and administrative expenses will increase in absolute dollars in future periods. Our general and administrative expenses may fluctuate as a percentage of our revenue from period to period due to the timing and extent of these expenses.
As a result of certain stock-based compensation charges described in “—Critical Accounting Policies and Judgments—Stock-based compensation,” we expect our research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses to increase significantly in absolute dollars and as a percentage of revenue in the quarter during which we complete this offering.
Other income (expense), net
Other income (expense), net consists of other non-operating gains or losses, including those related to interest income and foreign currency transaction gains and losses.
Provision for income taxes
On December 22, 2017, the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, or Tax Act, was enacted into law and the new legislation contains several key tax provisions that affect us, including the reduction of the corporate income tax rate to 21%, effective January 1, 2018. We are required to recognize the effect of the tax law changes in the period of enactment. As such, we have remeasured our consolidated deferred tax assets and liabilities to reflect the lower rate and have also reassessed the net realizability of those deferred tax assets and liabilities.
In December 2017, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, Income Tax Accounting Implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, or SAB 118, which allows us to record provisional amounts during a measurement period not to extend beyond one year of the enactment date. Since the Tax Act was passed late in the fourth quarter of 2017, and ongoing guidance and accounting interpretation are expected throughout calendar year 2018, we consider the accounting of the deferred tax remeasurements and state tax conformity to be incomplete but have made a reasonable estimate and have included provisional amounts in the financial statements. Due to the forthcoming guidance and our ongoing analysis of final year-end data and tax positions, we expect to complete our analysis within the measurement period provided for and in accordance with SAB 118.
Deferred income tax balances reflect the effects of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of our assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply when taxes are actually paid or recovered. In addition, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for net operating loss and credit carryforwards.
A valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that they will be realized based on all available positive and negative evidence. Such evidence includes, but is not limited to, recent cumulative earnings or losses, expectations of future taxable income by taxing jurisdiction, and the carry-forward periods available for the utilization of deferred tax assets.
We use a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain income tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount, which is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. We recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. Significant judgment is required to evaluate uncertain tax positions.
Although we believe that we have adequately reserved for our uncertain tax positions, we can provide no assurance that the final tax outcome of these matters will not be materially different. We evaluate our uncertain tax positions on a regular basis and evaluations are based on a number of factors, including changes in facts and circumstances, changes in tax law, such as the Tax Act, correspondence with tax authorities during the course of an audit, and effective settlement of audit issues.

To the extent that the final tax outcome of these matters is different than the amounts recorded, such differences will affect the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made and could have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
As of December 31, 2017, we had approximately $39.0 million of consolidated federal NOL carryforwards and $41.7 million of state NOL carryforwards available to offset future taxable income. If unused, the federal and state NOL carryforwards will begin to expire in 2035 and 2025, respectively. As of December 31, 2017, we had federal research tax credit carryforwards of $4.2 million and state research tax credit carryforwards of $0.7 million, which if not utilized will begin to expire in 2034 and 2029, respectively. These NOL and research tax credit carryforwards could expire unused and be unavailable to reduce future income tax liabilities, which could adversely affect our profitability. Realization of our NOL carryforwards and tax credits is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income prior to their expiration. Although a portion of these carryforwards and tax credits may be subject to the provisions of Internal Revenue Code Sections 382 and 383, we have not performed a formal study to determine the amount of a limitation, if any. The use of the NOL carryforwards and tax credits may have additional limitations resulting from future ownership changes or other factors under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Subscription and Research on Demand revenue increased $49.0 million, or 41%, for the six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017. This increase was primarily due to increased demand for our solutions from new and existing customers. Of the increase in subscription and Research on Demand revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the same period of 2017, approximately $18.3 million was attributable to existing customers and approximately $30.7 million was attributable to new customers. The increase in revenue from existing customers was driven by upgrades of current subscription and Research on Demand solutions and the purchase of additional solutions within our platform. Pricing changes were not material to the increase in revenue. Professional services and other revenue increased $3.7 million, or 34%, during the six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017. This increase was primarily due to an increase in revenue from large customers, who generally require more services. Professional services and other revenue did not increase at the same rate as subscription and Research on Demand revenue due to an increased deployment of partners to fulfill these services.

Subscription and Research on Demand revenue increased by $84.4 million, or 47%, for the year ended December 31, 2017 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2016. This increase was due primarily to increased demand for our solutions from new and existing customers. Of the increase in subscription and Research on Demand revenue for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to the year ended December 31, 2016, approximately $59.8 million was attributable to existing customers and approximately $24.6 million was attributable to new customers. The increase in revenue from existing customers was driven by upgrades of current subscription and Research on Demand solutions and the purchase of additional solutions within our platform. Pricing changes were not material to the increase in revenue. Professional services and other revenue increased $14.9 million, or 150%, from the year ended December 31, 2016 to the year ended December 31, 2017. This increase was primarily due to beginning to sell implementation and consulting services in the second half of year ended December 31, 2016, as well as an increase in revenue from large customers, who generally require more services.

costs, a $3.7 million increase in server costs, partially offset by a $5.1 million decrease in employee-related costs. Costs did not increase at the same rate as revenue primarily due to a more efficient customer support model and improved pricing with Research on Demand vendors. We realized customer support efficiencies through platform enhancements and added online support resources, which allowed us to transition certain employees from support activities to account expansion activities. Cost of professional services and other revenue increased $15.1 million, or 129%, for the year ended December 31, 2017, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2016. This increase was primarily due to an $11.3 million increase in employee-related costs as we grew our professional services and implementation teams, and a $1.8 million increase in partnership costs related to delivery partners.
Our gross margins increased from 68% in 2016 to 73% in 2017 due to costs increasing at a slower rate than our revenue, as described above.

Other non-operating income (expense), net
Other non-operating income (expense), net increased $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2016, primarily due to an increase in foreign currency gains of $1.6 million related to monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.
Provision for income taxes
Provision for income taxes increased $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2016, due to our growth internationally.
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, or the Tax Act, was enacted. The Tax Act contains several key tax provisions that affect us, including, but not limited to, reducing the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 34% to 21% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, imposing a one-time repatriation tax on deemed repatriated earnings and changing rules related to uses and limitations of net operating loss carryforwards created in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. We have not completed our accounting assessment for the effects of the Tax Act. We currently maintain a full valuation allowance recorded against our U.S. federal deferred tax assets. As such, the remeasurement of the deferred tax assets and related valuation allowance did not have a material impact to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, other than disclosures in our financial statements.
The increase in our effective tax rate to 42.7% for the year ended December 31, 2017, as compared to negative 9.3% for the year ended December 31, 2016, was primarily driven by differences in the U.S. statutory tax rate and our effective tax rate for the respective years, as described below.
Our effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2017 was 42.7%. The difference between the U.S. statutory rate of 34% and our effective tax rate is primarily driven by rate increases due to federal tax legislation (147.8%), equity compensation (34.9%), and foreign and state taxes (28.4%). These increases to our effective tax rate are partially offset by rate decreases due to changes in the valuation allowance (125%) and tax credits (78.4%). The effective tax rate increase related to federal tax legislation and decrease related to changes in the valuation allowance are due to the Tax Act, which resulted in a remeasurement of our deferred tax assets and related valuation allowance based on a reduction in the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 34% to 21%. The effective tax rate increase related to equity compensation is due to non-deductible compensation expense for tax purposes resulting from a tender offer for employee equity awards. The changes resulting from the federal tax legislation and employee tender offer are not expected to recur.
Our effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2016 was negative 9.3%. The difference between the U.S. statutory rate of 34% and our effective tax rate is primarily driven by rate adjustments due to changes in the valuation allowance (49.5%), which was partially offset by a rate adjustment due to tax credits (7.6%). Our valuation allowance increased to offset increases in our deferred tax assets primarily driven by additional net operating loss carryforwards.
We currently anticipate that our effective tax rate, before discrete adjustments that may occur, for 2018 to be approximately 37%.

Quarterly Results of Operations
The following table sets forth our unaudited quarterly statements of operations data for each of the last eight quarters ended June 30, 2018. The information for each of these quarters has been prepared on the same basis as the audited annual financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus and, in the opinion of management, includes all adjustments, which includes only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the results of operations for these periods. This data should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus. These quarterly results of operations are not necessarily indicative of our future results of operations that may be expected for any future period.

Quarterly Revenue Trends
Our revenue increased sequentially in each of the quarters presented primarily due to increases in the number of customers and expansion with existing customers. We generally experience seasonality in billings with our customers, and we typically record a higher percentage of billings in our fourth quarter. However, because we recognize subscription revenue ratably over the terms of our subscription agreements, a substantial portion of the subscription revenue that we report in each period is attributable to the recognition of deferred revenue relating to agreements that we entered into during previous periods. Consequently, increases or decreases in new or renewal billings in any one period may not be immediately reflected as subscription revenue for that period. Beginning in 2017, our professional services and other revenue increased as a percentage of revenue primarily due to an increase in revenue from large customers, who generally require more services. For the three months ended June 30, 2018, professional services and other revenue decreased as a percentage of total revenue due to an increased deployment of partners to fulfill these services.
Quarterly cost of revenue and gross margin trends
Beginning in 2017, our quarterly subscription cost of revenue decreased to 9% of revenue compared to 14% for the three months ended December 31, 2016. The decrease is primarily due to a more efficient customer support model. We realized this efficiency through platform enhancements and added online support resources, which allowed us to transition certain employees from support activities to account expansion activities. Beginning in 2017, our Research


77


Table of Contents

on Demand cost of revenue has decreased as a percentage of revenue primarily due to improved pricing from key vendors. From the three months ended September 30, 2016 through the three months ended March 31, 2018, our professional services and other cost of revenue have gradually increased as a percentage of revenue primarily due to an increase in revenue from large customers, who generally require more services. We generally expect our gross margin to remain relatively constant in the near term and to increase modestly in the long term, although our gross margin may fluctuate from period to period depending on the interplay of all of these factors.
Quarterly operating expense trends
Sales and marketing expenses were 54% and 53% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively, which was higher than all other quarters. The increased percentage of sales and marketing expenses relative to revenue in the first fiscal quarter of each fiscal year is primarily due to our X4 Summit that we host annually during the first quarter. In addition, operating expenses increased during the second fiscal quarter of 2017 due to recognizing $5.8 million of stock-based compensation related to a modification of equity awards in conjunction with an approved tender offer executed by our investors.
Our overall total quarterly operating expenses increased sequentially in the quarters presented primarily due to headcount growth in connection with the expansion of our business.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2018, we had cash and cash equivalents of $135.6 million. Our cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash and money market funds. As of June 30, 2018, we had $7.5 million of our cash and cash equivalents held by our foreign subsidiaries. We do not expect to incur material taxes in the event we repatriate any of these amounts.
Since our inception, we have financed our operations primarily through cash generated from our operations and equity issuances. Our principal uses of cash in recent periods have been funding our operations and making capital expenditures.
We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents, together with cash provided by operations, will be sufficient to meet our needs for at least the next 12 months. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our revenue growth rate, subscription renewal activity, the timing and extent of spending to support further infrastructure development and research and development efforts, the timing and extent of additional capital expenditures to invest in existing and new office spaces, the satisfaction of tax withholding obligations for the release of RSUs the expansion of sales and marketing and international operation activities, the introduction of new product capabilities and enhancement of our XM Platform, and the continuing market acceptance of our platform. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could use our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect. We may in the future enter into arrangements to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, services, and technologies, including intellectual property rights. We may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, 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, results of operations, and financial condition would be materially and adversely affected.

Operating activities
Our largest source of operating cash is cash collections from our paying customers for subscriptions to our XM Platform. Our primary uses of cash from operating activities are for employee-related costs, infrastructure-related expenditures, and marketing expenses. Net cash provided by operating activities is impacted by our net income (loss) adjusted for certain non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization expenses and stock-based compensation, as well as the effect of changes in operating assets and liabilities.
Net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $39.3 million, which resulted from net loss of $3.4 million, adjusted for non-cash charges of $14.8 million and net cash inflow of $27.9 million from changes in operating assets and liabilities. Non-cash charges primarily consisted of $7.0 million for depreciation and amortization expense, $6.2 million for amortization of deferred contract acquisition costs and $2.0 million for stock-based compensation expense. The net cash inflow from changes in operating assets and liabilities was primarily the result of a $34.2 million increase in deferred revenue due to advance invoicing in accordance with our subscription contracts.
Net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $26.5 million, which resulted from net loss of $3.7 million, adjusted for non-cash charges of $16.0 million and net cash inflow of $14.2 million from changes in operating assets and liabilities. Non-cash charges primarily consisted of $5.0 million for depreciation and amortization expense, $4.4 million for amortization of deferred contract acquisition costs and $6.1 million for stock-based compensation expense. The net cash inflow from changes in operating assets and liabilities was primarily the result of a $24.3 million increase in deferred revenue due to advance invoicing in accordance with our subscription contracts.
For the year ended December 31, 2017, net cash provided by operating activities was $39.6 million, which resulted from net income of $2.6 million, adjusted for non-cash charges of $27.9 million and net cash inflow of $9.2 million from changes in operating assets and liabilities. Non-cash charges primarily consisted of $10.8 million for depreciation and amortization expense, $9.6 million of amortization of deferred contract acquisition costs and $6.9 million for stock-based compensation expense. The inflow from operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to an increase of $51.8 million in deferred revenue from advance invoicing in accordance with our subscription contracts, $6.6 million aggregate increase in accrued liabilities and accounts payable, partially offset by $21.2 million increase in accounts receivable due to billings growth and timing of collections, $19.7 million increase in deferred contract acquisition costs as our sales commission payments increased due to addition of new customers and expansion of our existing customer subscriptions, and $6.7 million increase in prepaid and other current assets.
For the year ended December 31, 2016, net cash provided by operating activities was $17.8 million, which resulted from net loss of $12.0 million, adjusted for non-cash charges of $16.2 million and net cash inflow of $13.6 million from changes in operating assets and liabilities. Non-cash charges primarily consisted of $9.0 million for depreciation and amortization expense, $6.5 million of amortization of deferred contract acquisition costs and $0.7 million for stock-based compensation expense. The inflow from operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to an increase of $47.5 million in deferred revenue from advance invoicing in accordance with our customer contracts, $6.3 million aggregate

increase in accrued liabilities and accounts payable, partially offset by $24.9 million increase in accounts receivable due to billings growth and timing of collections, $13.1 million increase in deferred contract acquisition costs as our sales commission payments increased due to addition of new customers and expansion of our existing customer subscriptions, and $3.5 million increase in prepaid and other current assets.
Investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities is primarily impacted by purchases of property and equipment, particularly for capital expenditures for our data centers, capitalized software, improvements to existing and new office spaces, and business combinations.
Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018 of $5.5 million and $16.1 million, respectively, resulted primarily from capital expenditures for our data centers and office build-outs, in addition to acquisitions of intangible assets and a business combination during the 2018 period.
Net cash used in investing activities during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 of $18.3 million and $15.3 million, respectively, resulted primarily from capital expenditures for our XM Platform and office build-outs.
Financing activities
Net cash provided by financing activities of $29.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 was due to net proceeds from the issuance of Series B-3 and B-5 redeemable convertible preferred stock, less the repurchase of Series A-1 and A-2 redeemable convertible preferred stock. There were no financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018.
Net cash provided by financing activities of $29.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2017 was due to net proceeds from the issuance of Series B-3 and B-5 redeemable convertible preferred stock, less the repurchase of Series A-1 and A-2 redeemable convertible preferred stock.
Net cash used in financing activities of $0.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2016 was primarily due to deferred financing costs.
Backlog
We generally enter into agreements with our customers with annual contractual terms, while some have multi-year contractual terms. The timing of our invoices to the customer is a negotiated term and thus varies among our customer contracts. Due to this, at any point in the contract term, there can be amounts that we have not yet invoiced per the terms of our contracts. Until such time as these amounts are invoiced, they are not recorded in revenue, deferred revenue, or elsewhere in our consolidated financial statements, and are considered by us to be backlog. The amount of contract backlog, which does not include deferred revenue, was approximately $22.3 million and $33.0 million as of December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2018, respectively.
We expect that the amount of backlog relative to the total value of our contracts will change from period to period for several reasons, including the specific timing and duration of large customer agreements, varying invoicing cycles of customer agreements, the specific timing of customer renewal, changes in customer financial circumstances, and foreign currency fluctuations. Moreover, customers may attempt to renegotiate the terms of their agreements. Changes during the term of a customer’s agreement may significantly impact the amount of backlog as of any particular date. Accordingly, we believe that fluctuations in backlog are not necessarily a reliable indicator of future revenue, and we do not utilize backlog as a key management metric internally.

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. Purchase orders issued in the ordinary course of business are not included in the table above, as our purchase orders represent authorizations to purchase rather than binding agreements. In March 2018, we entered into a lease commitment for additional office space that is yet to be constructed in Dublin, Ireland. Upon delivery of the constructed office space, we will pay approximately $1.9 million per annum to lease the space. We expect the constructed office space to be delivered in 2020. The lease agreement is for 15-years, with a termination option at our election at the end of the 8th year.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2018, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.
Critical Accounting Policies and Judgments
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet date, as well as reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Our most significant estimates and judgments involve revenue recognition with respect to the determination of the standalone selling prices for our services, valuation of our stock-based compensation, including the underlying deemed estimated fair value of our common stock, exchange of preferred stock, valuation of deferred income tax assets and liabilities, uncertain tax positions, and contingencies and litigation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. To the extent that there are differences between our estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows will be affected.
On January 1, 2017, we early adopted the requirements of Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, or Topic 606. Topic 606 establishes a principle for recognizing revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the expected consideration received in exchange for those goods or services. Topic 606 also includes Subtopic 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs-Contracts with Customers, which requires the deferral of incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. Collectively, references to Topic 606 used herein refer to both Topic 606 and Subtopic 340-40. We adopted Topic 606 with retrospective application to the beginning of the earliest period presented. The adoption of Topic 606 resulted in changes to our accounting policies for revenue recognition and deferred commissions. The primary impact of adopting Topic 606 relates to the deferral of incremental costs of obtaining customer contracts and the amortization of those costs.
We believe that the accounting policies described below involve a greater degree of judgment and complexity. Accordingly, these are the policies we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

Revenue recognition
We recognize revenue from contracts with customers when control is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for the services. Sales and other taxes collected from customers to be remitted to government authorities are excluded from revenue. We account for revenue contracts with customers by applying the requirements of Topic 606, which includes the following steps:
Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer.
Identification of the performance obligations in a contract.
Determination of the transaction price.
Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.
Recognition of revenue when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied.
We derive revenue from three sources:
Subscription revenue
We generate revenue primarily from sales of subscriptions to access our XM Platform, together with related support services to our customers. Arrangements with our customers do not provide the customer with the right to take possession of the software operating the XM Platform at any time. Instead, customers are granted continuous access to the XM Platform over the contractual period. Access to the platform represents a series of distinct services as we continually provide access to, and fulfill our obligation to the end customer over the subscription term. The series of distinct services represents a single performance obligation that is satisfied over time. Accordingly, the fixed consideration related to subscription revenue is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract term, beginning on the date that the service is made available to our customer.
Our subscription contracts generally have annual contractual terms, while some have multi-year contractual terms. Our contracts are generally non-cancelable. In rare instances, customers have the option to purchase additional subscription and support services at a stated price. These options do not provide a material right as they are priced at standalone selling price, or SSP.
Research on Demand revenue
Research on Demand is a solution provided to existing subscription customers. Research on Demand arrangements are distinct from subscription revenue services. Research on Demand revenue is recognized upon completion, because completion and delivery of the solution is considered a separate performance obligation satisfied at a point in time.
Professional services and other revenue
Professional services and other revenue includes fees associated with new and expanding customers requesting implementation, integration services, and other ancillary services. These services are distinct from subscription revenue services. Revenue from professional services and other revenue related to customized software coding is recognized upon completion, because the customer consumes the intended benefit and assumes control upon final completion of the custom coding. Revenue from professional services and other revenue related to implementation and other ancillary services is recognized as the services are performed, because the customer consumes the benefit as the services are provided.
Some contracts with customers contain multiple performance obligations. For these contracts, we account for individual performance obligations separately, if they are distinct. The transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. We determine standalone selling prices based on overall pricing objectives, taking into consideration market conditions, observable standalone selling prices, and other factors, including the value of contracts, types of services sold, customer demographics, and the number and types of users within such contracts.

Table of Contents

We record contract liabilities to deferred revenue when cash payments are received or due in advance of performance. Deferred revenue primarily relates to the advance consideration received from the customer.
We bill in advance for annual contracts, and at times enter into non-cancelable multi-year deals. Non-cancelable multi-year deals typically include price escalations each year. We recognize revenue on a straight-line basis over the non-cancelable term and accounts for the difference between straight-line revenue and annual invoice amounts as a contract asset.
We applied the practical expedient in Topic 606 and did not evaluate contracts of one year or less for the existence of a significant financing component. We determined that no significant financing component existed on its multi-year contracts, as these deals were structured for purposes other than obtaining financing from customers. Additionally, prices are generally fixed at contract inception; therefore, our contracts do not contain a significant amount of variable consideration.
Accounts receivable allowance
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of allowances.
In the event of lack of payment from a customer for issues unrelated to credit risk, we cancel the customer’s subscription access or service and write off the corresponding accounts receivable with reductions to revenue and deferred revenue. Write-offs to revenue and deferred revenue from cancellations are based upon the composition of revenue recognized and deferred revenue remaining at the time of cancellation.
In the event of lack of payment due to a bankruptcy or other credit-related issues of a customer, we write off the related accounts receivable with a charge to bad debt expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Bad debt expense was not material for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017, or for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018.
We consider the lack of payment for issues unrelated to credit risk to be variable consideration and estimate the impact to revenue and deferred revenue on a portfolio basis. This estimated allowance is based upon historical cancellation patterns due to lack of payment, the number of days that billings are past due, and an evaluation of the potential risk of loss associated with problem accounts. We continuously monitor the adequacy of the allowance by comparing actual write-offs against the estimated allowance and update estimates as needed. Allowances are recorded and adjusted based upon historical patterns related to the timing of cancellations. Adjustments to the allowance are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets with an offsetting adjustment to deferred revenue and revenue in the consolidated statements of operations. Write-offs to accounts receivable in a period are recorded in the activity in the allowance for that period. We believe that our allowances are adequate to absorb any known or probable uncollectible amounts due to service cancellations or customer credit risk.
Our allowances consist of the following activity (in thousands):
 
As of December 31,

The activity in the allowances for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to the year ended December 31, 2017 remained consistent despite growth in revenue and accounts receivable primarily due to a reduction in the number of cancellations.
The activity in the allowances for the six months ended June 30, 2018 has increased compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017 primarily due to growth in revenue and accounts receivable, as well as changes in the timing of cancellations.
We generally expect the activity in the allowance to fluctuate consistently with fluctuations in our revenue and accounts receivable, although activity may fluctuate from period to period.
Stock-based compensation
We measure and recognize compensation expense for stock-based payment awards, including restricted stock awards, or RSAs, RSUs, and stock options granted to employees and advisors, based on the grant date fair value of the awards. Awards granted to non-employees are marked-to-market each quarter. The grant date fair value of RSAs and RSUs is estimated based on the fair value of our underlying common stock. The grant date fair value of stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
We have issued two types of RSAs, one-tier and two-tier. One-tier RSAs vest solely on a service-based condition. For these awards, we recognize stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Two-tier RSAs contain both a service-based condition and performance condition, defined as the earlier of (i) an acquisition or change in control of the company or (ii) upon the occurrence of our initial public offering. A change in control event and effective registration event are not deemed probable until consummated; accordingly, no expense is recorded related to two-tier RSAs until the performance condition becomes probable of occurring. Awards which contain both service-based and performance conditions are recognized using the accelerated attribution method once the performance condition is probable of occurring.
Our issued RSUs contain both a service-based condition and performance condition, defined as the earlier of (i) an acquisition or change in control of the company or (ii) upon the occurrence of our initial public offering. A change in control event and effective registration event are not deemed probable until consummated; accordingly, no expense is recorded related to RSUs until the performance condition becomes probable of occurring. Awards which contain both service-based and performance conditions are recognized using the accelerated attribution method once the performance condition is probable of occurring.
As of December 31, 2017, all compensation expense related to two-tier RSAs and two-tier RSUs remained unrecognized because the performance condition was not satisfied. At the time the performance condition becomes probable, we will recognize the cumulative stock-based compensation expense for the two-tier RSAs and RSUs that have met the service vesting condition using the accelerated attribution method. Under the 2014 Plan as of June 30, 2018, 2.0 million two-tier RSAs were outstanding and 44.1 million two-tier RSUs were outstanding, of which 2.0 million RSAs and 12.2 million RSUs had met the service condition. If the performance condition had occurred on June 30, 2018, we would have recorded $73.9 million of stock-based compensation expense. If the performance condition had been satisfied on these two-tier RSAs and two-tier RSUs as of June 30, 2018, we would recognize future stock-based compensation expense of $91.8 million over a weighted-average period of approximately two years, if the requisite service is provided.
The estimated valuation of stock options requires us to make assumptions and judgments about the variables used in the Black-Scholes pricing model, including the fair value of our common stock, expected term, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, and expected dividend yield. These estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. These judgments are made as follows:
Fair value of common stock. The absence of an active market for our common stock requires us to estimate the fair value of our common stock. We obtained contemporaneous third party valuations to assist in determining the estimated fair value of our common stock. These contemporaneous third party valuations used the methodologies, approaches, and assumptions consistent with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Practice Guide, Valuation of Privately-Held-Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation.

Table of Contents

We considered numerous factors in assessing the estimated fair value of our common stock, including the results of contemporaneous valuations of its common stock by unrelated third parties; the rights, preferences, and privileges of our redeemable convertible preferred stock relative to those of our common stock; market multiples of comparable public companies in our industry as indicated by their market capitalization and guideline merger and acquisition transactions; our performance and market position relative to our competitors, who may change from time to time; our historical financial results and estimated trends and prospects for our future performance; the economic and competitive environment; the likelihood and timeline of achieving a liquidity event, such as an initial public offering or sale of the Company, given prevailing market conditions; any adjustments necessary to recognize a lack of marketability for our common stock; and precedent sales of or offers to purchase our common stock.
Expected term. We estimate the expected term using the simplified method, as we do not have sufficient historical exercise activity to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns and post-vesting employment termination behavior. The simplified method calculates the average period the stock options are expected to remain outstanding as the midpoint between the vesting date and the contractual expiration date of the award.
Expected volatility. The expected volatility rate is based on an average of the historical volatilities of the publicly traded equity securities of several entities with characteristics similar to ours, as there has been no public market for our Class B common stock to date and as a result we do not have any trading history of our Class B common stock.
Risk-free interest rate. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury security in effect at the time of grant for maturities corresponding with the expected term of the option.
Expected dividend yield. We have not paid and do not expect to pay dividends. Consequently, we use an expected dividend yield of zero.
The fair values of the stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017 were calculated using the following assumptions:
 
2016
 
2017
Fair value of underlying common stock
$1.66
 
$6.32 - $6.46
Expected term (in years)
7.0

Expected volatility
45.0%
 
45.0%
Risk-free interest rate
1.4%
 
2.1% - 2.3%
Expected dividend yield
 
On January 1, 2017, we adopted ASU No. 2016-09: Improvement to Employee Share-based Payment Accounting, or Topic 718, issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, which among other items, provides an accounting policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur, rather than to account for them based on an estimate of expected forfeitures. We elected to account for forfeitures as they occur and therefore, stock-based compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2017, has been calculated based on actual forfeitures in our consolidated statements of operations. The net cumulative effect of this change as of January 1, 2017 was not material.
Following this offering, it will not be necessary to determine the fair value of our Class B common stock as the shares will be traded in the public market.
Based on the assumed initial public offering price of        per share, which is the midpoint of the estimated price page on the cover page of this prospectus, the aggregate intrinsic value of our outstanding stock options as of        , 2018 was $         million related to vested stock options, and the aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding RSAs was $        million and outstanding RSUs was $        million as of that date.

Deferred contract acquisition costs, net
Deferred contract acquisition costs, net is stated at gross deferred contract acquisition costs less accumulated amortization. Sales commissions and related payroll taxes for initial SaaS subscription contracts earned by our sales force are considered to be incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. As a result, these amounts have been capitalized as deferred contract acquisition costs on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company deferred incremental costs of obtaining a contract of $20.3 million and $12.9 million during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Sales commissions for renewal contracts are not considered commensurate with the commissions paid for the acquisition of an initial SaaS subscription contract, given the substantive difference in commission rates in proportion to their respective contract values. As such, we expense renewal commissions as incurred.
Deferred contract acquisition costs are amortized over a period of benefit of five years. The period of benefit was estimated by considering factors such as estimated average customer life, the rate of technological change in the subscription service, and the impact of competition in our industry. As our average customer life significantly exceeded the rate of change in our technology, we concluded that the rate of change in the technology underlying our subscription service was the most significant factor in determining the period of benefit for which the asset relates. In evaluating the rate of change in the technology, we considered the competition in our industry, our commitment to continuous innovation, and the frequency of product, platform, and technology updates. We determined that the impact of competition in our industry is reflected in the period of benefit through the rate of technological change. Should any of these factors significantly change, whether in response to competitive pressures, or customer demand for newer or more advanced subscription services, the resulting effect could impact both our remaining estimated period of benefit and the determination of our future estimated period of benefit. As a result, both the timing and amounts of amortization of our deferred contract acquisition costs could change.
Amortized costs were $9.6 million and $6.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, and $6.2 million and $4.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Amortized costs are included in sales and marketing expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. There was no impairment loss in relation to the deferred costs for any period presented.
Internal-use software
We capitalize certain development costs incurred in connection with our internal-use software. These capitalized costs are primarily related to our XM Platform that we host and are accessed by our customers on a subscription basis. Costs incurred in the preliminary stages of development are expensed as incurred as research and development costs. Once an application has reached the development stage, internal and external costs, if direct and incremental, are capitalized until the software is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Capitalization ceases upon completion of all substantial testing. We also capitalize costs related to specific upgrades and enhancements when it is probable the expenditures will result in additional functionality. Capitalized costs are recorded as part of property and equipment. Maintenance and training costs are expensed as incurred. Internal-use software is amortized on a straight line basis over its estimated useful life of 24 months. We recognized amortization expenses of $6.7 million and $5.3 million related to capitalized internal-use software for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, within cost of subscription revenue.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We have operations in the United States and internationally, and we are exposed to market risk in the ordinary course of our business.

Table of Contents

Interest rate risk
We had cash and cash equivalents of $113.4 million as of December 31, 2017. We hold our cash and cash equivalents for working capital purposes. Our cash and cash equivalents are held in cash deposits and money market funds. The primary objectives of our investment activities are the preservation of capital, the fulfillment of liquidity needs, and the control of cash and investments. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. 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. Decreases in interest rates, however, would reduce future interest income.
We do not have any long-term debt or financial liabilities with floating interest rates that would subject us to interest rate fluctuations.
A hypothetical 10% change in interest rates during any of the periods presented would not have had a material impact on our financial statements.
Foreign currency exchange risk
Our results of operations and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates relative to U.S. dollars, our reporting currency. Our revenue is primarily generated in U.S. dollars, Euros, Australian dollars, British pounds sterling, Canadian dollars, New Zealand dollars, Japanese yen, and Singapore dollars. A portion of our operating expenses are incurred outside the United States, denominated in foreign currencies and subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly changes in the Euro, British pound sterling, and Australian dollar. Additionally, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may cause us to recognize transaction gains and losses in our consolidated statements of operations. As the impact of foreign currency exchange rates has not been material to our historical operating results, we have not entered into derivative or hedging transactions, but we may do so in the future if our exposure to foreign currency becomes more significant.
We recorded $1.0 million in net foreign currency transaction gains in the year ended December 31, 2017, and $0.6 million in net foreign currency transaction losses in the year ended December 31, 2016. A hypothetical 10% change in foreign currency rates would not have resulted in material gains or losses for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017.
Inflation risk
We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, results of operations, or financial condition. Nonetheless, if our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, results of operations, or financial condition.

LETTER FROM THE QUALTRICS FOUNDERS
Our mission is to help organizations leverage experience management to turn their customers into fanatics, employees into ambassadors, brands into religions, and products into obsessions.
We have always known that uncommon results require uncommon sense. That is why we have always done things a little differently. From our earliest days, we knew that if we were going to do something special we had to write our own playbook, not follow someone else’s. We bucked convention and chose to bootstrap our company for a decade without raising any outside funding. Through three distinct economic environments, Qualtrics has steadily grown and been free cash flow positive in each and every one of our 16 years. All primary capital raised remains unspent and still on the balance sheet. We intend to continue our thoughtful stewardship of capital as we go forward and to treat your investment with the same care and respect we have treated the capital that we and our private investors have contributed. We are excited to share our story and invite investors to join us in powering the experience economy.
How We Work
We are two operating co-founders. We are also brothers and the perfect marriage of complete opposites. One of us comes from a background in economics, product, and engineering. The other is built for growth, go-to-market, sales, and marketing. We are both operationally minded and creators in our own way. We push each other to reach our full potential and never settle for anything less. We are driven to build an enduring business, always think long-term, and encourage our team to do the same, even when not settling is the more difficult path.
We believe in and compete on the strength of our amazing team, which is more than 1,900 strong in 20 offices across the world. They range from eminent data scientists to brilliant engineers to award-winning customer support representatives. In addition, we have an incredible board of directors. We have deep respect for each member of our board of directors and have benefited from their guidance and governance over many years. All of us at Qualtrics – from the board of directors and C-suite to the newest intern – are immersed in our core values. We call these “TACOS:”
Transparency
All in
Customer obsessed
One team
Scrappy
We are relentless in our determination to live up to these values every single day.
What We Believe
We started Qualtrics 16 years ago in our parents’ basement in Provo, Utah. While a lot has changed since then, the core beliefs that guided us from the beginning haven’t. Those beliefs are the key to our accomplishments in the past and to our continued success in the future. They are what make Qualtrics one-of-a-kind to its customers, employees, partners, and investors.
We believe experiences matter. We have pioneered a new category called Experience Management, or XM. The Qualtrics XM Platform brings together the four key technology solutions for managing overall experience on a single platform: customer experience, employee experience, brand experience, and product experience. For too long, experiences were measured in silos. Qualtrics breaks down these silos and allows organizations to manage these four core experiences in one place for the first time ever. 
We believe in X-dataToo many companies are managed from the inside out. This is how you get blindsided. Every organization in the world—large or small, new or mature, private or public—needs to look outward to close the massive gaps between the experiences organizations think they are delivering and what is really happening.  That requires a new kind of data: experience data, or X-data. For too long, companies have relied on internal or operational data, or O-data, to try to close experience gaps. But experience gaps can only be


88


Table of Contents

closed using external or X-data. Qualtrics is the single system to collect, house, and take action on all X-data across customers, employees, brands, and products. Not having a unified system for all X-data and the ability to take action across the entire organization ensures failure.
We believe we only win if our customers win. We obsess over the success of our customers. While there are many ways to buy and sell software, two of our primary differentiators are the flexibility and scalability we offer our customers. This means our platform can be leveraged by every organization from the smallest, most immature programs to the largest, most sophisticated enterprises in a way that is unique to it and provides the greatest competitive advantage. We can make adjustments in real time to adapt to fast-paced, changing circumstances, and we can grow with an organization over time as it scales programs across departments, geographies, and functions. Markets are cruel and competition produces a shifting battlefield. Qualtrics is the solution that evolves as experience gaps do.
We believe in iteration, innovation, and creation. To be ordinary is to be irrelevant. To be complacent is to be dead. We have developed a culture of constant innovation, meaning we continuously iterate to make good things better. We have refined the skill of designing new and better ways to achieve what has been done in the past. Most importantly, we are always creating new things. Sometimes that means we are creating new products or platforms, new go-to-market strategies, or completely new industries, like experience management. We are not afraid to tear down what we have built if that means creating something better.
We believe there are no shortcuts. We have succeeded because we were willing to make hard choices and do the hard work. We were willing bet on the academic market when no one else would. We are willing to make the 90,000 cold calls, to code the technically “impossible” features, and to be disciplined in our spending. This will not change. It is what got us here and it is how we will get to the next level and the next one after that and the next one after that. Time is the ultimate equalizer and there are no shortcuts.
We believe in acting for the long-term. We have always been focused on creating a company that will outlast any individual, thrive in any market condition, and help customers overcome any challenge. That is why we have always made decisions with the long-term in mind. We will continue to run the company for the gain of our long-term stockholders, not short-term speculators. We have designed a corporate voting structure that will allow us to continue to focus on the long-term vision of Qualtrics. This has served our stockholders well over the last 16 years, and we believe this will allow Qualtrics to thrive in an environment that is increasingly focused on short-term quarterly achievements rather than long-term sustainable growth. Our voting structure ensures that all stockholders, including investors in this offering, will have a voice and the ability to make that voice heard publicly. It also ensures that as founders, we will ultimately have the final say on the most critical choices along our journey to building long-term value for all of our stockholders. Investors should understand that this means we may make choices that sacrifice some short term “pop” as we continue to invest and plan for long-term sustainable growth. Consistent with our core values, we want to be fully transparent in saying that investors interested only in short-term quarterly gain and stock speculation should look elsewhere, as we are committed to powering the experience economy for the long-term.
We believe in our responsibility as founders. Qualtrics will be a force for good. We will lead where governments lag and be vocal when others are quiet. We are determined to create positive experiences in everything we do. With strong views on diversity and inclusion, immigration, wage equality, and the universality of human rights—without regard to race, color, creed, gender, or sexual orientation—we will not be quiet but will amplify these views on behalf of our employees and organization. We know and embrace our responsibility to use business as a source for good.
We believe research changes the world. We power many of the world’s leading academics and have seen firsthand the power of research to change the world. We are proud of the research done with Qualtrics and the impact it is having—whether that’s transforming our understanding of human productivity, revolutionizing the way people make decisions, or powering the research behind New York Times best-selling books. Research has the power to close some of the world’s biggest gaps, because many of our most pressing problems occur from a lack of understanding, and that’s a problem we can solve.

We believe in giving back. Beginning with our days as a basement startup, we intentionally instilled a culture of giving back. Our focus has always been on defeating cancer. We are all in on eradicating the disease and know the best way to do that is to support groundbreaking cancer research. We started a campaign to crowdfund cancer research called 5 For The Fight™, inviting everyone to give $5 for the fight against cancer. We believe in a future without cancer and we believe we can all play a part in bringing that day closer.
Every day is a new experience with new opportunities and challenges. We have been working alongside our customers and employees for 16 years to create breakthrough experiences that directly impact people’s lives. Whether a customer has been with us from the beginning or just joined us, we are excited to be on this journey with every one of them. We know that the XM category will revolutionize the future of business, because experience is the future of business. Just like we are committed to doing everything we can to deliver the best experiences to our customers and employees, we will work hard and smart to deliver the best experience to our investors as well. We hope you will join us on this journey as we continue to apply our beliefs and implement our mission to shape the future of the experience economy.

Sincerely,

BUSINESS
Overview
Qualtrics has pioneered a new category of software that enables organizations to succeed in today’s experience economy. Our mission is to help organizations deliver the experiences that turn their customers into fanatics, employees into ambassadors, brands into religions, and products into obsessions.
We Live in an Experience Economy
Today, organizations thrive or fail based on the experiences they deliver. In a world of abundant choice, experiences differentiate brands and products, and foster customer and employee loyalty. Great experiences drive customer loyalty, upsell and expansion, employee engagement, brand quality, improved retention and referral, and ultimately, greater shareholder value. Conversely, unfavorable experiences lead to increased churn, lower productivity, diminished competitiveness, and value destruction. With the advent of digital communication channels, favorable or unfavorable experiences can be shared instantly and spread virally, amplifying these impacts and raising the stakes for organizations of all types and sizes. 
Executives Must Own All Dimensions of Experience
In this environment, C-level executives are increasingly accountable for issues that transcend basic product and service quality and encompass all of the dimensions that surround those offerings. This extends to thousands of often subtle factors that determine the quality of experiences their organizations deliver, including company culture, speed, convenience, attentiveness, design, and ease of use. We believe that customer, employee, brand, and product experience represent the four vital signs of organizational well-being and that executives are now measured on their performance across these domains. Customer and employee expectations are high, setting up the potential for significant gaps between actual and anticipated experiences. Yet, executives often lack the tools to understand, assess, and take decisive action to address these “experience gaps” as they arise. Today, disruptive start-ups and other businesses flourish by identifying such gaps and designing experiences that attack these blind spots of incumbents.
Organizations Need to Address Experience Directly, in the Moment
While organizations have traditionally deployed consultants or other third parties to gather data about customer and employee satisfaction, the increasing centrality, complexity, and nuance of delivering great experiences has compelled C-level executives to seek the capability to understand and take ownership of these matters directly and in real time. Given the immediate nature of experience, there is also a strong desire to allow individuals at every level in an organization to comprehend changes in experience quality and empower them to act decisively when it matters most.
We Pioneered Experience Management to Power the Experience Economy
We have created a new category of software, Experience Management, or XM, which enables organizations to address the challenges and opportunities presented by the experience economy. XM allows organizations to accomplish the following:
Comprehensively gather and analyze a new class of data, Experience Data, or X-data, that is richer, more immediate, and more salient to understanding quality of experience than traditional operational data, or O-data, which comes from sources such as customer relationship management, or CRM, enterprise resource planning, or ERP, human capital management, or HCM, Customer Service, and Marketing Automation systems. X-data is the human factor data — individual beliefs, emotions, and intentions — collected across multiple channels through which customers and employees engage with an organization.
Go beyond an assessment of what is happening within organizations to an understanding of why trends are emerging in the moment.
Address experience holistically, unifying information and insights from customers, employees, and partners and recognizing the operational linkages between the sentiment of these constituencies.

Become more predictive and proactive, closing feedback loops, and turning insight into real-time action to prevent and close experience gaps where they exist.
Democratize and own analysis and decision making across the organization by delivering powerful capabilities in a simple, easy-to-use product.
In today’s experience economy, we believe that XM is more critical to improving customer experience than CRM, more influential upon employee experience than HCM systems, and more important to enhancing brand experience than Marketing Automation. Consequently, we believe that XM represent a vast, rapidly growing, and underpenetrated market opportunity, and we estimate our total addressable market to be approximately $44 billion in 2018.
Our History Uniquely Positioned Us to Create and Lead XM 
Our history uniquely positioned us to pioneer and develop this new XM category. Founded in 2002 with the goal of solving the most complex problems encountered by the most advanced academic researchers, we were forged in an environment that required rigorous analytical methods, ease of use, the versatility to address the broadest range of inquiries, and the scalability to reach millions of touch points globally. Our leading presence with academic institutions has introduced millions of students to Qualtrics and allowed them to become proficient in the use of our software. As these students have migrated into the workplace, they have often brought us with them, spawning a whole new class of commercial customers and developing new use cases for our XM Platform. Led by these customers, we evolved beyond our traditional research product offering to develop our platform, which incorporates our core research capability and is also designed to specifically address customer, employee, brand, and product use cases. Taken together, we believe that this platform provides a System of Action for organizations to monitor and act upon the vital signs that drive performance in any organization.
Our Platform Defines All the Elements of Experience Management
Our XM Platform is purpose-built to help organizations collect feedback and data across the four vital signs of a business: Customers, Employees, Brand, and Product. XM transforms that data into insight, and drives action to create value. The key elements of our platform include:
Research Core — A collection of powerful, flexible research tools to build and distribute data collection systems, aggregate and analyze data, build reports, and draw insight from data. Research Core is designed specifically to instrument, gather, and index human factor data in any format through any channel. Users can synthesize and identify trends within minutes and immediately dig deeper into any data point to extract additional insight.
Customer Experience (CX) — Enables a deep understanding of customer sentiment throughout every customer journey, allowing organizations to monitor, measure, and take action where there may be any experience gaps, with a focus on identifying specific challenges and designing solutions to remediate issues and improve satisfaction in the moment.
Employee Experience (EX) — Allows managers and employees to identify gaps in the employee experience from recruiting and on-boarding to performance management in order to improve employee engagement, raise productivity, and limit attrition from start to finish at every touchpoint.
Brand Experience (BX) — Identifies key drivers of brand perception, including psychographic information, marketing effectiveness, and competitive positioning.
Product Experience (PX) — Facilitates the aggregation and analysis of critical feedback to identify and isolate the features and experiences that drive product differentiation and quality and permit more informed pricing and packaging decisions across all products.
While our XM Platform represents a deeply integrated set of capabilities, each component features functionality and analytics that are significantly differentiated from one another, allowing our customers to adopt the entire platform or individual solutions that directly address their specific needs. Our platform delivers insight to customers in the form

of rich visualizations that unify diverse data streams, demonstrate trends, and identify important deviations that signal the need for action.
We Have Built a Powerful and Innovative Go-To-Market Model
Today, our XM Platform is used by over 9,000 customers globally, including over 75% of the Fortune 100. As our research product evolved into our XM Platform, our customer base and go-to-market model have evolved as well. From our academic roots, we built a strong low-touch sales model that allowed us to target users in any size organization. By integrating Research Core and emerging use cases into our platform, we began to penetrate larger businesses and developed more outbound sales capability to drive a land and expand sales motion. More recently, we have developed a strong direct sales capability to address larger customers. Throughout this evolution, we have sought to broaden our reach, delight our growing base of customers, and operate efficiently and profitably.
We Bootstrapped Our Company and Have Consistently Generated Cash
We believe that we have built a scalable and sustainable business model. As we built Qualtrics, we relied primarily on capital generated by the business. The primary capital we raised remains on our balance sheet, demonstrating the cash flow efficiency of our business. We have been free cash flow positive in every year since our inception, while driving rapid adoption of our solution among organizations of all sizes around the world. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017, our revenue was $190.6 million, and $289.9 million, respectively, representing year over year growth of 52%. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017, our net gains (losses) were ($12.0) million and $2.6 million, respectively, and free cash flows were $3.4 million and $21.3 million, respectively.
Industry Trends in Our Favor
Experiences Drive Differentiation and Competitive Advantage
Today, the value of any organization is dictated by the experiences of its customers, employees, and other constituencies. While effective organizations have always recognized this truism, we now live in a world where those experiences can be shared and amplified globally and instantaneously through digital channels. Today, brand perception and reputation can shift quickly and profoundly. Consumers and employees are able to transition easily from brand to brand and from organization to organization. Direct commerce, the rise of new promotional platforms, and a proliferation of new brands have reduced switching costs for consumers. And, in many sectors, the number of job openings exceeds the number of job seekers, leading to more professional mobility.
Industries are being transformed by companies that deliver superior experiences. This includes retailers that enhance store design and customer service, manufacturers that deliver superior product quality, service providers that offer increased convenience, and organizations that focus on their employees. These organizations that thoughtfully shape interactions with their customers and employees to create differentiated experiences are in the best position to win.
Understanding the impact of experiences, both positive and negative on customers and employees, is critical in today’s experience economy to remain competitive:
Positive experiences lead to better outcomes:
Greater Loyalty and Retention. According to a study by the Temkin Group, customer experience leaders enjoy a net promoter score, or NPS, over 18 points higher than customer experience laggards.
Increased Productivity. According to the Gallup Organization, organizations with a high level of employee engagement report 21% higher productivity.
Stronger Financial Performance. Forrester Research, an industry research firm, reported that the average stock price of top publicly-traded brands in Forrester’s “CX Index” grew 32%, compared to 3% for the portfolio of lagging brands, over the last 12 months ending October 2017. During this same period, the S&P 500 Index grew 17%.

And poor experiences can have severe outcomes:
Lower Retention. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP reported that 32% of all customers say they will walk away from a brand they loved after just one bad experience.
Decreased Productivity. Deloitte found that the cost of losing an employee can cost up to 1.5-2.0 times the employee’s annual salary.
Inferior Financial Performance. According to academic research and industry studies, failing to meet customer expectations has been shown to have twice the negative economic impact as delighting customers has a positive impact.
Experience Gaps Create Challenges for Organizations
Experience is all-important in winning and retaining customers and employees; however, actual experiences often fall short of expectations. The difference between the experience an organization believes they are delivering and the actual experience delivered is the “experience gap.” Experience gaps often have detrimental consequences for an organization, including lost customers, lower spend, complaints, employee turnover, employee disengagement, poor performance, and product failures.
Understanding the causes of experience gaps enables organizations to prioritize the investments that they make. This can prevent organizations from overinvesting in areas that yield diminishing returns and enable them to redirect resources into aspects of the customer and employee experience that matter most. Companies are increasingly turning to Chief Experience Officers to identify and manage experience gaps across their entire organizations. Boards of directors have also taken notice and now tie C-level compensation to key metrics that demonstrate success at closing these gaps, such as customer satisfaction, product net promoter score, customer churn, employee engagement, and leadership approval. Sustained market leadership is defined by the pace at which organizations recognize and close experience gaps.
Organizations Struggle to Explain Why Experience Gaps Exist
Organizations rely on systems of record, such as CRM, ERP, HCM, Customer Service, and Marketing Automation systems, for gathering and reporting O-data. While these systems are useful for reporting what is happening as of a certain date, such as pipeline and sales data, employee data, and financial events, they are not designed to explain why something is happening. This why factor determines experience: why customers buy, why they are brand loyal, why a product release was successful, or why employees are engaged.
O-data systems on their own come with limitations that prevent them from measuring experience:
Cannot link events across systems of record;
Not designed to collect feedback across channels and formats;
Do not layer in necessary sentiment behind an event;
Backward looking, not capturing and acting on data in real-time; and
Use cookie-based data collection that is becoming increasingly scrutinized by privacy regulation and users.
O-data alone is far from sufficient to close experience gaps. Moreover, most organizations are O-data rich and X-data poor. X-data is the human factor data, the beliefs, emotions, and intentions that tell you why things are happening and, more importantly, what is going to happen. X-data is fragmented, often unstructured, and needs to be collected across all engagement methods, including e-mail, SMS, chat, phone, website, and in-app links. Together, X-data and O-data can provide differentiated and related insights to understand where experience gaps exist and how to address them. For example, a new product launch did not have the expected results because the price point was too high (X-data) and customers expected more features for the higher price point (X-data); as a result, sales are down compared to the last product release (O-data).


94


Table of Contents

X-data needs to be collected ad-hoc and in real-time. For example, product managers need to understand the features that users want as they are developing products, marketing managers need to understand how their brand is perceived to develop the proper messaging in targeted ad campaigns, HR managers need to understand the impact of a negative event on employee morale as it is happening in order to address potential concerns, and sales reps need to understand which customers are most likely to churn so they can course correct in real time to prevent attrition.
Insight from Direct Feedback Drives Value
Direct, timely, and authentic data about the sentiment and experiences of all constituents is needed to drive growth, competitiveness, and value in today’s economy. Direct commerce models have allowed businesses to create multiple touch points with customers and garner data that allows them to rapidly evolve and improve their offerings and operations. Companies without this direct customer connectivity, including those that operate via indirect channels, find themselves at an increasing disadvantage, often resulting in the inability to gather direct customer experience data and reducing the ability to assess customer sentiment and needs. Despite this lack of direct customer connectivity, companies need a software platform that enables them to maintain direct feedback loops. The absence of direct signals meaningfully inhibits organizations’ ability to adapt and thrive.
Organizations Need to Manage Experiences Across Customers, Employees, Brand, and Product
The success of organizations today depends on the quality of the experiences that they deliver to constituents across four critical areas: customer experience, employee experience, brand experience, and product experience. These four experiences serve as the key vital signs of every organization, and every interaction that an organization delivers, positive or negative, can be attributed to one of these categories.
Examples of how experience management can impact each of the four vital signs include:
Customer Experience:
Help sales teams understand what factors influence demand across product offerings
Help drive higher conversions during an active purchase funnel
Turn a potential detractor into a promoter through systematic intervention
Analyze the impact of sales promotions on customer spend, retention, and upsell
Identify which customers are most likely to churn and implementing specific steps to course correct
Understand customer satisfaction, NPS, and key reasons for or against recommendation
Employee Experience:
Prioritize investments across factors (e.g. compensation, perks, vacation, etc.) to reduce turnover
Identify causes of high employee turnover
Provide feedback to individual managers on their impact on employee experience; providing personalized recommendations on how to improve and systematically track progress
Use employee multi-rater reviews to determine professional action plans and improve employee job satisfaction
Understand factors leading to higher employee productivity and, as a result, organization performance
Brand Experience:
Identify the areas contributing to brand degradation and impact on customer retention
Enable marketers to prioritize investments that are most likely to enhance brand perception


95


Table of Contents

Track brand value and perception over time
Help marketers measure and manage advertising campaign effectiveness
Product Experience:
Understand features most important to customers during product development
Correlate areas of low satisfaction and high importance to address areas with highest impact to customers
Create optimal pricing and packaging structures based on customer needs and demographics
Organizations must be able to manage all four of these experiences individually and understand the impact that these interconnected experiences have upon each other. For example, engaged and empowered employees and partners are better able to address customer needs, enhance service levels, and elevate brand value. The result is richer and interrelated insights that could not be gained from tracking just one experience.
businessc1.jpg
Organizations able to manage these experiences in an integrated manner create a competitive advantage that drives increased organizational success and shareholder value.
Organizations Need a Holistic Experience Management Platform
Providing effective experience management requires organizations to combine O-data and X-data and take action to close experience gaps. Experience management capabilities need to be available to everyone throughout an organization, from C-level executives who are accountable for results down to those on the front lines best positioned to respond to feedback. Doing so has the potential to empower every person in an organization to make better and more informed decisions when it matters most.
To measure experiences, organizations have used a combination of various processes and tools for specific uses:
Third Party Market Research Firms and Consultants: This is a labor-intensive approach to researching a specific topic at a specific point in time. These firms can be effective at answering specific questions using in-depth market research through creating and sampling panels from their large networks. However, their methods of data collection and analysis lack a software-driven approach that can span across broad use cases

Table of Contents

in a timely manner. Further, they cannot automatically correlate and interpret O-data and X-data to provide recommendations on how to close experience gaps.
Organizations are also often required to have their own dedicated Market Research teams to commission research studies and liaise with these firms, which can serve as bottlenecks between the analysis and both the front-line employees who are seeking answers and the C-suite that is being held accountable for results.
Point Solutions: Services-intensive point solutions require a high level of system integration and human involvement to interpret results, are not available broadly to employees, and lack applicability across all vital signs of an organization. These include specific use systems as well as added functionality sometimes offered by enterprise software providers.
Survey Tools: Survey tools are useful for broad sampling across thousands of subjects, but lack the ability to combine data in different formats across different channels, correlate with O-data, and apply the analytical rigor needed to determine what actions need to be taken to improve results. They also lack enterprise grade security, scalability, and administrative control.
Organizations cannot afford to wait for others to tell them where experience gaps exist. Just as operational systems of record have emerged for an organization’s core functions of finance, HR, sales, and marketing, there is a clear need for a platform that extends across various O-data silos and unifies experience management across the organization.
A comprehensive experience management platform that empowers organizations to identify, assess, and close experience gaps needs the following capabilities:
Comprehensive Data Collection. Ability to collect X-data across all channels and formats and integrate it with and enrich O-data from various existing systems.
Powerful Analytics. Analytics that provide robust analysis on sentiment, priorities, churn, and organizational impact and actionable insights for users to address potential experience gaps, including actionable reports that explain why something is happening, not just what has already happened.
Address Experience Holistically. A unified and inter-connected view across key areas that have the highest impact on an organization: customers, employees, brand, and product.
Real Time. Ability to collect, interpret, and act upon an experience and trigger workflow in real-time, when it has the highest impact for an organization.
Easy to Use. Simple user interface that is accessible from any device and applicable to all users at every level within an organization, enabling every person to be a researcher.
Configurable. Programs need to be able to adapt to the ever-changing needs of organizations without the need for professional services.
Scalable. Ability to meet the needs of the largest and most sophisticated organizations and scalable to millions of touch points.
Privacy and Security. Robust data privacy and security features required to scale for organizations of all sizes and meet the highest enterprise standards.
Our Roots
We founded Qualtrics in 2002 to make sophisticated research simple for the academic market. In serving academia, we focused on the core needs of researchers who demanded analytical rigor and real-time research capabilities across a broad range of topics. As use of our solution grew within an increasing number of academic departments, we evolved our offering to address new requirements, including advanced embedded analytics, increased flexibility, and hardened security and administrative controls to support university-wide deployments.


97


Table of Contents

Our roots in academia helped us to develop our research engine with an interface that was intuitive and easy-to-use, yet powerful in functionality. Students trained on our software began to graduate into corporate roles at the same time corporate mandates to reduce outsourced spending and improve data driven decision making were emerging. As a result, use of our software and our Research on Demand solution started to gain traction in the corporate market, primarily at the department level. Our insight into how customers were using our software across hundreds of different use cases across multiple departments enabled us to develop programmatic ways for users to make better decisions and drive value.
Corporate use of our software was discovered to be driven largely by four core use cases: customer, employee, brand, and product related feedback and research. We developed focused solutions consisting of use case specific capabilities, content, dashboards, and workflow integration built on top of the base research and analytics engine. To provide a better, more consistent, and focused practice area around the customer, we developed Customer Experience as the first solution on our core platform. Next, we developed our solution for Employee Experience, which utilizes the same research engine at the core of our platform, but has specific functionality around employee experiences. We then developed our Brand and Product Experience solutions to round out a holistic approach to experience management in the areas that have the greatest impact on an organization’s success or failure. In 2017, we launched the Qualtrics XM Platform. We believe that the XM Platform provides a System of Action for organizations to monitor and act upon the vital signs that best drive organizational success.
The Qualtrics XM Platform

Key benefits of our platform include:
Comprehensive Data Collection. Our XM Platform enables organizations to personalize their communication with customers, employees, and partners and interact with these groups through the most effective channels. We engage with constituents in an intelligent manner across a variety of channels, including


98


Table of Contents

SMS, email, voice, website, in-app responses, and chat. Our platform enables our customers to correlate and decipher such data in order to make better decisions. Through simple integrations, users can incorporate O-data into XM analysis using native formats or through Excel exports, without the use of outside professional services.
Differentiated Analytical Capabilities. Our XM Platform is powered by a proprietary analytics engine that organizations of all types use to address some of the most demanding research projects. Our platform leverages the latest in artificial intelligence and natural language processing to allow users to discover correlations between events, develop predictive models without using third party tools, identify at-risk customers and employees, and suggest actions to course correct and drive impact. These capabilities are incorporated into our platform through Qualtrics iQ, enabling advanced analytical features to make statistical analysis and insights available to everyone. Ultimately, this allows users across organizations to understand why something is happening, not just what has already happened.
Ability to Address Experience Holistically. We provide specific solutions across the key areas that have the highest impact on an organization: customers, employees, brand, and product. Our XM Platform analyzes experiences within each of these areas individually and correlates data across areas to provide insight into how they impact each other. Our platform integrates X-data that we collect with siloed O-data that organizations already have, providing everyone in an organization from the C-suite to employees on the front line with a holistic view of experiences across key areas and constituencies.
Real-time Insight and Action. Our XM Platform is able to extract real-time feedback and provide insights and analysis when it matters most. This timeliness is necessary to affect outcomes, including reducing churn, increasing sales, preventing employee turnover, increasing engagement, and enhancing brand among others. Our platform can drive action natively or by integrating with systems that an organization already uses. For example, our platform can automatically generate a customer ticket when a negative sentiment is expressed on a social media site and prompt an organization to action all the way to issue resolution. In this way, our platform not only helps to identify issues, but also serves as a System of Action to remedy potential problems in a timely manner.
Ease of Use Enabling Democratization of Research Across All Users. We designed our XM Platform for every knowledge worker. Users can design a customer feedback program in minutes using simple drag and drop functions. Once X-data is collected, we provide easy to consume analysis. Results are presented to users in discernible reports, charts or graphs, and through simple language that anyone can put into action such as “Level of service is ranked highest in customer priorities and has the highest correlation with returning visits.” This ease of use allows our platform to be used by employees across the organization.
Flexible Configuration to Meet Specific Needs. Our customers have configured our platform to meet diverse needs from preparing PhD dissertations to ensuring successful product launches. Our platform provides all of the tools necessary to enable program design configured to specific needs. Through an intuitive and elegant interface, users can design programs that implement complex logic, and advances workflows. Users can also design, deploy, and alter these programs without help from professional services or IT, leading to faster and more impactful insights. Our platform can deliver these insights through flexible and scalable role-based dashboards to ensure people within an organization can access insight in real time and on any device.
Scalable for the Needs of the Largest Organizations. In addition to scaling seamlessly across use cases, our XM Platform can collect, analyze, and interpret data across millions of touch points, meeting the needs of the world’s most sophisticated and demanding organizations. We have built our platform on contemporary open-source technologies that are designed to scale horizontally while providing high performance. We believe this has enabled us to scale our platform indefinitely to support rapidly increasing data storage and processing needs, such as near real-time stream processing and massive-scale batch processing of big data.
Security and Privacy Designed for the Enterprise. Our XM Platform adheres to the highest standards of security and privacy that are demanded by the largest organizations in the world. Our platform enables role-based permissioning to ensure that only the right people have access to the most sensitive customer and employee information. We believe our systems and processes exceed industry practices, including being

certified for the global security gold standard, ISO 27001. We have achieved FedRAMP authorization to deliver services to United States federal government agencies. Additionally, organizations own and retain all their data gathered on our platform.
As a result of our robust platform features and functionality, the impact to customers is profound. Below are examples of how some of our customers have benefited from using Qualtrics:
Customer Experience: JetBlue found that 82% of their passengers didn’t care about free bags and instead preferred cheaper ticket prices. JetBlue responded by rolling out different rate structures and pricing options to cater to these customers.
Employee Experience: Twilio achieved a 90% response rate for employee engagement and changed company policy to provide unlimited time off as a result of employee feedback.
Brand Experience: Royal Caribbean drove actionable insights on everything from loyalty research to advertising to segmentation. With the help of Qualtrics, Royal Carribean's overall awareness and preference has reached an all-time high among those who have never cruised.
Product Experience: Yamaha used Qualtrics to run a quick-turn study of their power users’ preferences on important features in new keyboard models at the critical point in product development.
Market Opportunity
In today’s experience economy, we believe that XM is more critical to improving customer experience than CRM, more influential upon employee experience than HCM systems, and more important to enhancing brand experience than Marketing Automation.  As a new category of software, we believe that XMhas broad applicability to individuals at every level in an organization to gain valuable insight regarding the customer, employee, brand, and product experiences their organizations deliver and empower them to act decisively to address potential issues as they arise.  Consequently, we believe that XM represents a vast, rapidly growing, and underpenetrated market opportunity today, and we estimate our total addressable market to be approximately $44 billion in 2018.
We have calculated our market opportunity by using third party data on the total number of global enterprises with an estimated annual revenue greater than or equal to $50 million and governmental institutions, plus the total number of K-12 academic institutions in the United States and international post-secondary academic institutions, and applying a calculated annual contract value, or ACV, to these organizations in different segments based on their respective size and leveraging internally generated data applicable to each corresponding segment. For example, because larger enterprises have generally demonstrated greater deployment of our solutions across their organizations, we have segmented the number of enterprises into tiers to reflect this distinction. 
The calculated ACV applied to the estimated number of organizations in each respective segment across enterprise, academic institutions, and government entities is calculated using internal company data of actual customer spend by type and size.  For each respective segment, we calculate the median ACV of the top 50 customers, which we believe representative of having achieved broader implementation of our solutions within their organizations.  The ACV for each customer by segment includes actual spend on subscription to our XM Platform as well as Research on Demand.  We then multiplied the calculated ACVs and number of organizations by type and segment, and the aggregate value across all these segments represent our estimated TAM in 2018.
What Sets Us Apart
As the creator and leader of XM, we have several distinguishing advantages:
Pioneer and Market Leader for Experience Management. Our users have continually provided us valuable insights that fuel our development and innovation. Our experiential learning over the past 15 years has helped us develop, test, and refine our software solutions. Today, users across over 9,000 organizations rely on our software for differentiated and actionable insights into their businesses. Their experience with Qualtrics - across our products, brand, and employees - defines our continued success and serves as a powerful differentiator for our business.

Scalable within Organizations from Departments to Enterprise-Wide. Our XM Platform combines ease of use with the scalability required by the world’s largest enterprises. Built for enterprise scale, Qualtrics has been architected as an open and easily configurable platform to facilitate a wide breadth of use cases. For example, Qualtrics now powers over 40,000 dashboards for Walmart’s managers to track employee experience. Additionally, up to one million healthcare providers within the Aetna network link customer digital behavior with NPS and CSAT across their 22 million customers. Our platform has become critical to our thousands of customers, and since 2015, Qualtrics has maintained average up-time of 99.89%.
Academic Roots. Our academic roots have allowed us to differentiate in the following key ways:
Technology focus: Our initial focus on the academic market required us to build sophisticated software that balanced the complex design requirements requested by researchers with our goal of providing a user-friendly interface for professors, researchers, and students. It also required the ability to scale within large university deployments and played naturally into our scalable enterprise platform. Our integration amongst the academic community has introduced us to innovative research techniques and methodologies which we have been able to incorporate into our software.
Effective on-ramp: Our strength amongst academic researchers and students has served as a powerful foundation for efficient growth among knowledge workers. We estimate that over 2 million academic users have been introduced to Qualtrics as students or researchers, who in turn have helped bring Qualtrics into their organizations as they have entered the workforce.
Modern Technology Architecture. We have a modern technology platform that enables us to scale, store, and process efficiently large batches of data, and can support our broad portfolio of solutions. Qualtrics is built on open-source technologies that are designed to scale horizontally while providing high performance. In addition, our architecture allows for easy integration of operating data through APIs which enriches the value of experiential feedback data. With a broad range of high quality and relevant data, we are able to apply intelligent statistics, text analytics, machine learning, natural language processing, and other sophisticated capabilities to transform this data into insights and action.
Rapid Time to Value. Our technology is designed to be easy to deploy, configure, use, and scale. By making the complex capabilities of our XM Platform simple to use, we allow customers of all types and sizes to generate value quickly. In addition, the modularity of our platform allows our customers to deploy one or more of our solutions initially and then adopt additional modules as their use cases grow and evolve. As initial deployments generate valuable X-data and the value of that data compounds over time, we see many customers adding additional functionality as the power and influence of XM insights spread throughout their organizations.
Powerful and Innovative Go-to-Market Model. We deploy a powerful and innovative go-to-market model that addresses the many ways a customer may choose to buy. We utilize a combination of highly productive inside sales team and a field sales team to target customers. In addition, we leverage the Qualtrics Partner Network, or QPN, for joint go-to-market opportunities, product enhancement and service delivery. We are intently focused on the profitable delivery of our solution. As such, we consistently measure sales rep productivity to ensure we achieve targeted goals for calling and conversion. Our sales rep impact is measured through a proprietary application, which provides transparency across our broad sales team on achievement to goals. We believe our go-to-market model enables us to meet customer requirements while utilizing our resources internally in an efficient way.
Customer-centric Product Innovation. We are focused on continuously improving our software, and we have a customer-centric focus that is embedded in our culture. Using our own XM Platform, we are able to collect continuous feedback from our customers in real-time. This knowledge surrounding the needs of our customers enables us to drive product innovation and the direction of our company. For example, both our Customer Experience and Employee Experience solutions were created based on observing our customers using Research Core for specific customer and employee use cases.

Employees and Culture
Our culture of TACOS defines Qualtrics and our employees. These are principles that came about over 16 years, burned into in our DNA, one at a time. They make up lessons, beliefs, and a model to our success and of who we want to be.  This is how people have described our culture from the inside. These words are how we talk internally. That being said, we are also aspirational that they are more than the language we use, that they must be lived up to on a daily basis by each one of us. TACOS are a call to action and North Star everyday as we approach our work. These are our TACOS: 
Transparency. We are a meritocracy and hold ourselves accountable. We reward the competent over the confident.
All-In. We bet on Qualtrics and Qualtrics bets on us. This is our company. We deliver whatever it takes. 
Customer Obsessed. If a customer is upset, we failed. Period. We learn, and we fix it.
One Team. There is only one team at Qualtrics. We hunt as a pack. We win and lose together and never say, “That’s not my job.”
Scrappy. We’re smart, resourceful and find a way. We write our own story instead of following others.
We live by our TACOS culture. Our culture impacts who we hire, how we retain and promote employees, and how we engage with each other and our customers. 
We also utilize our XM Platform to close our own experience gaps. Employees understand how their own and their teams’ experiences connect to the value we deliver to customers and the perception of our brand. 
Our own EX deployment keeps managers attuned to what is important to their teams and what is driving success.  We understand what matters most and what drives engagement. These insights have led to unique benefits like our annual ‘experience bonus’ that offers employees an opportunity to have and share an epic experience with their peers, like a hike up Kilimanjaro, or a dance off with Justin Timberlake.  
Our CX deployment feeds customer feedback directly into all employees’ hands as it occurs, so we all know who is a promoter, who is a detractor, and why.  And we can all see these feedback loops closed in real time.
We take delight in our customers’ success and enthusiasm, as many of our employees were able to experience first-hand with approximately 7,000 attendees at our X4 Summit in March of 2018. 
We care about each other and our community. In 2016, we launched a cancer research initiative, Five for the Fight, broadly supported by our employee base.
Our Growth Strategy
Key elements of our growth strategy include:
Drive New Customer Sales. We believe that our market opportunity remains largely underpenetrated. We will continue to invest aggressively in our direct and indirect sales and marketing capabilities to continue to acquire new customers, including continued growth in the number of enterprise customers.
Expand Within Existing Customers. Our customer base of over 9,000 organizations represents a significant growth opportunity for us. Historically, many of our customers started with a general use case in the form of our Research Core platform, but we now also land with any of our four integrated solutions. Our XM Platform has the flexibility to allow a single division or a specific team to use it on a small scale, which could grow to an organization-wide deployment. As a result, there is an opportunity to expand both scale and use cases within an organization. As users start to focus more deeply on specific experiences, they will then look to Customer Experience, Employee Experience, Brand Experience, and Product Experience, complemented by Research on Demand. Our goal is to increase the number of customers that standardize on our platform within their organization, creating opportunity for expanded use cases.

Expand Our International Presence. A key focus of our company is to continue to penetrate unaddressed global markets. Constituents can provide feedback in 74 languages, and our core admin user interface supports 14 languages. To penetrate international markets, we have developed a hub-and-spoke sales model, comprised of centralized inside-sales teams surrounded by regional direct sales groups. Our first two international hubs were in Dublin, Ireland and Sydney, Australia. More recently we have opened sales offices in additional countries including France, Germany, Japan, Singapore, and the United Kingdom. To address data sovereignty concerns amongst our international customers we have built data centers in Canada, Germany, and Australia. We believe that this investment should further increase our international expansion opportunities. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, 22% of our revenue is from international markets, and we believe that there is significant opportunity for continued growth from outside the United States.
Continue to Innovate and Enhance Our Platform. As we continue to build out our customer base, we use our technology to draw insights and ensure that we are best serving our customers’ needs. We believe continued innovation will lead to a greater value proposition for our customers and increased adoption of our XM Platform by both new and existing customers. In 2015, we built-out our Seattle office to function as an engineering center focusing on product innovation and development, including our artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities. Since then, the office has grown to over 300 employees. In 2018, we launched our Krakow, Poland office as our European engineering center. Both of these growing locations support our goal of continuously enhancing our platform and providing the best technology for our customers.
Grow Revenue from Key Industry Verticals. While our XM Platform is industry-agnostic, we have made a number of industry specific investments that will accelerate our adoption within certain verticals, including government, education, and financial services. We have developed Certified XM Solutions, leveraging partners’ expertise, and embedding industry specific content into our products. Our Certified XM Solutions are packaged projects and programs with expert content, workflow, and automation. In every key vertical, we have reference customers that we believe validate the adoption of our platform.
Further Develop Our Partner Network. We are building out a network of content and consulting partners, delivery partners, and technology partners who enrich our offerings, scale our coverage, and help us reach a broader audience than we would be able to reach on our own. We expect our partner channel to extend our sales reach and provide implementation leverage both domestically and internationally. At our March 2018 X4 Summit, we announced the launch of the QPN. Since then, we have entered into many impactful partnerships, including IBM, J.D. Power, and Kantar. We will continue to partner with other leading organizations to broaden our reach.

Research Core
The Qualtrics Research Core platform is our collection of powerful, flexible, cross vertical research tools used to build and distribute data collection schemes, aggregate and analyze data, and build reports and draw insights from data. This platform is the underlying toolset powering all four of the experience solutions, and can also be purchased directly by our customers to allow their users to conduct sophisticated research in a simple, easy-to-use platform. These users can adopt a self-service approach to conducting a wide variety of research projects that formerly required hiring expensive outsourced consultants, such as tracking consumer behavior across diverse segments, conducting complex academic research, and advertising and product testing.
Research Core includes the following critical functionality:
Intelligent interactions. Research Core enables organizations to engage with constituents in a natural way through intelligent interactions across a variety of channels, such as email, websites, and SMS. Our platform can conduct data collection from constituents both in traditional ways, such as sending pre-created questions to pre-selected audiences, and contextual ways, such as dynamically-generated, in-context question prompts on websites and mobile apps that can target specific individuals based on various criteria.
Advanced analytics. Once data has been collected, Research Core provides users with robust, best-in-class analysis tools that are easy-to-use for anyone. Data visualization then allows customers to see dashboards tailored to their role within their organizations and schedule reports to be automatically shared with peers, clients, managers, and others on a regular basis to ensure that everyone in the organization is informed of a project’s results in real-time.
Prescriptive actions. Research Core goes beyond data analysis by providing organizations with insights into the actions they can take to drive improvements in their organization. Our platform includes functionality for automatic alerts, action planning, and closed loop ticketing. Tickets can be triggered based on conditions predetermined by the user to inform them of experience gaps in a constituent’s journey and can alert users both within the Qualtrics platform, or in other channels like email, Slack, Salesforce, and other channels through Web API requests.
Research on Demand
Our Research on Demand solution allows customers to gain market intelligence for a particular area of interest by procuring a curated group of respondents and swiftly returning actionable results, while conforming to best-practice design and methodology. We provide our Research on Demand solution as an automated, software-led approach, providing ease of use and efficiency for our customers. Our Research on Demand solution is sold into our existing XM Platform customers.

Powerful and Predictive Intelligence Engine
Our solutions are powered by our predictive intelligence engine, iQ. Our iQ engine consists of the following critical functionality:
iQ Directory
businessb8.jpg
The iQ Directory contains all experience data collected over time, formally tracking all experiences, interactions and feedback that each individual provides to an organization. iQ Directory enables an organization to collect data from multiple data sources and gain a person-centric view of their constituents by capturing each interaction throughout the constituent’s journey. The directory makes it possible for organizations to pinpoint key drivers and changes in individual sentiment over time and drive action to close experience gaps. For example, an e-commerce company can track a customer’s key experience touchpoints across the lifetime of the customer, including sales of items, customer feedback, and engagement with customer support, all in one location. iQ Directory’s machine learning technology also helps predict how an individual might respond in a certain situation. This enables organizations to interact with people at the right moment, with the right message, via the right channels to drive the most optimal outcomes, and allows interactions with individuals to feel like an ongoing conversation rather than transactional pings along a constituent’s journey. iQ Directory also allows organizations to better understand the journeys that their customers are experiencing, helping them to identify key gaps in customer interaction with their brand.

Text iQ
textiqhoriz.jpg
Our Text iQ functionality uses natural language processing and machine learning algorithms to analyze unstructured, open-end text data for responses and insights. Our technology uncovers trends within unstructured data responses without any additional manual tagging by using a cluster-based approach to understand the context of the unstructured data and extracting insights from the data automatically. Text iQ assigns sentiment scores to incoming open text data to allow organizations to capture the emotion of individual respondents and each topic they discuss, directing organizations on where to focus their attention. For example, after requesting written employee feedback, a financial services company can immediately gain a pulse on how the employees feel about the company and can drill down to understand specific employee sentiment by job type and which aspects employees are most frustrated with, allowing the company to identify and act on problem areas within the workplace. Text iQ automatically updates reports and dashboards with this analysis and immediately pushes this newly-analyzed data to employees, giving them the insights they need to make changes in the moment while also showing the evolution of sentiment over time.

Stats iQ
businessb10.jpg
Our Stats iQ technology makes advanced statistical analysis of experience data accessible for any user. Based on the structure of the data set, Stats iQ automatically chooses the appropriate statistical analyses to run and then presents the results to the user in a digestible and understandable format in plain English, which democratizes the ability for anyone in an organization to extract business insight from sophisticated research and analysis. For example, when reviewing feedback on brand awareness and equity, a consumer-packaged goods company can use Stats iQ to automatically correlate awareness and equity by demographics and location to understand which groups of people they should target in their marketing strategy. Stats iQ also helps organizations identify their distinct customer cohorts, and better understand the characteristics, needs, and satisfaction levels of those key groups. Comprehensive and advanced data analytic functions include relate, univariate, bivariate, crosstabs, pivot tables, regression, and modeling.

Driver iQ
businessb11.jpg
Our Driver iQ technology uses financial impact and advanced regression analyses to automatically recommend the organizational improvements that will drive the highest ROI. It prioritizes key drivers from the C-Suite to the frontline employees in clear business terms. Using advanced statistical analytics, Driver iQ correlates the quality of the customer-journey with specific satisfaction drivers, and allows users to prioritize the drivers that will most improve the overall experience going forward. For example, when receiving feedback on paint colors for a new line of cars, an automotive company can use Driver iQ to identify which car colors will drive the highest sales amounts, allowing them to produce the optimal amount of each color of car. The Driver iQ interface also allows different users to configure the data in real-time to drill down in the data and identify the key drivers at their specific points of impact, yielding more relevant and actionable insights and follow-up directives for each specific user.

Predict iQ
businessb12.jpg
Our Predict iQ technology helps companies understand which customers are likely to leave and what they can do to prevent attrition before it happens. Using deep learning neural networks and open-source algorithms to make its predictions, Predict iQ identifies customers who are likely to churn and provides visibility into what is driving that behavior. The technology can also be used in a workflow with Qualtrics Actions, allowing users to set up triggers to send emails, create tickets, or ping any third party service for immediate action to prevent attrition. For example, within an enterprise software company, if Predict iQ identifies a customer that has unresolved issues with the product and is likely to churn, the company’s pre-set workflows can open up a ticket in Salesforce to remind their sales and customer success teams to resolve any product issues and provide the right amount attention to the customer. Users can also leverage other Qualtrics iQ technologies, such as sentiment analysis from Text iQ and regression models from Stats iQ, into Predict iQ to provide the neural networks with additional variables that users find relevant to enhance the accuracy and sophistication of the deep learning algorithms.

Customer Case Studies
We believe that the following case studies provide a representative sample of how our customers use our XM Platform and illustrate the results our customers have achieved using our XM Platform.
Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty
Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty, or AGCS, is the Allianz center of expertise for global business insurance and large corporate and specialty risks. AGCS has a worldwide network in more than 200 countries and territories, including a network of more than 70 Allianz-owned offices.
Situation:
In 2015, AGCS knew that it was operating in a highly competitive market where excess supply and declining rates were applying pressure on it to innovate and provide a superior service in order to retain and attract new customers. It needed to make sure it was staying ahead of the market, which required providing its employees and leadership the insights that would help anticipate customer needs and provide a single view of its customers. With the introduction of a new CEO, Allianz began to implement the Allianz renewal agenda, with one of the key pillars being true customer centricity. Through this, AGCS started to develop a clear roadmap to make it a truly customer centric organization. It believed that through a heightened focus around customer experience, it could increase revenue growth, expand its margins, and improve its competitive position. To achieve these goals, AGCS brought together a team of 35 key business leaders from across the world to design a scalable customer experience program that would win over customers and accelerate growth year after year. It needed a partner that would not only provide it with a leading technology platform, but also work with it in a consultative way to help shape the future of its customer experience program.
Qualtrics Solution & Benefits:
In 2015, AGCS selected Qualtrics to partner with on this initiative. AGCS quickly rolled out a globally consistent program on the Qualtrics XM Platform to collect experience data from customers in 22 countries and in 16 languages. This program consisted of a relational program for both brokers and clients and a transactional program for clients.
Under its relational program, AGCS sent custom consumer feedback requests to both brokers and clients to understand how it perceived AGCS, and just as importantly, to determine how AGCS’ stakeholders’ perceptions of AGCS compared to its perception of competing brands. After receiving the ongoing results in real-time dashboards, country-level business units used the information to evaluate the status of its customer relationships and benchmark its competitive performance in the market. This feedback allowed managers and leaders to develop clear action plans on global, functional, and local levels to improve ACGS’ CX.
After launching the relational feedback system, AGCS saw clear improvement opportunities to gather feedback regarding customer satisfaction directly after an experience. As part of its transaction program, AGCS began to solicit feedback from customers after a visit from a risk engineer. Qualtrics provided the risk engineers real-time customer insights who could then quickly work to close the loop with the customer. Following the success to date, AGCS will be expanding this program in 2019.
Results:
As a result of its implementation of the Qualtrics XM Platform, AGCS has achieved the following results:
AGCS has established a centralized view of all customer insights, helping it uncover key gaps in its customers’ journeys and business opportunities.
A year into its program, AGCS was able to determine the direct impact of client and broker satisfaction on key business metrics. Specifically:
Gross Written Premium, or GWP, of brokers who were promoters was two times higher than compared to detractors; and
GWP of clients who were promoters was six times higher than compared to detractors.

Table of Contents

As a response to gaps surfaced in customer feedback, AGCS has developed innovative products for businesses to protect themselves from emerging risks, such as cybersecurity.
AGCS is making the connection between CX and EX internally, and is due to launch the first employee pulse check, using the Qualtrics employee experience solution by the end of 2018. It believes that the future of experience management involves linking these two critical programs together.
Between 2016 and 2017, significant improvement was seen in the NPS performance of AGCS in 22 countries with over 75% achieving above market or loyalty leader position.
Belkin International, Inc.
Belkin International, Inc., or Belkin, is a privately held, American manufacturer of consumer electronics that specializes in connectivity devices, headquartered in Los Angeles, California.
Situation:
As a consumer electronics manufacturer, Belkin’s customer experience is primarily defined by the interaction that its customers have with its product. To manage the user experience across every customer touchpoint and for all products, Belkin needed a flexible and agile end-to-end user experience feedback platform accessible across departments (engineering, marketing, and executive management) that could report out data in real-time.
Qualtrics Solution & Benefits:
Using both Qualtrics’ CX and PX solutions, Belkin has implemented a fully automated process to collect, aggregate, and track product feedback across all stages of the customer journey. Customer feedback is then made visible to all of Belkins’ key stakeholders through Qualtrics dashboards, and is integrated with its salesforce through salesforce.com to power real-time triggers and ticketing through the system that its employees already use. By embedding Qualtrics into Belkin’s existing technology stack, employees can immediately resolve customer issues seamlessly.
An important use of Qualtrics at Belkin is the capacity for real-time user feedback across a product life cycle, particularly in the first 90 days of a product launch. For example, after the launch of a new networking product line, the Belkin product team collected user feedback at multiple touchpoints, including post-sales, post-support, website searches, and community message boards. Using Qualtrics, the team organized the data by customer segment, and distributed the data through filterable dashboards. Even though the product development team did the standard pre-work for launch such as focus groups with consultants, post-release sales indicated poor product market fit with the intended buyer. To take immediate action and address the growing sales gap, Belkin held daily team huddles with its marketing, engineering, and product teams to review the Qualtrics data and insights. Using Qualtrics statistical and text analytics, the cross-departmental product team was able to make daily improvements to the product, messaging, packaging, instructions and customer support needs. These daily strategy sessions, powered by Qualtrics real-time insights served to get product sales back on track within two months and eventually helped the team exceed initial first year projections.
Results:
As a result of its implementation of the Qualtrics XM Platform, Belkin has achieved the following results:
Using Qualtrics data, the product teams intervened post-product launch and successfully closed an $80 million gap against sales targets.
Using Qualtrics to surface product gaps and drive improvements, Belkin reduced support call volume by 5% year over year.
Using feedback from prospects, sales enablement was able to take specific actions to improve sales training, resulting in a 30 point improvement in post-sales call NPS.
Amazon.com ratings improved from 2.8 to 4.7 stars - and became the #1 recommended product for the category on Amazon.com.

BlackRock, Inc.
BlackRock, Inc., or BlackRock, is a global investment management company based in New York, New York that manages over $6 trillion in assets and has almost 15,000 employees worldwide.
Situation:
Competing in the extremely personalized and competitive world of financial planning and investment management, BlackRock knew that it needed to maintain a high level of service, and understood that a highly engaged workforce was the key to delivering a superior experience to its clients. BlackRock’s leadership desired to build an end-to-end employee experience program agile enough to grow with its organization. BlackRock’s leadership was interested in understanding what drove its engaged and enabled workforce. BlackRock wanted the flexibility to ask the questions specific to its organization and allow its in-house data experts to analyze the data and glean insights. BlackRock sought to partner with an organization that would empower it to listen to its employees and quickly understand what changes needed to be made to improve engagement.
Qualtrics Solution & Benefits:
In the first quarter of 2015, to accomplish its goals of creating a flexible and sophisticated EX program, BlackRock turned to Qualtrics. With the Qualtrics EX platform, BlackRock implemented an internally-managed, employee experience program that has allowed it to reduce costs, enhance capacity, save time, and mitigate risk. BlackRock began its partnership with Qualtrics by sending out an annual employee engagement feedback request to every employee across its organization. Through Qualtrics’ organizational hierarchy management and integration with its Human Capital Management System, BlackRock provided senior managers and executives with direct, real-time access to engagement metrics, clearly laying out key improvement areas. In collaboration with its leadership, BlackRock’s human resources team used the company-level data to establish company priorities and set action plans for the coming year. To monitor progress in certain focus areas, BlackRock solicited regular employee feedback and encouraged ongoing and open conversations between employees and leadership through customized, pulsed requests to small employee populations throughout the year. Blackrock then expanded to Qualtrics’ 360-review module, allowing it to provide comprehensive, automated, and actionable insights to company leaders regarding areas of improvement in their skill sets.
BlackRock is also utilizing the 360 module to enable its most promising leaders to better understand their strengths and areas for development in preparation for promotion to more senior roles. In addition to an employee engagement and multi-rater assessment programs, the BlackRock human resources team uses the Qualtrics EX platform for a number of ad-hoc professional development and culture-building initiatives, and continue to expand its use cases.
Results:
As a result of its implementation of the Qualtrics XM Platform, BlackRock has achieved the following results:
Built a centralized, rigorous employee data management system that directly integrates with all core human resources systems and connects engagement and performance data to identify the impact of performance metrics on enablement, engagement, and attrition.
Has reduced employee experience program costs by 66% per year by transitioning from an external third-party to an in-house employee insights program.
Successfully moved from batch-based monthly reports to realtime dashboards and analytics, enabling human resources to move from feedback collection to recommendations in 1/10th of the time (from one month to three days).
Improved its efficiency and effectiveness in identifying what employees desire in a high performing manager; thereby allowing BlackRock to build a customized manager training programs.

Under Armour, Inc.
Under Armour, Inc., or Under Armour, headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland, is a company that manufactures sportswear, footwear, and casual apparel.
Situation:
In the highly competitive sportswear space, Under Armour has built and maintained its advantage through the introduction of innovative products. The product innovation team at Under Armour learned early on that the most game-changing products are developed through a deep understanding of how athletes actually use its products and what they need to succeed. For Under Armour, athletes define unmet needs and are the ultimate critics or champions of the products that Under Armour creates. As such, Under Armour understands how critical it is maintain a connection to athletes throughout the product creation process, engaging with them to learn about their needs and specifications before a product goes to market. To enhance the communication channels and receive real-time product feedback from its athlete-customers, Under Armour needed a platform that could be a competitive advantage by channeling hundreds of deep insights from athletes to products.
Qualtrics Solution & Benefits:
In 2013, Under Armour started with a $10,000 per year license to enable its Consumer Insights team to conduct consumer research. Its implementation of Qualtrics quickly grew in scope to include product testing and perception research, and in 2014 Under Armour partnered with Qualtrics to develop a sophisticated wear testing platform. On the Qualtrics XM Platform, Under Armour built a complex product feedback and evaluation system that could run and automate thousands of projects throughout the year, helping it to manage the typical seasonal surges that most apparel companies experience. Under Armour built and began to manage its team of over 10,000 wear-testers through the Qualtrics XM Platform. After Under Armour product teams enter new projects into the platform, Qualtrics automatically identifies the right testers to send the products to, narrowing the database based on details like running miles per week, hours of activity, and surface conditions experienced by each product-tester. Through an API-based integration with FedEx, Qualtrics makes it easy to ship product directly to appropriate testers. These testers then provide detailed product feedback at defined milestones through a variety of formats, including structured questions, heat map images, hot spots, open text, and video and image uploads. Using Qualtrics, Under Armour reports out and distributes real-time evaluation data, providing relevant views of product health and issues with automated custom report templates for different members of cross-functional teams like development, design, and marketing.
Results:
As a result of its implementation of Qualtrics Product Testing platform, Under Armour has achieved the following results:
Grew its product-tester database from approximately 100 to over 10,000 vetted, dedicated athletes from 2017 to 2018.
Created a detail-rich database of athletes (including details such as level of skill, surfaces played on, frequency of product wash, etc.) to scale a detailed, context-specific testing program which enables Under Armour to get the right product to the right product-tester.
Evaluated over 2,000 products in less than one year through the ease and speed of the Qualtrics Product Testing platform, enabling the automation of the complete product testing process.
Introduced cross-functional teams across Under Armour to a more detailed and data-driven decision-making process by focusing on in-depth feedback in the moment.
Under Armour was able to realize faster time to failure through real time access to specific and timely tester feedback, helping it to improve or cut potentially under performing products.
Created an efficient, single system for a global team to manage the testing process, engage testers, and deliver insights throughout the company.

Volkswagen Group Australia
Volkswagen Group is a multinational automobile manufacturer headquartered in Wolfsburg, Germany and is currently the world’s third largest car maker by volume.
Situation:
In 2016, Volkswagen Group Australia , or Volkswagen, was looking to increase customer loyalty across its dealership network. To accomplish this goal, it wanted an experience management platform that could help fuel an innovative CX program in the sales and post-sales process. It also knew that the key to providing a superior CX was to engage frontline employees, so it looked for a technology platform that could integrate insights and drive action across both CX and EX programs.
Qualtrics Solution & Benefits:
In 2016, to support this effort, Volkswagen selected Qualtrics to power its new CX program. Using Qualtrics, Volkswagen was able to solicit feedback from customers who had had a recent interaction with a dealership. Based on customer feedback, Volkswagen was able to trigger automatic and personalized alerts to dealership salespeople and managers-providing thousands of employees access to real-time dashboards to monitor daily performance and built-in tools to take action and drive accountability. These dashboards have become critical to all dealership employees, as Volkswagen directly ties incentives to CX metrics.
In 2017, Volkswagen added the Qualtrics EX solution. Now, Volkswagen collects experience data from dealership employees to evaluate their engagement level, assess their likelihood to remain at Volkswagen, and understand the drivers behind why they might stay or leave. The integration of the CX and EX solutions allows Volkswagen to collect data into a single system and better understand the holistic experience each dealership provides.
Through Qualtrics, Volkswagen ran analyses of both customer and employee experience data to identify opportunities for action. These insights served to drive changes such as improvements to customer service training, communications, and dealership layout design.
Results:
As a result of its implementation of the Qualtrics XM Platform, Volkswagen has achieved the following results:
Certain dealerships experienced improvements of up to 20 points in NPS (Volkswagen’s largest increase in NPS in 15 years).
A 9% average reduction in employee churn across all dealerships resulting in an estimated $10 to $15 million in savings from reduced hiring costs.
Volkswagen’s top 10 performing dealerships measured by employee advocacy and NPS have become the top 10 most profitable dealers in the Volkswagen Australia dealer network.
Volkswagen has achieved its best ever results in Australia’s national industry panel on customer satisfaction.
Volkswagen has won a number of awards for its innovation in customer and employee experience, including best use of experience management technology by leveraging the Qualtrics XM Platform.
1-800 CONTACTS
1-800 CONTACTS is an American contact lens retailer headquartered in Draper, Utah. It is one of the largest online retailers of contact lenses in the United States with annual net sales of over $250 million.
Situation:
The consumer market for contact lenses has seen greater competition for market share over the last 15 years with the growth of multi-brand optical brick and mortar stores and the surge in online retailers. However, this market has

Table of Contents

few consolidated sources for accurate market data and trends. In order to understand its position within this constantly shifting landscape, 1-800 CONTACTS needed regular access to robust market, customer, and brand research and tracking. For years, 1-800 CONTACTS relied on third-party market and consumer research providers, but realized limited value from these studies. This approach did not provide 1-800 CONTACTS the information it needed to be able to develop and implement the agile strategy to compete in its evolving market.
Qualtrics Solution & Benefits:
In order to build a robust and continuous source of consumer insights within its budget, 1-800 CONTACTS recognized that it needed to bring key elements of its market, customer and brand research in-house.
1-800 CONTACTS deployed Qualtrics in 2013 for implementation of a post-transactional NPS and customer satisfaction scores, or CSAT, tracking program to understand how well it was meeting its customers’ expectations. Impressed by the number of actionable insights, 1-800 CONTACTS worked with Qualtrics to implement a triggering system that would identify detractors in real time based on low scores and negative sentiment from open-text responses. This system was integrated into 1-800 CONTACTS’ custom call-center application so that dedicated agents would receive alerts and then reach out directly to these customers for resolution. This has become a key part of 1-800 CONTACTS’ customer satisfaction program. Customer comments from the Qualtrics’ platform were also displayed in high-traffic areas in 1-800 CONTACTS headquarters to reinforce a customer-centric culture.
In 2015, recognizing the value of faster access to insights, 1-800 CONTACTS extended its implementation of the Qualtrics XM Platform to include an NPS tracker and dashboards. With this addition, key 1-800 CONTACTS stakeholders across marketing, operations, and distribution had their fingers on the pulse of customer experiences. 1-800 CONTACTS then ran monthly analyses and action-planning to address opportunities for improving CSAT.
Focused on its brand within the changing market, 1-800 CONTACTS worked with Qualtrics to implement a highly robust brand tracker and dashboard in 2016. The tracker measures the brand’s relative equity in the market and is robust enough to report out statistically significant results by various segments.
1-800 CONTACTS has also run multiple key strategic research projects through Qualtrics’ Research on Demand. Specifically, it has measured consumer perceptions, appetite and consideration for new products, services, and technology such as remote eye exams, private label lenses, and subscription order and payment plans. Results from these projects have informed major pivots for the 1-800 CONTACTS business.
Results:
As a result of its implementation of the Qualtrics XM Platform, 1-800 CONTACTS has achieved the following results:
A significant increase in NPS by directly addressing root cause issues identified through use of the XM Platform.
Definition of customer buyer segments - where message testing revealed opportunity to improve average order size by 2-3%.
The transition from manual monthly voice of the customer reporting to XM Platform and its integrated dashboards saves two weeks per month of dedicated analyst time now spent on root cause analyses and data deep dives.
Identification of optimal product delivery times led to the revision of distribution center locations, improved delivery times, and less delivery costs.
Successfully launched online eye exams, remote eye testing, and a subscription-based model based on Qualtrics’ Research on Demand insights. These business changes directly addressed customer needs in areas where 1-800 CONTACTS was losing market share.

Savings of more than $250,000 per year in research costs through in-house deployment of research compared to the use of third party vendors.
Sales, Customer Success, and Marketing
Our go-to-market efforts are centered on landing and expanding subscriptions to our XM Platform as well as driving use of our Research on Demand solution.
We primarily generate sales through our direct sales team, which includes both inside sales personnel and field sales. All sales personnel focus on attracting new customers as well as expanding usage within our existing customer base. We also make it easy for users and organizations to sign up for free trials on our website, which can be converted to paid subscriptions. Our sales team is supported by technical sales professionals and subject-matter experts who facilitate the sales process through developing and presenting demonstrations of our XM Platform after assessing requirements, addressing security and technical questions, and matching customer needs with the appropriate Qualtrics solutions. We also have a team of solution experts who help advise on best practices and methodologies, assist with program design, and provide assistance as required through customer launch to accelerate time to value.
Our customer success team complements our sales team by consulting with our customers and helping drive adoption, subscription renewal, expansion to additional use cases, and customer value.
Our marketing efforts are focused on generating awareness of our XM Platform, creating sales leads, establishing and promoting our brand, and cultivating a community of loyal customers and users. We utilize both online and offline marketing initiatives, including user conferences (such as our annual X4 Summit), online advertising, webinars, blogs, corporate communications, white papers and case studies. We also engage frequently with technology analyst firms, such as Forrester Research, to educate them as to the benefits of our platform and accelerate the maturation of an appropriate market category.
We have also developed go-to-market partnerships with a number of key technology, system integrator, and consultant and content partners. These partners provide introductions to potential customers, validate our solutions and in some cases provide professional services related to our platform. We anticipate that we will continue to develop a select number of third party relationships to help grow our business.
Customer Support
Our customer support team resolves technical and operational issues for our customers, if and when such issues arise. Our team consists of full-time employees, who are available 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.
Professional Services
Our professional services team provides our customers with implementation, training, and similar services to help them realize the full benefits of our XM Platform. Our training programs include a mix of virtual and in-person offerings with different options focused either on helping onboard teams of users quickly or helping individuals achieve certification level subject matter expertise. Our team works closely with our partners and enables them to deploy our solutions. By working with these partners, we both augment our pipeline and our ability to scale globally by size and complexity of deployment.
Research and Development
Our ability to compete depends in large part on our continuous commitment to research and development and our ability to rapidly introduce new technologies, features and functionality. Our research and development organization is responsible for the design, architecture, testing, and quality of our platform. We focus our efforts on developing our core technologies and further enhancing their usability, functionality, reliability, performance, and flexibility.
As a company, we prioritize research and development and attempt to foster creativity and autonomy in our engineering teams. Research and development expenses were $22.3 million, $40.7 million, and $28.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017 and the six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively.

Competition
Experience management is a new and rapidly developing software category. We do not believe that any of our competitors currently offer a full suite of experience management solutions that effectively competes with the full functionality of our XM Platform. However, certain features of our platform compete in certain segments of the overall experience management market. Our main competitors fall into the following categories:
Providers of software for specific use cases, such as Medallia for customer experience;
Traditional professional and marketing research services firms, such as Aon Hewitt and Towers Watson; and
Individual-focused and self-service survey tools, such as SurveyMonkey.
We believe that the principal competitive factors in our markets include the following:
Product features, quality, functionality, and design;
Ease of deployment and use;
Market vision and pace of product innovation;
Security and privacy;
Overall platform experience;
Third party integrations;
Pricing and total cost of ownership;
Brand awareness and reputation;
Accessibility across several devices, operating systems, and applications;
Strength of sales and marketing efforts; and
Customer support.
We believe we compete favorably across these factors. However, some of our competitors and potential competitors are larger and have greater brand name recognition, longer operating histories, larger marketing budgets and established marketing relationships, access to larger customer bases and significantly greater resources for the development of their offerings. Moreover, because our market is new and rapidly developing, it is possible that new entrants, especially those with substantial resources, more efficient operating models, more rapid technology and content development cycles or lower marketing costs, could introduce new products and services that disrupt our market and better address the needs of our customers and potential customers. See the section titled “Risk Factors—The software category in which we participate is new and rapidly changing, and if we do not compete effectively, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be harmed” for additional information.
Intellectual Property
We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws in the United States and other jurisdictions, as well as license agreements and other contractual provisions, to protect our proprietary technology. We also rely on a number of international and domestic registered, pending and common law trademarks to protect our brand.
As of September 30, 2018, we had 121 registered trademarks and 64 pending trademark applications worldwide.
As of September 30, 2018, we had 27 issued utility patents in the United States, which expire between November 10, 2024 and March 5, 2036; 2 issued design patents in the United States, which expire on January 3, 2031 and April


123


Table of Contents

11, 2031, respectively; 42 United States non-provisional patent applications pending, including one allowed United States patent application; and two PCT patent applications pending.
In addition, we seek to protect our intellectual property rights by requiring 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.
Despite our efforts to protect our technology and proprietary rights through intellectual property rights, licenses and other contractual protections, unauthorized parties may still copy or otherwise obtain and use our software and other technology. In addition, we intend to continue to expand our international operations, and effective patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret and other intellectual property protection may not be available or may be limited in foreign countries. Any significant impairment of our intellectual property rights could harm our business or our ability to compete. Further, many companies in the communications and technology industries own large numbers of patents, copyrights and trademarks and may threaten litigation or file suit against us based on allegations of infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights. We are currently subject to, and expect to face in the future, allegations that we have infringed the intellectual property rights of third parties. See the section titled “Risk Factors—We may be sued by third parties for alleged infringement or misappropriation of their proprietary rights” for additional information.
Our Employees
As of September 30, 2018, we had 1,866 full-time employees. We also engage contractors and consultants from time to time. We have not experienced any work stoppages, and we believe that our employee relations are good.
Our Facilities
Our corporate headquarters is located in Provo, Utah, and consists of approximately 165,000 square feet of space pursuant to a lease that expires in 2025. Our second largest office is in Seattle, Washington, and consists of approximately 45,000 square feet of space pursuant to a lease that expires in 2021. We maintain additional offices in multiple locations in the United States and internationally in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Japan, Poland, Singapore, and the United Kingdom. We lease all of our facilities, except that we own one office building in Provo, Utah consisting of approximately 39,000 square feet. We intend to procure additional space in the future as we continue to add employees and expand geographically. We believe our facilities are adequate and suitable for our current needs and that, should it be needed, suitable additional or alternative space will be available to accommodate our operations.
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we may be subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. We are not presently a party to any legal proceedings that, if determined adversely to us, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. We have received, and may in the future continue to receive, claims from third parties asserting, among other things, infringement of their intellectual property rights. Future litigation may be necessary to defend ourselves, our partners and our customers by determining the scope, enforceability and validity of third party proprietary rights, or to establish our proprietary rights. The results of any current or future litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

Board of Directors
Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of our board of directors. Our board of directors consists of nine directors, six of whom qualify as “independent” under the listing standards of Nasdaq.
Pursuant to our current certificate of incorporation and amended and restated voting agreement, (i) holders of Series B-1 redeemable convertible preferred stock are entitled to elect two directors, one of which shall be nominated

by Accel Growth Fund II L.P., or Accel, and one of which shall be nominated by Sequoia Capital U.S. Growth Fund V, L.P., or Sequoia Capital, (ii) holders of Series A-1, Series A-2 and Series A-3 redeemable convertible preferred stock are entitled to elect six directors, (iii) holders of Series B-2 and Series B-4 redeemable convertible preferred stock are entitled to elect one director, to be nominated by Insight Venture Partners VIII, L.P., or Insight Venture Partners, and (iv) certain holders of preferred stock and common stock, voting together, are entitled to elect the remaining directors who shall be approved by the other members of the Board. Accordingly, our current directors were elected as follows:

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.
Classified Board
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. Our current directors will be divided among the three classes as follows:
the Class I directors will be Messrs. S. Smith, Lieberman, and Sweeney, and their terms will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2019;
the Class II directors will be Messrs. Schreier and J. Smith, and Ms. Scott, and their terms will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2020; and
the Class III directors will be Messrs. R. Smith, Demo, and Thompson, and their terms will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2021.
Upon expiration of the term of a class of directors, directors for that class will be elected for three-year terms at the annual meeting of stockholders in the year in which that term expires. As a result, only one class of directors will be elected at each annual meeting of our stockholders, with the other classes continuing for the remainder of their respective three-year terms. Each director’s term continues until the election and qualification of his or her successor, or his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.
So long as our board of directors is classified, only our board of directors may fill vacancies on our board. 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 the total number of directors.
The classification of our board of directors may have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in our control or management. See the section titled “Description of Capital Stock—Anti-Takeover Provisions—Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaw Provisions.”

Director Independence
Our board of directors has undertaken a review of the independence of each director. Based on information provided by each director concerning his or her background, employment and affiliations, our board of directors has determined that Messrs. Demo, Lieberman, Schreier, Sweeney and Thompson and Ms. Scott do not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director and that each of these directors is “independent” as that term is defined under the listing standards of Nasdaq. In making these determinations, our board of directors considered the current and prior relationships that each non-employee director has with our company and all other facts and circumstances our board of directors deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by each non-employee director, and the transactions involving them described in the section titled “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions.”
Committees of the Board of Directors
Our board of directors has established an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee. The composition and responsibilities of each of the committees of our board of directors is described below. Members will serve on these committees until their resignation or until as otherwise determined by our board of directors.
Audit Committee
Our audit committee consists of  Messrs. Demo, Thompsonand Lieberman, with Mr. Demo serving as Chairman. Each member of our audit committee meets the requirements for independence under the listing standards of Nasdaq and SEC rules and regulations. Each member of our audit committee also meets the financial literacy and sophistication requirements of the listing standards of Nasdaq. In addition, our board of directors has determined that Mr. Demo is an audit committee financial expert within the meaning of Item 407(d) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act. We intend to comply with the listing requirements of Nasdaq regarding the composition of our audit committee within the transition period for newly public companies. Following the completion of this offering, our audit committee will, among other things:
select a qualified firm to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm to audit our financial statements;
help to ensure the independence and performance of the independent registered public accounting firm;
discuss the scope and results of the audit with the independent registered public accounting firm, and review, with management and the independent registered public accounting firm, our interim and year-end results of operations;
develop procedures for employees to submit concerns anonymously about questionable accounting or audit matters;
review our policies on risk assessment and risk management;
review related party transactions; and
approve or, as required, pre-approve, all audit and all permissible non-audit services, other than de minimis non-audit services, to be performed by the independent registered public accounting firm.
Our audit committee operates under a written charter that satisfies the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the listing standards of Nasdaq.
Compensation Committee
Our compensation committee consists of  Messrs. Schreier and Sweeney, and Ms. Scott, with Mr. Schreier serving as Chairman. Each member of our compensation committee meets the requirements for independence under the listing standards of Nasdaq and SEC rules and regulations. Each member of our compensation committee is also a non-

employee director, as defined pursuant to Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, or Rule 16b-3. Following the completion of this offering, our compensation committee will, among other things:
review, approve and determine, or make recommendations to our board of directors regarding, the compensation of our executive officers;
administer our equity compensation plans;
review and approve, or make recommendations to our board of directors, regarding incentive compensation and equity compensation plans; and
establish and review general policies relating to compensation and benefits of our employees.
Our compensation committee operates under a written charter that satisfies the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the listing standards of Nasdaq.
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
Our nominating and governance committee consists of Mr. Thompson and Ms. Scott, with Mr. Thompson serving as Chairman. Each member of our nominating and governance committee meets the requirements for independence under the listing standards of Nasdaq and SEC rules and regulations. Following the completion of this offering, our nominating and corporate governance committee will, among other things:
identify, evaluate and select, or make recommendations to our board of directors regarding, nominees for election to our board of directors and its committees;
evaluate the performance of our board of directors and of individual directors;
consider and make recommendations to our board of directors regarding the composition of our board of directors and its committees;
review developments in corporate governance practices;
evaluate the adequacy of our corporate governance practices and reporting; and
develop and make recommendations to our board of directors regarding corporate governance guidelines and matters.
Our nominating and corporate governance committee operates under a written charter that satisfies the applicable listing standards of Nasdaq.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
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. See the section titled “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions” for information about related party transactions involving members of our compensation committee or their affiliates.
Non-Employee Director Compensation
The following table presents the total compensation for each person who served as a non-employee member of our board of directors during 2017. Other than as set forth in the table and described more fully below, we did not pay any compensation, make any equity awards or non-equity awards to, or pay any other compensation to any of the non-employee members of our board of directors in 2017. However, directors may be reimbursed for travel, food, lodging and other expenses directly related to their activities as directors. Non-employee directors affiliated with Accel, Sequoia Capital, and Insight Venture Partners, including Messrs. Sweeney, Schreier, and Lieberman, did not receive

compensation from us for their service as directors. In addition, directors who also serve as employees receive no additional compensation for their service as directors. Accordingly, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, Mr. Ryan Smith, our Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Jared Smith, our President, were members of our board of directors, as well as employees, and thus received no additional compensation for their service as directors. Additionally, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, Mr. Scott Smith, a member of our board of directors, received no additional compensation for his service as a director. See the section titled “Executive Compensation” for more information about Mr. Ryan Smith’s compensation for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017.

Mr. Demo joined our board of directors in February 2017. In connection with Mr. Demo’s service on our board of directors, on February 16, 2017 we granted Mr. Demo RSUs for 460,000 shares of Class B common stock. Such RSUs vest upon the satisfaction of both a service-based condition and a liquidity-based vesting condition. The service-based condition shall be satisfied in four equal annual installments commencing upon the first anniversary of January 1, 2017. The liquidity-based vesting condition for such award is the earlier to occur of (i) a Sale Event or (ii) the consummation of our initial public offering, which will be satisfied upon the effectiveness of this offering. In the case of a Sale Event, the service-based condition shall accelerate and vest in full. As of December 31, 2017, Mr. Demo held 460,000 unvested RSUs.
(4)
Ms. Scott joined our board of directors in 2015. In connection with Ms. Scott’s service on our board of directors, on October 22, 2015, we granted Ms. Scott RSUs for 380,000 shares of Class B common stock. Such RSUs vest upon the satisfaction of a liquidity-based vesting condition. The liquidity-based vesting condition for such award is the earlier to occur of (i) a Sale Event (as defined in the 2014 Plan) or (ii) the consummation of our initial public offering, which will be satisfied upon the effectiveness of this offering. As of December 31, 2017, Ms. Scott held 380,000 unvested RSUs.

Prior to this offering, we did not have a formal policy or plan to compensate our non-employee directors. Immediately prior to the completion of this offering, we intend to implement a formal policy pursuant to which our non-employee directors will be eligible to receive the following cash retainers and equity awards:

Our policy will provide that, on the date of each of our annual meetings of stockholders following the completion of this offering, each non-employee director who is re-elected to or is continuing on our board of directors after the annual meeting will be granted a restricted stock unit award having an aggregate grant date fair value of $185,000, or the Annual Grant. In addition, upon initial election to our board of directors, each new non-employee director will be granted a prorated Annual Grant, or the Initial Grant. The Initial Grant and Annual Grant will vest in full on the earlier of (i) the anniversary of the grant date or (ii) our next annual meeting of stockholders, subject to continued service as a director through the applicable vesting date. The Initial Grant and the Annual Grant will vest in full upon a Sale Event, as defined in the 2018 Plan.
Employee directors will receive no additional compensation for their service as a director.
We will reimburse all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by directors for their attendance at meetings of our board of directors or any committee thereof.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Overview
The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that are based on our current plans, considerations, expectations, and determinations regarding future compensation programs. The actual amount and form of compensation and the compensation policies and practices that we adopt in the future may differ materially from currently planned programs as summarized in this discussion.
As an emerging growth company, we have opted to comply with the executive compensation disclosure rules applicable to “smaller reporting companies,” as such term is defined in the rules promulgated under the Securities Act. This section provides an overview of the compensation provided to our named executive officers for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, and is detailed in the 2017 Summary Compensation Table and accompanying footnotes and narrative that follow.
Our named executive officers in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, which consisted of our Chief Executive Officer and our two most highly compensated executive officers other than our Chief Executive Officer, were:
Ryan Smith, our Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer;
David Faugno, our Chief Financial Officer; and
Zig Serafin, our Chief Operating Officer.
Our executive compensation program is based on a pay for performance philosophy. Compensation for our executive officers is composed primarily of the following main components: base salary; bonus; and equity incentives in the form of RSUs and stock options. Our executive officers, like all full-time employees, are eligible to participate in our health and welfare benefit plans. As we transition from a private company to a publicly traded company, we intend to evaluate our compensation philosophy and compensation plans and arrangements as circumstances require.

Narrative to Summary Compensation Table
Base Salaries
For the year ended December 31, 2017, the annual base salaries for each of Messrs. Smith, Faugno, and Serafin were $100,000, $400,000, and $500,000, respectively. As of September 2018, the annual base salary for Mr. Smith was increased to $500,000.
Annual Bonuses
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, we maintained a Shared Performance Bonus Plan, or the 2017 Bonus Plan. Each of our named executive officers (other than Mr. Smith) was eligible to receive an annual bonus based on our achievement of certain performance goals, consisting of bookings, renewal rate and free cash flow. For 2017, the target annual bonuses for Messrs. Faugno and Serafin were equal to $100,000 and $300,000, respectively. Based on the Company’s achievement of the relevant performance goals under the 2017 Bonus Plan, our compensation committee determined that the bonuses would be paid at 124.25% of target for each of Messrs. Faugno and Serafin (with Mr. Faugno’s bonus prorated to reflect his partial year of employment). Mr. Smith also received a discretionary holiday bonus of $15,000.
Equity Compensation
Although we do not have a formal policy with respect to the grant of equity incentive awards to our executive officers, we believe that equity grants provide our executives with a strong link to our long-term performance, create an ownership culture and help to align the interests of our executives and our stockholders. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, we granted RSUs and options to purchase shares of our common stock to Mr. Faugno in connection with his commencement of employment with us and as shown in more detail in the “Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal 2017 Year-End” table.
2018 Equity Awards
Founder Restricted Stock Unit Grants
In September 2018, the Company’s board of directors approved co-founder equity grants to Messrs. Ryan Smith and Jared Smith. These are the first equity grants offered to the founders in the history of the company. The grants issued are a mix of time-based grants and performance grants based upon the future success of the company. The grant includes RSUs with respect to 22,500,000 shares of Class B common stock in the aggregate, or, collectively, the Founder Grants, of which 18 million RSUs were granted to Mr. Ryan Smith, our co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, and 4.5 million RSUs were granted to Mr. Jared Smith, our co-founder and President. Subject to satisfaction of a liquidity-based vesting condition, 50 percent of the Founder Grants vest upon the satisfaction of a service condition, or the Founder Time Grants, and 50 percent of the Founder Grants vest upon the satisfaction of a service condition and achievement of certain stock price goals, or the Founder Performance Grants, each as described below. The liquidity-based vesting condition for each Founder Grant is the earlier to occur of (i) a Sale Event (as defined in our 2014 Plan) or (ii) the consummation of our initial public offering, which will be satisfied upon the effectiveness of this offering.
The Founder Time Grants satisfy the service condition over the five year period following August 1, 2018, with the initial 20% satisfying the service condition on August 1, 2019 and the remaining 80% satisfying the service condition in sixteen equal quarterly installments thereafter.

The Founder Performance Grants are eligible to vest over the five-year period following August 1, 2018. The Founder Grants comprise five tranches that are eligible to vest upon the first applicable vesting date, or Vesting Date, to occur following the achievement of specified stock price goals, or each, a Stock Price Target, measured as a ninety-day rolling average trading price at any time during the 12-month period prior to a Vesting Date as follows:

*The Stock Price Targets will be adjusted to reflect any stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, reorganizations, reclassifications, or similar event.
Further, the founders will only vest in the Founder Grants if they continue as Chief Executive Officer or Executive Chairman, with respect to Mr. Ryan Smith, and as a member of the senior management team, with respect to Mr. Jared Smith, at the time a Vesting Date occurs, or the Executive Service Requirement. Upon a founder’s no longer satisfying the Executive Service Requirement, any unvested portion of the Founder Grants will terminate and be canceled. In the event of a Sale Event, any tranche(s) of shares related to the Founder Performance Grants shall vest if the per share deal price of the acquisition exceeds the Stock Price Target for that tranche. In addition, upon a Sale Event, 50 percent of any then-unvested portion of the Founder Time Grants will vest in full.
Other Named Executive Officer Awards
In September 2018, the Company’s board of directors approved an RSU award to Mr. Faugno with respect to 883,500 shares of Class B common stock. If this offering is completed, the RSU award will first begin vesting (subject to a continuing service condition) on January 1, 2022 as to 12.5% of the award, and in seven equal quarterly installments of 12.5% of the award thereafter. In October 2018, the Company’s board of directors also approved an option award to Mr. Faugno with respect to 662,625 shares of Class B common stock. The option award will first begin vesting (subject to a continuing service condition) in 48 equal monthly installments on October 1, 2018. In the case of a Sale Event, if the awards are not assumed, continued or otherwise substituted, they will vest in full. If the awards are assumed, continued, or otherwise substituted in a Sale Event, and if Mr. Faugno’s employment is terminated without Cause or Mr. Faugno resigns for Good Reason (in each case, as defined in Mr. Faugno’s offer letter) on or within 12 months following such Sale Event, then the awards will vest in full. If the awards are assumed, continued or otherwise substituted in a Sale Event, and Mr. Faugno’s employment is terminated without Cause or he resigns for Good Reason at any time that is either (1) more than 12 months after a Sale Event or (2) after both Ryan Smith and Jared Smith cease to be in senior executive positions with the Company, then, 50% of the unvested portions of the awards will vest. The foregoing acceleration terms, or the Faugno Acceleration Terms, also apply to Mr. Faugno’s equity awards that were granted to him on November 15, 2017 in connection with his joining the Company.

All of the awards listed in the table above were granted under our 2014 Plan, the terms of which are described below under “-Employee Benefits and Stock Plans.”
(2)
All awards in this column are RSUs that will settle into shares of Class B common stock upon vesting. RSUs issued to our executive officers only vest upon the satisfaction of both a service-based condition and a liquidity-based vesting condition. The service-based condition for each award is described below. The liquidity-based vesting condition for each award is the earlier to occur of (i) a Sale Event (as defined in our 2014 Plan) or (ii) the consummation of our initial public offering, which will be satisfied upon the effectiveness of this offering.
(3)
The shares of Class B common stock underlying this option vest and become exercisable over a four-year period as to 25% of the Class B common stock underlying the option on the first anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date and as to 75% of the shares of Class B common stock underlying the option in 12 equal quarterly installments thereafter, subject to Mr. Faugno’s continued service through each vesting date. If Mr. Faugno’s employment terminates without Cause or for Good Reason (in each case, as defined in Mr. Faugno’s offer letter), and such termination occurs within 12 months of a Sale Event, then the option shall accelerate and vest in full. If Mr. Faugno’s employment terminates without Cause or for Good Reason, and such termination is not within the 12-month period following a sale event, then (i) if such termination occurs prior to the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date, then the option shall accelerate and vest as if Mr. Faugno had remained employed through the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date and (ii) if such termination occurs following the 12-month anniversary of the vesting commencement date, then the option shall accelerate and vest as if Mr. Faugno had completed an additional three months of service. In October 2018, the Company determined that the Faugno Acceleration Terms would apply to this award in lieu of the immediately preceding sentence.
(4)
The service-based condition shall be satisfied as to 25% of the RSUs on the first anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date, and the remaining RSUs shall satisfy the service-based condition in 12 equal quarterly installments thereafter, subject to Mr. Faugno’s continued service through each vesting date. If Mr. Faugno’s employment terminates without Cause or for Good Reason (in each case, as defined in Mr. Faugno’s offer letter), and such termination occurs within 12 months of a Sale Event, then the service-based vesting condition shall be satisfied in full. If Mr. Faugno’s employment terminates without Cause or for Good Reason, and such termination is not within the 12-month period following a Sale Event, then (i) if such termination occurs prior to the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date, then the RSUs shall satisfy the service-based condition as if Mr. Faugno had remained employed through the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date and (ii) if such termination occurs following the 12-month anniversary of the vesting commencement date, then the RSUs shall satisfy the service-based condition as if Mr. Faugno had completed an additional three months of service. In September 2018, the Company determined that the Faugno Acceleration Terms would apply to this award in lieu of the immediately preceding sentence.
(5)
The market value set forth above reflects the fair market value of our Class B common stock of $6.65 per share as of December 31, 2017 multiplied by the number of unvested RSUs outstanding as of December 31, 2017.
(6)
The service-based condition shall be satisfied as to 1/6th of the RSUs on the first anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date, and the remaining RSUs shall satisfy the service-based condition in 20 equal quarterly installments thereafter, subject to Mr. Serafin’s continued service through each vesting date. If Mr. Serafin’s employment terminates without Cause or for Good

Reason (in each case, as defined in Mr. Serafin’s offer letter), and such termination occurs within 12 months of a Sale Event, then the time-based vesting condition shall be deemed satisfied in full. If Mr. Serafin’s employment terminates without Cause or for Good Reason, and such termination is not within the 12-month period following a Sale Event, then 50% of the RSUs shall be deemed to have satisfied the service-based condition.

The service-based condition shall be satisfied as to 50% of the RSUs on the first anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date, and the remaining RSUs shall satisfy the service-based condition in 4 equal quarterly installments thereafter, subject to Mr. Serafin’s continued service through each vesting date. If Mr. Serafin’s employment terminates without Cause or for Good Reason (in each case, as defined in Mr. Serafin’s offer letter), and such termination occurs within 12 months of a Sale Event, then the time-based vesting condition shall be deemed satisfied in full. If Mr. Serafin’s employment terminates without Cause or for Good Reason, and such termination is not within the 12-month period following a Sale Event, then 50% of the RSUs shall be deemed to have satisfied the service-based condition.
Executive Employment Arrangements
Executive Employment Arrangements
We initially entered into offer letters with each of the named executive officers, except for Ryan Smith, in connection with his or her employment with us, which set forth the terms and conditions of employment of each individual, including base salary, target annual bonus opportunity and standard employee benefit plan participation. In addition, certain of these offer letters provided for certain payments and benefits in the event of an involuntary termination of employment following a change in control of the company. We have also entered into employment agreements that contain standard confidentiality, intellectual property assignment, and non-competition and non-solicitation restrictions.

The offer letter provided for Mr. Faugno’s at will employment and set forth his initial annual base salary and target bonus, as well as his eligibility to participate in our benefit plans generally. In addition, the offer letter provided for an initial grant of 1,650,000 RSUs and 1,030,000 stock options, both of which vest over a 4-year period with a one year cliff and quarterly vesting thereafter.

Employee Benefits and Stock Plans
2018 Stock Option and Incentive Plan
Our 2018 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, or the 2018 Plan, has been adopted by our board of directors and is expected to be approved by our stockholders and will become effective the day before the date that the registration statement of which this prospectus is part is declared effective by the SEC. The 2018 Plan will replace the 2014 Stock Option and Grant Plan, as amended, or the 2014 Plan, as our board of directors is expected to determine not to make additional awards under the 2014 Plan following the completion of our initial public offering. However, the 2014 Plan will continue to govern outstanding equity awards granted thereunder. The 2018 Plan will allow the compensation committee to make equity-based incentive awards to our officers, employees, directors, and other key persons, including consultants.
Authorized Shares.    We will initially reserve           shares of our Class B common stock for the issuance of awards under the 2018 Plan, or the Initial Limit. The 2018 Plan will provide that the number of shares reserved and available for issuance under the 2018 Plan will automatically increase each January 1, beginning on January 1, 2019, and ending on (and including) January 1, 2028 by 5% of the outstanding number of shares of our Class B and Class A common stock on the immediately preceding December 31 or such lesser number of shares as determined by our compensation committee, which increase is referred to as the Annual Increase. This number will be subject to adjustment in the event of a stock split, stock dividend or other change in our capitalization. The shares we issue under the 2018 Plan will be authorized but unissued shares or shares that we reacquire. The shares of Class B common stock underlying any awards that are forfeited, canceled, held back upon exercise or settlement of an award to satisfy the exercise price or tax withholding, reacquired by us prior to vesting, satisfied without the issuance of stock, expire or are otherwise terminated, other than by exercise, under the 2018 Plan and the 2014 Plan will be added back to the shares of Class B common stock available for issuance under the 2018 Plan. The maximum number of shares that may be issued as incentive stock options may not exceed the sum of the Initial Limit plus the lesser of the amount added to the share reserve pursuant to the Annual Increase each year or shares, if lower, for each year during which the Annual Increase applies. Accordingly, the maximum number of shares that may be issued as incentive stock options may not exceed the sum of the Initial Limit plus shares. The value of all awards issued under the 2018 Plan and all other cash compensation paid by us to any non-employee director in any calendar year cannot exceed $1,000,000.
Administration.    The 2018 Plan will be administered by our compensation committee. Our compensation committee will have full power to select, from among the individuals eligible for awards, the individuals to whom awards will be granted, to make any combination of awards to participants, and to determine the specific terms and conditions of each award, subject to the provisions of the 2018 Plan.
Eligibility.    Persons eligible to participate in the 2018 Plan will be those full or part-time officers, employees, non-employee directors and other key persons, including consultants, as selected from time to time by our compensation committee in its discretion.
Options.    The 2018 Plan will permit the granting of both options to purchase Class B common stock intended to qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code and options that do not so qualify. The option exercise price of each option will be determined by our compensation committee but may not, generally, be less than 100% of the fair market value of our Class B common stock on the date of grant. The term of each option will be fixed by our compensation committee and may not exceed 10 years from the date of grant. Our compensation committee will determine at what time or times each option may be exercised.
Stock Appreciation Rights.    Our compensation committee will be able to award stock appreciation rights subject to such conditions and restrictions as it may determine. Stock appreciation rights entitle the recipient to shares of Class B common stock, or cash, equal to the value of the appreciation in our stock price over the exercise price. The exercise price may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of our Class B common stock on the date of grant. The term of each stock appreciation right will be fixed by our compensation committee and may not exceed 10 years from the date of grant. Our compensation committee will determine at what time or times each stock appreciation right may be exercised.

Table of Contents

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units.    Our compensation committee will be able to award restricted shares of Class B common stock and RSUs to participants subject to such conditions and restrictions as it may determine. These conditions and restrictions may include the achievement of certain performance goals and/or continued employment with us through a specified vesting period.
Unrestricted Stock Awards.    Our compensation committee will also be able to grant shares of Class B common stock that are free from any restrictions under the 2018 Plan. Unrestricted stock may be granted to participants in recognition of past services or for other valid consideration and may be issued in lieu of cash compensation due to such participant.
Dividend Equivalent Rights.    Our compensation committee will be able to grant dividend equivalent rights to participants that entitle the recipient to receive credits for dividends that would be paid if the recipient had held a specified number of shares of Class B common stock.
Cash-Based Awards.    Our compensation committee will be able to grant cash bonuses under the 2018 Plan to participants, subject to the achievement of certain performance goals.
Sale Event.    The 2018 Plan will provide that upon the effectiveness of a “sale event,” as defined in the 2018 Plan, an acquirer or successor entity may assume, continue or substitute for the outstanding awards under the 2018 Plan. To the extent that awards granted under the 2018 Plan are not assumed or continued or substituted by the successor entity, all awards granted under the 2018 Plan shall terminate. In such case, except as may be otherwise provided in the relevant award agreement, all options and stock appreciation rights with time-based vesting,conditions or restrictions that are not vested and/or exercisable immediately prior to the sale event will become fully vested and exercisable as of the sale event, all other awards with time-based vesting, conditions or restrictions will become fully vested and nonforfeitable as of the sale event, and all awards with conditions and restrictions relating to the attainment of performance goals may become vested and nonforfeitable in connection with the sale event in the plan administrator’s discretion or to the extent specified in the relevant award agreement. In the event of such termination, individuals holding options and stock appreciation rights may be permitted to exercise such options and stock appreciation rights (to the extent exercisable) prior to the sale event or alternatively, we may make or provide for a payment to participants holding exercisable options and stock appreciation rights equal to the difference between the per share consideration payable to stockholders in the sale event and the exercise price of the options or stock appreciation rights. The Company may also elect to provide for payment in cash or in kind to holders of other awards equal to the per share consideration payable to stockholders in the sale event multiplied by the number of shares subject to the stock awards.
Amendment.    Our board of directors will be able to amend or discontinue the 2018 Plan and our compensation committee will be able to amend or cancel outstanding awards for purposes of satisfying changes in law or any other lawful purpose, but no such action may materially and adversely affect rights under an award without the holder’s consent. The compensation committee is specifically authorized to exercise its discretion to reduce the exercise price of outstanding stock options or stock appreciation rights or effect the repricing of such awards through cancellation and re-grants. Certain amendments to the 2018 Plan will require the approval of our stockholders.
No awards may be granted under the 2018 Plan after the date that is 10 years from the date immediately preceding the registration date. No awards under the 2018 Plan have been made prior to the date hereof.
2014 Stock Option and Grant Plan, as amended
Our board of directors adopted, and our stockholders approved, our 2014 Plan in September 2014, which has subsequently been amended. Our 2014 Plan allowed for the grant of incentive stock options to our employees and any of our parent and subsidiary corporations’ employees, and for the grant of nonqualified stock options, restricted stock unit awards, restricted stock awards and unrestricted stock awards to employees, officers, directors and consultants of ours and our parent and subsidiary corporations.
Authorized Shares.    No shares will be available for future issuance under the 2014 Plan following the closing of this offering. However, our 2014 Plan will continue to govern outstanding awards granted thereunder. As of June 30, 2018, 6,453,457 shares of restricted stock, shares covering 44,109,560 RSUs and options to purchase 2,867,500 shares

Table of Contents

of our Class B common stock remained outstanding under our 2014 Plan at a weighted-average exercise price of approximately $6.49 per share.
Administration.    Our board of directors currently administers our 2014 Plan. Subject to the provisions of our 2014 Plan, the administrator has the power to interpret and administer our 2014 Plan and any agreement thereunder 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 applicable to the awards together with any vesting acceleration and the terms of the award agreement for use under our 2014 Plan. The administrator is specifically authorized to exercise its discretion to reduce the exercise price of outstanding stock options or effect the repricing of such awards through cancellation and re-grants.
Options.    Stock options have been granted under our 2014 Plan. The exercise price per share of all options must have equaled at least 100% of the fair market value per share of our Class B common stock on the date of grant. The term of an incentive stock option may not have exceeded 10 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 had 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 Class B 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, shares or certain other property or other consideration acceptable to the administrator. 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 3 months after termination or such longer period of time as specified in the applicable option agreement. If termination is due to death or disability, the option generally will remain exercisable, to the extent vested as of such date of termination, until the 12-month anniversary of such termination. However, in no event may an option be exercised later than the expiration of its term.
Restricted Stock and RSUs.    Restricted Stock and RSUs have been granted under our 2014 Plan. The administrator determined the terms and conditions of restricted stock and RSUs, including the number of shares or units granted, the vesting criteria (which may include accomplishing specified performance criteria or continued service to us) and the form and timing of payment.
Transferability or Assignability of Awards.    Our 2014 Plan generally does not allow for the transfer or assignment of awards, other than, at the discretion of the administrator, by will or the laws of descent and distribution, by gift to an immediate family member, or by instrument to an inter vivos or testamentary trust in which the award is passed to beneficiaries upon the death of the grantee.
Certain Adjustments.    In the event of certain changes in our capitalization, the exercise prices of and the number of shares subject to outstanding options, and the purchase price of and the numbers of shares subject to outstanding awards will be proportionately adjusted, subject to any required action by our board of directors or stockholders.
Change in Control; Dissolution or Liquidation.    The 2014 Plan provides that, upon the consummation of a Sale Event, unless provision is made in connection with the Sale Event for the assumption or continuation of the awards by the successor entity or substitution of the awards with new awards of the successor entity, with appropriate adjustment, the 2014 Plan and all outstanding and unexercised options and other awards issued thereunder will terminate upon the effective time of the Sale Event. In the event of such termination, each option holder shall be permitted, within a specified period prior to the Sale Event as specified by the administrator, to exercise all exercisable options or all options that will become exercisable as of the effective time of the Sale Event, as further described in the 2014 Plan. If shares of unvested restricted stock are forfeited, the shares shall be repurchased from the holder at a price per share equal to the original per share purchase price paid for such shares, subject to adjustments provided in the 2014 Plan. In our discretion, (i) we may make or provide for cash payment to holders of options equal to the difference between (x) the per share cash consideration in the Sale Event multiplied by the number of shares subject to outstanding options being cancelled, and (y) the aggregate exercise price to the holders of all vested and exercisable options and (ii) make or provide for cash payment to holders of restricted stock and RSUs the per share cash consideration in the Sale Event multiplied by the number of shares of restricted stock or RSUs being cancelled. For purposes of the 2014 Plan, a “Sale Event” shall mean the consummation of (i) the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, (ii) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company on a consolidated basis to an unrelated person or entity, (iii) a merger, reorganization or consolidation pursuant to which the holders of the Company’s outstanding voting power immediately

prior to such transaction do not own a majority of the outstanding voting power of the surviving or resulting entity (or its ultimate parent, if applicable), (iv) the acquisition of all or a majority of the outstanding voting stock of the Company in a single transaction or a series of related transactions by a person or persons, or (v) any other acquisition of the business of the Company, as determined by our board of directors.
Our board of directors has determined not to grant any further awards under the 2014 Plan after the completion of the offering. Following the consummation of our initial public offering, we expect to make future awards under the 2018 Plan.
2018 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Our 2018 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or ESPP, has been adopted by our board of directors and is expected to be approved by our stockholders and will become effective the day before the date that the registration statement of which this prospectus is part is declared effective by the SEC. Our compensation committee administers the ESPP. The ESPP will initially reserve and authorize the issuance of up to a total of           shares of Class B common stock to participating employees. The ESPP will provide that the number of shares reserved and available for issuance will automatically increase each January 1, beginning on January 1, 2019 and ending on (and including) January 1, 2028 by the lesser of            shares of our Class B common stock, 1% of the outstanding number of shares of our Class B and Class A common stock on the immediately preceding December 31, or such lesser number of shares as determined by our compensation committee. This number will be subject to adjustment in the event of a stock split, stock dividend or other change in our capitalization.
All employees whose customary employment is for more than 20 hours per week and for more than five months in any calendar year will be eligible to participate in the ESPP; provided, however, that employees who are employed for 20 hours or less a week or for five months or less in any calendar year may be eligible to participate if required by applicable law. Any employee who owns 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock will not be eligible to purchase shares under the ESPP.
We will make one or more offerings, consisting of one or more purchase periods, each year to our employees to purchase shares under the ESPP. The first offering, or the Initial Offering, will begin on the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is part and, unless otherwise determined by the administrator of the ESPP, will end on November 30, 2020, and the next two offerings will commence on the first trading day on or following each of June 1, 2019 and December 1, 2019 and will end on November 30, 2020. Thereafter, unless otherwise determined by the administrator of the ESPP, offerings will commence on the first trading day on or following each June 1 and December 1 and will end on the last trading day on or before November 30 or May 31, respectively. Unless otherwise determined by the administrator of the ESPP, each offering will be divided into equal six-month purchase periods, except that the first purchase period in the Initial Offering will commence on the registration date and end on the last trading day on or before May 31, 2019. Each eligible employee as of the effective date of the registration statement for the Initial Offering will be deemed to be a participant in the ESPP at that time and must authorize payroll deductions or other contributions by submitting an enrollment form by the deadline specified by the plan administrator. Each eligible employee may elect to participate in any subsequent offering by submitting an enrollment form at least 15 business days before the relevant offering date.
Each employee who is a participant in the ESPP may purchase shares by authorizing contributions of up to 20% of his or her compensation during a purchase period. Unless the participating employee has previously withdrawn from the offering, his or her accumulated contributions will be used to purchase shares on the last business day of the purchase period at a price equal to 85% of the fair market value of the shares on the first business day of the offering period (which, for purposes of the Initial Offering, will be equal to our initial public offering price) or the last business day of the purchase period, whichever is lower, provided that no more than a number of shares of Class B common stock determined by dividing $15,000 by the fair market value of the shares on the first business day of the offering period (or a lesser number as established by the plan administrator in advance of the purchase period) may be purchased by any one employee during each purchase period. Under applicable tax rules, an employee may purchase no more than $25,000 worth of shares of Class B common stock, valued at the start of the offering period, under the ESPP for each calendar year in which a purchase right is outstanding.


141


Table of Contents

The accumulated contributions of any employee who is not a participant on the last day of a purchase period will be refunded. An employee’s rights under the ESPP terminate upon voluntary withdrawal from the plan or when the employee ceases employment with us for any reason.
The ESPP may be terminated or amended by our board of directors at any time but shall automatically terminate on the 10 year anniversary of the registration date. An amendment that increases the number of shares of Class B common stock that are authorized under the ESPP and certain other amendments will require the approval of our stockholders. The plan administrator may adopt subplans under the ESPP for employees of our non-U.S. subsidiaries who may participate in the ESPP and may permit such employees to participate in the ESPP on different terms, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Senior Executive Cash Incentive Bonus Plan
In October 2018, our board of directors adopted the Senior Executive Cash Incentive Bonus Plan, or Bonus Plan. The Bonus Plan provides for cash bonus payments based upon the attainment of performance targets established by our compensation committee. The payment targets will be related to financial and operational measures or objectives with respect to our company, or corporate performance goals, as well as individual performance objectives.
Our compensation committee may select corporate performance goals from among, but shall not be limited to, the following: achievement of billings, including subscription, Research on Demand, and professional services and other; renewal rate; achievement of cash flow (including, but not limited to, operating cash flow and free cash flow); research and development, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; net income (loss) (either before or after interest, taxes, depreciation and/or amortization); changes in the market price of our common stock; acquisitions or strategic transactions, including licenses, collaborations, joint ventures or promotion arrangements; operating income (loss); total stockholder returns; productivity; expense efficiency; margins; operating efficiency; working capital; earnings (loss) per share of our common stock; bookings, new bookings or renewals; sales or market shares; corporate revenue; net retention rate; and/or net annual recurring revenue, any of which may be (A) measured in absolute terms or compared to any incremental increase, (B) measured in terms of growth, (C) compared to another company or companies or to results of a peer group, (D) measured against the market as a whole and/or as compared to applicable market indices, and/or (E) measured on a pre-tax or post-tax basis (if applicable).
Each executive officer who is selected to participate in the Bonus Plan will have a target bonus opportunity set for each performance period. The bonus formulas will be adopted in each performance period by the compensation committee and communicated to each executive. The corporate performance goals will be measured at the end of each performance period as the compensation committee determines. If the corporate performance goals and/or individual performance objectives are met, payments will be made as soon as practicable following the end of each performance period. Subject to the rights contained in any agreement between the executive officer and us, an executive officer must be employed by us on the bonus payment date to be eligible to receive a bonus payment. The Bonus Plan also permits the compensation committee to approve additional bonuses to executive officers in its sole discretion and provides the compensation committee with discretion to adjust the size of the award as it deems appropriate to account for unforeseen factors beyond management’s control that affected corporate performance.
401(k) Plan
We maintain a tax-qualified retirement plan that provides eligible U.S. employees with an opportunity to save for retirement on a tax-advantaged basis. Plan participants are able to defer eligible compensation subject to applicable annual Code limits. We automatically make a non-elective safe harbor contribution of 3% of each participant’s eligible compensation. The 401(k) plan is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code with the 401(k) plan’s related trust intended to be tax exempt under Section 501(a) of the Code. As a tax-qualified retirement plan, contributions to the 401(k) plan and earnings on those contributions are not taxable to the employees until distributed from the 401(k) plan.

Engagement with Simplex Cleaning
In July 2010 we engaged Simplex Cleaning, an entity owned by relatives of Ryan Smith and Jared Smith, to provide certain office cleaning services to us. For the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, we incurred $336,000, $235,000, and $141,000, respectively, of expenses related to these services. In October 2018, we terminated our engagement with Simplex Cleaning.
Lease Agreement with Timpanogos Land Holdings, LLC
In November 2015, we entered into a 10-year lease agreement with Timpanogos Land Holdings, LLC, an entity controlled by Ryan Smith, Jared Smith and Scott Smith for our Provo, Utah, 165,074 square foot corporate headquarters. For the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, we incurred $2.7 million, $2.6 million, and $1.2 million, respectively, of expense related to the lease agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the lease agreement, we have two options to extend the lease term each for a period of five additional years, for an aggregate lease extension of up to 10 years. Additionally, under the terms of the lease agreement, we have a right of first offer in the event of a sale of the building.  
In October 2018, Timpanogos Land Holdings, LLC sold its ownership of the 165,074 square foot corporate headquarters in Provo, Utah to an independent third party. Pursuant to this sale, our lease agreement with Timpanogos Land Holdings, LLC was terminated. We have entered into a new lease agreement with the independent third party.
Loan Agreement with Zig Serafin
In May 2017, we entered into a loan agreement with Zig Serafin, our Chief Operating Officer. As of December 31, 2017, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the loan was $1.0 million. The loan matures and becomes due on the earlier of May 23, 2022, 60 days following the date of termination of employment of Mr. Serafin, or immediately prior to the first filing of a registration statement on Form S-1 related to this offering. Until that time, the loan will accrue interest at 2.04% per annum, compounded annually. The loan was repaid by Mr. Serafin in July 2018.
Investors’ Rights Agreement
We are party to an investors’ rights agreement 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. The parties to the investors’ rights agreement include entities affiliated with Ryan Smith, our chief executive officer and a current director, Jared Smith, our president and a current director, Scott Smith, a current director, R. Duff Thompson, our chairman of the board and a current director, Stuart Orgill, a former director, and entities affiliated with Accel, Insight Venture Partners, and Sequoia Capital. See the section titled “Description of Capital Stock—Registration Rights.”
Right of First Refusal
Pursuant to certain of our equity compensation plans and certain agreements with our stockholders, including a right of first refusal and co-sale agreement, we or our assignees have a right to purchase shares of our capital stock which stockholders propose to sell to other parties. This right will terminate upon completion of this offering. The parties to the right of first refusal and co-sale agreement include entities affiliated with Ryan Smith, our chief executive

officer and a current director, Jared Smith, our president and a current director, Scott Smith, a current director, R. Duff Thompson, our chairman of the board and a current director, Stuart Orgill, a former director, and entities affiliated with Accel, Insight Venture Partners, and Sequoia Capital.
Voting Agreement
We are party to a voting agreement under which certain holders of our capital stock have agreed to vote their shares of our capital stock on certain matters, including with respect to the election of directors. Upon completion of this offering, the voting agreement will terminate and none of our stockholders will have any special rights regarding the election or designation of members of our board of directors. The parties to the voting agreement include entities affiliated with Ryan Smith, our chief executive officer and a current director, Jared Smith, our president and a current director, Scott Smith, a current director, R. Duff Thompson, our chairman of the board and a current director, Stuart Orgill, a former director, and entities affiliated with Accel, Insight Venture Partners, and Sequoia Capital.
Other than as described above under this section titled “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions,” since January 1, 2015, we have not entered into any transactions, nor are there any currently proposed transactions, between us and a related party where the amount involved exceeds, or would exceed, $120,000, and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest. We believe the terms of the transactions described above were comparable to terms we could have obtained in arm’s-length dealings with unrelated third parties.
Limitation of Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors
We have adopted an amended and restated certificate of incorporation, which will become effective immediately prior to the completion of this offering, and which will contain provisions that limit the liability of our directors for monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Consequently, our directors will not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duties as directors, except liability for the following:
any breach of their duty of loyalty to our company or our stockholders;
any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the DGCL; or
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 DGCL 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 DGCL.
In addition, we have adopted amended and restated bylaws, which will become effective immediately prior to the completion of this offering, and which will provide that we will indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any person who is or was 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 is or was serving at our request as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. Our amended and restated bylaws are expected to provide that we may indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by law any person who is or was 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 employees or agents or is or was serving at our request as an employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. Our amended and restated bylaws will also provide that we must advance expenses incurred by or on behalf of a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of any action or proceeding, subject to limited exceptions.
Further, we have entered into or will enter into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers that may be broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained in the DGCL. These indemnification agreements require us, among other things, to indemnify our directors and executive officers against liabilities that may


146


Table of Contents

arise by reason of their status or service. These indemnification agreements also require us to advance all expenses incurred by the directors and executive 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 executive officers.
The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions that are expected to be included in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, amended and restated bylaws and in indemnification agreements that we have entered into or will enter into with our directors and executive officers may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors and executive officers for breach of their fiduciary duties. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against our directors and executive 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 executive 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 by reason of breach of fiduciary duty or other wrongful acts as a director or executive officer, including claims relating to public securities matters, 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.
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 and directors for certain liabilities arising under the 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 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 Class A-1, Class A-2, and Class B common stock, in each case since the beginning of the most recently completed year, and any of their immediate family members. Our audit committee charter that will be in effect upon 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 certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our capital stock as of September 30, 2018, and as adjusted to reflect the sale of our Class B common stock offered by us in this offering assuming no exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, for:
each of our named executive officers;
each of our directors;
all of our current directors and executive officers as a group; and
each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of our Class A-1, Class A-2, or Class B common stock (by number or by voting power).
We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC, and thus it represents sole or shared voting or investment power with respect to our securities. 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 owned, subject to community property laws where applicable. The information does not necessarily indicate beneficial ownership for any other purpose, including for purposes of Sections 13(d) and 13(g) of the Securities Act.
We have based our calculation of the percentage of beneficial ownership prior to this offering on 163,272,517 shares of our Class A-1 common stock, 202,791,238 shares of our Class A-2 common stock and 24,771,384 shares of our Class B common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2018, assuming (i) the automatic conversion of all outstanding shares of our Series A-1 and Series A-2 redeemable convertible preferred stock into our Class A-2 common stock immediately prior to the completion of this offering, as if such conversion had occurred as of September 30, 2018, (ii) the automatic conversion of all outstanding shares of our Series A-3 redeemable convertible preferred stock and Series B redeemable convertible preferred stock into our Class A-1 common stock immediately prior to the completion of this offering, as if such conversion had occurred as of September 30, 2018, and (iii) the vesting and settlement of all outstanding RSUs for which the service-based vesting would be satisfied as of September 30, 2018, assuming the performance vesting condition had been achieved as of such date, before giving effect to shares withheld to satisfy the associated withholding tax obligations.
We have based our calculation of the percentage of beneficial ownership after this offering on 163,272,517 shares of our Class A-1 common stock, 202,791,238 shares of our Class A-2 common stock and                shares of our Class B common stock outstanding immediately after the completion of this offering, assuming that the underwriters will not exercise their over-allotment option in full and assuming the issuance of up to          shares of Class B common stock at the closing of this offering on the vesting and settlement of certain RSUs subject to a performance condition in connection with the completion of this offering. We have deemed shares of our capital stock subject to stock options that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of September 30, 2018, to be outstanding and to be beneficially owned by the person holding the stock option for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person. We have deemed shares of our Class B common stock subject to RSUs for which the service condition has been satisfied or would be satisfied within 60 days of September 30, 2018 to be outstanding and to be beneficially owned by the person holding the RSUs for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person. In addition, for RSUs that contain a vesting condition that is contingent upon completion of this offering, we have assumed that such condition has been met. However, we did not deem these shares subject to stock options or restricted stock units outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
General
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 have adopted 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 titled “Description of Capital Stock,” you should refer to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, amended and restated bylaws, and amended and restated investors’ rights agreement, which are included as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, and to the applicable provisions of Delaware law. Immediately following the completion of this offering, our authorized capital stock will consist of            shares of capital stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of which:
           shares are designated as Class A-1 common stock;
           shares are designated as Class A-2 common stock;
           shares are designated as Class B common stock; and
           shares are designated as preferred stock.
Assuming (i) the conversion of all outstanding shares of our preferred stock into shares of our Class A-1 and Class A-2 common stock, which will occur immediately prior to the completion of this offering and (ii) the issuance of up to           shares of Class B common stock on the vesting and settlement of certain outstanding RSUs subject to a performance condition for which the service-based vesting condition was satisfied as of June 30, 2018, there were            shares of our Class B common stock outstanding held by           stockholders of record, 163,272,517 shares of our Class A-1 common stock outstanding held by 77 stockholders of record, 202,791,238 shares of our Class A-2 common stock outstanding held by 22 stockholders of record and no shares of our preferred stock outstanding. Our board of directors is authorized, without stockholder approval except as required by the listing standards of Nasdaq, to issue additional shares of our capital stock.
Class A-1 Common Stock, Class A-2 Common Stock, and Class B Common Stock
Dividend Rights
Subject to preferences that may apply to any shares of preferred stock outstanding at the time, the holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends out of funds legally available if our board of directors, in its discretion, determines to issue dividends and then only at the times and in the amounts that our board of directors may determine. See the section titled “Dividend Policy.”
Voting Rights
Holders of our Class B common stock are entitled to one vote for each share of Class B common stock held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders and holders of our Class A-1 and Class A-2 common stock are entitled to 10 votes for each share of Class A-1 and Class A-2 common stock held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. The holders of Class A-2 common stock also have special voting rights which become effective in the event that the total number of votes represented by all of the outstanding shares of our Class A-2 common stock would constitute less than 51% of the total voting power of all classes of our then-outstanding capital stock. In such a case, and for so long as the number of outstanding shares of Class A-2 common stock represents at least 10% of the total number of shares of all classes of our outstanding capital stock, the holders of our Class A-2 common stock will be entitled to a number of votes per share of their Class A-2 common stock as would cause the total number of votes of all outstanding shares of Class A-2 common stock to equal 51% of the total voting power of all of our then-outstanding shares of capital stock. Accordingly, in such event, the aggregate voting power of all outstanding shares of Class A-1 common stock and Class B common stock would be proportionately reduced.


152


Table of Contents

Holders of shares of our Class A-1, Class A-2, and Class B common stock vote together as a single class on all matters (including the election of directors) submitted to a vote of stockholders, unless otherwise required by law. We have not provided for cumulative voting for the election of directors in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws that will be in effect at the closing of the offering will provide for a classified board of directors consisting of three classes of approximately equal size, each serving staggered three-year terms.
No Preemptive or Similar Rights
Our Class A-1, Class A-2, and Class B common stock are not entitled to preemptive rights, and are not subject to conversion, redemption or sinking fund provisions, except for the conversion provisions with respect to the Class A-1 and Class A-2 common stock described below.
Right to Receive Liquidation Distributions
If we become subject to a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the assets legally available for distribution to our stockholders would be distributable ratably among the holders of our Class A-1, Class A-2, and Class B common stock and any participating preferred stock outstanding at that time, subject to prior satisfaction of all outstanding debt and liabilities and the preferential rights of and the payment of liquidation preferences, if any, on any outstanding shares of preferred stock.
Conversion
Each outstanding share of Class A-1 and Class A-2 common stock is convertible at any time at the option of the holder into one share of Class B common stock. In addition, each share of Class A-1 and Class A-2 common stock will convert automatically into one share of Class B common stock upon any transfer, whether or not for value, which occurs after the closing of this offering, except for certain permitted transfers described in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, including transfers to family members, trusts solely for the benefit of the stockholder or their family members, and partnerships, corporations, other entities exclusively owned by the stockholder or their family members, and any of Messrs. R. Smith, J. Smith, or S. Smith, or the Founders, or any Founder’s permitted transferees, or any other entity in which one or more of the Founders has sole dispositive power and exclusive voting control with respect to the shares of Class common stock held by such entity.
Each outstanding share of Class A-1 and Class A-2 common stock will convert automatically into one share of Class B common stock upon the date specified by affirmative vote of the holders of 66-2/3% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock, voting as a single class and giving effect to the vote per share provisions contained in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation.
Each outstanding share of Class A-1 common stock will convert automatically into one share of Class B common stock on the date that is 15 years following the completion of this offering. Each outstanding share of Class A-2 common stock will convert automatically into one share of Class B common stock on the later to occur of (i) the date that is 15 years following the completion of this offering or (ii) the date on which the outstanding shares of Class A-2 common stock represent less than five percent (5%) of the total aggregate number of shares of the then outstanding shares of our capital stock.
Each outstanding share of Class A-2 common stock will convert automatically into one share of Class B common stock on the date that the dispositive power and voting control over any shares of Class A-2 common stock then owned by Grandview Holdings, LLC is not held solely and exclusively by one or more of the Founders (whether as a result of the death or incapacity of one or more of the Founders or otherwise), other than pursuant to certain permitted transfers described in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, or the Specified Event Conversion Date; provided, however, that any shares of Class A-2 common stock over which one or more of the Founders has or retains, directly or indirectly, sole dispositive power and exclusive voting control, will not so convert into Class B common stock and will remain outstanding as Class A-2 common stock following such Specified Event Conversion Date, subject to the other conversion provisions described in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation.

Table of Contents

Once converted or transferred and converted into Class B common stock, the Class A-1 and Class A-2 common stock will not be reissued.
We believe that the voting structure described above, which prolongs our ability to remain a founder-led company, will maximize our ability to create stockholder value. We believe that a significant portion of our success thus far has been attributable to our founders’ leadership, creative vision and management abilities. We also believe that our founders’ continued leadership in our company will provide substantial future benefits to us and our stockholders.
Fully Paid and Non-Assessable
In connection with this offering, our legal counsel will opine that the shares of our Class B common stock to be issued pursuant to this offering will be fully paid and non-assessable.
Preferred Stock
Our board of directors is authorized, subject to limitations prescribed by Delaware law, to issue preferred stock in one or more series, to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each series and to fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each series and any of its qualifications, limitations or restrictions, in each case without further vote or action by our stockholders. Our board of directors can also increase or decrease the number of shares of any series of preferred stock, but not below the number of shares of that series then outstanding, without any further vote or action by our stockholders. Our board of directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our Class A-1, Class A-2, and Class B common stock. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could, among other things, have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our company and might adversely affect the market price of our Class B common stock and the voting and other rights of the holders of our Class A-1, Class A-2, and Class B common stock. We have no current plan to issue any shares of preferred stock.
Options
As of June 30, 2018, we had outstanding options to purchase an aggregate of 2,867,500 shares of our Class B common stock, with a weighted-average exercise price of approximately $6.49 per share, under our equity compensation plans and options to purchase an aggregate of 576,675 shares of our Class B common stock, with a weighted-average exercise price of approximately $3.89 per share issued outside of our equity compensation plans. After June 30, 2018, we issued options to purchase an aggregate of 919,643 shares of our Class B common stock, with a weighted-average exercise price of $7.69 per share, under our 2014 Plan.
Restricted Stock Units
As of June 30, 2018, we had outstanding RSUs of 44,109,560 shares of our Class B common stock under our equity compensation plans and outstanding RSUs of 44,100 shares of our Class B common stock outside of our equity compensation plans. Of that amount, up to                    shares of our Class B common stock will be issued at the closing of this offering upon the vesting and settlement of RSUs subject to a performance condition to be satisfied in connection with the completion of this offering. After June 30, 2018, we issued RSUs for an aggregate of 26,495,191 shares of our Class B common stock under our 2014 Plan, which includes RSUs for an aggregate of 22,500,000 shares of our Class B common stock that were granted pursuant to the Founder Grants that will settle upon the future satisfaction of service conditions and the achievement of certain stock price goals following the completion of this offering. See “Executive Compensation—Founder Restricted Stock Unit Grants” for additional information. We expect that up to             shares of our Class B common stock may be sold in open market transactions within 180 days following the closing of this offering to generate enough proceeds to cover taxes that may become due as a result of the vesting and/or settlement of RSUs that are scheduled to vest and/or settle at, or in the 180 days following, the offering. In addition, we expect that up to             shares of our Class B common stock may be delivered to our employees and former employees a result of the vesting and/or settlement of RSUs that are scheduled to vest and/or settle at, or in the 180 days following, the offering (assuming that all employees and former employees, other than those that may sell to cover as discussed in the preceding sentence, pay cash to us to cover withholding amounts). The actual number of these shares that may be issued by us in connection with outstanding RSUs will depend on a number of factors, including determinations by


154


Table of Contents

holders of our RSUs as to whether to cash settle their RSUs and pay cash to us to cover withholding amounts or to net settle shares to us to cover withholding amounts.
Registration Rights
After the completion of this offering, certain holders of our Class A-1, Class A-2 and Class B 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 Amended and Restated Investors’ Rights Agreement, or IRA, dated as of March 31, 2017. We and certain holders of our Series A and Series B redeemable convertible preferred stock are parties to the IRA. The registration rights set forth in the IRA 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(b)(1)(i) of the Securities Act or holds one percent or less of our common stock and is able to sell all of its Registrable Securities, as defined in the IRA, pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act during any 90-day period. We will pay the registration expenses (other than underwriting discounts, selling 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. We expect that our stockholders will waive their rights under the IRA (i) to notice of this offering and (ii) to include their registrable shares in this offering. In addition, in connection with this offering, we expect that each stockholder that has registration rights will agree not to sell or otherwise dispose of any securities without the prior written consent of Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC for a period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus, subject to certain terms and conditions and early release of certain holders in specified circumstances. See the section titled “Underwriters.”
Demand Registration Rights
After the completion of this offering, the holders of up to 366,063,755 shares of our Class A-1 and Class A-2 common stock will be entitled to certain demand registration rights. At any time beginning 180 days after the effective date of this offering, certain holders of at least 183,031,878 shares of Class A-1 and Class A-2 common stock then outstanding can request that we register for offer and sale the aggregate number Class B shares into which their Class A-1 and Class A-2 shares convert. We are obligated to effect only two such registrations. Such request for registration must cover securities with anticipated aggregate proceeds to us of at least $30,000,000. If we determine that it would be seriously detrimental to 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 90 days.
Piggyback Registration Rights
After the completion of this offering, if we propose to register the offer and sale of our Class B common stock under the Securities Act, the holders of up to 368,549,797 shares of our Class A-1, Class A-2 and Class B common stock will be entitled to certain “piggyback” registration rights, allowing the holders to include the aggregate number of Class B shares into which their Class A-1 and Class A-2 shares convert 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 demand registration, (2)  a registration on Form S-3 or S-8 promulgated under the Securities Act or (4) a registration relating solely to employment benefit plans, the holders of these shares are entitled to notice of the registration and have the right, subject to certain limitations, to include the aggregate number of Class B shares into which their Class A-1 and Class A-2 shares convert in the registration.
S-3 Registration Rights
After the completion of this offering, the holders of up to 366,063,755 shares of our Class A-1 and Class A-2 common stock will be entitled to certain Form S-3 registration rights. Certain holders of at least 183,031,878 shares of Class A-1 and Class A-2 common stock then outstanding may make a written request that we register the offer and sale of the aggregate number of Class B shares into which their Class A-1 and Class A-2 shares convert 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, before payment of underwriting discounts and commissions, is at least $5,000,000. Upon completion of any such S-3 registration, each share of our Class A-1 and Class A-2 common stock so registered will automatically convert to Class B common stock. These stockholders may make an unlimited number of requests for registration on Form S-3; however, we will not be required to effect a


155


Table of Contents

registration on Form S-3 if we have effected two such registrations within the 12-month period preceding the date of the request. Additionally, if we determine that it would be seriously detrimental to 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.
Anti-Takeover Provisions
The provisions of Delaware law, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws, which are summarized below, may have the effect of delaying, deferring or discouraging another person from acquiring control of our company. They are also designed, in part, to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to negotiate first with our board of directors. We believe that the benefits of increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with an unfriendly or unsolicited acquirer outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging a proposal to acquire us because negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.
Delaware Law
We will be governed by the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL. In general, Section 203 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:
the transaction was approved by the board of directors prior to the time that the stockholder became an interested stockholder;
upon consummation of 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 commenced, excluding shares owned by directors who are also officers of the corporation and 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
at or subsequent to the time the stockholder became an interested stockholder, the business combination was approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder.
In general, Section 203 defines a “business combination” to include mergers, asset sales and other transactions resulting in financial benefit to a stockholder and an “interested stockholder” as a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years did own, 15% or more of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock. These provisions may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing changes in control of our company.
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaw Provisions
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws will include a number of provisions that could deter hostile takeovers or delay or prevent changes in control of our company, as well as changes in our board of directors or management team, including the following:
Board of Directors Vacancies.    Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws will authorize only our board of directors to fill vacant directorships, including newly created seats. In addition, the number of directors constituting our board of directors will be permitted to be set only by a resolution adopted by a majority vote of our entire board of directors. These provisions would prevent a stockholder from increasing the size of our board of directors and then gaining control of our board of directors by filling the resulting vacancies with its own nominees. This will make it more difficult to change the composition of our board of directors and will promote continuity of management.
Tri-Class Common Stock.    As described above in the section titled “—Common Stock—Voting Rights,” our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide for a tri-class common stock structure pursuant to which holders of our Class A-1 and Class A-2 common stock will have the ability to control the outcome of matters requiring stockholder approval, even if they own significantly less than a majority of the shares of our outstanding Class A-1,


156


Table of Contents

Class A-2 and Class B common stock, including the election of directors and significant corporate transactions, such as a merger or other sale of our company or its assets. In addition, holders of our Class A-2 common stock, which include certain of our directors, officers and our co-founders, are entitled to at least 51% of the overall voting power of our capital stock for so long as the Class A-2 common stock represents at least 10% of our total outstanding capital stock.
Classified Board.    Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws will provide that our board of directors will be classified into three classes of directors each of which will hold office for a three-year term. In addition, directors may only be removed from the board of directors for cause. The existence of a classified board could delay a potential acquirer from obtaining majority control of our board of directors, and the prospect of that delay might deter a potential acquirer.
Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations.    Our amended and restated bylaws will provide advance notice procedures for stockholders seeking to bring business before our annual meeting of stockholders or to nominate candidates for election as directors at our annual meeting of stockholders. Our amended and restated bylaws will also specify certain requirements regarding the form and content of a stockholder’s notice.
To be in proper written form, a stockholder’s notice must set forth as to each matter of business the stockholder intends to bring before our annual meeting of stockholders: (1) a brief description of the business intended to be brought before the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting, (2) the name and address, as they appear on the Company’s books, of the stockholder proposing such business and any controlling stockholder or beneficial owner of stockholder’s shares, or a Stockholder Associated Person, (3) the class and number of our shares that are held of record or are beneficially owned by the stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person and any derivative positions held or beneficially held by the stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person, (4) whether and the extent to which any hedging or other transaction or series of transactions has been entered into by or on behalf of such stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person with respect to our securities, and a description of any other agreement, arrangement or understanding the effect or intent of which is to mitigate loss to, or to manage the risk or benefit from share price changes for, or to increase or decrease the voting power of, such stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person with respect to our securities, (5) any material interest of the stockholder or a Stockholder Associated Person in such business, and (6) a statement whether either such stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person will deliver a proxy statement and form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the voting power of our voting shares required under applicable law to carry the proposal. In addition, to be in proper written form, a stockholder’s notice must be supplemented not later than ten days following the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting to disclose the information contained in clauses (3) and (4) above as of the record date.
To be in proper written form, a stockholder’s notice as it relates to director nominations at annual meetings, must set forth: as to each nominee whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or re-election as a director: (1) the name, age, business address, and residence address of the nominee, (2) the principal occupation or employment of the nominee, (3) the information required to be provided pursuant to clauses (3) and (4) of the prior paragraph with respect to the nominee, (4) a description of all arrangements or understandings between or among any of the stockholder, each nominee, and/or any other person or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which the nominations are to be made by the stockholder or relating to the nominee’s potential service on the board of directors, (5) a written statement executed by the nominee acknowledging that as a director of the Company, the nominee will owe a fiduciary duty under Delaware law with respect to the Company and its stockholders, and (6) any other information relating to the nominee that would be required to be disclosed about such nominee if proxies were being solicited for the election of the nominee as a director, or that is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act (including without limitation the nominee’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement, if any, as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected). In addition, to be in proper written form, a stockholder’s notice must (i) provide, with respect to such stockholder, the information required to be provided pursuant to clauses (2) through (5) in the prior paragraph, and be supplemented not later than ten days following the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting to disclose the information contained in clauses (3) and (4) in the prior paragraph as of the record date (except that the references to “business” in such clauses shall instead refer to nominations of directors) and (ii) a statement whether either such stockholder will deliver a proxy statement and form of proxy to holders at least the percentage of the Company’s voting shares reasonably believed by such stockholder to be necessary to elect such nominee(s).


157


Table of Contents

These provisions might preclude our stockholders from bringing matters before our annual meeting of stockholders or from making nominations for directors at our annual meeting of stockholders if the proper procedures are not followed. We expect that these provisions may also discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our company.
Stockholder Action; Special Meeting of Stockholders. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that before the first date on which, after giving effect to the vote per share provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the total aggregate number of votes represented by all then-issued and outstanding shares of Class A-2 common stock constitute less than 51% of the total aggregate number of votes represented by all then-issued and outstanding shares of our capital stock, or the Written Consent Threshold Date, our stockholders may only take action by written consent if such action is first recommended or approved by our board of directors. Following the Written Consent Threshold Date, our stockholders will not be able to take action by written consent for any matter and may only take action at annual or special meetings. As a result, a holder controlling 66-2/3% of our capital stock would not be able to amend our amended and restated bylaws or remove directors without holding a meeting of our stockholders called in accordance with our amended and restated bylaws, unless previously approved by our board of directors. Our amended and restated bylaws will further provide that special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by our board of directors, the chairperson of our board of directors, our Chief Executive Officer, or our President (in the absence of a Chief Executive Officer), thus limiting the ability of a stockholder to call a special meeting. These provisions might delay the ability of our stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or for stockholders controlling a majority of our capital stock to take any action, including the removal of directors.
No Cumulative Voting.    The DGCL provides that stockholders are not entitled to cumulate votes in the election of directors unless a corporation’s certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting.
Directors Removed Only for Cause.    Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that stockholders may remove directors only for cause.
Amendment of Charter Provisions.    Any amendment of the above provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation would require approval by holders of at least two-thirds of our then outstanding capital stock, which, for so long as the holders of Class A-2 common stock are entitled to at least 51% of the overall voting power of our capital stock, will require the approval by holders of Class A-2 common stock.
Issuance of Undesignated Preferred Stock.    Our board of directors will have the authority, without further action by our stockholders, to issue up to 200,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock with rights and preferences, including voting rights, designated from time to time by our board of directors. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock would enable our board of directors to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest, or other means.
The foregoing provisions will make it more difficult for our existing stockholders, other than holders of our Class A-1 and A-2 common stock, to replace our board of directors as well as for another party to obtain control of us by replacing our board of directors. Since our board of directors has the power to retain and discharge our officers, these provisions could also make it more difficult for existing stockholders, other than the holders of our Class A-1 and Class A-2 common stock, or another party to effect a change in management.
These provisions, including the tri-class structure of our common stock, are intended to preserve our existing founder control structure after completion of our initial public offering, facilitate our continued product innovation and the risk-taking that it requires, permit us to continue to prioritize our long-term goals rather than short-term results, enhance the likelihood of continued stability in the composition of our board of directors and its policies and to discourage certain types of transactions that may involve an actual or threatened acquisition of us. These provisions are also designed to reduce our vulnerability to an unsolicited acquisition proposal and to discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy fights. However, such provisions could have the effect of discouraging others from making tender offers for our shares and may have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in our control or management. As a consequence, these provisions may also inhibit fluctuations in the market price of our stock that could result from actual or rumored takeover attempts.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our Class B common stock, and we cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of shares of our Class B common stock or the availability of shares of our Class B common stock for sale will have on the market price of our Class B common stock prevailing from time to time. Future sales of our Class B common stock in the public market, or the availability of such shares for sale in the public market, could adversely affect market prices prevailing from time to time. As described below, only a limited number of shares of our Class B common stock will be available for sale shortly after this offering due to contractual and legal restrictions on resale. Nevertheless, sales of our Class B common stock in the public market after such restrictions lapse, or the perception that those sales may occur, could adversely affect the prevailing market price at such time and our ability to raise equity capital in the future.
Following the completion of this offering, based on the number of shares of our capital stock outstanding as of June 30, 2018, we will have a total of           shares of our Class B common stock outstanding, 163,272,517 shares of our Class A-1 common stock outstanding and 202,791,238 shares of our Class A-2 common stock outstanding. Of these outstanding shares, all           shares of our Class B common stock sold in this offering will be freely tradable, except that any shares purchased in this offering by our affiliates, as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, would only be able to be sold in compliance with the Rule 144 limitations described below.
The remaining outstanding shares of our Class A-1, Class A-2, and Class B common stock will be, and shares subject to stock options will be upon issuance, deemed “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Restricted securities may be sold in the public market only if they are registered or if they qualify for an exemption from registration under Rule 144 or Rule 701 under the Securities Act, which rules are summarized below. All of our executive officers, directors and holders of substantially all of our capital stock and securities convertible into or exchangeable for our capital stock have entered into market standoff agreements with us and have entered into or will enter into lock-up agreements with the underwriters under which they have agreed or will agree, subject to specific exceptions, not to sell any of our stock for 180 days following the date of this prospectus. As a result of these agreements and the provisions of our IRA described above under the section titled “Description of Capital Stock—Registration Rights,” and subject to the provisions of Rule 144 or Rule 701, shares of our common stock will be available for sale in the public market as follows:
beginning on the date of this prospectus, all           shares of our Class B common stock sold in this offering will be immediately available for sale in the public market; and
beginning 181 days after the date of this prospectus, the remainder of the outstanding shares will be eligible for sale in the public market from time to time thereafter, subject in some cases to the volume and other restrictions of Rule 144, as described below.
In addition, we expect that up to             shares of our Class B common stock may be sold in open market transactions within 180 days following the closing of this offering to generate enough proceeds to cover taxes that may become due as a result of the vesting and/or settlement of RSUs that are scheduled to vest and/or settle at, or in the 180 days following, the offering. In addition, we expect that up to             shares of our Class B common stock may be delivered to our employees and former employees as a result of the vesting and/or settlement of RSUs that are scheduled to vest and/or settle at, or in the 180 days following, the offering (assuming that all employees and former employees, other than those that may sell to cover as discussed in the preceding sentence, pay cash to us to cover withholding amounts).
Market Standoff Agreements and Lock-Up Agreements
All of our executive officers, directors and holders of substantially all of our Class A-1, Class A-2, and Class B common stock and securities convertible into or exchangeable for our Class A-1, Class A-2, and Class B common stock have entered into market standoff agreements with us and have entered into or will enter into lock-up agreements with the underwriters under which they have agreed or will agree that, subject to specific exceptions, they will not offer for sale, sell, contract to sell, grant any option for the sale of, transfer, or otherwise dispose of any shares of our common stock, options, or warrants to acquire shares of our common stock, or any security or instrument related to such common stock, option, or warrant for a period of at least 180 days following the date of this prospectus. Participants in our directed share program will not be subject to the lock-up restriction with the underwriters with respect to any shares

of our Class B common stock purchased through the directed share program. Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC may, in its sole discretion, release any of the securities subject to the lock-up agreements with the underwriters at any time. See the section titled “Underwriters.”
Rule 144
In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, once we have been subject to the public company reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act for at least 90 days, a person who is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates for purposes of the Securities Act at any time during the 90 days preceding a sale and who has beneficially owned the shares of our common stock proposed to be sold for at least six months is entitled to sell those shares without complying with the manner of sale, volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144, subject to compliance with the public information requirements of Rule 144. If such a person has beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least one year, including the holding period of any prior owner other than our affiliates, then that person would be entitled to sell those shares without complying with any of the requirements of Rule 144.
In general, under Rule 144, as currently in effect, our affiliates or persons selling shares of our Class B common stock on behalf of our affiliates are entitled to sell upon expiration of the market standoff agreements and lock-up agreements described above, within any three-month period, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of:
1% of the number of shares of our common stock then outstanding, which will equal           shares immediately after this offering; or
the average weekly trading volume of our common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to that sale.
Sales under Rule 144 by our affiliates or persons selling shares of our common stock on behalf of our affiliates are also subject to certain manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about us.
Rule 701
Rule 701 generally allows a stockholder who purchased shares of our capital stock pursuant to a written compensatory plan or contract and who is not deemed to have been an affiliate of our company during the immediately preceding 90 days to sell these shares in reliance upon Rule 144, but without being required to comply with the public information, holding period, volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144. Rule 701 also permits affiliates of our company to sell their Rule 701 shares under Rule 144 without complying with the holding period requirements of Rule 144. All holders of Rule 701 shares, however, are required to wait until 90 days after the date of this prospectus before selling those shares pursuant to Rule 701. Moreover, all Rule 701 shares are subject to market standoff agreements with us or lock-up agreements with the underwriters as described above and under the section titled “Underwriters” and will not become eligible for sale until the expiration of those agreements.
Registration Rights
Pursuant to our IRA, the holders of up to 368,549,797 shares of our Class A-1, Class A-2, and Class B common stock, or their transferees, will be entitled to certain rights with respect to the registration of the offer and sale of the aggregate number of Class B shares into which their Class A-1 and Class A-2 common stock convert under the Securities Act. See the section titled “Description of Capital Stock—Registration Rights” for a description of these registration rights. If the offer and sale of these shares of our common stock are registered, the shares will be freely tradeable without restriction under the Securities Act, subject to the Rule 144 limitations applicable to affiliates, and a large number of shares may be sold into the public market.
Registration Statement
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 options and restricted stock units outstanding, as well as reserved for future issuance, under our equity compensation plans and arrangements. 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 the section titled “Executive Compensation—Employee Benefits and Stock Plans” for a description of our equity compensation plans.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO NON-U.S. HOLDERS OF OUR CLASS B COMMON STOCK
The following is a discussion of the material U.S. federal income and estate tax consequences relating to ownership and disposition of our Class B common stock by a non-U.S. holder. For purposes of this discussion, the term “non-U.S. holder” means a beneficial owner of our Class B common stock that is not, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:
an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;
a corporation, or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or of any political subdivision of the United States;
an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source;
a trust, if a U.S. court is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more “United States persons” (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) have authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or if the trust has a valid election in effect to be treated as a United States person under applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations.
A modified definition of “non-U.S. holder” applies for U.S. federal estate tax purposes (as discussed below).
This discussion is based on current provisions of the Code, existing and proposed U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, current administrative rulings and judicial decisions, all as in effect as of the date of this prospectus and all of which are subject to change or to differing interpretation, possibly with retroactive effect. Any change could alter the tax consequences to non-U.S. holders described in this prospectus. In addition, the Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, could challenge one or more of the tax consequences described in this prospectus.
We assume in this discussion that each non-U.S. holder holds shares of our Class B common stock as a capital asset (generally, property held for investment) within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code. This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income and estate taxation that may be relevant to a particular non-U.S. holder in light of that non-U.S. holder’s individual circumstances nor does it address any aspects of state, local or non-U.S. taxes, alternative minimum tax, or U.S. federal taxes other than income and estate taxes. This discussion also does not consider any specific facts or circumstances that may apply to a non-U.S. holder and does not address the special tax rules applicable to particular non-U.S. holders, such as:
banks;
insurance companies;
tax-exempt organizations;
financial institutions;
brokers or dealers in securities;
pension plans;
tax-qualified retirement plans;
tax-exempt organizations;
controlled foreign corporations;
passive foreign investment companies;
owners that hold our Class B common stock as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion transaction, synthetic security or other integrated investment;
certain U.S. expatriates;


163


Table of Contents

persons who have elected to mark securities to market;
persons subject to the unearned income Medicare contribution tax;
persons that elect to apply Section 1400Z-2 to gains recognized with respect to shares of Class B common stock; or
persons that acquire our Class B common stock as compensation for services.
In addition, this discussion does not address the tax treatment of partnerships (including any entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) or other entities that are transparent for U.S. federal income tax purposes or persons who hold their Class B common stock through partnerships or other entities that are transparent for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In the case of a holder that is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the tax treatment of a person treated as a partner in such partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally will depend on the status of the partner, the activities of the partner and the partnership and certain determinations made at the partner level. A person treated as a partner in a partnership or who holds their stock through another transparent entity should consult his, her or its own tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of our Class B common stock through a partnership or other transparent entity, as applicable.
Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. income and other tax considerations of acquiring, holding and disposing of our common stock.
Distributions on Our Class B Common Stock
We do not expect to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. See the section titled “Dividend Policy.” However, in the event that we do pay distributions of cash or property on our Class B common stock, those distributions will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. If a distribution exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits, the excess will be treated as a tax-free return of the non-U.S. holder’s investment, up to such holder’s tax basis in our Class B common stock. Any remaining excess will be treated as capital gain, subject to the tax treatment described below under the heading “Gain on Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class B Common Stock.”
Subject to the discussion of effectively connected income below and the discussions below under the headings “Information Reporting and Backup Withholding” and “Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act”, dividends paid to a non-U.S. holder generally will be subject to withholding of U.S. federal income tax at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty between the United States and such holder’s country of residence. If we or another withholding agent apply over-withholding or if a non-U.S. holder does not timely provide us with the required certification, the non-U.S. holder may be entitled to a refund or credit of any excess tax withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim with the IRS.
A non-U.S. holder of our Class B common stock who claims the benefit of an applicable income tax treaty between the United States and such holder’s country of residence with respect to U.S. withholding taxes generally will be required to provide a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or applicable successor form) and satisfy applicable certification and other requirements.
A non-U.S. holder that is eligible for a reduced rate of U.S. withholding tax under an income tax treaty may obtain a refund or credit of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim with the IRS. Non-U.S. holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding their entitlement to benefits under a relevant income tax treaty.
Dividends that are treated as effectively connected with a trade or business conducted by a non-U.S. holder within the United States, and, if an applicable income tax treaty so provides, that are attributable to a permanent establishment or a fixed base maintained by the non-U.S. holder within the United States, are generally exempt from the 30% withholding tax if the non-U.S. holder satisfies applicable certification and disclosure requirements. To obtain this exemption, a non-U.S. holder must generally provide a properly executed original and unexpired IRS Form W-8ECI properly certifying such exemption. However, such U.S. effectively connected income is taxed at the same graduated


164


Table of Contents

U.S. federal income tax rates applicable to U.S. persons (as defined in the Code). Any U.S. effectively connected income received by a non-U.S. holder that is a corporation may also, under certain circumstances, be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty between the United States and such holder’s country of residence.
Any documentation provided to an applicable withholding agent may need to be updated in certain circumstances. The certification requirements described above also may require a non-U.S. holder to provide its U.S. taxpayer identification number.
Gain on Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class B Common Stock
Subject to the discussions below under the headings “Information Reporting and Backup Withholding” and “Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act,” a non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax or withholding tax on gain recognized on a sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of our Class B common stock unless:
the gain is effectively connected with the non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States, and, if an applicable income tax treaty so provides, the gain is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the non-U.S. holder in the United States; in these cases, the non-U.S. holder will be taxed on a net income basis at the regular graduated rates and in the manner applicable to United States persons, and, if the non-U.S. holder is a foreign corporation, an additional branch profits tax at a rate of 30%, or a lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty, may also apply;
the non-U.S. holder is an individual present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the disposition and certain other conditions are met, in which case the non-U.S. holder will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on the amount by which the non-U.S. holder’s capital gains allocable to U.S. sources exceed capital losses allocable to U.S. sources during the taxable year of the disposition (without taking into account any capital loss carryovers); or
we are or were a “U.S. real property holding corporation” during a certain look-back period, unless our Class B common stock is regularly traded on an established securities market and the non-U.S. holder held no more than five percent of our outstanding common stock, directly or indirectly, actually or constructively, during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of the disposition or the period that the non-U.S. holder held our Class B common stock. In such case, such non-U.S. holder generally will be taxed on its net gain derived from the disposition at the graduated U.S. federal income tax rates applicable to United States persons (as defined in the Code). Generally, a corporation is a “U.S. real property holding corporation” if the fair market value of its “U.S. real property interests” equals or exceeds 50% of the sum of the fair market value of its worldwide real property interests plus its other assets used or held for use in a trade or business. Although there can be no assurance in this regard, we believe that we have not been and are not currently, and we do not anticipate becoming, a “U.S. real property holding corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
We (or the applicable paying agent) must report annually to the IRS and to each non-U.S. holder the gross amount of the distributions on our Class B common stock paid to such holder and the tax withheld, if any, with respect to such distributions. Non-U.S. holders may have to comply with specific certification procedures to establish that the holder is not a United States person (as defined in the Code) in order to avoid backup withholding at the applicable rate with respect to dividends on our Class B common stock. Generally, a holder will comply with such procedures if it provides a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E or otherwise establishes an exemption.
Information reporting and backup withholding generally will apply to the proceeds of a disposition of our Class B common stock by a non-U.S. holder effected by or through the U.S. office of any broker, U.S. or foreign, unless the holder certifies its status as a non-U.S. holder and satisfies certain other requirements, or otherwise establishes an exemption. Generally, information reporting and backup withholding will not apply to a payment of disposition proceeds to a non-U.S. holder where the transaction is effected outside the United States through a foreign broker. However, for information reporting purposes, dispositions effected through a non-U.S. office of a broker with substantial U.S.


165


Table of Contents

ownership or operations generally will be treated in a manner similar to dispositions effected through a U.S. office of a broker. Non-U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of the information reporting and backup withholding rules to them.
Copies of information returns may be made available to the tax authorities of the country in which the non-U.S. holder resides or is incorporated under the provisions of a specific treaty or agreement. Any documentation provided to an applicable withholding agent may need to be updated in certain circumstances.
Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules from a payment to a non-U.S. holder may be refunded or credited against the non-U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, provided that an appropriate claim is timely filed with the IRS.
Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act
Legislation commonly referred to as the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act and associated guidance, or collectively, FATCA, will generally impose a 30% withholding tax on any “withholdable payment” (as defined below) to a “foreign financial institution” (as defined in the Code), unless such institution enters into an agreement with the U.S. government to collect and provide to the U.S. tax authorities substantial information regarding U.S. account holders of such institution (which would include certain equity and debt holders of such institution, as well as certain account holders that are foreign entities with United States owners) or another applicable exception applies or such institution is compliant with applicable foreign law enacted in connection with an applicable intergovernmental agreement between the United States and a foreign jurisdiction. FATCA will also generally impose a 30% withholding tax on any “withholdable payment” (as defined below) to a foreign entity that is not a financial institution, unless such entity provides the withholding agent with a certification identifying the substantial U.S. owners of the entity (which generally includes any United States person who directly or indirectly owns more than 10% of the entity), if any, or another applicable exception applies or such entity is compliant with applicable foreign law enacted in connection with an applicable intergovernmental agreement between the United States and a foreign jurisdiction. Under certain circumstances, a non-U.S. holder might be eligible for refunds or credits of such taxes.
Under final regulations and other current guidance, the withholding provisions described above apply currently to dividends on our Class B common stock and will apply to the gross proceeds of a disposition of our Class B common stock on or after January 1, 2019. The FATCA withholding tax will apply regardless of whether a payment would otherwise be exempt from or not subject to U.S. nonresident withholding tax (e.g., as capital gain).
Federal Estate Tax
Class B common stock owned or treated as owned by an individual who is a non-U.S. holder (as specially defined for U.S. federal estate tax purposes) at the time of death will be included in the individual’s gross estate for U.S. federal estate tax purposes and, therefore, may be subject to U.S. federal estate tax, unless an applicable estate tax or other treaty provides otherwise.
The preceding discussion of material U.S. federal tax considerations is for general information only. It is not tax advice. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors regarding the particular U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax consequences of purchasing, holding and disposing of our Class B common stock, including the consequences of any proposed changes in applicable laws.

The underwriters and the representatives are collectively referred to as the “underwriters” and the “representatives,” respectively. The underwriters are offering the shares of Class B common stock subject to their acceptance of the shares from us and subject to prior sale. The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the several underwriters to pay for and accept delivery of the shares of Class B common stock offered by this prospectus are subject to the approval of certain legal matters by their counsel and to certain other conditions. The underwriters are obligated to take and pay for all of the shares of Class B common stock offered by this prospectus if any such shares are taken. However, the underwriters are not required to take or pay for the shares covered by the underwriters’ over-allotment option described below. The offering of the shares of Class B common stock by the underwriters is subject to receipt and acceptance and subject to the underwriters’ right to reject any order in whole or in part.
The underwriters initially propose to offer part of the shares of Class B common stock directly to the public at the offering price listed on the cover page of this prospectus and part to certain dealers. After the initial offering of the shares of Class B common stock, the offering price and other selling terms may from time to time be varied by the representatives.
We have granted to the underwriters an option, exercisable for 30 days from the date of this prospectus, to purchase up to                additional shares of Class B common stock at the public offering price listed on the cover page of this prospectus, less underwriting discounts and commissions. The underwriters may exercise this option solely for the purpose of covering over-allotments, if any, made in connection with the offering of the shares of Class B common stock offered by this prospectus. To the extent the option is exercised, each underwriter will become obligated, subject to certain conditions, to purchase about the same percentage of the additional shares of Class B common stock as the number listed next to the underwriter’s name in the preceding table bears to the total number of shares of Class B common stock listed next to the names of all underwriters in the preceding table.

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, lend or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of common stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of common stock;

In order to facilitate the offering of the Class B common stock, the underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the Class B common stock. Specifically, the underwriters may sell more shares than they are obligated to purchase under the underwriting agreement, creating a short position. A short sale is covered if the short position is no greater than the number of shares available for purchase by the underwriters under the over-allotment option. The underwriters can close out a covered short sale by exercising the over-allotment option or purchasing shares in the open market. In determining the source of shares to close out a covered short sale, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the open market price of shares compared to the price available under the over-allotment option. The underwriters may also sell shares in excess of the over-allotment option, creating a naked short position. The underwriters must close out any naked short position by purchasing shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the Class B common stock in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in this offering. As an additional means of facilitating this offering, the underwriters may bid for, and purchase, shares of Class B common stock in the open market to stabilize the price of the Class B common stock. These activities may raise or maintain the market price of the Class B common stock above independent market levels or prevent or retard a decline in the market price of the Class B common stock. The underwriters are not required to engage in these activities and may end any of these activities at any time.
We and the underwriters have agreed to indemnify each other against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on websites maintained by one or more underwriters, or selling group members, if any, participating in this offering. The representatives may agree to allocate a number of shares of Class B common stock to underwriters for sale to their online brokerage account holders. Internet distributions will be allocated by the representatives to underwriters that may make Internet distributions on the same basis as other allocations.
Other 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.

In addition, 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 may at any time hold long and short positions in such securities and instruments. Such investment and securities activities may involve our securities and instruments. The underwriters and their respective affiliates may also make investment recommendations 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 or short positions in such securities and instruments.
Pricing of the Offering
Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our Class B common stock. The initial public offering price was determined by negotiations between us and the representatives. Among the factors considered in determining the initial public offering price were our future prospects and those of our industry in general, our sales, earnings and certain other financial and operating information in recent periods, and the price-earnings ratios, price-sales ratios, market prices of securities, and certain financial and operating information of companies engaged in activities similar to ours.
Directed Share Program
At our request, the underwriters have reserved for sale, at the initial public offering price, up to 7% of the shares of our Class B common stock offered hereby for persons associated with us who have expressed an interest in purchasing our Class B common stock in this offering. None of our directors, executive officers, or employees will purchase shares of our Class B common stock in the directed share program.  The number of shares of our Class B common stock available for sale to the general public in this offering will be reduced to the extent these persons purchase the reserved shares of our Class B common stock. Any reserved shares of our Class B common stock not so purchased will be offered by the underwriters to the general public on the same terms as the other shares of our Class B common stock. Participants in the directed share program will not be subject to the lock-up restriction with the underwriters with respect to any shares of our Class B common stock purchased through the directed share program.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Qualtrics International Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Qualtrics International Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2016 and 2017, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), redeemable convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2016 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2013.

Qualtrics International Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Description of the Business
Business
Qualtrics International Inc. (“Qualtrics” or “the Company”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware in September 2014. Qualtrics has built the first experience management platform (“XM Platform”) to manage customer, employee, brand, and product experiences. The Company sells subscriptions to its XM Platform.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Qualtrics and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
On January 1, 2017, the Company early adopted the requirements of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The Company’s adoption of Topic 606 is discussed in detail below in Recently adopted accounting pronouncements. Topic 606 establishes a principle for recognizing revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the expected consideration received in exchange for those goods or services. Topic 606 also includes Subtopic 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs—Contracts with Customers, which requires the deferral of incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. Collectively, references to Topic 606 used herein refer to both Topic 606 and Subtopic 340-40. The Company adopted Topic 606 with retrospective application to the beginning of the earliest period presented.
Unaudited interim consolidated financial statements
The accompanying interim consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2018, the consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018, and the consolidated statement of redeemable convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ deficit for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and the related footnote disclosures are unaudited. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The interim consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and do not include all disclosures normally required in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. In management’s opinion, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary to state fairly our financial position as of June 30, 2018, and the results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018. The financial data and the other information disclosed in these notes are unaudited. The results for the six months ended June 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for the full fiscal 2018 year or any future period.
Unaudited pro forma statement of stockholder’s equity (deficit) and pro forma net income (loss) per share
Upon the consummation of the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”), all of the 366,063,755 shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock will convert into an equivalent number of shares of common stock. The accompanying pro forma stockholders’ deficit information as of June 30, 2018 (unaudited) has been prepared assuming the automatic conversion of all outstanding shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock into 366,063,755 shares of common stock. The unaudited pro forma net income (loss) per share for the year ended December 31, 2017 and for the six months ended June 30, 2018 has been computed to give effect to the automatic conversion of the Company’s redeemable convertible preferred stock into common stock as though the conversion had occurred as of the beginning of the period.
As described in detail in Note 12 and “Stock-Based Compensation” below, the Company has granted two-tier restricted stock (“RSAs”) and two-tier restricted stock units (“RSUs”) that vest upon the satisfaction of both a service-based vesting condition and a liquidity event-related performance vesting condition, defined as the earlier of (i) an


F-11


Table of Contents

acquisition or change in control of the Company or (ii) upon the occurrence of an initial public offering by the Company. A change in control event and effective registration event are not deemed probable until consummated. At the time the performance vesting condition becomes probable, the Company will recognize the cumulative stock-based compensation expense for the two-tier RSAs and RSUs that have met their service-based vesting condition using the accelerated attribution method. Accordingly, the unaudited pro forma stockholder’s deficit information as of June 30, 2018, gives effect to stock-based compensation expense of approximately $73.9 million associated with these awards using the accelerated attribution method. This pro forma adjustment related to stock-based compensation expense of approximately $73.9 million has been reflected as an increase to additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit. The unaudited pro forma stockholders’ deficit gives effect to the assumed conversion of the two-tier RSAs and RSUs that had satisfied the service-based vesting condition and the performance vesting condition as of June 30, 2018, and will convert into             shares of Class B common stock, net of            shares repurchased for tax withholding obligations.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet date, as well as reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The Company’s most significant estimates and judgments involve revenue recognition with respect to the determination of the standalone selling prices for the Company’s services, deferred contract acquisition costs, the period of benefit generated from deferred contract acquisition costs, valuation of the Company’s stock-based compensation, including the underlying deemed estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock, valuation of deferred income tax assets and liabilities, uncertain tax positions, contingencies, goodwill and intangible assets, and litigation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Segments
Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is the CODM. The Company’s CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and evaluating financial performance. As such, the Company has determined that it operates in one operating and one reportable segment.
Foreign currency transactions
The assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated from their respective functional currencies into U.S. dollars at the rates in effect at the balance sheet date and revenue and expense amounts are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. Foreign currency translation gains and losses are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). Exchange rate differences resulting from translation adjustments are accounted for as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
Gains and losses, whether realized or unrealized, from foreign currency transactions (those transactions denominated in currencies other than the entities’ functional currency) are included in other income (expense), net. The Company recorded $0.6 million in net foreign currency transaction losses in the year ended December 31, 2016, and $1.0 million in net foreign currency transaction gains in the year ended December 31, 2017. The Company recorded $0.6 million and $(0.1) million in net foreign currency transaction gains (losses) for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018 (unaudited), respectively.
Revenue recognition
The Company elected to early adopt Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, using the full retrospective transition method. Under this method, the Company is presenting the consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017 as if Topic 606 had been effective for those periods.


F-12


Table of Contents

The Company recognizes revenue from its service/product lines when control is transferred to its customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for the services. Sales and other taxes collected from customers to be remitted to government authorities are excluded from revenue. The Company accounts for revenue contracts with customers by applying the requirements of Topic 606, which includes the following steps:
Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer
Identification of the performance obligations in a contract
Determination of the transaction price
Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
Recognition of revenue when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied
The Company derives revenue from three solutions:
Subscription revenue
The Company generates revenue primarily from sales of subscriptions to access its XM Platform, together with related support services to its customers. Arrangements with customers do not provide the customer with the right to take possession of the software operating the XM Platform at any time. Instead, customers are granted continuous access to the XM Platform over the contractual period. Access to our platform represents a series of distinct services as the Company continually provides access to, and fulfills its obligation to the end customer over the subscription term. The series of distinct services represents a single performance obligation that is satisfied over time. Accordingly, the fixed consideration related to subscription revenue is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract term, beginning on the date that the service is made available to the customer.
The Company’s subscription contracts generally have annual contractual terms while some have multi-year contractual terms. The Company generally bills annually in advance with net 30 payment terms. The Company’s agreements generally cannot be canceled with refund.
Research on Demand revenue
Research on Demand is a solution provided to existing subscription customers. Research on Demand arrangements are distinct from subscription revenue services. Research on Demand revenue is recognized upon completion, because completion and delivery of the results is considered a separate performance obligation satisfied at a point in time.
Professional services and other revenue
Professional services and other revenue includes fees associated with new and expanding customers requesting implementation, integration services, and other ancillary services. These services are distinct from subscription revenue services. Revenue from professional services and other revenue related to customized software coding is recognized upon completion, because the customer consumes the intended benefit and assumes control upon final completion of the custom coding. Revenue from professional services and other revenue related to implementation and other ancillary services is recognized as the services are performed, because the customer consumes the benefit as the services are provided.
Contracts with Multiple Performance Obligations
Some contracts with customers contain multiple performance obligations. For these contracts, the Company accounts for individual performance obligations separately, if they are distinct. The transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. The Company determines standalone selling prices considering market conditions and based on overall pricing objectives such as observable standalone selling prices, and other factors, including the value of contracts, types of services sold, customer demographics, and the number and types of users within such contracts.

Variable Consideration
If the Company’s services do not meet certain service level commitments, certain customers are entitled to receive service credits, and in certain cases, refunds, each representing a form of variable consideration. Historically, the Company has not experienced any significant incidents affecting the defined levels of reliability and performance as required by its subscription contracts. Accordingly, any estimated refunds related to these agreements in the consolidated financial statements is not material during the periods presented.
The Company applied the practical expedient in Topic 606 and did not evaluate contracts of one year or less for the existence of a significant financing component. The Company determined that no significant financing component existed on its multi-year contracts, as these contracts were structured for purposes other than obtaining financing from customers. Additionally, prices are generally fixed at contract inception; therefore, the Company’s contracts do not contain a significant amount of variable consideration.
Contract Balances
The Company bills in advance for annual contracts, and at times enters into non-cancelable multi-year deals. Non-cancelable multi-year deals typically include price escalations each year. The Company recognizes revenue on a straight-line basis over the non-cancelable term and accounts for the difference between straight-line revenue and annual invoice amounts as a contract asset. These current and noncurrent amounts of contract assets included in prepaid and other current assets and other assets were de minimis as of December 31, 2016. The current and noncurrent portion of contract assets included in prepaid and other current assets and other assets as of December 31, 2017 were $0.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively. The current and noncurrent portion of contract assets included in prepaid and other current assets and other assets as of June 30, 2018 (unaudited) were $0.2 million and $1.1 million, respectively.
The Company records contract liabilities to deferred revenue when cash payments are received or due in advance of performance. Deferred revenue primarily relates to the advance consideration received from the customer. The following table shows the amount of revenue included in prior period deferred revenue for each of the Company’s revenue generating solutions (in thousands):

Stock-based compensation
The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for stock-based payment awards, including restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and stock options granted to employees and advisors, based on the grant date fair value of the awards. Awards granted to non-employees are marked-to-market each quarter. The grant date fair value of stock options is estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of stock-based compensation for stock options is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period during which services are provided in exchange for the award. The grant date fair value of RSAs and RSUs is estimated based on the fair value of the underlying common stock.
As discussed in detail in Note 12, the Company issues two types of RSAs, one-tier and two-tier. One-tier RSAs vests solely on a service-based condition.  For these awards, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Two-tier RSAs contain both a service-based condition and performance condition, defined as the earlier of (i) an acquisition or change in control of the Company or (ii) upon the occurrence of an initial public offering by the Company. A change in control event and effective registration event are not deemed probable until consummated; accordingly, no expense is recorded related to two-tier RSAs until the performance condition becomes probable of occurring. Awards which contain both service-based and performance conditions are recognized using the accelerated attribution method once the performance condition is probable of occurring.
As discussed in detail in Note 12, all of the Company’s RSUs contain both a service-based condition and performance condition, defined as the earlier of (i) an acquisition or change in control of the Company or (ii) upon the occurrence of an initial public offering by the Company. A change in control event and effective registration event are not deemed probable until consummated; accordingly, no expense is recorded related to RSUs until the performance condition becomes probable of occurring. Awards which contain both service-based and performance conditions are recognized using the accelerated attribution method once the performance condition is probable of occurring.
On January 1, 2017, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-09: Improvement to Employee Share-based Payment Accounting (Topic 718) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, which among other items, provides an accounting policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur, rather than to account for them based on an estimate of expected forfeitures. The Company elected to account for forfeitures as they occur and therefore, stock-based


F-15


Table of Contents

compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2017, and for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018, have been calculated based on actual forfeitures in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The net cumulative effect of this change as of January 1, 2017, was not material.
Net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders
Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders is presented in conformity with the two-class method required for participating securities. The Company considers all of its redeemable convertible preferred stock to be participating securities. Under the two-class method, the net loss attributable to common stockholders is not allocated to the redeemable convertible preferred stock as the holders of redeemable convertible preferred stock do not have a contractual obligation to share in losses. The Company allocates net income attributed to common stockholders to the redeemable convertible preferred stock on an as if converted basis, as the holders of redeemable convertible preferred stock have preference to any dividends declared.
Under the two-class method, basic net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders adjusts basic earnings per share for the potentially dilutive impact of redeemable convertible preferred stock, one-tier restricted stock and stock options. In periods where basic earnings per share is negative, all potentially dilutive securities are antidilutive and accordingly, basic net loss per share equals diluted net loss per share. In periods where basic earnings per share is positive, dilutive securities increase the weighted average shares used in computing diluted earnings per share and accordingly, diluted earnings per share is less than basis earnings per share.
Cost of revenue
Cost of revenue includes expenses related to operating the Company’s cloud platform in data centers, depreciation of the Company’s data center equipment, and the amortization of the Company’s capitalized internal-use software and acquired technology. Cost of revenue also includes employee-related costs, including salaries, bonuses, stock-based compensation expense, and employee benefit costs associated with the Company’s customer support and cloud operations organizations. Additionally, the Company makes allocations of certain overhead costs, primarily based on headcount.
Advertising and promotional expense
Advertising and promotional expenses are expensed as incurred. Advertising and promotional expenses for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017 and for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018 (unaudited) were $1.4 million, $1.8 million, $0.4 million, and $0.7 million, respectively.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents at financial institutions, which at times may not be federally insured or may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risks on such accounts. Cash and cash equivalents are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value.
Accounts receivable and allowances
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of allowances. Accounts receivable are typically due within 30 days from the date of invoice. Customer balances outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due.
In the event of lack of payment from a customer for issues unrelated to credit risk, the Company cancels the customer’s subscription access or service and writes off the corresponding accounts receivable with reductions to


F-16


Table of Contents

revenue and deferred revenue. Write-offs to revenue and deferred revenue from cancellations are based upon the composition of revenue recognized and deferred revenue remaining at the time of cancellation.
In the event of lack of payment due to a bankruptcy or other credit-related issues of a customer, the Company writes off the related accounts receivable with a charge to bad debt expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). Bad debt expense was not material for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017, or for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018 (unaudited).
The Company considers the lack of payment for issues unrelated to credit risk to be variable consideration and estimates the impact to revenue and deferred revenue on a portfolio basis. This estimated allowance is based upon historical cancellation patterns due to lack of payment, the number of days that billings are past due, and an evaluation of the potential risk of loss associated with problem accounts. The Company continuously monitors the adequacy of the allowance by comparing actual write offs against the estimated allowance and updates estimates as needed. Allowances are recorded and adjusted based upon historical patterns related to the timing of cancellations. Adjustments to the allowance are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets with an offsetting adjustment to deferred revenue and revenue in the consolidated statements of operations. Write-offs to accounts receivable in a period are recorded in the activity in the allowance for that period. The Company believes that its allowances are adequate to absorb any known or probable uncollectible amounts due to service cancellations or customer credit risk.
The Company’s allowances consist of the following activity (in thousands):

Concentration of credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and, generally, requires no collateral from its customers. No customer accounted for more than 15% of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2016 and 2017, and as of June 30, 2018 (unaudited). No single customer accounted for 10% or more of total revenue during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017, and the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018 (unaudited).
Deferred contract acquisition costs, net
Deferred contract acquisition costs, net is stated at gross deferred contract acquisition costs less accumulated amortization. Sales commissions and related payroll taxes for initial SaaS subscription contracts earned by the Company’s sales force are considered to be incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. As a result, these amounts have been capitalized as deferred contract acquisition costs on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company deferred incremental costs of obtaining a contract of $12.9 million, $20.3 million, $10.5 million, and $13.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017, and the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018 (unaudited), respectively.


F-17


Table of Contents

Sales commissions for renewal contracts are not considered commensurate with the commissions paid for the acquisition of an initial SaaS subscription contract, given the substantive difference in commission rates in proportion to their respective contract values. After the conclusion of the initial contract period, commissions paid on subsequent renewals are commensurate year after year. As such, the Company expenses renewal commissions as incurred.
Deferred contract acquisition costs are amortized over an estimated period of benefit of five years. The period of benefit was estimated by considering factors such as estimated average customer life, the rate of technological change in the subscription service, and the impact of competition in its industry. As the Company’s average customer life significantly exceeded the rate of change in its technology, the Company concluded that the rate of change in the technology underlying the Company’s subscription service was the most significant factor in determining the period of benefit for which the asset relates. In evaluating the rate of change in the technology, the Company considered the competition in the industry, its commitment to continuous innovation, and the frequency of product, platform, and technology updates. The Company determined that the impact of competition in the industry is reflected in the period of benefit through the rate of technological change.
Amortized costs were $6.5 million, $9.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017, and $4.4 million, and $6.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018 (unaudited), respectively. Amortized costs are included in sales and marketing expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. There was no impairment loss in relation to the deferred costs for any period presented.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated asset lives. Routine maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred. Expenditures that materially increase values, change capacities, or extend the useful lives of the respective assets are capitalized. Upon retirement or disposition of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in operations. The estimated useful lives by asset classification are generally as follows:
Computer equipment
3-5 years
Furniture and fixtures
5-10 years
Server equipment
5 years
Vehicles
3 years
Internal-use software
2 years
Leasehold improvements
Lesser of useful life or lease term
Property and equipment subject to depreciation is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If indicators of impairment exist, recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.
If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. There was no impairment of property and equipment during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017, and the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018 (unaudited).

Lease obligations
The Company leases facilities under non-cancelable lease agreements. Certain of the operating lease agreements contain rent concessions and rent escalations. Rent concession and rent escalation provisions are considered in determining the straight-line rent expense to be recorded over the lease term. The lease term begins on the date the Company has the right to use the leased property for purposes of recognizing lease expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
During 2015, the Company entered into a lease agreement with an entity owned by certain Company stockholders, as described in Note 15, “Related-Party Transactions.”
Internal-use software
The Company capitalizes certain development costs incurred in connection with its internal-use software. These capitalized costs are primarily related to the software platforms that are hosted by the Company and accessed by its customers on a subscription basis. Costs incurred in the preliminary stages of development are expensed as incurred as research and development costs. Once an application has reached the development stage, internal and external costs, if direct and incremental, are capitalized until the software is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. The Company also capitalizes costs related to specific upgrades and enhancements when it is probable the expenditures will result in additional functionality. Capitalized costs are recorded as part of property and equipment. Maintenance and training costs are expensed as incurred. Internal-use software is amortized on a straight line basis over its estimated useful life of 24 months. The Company recognized amortization expenses of $5.3 million, $6.7 million, $3.2 million, and $4.0 million related to capitalized internal-use software for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017, and the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018 (unaudited), respectively, within cost of subscription revenue.
Business combinations
The Company uses best estimates and assumptions to assign fair values to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations as of the acquisition date. These estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. During the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, adjustments to the fair value of these tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed may be recorded, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the fair value of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
Goodwill and other intangible assets
The Company records goodwill when 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 rather is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if facts and circumstances warrant a review. The Company has determined that there is a single reporting unit for the purpose of goodwill impairment tests, which are performed annually on October 1st or more frequently if certain indicators are present. For purposes of assessing the impairment of goodwill, the Company annually estimates the fair value of the reporting unit and compares this amount to the carrying value of the reporting unit. If the Company determines that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an


F-19


Table of Contents

impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. There was no impairment of goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017.
Other intangible assets, consisting of developed technology, customer relationships, tradenames, purchased license agreements, and purchased patents, are stated 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. Developed technology is amortized over 5 to 6 years and included in cost of subscription revenue. The developed technology’s weighted average remaining amortization period is 4.5 years as of June 30, 2018 (unaudited). Customer relationships are amortized over 1 to 9 years and included in sales and marketing expense. The customer relationships’ weighted average remaining amortization period is 8.4 years as of June 30, 2018 (unaudited). Tradenames are amortized over 5 years into general and administrative expense. The tradenames’ remaining weighted average amortization period is 4.8 years as of June 30, 2018 (unaudited). Purchased license agreements are determined to have definite lives and are amortized on a straight line basis over their estimated remaining economic lives of 4 years. The purchased license agreements’ weighted average remaining amortization period is 3.8 years as of June 30, 2018 (unaudited). Amortization expense related to the license agreements is included in cost of subscription revenue. Purchased patents are determined to have definite lives and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated remaining economic lives, ranging from 9 to 18 years. The patents’ weighted average remaining amortization period is 10.3 years as of June 30, 2018 (unaudited). Amortization expense related to the patents is included in general and administrative expense.
Deferred offering costs
Deferred offering costs, which consist of direct incremental legal, accounting, and consulting fees relating to an anticipated initial public offering, are capitalized. The deferred offering costs will be offset against initial public offering proceeds upon the consummation of the offering. In the event the offering is terminated, the deferred offering costs will be expensed. As of December 31, 2016 and 2017, and June 30, 2018 (unaudited), the Company had capitalized $0.1 million of deferred offering costs within other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.
Income taxes
On December 22, 2017, the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”) was enacted into law and the new legislation contains several key tax provisions that affect the Company, including the reduction of the corporate income tax rate to 21%, effective January 1, 2018. The Company is required to recognize the effect of the tax law changes in the period of enactment. As such, the Company has remeasured its consolidated deferred tax assets and liabilities for all periods presented to reflect the lower rate and has also reassessed the net realizability of those deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Deferred income tax balances reflect the effects of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply when taxes are actually paid or recovered. In addition, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for net operating loss (“NOL”) and credit carryforwards.
A valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that they will be realized based on all available positive and negative evidence. Such evidence includes, but is not limited to, recent cumulative earnings or losses, expectations of future taxable income by taxing jurisdiction, and the carry-forward periods available for the utilization of deferred tax assets.
The Company uses a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain income tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount, which is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. Significant judgment is required to evaluate uncertain tax positions.
Although the Company believes that it has adequately reserved for its uncertain tax positions, it can provide no assurance that the final tax outcome of these matters will not be materially different. The Company evaluates its uncertain tax positions on a regular basis and evaluations are based on a number of factors, including changes in facts and


F-20


Table of Contents

circumstances, changes in tax law, such as the Tax Act, correspondence with tax authorities during the course of an audit, and effective settlement of audit issues.
To the extent that the final tax outcome of these matters is different than the amounts recorded, such differences will affect the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made and could have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
Fair value measurement
The Company applies fair value accounting for all financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The Company defines fair value as 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. When determining fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as risks inherent in valuation techniques, transfer restrictions, and credit risk. 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— Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2— Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and 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 assets or liabilities.
Level 3— Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
Warranty and indemnification
The Company includes service level commitments to its customers warranting certain levels of uptime reliability and performance and permitting those customers to receive credits in the event that the Company fails to meet those levels. To date, the Company has not incurred any material costs related to such commitments.
The Company’s contracts include provisions indemnifying customers against liabilities if its products infringe a third-party’s intellectual property rights. The Company has not incurred any costs as a result of such indemnification and has not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and Subtopic 340-40Other Assets and Deferred Costs—Contracts with Customers (Subtopic 340-40). Topic 606 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 605, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), and requires the recognition of revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the considerations to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Subtopic 340-40 requires the deferral of incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. Collectively, reference to Topic 606 used herein refers to both Topic 606 and Subtopic 340-40.
The standard becomes effective for nonpublic entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company early adopted the requirements of Topic 606 as of January 1, 2017, utilizing the full retrospective method of transition.
The adoption of Topic 606 resulted in changes to the Company’s accounting policies for revenue recognition and deferred contract acquisition costs. The primary impact of adopting Topic 606 relates to the deferral of incremental costs of obtaining customer contracts and the amortization of those costs over a period of benefit. Prior to adopting the new standard, deferral of commissions was not required, and the Company's policy was to expense commission costs

as incurred. Under Topic 606, the Company defers all incremental costs to obtain the contract, which primarily include sales commissions and related payroll taxes. The Company amortizes these costs over a period of benefit of five years. The deferral of incremental costs resulted in a cumulative adjustment to accumulated deficit of $18.6 million on January 1, 2016. The impact of adopting Topic 606 on the Company’s revenue was not material to any of the periods presented.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (Topic 718), which aligns with the FASB’s current simplification initiatives. The major area of simplification in ASU No. 2016-09 is accounting for forfeitures as they occur instead of estimating the number of awards expected to be forfeited and adjusting the estimate when it is no longer probable that the employee will fulfill the service condition. This standard was effective for nonpublic entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company elected to early adopt ASU No. 2016-09 effective as of January 1, 2017. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations, Clarifying the Definition of a Business (Topic 805), which clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. ASU No. 2017-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those years, and is applied prospectively when adopted. Early adoption is permitted. The Company elected to adopt ASU No. 2017-01 as of January 1, 2017. The adoption of the guidance did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Goodwill and Other, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (Topic 350), which amends the guidance in ASC Topic 350 to eliminate Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The updated guidance requires an entity to perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. ASU No. 2017-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and is applied prospectively when adopted. Early adoption is permitted. The Company elected to early adopt ASU No. 2017-04 as of January 1, 2017. The adoption of the guidance did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows, Restricted Cash (Topic 230), which amends the guidance in ASC Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows, and requires that entities show the changes in total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and restricted cash equivalents in the statements of cash flows. As a result, entities will no longer present transfers between cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. ASU No. 2016-18 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years, and is applied retrospectively when adopted. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2018. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting, which amends the guidance in ASC Topic 718. The standard provides clarity and reduces the cost and complexity when applying the guidance in ASC Topic 718 to a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. ASU No. 2017-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2018. The adoption of the guidance did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Most prominent among the changes in the standard is the recognition of right of use assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under current GAAP. Under the standard, disclosures are required to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The Company will be required to recognize and measure leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented using a modified retrospective approach, with certain practical expedients available. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the


F-22


Table of Contents

initial stage of its assessment of the new standard and is currently evaluating the timing of adoption, the quantitative impact of adoption, and the related disclosure requirements. The Company anticipates the adoption of this standard will result in a substantial increase in its non-current assets and liabilities recorded on the consolidated balance sheets. The adoption of the standard is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated statement of operations. While the Company is assessing all potential impacts of the adoption of the standard, it currently expects the most significant impact to be the capitalization of right of use assets and lease liabilities for its office spaces.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU 2018-07 simplifies the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees by aligning it with the accounting for share-based payments to employees, with certain exceptions. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

6. Business Combinations
In May 2016, the Company acquired the outstanding stock of Statwing, Inc. (“Statwing”), a statistical analysis software provider. The assets, liabilities, and operating results of Statwing are reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the effects of the acquisition were not material to the consolidated financial statements. On the closing date, the Company paid approximately $1.0 million in cash, net of cash assumed in the acquisition, and issued 69,160 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at approximately $0.1 million on the closing date. Additional consideration of $0.2 million in cash and 12,459 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $20,000 on the closing date was withheld for 18 months following the close of the transaction as protection against certain breaches of representations and warranties covered in the purchase agreement. The Company recorded a tax benefit of $0.2 million as a result of a valuation allowance reversal related to deferred tax liabilities generated from the acquisition.
In March 2018 (unaudited), the Company acquired the outstanding stock of Delighted, Inc. (“Delighted”), a customer experience measurement and rating company. The assets, liabilities, and operating results of Delighted are reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the effects of the acquisition were not material to the consolidated financial statements. On the closing date, the Company paid approximately $7.0 million in cash, net of cash assumed in the acquisition. The Company recorded a tax benefit of $0.8 million as a result of a valuation allowance reversal related to deferred tax liabilities generated from the acquisition. The acquisition resulted in a deferred tax liability of $0.8 million, mostly due to basis differences in acquired intangible assets. After recording the deferred tax liability through purchase accounting, the Company determined its existing deferred tax assets (primarily consisting of net operating loss carryovers and tax credits) could be applied against the deferred tax liability of Delighted and reduced its valuation allowance, resulting in a benefit to the tax provision. The Company had previously recorded a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, after assessing all available evidence, both positive and negative, including historical levels of income, legislative developments, expectations, and risks associated with estimates of future taxable income, and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies.

The goodwill arising from the acquisitions discussed above consists largely of the synergies and economies of scale the Company hopes to achieve from combining the acquired assets and operations with its historical operations. Acquisition-related costs were not material for either acquisition and were expensed as incurred and included in general and administrative expenses.

9. Commitments and Contingencies
Leases
The Company has entered into various non-cancelable operating lease agreements for certain offices and data centers with contractual lease periods expiring at various dates through 2029. The facility lease agreements generally provide for escalating rental payments and for options to renew, which could increase future minimum lease payments if exercised. The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease period and accounts for the difference between straight-line rent and actual lease payments as deferred rent.
Rent expense related to the operating leases for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017, and the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018 (unaudited), was $9.2 million, $8.6 million, $4.0 million, and $4.8 million, respectively.
An unconditional bank guarantee for $0.8 million with an expiration date of December 31, 2020, was outstanding as of December 31, 2016 and 2017, and June 30, 2018 (unaudited). This bank guarantee is required by the lease agreement on the Company’s Sydney, Australia office.
In March 2018, the Company entered into a lease commitment for additional office space that is yet to be constructed in Dublin, Ireland. Upon delivery of the constructed office space, the Company will pay approximately $1.9 million per annum to lease the space. The Company expects the constructed office space to be delivered in 2020. The lease agreement is for 15-years, with a termination option at the election of the Company at the end of the 8th year. There was no accounting impact with regards to this lease as of June 30, 2018 (unaudited).

Legal Matters
From time to time, the Company is a party to a variety of claims, lawsuits, and proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business, including claims of alleged infringement of intellectual property rights. The Company records a liability when it believes that it is probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount of loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Given the unpredictable nature of legal proceedings, the Company bases its estimate on the information available at the time of the assessment. As additional information becomes available, the Company reassesses the potential liability and may revise the estimate. The Company is not presently a party to any litigation the outcome of which, it believes, if determined adversely to the Company, would individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on the business, operating results, or financial condition.
10. Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock
The Company has elected to follow the SEC staff’s guidance (included in ASC 480-10-S99, SEC Materials) when evaluating the classification for its shares within the balance sheets. A liquidation or winding up of the Company, a greater than 50% change in control, or a sale of substantially all of its assets would constitute a redemption event. Although the majority of the Company’s preferred stock is not mandatorily or currently redeemable, a liquidation or winding up of the Company would constitute an event outside its control. Therefore, all shares of preferred stock have been presented outside of permanent equity for all periods presented due to being contingently redeemable.
In March 2017, the Company executed the following transaction:
The holders of Series A preferred stock exchanged all of their shares for Series B-1 preferred stock. The holders of Series B preferred stock exchanged 33,226,176 of their shares for Series A-1 preferred stock and 2,800,000 of their shares for Series A-3 preferred stock. The holders of Series C preferred stock exchanged all of their shares for Series B-2 preferred stock. The holders of Series D preferred stock exchanged all of their shares for Series A-2 preferred stock. The holders of Series E preferred stock exchanged all of their shares for Series B-4 preferred stock.
The Company issued 20,204,436 shares of Series B-3 preferred stock at a price of approximately $6.19 per share. The Company issued 4,849,065 shares of Series B-5 preferred stock at a price of approximately $6.19 per share. Proceeds from the issuance of Series B-3 and B-5 preferred stock, net of issuance costs, were $154.8 million.
The Company repurchased 8,081,774 shares of Series A-1 preferred stock for $50.0 million. The Company repurchased 12,122,661 shares of Series A-2 preferred stock for $75.0 million. The repurchase price per share was equal to the issuance price per share of the Series B-3 and B-5 preferred stock. The price paid for these shares was equal to the fair value of the shares at the time of purchase. As such, no compensation expense was recorded in relation to any premium over fair value. The shares were immediately retired upon repurchase.

Table of Contents

Upon a liquidation event, as defined in the current certificate of incorporation, the holders of Series A-1, Series A-2, Series A-3, Series B-1, Series B-2, Series B-3, Series B-4, and Series B-5 preferred stock are entitled to receive, prior to and in preference to any distribution of the proceeds of such liquidation to common stockholders, an amount per share equal to $0.00, $0.19, $1.00, $1.00, $2.23, $6.19, $2.68, and $6.19, respectively, plus any declared but unpaid dividends on such shares. If the proceeds distributed among the holders of the preferred stock are insufficient to permit the preferred stock holders to receive the full payment noted above, then the entire proceeds legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the preferred stock in proportion to the full preferential amount that each such holder is otherwise entitled to receive.
Dividends
Holders of the Company’s preferred stock are entitled to receive dividends, when, as and if declared by the Company’s Board of Directors, on a pro-rata share ownership basis, prior to and in preference of any dividend paid to holders of the Company’s common stock. Such dividends shall not be cumulative or mandatory. No dividends have been declared in any period presented.

Each holder of preferred stock shall have the right to 10 votes for each share of Class A common stock into which the shares of preferred stock held by such holder could then be converted.
Conversion
As of December 31, 2016, before the transaction described at the beginning of this section had been executed, the Company’s redeemable convertible preferred stock converted to common stock as follows:
Each share of the preferred stock is convertible, at the option of its holder, into the number of shares of common stock, which results from dividing the applicable original issue price per share by the applicable conversion price per share on the date that the share certificate is surrendered for conversion (Conversion Rate). If any share of preferred stock is converted at any time prior to the Company’s first sale of shares of common stock in a firm commitment underwritten public offering, such share of preferred stock shall convert into shares of Class B Common Stock.
Each share of preferred stock shall automatically be converted into shares of common stock at the Conversion Rate at the time in effect for the preferred stock immediately upon the earlier of (1) the closing of a qualified public offering or (2) upon vote or written consent or agreement of the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of preferred stock. Upon the closing of a non-qualified public offering, each share of preferred stock shall convert into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock as is equal to the quotient of (x) the total aggregate amount that all then-outstanding shares of preferred stock would have received in a liquidation event divided by (y) total valuation (on a pre-money basis) of the Company in the non-qualified public offering.
As of December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2018 (unaudited), the Company’s redeemable convertible preferred stock converts to common stock as follows:
At the option of the holder thereof, each share of preferred stock is convertible into a number of shares of Class A common stock that results from dividing the applicable original issue price for such series by the applicable conversion price in effect on the date of conversion (the “Conversion Rate”). Each share of preferred stock will be automatically converted into shares of Class A common stock at the Conversion Rate at the time in effect for such series of preferred stock upon the earlier of (i) the closing of the Company’s sale of its common stock in a firm commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with net proceeds of not less than $50.0 million in the aggregate (“Qualified IPO”), or (ii) the date specified by written consent or agreement of the holders of a majority of the outstanding preferred stock.
11. Common Stock
The Company’s current certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of Class A common stock and Class B common stock. As of December 31, 2016, the Company was authorized to issue 393,000,000 shares of common stock, none of which were designated as Class A common stock and all of which were designated as Class B common stock.

As of December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2018 (unaudited), the Company is authorized to issue 389,068,190 shares of Class A common stock and 431,942,187 shares of Class B common stock. Holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are entitled to dividends on a pro rata basis, when, as, and if declared by the Company’s Board of Directors, subject to the rights of the holders of the Company’s preferred stock. Holders of Class A common stock are entitled to 10 votes per share, and holders of Class B common stock are entitled to one vote per share. Upon a liquidation event, as defined in the current certificate of incorporation, after payments are made to holders of the Company’s preferred stock, any distribution of proceeds to common stockholders will be made on a pro rata basis to the holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock. As of December 31, 2016 and 2017 and June 30, 2018 (unaudited), the Company had 5,539,630 shares, 7,090,504 shares, and 7,245,504 shares of Class B common stock outstanding, respectively. No shares of Class A common stock were outstanding for any of the periods presented.

12. Equity Awards and Stock-Based Compensation
Under the Company’s 2014 Stock Option and Grant Plan, as amended (the “2014 Plan”), the Company may grant stock-based awards to purchase or directly issue shares of common stock to employees, directors, and consultants. As described in Note 2, the Company issues four types of equity awards under the 2014 Plan, 1) one-tier RSAs, 2) two-tier RSAs, 3) two-tier RSUs, and 4) stock options. Each of these types of equity awards were outstanding as of December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2018 (unaudited), as follows:
One-tier RSAs, which have a service-based vesting condition over a four-year period. These awards have a cliff vesting period of one year and continue to vest quarterly thereafter. The Company began granting one-tier RSAs under its 2014 plan in April 2014. The last grant of one-tier RSAs was in August 2014. The Company recognizes compensation expense associated with one-tier RSAs ratably on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.


F-30


Table of Contents

In May 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors allowed holders of one-tier RSAs to sell 1,554,961 shares of one-tier RSAs in an approved tender offer executed by the Company’s investors. The price paid for these shares was equal to the fair value of the shares at the time of purchase.
Two-tier RSAs, which have both a service-based vesting condition and a performance vesting condition. The service-based vesting period for these awards is four years with a cliff vesting period of one year and continue to vest quarterly thereafter. The performance vesting condition is satisfied on the earlier of (i) an acquisition or change in control of the Company or (ii) upon the occurrence of an initial public offering by the Company. The Company began granting two-tier RSAs under its 2014 plan in April 2014 and no longer continues to grant two-tier RSAs.
In May 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a modification, which was the removal of the performance vesting condition for 658,219 shares of two-tier RSAs, and allowed the holders to sell such RSAs in an approved tender offer executed by the Company’s investors. The price paid for the shares was equal to the fair value of the shares on the date of purchase. The Company recorded $4.1 million of stock compensation expense related to the modification.
As of June 30, 2018 (unaudited), no other compensation expense related to two-tier RSAs had been recognized, because the performance vesting condition was not probable.
Two-Tier RSUs, which have both a service-based vesting condition and a performance vesting condition. The service-based vesting period for these awards is generally four years with a cliff vesting period of one year and continue to vest quarterly thereafter. The performance vesting condition is satisfied on the earlier of (i) an acquisition or change in control of the Company or (ii) upon the occurrence of an initial public offering by the Company. The Company began granting two-tier RSUs under its 2014 plan in April 2014 and continues to grant two-tier RSUs.
In April 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a modification, which was the removal of the performance vesting condition for 282,862 shares of two-tier RSUs, and allowed the holders to sell such RSUs in an approved tender offer executed by the Company’s investors. The Company recorded $1.7 million of stock compensation expense related to the modification. These RSUs were purchased at a slight premium over fair value at the date of transaction. The Company recorded an immaterial amount of compensation expense to reflect the premium over fair value.
As of June 30, 2018 (unaudited), no other compensation expense related to two-tier RSUs had been recognized because the performance vesting condition was not satisfied.
For two-tier RSAs and two-tier RSUs, at the time the performance condition becomes probable, the Company will recognize the cumulative stock-based compensation expense for the awards that have met their service-based vesting condition using the accelerated attribution method. If the performance vesting condition had occurred on June 30, 2018 (unaudited), the Company would have recorded approximately $73.9 million of stock-based compensation expense using the accelerated attribution method.
Stock options, which have a service-based vesting period. The Company began granting stock options under its 2014 plan in August 2016 and continues to grant stock options. The Company records compensation expense related to stock options granted to employees and contractors based on the fair values estimated using the Black-Scholes pricing model on the measurement date, and in the case of nonemployees, remeasured at each reporting date over the performance period. This valuation model for stock-based compensation expense requires the Company to make assumptions and judgments about the variables used in the Black-Scholes pricing model, including the fair value of its common stock, expected term, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, and expected dividend yield. These judgments are made as follows:
Fair value of common stock. The absence of an active market for the Company’s common stock requires it to estimate the fair value of its common stock for purposes of granting stock options, granting RSUs, and for determining stock-based compensation expense for the periods presented. The Company obtained contemporaneous third-party valuations to assist in determining the estimated fair value of its common stock. These contemporaneous third-party


F-31

valuations used the methodologies, approaches, and assumptions consistent with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Practice Guide, Valuation of Privately-Held-Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation.
The Company considered numerous factors in assessing the estimated fair value of its common stock, including the rights, preferences, and privileges of its redeemable convertible preferred stock relative to those of its common stock; market multiples of comparable public companies in its industry as indicated by their market capitalization and guideline merger and acquisition transactions; the Company’s performance and market position relative to its competitors, who may change from time to time; the Company’s historical financial results and estimated trends and prospects for its future performance; the economic and competitive environment; the likelihood and timeline of achieving a liquidity event, such as an initial public offering or sale of the Company, given prevailing market conditions; any adjustments necessary to recognize a lack of marketability for its common stock; and precedent sales of or offers to purchase its common stock.
Expected term. The Company estimates the expected term using the simplified method, as the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise activity to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns and post-vesting employment termination behavior. The simplified method calculates the average period the stock options are expected to remain outstanding as the midpoint between the vesting date and the contractual expiration date of the award.
Expected volatility. The expected volatility rate is based on an average of the historical volatilities of the publicly traded equity securities of several entities with characteristics similar to those of the Company, as there has been no public market for the Company’s Class B common stock to date and as a result the Company does not have any trading history of its Class B common stock.
Risk-free interest rate. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury security in effect at the time of grant for maturities corresponding with the expected term of the option.
Expected dividend yield. The Company has not paid and does not expect to pay dividends. Consequently, the Company uses an expected dividend yield of zero.
The fair values of the stock options granted during the years 2016 and 2017, and for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018, were calculated using the following assumptions:

On January 1, 2017, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-09: Improvement to Employee Share-based Payment Accounting (Topic 718) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, which among other items, provides an accounting policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur, rather than to account for them based on an estimate of expected forfeitures. The Company elected to account for forfeitures as they occur and therefore, stock-based compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2017, and for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018 (unaudited), have been calculated based on actual forfeitures in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The net cumulative effect of this change as of January 1, 2017 was not material.

The Company conducts its operations through a limited liability company that is wholly owned within the consolidated group. Accordingly, the outside basis difference in the limited liability company is reflected as both a deferred tax asset and liability, shown as “investment in partnership.”
ASC 740, Income Taxes, provides for the recognition of deferred tax assets if realization of such assets is more likely than not. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance as of December 31, 2017, the Company considered all available evidence, both positive and negative, including historical levels of income, legislative developments, expectations, and risks associated with estimates of future taxable income, and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies.
As of December 31, 2017, the Company recorded the portion of its deferred tax assets that was determined to meet the more likely than not threshold. A valuation allowance was recorded against the remaining deferred tax assets.
As of December 31, 2017, the Company had approximately $39.0 million of consolidated federal NOL carryforwards and $19.6 million of Utah NOL carryforwards available to offset future taxable income, respectively. If unused, the federal and Utah NOL carryforwards will begin to expire in 2035 and 2030, respectively. The Company also had approximately $22.1 million of gross other state NOL carryforwards available to offset future taxable income which will expire in varying amounts between 2025 and 2037. The Company has federal research tax credit carryforwards of $4.2 million and Utah research tax credit carryforwards of $0.7 million, which if not utilized will begin to expire in 2034 and 2029, respectively. These NOL and research tax credit carryforwards could expire unused and be unavailable to reduce future income tax liabilities, which could adversely affect the Company’s profitability. Realization of the Company’s NOL carryforwards and tax credits is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income prior to their expiration. Although a portion of these carryforwards and tax credits are subject to the provisions of Internal Revenue Code Sections 382 and 383, we have not performed a formal study to determine the amount of a limitation, if any. The use of the NOL carryforwards and tax credits may have additional limitations resulting from future ownership changes or other factors under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code.

ASC 740 requires the Company to recognize the financial statement effects of a tax position when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. The following table summarizes the activity related to unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017 (in thousands):

The Company does not anticipate material changes in the total amount of its unrecognized tax benefits within 12 months of the reporting date. The Company accrues interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the provision for income taxes. However, the Company has not accrued interest and penalties, because it has NOL carryforwards. The Company files federal, state and foreign income tax returns in jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations. The tax years from 2014 forward remain subject to examination for the Company and its US subsidiaries. All of the tax filings for the Company’s foreign subsidiaries remain subject to examination by local tax authorities. The earliest of these foreign tax filings was made for the 2013 tax year.
In December 2017, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, Income Tax Accounting Implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (SAB 118), which allows the Company to record provisional amounts during a measurement period not to extend beyond one year of the enactment date. Since the Tax Act was passed late in the fourth quarter of 2017, and ongoing guidance and accounting interpretation are expected over the next 12 months, the Company considers the accounting of the deferred tax remeasurements and state tax conformity to be incomplete but has made a reasonable estimate and has included provisional amounts in the financial statements. Due to the forthcoming guidance and the Company’s ongoing analysis of final year-end data and tax positions, the Company expects to complete its analysis within the measurement period provided for and in accordance with SAB 118.
15. Related-Party Transactions

As of December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2018 (unaudited), the Company had an outstanding loan of $1.0 million to an executive of the Company, which is included in related party other assets. This loan was entered into during 2017.

Until that time, the loan will accrue interest at 2.04% per annum, compounded annually.
16. Employee Benefit Plan
For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017, the Company had a 401(k) Plan (“the Plan”) covering eligible employees of the Company. Eligible employees are U.S. full-time or part-time employees who are at least 18 years of age and who have met a 90-day minimum service requirement. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). Eligible participants may contribute up to 90% of compensation, to a maximum of $18,000 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017. Participants direct the investment of their contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan. Beginning in 2016, the Company began to contribute, at its discretion, 3% of eligible U.S. employee compensation to the Plan. Contributions to the Plan for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017 and the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018 (unaudited), totaled $2.0 million, $2.7 million, $1.2 million, and $1.9 million, respectively.

ITEM 14.    INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a corporation’s board of directors to grant, and authorizes a court to award, indemnity to officers, directors and other corporate agents.
We have adopted an amended and restated certificate of incorporation, which will become effective immediately prior to the completion of this offering, and which will contain provisions that limit the liability of our directors for monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Consequently, our directors will not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duties as directors, except liability for the following:
any breach of their duty of loyalty to our company or our stockholders;
any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law; or
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.
In addition, we have adopted amended and restated bylaws, which will become effective immediately prior to the completion of this offering, and which will provide that we will indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any person who is or was 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 is or was serving at our request as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. Our amended and restated bylaws are expected


II-1


Table of Contents

to provide that we may indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by law any person who is or was 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 employees or agents or is or was serving at our request as an employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. Our amended and restated bylaws will also provide that we must advance expenses incurred by or on behalf of a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of any action or proceeding, subject to limited exceptions.
Further, we have entered into or will enter into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers that may be broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained in the Delaware General Corporation Law. These indemnification agreements require us, among other things, to indemnify our directors and executive 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 and executive 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 executive officers.
The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions that are expected to be included in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, amended and restated bylaws and in indemnification agreements that we have entered into or will enter into with our directors and executive officers may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors and executive officers for breach of their fiduciary duties. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against our directors and executive 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 executive 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 by reason of breach of fiduciary duty or other wrongful acts as a director or executive officer, including claims relating to public securities matters, 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.
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 filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this registration statement will provide for indemnification by the underwriters of us and our officers and directors for certain liabilities arising under the Securities Act or otherwise.
ITEM 15.    RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.
Since January 1, 2015, we have issued the following unregistered securities:
Preferred Stock Issuances
In March 2017, we sold an aggregate of 20,204,436 shares of our Series B-3 redeemable convertible preferred stock to 16 accredited investors at a purchase price of $6.19 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $125,000,000.
In March 2017, we sold an aggregate of 4,849,065 shares of our Series B-5 redeemable convertible preferred stock to 16 accredited investors at a purchase price of $6.19 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $30,000,000.
Option and Restricted Stock Unit Issuances
From January 1, 2015 to October 18, 2018, we have granted to our directors, officers, employees, consultants and other service providers options to purchase an aggregate of 3,787,143 shares of our Class B common stock under our


II-2


Table of Contents

equity compensation plan at exercise prices ranging from approximately $6.32 to $7.69 per share and 74,937,800 RSUs for shares of our Class B common stock under our equity compensation plan.
From January 1, 2015 to October 18, 2018, we have granted to a service provider options to purchase an aggregate of 576,675 shares of our Class B common stock pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act at an exercise price of $3.89 per share.
In May 2018, we granted to the estate of one of our employees 44,100 RSUs for shares of our Class B common stock pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
Common Stock Issuances
In November 2017, we issued to one consultant an aggregate of 4,181 shares of our Class B common stock pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act in consideration for services rendered.
In May 2018, we issued to the estate of one of our employees 35,900 shares of our Class B common stock pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act in consideration for past services rendered.
Shares Issued in Connection with Acquisitions
On May 26, 2016, we acquired Statwing, Inc., or Statwing, by way of a merger pursuant to which the consideration payable by us included up to 874,000 shares of our Class B common stock issuable to certain former service providers and stockholders of Statwing. We refer to this transaction as the Statwing Merger. As of July 26, 2018, we have issued 804,837 shares of our Class B common stock pursuant to the terms of the Statwing Merger. 780,192 of those shares of Class B common stock have been issued to two individuals, which shares are subject to vesting and risk of forfeiture tied to their ongoing services to us.
On March 15, 2018, we acquired Delighted, Inc., or Delighted, by way of a merger pursuant to which the consideration payable by us included 852,477 shares of our Class B common stock. All of the shares of our Class B common stock were issued to former service providers and stockholders of Delighted and are subject to vesting and risk of forfeiture tied to their ongoing employment services to us.
On October 9, 2018, we acquired a customer experience firm, by way of a purchase of all of its outstanding membership interests, pursuant to which the consideration payable by us included 335,000 shares of our Class B common stock. All of the shares of our Class B common stock were issued to former service providers and members of the customer experience firm and are subject to vesting and risk of forfeiture tied to their ongoing employment services to us.
None of the foregoing transactions involved any underwriters, underwriting discounts or commissions, or any public offering. We believe the offers, sales and issuances of the above securities were exempt from registration under the Securities Act (or Regulation D or Regulation S promulgated thereunder) by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act because the issuance of securities to the recipients did not involve a public offering, or in reliance on Rule 701 because the transactions were pursuant to compensatory benefit plans or contracts relating to compensation as provided under such rule. The recipients of the securities in each of these transactions represented their intentions to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof, and appropriate legends were placed upon the stock certificates issued in these transactions. All recipients had adequate access, through their relationships with us, to information about us. The sales of these securities were made without any general solicitation or advertising.

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 of 1933 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 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 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 of 1933, 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 of 1933, 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.Rights, Preferences and Restrictions of Preferred Stock.  The rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to and imposed on the Preferred Stock are as set forth below in this Article IV(B).
1.Dividend Provisions.
(a)    The holders of shares of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends, out of any assets legally available therefor, prior and in preference to any declaration or payment of any dividend (payable other than in Common Stock or other securities and rights convertible into or entitling the holder thereof to receive, directly or indirectly, additional shares of Common Stock of this corporation) on the Common Stock of this corporation, payable when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, at a rate per share of Preferred Stock to be determined by the Board of Directors.  Such dividends shall not be cumulative.  The holders of the outstanding Preferred Stock can waive any dividend preference that such holders shall be entitled to receive under this Article IV(B)(1) upon the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding (voting together as a single class and not as separate series, and on an as-converted basis); provided, however, that such waiver applies to all holders of the outstanding Preferred Stock in the same manner.  Any such waiver that would have a disproportionate effect on any series of Preferred Stock shall also require a waiver upon the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of the affected series of Preferred Stock.
(b)    After payment of such dividends, any additional dividends or distributions shall be distributed among all holders of Common Stock and Preferred Stock in proportion to the number of shares of Common Stock that would be held by each such holder if all shares of Preferred Stock were converted to Common Stock at the then effective conversion rate.
2.Liquidation Preference.
(a)    In the event of any Liquidation Event (as defined below), either voluntary or involuntary, the holders of each series of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of the proceeds of such Liquidation Event (the “Proceeds”) to the holders of Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share for such series of Preferred Stock in the following amounts and subject to the orders and priorities set forth below:
(i)    First, on a pari passu basis the holders of (w) Series B-1 Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive an amount per share equal to the sum of the applicable Original Issue Price (as defined below) for the Series B-1 Preferred Stock, plus any declared but unpaid dividends on such share, (x) Series B-2 Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive an amount per share equal to the sum of the applicable Original Issue Price for the Series B-2 Preferred Stock, plus any declared but unpaid dividends on such share, (y) Series B-3 Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive an amount per share equal to the sum of the applicable Original Issue Price for the Series

    
3


B-3 Preferred Stock, plus any declared but unpaid dividends on such share and (z) Series B-3A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive an amount per share equal to the sum of the applicable Original Issue Price for the Series B-3A Preferred Stock, plus any declared but unpaid dividends on such share. If, upon the occurrence of a Liquidation Event, the Proceeds to be distributed among the holders of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock, Series B-2 Preferred Stock, Series B-3 Preferred Stock and Series B-3A Preferred Stock are insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full aforesaid preferential amounts, then the entire Proceeds legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably, on a pari passu basis, among the holders of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock, Series B-2 Preferred Stock, Series B-3 Preferred Stock and Series B-3A Preferred Stock in proportion to the full preferential amount that each such holder is otherwise entitled to receive under this subsection (a)(i);
(ii)    Second, on a pari passu basis the holders of (x) Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive an amount per share equal to the sum of the applicable Original Issue Price for the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, plus any declared but unpaid dividends on such share, (y) Series A-2 Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive an amount per share equal to the sum of the applicable Original Issue Price for the Series A-2 Preferred Stock, plus any declared but unpaid dividends on such share and (z) Series A-3 Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive an amount per share equal to the sum of the applicable Original Issue Price for the Series A-3 Preferred Stock, plus any declared but unpaid dividends on such share. If, upon the occurrence of a Liquidation Event, the Proceeds to be distributed among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full aforesaid preferential amounts, then the remaining Proceeds legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock in proportion to the full preferential amount that each such holder is otherwise entitled to receive under this subsection (a)(ii);
(iii)    Third, on a pari passu basis the holders of (x) Series B-4 Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive an amount per share equal to the sum of the applicable Original Issue Price for the Series B-4 Preferred Stock, plus any declared but unpaid dividends on such share, (y) Series B-5 Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive an amount per share equal to the sum of the applicable Original Issue Price for the Series B-5 Preferred Stock, plus any declared but unpaid dividends on such share and (z) Series B-5A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive an amount per share equal to the sum of the applicable Original Issue Price for the Series B-5A Preferred Stock, plus any declared but unpaid dividends on such share. If, upon the occurrence of a Liquidation Event, the Proceeds to be distributed among the holders of the Series B-4 Preferred Stock, Series B-5 Preferred Stock and Series B-5A Preferred Stock are insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full aforesaid preferential amounts, then the remaining Proceeds legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably, on a pari passu basis, among the holders of the Series B-4 Preferred Stock, Series B-5 Preferred Stock and Series B-5A Preferred Stock in proportion to the full preferential amount that each such holder is otherwise entitled to receive under this subsection (a)(iii); and
(iv)    Upon the completion of the distributions required by subsections (a)(i) through (a)(iii) of this Article IV(B)(2), all of the remaining Proceeds available

    
4


for distribution to stockholders shall be distributed among the holders of Common Stock pro rata based on the number of shares of Common Stock held by each holder thereof.
(b)    For purposes of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, “Original Issue Price” shall mean $0.0001 per share for each share of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, $0.1923 per share for each share of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock, $1.00 per share for each share of the Series A-3 Preferred Stock, $1.00 per share for each share of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock, $2.22921932 per share for each share of the Series B-2 Preferred Stock, $6.18676 per share for each share of the Series B-3 Preferred Stock and Series B-3A Preferred Stock, $2.67506304 per share for each share of the Series B-4 Preferred Stock and $6.18676 per share for each share of the Series B-5 Preferred Stock and Series B-5A Preferred Stock (each as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, subdivisions, recapitalizations or the like with respect to such series of Preferred Stock).
(c)    Notwithstanding the above, for purposes of determining the amount each holder of shares of Preferred Stock is entitled to receive with respect to a Liquidation Event, each such holder of shares of a series of Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have converted (regardless of whether such holder actually converted) such holder’s shares of such series into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the Liquidation Event if, as a result of an actual conversion, such holder would receive, in the aggregate, an amount greater than the amount that would be distributed to such holder if such holder did not convert such series of Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock. If any such holder shall be deemed to have converted shares of Preferred Stock into Common Stock pursuant to this paragraph, then such holder shall not be entitled to receive any distribution that would otherwise be made to holders of Preferred Stock that have not converted (or have not been deemed to have converted) into shares of Common Stock.
(d)    (i)    For purposes of this Article IV(B)(2), a “Liquidation Event” shall include (A) the closing of the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all the assets of this corporation and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, (B) the consummation of the merger or consolidation of this corporation with or into another entity (except a merger or consolidation in which the holders of capital stock of this corporation immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continue to hold a majority of the voting power of the capital stock of this corporation or of capital stock or securities of the surviving or acquiring entity), (C) the closing of the issuance or transfer (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, including a merger or consolidation in which a subsidiary of this corporation is a constituent party and this corporation issues shares of its capital stock pursuant thereto), in one transaction or a series of related transactions, to a person or group of affiliated persons (other than an underwriter of this corporation’s securities), of this corporation’s securities if, after such closing, such person or group of affiliated persons would hold 50% or more of the outstanding voting stock of this corporation (or of the capital stock or securities of the surviving or acquiring entity), (D) a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of this corporation or (E) the exclusive, irrevocable licensing of all or substantially all the intellectual property of this corporation and its subsidiaries taken as a whole to a third party; provided, however, that a transaction shall not constitute a Liquidation Event if its sole purpose is to change the state of this corporation’s incorporation or to create a holding company that will be owned in substantially the same proportions by the persons who held this corporation’s securities immediately prior to such transaction. The

    
5


treatment of any particular transaction or series of related transactions as a Liquidation Event may be waived by the vote or written consent of the holders of a majority in voting power of the then-outstanding Preferred Stock, including a majority in voting power of the then-outstanding Series B Preferred Stock (in each case, voting together as a single class and not as separate series, and on an as-converted basis).
(ii)    In any Liquidation Event, if Proceeds received by this corporation or its stockholders are other than cash, the value of such Proceeds will be deemed its fair market value. Any securities shall be valued as follows:
(A)    Securities not subject to investment letter or other similar restrictions on free marketability covered by (B) below:
(1)    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 twenty (20) trading‑day period ending three (3) trading days prior to the closing of the Liquidation Event;
(2)    If actively traded over-the-counter, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid or sale prices (whichever is applicable) over the twenty (20) trading‑day period ending three (3) trading days prior to the closing of the Liquidation Event; and
(3)    If there is no active public market, the value shall be the fair market value thereof, as mutually determined by this corporation and the holders of a majority of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock (voting together as a single class and not as separate series, and on an as-converted basis).
(B)    The method of valuation of securities subject to investment letter or other restrictions on free marketability (other than restrictions arising solely by virtue of a stockholder’s status as an affiliate or former affiliate) shall be to make an appropriate discount from the market value determined as above in (A) (1), (2) or (3) to reflect the approximate fair market value thereof, as mutually determined by this corporation and the holders of a majority of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of such Preferred Stock (voting together as a single class and not as separate series, and on an as-converted basis).
(C)    The foregoing methods for valuing non-cash consideration to be distributed in connection with a Liquidation Event shall, with the appropriate approval of the definitive agreements governing such Liquidation Event by the stockholders under the General Corporation Law and Article IV(B)(6), be superseded by the determination of such value set forth in the definitive agreements governing such Liquidation Event.
(iii)    In the event the requirements of this Article IV(B)(2) are not complied with, this corporation shall forthwith either:

    
6


(A)    cause the closing of such Liquidation Event to be postponed until such time as the requirements of this Article IV(B)(2) have been complied with; or
(B)    cancel such transaction, in which event the rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of the Preferred Stock shall revert to and be the same as such rights, preferences and privileges existing immediately prior to the date of the first notice referred to in Article IV(B)(2)(d)(iv) hereof.
(iv)    This corporation shall give each holder of record of Preferred Stock written notice of such impending Liquidation Event not later than twenty (20) days prior to the stockholders’ meeting called or record date of a written consent solicited to approve such transaction, or twenty (20) days prior to the closing of such transaction, whichever is earlier, and shall also notify such holders in writing of the final approval of such transaction. The first of such notices shall describe the material terms and conditions of the impending transaction and the provisions of this Article IV(B)(2), and this corporation shall thereafter give such holders prompt notice of any material changes. The transaction shall in no event take place sooner than twenty (20) days after this corporation has given the first notice provided for herein or sooner than ten (10) days after this corporation has given notice of any material changes provided for herein; provided, however, that subject to compliance with the General Corporation Law such periods may be shortened or waived upon the written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the then-outstanding Preferred Stock, including a majority in voting power of the then-outstanding Series B Preferred Stock (in each case, voting together as a single class and not as separate series, and on an as-converted basis).
(e)    Allocation of Escrow and Contingent Consideration. In the event of a Liquidation Event, if any portion of the Proceeds is placed into escrow, is retained as holdback for the satisfaction of indemnification or similar obligations and/or is payable to the stockholders of the corporation subject to contingencies, notwithstanding the operation of this Article IV(B)(2) the definitive agreement with respect to such transaction shall provide that the portion of such Proceeds that is placed in escrow, retained as holdback and/or is subject to contingencies (the “Additional Consideration”) shall be allocated among the holders of capital stock of the corporation pro rata based on the amount of such consideration otherwise payable to each stockholder pursuant to this Article IV(B)(2) (such that each stockholder has the same percentage of the Proceeds payable to it placed into escrow and/or subject to contingencies, as applicable); provided, however, that, if as a result of any such Additional Consideration, the assets and funds to be distributed at the closing of such Liquidation Event are insufficient to permit the payment to holders of Preferred Stock their full preference amount pursuant to Article IV(B)(2) that would be payable in the absence of the Additional Consideration, this corporation shall ensure that the transaction documentation relating to such Liquidation Event shall provide that the holders of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive the remainder of the applicable preference amount pursuant to Article IV(B)(2) upon the release of such Additional Consideration, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the proceeds from such Additional Consideration to any other persons; provided, further, that to the extent the holders of Preferred Stock participate in a Liquidation Event on an as-converted to Common Stock basis (whether actual or deemed), the foregoing proviso shall not apply.

(f)    Liquidation Redemption.
(i)    In the event of a Liquidation Event in which the Proceeds are not distributed to the stockholders in accordance with Article IV(B)(2), if this corporation does not effect a dissolution of this corporation under the General Corporation Law within 90 days after such Liquidation Event, then (A) this corporation shall deliver a written notice to each holder of Series B Preferred Stock no later than the 90th day after the Liquidation Event advising such holders of their right (and the requirements to be met to secure such right) pursuant to the terms of the following clause (B) to require the redemption of all shares of Preferred Stock, and (B) if the holders of a majority in voting power of the then-outstanding Series B Preferred Stock so request in a written instrument delivered to the corporation not later than 120 days after such Liquidation Event, this corporation shall use the consideration received by it for such Liquidation Event (net of any retained liabilities associated with the assets sold or exclusively licensed, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) (the “Net Proceeds”) to redeem, to the extent permitted by Delaware law governing distributions (including by redemption or repurchase) to stockholders, on the 150th day after such Liquidation Event (the “Liquidation Redemption Date”), all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock at a price per share equal to the sum of the applicable Original Issue Price for the Preferred Stock, plus any declared but unpaid dividends thereon, or, if greater, the amount payable on the Preferred Stock pursuant to Article IV(B)(2)(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a redemption pursuant to the preceding sentence, if the Net Proceeds are not sufficient to redeem all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, or if Delaware law governing distributions (including by redemption or repurchase) to stockholders would prohibit the full redemption, the corporation shall redeem a pro rata portion of each holder’s shares of Preferred Stock to the fullest extent of such Net Proceeds or such lawfully available funds, as the case may be, based on the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares to be redeemed if the lawfully available funds were sufficient to redeem all such shares and shall redeem the remaining shares to have been redeemed as soon as practicable after the corporation may lawfully do so under Delaware law governing distributions (including by redemption or repurchase) to stockholders. Prior to the distribution by redemption provided for in this Article IV(B)(2)(f), this corporation shall not expend or dissipate the consideration received for such Liquidation Event, except to discharge expenses incurred in connection with such Liquidation Event or in the ordinary course of business.
(ii)    Written notice of the mandatory redemption described in Article IV(B)(2)(f)(i) (the “Liquidation Redemption Notice”) shall be mailed, postage prepaid, to each holder of record of Preferred Stock, at its post office address last shown on the records of this corporation, or given by electronic communication in compliance with the provisions of the General Corporation Law, not less than 40 days prior to the Liquidation Redemption Date. Each Liquidation Redemption Notice shall state:
(A)    the number of shares of Preferred Stock held by the holder that the corporation shall redeem on the Liquidation Redemption Date specified in the Liquidation Redemption Notice;
(B)    the Liquidation Redemption Date and the amount payable on the Preferred Stock pursuant to Article IV(B)(2)(f)(i); and

    
8


(C)    that the holder is to surrender to the corporation, in the manner and at the place designated, his, her or its certificate or certificates representing the shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed.
(iii)    On or before the applicable Liquidation Redemption Date, each holder of shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed on such Liquidation Redemption Date, unless such holder has exercised his, her or its right to convert such shares as provided in Article IV(B)(4), shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing such shares to this corporation, in the manner and at the place designated in the Liquidation Redemption Notice, and thereupon the amount payable on the Preferred Stock pursuant to Article IV(B)(2)(f)(i) for such shares shall be payable to the order of the person whose name appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner thereof, and each surrendered certificate shall be canceled and retired. In the event less than all the shares of Preferred Stock represented by a certificate are redeemed, a new certificate representing the unredeemed shares of Preferred Stock shall promptly be issued to such holder.
(iv)    If the Liquidation Redemption Notice shall have been duly given, and if on the Liquidation Redemption Date the aggregate amount payable on the Preferred Stock pursuant to Article IV(B)(2)(f)(i) upon redemption of the shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed on such Liquidation Redemption Date is paid or tendered for payment or deposited with an independent payment agent so as to be available therefor, then notwithstanding that the certificates evidencing any of the shares of Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall not have been surrendered, dividends with respect to such shares of Preferred Stock shall cease to accrue after such Liquidation Redemption Date and all rights with respect to such shares shall forthwith after the Liquidation Redemption Date terminate, except only the right of the holders to receive the amount payable on the Preferred Stock pursuant to Article IV(B)(2)(f)(i), without interest upon surrender of their certificate or certificates therefor.
(v)    This corporation may not exercise any voting or other rights granted to the holders of Preferred Stock following redemption under this Article IV(B)(2)(f)(i).
3.Redemption.  The Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable by the corporation, except as set forth in Article IV(B)(2)(f), this Article IV(B)(3) or as otherwise agreed to by the corporation and the holders of at least a majority of the then-outstanding Preferred Stock, including a majority in voting power of the then-outstanding Series B Preferred Stock (in each case, voting together as a single class and not as separate series, and on an as-converted basis).
(a)    Repurchase Request At The Option of Holders of Series B Preferred Stock.  At any time on or after April 11, 2019 (the “Exit Date”), but prior to the occurrence of a Qualified Public Offering (as defined below) or a Liquidation Event, the holders of a majority in voting power of the then-outstanding Series B Preferred Stock may request that the corporation repurchase all (but not less than all) of the then-outstanding Series B Preferred Stock held by such holders (the “Exit Right”). Upon receipt of such request, the corporation shall give prompt written notice of such request for repurchase to each holder of Series B Preferred Stock, which notice shall in any event be given no later than 10 days after the request for such repurchase, and each such holder of Series B Preferred Stock shall be obligated to sell to the corporation all Series B Preferred Stock held by such holder in accordance with the provisions of this Article IV(B)(3).

    
9


(b)    Repurchase Payments.  For the Series B Preferred Stock which is to be repurchased hereunder, the corporation shall be obligated to pay to the holder thereof an aggregate amount per share of Series B Preferred Stock in immediately available funds equal to the Original Issue Price of such share Series B Preferred Stock plus any declared but unpaid dividends on such share. The terms of payment of the repurchase price to be paid hereunder shall be negotiated in good faith upon receipt of notice of the request to exercise the Exit Right; provided that the repurchase price shall be paid by the corporation no later than the second anniversary of the date on which the Exit Right is exercised. If Delaware law governing distributions (including by redemption or repurchase) to stockholders prohibits the full repurchase by this corporation of all Series B Preferred Stock on the scheduled date of repurchase, this corporation shall repurchase, on a pro rata basis (based on the amount owed to each such holder), the maximum number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock that it may do so consistent with such law. At any time thereafter when Delaware law governing distributions (including by redemption or repurchase) to stockholders would not prohibit the use of additional funds of the corporation for the repurchase of such remaining Series B Preferred Stock, this corporation shall immediately pay to the holders of Series B Preferred Stock (pro rata based on the amount owed to each such holder) such additional funds. Series B Preferred Stock subject to the Exit Right will remain outstanding (and the holders thereof shall remain holders and the Series B Preferred Stock will remain entitled to all rights hereunder) until the repurchase price therefor is paid in full or a sum sufficient to pay the purchase prices is irrevocably set aside for that purpose. In the event this corporation elects to engage in a Liquidation Event or a Qualified Public Offering after the Exit Date, each holder of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive upon the consummation of such transaction, the greater of (x) the repurchase price owing under this Article IV(B)(3) with respect to each share of Series B Preferred Stock which remains outstanding at such time, and (y) the consideration payable upon each share of Series B Preferred Stock in connection with such transaction.
(c)    Impact on Distributions.  Without the consent of the holders of a majority in voting power of the then-outstanding Series B Preferred Stock, after the exercise of the Exit Right, the corporation shall not pay or declare any dividends or make any distributions to any holders of any shares of capital stock of the corporation unless and until all amounts required to be paid to holders of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to this Article IV(B)(3) have been paid in full.
4.Conversion.  The holders of the Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows (the “Conversion Rights”):
(a)    Right to Convert.  Each share of (i) Series A-1 Preferred Stock and Series A-2 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 this corporation or any transfer agent for such stock, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Class A-2 Common Stock, (ii) Series A-3 Preferred Stock and Series B 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 this corporation or any transfer agent for such stock, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Class A-1 Common Stock, in each case, as is determined by dividing the applicable Original Issue Price for such series by the applicable Conversion Price for such series (the conversion rate for a series of Preferred Stock into Common Stock is referred to herein as the “Conversion Rate” for

    
10


such series), determined as hereafter provided, in effect on the date the certificate is surrendered for conversion. The initial Conversion Price per share for each series of Preferred Stock shall be the Original Issue Price applicable to such series; provided, however, that the Conversion Price for the Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment as set forth in Article IV(B)(4)(d). In addition, each one share of Series B-3 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 this corporation or any transfer agent for such stock, into one fully paid and nonassessable share of Series B-3A Preferred Stock and each one share of Series B-5 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 this corporation or any transfer agent for such stock, into one fully paid and nonassessable share of Series B-5A Preferred Stock.
(b)    Automatic Conversion.  Each share of (i) Series A-1 Preferred Stock and Series A-2 Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Class A-2 Common Stock at the Conversion Rate at the time in effect for such series of Preferred Stock and (ii) Series A-3 Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Class A-1 Common Stock, in each case, at the Conversion Rate at the time in effect for such series of Preferred Stock, in each case, immediately upon the earlier of (x) the closing of this corporation’s sale of its Common Stock in a firm commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 under the Securities Act resulting in at least $50,000,000 of proceeds, net of the underwriting discount and commissions, to this corporation (a “Qualified Public Offering”) or (y) the date, or the occurrence of an event, specified by vote or written consent or agreement of (i) the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock (voting together as a single class and not as separate series, and on an as-converted basis) and (ii) the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock (voting together as a single class and not as separate series, and on an as-converted basis).
(c)    Mechanics of Conversion.  Before any holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to voluntarily convert the same into shares of Common Stock, he or she shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of this corporation or of any transfer agent for the Preferred Stock, and shall give written notice to this corporation at its principal corporate office, of the election to convert the same and shall state therein the name or names in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock are to be issued. This corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Preferred Stock, or to the nominee or nominees of such holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid. 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, 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 as of such date. If the conversion is in connection with an underwritten offering of securities registered pursuant to the Securities Act, the conversion may, at the option of any holder tendering Preferred Stock for conversion, be conditioned upon the closing with the underwriters of the sale of securities pursuant to such offering, in which event the persons entitled to receive the Common Stock upon conversion of the Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have converted such Preferred Stock until immediately prior to the closing

of such sale of securities. If the conversion is in connection with automatic conversion provisions of Article IV(B)(4)(b)(y) above, such conversion shall be deemed to have been made on the conversion date described in the stockholder consent approving such conversion, and the persons entitled to receive shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holders of such shares of Common Stock as of such date. If, prior to the consummation of a public offering of the Common Stock, the holder of shares Series B-3 Preferred Stock or Series B-5 Preferred Stock elects or is required to convert any such shares into Common Stock, and if such conversion would require that holder to make any filings under the Hart–Scott–Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, then the conversion will not become effective until all applicable waiting periods have expired with respect to such filings.
(d)    Conversion Price Adjustments of Series B Preferred Stock for Certain Dilutive Issuances, Splits and Combinations.  The Conversion Price of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(i)    (A)  If this corporation shall issue, on or after the date upon which this Restated Certificate of Incorporation is accepted for filing by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Filing Date”), any Additional Stock (as defined below) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price applicable to a series of Series B Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Stock, the Conversion Price for such series in effect immediately prior to each such issuance shall forthwith (except as otherwise provided in this clause (i)) be adjusted to a price (calculated to the nearest one-thousandth of a cent) determined by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock Outstanding (as defined below) immediately prior to such issuance plus the number of shares of Common Stock that the aggregate consideration received by this corporation for such issuance would purchase at such Conversion Price; and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock Outstanding (as defined below) immediately prior to such issuance plus the number of shares of such Additional Stock. For purposes of this Article IV(B)(4)(d), the term “Common Stock Outstanding” shall mean and include the following: (1) outstanding Common Stock, (2) Common Stock issuable upon conversion of outstanding Preferred Stock, (3) Common Stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options and (4) Common Stock issuable upon exercise (and, in the case of warrants to purchase Preferred Stock, conversion) of outstanding warrants. Shares described in (1) through (4) above shall be included whether vested or unvested, whether contingent or non-contingent and whether exercisable or not yet exercisable.
(B)    No adjustment of the Conversion Price for the Series B Preferred Stock shall be made in an amount less than one-tenth of one cent per share, provided that any adjustment not required to be made because of this sentence shall be included in any subsequent adjustment to the Conversion Price (or, if earlier, applied upon an actual conversion of applicable shares). Except to the limited extent provided for in subsections (E)(3) and (E)(4) below, no adjustment of such Conversion Price pursuant to this Article IV(B)(4)(d)(i) shall have the effect of increasing the Conversion Price above the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.

    
12


(C)    In the case of the issuance of Additional Stock for cash, the consideration shall be deemed to be the amount of cash paid therefor before deducting any reasonable discounts, commissions or other expenses allowed, paid or incurred by this corporation for any underwriting or otherwise in connection with the issuance and sale thereof.
(D)    In the case of the issuance of the Additional Stock for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair market value thereof as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors irrespective of any accounting treatment.
(E)    In the case of the issuance of options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock, securities by their terms convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities, the following provisions shall apply for purposes of determining the number of shares of Additional Stock issued and the consideration paid therefor:
(1)    The aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise (assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability, including without limitation, the passage of time, but without taking into account potential antidilution adjustments) 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 Article IV(B)(4)(d)(i)(C) and (d)(i)(D) above), if any, received by this corporation upon the issuance of such options or rights plus the minimum exercise price provided in such options or rights (without taking into account potential antidilution adjustments) for the Common Stock covered thereby.
(2)    The aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of, or in exchange (assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to convertibility or exchangeability, including, without limitation, the passage of time, but without taking into account potential antidilution adjustments) 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, if any, received by this corporation for any such securities and related options or rights (excluding any cash received on account of accrued interest or accrued dividends), plus the minimum additional consideration, if any, to be received by this corporation (without taking into account potential antidilution adjustments) 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 Article IV(B)(4)(d)(i)(C) and (d)(i)(D) above).
(3)    In the event of any change in the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable or in the consideration payable to this corporation upon exercise of such options or rights or upon conversion of or in exchange for such convertible or exchangeable securities, the Conversion Price of the Series B Preferred Stock, to the extent in any way affected by or computed using such options, rights or securities, shall be recomputed to reflect such change, but no further adjustment shall be made for the actual issuance of Common Stock or any payment

    
13


of such consideration upon the exercise of any such options or rights or the conversion or exchange of such securities.
(4)    Upon 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 the Series B Preferred Stock, to the extent in any way affected by or computed using such options, rights or securities or options or rights related to such securities, shall be recomputed to reflect the issuance of only the number of shares of Common Stock (and convertible or exchangeable securities that remain in effect) actually issued upon the exercise of such options or rights, upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or upon the exercise of the options or rights related to such securities.
(5)    The number of shares of Additional Stock deemed issued and the consideration deemed paid therefor pursuant to Article IV(B)(4)(d)(i)(E)(1) and (d)(i)(E)(2) shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any change, termination or expiration of the type described in either Article IV(B)(4)(d)(i)(E)(3) or (d)(i)(E)(4).
(ii)    Additional Stock” shall mean any shares of Common Stock issued (or deemed to have been issued pursuant to Article IV(B)(4)(d)(i)(E)) by this corporation on or after the Filing Date other than (1) the following shares of Common Stock and (2) shares of Common Stock deemed issued pursuant to the following options and convertible securities (clauses (1) and (2), collectively, “Exempted Securities”):
(A)    Common Stock issued pursuant to a transaction described in Article IV(B)(4)(d)(iii) hereof;
(B)    Common Stock issued to employees, directors, consultants and other service providers for the primary purpose of soliciting or retaining their services pursuant to plans or agreements approved by this corporation’s Board of Directors, including both (x) a majority of the Series B Preferred Directors and (y) a majority of the Series A Preferred Directors (each as defined below);
(C)    Common Stock issued pursuant to an underwritten public offering in which the Preferred Stock is converted to Common Stock (or otherwise deemed cancelled and retired) pursuant to Article IV(B)(4)(b);
(D)    Common Stock, Series B-3A Preferred Stock or Series B-5A Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities (including, without limitation, any Preferred Stock) outstanding on the Filing Date or that are issued by this corporation within five (5) days following the Filing Date pursuant to agreements which are fully-executed and binding as of the Filing Date;
(E)    Common Stock issued in connection with a bona fide business acquisition by this corporation, whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets, sale or exchange of stock or otherwise which acquisition is approved by the Board of Directors,

    
14


including both (x) a majority of the Series B Preferred Directors and (y) a majority of the Series A Preferred Directors;
(F)    Common Stock issued or deemed issued pursuant to Article IV(B)(4)(d)(i)(E) as a result of a decrease in the Conversion Price of any series of Series B Preferred Stock resulting from the operation of Article IV(B)(4)(d);
(G)    Common Stock in connection with the following transactions, so long as such Common Stock, does not, in the aggregate, represent greater than five percent (5%) of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock on such date:
(a)    any equipment leasing arrangement or debt financing arrangement, which arrangement is approved by the Board of Directors, including both (x) a majority of the Series B Preferred Directors and (y) a majority of the Series A Preferred Directors, and is primarily for non-equity financing purposes;
(b)    sponsored research, collaboration, technology license, development, original equipment manufacturer (OEM), marketing or other similar arrangements or strategic partnerships, provided that such issuances are approved by the Board of Directors, including both (x) a majority of the Series B Preferred Directors and (y) a majority of the Series A Preferred Directors, and are primarily for non-equity financing purposes; or
(H)    Common Stock that is issued with the unanimous approval of the Board of Directors of this corporation and the Board of Directors specifically states that it shall not be “Additional Stock”.
(iii)    In the event this corporation should at any time or from time to time after the Filing Date fix a record date for the effectuation of a split or subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend 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 (hereinafter referred to as “Common Stock Equivalents”) without payment of any consideration by such holder for the additional shares of Common Stock or the Common Stock Equivalents (including the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof), then, as of such record date (or the date of such dividend distribution, split or subdivision if no record date is fixed), the Conversion Price of the Preferred Stock shall be appropriately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be increased in proportion to such increase of the aggregate of shares of Common Stock outstanding and those issuable with respect to such Common Stock Equivalents.
(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, following the record date of such combination, the Conversion Price for the Preferred Stock shall be appropriately increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on

    
15


conversion of each share of such series shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares.
(e)    Other Distributions.  In the event this corporation shall declare a distribution payable in securities of other persons, evidences of indebtedness issued by this corporation or other persons, assets (excluding cash dividends) or options or rights not referred to in Article IV(B)(4)(d)(iii), then, in each such case for the purpose of this Article IV(B)(4)(e), the holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a proportionate share of any such distribution as though they were the holders of the number of shares of Common Stock of this corporation into which their shares of Preferred Stock are convertible as of the record date fixed for the determination of the holders of Common Stock of this corporation entitled to receive such distribution.
(f)    Recapitalizations.  If at any time or from time to time there shall be a recapitalization of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision, combination or merger or sale of assets transaction provided for elsewhere in this Article IV(B)(4) or in Article IV(B)(2)) provision shall be made so that the holders of the Preferred Stock shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Preferred Stock the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of this corporation or otherwise, to which a holder of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled on such recapitalization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Article IV(B)(4) with respect to the rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock after the recapitalization to the end that the provisions of this Article IV(B)(4) (including adjustment of the Conversion Price then in effect and the number of shares purchasable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock) shall be applicable after that event as nearly equivalently as may be practicable.
(g)    No Fractional Shares and Certificate as to Adjustments.
(i)    No fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of any share or shares of the Preferred Stock and the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to particular stockholders, shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share and the corporation shall pay in cash the fair market value of any fractional shares as of the time when entitlement to receive such fractions is determined. Whether or not fractional shares would be issuable upon such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of Preferred Stock the holder is at the time converting into Common Stock and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion.
(ii)    Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price of Preferred Stock pursuant to this Article IV(B)(4), this 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 certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. This corporation shall, upon the 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 (A) such adjustment and readjustment, (B) the Conversion Price for such series of Preferred Stock at the time in effect, and (C) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property that at the time would be received upon the conversion of a share of Preferred Stock.

    
16


(h)    Notices of Record Date.  In the event of any taking by this 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, this corporation shall mail to each holder of Preferred Stock, at least ten (10) days prior to the date specified therein, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution, and the amount and character of such dividend or distribution.
(i)    Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion.  This 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 the 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 the 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 the Preferred Stock, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the holder of such Preferred Stock, this 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 purposes, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to this Restated Certificate of Incorporation.
(j)    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 a majority of the outstanding shares of such series of Preferred Stock. Any such waiver shall bind all future holders of shares of such series of Preferred Stock.
5.Voting Rights.
(a)    General Voting Rights.  Except as provided in clause (b) below with respect to the voting for the election of directors by the holders of the Series B-3 Preferred Stock and the Series B-5 Preferred Stock, the holder of each share of Preferred Stock shall have the right to cast the number of votes to which the number of whole shares of Common Stock into which such share of Preferred Stock is convertible is entitled to vote, and with respect to such vote, such holder shall have full voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the holders of Common Stock, and shall be entitled, notwithstanding any provision hereof, to notice of any stockholders’ meeting in accordance with the Bylaws of this corporation, and except as provided by law, shall be entitled to vote, together with holders of Common Stock, with respect to any question upon which holders of Common Stock have the right to vote.

2.Voting.
(a)    Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or required by applicable law of the State of Delaware, the holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock shall vote together as one class on all matters (including the election of directors) submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise required by applicable law of the State of Delaware, holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, as such, shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Restated Certificate of Incorporation that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to the terms of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the applicable certificate of designation of such Preferred Stock or pursuant to applicable law of the State of Delaware. Subject to the terms of any Preferred Stock, the number of authorized shares of Common Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the stock of the corporation entitled to vote, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the General Corporation Law. Holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock shall not be entitled to cumulate their votes for the election of directors or any other matter submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the corporation.
(b)    Each holder of Class A-1 Common Stock shall be entitled to ten (10) votes for each share of Class A-1 Common Stock held as of the applicable record date on any matter that is submitted to a vote or for the consent of the stockholders of the corporation.

    
22


(c)    Each holder of Class A-2 Common Stock shall be entitled to ten (10) votes for each share of Class A-2 Common Stock held as of the applicable record date on any matter that is submitted to a vote or for the consent of the stockholders of the corporation; provided, however, that for so long as the sum of (i) the total aggregate number of all then-issued and outstanding shares of Class A-2 Common Stock, if any, and (ii) the total aggregate number of shares of Class A-2 Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all then-issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, if any, represents at least ten percent (10%) of the total aggregate number of the corporation’s then issued and outstanding shares of capital stock (calculated for all shares of capital stock on an as-converted to Common Stock basis), then in such case, in the further event that as of any applicable record date on any matter that is submitted to a vote or for the consent of the stockholders of the corporation, the sum of (x) the total aggregate number of votes represented by all of the then-issued and outstanding shares of Class A-2 Common Stock, if any, and (y) the total aggregate number of votes represented by all of the then-issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, if any (calculated on an as-converted to Class A-2 Common Stock basis), would otherwise constitute less than fifty-one percent (51%) of the total aggregate number of votes represented by all of the corporation’s then-issued and outstanding shares of capital stock, then, in such case, each share of Class A-2 Common Stock (whether then-issued and outstanding or issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock) shall be entitled to such number of votes for each share of Class A-2 Common Stock as would result in the aggregate number of votes represented by all such issued and issuable shares of Class A-2 Common Stock representing exactly fifty-one percent (51%) of the total aggregate number of votes of all of the corporation’s then issued and outstanding shares of capital stock.
(d)    Each holder of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to one (1) vote for each share of Class B Common Stock held as of the applicable record date on any matter that is submitted to a vote or for the consent of the stockholders of the corporation.
3.Dividends.  Subject to the rights and preferences applicable to any series of Preferred Stock, if outstanding at such time, the holders of Class A Common Stock and the holders of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to share equally, on a per share basis, in such dividends and other distributions of cash, property or shares of stock of the corporation as may be declared by the Board of Directors from time to time out of assets or funds of the corporation legally available therefor; provided, however, that in the event that such dividend is paid in the form of shares of capital stock of the corporation or rights to acquire capital stock of the corporation, the holders of Class A-1 Common Stock will receive Class A-1 Common Stock or rights to acquire Class A-1 Common Stock, as the case may be, the holders of Class A-2 Common Stock will receive Class A-2 Common Stock or rights to acquire Class A-2 Common Stock, as the case may be, and the holders of Class B Common Stock will receive Class B Common Stock or rights to acquire Class B Common Stock, as the case may be.
4.Liquidation.  Upon the occurrence of any Liquidation Event, the assets of this corporation shall be distributed as provided in Article IV(B)(2) hereof.

23


per share basis, in any Liquidation Event, all assets of the corporation of whatever kind available for distribution to the holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock.
5.Subdivisions or Combinations.  If the corporation in any manner subdivides or combines the outstanding shares of Class A-1 Common Stock, Class A-2 Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, the outstanding shares of the other classes and series of the corporation’s capital stock will be subdivided or combined in the same proportion and manner.
6.Identical Rights.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or required by applicable law, shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock shall have the same rights and privileges and rank equally, share ratably and be identical in all respects as to all matters.
7.Conversion of Class A Common Stock.
(a)    Voluntary Conversion.  Subject to and in compliance with the provisions of this Article IV(C)(7), each share of Class A Common Stock may, at the option of the holder thereof, be converted at any time and from time to time, and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into one (1) fully-paid and nonassessable share of Class B Common Stock.
(b)    Automatic Conversion.  Each share of Class A Common Stock shall be automatically converted without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into one (1) fully-paid and nonassessable share of Class B Common Stock upon any Transfer of such share, other than pursuant to a Permitted Transfer.
(c)    For purposes of this Article IV(C)(7):
(i)    Affiliate” shall mean, with respect to any specified person, any other person who or which, directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with such specified person, including, without limitation, any general partner, officer, director or manager of such person and any venture capital fund now or hereafter existing that is controlled by one or more general partners or managing members of, or is under common investment management with, such person.
(ii)    Family Member” shall mean, with respect to any natural person, the spouse, former spouse, parents, lineal descendants, stepchildren, siblings and lineal descendants and stepchildren of siblings of such person.
(iii)    Permitted Entity” shall mean, (1) with respect to any holder of shares of Class A Common Stock that is a natural person, (A) a Permitted Trust or (B) any general partnership, limited partnership, limited liability company, corporation or other entity exclusively owned by such holder, by one or more Family Members of such holder and/or any other Permitted Entity of such holder, or (2) with respect to any holder of shares of Class A Common Stock that is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company, (A) an Affiliate of such holder or (B) any subsidiary, parent, partner, retired partner, member, retired member of such holder.

    
24


(iv)    Permitted Transfer” shall mean the Transfer of a share of Class A Common Stock to a Family Member or Permitted Entity of the transferor.
(v)    Permitted Trust” shall mean, with respect to any holder of shares of Class A Common Stock, a trust for the benefit of such holder, one or more Family Members of such holder, or any other Permitted Entity of such holder.
(vi)    Transfer” of a share of Class A Common Stock shall mean any sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, hypothecation or other transfer or disposition of such share or any legal or beneficial interest in such share, whether or not for value and whether voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law. A “Transfer” shall also include, without limitation, (i) a transfer of a share of Class A Common Stock to a broker or other nominee (regardless of whether or not there is a corresponding change in beneficial ownership) or (ii) the transfer of, or entering into a binding agreement with respect to, Voting Control over a share of Class A Common Stock by proxy or otherwise; provided, however, that the following shall not be considered a “Transfer”: (a) the grant of a proxy to officers or directors of the corporation at the request of the Board of Directors in connection with actions to be taken at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, or by written consent in lieu of holding an annual or special meeting of stockholders; or (b) the pledge of shares of Class A Common Stock that creates a mere security interest in such shares pursuant to a bona fide loan or indebtedness transaction so long as the holder of Class A Common Stock continues to exercise Voting Control over such pledged shares; provided, however, that a foreclosure on such shares of Class A Common Stock or other similar action by the pledgee shall constitute a “Transfer” unless such foreclosure qualifies as a Permitted Transfer.
(vii)    Voting Control” shall mean, with respect to a share of Class A Common Stock, the power to vote or direct the voting of such share by proxy, voting agreement or otherwise.
(d)    Mechanics of Conversion.
(i)    Notice.  Each holder of Class A Common Stock whose shares have been converted into shares of Class B Common Stock pursuant to this Article IV(C)(7) shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor duly endorsed (or, if such registered holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the corporation to indemnify the corporation against any claim that may be made against the corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate), at the office of the corporation or any transfer agent for such stock, and shall give written notice of such conversion to the corporation at such office. Such notice shall state such holder’s name or the names of the nominees in which such holder wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Class B Common Stock to be issued and the number of shares of Class A Common Stock converted. Thereupon, the corporation shall promptly issue and deliver at such office to such holder a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Class B Common Stock to which such holder is entitled. If the conversion is in connection with the voluntary conversion provisions of Article IV(C)(7)(a), such conversion shall be deemed to have been made at the close of business on the date of such surrender of the certificate representing the shares of Class A Common Stock to be converted, and the person entitled to receive the shares of Class B Common Stock issuable upon such conversion

    
25


shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such shares of Class B Common Stock on such date. If the conversion is in connection with the automatic conversion provisions of Article IV(C)(7)(b), such conversion shall be deemed to have been made at the time the applicable Transfer is effected, and the person entitled to receive the shares of Class B Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such shares of Class B Common Stock on such date.
(ii)    Reservation of Class B Common Stock Issuable Upon Conversion.  The corporation shall at all times keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Class B Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of Class A Common Stock, such number of its shares of Class B Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Class A Common Stock into Class B Common Stock. If at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Class B Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversions referred to in the immediately preceding sentence, 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 Class B Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.
(iii)    Effect of Conversion.  All shares of Class A Common Stock which shall have been converted as herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares shall immediately cease and terminate at the time of conversion, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive shares of Class B Common Stock in exchange therefor and to receive payment of any dividends declared but unpaid thereon. Any shares of Class A Common Stock so converted shall be retired and cancelled and may not be reissued as shares of such series, and the corporation may thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for stockholder action) as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Class A Common Stock accordingly.
(iv)    Taxes.  The corporation shall pay any and all issue and other similar taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery of shares of Class B Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to this Article IV(C)(7). The corporation shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of shares of Class B Common Stock in a name other than that in which the shares of Class A Common Stock so converted were registered, and no such issuance or delivery shall be made unless and until the person or entity requesting such issuance has paid to the corporation the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the corporation, that such tax has been paid.
8.Redemption.  The Common Stock is not redeemable at the option of the holder.

BYLAWS OF QUALTRICS INTERNATIONAL INC.
ARTICLE I
CORPORATE OFFICES
1.1Registered Office. The registered office of Qualtrics International Inc. (the “corporation”) shall be fixed in its certificate of incorporation, as the same may be amended from time to time.
1.2Other Offices. The corporation’s board of directors may at any time establish other offices at any place or places where the corporation is qualified to do business.
ARTICLE II
MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS
2.1Place of Meetings. Meetings of stockholders shall be held at any place, within or outside the State of Delaware, designated by the board of directors. The board of directors may, in its sole discretion, determine that a meeting of stockholders shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication as authorized by Section 211(a)(2) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”). In the absence of any such designation or determination, stockholders’ meetings shall be held at the corporation’s principal executive office.
2.2Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of stockholders shall be held on such date, at such time, and at such place (if any) within or without the State of Delaware as shall be designated from time to time by the board of directors and stated in the corporation’s notice of the meeting. At the annual meeting, directors shall be elected and any other proper business, brought in accordance with Section 2.4 of these bylaws, may be transacted. The board of directors may cancel, postpone or reschedule any previously scheduled annual meeting at any time, before or after the notice for such meeting has been sent to the stockholders.
2.3Special Meeting.
(i)A special meeting of the stockholders, other than those required by statute, may be called at any time by (A) the board of directors, (B) the chairperson of the board of directors, (C) the chief executive officer or (D) the president (in the absence of a chief executive officer), but a special meeting may not be called by any other person or persons. The board of directors may cancel, postpone or reschedule any previously scheduled special meeting at any time, before or after the notice for such meeting has been sent to the stockholders.
(ii)The notice of a special meeting shall include the purpose for which the meeting is called. Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the board of directors, chairperson of the board of directors, chief executive officer or president (in the absence of a chief executive officer) and as shall be stated in the notice of special meeting. Nothing contained in this Section 2.3(ii) shall be construed as limiting, fixing or affecting the time when a meeting of stockholders called by action of the board of directors may be held.



2.4Advance Notice Procedures.
(i)Advance Notice of Stockholder Business. At an annual meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. To be properly brought before an annual meeting, business must be brought: (A) pursuant to the corporation’s proxy materials (including notice of meeting) with respect to such meeting, (B) by or at the direction of the board of directors, or (C) by a stockholder of the corporation who (1) is a stockholder of record at the time of the giving of the notice required by this Section 2.4(i) and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the annual meeting and (2) has timely complied in proper written form with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.4(i). In addition, for business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, such business must be a proper matter for stockholder action pursuant to these bylaws and applicable law. For the avoidance of doubt, except for proposals properly made in accordance with Rule 14a-8 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any successor thereto (the “1934 Act”), and the regulations thereunder (or any successor rule and in any case as so amended), clause (C) above shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to bring business before an annual meeting of stockholders.
(a)To comply with clause (C) of Section 2.4(i) above, a stockholder’s notice must set forth all information required under this Section 2.4(i) and must be timely received by the secretary of the corporation. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be received by the secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation not later than the close of business on the ninetieth (90th) day nor earlier than the close of business on the one hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to the one-year anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that no annual meeting was held in the previous year or if the date of the annual meeting is advanced by more than 30 days prior to or delayed by more than 60 days after the one-year anniversary of the date of the previous year’s annual meeting, then, for notice by the stockholder to be timely, it must be so received by the secretary not earlier than the close of business on the one hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of (i) the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such annual meeting, or (ii) the tenth day following the day on which Public Announcement (as defined below) of the date of such annual meeting is first made. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided herein, for the first annual meeting following the initial public offering of common stock of the corporation, a stockholder’s notice shall be timely if received by the secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation not later than the close of business on the ninetieth (90th) day prior to the scheduled date of such annual meeting or the tenth (10th) day following the day on which Public Announcement of the date of such annual meeting is first made or sent by the corporation. In no event shall any adjournment, rescheduling or postponement of an annual meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described in this Section 2.4(i)(a). “Public Announcement” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or a comparable national news service, in a document publicly filed by the corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act.
(b)To be in proper written form, a stockholder’s notice to the secretary must set forth as to each matter of business the stockholder intends to bring before the annual meeting: (1) a brief description of the business intended to be brought before the annual meeting, the text of the proposal or business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration and in the event that such business includes a proposal to amend the bylaws, the language of the proposed amendment) and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting, (2) the name and address, as they appear on the corporation’s books, of the stockholder proposing such business and any Stockholder Associated Person (as defined below), (3) the class and number of shares of the corporation that are held of record or are beneficially owned by the stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person and any derivative positions held or beneficially held

by the stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person, (4) whether and the extent to which any hedging or other transaction or series of transactions has been entered into by or on behalf of such stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person with respect to any securities of the corporation, and a description of any other agreement, arrangement or understanding (including any short position or any borrowing or lending of shares), the effect or intent of which is to mitigate loss to, or to manage the risk or benefit from share price changes for, or to increase or decrease the voting power of, such stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person with respect to any securities of the corporation, (5) any material interest of the stockholder or a Stockholder Associated Person in such business, (6) a statement whether either such stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person will deliver a proxy statement and/or form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the voting power of the corporation’s voting shares required under applicable law to carry the proposal and/or otherwise to solicit proxies or votes from stockholders in support of such proposal and (7) any other information relating to such stockholder or Stockholder Associated Person, if any, required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for, the proposal pursuant to and in accordance with Section 14(a) of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (such information provided and statements made as required by clauses (1) through (7), a “Business Solicitation Statement”). In addition, to be in proper written form, a stockholder’s notice to the secretary must be supplemented not later than ten days following the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting to disclose the information contained in clauses (3) and (4) above as of the record date. For purposes of this Section 2.4, a “Stockholder Associated Person” of any stockholder shall mean (i) any person controlling, directly or indirectly, or acting in concert with, such stockholder, (ii) any beneficial owner of shares of stock of the corporation owned of record or beneficially by such stockholder and on whose behalf the proposal or nomination, as the case may be, is being made, or (iii) any person controlling, controlled by or under common control with such person referred to in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii).
(c)Without exception, no business shall be conducted at any annual meeting except in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Section 2.4(i) and, if applicable, Section 2.4(ii). In addition, business proposed to be brought by a stockholder may not be brought before the annual meeting if such stockholder or a Stockholder Associated Person, as applicable, takes action contrary to the representations made in the Business Solicitation Statement applicable to such business or if the Business Solicitation Statement applicable to such business contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. The chairperson of the annual meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare at the annual meeting that business was not properly brought before the annual meeting and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.4(i), and, if the chairperson should so determine, he or she shall so declare at the annual meeting that any such business not properly brought before the annual meeting shall not be conducted.
(ii)Advance Notice of Director Nominations at Annual Meetings. Notwithstanding anything in these bylaws to the contrary, only persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.4(ii) shall be eligible for election or re-election as directors at an annual meeting of stockholders. Nominations of persons for election to the board of directors of the corporation shall be made at an annual meeting of stockholders only (A) by or at the direction of the board of directors or (B) by a stockholder of the corporation who (1) was a stockholder of record at the time of the giving of the notice required by this Section 2.4(ii) and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the annual meeting and (2) has complied with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.4(ii). In addition to any other applicable requirements, for a nomination to be made by a stockholder, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in proper written form to the secretary of the corporation.

3


(a)To comply with clause (B) of Section 2.4(ii) above, a nomination to be made by a stockholder must set forth all information required under this Section 2.4(ii) and must be received by the secretary of the corporation at the principal executive offices of the corporation at the time set forth in, and in accordance with, the final three sentences of Section 2.4(i)(a) above; provided additionally, however, that in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the board of directors is increased effective after the time period for which nominations would otherwise be due under the final three sentences of Section 2.4(i)(a) above and there is no Public Announcement naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased board made by the corporation at least ten days before the last day a stockholder may deliver a notice of nomination pursuant to the foregoing provisions, a stockholder’s notice required by this Section 2.4(ii) shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be received by the secretary of the corporation at the principal executive offices of the corporation not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which such Public Announcement is first made by the corporation.
(b)To be in proper written form, such stockholder’s notice to the secretary must set forth:

(2)as to such stockholder giving notice, (A) the information required to be provided pursuant to clauses (2) through (5) of Section 2.4(i)(b) above, and the supplement referenced in the second sentence of Section 2.4(i)(b) above (except that the references to “business” in such clauses shall instead refer to nominations of directors for purposes of this paragraph), and (B) a statement whether either such stockholder or Stockholder Associated Person will deliver a proxy statement and/or form of proxy to holders at least the percentage of the corporation’s voting shares reasonably believed by such stockholder or Stockholder Associated Person to be necessary to elect such nominee(s) and/or otherwise to solicit proxies or votes from stockholders in support of such nomination (such information provided and statements made as required by clauses (A) and (B) above, a “Nominee Solicitation Statement”).
(c)At the request of the board of directors, any person nominated by a stockholder for election as a director must furnish to the secretary of the corporation (1) that information

4


required to be set forth in the stockholder’s notice of nomination of such person as a director as of a date subsequent to the date on which the notice of such person’s nomination was given and (2) such other information as may reasonably be required by the corporation to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as an independent director of the corporation or that could be material to a reasonable stockholder’s understanding of the independence, or lack thereof, of such nominee; in the absence of the furnishing of such information if requested, such stockholder’s nomination shall not be considered in proper form pursuant to this Section 2.4(ii).
(d)Without exception, no person shall be eligible for election or re-election as a director of the corporation at an annual meeting of stockholders unless nominated in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Section 2.4(ii). In addition, a nominee shall not be eligible for election or re-election if a stockholder or Stockholder Associated Person, as applicable, takes action contrary to the representations made in the Nominee Solicitation Statement applicable to such nominee or if the Nominee Solicitation Statement applicable to such nominee contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. The chairperson of the annual meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare at the annual meeting that a nomination was not made in accordance with the provisions prescribed by these bylaws, and if the chairperson should so determine, he or she shall so declare at the annual meeting, and the defective nomination shall be disregarded.
(iii)Advance Notice of Director Nominations for Special Meetings.
(a)For a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected pursuant to Section 2.3, nominations of persons for election to the board of directors shall be made only (1) by or at the direction of the board of directors or (2) by any stockholder of the corporation who (A) is a stockholder of record at the time of the giving of the notice required by this Section 2.4(iii) and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the special meeting and (B) delivers a timely written notice of the nomination to the secretary of the corporation that includes the information set forth in Sections 2.4(ii)(b) and (ii)(c) above. To be timely, such notice must be received by the secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation not earlier than the close of business on the one hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such special meeting or the tenth (10th) day following the day on which Public Announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the board of directors to be elected at such meeting. In no event shall any adjournment, rescheduling or postponement of a special meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice. A person shall not be eligible for election or re-election as a director at a special meeting unless the person is nominated (i) by or at the direction of the board of directors or (ii) by a stockholder in accordance with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.4(iii). In addition, a nominee shall not be eligible for election or re-election if a stockholder or Stockholder Associated Person, as applicable, takes action contrary to the representations made in the Nominee Solicitation Statement applicable to such nominee or if the Nominee Solicitation Statement applicable to such nominee contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.
(b)The chairperson of the special meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare at the meeting that a nomination or business was not made in accordance with the procedures prescribed by these bylaws, and if the chairperson should so determine, he or she shall so declare at the meeting, and the defective nomination or business shall be disregarded.

(iv)Other Requirements and Rights. In addition to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.4, a stockholder must also comply with all applicable requirements of state law and of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 2.4, including, with respect to business such stockholder intends to bring before the annual meeting that involves a proposal that such stockholder requests to be included in the corporation’s proxy statement, the requirements of Rule 14a-8 (or any successor provision) under the 1934 Act. Nothing in this Section 2.4 shall be deemed to affect any right of the corporation to omit a proposal from the corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 (or any successor provision) under the 1934 Act.
(v)Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.4, unless otherwise required by law, if the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder) does not appear at the annual or special meeting of stockholders of the corporation to present a nomination or proposed business, such nomination shall be disregarded and such proposed business shall not be transacted, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the corporation. For purposes of this Section 2.4, to be considered a qualified representative of the stockholder, a person must be a duly authorized officer, manager or partner of such stockholder or must be authorized by a writing executed by such stockholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such stockholder to act for such stockholder as proxy at the meeting of stockholders and such person must produce such writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission, at the meeting of stockholders.
2.5Notice of Stockholders’ Meetings. Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, a written notice of the meeting shall be given which shall state the place, if any, date and hour of the meeting, the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, if such date is different from the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Except as otherwise provided in the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, the written notice of any meeting of stockholders shall be given not less than 10 nor more than 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.
2.6Quorum. The holders of a majority of the voting power of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at all meetings of the stockholders, unless otherwise required by law, the certificate of incorporation, these bylaws or the rules of any applicable stock exchange. Where a separate vote by a class or series or classes or series is required, a majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of such class or series or classes or series entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to that vote on that matter, except as otherwise required by law, the certificate of incorporation, these bylaws or the rules of any applicable stock exchange.
Whether or not a quorum is present at a meeting of stockholders, the chairperson of the meeting shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting. In the absence of a quorum, the stockholders present may, by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of the corporation which are present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon, adjourn the meeting from time to time. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present or represented, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the original meeting.

6


2.7Adjourned Meeting; Notice. When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, unless these bylaws otherwise require, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time, place, if any, thereof, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting, the corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 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 stockholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the board of directors shall fix a new record date for notice of such adjourned meeting in accordance with Section 213(a) of the DGCL and Section 2.11 of these bylaws, and shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such adjourned meeting as of the record date fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting.
2.8Conduct of Business. The date and time of the opening and the closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at a meeting shall be announced at the meeting by the chairperson of the meeting. The board of directors may adopt by resolution such rules and regulations for the conduct of the meeting of stockholders as it shall deem appropriate. Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules and regulations as adopted by the board of directors, the chairperson 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 meeting, to determine the order of business and the procedure at the meeting, including such regulation of the manner of voting and the conduct of business and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such presiding person, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the board of directors or prescribed by the chairperson 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 entitled to vote at the meeting, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as the presiding person of the meeting shall determine; (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. The chairperson at any meeting of stockholders, in addition to making any other determinations that may be appropriate to the conduct of the meeting, shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a matter or business was not properly brought before the meeting and if such presiding person should so determine, such presiding person shall so declare to the meeting and any such matter or business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted or considered. The chairperson of any meeting of stockholders shall be designated by the board of directors; in the absence of such designation, the chairperson of the board, if any, the chief executive officer (in the absence of the chairperson) or the lead independent director (in the absence of the chairperson of the board and the chief executive officer), or in their absence any other executive officer of the corporation, shall serve as chairperson of the stockholder meeting.
2.9Voting. The stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.11 of these bylaws, subject to Section 217 (relating to voting rights of fiduciaries, pledgors and joint owners of stock) and Section 218 (relating to voting trusts and other voting agreements) of the DGCL.
Except as may be otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, each stockholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share of capital stock held by such stockholder.
Except as otherwise required by law, the certificate of incorporation, these bylaws or the rules of any applicable stock exchange, in all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of a

7


majority of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders. Except as otherwise required by law, the certificate of incorporation, these bylaws or the rules of any applicable stock exchange, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. Where a separate vote by a class or series or classes or series is required, in all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of the majority of the voting power of shares of such class or series or classes or series present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon shall be the act of such class or series or classes or series, except as otherwise provided by law, the certificate of incorporation, these bylaws or the rules of any applicable stock exchange.
2.10Stockholder Action By Written Consent Without A Meeting. Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation, any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and shall be delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office in the state of Delaware, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which minutes of proceedings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to the corporation’s registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall, to the extent required by law, be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for notice of such meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take the action were delivered to the corporation. No written consent shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless a valid written consent or valid written consents signed by a sufficient number of stockholders to take such action are delivered to the corporation in the manner prescribed in this Section 2.10 and applicable law within sixty (60) days of the first date on which a written consent is so delivered to the corporation.
2.11Record Dates. In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the board of directors 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 of directors and which record date shall not be more than 60 nor less than 10 days before the date of such meeting. If the board of directors 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 of directors 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 of directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of and 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 of directors 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

8


earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote in accordance with the provisions of Section 213 of the DGCL and this Section 2.11 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 the stockholders 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 of directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than 60 days prior to such action. If no 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 of directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.
Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation, in order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the board of directors 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 of directors, and which record date shall not be more than ten (10) days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the board of directors. If no record date for determining stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting is fixed by the board of directors, (i) when no prior action of the board of directors is required by law, the record date for such purpose shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the corporation in accordance with applicable law, and (ii) if prior action by the board of directors is required by law, the record date for such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the board of directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action.
2.12Proxies. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders, or to take corporate action by written consent without a meeting, may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy authorized by an instrument in writing or by a transmission permitted by law filed in accordance with the procedure established for the meeting, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. The revocability of a proxy that states on its face that it is irrevocable shall be governed by the provisions of Section 212 of the DGCL. A written proxy may be in the form of a telegram, cablegram, or other means of electronic transmission which sets forth or is submitted with information from which it can be determined that the telegram, cablegram, or other means of electronic transmission was authorized by the stockholder.
2.13List of Stockholders Entitled to Vote. The corporation shall prepare, at least 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 10 days before the meeting date, 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. The corporation shall not be required to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least 10 days prior to the meeting: (i) 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 (ii) during ordinary business hours, at the corporation’s principal place of business. In the event that the corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then a list of stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be examined by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held

9


solely by means of remote communication, then such 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 stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the list of stockholders required by this Section 2.13 or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.
2.14Inspectors of Election. Before any meeting of stockholders, the board of directors shall appoint an inspector or inspectors of election to act at the meeting or its adjournment. The number of inspectors shall be either one (1) or three (3). If any person appointed as inspector fails to appear or fails or refuses to act, then the chairperson of the meeting may, and upon the request of any stockholder or a stockholder’s proxy shall, appoint a person to fill that vacancy; provided further that, in any case, if no inspector or alternate is able to act at a meeting of stockholders, the chairperson of the meeting shall appoint at least one (1) inspector to act at the meeting.
Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath to execute faithfully the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. Such inspectors shall:
(i)determine the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, the number of shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, and the authenticity, validity, and effect of proxies;
(ii)receive votes, ballots or consents;
(iii)hear and determine all challenges and questions in any way arising in connection with the right to vote;
(iv)count and tabulate all votes or consents;
(v)determine the result; and
(vi)do any other acts that may be proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all stockholders.
The inspectors of election shall perform their duties impartially, in good faith, to the best of their ability and as expeditiously as is practical. If there are three (3) inspectors of election, the decision, act or certificate of a majority is effective in all respects as the decision, act or certificate of all. Any report or certificate made by the inspectors of election is prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.
ARTICLE III
DIRECTORS
3.1Powers. The business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the board of directors, except as may be otherwise provided in the DGCL or the certificate of incorporation.
3.2Number of Directors. Subject to the provisions of the certificate of incorporation, the board of directors shall consist of one or more members, each of whom shall be a natural person. Unless the

10


certificate of incorporation fixes the number of directors, and subject to the rights of holders of any series of preferred stock, the number of directors shall be determined from time to time by resolution of the board of directors. No reduction of the authorized number of directors shall have the effect of removing any director before that director’s term of office expires.
3.3Election, Qualification and Term of Office Of Directors. Except as provided in Section 3.4 of these bylaws, each director, including a director elected to fill a vacancy, shall hold office until the expiration of the term for which elected and until such director’s successor is elected and qualified or until such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal. Directors need not be stockholders unless so required by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws. The certificate of incorporation or these bylaws may prescribe other qualifications for directors.
In accordance with the provisions of the certificate of incorporation, the directors of the corporation shall be divided into three classes.
3.4Resignation and Vacancies. Any director may resign at any time upon notice given in writing or by electronic transmission to the corporation. A resignation is effective when the resignation is delivered unless the resignation specifies a later effective date or an effective date determined upon the happening of an event or events. A resignation which is conditioned upon the director failing to receive a specified vote for reelection as a director may provide that it is irrevocable. Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, when one or more directors resign from the board of directors, effective at a future date, a majority of the directors then in office, including those who have so resigned, shall have power to fill such vacancy or vacancies, the vote thereon to take effect when such resignation or resignations shall become effective.
Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors elected by all of the stockholders having the right to vote as a single class shall be filled only by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. If the directors are divided into classes, a person so elected by the directors then in office to fill a vacancy or newly created directorship shall hold office until the next election of the class for which such director shall have been chosen and until his or her successor shall have been duly elected and qualified.
3.5Place of Meetings; Meetings By Telephone. The board of directors may hold meetings, both regular and special, either within or outside the State of Delaware. Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, members of the board of directors, or any committee designated by the board of directors, may participate in a meeting of the board of directors, or any committee, by means of conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and such participation in a meeting shall constitute presence in person at the meeting.
3.6Regular Meetings. Regular meetings of the board of directors may be held without notice at such time and at such place as shall from time to time be determined by the board of directors.
3.7Special Meetings; Notice. Special meetings of the board of directors for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the chairperson of the board of directors, the chief executive officer, the president, the secretary or a majority of the authorized number of directors, at such times and places as he or she or they shall designate.

11

All officers of the corporation shall respectively have such authority and perform such duties in the management of the business of the corporation as may be designated from time to time by the board of directors or the stockholders and, to the extent not so provided, as generally pertain to their respective offices, subject to the control of the board of directors.
ARTICLE VI
STOCK
6.1Stock Certificates; Partly Paid Shares. The shares of the corporation shall be represented by certificates; provided that the board of directors may provide by resolution or resolutions that some or all of any or all classes or series of its stock shall be uncertificated shares. Any such resolution shall not apply to shares represented by a certificate until such certificate is surrendered to the corporation. Every holder of stock represented by certificates shall be entitled to have a certificate signed by, or in the name of the corporation by any two authorized officers of the corporation, which shall include, without limitation, the chairperson of the board of directors, the vice-chairperson of the board of directors, the president, any vice-president, the treasurer, any assistant treasurer, the secretary and any assistant secretary of the corporation, representing the number of shares registered in certificate form. Any or all of the signatures on the certificate may be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate has ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the corporation with the same effect as if such person were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue. The corporation shall not have power to issue a certificate in bearer form.
The corporation may issue the whole or any part of its shares as partly paid and subject to call for the remainder of the consideration to be paid therefor. Upon the face or back of each stock certificate issued to represent any such partly-paid shares, or upon the books and records of the corporation in the case of uncertificated partly-paid shares, the total amount of the consideration to be paid therefor and the amount paid thereon shall be stated. Upon the declaration of any dividend on fully-paid shares, the corporation shall declare a dividend upon partly-paid shares of the same class, but only upon the basis of the percentage of the consideration actually paid thereon.
6.2Special Designation On Certificates. If the corporation is authorized to issue more than one class of stock or more than one series of any class, then the powers, the designations, the preferences, and the 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 the certificate that the corporation shall issue to represent such class or series of stock; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 202 of the DGCL, in lieu of the foregoing requirements there may be set forth on the face or back of the certificate that the corporation shall issue to represent 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. Within a reasonable time after the issuance or transfer of uncertificated stock, 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 this Section 6.2 or Sections 151,

15


156, 202(a) or 218(a) of the DGCL or with respect to this Section 6.2 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. Except as otherwise expressly provided by law, the rights and obligations of the holders of uncertificated stock and the rights and obligations of the holders of certificates representing stock of the same class and series shall be identical.
6.3Lost Certificates. Except as provided in this Section 6.3, no new certificates for shares shall be issued to replace a previously issued certificate unless the latter is surrendered to the corporation and cancelled at the same time. The corporation may issue a new certificate of stock or uncertificated shares in the place of any certificate theretofore issued by it, alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, and the corporation may require the owner of the lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or such owner’s legal representative, to give the corporation a bond sufficient to indemnify it against any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate or uncertificated shares.
6.4Dividends. The board of directors, subject to any restrictions contained in the certificate of incorporation or applicable law, may declare and pay dividends upon the shares of the corporation’s capital stock.
The board of directors may set apart out of any of the funds of the corporation available for dividends a reserve or reserves for any proper purpose and may abolish any such reserve. Such purposes shall include but not be limited to equalizing dividends, repairing or maintaining any property of the corporation, and meeting contingencies.
6.5Transfer of Stock. Transfers of record of shares of stock of the corporation shall be made only upon its books by the holders thereof, in person or by an attorney duly authorized, and, subject to Section 6.3 of these bylaws, if such stock is certificated, upon the surrender of a certificate or certificates for a like number of shares, properly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignation or authority to transfer.
6.6Stock Transfer Agreements. The corporation shall have power to enter into and perform any agreement with any number of stockholders of any one or more classes of stock of the corporation to restrict the transfer of shares of stock of the corporation of any one or more classes owned by such stockholders in any manner not prohibited by the DGCL.
6.7Registered Stockholders. The corporation:
(i)shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive dividends and to vote as such owner;
(ii)shall be entitled to hold liable for calls and assessments the person registered on its books as the owner of shares; and

ARTICLE VII
MANNER OF GIVING NOTICE AND WAIVER
7.1Notice of Stockholders’ Meetings. Notice of any meeting of stockholders, if mailed, is given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at such stockholder’s address as it appears on the corporation’s records. An affidavit of the secretary or an assistant secretary of the corporation or of the transfer agent or other agent of the corporation that the notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.
7.2Notice By Electronic Transmission. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders pursuant to the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, any notice to stockholders given by the corporation under any provision of the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws shall be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given. Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the corporation. Any such consent shall be deemed revoked if:
(i)the corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices given by the corporation in accordance with such consent; and
(ii)such inability becomes known to the secretary or an assistant secretary of the corporation or to the transfer agent, or other person responsible for the giving of notice.
However, the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or other action.
Any notice given pursuant to the preceding paragraph shall be deemed given:
(iii)if by facsimile telecommunication, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice;
(iv)if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice;
(v)if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later of (A) such posting and (B) the giving of such separate notice; and
(vi)if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder.
An affidavit of the secretary or an assistant secretary or of the transfer agent or other agent of the corporation that the notice has been given by a form of electronic transmission shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.
An “electronic transmission” means any form of communication, not directly involving the physical transmission of paper, that creates a record that may be retained, retrieved, and reviewed by a recipient thereof, and that may be directly reproduced in paper form by such a recipient through an automated process.
Notice by a form of electronic transmission shall not apply with respect to Sections 164, 296, 311, 312 or 324 of the DGCL.

17


7.3Notice To Stockholders Sharing An Address. Except as otherwise prohibited under the DGCL, without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders given by the corporation under the provisions of the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws shall be effective if given by a single written notice to stockholders who share an address if consented to by the stockholders at that address to whom such notice is given. Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the corporation. Any stockholder who fails to object in writing to the corporation, within 60 days of having been given written notice by the corporation of its intention to send the single notice, shall be deemed to have consented to receiving such single written notice.
7.4Notice To Person With Whom Communication Is Unlawful. Whenever notice is required to be given, under the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, to any person with whom communication is unlawful, the giving of such notice to such person shall not be required and there shall be no duty to apply to any governmental authority or agency for a license or permit to give such notice to such person. Any action or meeting which shall be taken or held without notice to any such person with whom communication is unlawful shall have the same force and effect as if such notice had been duly given. In the event that the action taken by the corporation is such as to require the filing of a certificate under the DGCL, the certificate shall state, if such is the fact and if notice is required, that notice was given to all persons entitled to receive notice except such persons with whom communication is unlawful.
7.5Waiver of Notice. Whenever notice is required to be given under any provision of the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation or 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 or after the time of the event for which notice is to be given, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. 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. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice or any waiver by electronic transmission unless so required by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws.
ARTICLE VIII
FORUM FOR CERTAIN ACTIONS
Unless the corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the corporation, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee or stockholder of the corporation to the corporation or the corporation’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws or as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine shall be a state or federal court located within the state of Delaware, in all cases subject to the court’s having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock of the corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this bylaw.

18


ARTICLE IX
INDEMNIFICATION
9.1Indemnification of Directors and Officers In Third Party Proceedings. Subject to the other provisions of this Article IX, the corporation shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as now or hereinafter in effect, 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 (a “Proceeding”) (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 is or was a director or officer of the corporation serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust 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 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 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.
9.2Indemnification of Directors and Officers in Actions by or in the Right of the Corporation. Subject to the other provisions of this Article IX, the corporation shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as now or hereinafter in effect, 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 is or was a director or officer of the corporation serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust 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.
9.3Successful Defense. To the extent 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 described in Section 9.1 or Section 9.2, 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.
9.4Indemnification of Others. Subject to the other provisions of this Article IX, the corporation shall have power to indemnify its employees and agents to the extent not prohibited by the DGCL or other applicable law. The board of directors shall have the power to delegate to such person or persons as the board shall in its discretion determine the determination of whether employees or agents shall be indemnified.

19


9.5Advance Payment of Expenses. Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by a current officer or director of the corporation in defending any Proceeding shall be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding upon receipt of a written request therefor (together with documentation reasonably evidencing such expenses) and an undertaking by or on behalf of the person to repay such amounts if it shall ultimately be determined that the person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article IX or the DGCL. Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by former directors and officers or other employees and agents of the corporation or by persons serving at the request of the corporation as directors, officers, employees or agents of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the corporation deems appropriate.
9.6Limitation On Indemnification. Subject to the requirements in Section 9.3 and the DGCL, the corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify any person pursuant to this Article IX in connection with any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding):
(i)for which payment has actually been made to or on behalf of such person under any statute, insurance policy, indemnity provision, vote or otherwise, except with respect to any excess beyond the amount paid;
(ii)for an accounting or disgorgement of profits pursuant to Section 16(b) of the 1934 Act, or similar provisions of federal, state or local statutory law or common law, if such person is held liable therefor (including pursuant to any settlement arrangements);
(iii)for any reimbursement of the corporation by such person of any bonus or other incentive-based or equity-based compensation or of any profits realized by such person from the sale of securities of the corporation, as required in each case under the 1934 Act (including any such reimbursements that arise from an accounting restatement of the corporation pursuant to Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), or the payment to the corporation of profits arising from the purchase and sale by such person of securities in violation of Section 306 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act), if such person is held liable therefor (including pursuant to any settlement arrangements);
(iv)initiated by such person, including any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by such person against the corporation or its directors, officers, employees, agents or other indemnitees, unless (a) the board of directors authorized the Proceeding (or the relevant part of the Proceeding) prior to its initiation, (b) the corporation provides the indemnification, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the corporation under applicable law, (c) otherwise required to be made under Section 9.7 or (d) otherwise required by applicable law; or
(v)if prohibited by applicable law; provided, however, that if any provision or provisions of this Article IX shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (1) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Article IX (including, without limitation, each portion of any paragraph or clause containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and (2) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Article IX (including, without limitation, each such portion of any paragraph or clause containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.
9.7Determination; Claim. If a claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Article IX is not paid in full within 60 days after receipt by the corporation of the written request therefor,

20


the claimant shall be entitled to an adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction of his or her entitlement to such indemnification or advancement of expenses. The corporation shall indemnify such person against any and all expenses that are incurred by such person in connection with any action for indemnification or advancement of expenses from the corporation under this Article IX, to the extent such person is successful in such action, and to the extent not prohibited by law. In any such suit, the corporation shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, have the burden of proving that the claimant is not entitled to the requested indemnification or advancement of expenses.
9.8Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article IX 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 or any statute, bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. The corporation is specifically authorized to enter into individual contracts with any or all of its directors, officers, employees or agents respecting indemnification and advancement of expenses, to the fullest extent not prohibited by the DGCL or other applicable law.
9.9Insurance. 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 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 to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of the DGCL.
9.10Survival. The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred by this Article IX shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
9.11Effect of Repeal or Modification. A right to indemnification or to advancement of expenses arising under a provision of the certificate of incorporation or a bylaw shall not be eliminated or impaired by an amendment to the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws after the occurrence of the act or omission that is the subject of the civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding for which indemnification or advancement of expenses is sought, unless the provision in effect at the time of such act or omission explicitly authorizes such elimination or impairment after such action or omission has occurred.
9.12Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Article IX, 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 or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article IX 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 IX, references to “other enterprises” shall include employee benefit plans; references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an 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

21


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 IX.

2.9    Voting Thresholds.  When a quorum is present at any meeting, the vote of the holders of a majority of the stock having voting power present in person or represented by proxy shall decide any question brought before such meeting, unless the question is one upon which by express provision of the statutes or of the certificate of incorporation, a different vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question.
2.10    Number of Votes Per Share.  Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, each stockholder shall at every meeting of the stockholders be entitled to one vote by such stockholder or by proxy for each share of the capital stock having voting power held by such stockholder, but no proxy shall be voted on after five years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period.

The date on which such telegram, cablegram or electronic transmission is transmitted shall be deemed to be the date on which such consent was signed. No consent given by telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission shall be deemed to have been delivered until such consent is reproduced in paper form and until such paper form is delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded.

Notice of any special meeting shall be given to each director at his business or residence in writing, or by telegram, facsimile transmission, telephone communication or electronic transmission (provided, with respect to electronic transmission, that the director has consented to receive the form of transmission at the address to which it is directed). If mailed, such notice shall be deemed adequately delivered when deposited in the United States mails so addressed, with postage thereon prepaid, at least five (5) days before such meeting. If by telegram, such notice shall be deemed adequately delivered when the telegram is delivered to the telegraph company at least twenty-four (24) hours before such meeting.

3.8    Quorum.  At all meetings of the Board of Directors a majority of the directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business and any act of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be an act of the Board of Directors, except as may be otherwise specifically provided by statute or by the certificate of incorporation.

Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder or director by written notice to the corporation. Any such consent shall be deemed revoked if (1) the corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices given by the corporation in accordance with such consent and (2) such inability becomes known to the secretary or an assistant secretary of the corporation or to the transfer agent, or other person responsible for the giving of notice; provided, however, the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or other action.

In the event that any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, the certificate may be issued by the corporation with the same effect as if such officer, transfer agent or registrar were still acting as such at the date of issue.
6.3    Lost Certificates.  The Board of Directors may direct a new certificate or certificates to be issued in place of any certificate or certificates theretofore issued by the corporation alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed. When authorizing such issuance of a new certificate or certificates, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate or certificates, or his legal representative, to advertise the same in such manner as it shall require and/or to give the corporation a bond in such sum as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the corporation with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.
6.4    Transfer of Stock.  Upon surrender to the corporation or the transfer agent of the corporation of a certificate for shares duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignation or authority to transfer, it shall be the duty of the corporation to issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate and record the transaction upon its books.
6.5    Fixing a Record Date.  In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, or 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 of Directors may fix a record date which shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any other action. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a

11



meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.
6.6    Registered Stockholders.  The corporation shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive dividends, to vote as such owner, to hold liable for calls and assessments a person registered on its books as the owner of shares and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of Delaware.
ARTICLE VII
RESTRICTION ON TRANSFERS
7.1    Transfer Restrictions  At any time prior to a Liquidation Event (as defined in the certificate of incorporation), before any holder (“Stockholder”) of shares of capital stock of the corporation (“Shares”) may transfer, assign, pledge, or otherwise dispose of or encumber Shares (or any interest therein) to another prospective holder, such Stockholder must obtain the prior written consent of the corporation upon resolutions duly approved by the Board of Directors, which consent may be withheld in its sole discretion.
7.2    Exceptions for Certain Transfers Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of Section 7.1 shall not apply to the following transactions:
(a)    In the case of a Stockholder who is an individual, the transfer without consideration of any Shares made for bona fide estate planning purposes, either during a Stockholder’s lifetime or on death by will or intestacy to (i) his or her spouse or Spousal Equivalent, child (natural or adopted), sibling, or any other direct lineal antecedent or descendant of such Stockholder (or his or her spouse or Spousal Equivalent) (all of the foregoing collectively referred to as “family members”), or any other relative approved by the corporation upon resolutions duly approved by the Board of Directors or (ii) any custodian or trustee of any trust, partnership or limited liability company solely for the benefit of, or the ownership interests of which are owned wholly by, such Stockholder or any such family members. “Spousal Equivalent” as used herein shall mean an individual who is registered with any state governmental entity as a domestic partner of the relevant person to whom such individual may be a Spousal Equivalent (a “Registered Domestic Partner”) or who (i) irrespective of whether or not the relevant person to whom such individual may be a Spousal Equivalent and the Spousal Equivalent are the same sex, they are the sole spousal equivalent of the other for the last twelve (12) months, (ii) they intend to remain so indefinitely, (iii) neither are married to anyone else nor a Registered Domestic Partner with anyone else, (iv) both are at least 18 years of age and mentally competent to consent to contract, (v) they are not related by blood to a degree of closeness that which would prohibit legal marriage in the state in which they legally reside, (vi) they are jointly responsible for each other’s common welfare and financial obligations, and (vii) they reside together in the same residence for the last twelve (12) months and intend to do so indefinitely;
(b)    In the case of a Stockholder which is a corporation, the transfer of any or all of its Shares to its own stockholders (including without limitation pursuant to and in accordance

12



with the terms of any merger, consolidation, reclassification of shares or capital reorganization of the corporate stockholder, or pursuant to a sale of all or substantially all of the stock or assets of a corporate stockholder);
(c)    In the case of a Stockholder which is a limited or general partnership or limited liability company, the transfer of any or all of its Shares to any or all of its partners or members or former or retired partners or members;
(d)    A Stockholder’s transfer of any or all of such Stockholder’s Shares to any other Stockholder; or
(e)    A transfer by a Stockholder to any other person who or which, directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with such Stockholder, including, without limitation, any general partner, officer, director or manager of such Stockholder and any venture capital fund now or hereafter existing that is controlled by one or more general partners or managing members of, or is under common investment management with, such Stockholder.
7.3    Subsequent Transfers  In the case of any transfer consented to by the corporation or described in Section 7.2 above or otherwise, the transferee, assignee, or other recipient shall receive and hold the Shares subject to the provisions of this Article VII, and there shall be no further transfer of such stock except in accordance with this Section 7.1, Section 7.2 and Section 7.3.
7.4    Termination of Transfer Restrictions  The provisions of this Article 7 shall terminate upon the date securities of the corporation are first offered to the public pursuant to a registration statement filed with, and declared effective by, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
7.5    Legend  The certificate or certificates representing the Shares shall bear the following legend (as well as any legends required by applicable state and federal corporate and securities laws):
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER CONTAINED IN THE BYLAWS OF THE COMPANY.
7.6    Waiver  The provisions of Section 7.1 may be waived, with respect to any transaction subject thereto, by the corporation upon resolutions duly approved by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that such restrictions shall continue to apply to the Shares subsequent to such transaction.
ARTICLE VIII
GENERAL PROVISIONS
8.1    Dividends.  Dividends upon the capital stock of the corporation, if any, subject to the provisions of the certificate of incorporation, may be declared by the Board of Directors

13



at any regular or special meeting, pursuant to law. Dividends may be paid in cash, in property or in shares of the capital stock, subject to the provisions of the certificate of incorporation.
8.2    Reserve for Dividends.  Before payment of any dividend, there may be set aside out of any funds of the corporation available for dividends such sum or sums as the directors from time to time, in their sole discretion, think proper as a reserve or reserves to meet contingencies, or for equalizing dividends, or for repairing or maintaining any property of the corporation, or for such other purposes as the directors think conducive to the interests of the corporation, and the directors may modify or abolish any such reserve in the manner in which it was created.
8.3    Checks.  All checks or demands for money and notes of the corporation shall be signed by such officer or officers or such other person or persons as the Board of Directors may from time to time designate.
8.4    Fiscal Year.  The fiscal year of the corporation shall be fixed by resolution of the Board of Directors.
8.5    Corporate Seal.  The Board of Directors may adopt a corporate seal having inscribed thereon the name of the corporation, the year of its organization and the words “Corporate Seal, Delaware.” The seal may be used by causing it or a facsimile thereof to be impressed or affixed or otherwise reproduced.
8.6    Books.  The books of the corporation may be kept (subject to any provision contained in the statutes) outside the state of Delaware at the offices of the corporation, or at such other place or places as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors.
8.7    Indemnification.  The corporation shall, to the fullest extent authorized under the laws of the State of Delaware, as those laws may be amended and supplemented from time to time, indemnify any director made, or threatened to be made, a party to an action or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative, by reason of being a director of the corporation or a predecessor corporation or a director or officer of another corporation, if such person served in such position at the request of the corporation; provided, however, that the corporation shall indemnify any such director or officer in connection with a proceeding initiated by such director or officer only if such proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors of the corporation. The indemnification provided for in this Section 8.7 shall: (i) not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under these bylaws, agreement or vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in their official capacities and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, (ii) continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, and (iii) inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of a person who has ceased to be a director. The corporation’s obligation to provide indemnification under this Section 8.7 shall be offset to the extent of any other source of indemnification or any otherwise applicable insurance coverage under a policy maintained by the corporation or any other person.
Expenses incurred by a director of the corporation in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director of the corporation

14



(or was serving at the corporation’s request as a director or officer of another corporation) 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 director to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized by relevant sections of the DGCL. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the corporation shall not be required to advance such expenses to an agent who is a party to an action, suit or proceeding brought by the corporation and approved by a majority of the Board of Directors of the corporation that alleges willful misappropriation of corporate assets by such agent, disclosure of confidential information in violation of such agent’s fiduciary or contractual obligations to the corporation or any other willful and deliberate breach in bad faith of such agent’s duty to the corporation or its stockholders.
The foregoing provisions of this Section 8.7 shall be deemed to be a contract between the corporation and each director who serves in such capacity at any time while this bylaw is in effect, and any repeal or modification thereof shall not affect any rights or obligations then existing with respect to any state of facts then or theretofore existing or any action, suit or proceeding theretofore or thereafter brought based in whole or in part upon any such state of facts.
The Board of Directors in its sole discretion shall have power on behalf of the corporation to indemnify any person, other than a director, made a party to any action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she, his testator or intestate, is or was an officer or employee of the corporation.
To assure indemnification under this Section 8.7 of all directors, officers and employees who are determined by the corporation or otherwise to be or to have been “fiduciaries” of any employee benefit plan of the corporation that may exist from time to time, Section 145 of the DGCL shall, for the purposes of this Section 8.7, be interpreted as follows: an “other enterprise” shall be deemed to include such an employee benefit plan, including without limitation, any plan of the corporation that is governed by the Act of Congress entitled “Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974,” as amended from time to time; the corporation shall be deemed to have requested a person to serve the corporation for purposes of Section 145 of the DGCL, as administrator of an employee benefit plan where the performance by such person of his duties to the corporation also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves services by, such person to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan; excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to such Act of Congress shall be deemed “fines.”
CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION GOVERNS
8.8    Conflicts with Certificate of Incorporation.  In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the corporation’s certificate of incorporation and these bylaws, the provisions of the certificate of incorporation shall govern.
ARTICLE IX
AMENDMENTS
9.1    Subject to the provisions of the corporation’s certificate of incorporation, these bylaws may be altered, amended or repealed, or new bylaws may be adopted by the

15



stockholders or by the Board of Directors, when such power is conferred upon the Board of Directors by the certificate of incorporation at any regular meeting of the stockholders or of the Board of Directors or at any special meeting of the stockholders or of the Board of Directors if notice of such alteration, amendment, repeal or adoption of new bylaws be contained in the notice of such special meeting. If the power to adopt, amend or repeal bylaws is conferred upon the Board of Directors by the certificate of incorporation, it shall not divest or limit the power of the stockholders to adopt, amend or repeal bylaws.
ARTICLE X
LOANS TO OFFICERS
10.1    Subject to the provisions of the corporation’s certificate of incorporation, the corporation may lend money to, or guarantee any obligation of or otherwise assist any officer or other employee of the corporation or of its subsidiaries, including any officer or employee who is a director of the corporation or its subsidiaries, whenever, in the judgment of the Board of Directors (including each director of the corporation that the holders of record of its Series A Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and/or Series E Preferred Stock are entitled to elect pursuant to the corporation’s certificate of incorporation (the “Investor Directors”)), such loan, guarantee or assistance may reasonably be expected to benefit the corporation. The loan, guarantee or other assistance may be with or without interest and may be unsecured or secured in such manner as the Board of Directors (including the Investor Directors) shall approve, including, without limitation, a pledge of shares of stock of the corporation. Nothing in these bylaws shall be deemed to deny, limit or restrict the powers of guaranty or warranty of the corporation at common law or under any statute.
ARTICLE XI
SECTION HEADINGS
11.1    The headings contained in these bylaws are for reference purposes only and shall not be construed to be part of and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of these bylaws.

(a)Subject to the conditions of this Section 1.2, if the Company shall receive at any time after the earlier of (i) five (5) years after the date of this Agreement, or (ii) six (6) months after the effective date of the Initial Offering, a written request from the Holders of (A) at least a majority of Registrable Securities issued or issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding and (B) at least a majority of Registrable Securities issued or issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding (for purposes of this Section 1.2, (A) and (B) together, the “Initiating Holders”) that (i) requests the Company file a registration statement under the Act covering the registration of Registrable Securities with an anticipated aggregate offering price of at least $30,000,000, (ii) specifies the approximate number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered and (iii) states the intended method of distribution, then the Company shall, within ten (10) days of the receipt thereof, give written notice of such request to all Holders, and subject to the limitations of this Section 1.2, use all commercially reasonable efforts to effect, as soon as practicable, the registration under the Act of all Registrable Securities that the Holders request to be registered in



a written request received by the Company within twenty (20) days of the mailing of the Compay’s notice pursuant to this Section 1.2(a).
(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 1.2, and the Company shall include such information in the written notice referred to in Section 1.2(a). In such event the right of any Holder to include its Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting (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 enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such underwriting (which underwriter or underwriters shall be reasonably acceptable the Company). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1.2, if the underwriter advises the Company that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of securities underwritten (including Registrable Securities), then the Company shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities that would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated to the Holders of such Registrable Securities pro rata based on the number of Registrable Securities held by all such Holders (including the Initiating Holders). In no event shall any Registrable Securities be excluded from such underwriting unless all other securities are first excluded. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from the registration.
(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to effect a registration pursuant to this Section 1.2:
(i)in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required under the Act; or
(ii)after the Company has effected two (2) registrations pursuant to this Section 1.2, and such registrations have been declared or ordered effective; provided that, a registration shall not count as one of the permitted registrations pursuant to this Section 1.2 until it has become effective and unless the holders of Registrable Securities are able to register and sell at least 90% of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration; provided further, that in any event, the Company shall pay all registration expenses in connection with any registration initiated pursuant to this Section 1.2 whether or not it has become effective and whether or not such registration has counted as one of the permitted registrations under this Section 1.2; or
(iii)for a period of (a) six (6) months following the effective date of the Company’s Initial Offering or (b) ninety (90) days following the effective date of any public offering other than the Company’s Initial Offering; or



(iv)if the Initiating Holders propose to dispose of Registrable Securities that may be registered on Form S-3 pursuant to Section 1.4 hereof; or
(v)if the Company shall furnish to Holders requesting a registration statement pursuant to this Section 1.2 a certificate signed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the Board of Directors stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such registration statement to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the request of the Initiating Holders, provided that in such event, the Initiating Holder(s) initially requesting such registration shall be entitled to withdraw such request and, if such request is withdrawn, such registration shall not count as one of the permitted registrations under this Section 1.2 and the Company shall pay all registration expenses in connection with such registration; and provided further that such right shall be exercised by the Company not more than once in any twelve (12) month period.
1.3Company Registration.
(a)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) any of its stock or other securities under the Act in connection with the public offering of such securities (other than (i) pursuant to a registration demand by the Initiating Holders, (ii) in connection with registrations on Form S-4 or S-8 promulgated by the SEC or any successor forms or (iii) a registration relating solely to employment benefit plans), 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 such notice by the Company in accordance with Section 3.5, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 1.3(c), use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be registered under the Act all of the Registrable Securities that each such Holder requests to be registered.
(b)Right to Terminate Registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 1.3 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration. The expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 1.7 hereof.
(c)Underwriting Requirements. In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the Company’s capital stock, the Company shall not be required under this Section 1.3 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 the Company (or by other persons entitled to select the underwriters), enter into an underwriting agreement and other documents required by the terms of such underwriting agreement, in customary form with such underwriters and then only in such quantity as the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company. If the total amount of securities, including Registrable Securities, requested by stockholders to be included in such offering exceeds the amount of securities sold other than by the Company that the underwriters determine in their sole discretion is compatible



with the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such securities, including Registrable Securities, that the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering. In no event shall any Registrable Securities be excluded from such offering unless all other stockholders’ securities have been first excluded. In the event that the underwriters determine that less than all of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered can be included in such offering, then the Registrable Securities that are included in such offering shall be apportioned pro rata among the selling Holders based on the number of Registrable Securities held by all selling Holders or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by all such selling Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall (i) the amount of securities of the selling Holders included in the offering be reduced below twenty percent (20%) of the total amount of securities included in such offering, unless such offering is the Initial Offering, in which case the selling Holders may be excluded if the underwriters make the determination described above and no other stockholder’s securities are included in such offering. For purposes of the preceding sentence concerning apportionment, for any selling stockholder that is a Holder of Registrable Securities and that is a venture capital fund, partnership or corporation, the affiliated venture capital funds, 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 Holder,” and any pro rata reduction with respect to such “selling Holder” shall be based upon the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities owned by all such related entities and individuals.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no holder of Registrable Securities included in any underwritten registration shall be required to make any representations or warranties to the Company or the underwriters (other than representations and warranties regarding such holder's title to the securities, such person's authority to sell such securities and such holder's intended method of distribution) or to undertake any indemnification obligations to the Company or the underwriters with respect thereto, except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 1.9 below.
1.4Form S-3 Registration. In case the Company shall receive from the Holders of (i) at least a majority of Registrable Securities issued or issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding or (ii) at least a majority of Registrable Securities issued or issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding (for purposes of this Section 1.4, the “S-3 Initiating Holders”) 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 shall:
(a)within ten (10) days after receipt of such written request, give written notice of the proposed registration, and any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders; and
(b)use all commercially reasonable efforts to effect, as soon as practicable, 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 Holders’ Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written



request given within twenty (20) days after receipt of such written notice from the Company, provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance, pursuant to this Section 1.4:
(i)if Form S-3 is not available for such offering by the Holders;
(ii)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 (net of any underwriters’ discounts or commissions) of less than $5,000,000;
(iii)if the Company shall furnish to all Holders requesting a registration statement pursuant to this Section 1.4 a certificate signed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the Board of Directors stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such registration statement to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the request of the Initiating Holders, provided that in such event, the Initiating Holder(s) initially requesting such registration shall be entitled to withdraw such request and, if such request is withdrawn, such registration shall not count as one of the permitted registrations under this Section 1.4 and the Company shall pay all registration expenses in connection with such registration provided further that such right shall be exercised by the Company not more than once in any twelve (12) month period; or
(iv)if the Company has (a) within the twelve (12) month period preceding the date of such request, already effected two (2) registrations on Form S-3 pursuant to this Section 1.4, (b) solely in the case of the holders of Registrable Securities issued or issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, already effected five (5) registrations on Form S-3 pursuant to clause (i) of the first sentence of this Section 1.4, or (c) solely in the case of the holders of Registrable Securities issued or issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, already effected five (5) registrations on Form S-3 pursuant to clause (ii) of the first sentence of this Section 1.4.
(c)If the S-3 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 1.4 and the Company shall include such information in the written notice referred to in Section 1.4(a). The provisions of Section 1.2(b) shall be applicable to such request (with the substitution of Section 1.4 for references to Section 1.2).
(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 S-3 Initiating Holders. After the Company has become subject to the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to make short-form registrations on Form S-3 available for the sale of Registrable Securities. If the Company is qualified to and, pursuant to the request of any



Investor, has filed with the SEC a registration statement under the Act on Form S-3 pursuant to Rule 415 (a “Shelf Registration”), then the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Shelf Registration to be declared effective under the Act as soon as practicable after filing, and once effective, the Company shall cause such Shelf Registration to remain effective for a period ending on the earlier of (i) the date on which all Registrable Securities included in such registration have been sold pursuant to such Shelf Registration or (ii) the date as of which all of the Registrable Securities included in such Shelf Registration are able to be sold within a 90-day period in compliance with Rule 144 under the Act. Registrations effected pursuant to this Section 1.4 shall not be counted as requests for registration effected pursuant to Section 1.2.
1.5Obligations of the Company. Whenever required under this Section 1 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 all commercially reasonable 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 a period of up to one hundred twenty (120) days or, if earlier, until the distribution contemplated in the Registration Statement has been completed (provided that before filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, the Company shall furnish to counsel selected by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such registration copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents shall be subject to the review and comments of such counsel);
(b)notify in writing each holder of Registrable Securities to be sold thereunder of the effectiveness of each registration statement filed hereunder and 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 keep such registration statement effective for a period of either (i) not less than 180 days or, if such registration statement relates to an underwritten offering, such longer period, as in the opinion of counsel for the underwriters, a prospectus is required by law to be delivered in connection with sales of securities thereunder by any underwriter or dealer or (ii) such shorter period as shall terminate when all of the securities covered by such registration statement have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in such registration statement (but in any event not before the expiration of any longer period required under the Act), and to comply with the provisions of the Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement during such period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the sellers thereof set forth in such registration statement;
(c)furnish to the Holders such number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus and any Free Writing Prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them;



(d)use all commercially reasonable efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such 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;
(f)notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus (to the extent prepared by or on behalf of the Company) relating thereto is required to be delivered under the 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, at the request of any such Holder, the Company will, as soon as reasonably practicable, file and furnish to all such Holders a supplement or amendment to such prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus (to the extent prepared by or on behalf of the Company) so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made;
(g)cause all such Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Section 1 to be listed on a national exchange or trading system and on each securities exchange and trading 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 to this Agreement and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration;
(i)make available for inspection by any seller of Registrable Securities, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such seller or underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers, managers, directors, employees and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration statement;
(j)take all reasonable actions to ensure that any Free-Writing Prospectus utilized in connection with any registration hereunder complies in all material respects with the Act, is filed in accordance with the Act to the extent required thereby, is retained in accordance with the Act to the extent required thereby and, when taken together with the related prospectus, will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;



(k)permit any holder of Registrable Securities who, in its good faith judgment (based on the advice of counsel), could reasonably be expected to be deemed to be an underwriter or a controlling person of the Company to participate in the preparation of such registration or comparable statement and to require the insertion therein of material furnished to the Company in writing, which in the reasonable judgment of such holder and its counsel is required to be included by the applicable laws and regulations governing such registration or comparable statement;
(l)in the event of the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement, or of any order suspending or preventing the use of any related prospectus or suspending the qualification of any equity securities included in such registration statement for sale in any jurisdiction, the Company shall use its reasonable efforts promptly to obtain the withdrawal of such order;
(m)use its reasonable efforts to cause such Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the sellers thereof to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities as contemplated in the registration statement;
(n)if such registration includes an underwritten public offering, use its reasonable efforts to obtain a cold comfort letter from the Company’s independent public accountants and addressed to the underwriters, in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by cold comfort letters, as the underwriters in such registration reasonably request; and
(o)use its reasonable efforts to cause the Company’s outside counsel to provide a legal opinion, dated the effective date of such registration statement (and, if such registration includes an underwritten public offering, dated the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement), with respect to the registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the prospectus included therein (including the preliminary prospectus) and such other documents relating thereto in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by legal opinions of such nature.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 1, the Company shall be entitled to postpone or suspend, for a reasonable period of time, the filing, effectiveness or use of, or trading under, any registration statement if the Company shall determine that any such filing or the sale of any securities pursuant to such registration statement would in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company:
(i)materially impede, delay or interfere with any material pending or proposed financing, acquisition, corporate reorganization or other similar transaction involving the Company for which the Board of Directors of the Company has authorized negotiations;
(ii)materially adversely impair the consummation of any pending or proposed material offering or sale of any class of securities by the Company; or



(iii)require disclosure of material nonpublic information that, if disclosed at such time, would be materially harmful to the interests of the Company and its stockholders; provided, however, that during any such period all executive officers and directors of the Company are also prohibited from selling securities of the Company (or any security of any of the Company’s subsidiaries or affiliates).
In the event of the suspension of effectiveness of any registration statement pursuant to this Section 1.5, the applicable time period during which such registration statement is to remain effective shall be extended by that number of days equal to the number of days the effectiveness of such registration statement was suspended.
1.6Information from Holder. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 1 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 reasonably required to effect the registration of such Holder’s Registrable Securities.
1.7Expenses of Registration. All expenses other than underwriting discounts and commissions incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Sections 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4, including, without limitation, all registration, filing and qualification fees, printers’ and accounting fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel for the selling Holders chosen by holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such registration (not to exceed $30,000) shall be borne by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 1.2 or Section 1.4 if the registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered (in which case all participating Holders shall bear such expenses pro rata based upon the number of Registrable Securities that were to be included in the withdrawn registration), unless, in the case of a registration requested under Section 1.2, the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities agree to forfeit their right to one demand registration pursuant to Section 1.2 and provided, however, that if at the time of such withdrawal, the Holders have learned of a material adverse change in the condition or business of the Company from that known to the Holders at the time of their request and have withdrawn the request with reasonable promptness following disclosure by the Company of such material adverse change, then the Holders shall not be required to pay any of such expenses and shall retain their rights pursuant to Sections 1.2 and 1.4. To the extent any expenses relating to a registration hereunder are not required to be paid by the Company, each holder of securities included in any registration hereunder shall pay those expenses allocable to the registration of such holder's securities so included, and any expenses not so allocable shall be borne by all sellers of securities included in such registration in proportion to the aggregate selling price of the securities so registered.
1.8Delay 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 1.



1.9Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under this Section 1:
(a)To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the partners, members, officers, directors and stockholders of each Holder, legal counsel and accountants for each Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Act) for such Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Act or the 1934 Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Act, the 1934 Act, any state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Act, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) 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, final prospectus, or Free Writing Prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, any issuer information (as defined in Rule 433 of the Act) filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act or any other document incident to such registration prepared by or on behalf of the Company or used or referred to by the Company, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in such registration statement 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 Act, the 1934 Act, any state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Act, the 1934 Act or any state securities laws, and the Company will reimburse each such Holder, underwriter, controlling person or other aforementioned person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection l.9(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, conditioned or delayed), 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 that occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by any such Holder, underwriter, controlling person or other aforementioned person.
(b)To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder, severally and not jointly, 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 Act, legal counsel and accountants for the Company, any underwriter, any other Holder selling securities in such registration statement and any 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 Act, the 1934 Act, any state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Act, the 1934 Act or any state securities laws, 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 reimburse any person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this subsection l.9(b) for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such person in



connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection l.9(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, conditioned or delayed), and provided that the obligation to indemnify under this subsection 1.9(b) shall be individual, not joint and several, and in no event shall any indemnity under this subsection l.9(b) exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.
(c)Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 1.9 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action) for which a party may be entitled to indemnification, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 1.9, 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 (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one (1) separate 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 prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 1.9, but the omission to so 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 1.9. No indemnifying party, in the defense of such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.
(d)If the indemnification provided for in this Section 1.9 are unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, 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 the indemnified party on the other hand 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, however, that (i) no contribution by any Holder, when combined with any amounts paid by such Holder pursuant to Section 1.9(b), shall exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder and (ii) no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation; and provided further that in no event shall a Holder’s liability pursuant to this Section 1.9(d), when combined with the amounts paid or payable by such Holder pursuant to Section 1.9(b), exceed the proceeds from the offering



received by such Holder (net of any expenses paid by such Holder). The relative fault of the indemnifying party and 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 or alleged 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.
(f)The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 1.9 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement under this Section 1 and otherwise.
1.10Reports Under the 1934 Act. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 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 Rule 144, at all times after the effective date of the Initial Offering;
(b)file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Act and the 1934 Act; and
(c)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 Rule 144 (at any time after ninety (90) days after the effective date of the first registration statement filed by the Company), the Act and the 1934 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 to avail any Holder of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such securities without registration or pursuant to such form.
1.11Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 1 may be assigned (but only with all related obligations) by a Holder to (a) any subsidiary, parent, partner, retired partner, member, retired member or Affiliate of a Holder that is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company or (b) a transferee or assignee of such securities that after such assignment or transfer, holds at least 30,000,000 shares of Registrable Securities (appropriately adjusted for any stock split, dividend, combination or other recapitalization), provided: (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; (ii) such transferee or assignee agrees in writing to be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 1.13 below; and (iii) such assignment shall be effective only if immediately following such transfer the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under the Act.
1.12Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. The Company represents and warrants that it is not a party to, or otherwise subject to, any other agreement granting registration rights to any other person with respect to securities of the Company. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities then held by all Holders (which majority must include a majority of Registrable Securities issued or issuable upon conversion of (i) the Series B Preferred Stock and (ii) the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding), enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company that would allow such holder or prospective holder (a) to include any of such securities in any registration filed under Section 1.2, Section 1.3 or Section 1.4 hereof, unless under the terms of such agreement, such holder or prospective holder may include such securities in any such registration only to the extent that the inclusion of such securities will not reduce the amount of the Registrable Securities of the Holders that are included or (b) to demand registration of their securities.
1.13“Market Stand-Off” Agreement.
(a)Each Holder hereby agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the managing underwriter, during the period commencing on the date of the final prospectus relating to the Company’s Initial Offering and ending on the date specified by the Company and the managing underwriter (such period not to exceed one hundred eighty (l80) days) (i) lend, 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 convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock held immediately before the effective date of the registration statement for such offering, or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing provisions of this Section 1.13 shall apply only to the Company’s initial offering of equity securities, and shall not apply to the sale of any shares to an underwriter pursuant to an underwriting agreement. The underwriters in connection with the Company’s Initial Offering are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 1.13 and shall have the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto. Each Holder further agrees to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by the underwriters in the Company’s Initial Offering that are consistent with this Section 1.13 or that are necessary to give further effect thereto. Any discretionary waiver or termination of the restrictions of any or all of such agreements by the Company or the underwriters shall apply to all Holders subject to such agreements pro rata based on the number of shares subject to such agreements.



In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Registrable Securities of each Holder (and the shares or securities of every other person subject to the foregoing restriction) until the end of such period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) during the last seventeen (17) days of the one hundred eighty (180)-day restricted period, the Company issues an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs; or (ii) prior to the expiration of the one hundred eighty (180)-day restricted period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the sixteen (16)-day period beginning on the last day of the one hundred eighty (180)-day period, the restrictions imposed by this Section 1.13 shall continue to apply until the expiration of the eighteen (18)-day period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or material event.
(b)Each Holder agrees that a legend reading substantially as follows shall be placed on all certificates representing all Registrable Securities of each Holder (and the shares or securities of every other person subject to the restriction contained in this Section 1.13):
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO A LOCK-UP PERIOD AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE ISSUER’S REGISTRATION STATEMENT FILED UNDER THE ACT, AS AMENDED, AS SET FORTH IN AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE ORIGINAL HOLDER OF THESE SECURITIES, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED AT THE ISSUER’S PRINCIPAL OFFICE. SUCH LOCK-UP PERIOD IS BINDING ON TRANSFEREES OF THESE SHARES.
1.14Termination of Registration Rights. No Holder shall be entitled to exercise any right provided for in this Section 1 (a) after five (5) years following the consummation of the Initial Offering, (b) as to any Holder, such earlier time after the Initial Offering at which such Holder holds less than one percent (1%) of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock and all Registrable Securities held by such Holder (together with any Affiliate of the Holder with whom such Holder must aggregate its sales under Rule 144) could be sold during a three-month period without registration in compliance with Rule 144 or (c) after the consummation of a Liquidation Event, as that term is defined in the Restated Certificate.
2.Covenants of the Company.
2.1Delivery of Financial Statements. The Company shall, upon request, deliver to each Investor (or transferee of an Investor) that holds (together with their respective Affiliates) at least 30,000,000 shares of Registrable Securities (as adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend, combination, or other recapitalization or reclassifcation effected after the date hereof) (a “Major Investor”):
(a)as soon as practicable, but in any event within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, an income statement for such fiscal year, a balance sheet of the Company and statement of stockholders’ equity as of the end of such year, and a statement of cash flows for such year, such year-end financial reports to be in



reasonable detail, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and audited by an accounting firm selected by the Board of Directors;
(b)as soon as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) days after the end of each of the first three quarters of each fiscal year of the Company, unaudited statements of income and cash flows for such fiscal quarter, and an unaudited balance sheet and total headcount as of the end of such fiscal quarter with monthly detail, all prepared in accordance with GAAP (except that such financial statements may (i) be subject to normal year- end audit adjustments; and (ii) not contain all notes thereto that may be required in accordance with GAAP);
(c)as soon as reasonably practicable, following a written request therefor, a statement showing the number of shares of each class and series of capital stock and securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of capital stock outstanding as of a particular date of determination selected by the requesting Major Investor (or, if not specified, the date of the request), the Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of any outstanding securities convertible or exercisable for Common Stock and the exchange ratio or exercise price applicable thereto, the number of shares of issued stock options and stock options not yet issued but reserved for issuance, if any, and a list of the Company’s outstanding convertible debt securities (which shall include the face amount, issue date, maturity date, interest rate, conversion discount, change of control premium and valuation cap to the extent applicable), all in sufficient detail as to permit the Major Investors to calculate their respective percentage equity ownership in the Company; and
(d)as soon as reasonably practicable, following a written request therefor, together with a statement providing the purpose for any such request, such other information relating to the financial condition, business or corporate affairs of the Company as the Major Investor may from time to time reasonably request; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated under this subsection (d) or any other subsection of Section 2.1 to provide information that (i) it deems in good faith to be a trade secret or similar confidential information or (ii) the disclosure of which would adversely affect the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel; and provided, further, that if the Board of Directors has determined, reasonably and in good faith, that a Major Investor is a competitor of the Company, the Company shall not be obligated under this subsection (d) to provide such Major Investor competitive business or product information of the Company.
If, for any period, the Company has any subsidiary whose accounts are consolidated with those of the Company, then in respect of such period the financial statements delivered pursuant to the foregoing sections shall be the consolidated and consolidating financial statements of the Company and all such consolidated subsidiaries.
2.2Inspection. The Company shall permit each Major Investor, at such Major Investor’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, all at such reasonable times as may be requested by the Major Investor; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to this Section 2.2 to provide access to any information that it reasonably considers to be a trade secret or similar confidential



information; and provided, further, that if the Board of Directors has determined, reasonably and in good faith, that a Major Investor is a competitor of the Company, the Company shall not be obligated under this Section 2.2 to provide such Major Investor access to competitive business or product information of the Company.
2.3Termination of Information and Inspection Covenants. The covenants set forth in Sections 2.1 and 2.2 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the earlier to occur of (a) the consummation of the sale of securities pursuant to a registration statement filed by the Company under the Act in connection with the firm commitment underwritten offering of its securities to the general public, (b) when the Company first becomes subject to the periodic reporting requirements of Sections 12(g) or 15(d) of the 1934 Act, whichever event shall first occur or (c) the consummation of a Liquidation Event, as that term is defined in the Restated Certificate, pursuant to which the Investors receive only cash and/or marketable securities.
2.4Right of First Offer. Subject to the terms and conditions specified in this Section 2.4, the Company hereby grants to each Major Investor a right of first offer with respect to future sales by the Company of its Shares (as hereinafter defined). For purposes of this Section 2.4, the term “Major Investor” includes any partners and affiliates of a Major Investor. A Major Investor shall be entitled to apportion the right of first offer hereby granted it among itself and its partners and Affiliates in such proportions as it deems appropriate.
Each time the Company proposes to offer any shares of, or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any shares of, its capital stock (“Shares”), the Company shall first make an offering of such Shares to each Major Investor in accordance with the following provisions:
(a)The Company shall deliver a notice in accordance with Section 3.5 (“Notice”) to the Major Investors stating (i) its bona fide intention to offer such Shares, (ii) the number of such Shares to be offered and (iii) the price and terms upon which it proposes to offer such Shares.
(b)By written notification received by the Company within ten (10) calendar days after the giving of Notice, each Major Investor may elect to purchase, at the price and on the terms specified in the Notice, up to that portion of such Shares that equals the proportion that the number of shares of Common Stock issued and held by such Major Investor (assuming full conversion and exercise of all convertible and exercisable securities then outstanding) bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock of the Company then outstanding (assuming full conversion and exercise of all convertible and exercisable securities then outstanding). The Company shall promptly, in writing, inform each Major Investor that elects to purchase all the shares available to it (a “Fully-Exercising Investor”) of any other Major Investor’s failure to do likewise. During the ten (10) day period commencing after such information is given, each Fully-Exercising Investor may elect to purchase that portion of the Shares for which Major Investors were entitled to subscribe, but which were not subscribed for by the Major Investors, that is equal to the proportion that the number of shares of Common Stock issued and held by such Fully-Exercising Investor (assuming full conversion and exercise of all convertible and exercisable securities then outstanding) bears to the total number of shares



of Common Stock issued and held by all Fully-Exercising Investors who wish to purchase some of the unsubscribed shares (assuming full conversion and exercise of all convertible and exercisable securities then outstanding).
(c)If all Shares that Major Investors are entitled to obtain pursuant to subsection 2.4(b) are not elected to be obtained as provided in subsection 2.4(b) hereof, the Company may, during the ninety (90) day period following the expiration of the period provided in subsection 2.4(b) hereof, offer the remaining unsubscribed portion of such Shares to any person or persons at a price not less than that, and upon terms no more favorable to the offeree than those, specified in the Notice. If the Company does not enter into an agreement for the sale of the Shares within such period, or if such agreement is not consummated within sixty (60) days of the execution thereof, the right provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and such Shares shall not be offered unless first reoffered to the Major Investors in accordance herewith.
(d)The right of first offer in this Section 2.4 shall not be applicable to (i) the issuance or sale of shares of Series B-3 Preferred Stock or Series B-5 Preferred Stock pursuant to and in accordance with the Series B-3 & B-5 Agreement and (ii) Exempted Securities (as such term is defined in the Restated Certificate). In addition to the foregoing, the right of first offer in this Section 2.4 shall not be applicable with respect to any Major Investor in any subsequent offering of Shares if (i) at the time of such offering, the Major Investor is not an “accredited investor,” as that term is then defined in Rule 501(a) of the Act and (ii) such offering of Shares is otherwise being offered only to accredited investors.
(e)The rights provided in this Section 2.4 may not be assigned or transferred by any Major Investor; provided, however, that a Major Investor that is a venture capital fund may assign or transfer such rights to its Affiliates.
(f)The covenants set forth in this Section 2.4 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the earlier to occur of the consummation of (i) a Qualified Public Offering, as that term is defined in the Restated Certificate, or (ii) a Liquidation Event, as that term is defined in the Restated Certificate.
2.5Indemnification Matters. The Company hereby acknowledges that one (1) or more of the directors nominated to serve on the Board of Directors by the Investors (each a “Fund Director”) may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by one or more of the Investors and certain of their affiliates (collectively, the “Fund Indemnitors”). The Company hereby agrees (a) that it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to any such Fund Director are primary and any obligation of the Fund Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by such Fund Director are secondary), (b) that it shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by such Fund Director and shall be liable for the full amount of all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement by or on behalf of any such Fund Director to the extent legally permitted and as required by the Restated Certificate or Bylaws of the Company (or any agreement between the Company and such Fund Director), without regard to any rights such Fund Director may have against the Fund Indemnitors, and, (c) that it irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Fund Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Fund Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other



recovery of any kind in respect thereof. The Company further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Fund Indemnitors on behalf of any such Fund Director with respect to any claim for which such Fund Director has sought indemnification from the Company shall affect the foregoing and the Fund Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of such Fund Director against the Company.
2.6Confidentiality. Each Investor agrees, severally and not jointly, to use the same degree of care as such Investor uses to protect its own confidential information for any information obtained pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2 hereof which the Company identifies in writing as being proprietary or confidential and such Investor acknowledges that it will not, unless otherwise required by law or the rules of any national securities exchange, association or marketplace, disclose such information without the prior written consent of the Company except such information that (a) was in the public domain prior to the time it was furnished to such Investor, (b) is or becomes (through no willful improper action or inaction by such Investor) generally available to the public, (c) was in its possession or known by such Investor without restriction prior to receipt from the Company, (d) was rightfully disclosed to such Investor by a third party without restriction or (e) was independently developed without any use of the Company’s confidential information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Investor that is a limited partnership or limited liability company may disclose such proprietary or confidential information to any former partners or members who retained an economic interest in such Investor, current or prospective partner of the partnership or any subsequent partnership under common investment management, limited partner, general partner, member or management company of such Investor (or any employee or representative of any of the foregoing) (each of the foregoing persons, a “Permitted Disclosee”) or legal counsel, accountants or representatives for such Investor. Furthermore, nothing contained herein shall prevent any Investor or any Permitted Disclosee from (i) entering into any business, entering into any agreement with a third party, or investing in or engaging in investment discussions with any other company (whether or not competitive with the Company), provided that such Investor or Permitted Disclosee does not, except as permitted in accordance with this Section 2.6, disclose or otherwise make use of any proprietary or confidential information of the Company in connection with such activities, or (ii) making any disclosures required by law, rule, regulation or court or other governmental order.
2.7D&O Insurance. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain directors and officers liability insurance (which shall include any Affiliates of such director or officer), in customary amount and scope reasonably satisfactory to the Board of Directors, including all of the Series B Preferred Directors. Such insurance shall be maintained for so long as Accel Growth Fund II L.P. and its Affiliates (“Accel”) and/or Sequoia Capital U.S. Growth Fund V, L.P. and its Affiliates (“Sequoia”) and/or Insight Venture Partners VIII, L.P. and its Affiliates (collectively, “Insight”) has the right to designate at least one member of the Company’s Board of Directors.
2.8Directors’ Liability and Indemnification. The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws shall provide (a) for elimination of the liability of directors to the maximum extent permitted by law and (b) for indemnification of directors for acts on behalf of the Company to the maximum extent permitted by law. In addition, the Company shall enter



into and use its best efforts to at all times maintain indemnification agreements with each of its directors to indemnify such directors to the maximum extent permissible under applicable law.
2.9Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement. The Company shall require all employees and consultants to execute and deliver a Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement substantially in a form approved by the Company's counsel or Board of Directors.
2.10Board Matters. Unless otherwise determined by the vote of a majority of the directors then in office, the Board of Directors shall meet at least twice per year in accordance with an agreed-upon schedule. The Company shall reimburse the non-employee directors for all reasonable out-of-pocket travel expenses incurred (consistent with the Company’s travel policy) in connection with attending meetings of the Board of Directors. Each director shall be entitled in such person’s discretion to be a member of any committee of the Board of Directors.
2.11Observer Rights. As long as Stuart Orgill owns at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the shares (appropriately adjusted for any stock split, dividend, combination or other recapitalization) of Series A Preferred Stock (or an equivalent amount of Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof) held by him as of the date hereof (taking into consideration the effect of that certain Stock Transfer Agreement dated as of March 31, 2017 by and among the Company, Mooo LLC and Grandview Holdings, LLC) and is no longer a member of the Board of Directors, the Company shall invite Mr. Orgill to attend all meetings of its Board of Directors in a nonvoting observer capacity and, in this respect, shall give Mr. Orgill copies of all notices, minutes, consents and other materials that it provides to its directors; provided, however, that Mr. Orgill shall agree to hold in confidence and trust and to act in a fiduciary manner with respect to all information so provided; and, provided further, that the Company reserves the right to withhold any information and to exclude Mr. Orgill from any meeting or portion thereof if access to such information or attendance at such meeting could adversely affect the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel or would result in disclosure of trade secrets to Mr. Orgill or if Mr. Orgill is or is affiliated with a direct competitor of the Company. The covenants set forth in this Section 2.11 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the earlier to occur of the consummation of (i) a Qualified Public Offering, as that term is defined in the Restated Certificate, or (ii) a Liquidation Event, as that term is defined in the Restated Certificate.
2.12Director Resignation. On or before June 30, 2017, an Advisor Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A shall be executed by the parties thereto.

Any term of this Agreement (other than Section 2.1, Section 2.2, Section 2.3 and Section 2.4) 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 Investors holding a majority of the Registrable Securities; provided, however, that any amendment or waiver of (x) the last sentence of Section 2.7 shall also require the consent of Accel, Sequoia and Insight for so long as each has the right to designate at least one member of the Company’s Board of Directors and (y) Section 2.8 shall also require the unanimous written consent of the Board of Directors.

3.13Competition. The Company acknowledges that the Investors and their affiliates, members, equity holders, director representatives, partners, employees, agents and other related persons (each, a “Covered Person”) are engaged in the business of investing in private and public companies in a wide range of industries, including the industry segment in which the Company operates (the “Company Industry Segment”). Accordingly, the Company and the Investors hereby acknowledge and agree that a Covered Person shall:
(a)have no obligation or duty (contractual or otherwise) to the Company to refrain from participating as a director, investor or otherwise with respect to any company or other person or entity that is engaged in the Company Industry Segment or is otherwise competitive with the Company, and



(b)in connection with making investment decisions, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have no obligation or duty (contractual or otherwise) to the Company to refrain from using any information, including, but not limited to, market trend and market data, which comes into such Covered Person’s possession, whether as a director or, or investor in, the Company or otherwise, except to the extent expressly set forth in this Agreement, including without limitation, Section 2.6 hereof.
3.14Investment Opportunities and Conflicts of Interest. The Holders expressly acknowledge and agree that, subject to the provisions of Section 2.6, (i) each Holder and their Affiliates are permitted to have, and may presently or in the future have, investments or other business relationships with entities engaged in the business of the Company and its subsidiaries other than through the Company or any of its subsidiaries, as long as such investments or other business relationships were not first offered or presented to any applicable member of the Board of Directors in his or her capacity as a director of the Company, unless such investments or other business relationships were declined by the Company or any of its subsidiaries (an “Other Business”), (ii) each Holder and their Affiliates have and may develop a strategic relationship with businesses that are and may be competitive or complementary with the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (iii) none of the Holders or their Affiliates will be prohibited by virtue of their investments in the Company or its subsidiaries or their service on the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ board of managers or directors from pursuing and engaging in any such activities, (iv) none of the Holders or their Affiliates will be obligated to inform or present the Company or its subsidiaries or the Board of Directors of any such opportunity, relationship or investment, (v) the other Holders will not acquire or be entitled to any interest or participation in any Other Business as a result of the participation therein of any of the Holders or their Affiliates, and (vi) the involvement of the Holders or their Affiliates in any Other Business will not constitute a conflict of interest by such Persons with respect to the Company or its Holders or any of the Company’s subsidiaries. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that any of the members of the Board of Directors acquires knowledge of an Excluded Opportunity that may be an opportunity for both the Company and such director or the Holders or their Affiliates, the Company renounces any interest or expectancy that such director or Holders offer an opportunity to participate in, or in being informed about, such Excluded Opportunity. An “Excluded Opportunity” is any matter, transaction or interest that is presented to, or acquired, created or developed by, or which otherwise comes into the possession of any director, so long as such matter, transaction or interest is presented to, or acquired, created or developed by, or otherwise comes into the possession of, such director in such director’s capacity as a partner, member, director, stockholder, employee, agent or other related person of a Holder or its Affiliates or otherwise in a manner unrelated to such director’s service to the Company.

Exhibit 10.1

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
This Indemnification Agreement (“Agreement”) is made as of ________________ by and between Qualtrics International Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and ____________ (“Indemnitee”).
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Company desires to attract and retain the services of highly qualified individuals, such as Indemnitee, to serve the Company;
WHEREAS, in order to induce Indemnitee to provide or continue to provide services to the Company, the Company wishes to provide for the indemnification of, and advancement of expenses to, Indemnitee to the maximum extent permitted by law;
WHEREAS, the Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”) and the Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) of the Company require indemnification of the officers and directors of the Company, and Indemnitee may also be entitled to indemnification pursuant to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”);
WHEREAS, the Charter, the Bylaws and the DGCL expressly provide that the indemnification provisions set forth therein are not exclusive, and thereby contemplate that contracts may be entered into between the Company and members of the board of directors, officers and other persons with respect to indemnification;
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that the increased difficulty in attracting and retaining highly qualified persons such as Indemnitee is detrimental to the best interests of the Company’s stockholders;
WHEREAS, it is reasonable and prudent for the Company contractually to obligate itself to indemnify, and to advance expenses on behalf of, such persons to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, regardless of any amendment or revocation of the Charter or the Bylaws, so that they will serve or continue to serve the Company free from undue concern that they will not be so indemnified; [and]
WHEREAS, this Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the indemnification provided in the Charter, the Bylaws and any resolutions adopted pursuant thereto, and shall not be deemed a substitute therefor, nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder; [and]
[WHEREAS, Indemnitee has certain rights to indemnification and/or insurance provided by [Name of Fund/Sponsor] which Indemnitee and [Name of Fund/Sponsor] intend to be secondary to the primary obligation of the Company to indemnify Indemnitee as provided in this Agreement, with the Company’s acknowledgment and agreement to the foregoing being a material condition to Indemnitee’s willingness to serve or continue to serve on the Board.]
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants contained herein, the Company and Indemnitee do hereby covenant and agree as follows:

1


Section 1.    Services to the Company. Indemnitee agrees to serve as [a director] [an officer] of the Company. Indemnitee may at any time and for any reason resign from such position (subject to any other contractual obligation or any obligation imposed by law), in which event the Company shall have no obligation under this Agreement to continue Indemnitee in such position. This Agreement shall not be deemed an employment contract between the Company (or any of its subsidiaries or any Enterprise) and Indemnitee.
Section 2.    Definitions.
As used in this Agreement:
(a)    “Change in Control” shall mean (i) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company on a consolidated basis to an unrelated person or entity, (ii) a merger, reorganization or consolidation pursuant to which the holders of the Company’s outstanding voting power and outstanding stock immediately prior to such transaction do not own a majority of the outstanding voting power and outstanding stock or other equity interests of the resulting or successor entity (or its ultimate parent, if applicable) immediately upon completion of such transaction, (iii) the sale of all of the Stock of the Company to an unrelated person, entity or group thereof acting in concert, or (iv) any other transaction in which the owners of the Company’s outstanding voting power immediately prior to such transaction do not own at least a majority of the outstanding voting power of the Company or any successor entity immediately upon completion of the transaction other than as a result of the acquisition of securities directly from the Company.
(b)    “Corporate Status” describes the status of a person as a current or former [director] [officer] of the Company or current or former director, manager, partner, officer, employee, agent or trustee of any other Enterprise which such person is or was serving at the request of the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, references to “serving at the request of the Company” shall include, but not be limited to, any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or any other entity 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, including as a deemed fiduciary thereto.
(c)    “Enforcement Expenses” shall include all reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, transcript costs, fees of experts, travel expenses, duplicating costs, printing and binding costs, telephone charges, postage, delivery service fees, and all other out-of-pocket disbursements or expenses of the types customarily incurred in connection with an action to enforce indemnification or advancement rights, or an appeal from such action. Expenses, however, shall not include fees, salaries, wages or benefits owed to Indemnitee.
(d)    “Enterprise” shall mean any corporation (other than the Company), partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan, limited liability company, or other legal entity of which Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, manager, partner, officer, employee, agent or trustee, including without limitation, any subsidiary of the Company.

2


(e)    “Expenses” shall include all reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, transcript costs, fees of experts, travel expenses, duplicating costs, printing and binding costs, telephone charges, postage, delivery service fees, and all other out-of-pocket disbursements or expenses of the types customarily incurred in connection with prosecuting, defending, preparing to prosecute or defend, investigating, being or preparing to be a witness in, or otherwise participating in, a Proceeding or an appeal resulting from a Proceeding. Expenses, however, shall not include amounts paid in settlement by Indemnitee, the amount of judgments or fines against Indemnitee or fees, salaries, wages or benefits owed to Indemnitee.
(f)    “Independent Counsel” means a law firm, or a partner (or, if applicable, member or shareholder) of such a law firm, that is experienced in matters of Delaware corporation law and neither presently is, nor in the past five (5) years has been, retained to represent: (i) the Company, any subsidiary of the Company, any Enterprise or Indemnitee in any matter material to any such party; or (ii) any other party to the Proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Independent Counsel” shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Company or Indemnitee in an action to determine Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement. The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of the Independent Counsel referred to above and to fully indemnify such counsel against any and all expenses, claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its engagement pursuant hereto.
(g)    The term “Proceeding” shall include any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, arbitration, alternate dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, inquiry, administrative hearing or any other actual, threatened or completed proceeding, whether brought in the right of the Company or otherwise and whether of a civil, criminal, administrative, regulatory or investigative nature, and whether formal or informal, in which Indemnitee was, is or will be involved as a party or otherwise by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was [a director] [an officer] of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, manager, partner, officer, employee, agent or trustee of any Enterprise or by reason of any action taken by Indemnitee or of any action taken on his or her part while acting as [a director] [an officer] of the Company or while serving at the request of the Company as a director, manager, partner, officer, employee, agent or trustee of any Enterprise, in each case whether or not serving in such capacity at the time any liability or expense is incurred for which indemnification, reimbursement or advancement of expenses can be provided under this Agreement; provided, however, that the term “Proceeding” shall not include any action, suit or arbitration, or part thereof, initiated by Indemnitee to enforce Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement as provided for in Section 12(a) of this Agreement.
Section 3.    Indemnity in Third-Party Proceedings. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to the extent set forth in this Section 3 if Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant in any Proceeding, other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor. Pursuant to this Section 3, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties, excise taxes, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on his or her behalf in connection with such

3


Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
Section 4.    Indemnity in Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to the extent set forth in this Section 4 if Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant in any Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor. Pursuant to this Section 4, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on his or her behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company. No indemnification for Expenses shall be made under this Section 4 in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which Indemnitee shall have been finally adjudged by a court to be liable to the Company, unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery (the “Delaware Court”) shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such expenses as the Delaware Court shall deem proper.
Section 5.    Indemnification for Expenses of a Party Who is Wholly or Partly Successful. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement and except as provided in Section 7, to the extent that Indemnitee is a party to or a participant in any Proceeding and is successful in such Proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding but is successful as to one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on his or her behalf in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. For purposes of this Section and without limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, motion for summary judgment, settlement (with or without court approval), or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue or matter.
Section 6.    Reimbursement for Expenses of a Witness or in Response to a Subpoena. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee, by reason of his or her Corporate Status, (i) is a witness in any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a party and is not threatened to be made a party or (ii) receives a subpoena with respect to any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a party and is not threatened to be made a party, the Company shall reimburse Indemnitee for all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her or on his or her behalf in connection therewith.
Section 7.    Exclusions. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not be obligated under this Agreement:
(a)    to indemnify for amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder (or for which advancement is provided hereunder) if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually

4


received such amounts under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise[; provided that the foregoing shall not affect the rights of Indemnitee or the Fund Indemnitors as set forth in Section 13(c)]; notwithstanding the foregoing, payment made to Indemnitee pursuant to a personal or independent director liability or similar insurance policy purchased and maintained by Indemnitee at his or her own expense of any amounts otherwise indemnifiable or obligated to be made pursuant to this Agreement shall not reduce the Company’s obligations to Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement.
(b)    to indemnify for an accounting of profits made from the purchase and sale (or sale and purchase) by Indemnitee of securities of the Company within the meaning of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or similar provisions of state statutory law or common law;
(c)     to indemnify for any reimbursement of, or payment to, the Company by Indemnitee of any bonus or other incentive-based or equity-based compensation or of any profits realized by Indemnitee from the sale of securities of the Company pursuant to any formal policy of the Company adopted by the Board (or a committee thereof), or any other remuneration paid to Indemnitee if it shall be determined by a final judgment or other final adjudication that such remuneration was in violation of law;
(d)    to indemnify with respect to any Proceeding, or part thereof, brought by Indemnitee against the Company, any legal entity which it controls, any director or officer thereof or any third party, unless (i) the Board has consented to the initiation of such Proceeding or part thereof and (ii) the Company provides the indemnification, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Company under applicable law; provided, however, that this Section 7(d) shall not apply to (A) counterclaims or affirmative defenses asserted by Indemnitee in an action brought against Indemnitee or (B) any action brought by Indemnitee for indemnification or advancement from the Company under this Agreement or under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company in the suit for which indemnification or advancement is being sought as described in Section 12; or
(e)    to provide any indemnification that is prohibited by applicable law (as such law exists at the time payment would otherwise be required pursuant to this Agreement).
Section 8.    Advancement of Expenses. Subject to Section 9(b), the Company shall advance, the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding, and such advancement shall be made within thirty (30) days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements requesting such advances (including any invoices received by Indemnitee, which such invoices may be redacted as necessary to avoid the waiver of any privilege accorded by applicable law) from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of any Proceeding. Advances shall be unsecured and interest free. Advances shall be made without regard to Indemnitee’s ability to repay the expenses and without regard to Indemnitee’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification under the other provisions of this Agreement. Indemnitee shall qualify for advances upon the execution and delivery to the Company of this Agreement which shall constitute an undertaking providing that Indemnitee undertakes to the fullest extent required by law to repay the advance if and to the extent that it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final

5


judgment, not subject to appeal, that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company. No other form of undertaking shall be required. The right to advances under this paragraph shall in all events continue until final disposition of any Proceeding, including any appeal therein. Nothing in this Section 8 shall limit Indemnitee’s right to advancement pursuant to Section 12(e) of this Agreement.
Section 9.    Procedure for Notification and Defense of Claim.
(a)    Indemnitee agrees to notify promptly the Company in writing of any claim made against Indemnitee for which indemnification will or could be sought under this Agreement; provided, however, that a delay in giving such notice will not deprive Indemnitee of any right to be indemnified under this Agreement unless, and then only to the extent that, the Company did not otherwise learn of the Proceeding and such delay is materially prejudicial to the Company’s ability to defend such Proceeding; and, provided, further, that notice will be deemed to have been given without any action on the part of Indemnitee in the event the Company is a party to the same Proceeding.
(b)    In the event that the Company shall be obligated hereunder to provide indemnification for or make any advancement of Expenses with respect to any Proceeding, the Company shall be entitled to assume the defense of such Proceeding, or any claim, issue or matter therein, with counsel approved by Indemnitee (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) upon the delivery to Indemnitee of written notice of the Company’s election to do so. After delivery of such notice, approval of such counsel by Indemnitee and the retention of such counsel by the Company, the Company will not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any fees or expenses of separate counsel subsequently employed by or on behalf of Indemnitee with respect to the same Proceeding; provided that (i) Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding at Indemnitee’s expense and (ii) if (A) the employment of separate counsel by Indemnitee has been previously authorized by the Company, (B) Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of such defense, or (C) the Company shall not continue to retain such counsel to defend such Proceeding, then the fees and expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee with respect to his or her separate counsel shall be Expenses hereunder. Indemnitee agrees that any such separate counsel will be a member of any approved list of panel counsel under the Company’s applicable directors’ and officers’ insurance policy, should the applicable policy provide for a panel of approved counsel.
(c)     In the event that the Company does not assume the defense in a Proceeding pursuant to paragraph (b) above, then the Company will be entitled to participate in the Proceeding at its own expense.
(d)     The Company shall not be liable to indemnify Indemnitee under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any Proceeding effected without its prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), enter into any settlement which (i) includes an admission of fault of Indemnitee, any non-monetary remedy imposed on Indemnitee or any monetary damages for which Indemnitee is

6


not wholly and actually indemnified hereunder or (ii) with respect to any Proceeding with respect to which Indemnitee may be or is made a party or may be otherwise entitled to seek indemnification hereunder, does not include the full release of Indemnitee from all liability in respect of such Proceeding.
Section 10.    Procedure Upon Application for Indemnification.
(a)    Upon written request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to Section 9(a), a determination, if such determination is required by applicable law, with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification hereunder shall be made in the specific case by one of the following methods: (x) if a Change in Control shall have occurred, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board; or (y) if a Change in Control shall not have occurred: (i) by a majority vote of the disinterested directors, even though less than a quorum; (ii) by a committee of disinterested directors designated by a majority vote of the disinterested directors, even though less than a quorum; or (iii) if there are no disinterested directors or if the disinterested directors so direct, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Board. For purposes hereof, disinterested directors are those members of the Board who are not parties to the action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification is sought. In the case that such determination is made by Independent Counsel, a copy of Independent Counsel’s written opinion shall be delivered to Indemnitee and, if it is so determined that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment to Indemnitee shall be made within thirty (30) days after such determination. Indemnitee shall cooperate with the Independent Counsel or the Company, as applicable, in making such determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such counsel or the Company, upon reasonable advance request, any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination. Any out-of-pocket costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the Independent Counsel or the Company shall be borne by the Company (irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification) and the Company hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom.
(b)    If the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 10(a), the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Board if a Change in Control shall not have occurred or, if a Change in Control shall have occurred, by Indemnitee. Indemnitee or the Company, as the case may be, may, within ten (10) days after written notice of such selection, deliver to the Company or Indemnitee, as the case may be, a written objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 2 of this Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. Absent a proper and timely objection, the person so selected shall act as Independent Counsel. If such written objection is so made and substantiated, the Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or the Delaware Court has determined that such objection is without merit. If, within twenty (20) days after the later of (i) submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 9(a), and (ii) the final disposition of the Proceeding, including

7


any appeal therein, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected without objection, either Indemnitee or the Company may petition the Delaware Court for resolution of any objection which shall have been made by Indemnitee or the Company to the selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by the court or by such other person as the court shall designate. The person with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 10(a) hereof. Upon the due commencement of any judicial proceeding or arbitration pursuant to Section 12(a) of this Agreement, Independent Counsel shall be discharged and relieved of any further responsibility in such capacity (subject to the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing).
Section 11.    Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings.
(a)    To the extent permitted by applicable law, in making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, it shall be presumed that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted a request for indemnification in accordance with Section 9(a) of this Agreement, and the Company shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in connection with the making of any determination contrary to that presumption.
(b)    The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of guilty, nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself adversely affect the right of Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
(c)    The knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any director, manager, partner, officer, employee, agent or trustee of the Company, any subsidiary of the Company, or any Enterprise shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement.
Section 12.    Remedies of Indemnitee.
(a)    Subject to Section 12(f), in the event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 10 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, (ii) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 8 of this Agreement, (iii) no determination of entitlement to indemnification shall have been made pursuant to Section 10(a) of this Agreement within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Company of the request for indemnification for which a determination is to be made other than by Independent Counsel, (iv) payment of indemnification or reimbursement of expenses is not made pursuant to Section 5 or 6 or the last sentence of Section 10(a) of this Agreement within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor (including any invoices received by Indemnitee, which such invoices may be redacted as necessary to avoid the waiver of any privilege accorded by applicable law) or (v) payment of indemnification pursuant to Section 3 or 4 of this Agreement is not made within thirty (30) days after a determination has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to

8


indemnification, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication by the Delaware Court of his or her entitlement to such indemnification or advancement. Alternatively, Indemnitee, at his or her option, may seek an award in arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Indemnitee shall commence such proceeding seeking an adjudication or an award in arbitration within 180 days following the date on which Indemnitee first has the right to commence such proceeding pursuant to this Section 12(a); provided, however, that the foregoing time limitation shall not apply in respect of a proceeding brought by Indemnitee to enforce his or her rights under Section 5 of this Agreement. The Company shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek any such adjudication or award in arbitration.
(b)    In the event that a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 10(a) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 12 shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial, or arbitration, on the merits and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of that adverse determination. In any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 12, the Company shall have the burden of proving Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advancement, as the case may be.
(c)     If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 10(a) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 12, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law.
(d)    The Company shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 12 that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court or before any such arbitrator that the Company is bound by all the provisions of this Agreement.
(e)    The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law against any and all Enforcement Expenses and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall (within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor) advance, to the extent not prohibited by law, such Enforcement Expenses to Indemnitee, which are incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any action brought by Indemnitee for indemnification or advancement from the Company under this Agreement or under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company in the suit for which indemnification or advancement is being sought. Such written request for advancement shall include invoices received by Indemnitee in connection with such Enforcement Expenses but, in the case of invoices in connection with legal services, any references to legal work performed or to expenditures made that would cause Indemnitee to waive any privilege accorded by applicable law need not be included with the invoice.
(f)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no determination as to entitlement to indemnification under this Agreement shall be required to be made prior to the final disposition of the Proceeding, including any appeal therein.

Section 13.    Non-exclusivity; Survival of Rights; Insurance; [Primacy of Indemnification;] Subrogation.
(a)    The rights of indemnification and to receive advancement as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the Charter, the Bylaws, any agreement, a vote of stockholders or a resolution of directors, or otherwise. No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in his or her Corporate Status prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal. To the extent that a change in Delaware law, whether by statute or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification or advancement than would be afforded currently under the Charter, Bylaws and this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change. No right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy.
(b)    To the extent that the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for directors, managers, partners, officers, employees, agents or trustees of the Company or of any other Enterprise, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies in accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any such director, manager, partner, officer, employee, agent or trustee under such policy or policies. If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of a claim pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company has director and officer liability insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies.
(c)    In the event of a Change of Control that would cause the Company’s directors and officers insurance polic(ies) to cease providing coverage for acts and events that take place after the Change of Control, the Company shall purchase for all “claims-made” insurance policies then maintained by the Company in providing insurance (directors’ and officers’ liability, fiduciary, employment practices or otherwise) in respect of the individual directors and officers of the Company, for a fixed period of six years thereafter (a “Tail Policy”). Such coverage shall be non-cancellable and shall be placed by the Company’s incumbent insurance broker. Such broker shall place the Tail policy with the incumbent insurance carriers using the policies that were in place at the time of the change of control event (unless the incumbent carriers will not offer such policies, in which case the Tail Policy placed by the Company’s insurance broker shall be substantially comparable in scope and amount as the expiring policies, and the insurance carriers for the Tail Policy shall have an AM Best rating that is the same or better than the AM Best ratings of the expiring policies).
(d)    [The Company hereby acknowledges that Indemnitee has certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by [Name of Fund/Sponsor]

10


and certain of [its][their] affiliates (collectively, the “Fund Indemnitors”). The Company hereby agrees (i) that it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to Indemnitee are primary and any obligation of the Fund Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by Indemnitee are secondary), (ii) that it shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by Indemnitee and shall be liable for the full amount of all Expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement to the extent legally permitted and as required by the terms of this Agreement and the Charter and/or Bylaws (or any other agreement between the Company and Indemnitee), without regard to any rights Indemnitee may have against the Fund Indemnitors, and (iii) that it irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Fund Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Fund Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. The Company further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Fund Indemnitors on behalf of Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which Indemnitee has sought indemnification from the Company shall affect the foregoing and the Fund Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee against the Company. The Company and Indemnitee agree that the Fund Indemnitors are express third party beneficiaries of the terms of this Section 13(d).]
[(e)][(f)]    [Except as provided in paragraph (d) above,] [I/i]n the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee [(other than against the Fund Indemnitors)], who shall execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights.
[(f)][(g)]    [Except as provided in paragraph (d) above,] [T/t]he Company’s obligation to provide indemnification or advancement hereunder to Indemnitee who is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, manager, partner, officer, employee, agent or trustee of any other Enterprise shall be reduced by any amount Indemnitee has actually received as indemnification or advancement from such other Enterprise.
Section 14.     Duration of Agreement. All agreements and obligations of the Company contained herein shall continue during the period Indemnitee serves as [a director] [an officer] of the Company or current or former director, manager, partner, officer, employee, agent or trustee of any other Enterprise which Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the Company and shall continue thereafter so long as Indemnitee shall be subject to any Proceeding (or any proceeding commenced under Section 12(a) hereof) by reason of his or her Corporate Status, whether or not he or she is acting or serving in any such capacity at the time any liability or expense is incurred for which indemnification or advancement can be provided under this Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee and his or her heirs, executors and administrators. The Company shall require and cause any successor (whether direct or indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all, substantially all or a substantial part, of the business and/or assets of the Company, by written agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement to the fullest extent permitted by law, but in no event to any lesser extent than the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.

11


Section 15.    Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law; (b) such provision or provisions shall be deemed reformed to the extent necessary to conform to applicable law and to give the maximum effect to the intent of the parties hereto; and (c) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested thereby.
Section 16.    Enforcement.
(a)    The Company expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement and assumed the obligations imposed on it hereby in order to induce Indemnitee to [serve or] continue to serve as [a director] [an officer] of the Company, and the Company acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement in serving as [a director] [an officer] of the Company.
(b)    This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral, written and implied, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided, however, that this Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the Charter, the Bylaws and applicable law, and shall not be deemed a substitute therefor, nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder.
Section 17.    Modification and Waiver. No supplement, modification or amendment, or waiver of any provision, of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the parties thereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions of this Agreement nor shall any waiver constitute a continuing waiver. No supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee prior to such supplement, modification or amendment.
Section 18.    Notice by Indemnitee. Indemnitee agrees promptly to notify the Company in writing upon being served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information or other document relating to any Proceeding or matter which may be subject to indemnification, reimbursement or advancement as provided hereunder. The failure of Indemnitee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of any obligation which it may have to Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise.
Section 19.    Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if (i) delivered by hand and receipted for by the party to whom said notice or other communication shall have been

12


directed, (ii) mailed by certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, on the third business day after the date on which it is so mailed, (iii) mailed by reputable overnight courier and receipted for by the party to whom said notice or other communication shall have been directed or (iv) sent by facsimile transmission, with receipt of oral confirmation that such transmission has been received:

(b)    If to the Company to:
Qualtrics International Inc.
333 West River Park Drive
Provo, UT 84604
Attention: Director and Head of Legal
or to any other address as may have been furnished to Indemnitee by the Company.
Section 20.    Contribution. To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, if the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is unavailable to Indemnitee for any reason whatsoever, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount incurred by Indemnitee, whether for judgments, fines, penalties, excise taxes, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement and/or for Expenses, in connection with any Proceeding in such proportion as is deemed fair and reasonable in light of all of the circumstances in order to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Company and Indemnitee in connection with the event(s) and/or transaction(s) giving rise to such Proceeding; and/or (ii) the relative fault of the Company (and its directors, officers, employees and agents) and Indemnitee in connection with such event(s) and/or transactions.
Section 21.    Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. The Company intends for this Agreement to comply with the Indemnification exception under Section 1.409A-1(b)(10) of the regulations promulgated under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), which provides that indemnification of, or the purchase of an insurance policy providing for payments of, all or part of the expenses incurred or damages paid or payable by Indemnitee with respect to a bona fide claim against Indemnitee or the Company do not provide for a deferral of compensation, subject to Section 409A of the Code, where such claim is based on actions or failures to act by Indemnitee in his or her capacity as a service provider of the Company. The parties intend that this Agreement be interpreted and construed with such intent.
Section 22.    Applicable Law and Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement and the legal relations among the parties shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Except with respect to any arbitration commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 12(a) of this Agreement, the Company and Indemnitee hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agree that any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be brought only in the Delaware Court, and not in any other state or federal court in the United States of America or any court in any other country, (ii) consent to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court for purposes of any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, (iii)

13


consent to service of process at the address set forth in Section 19 of this Agreement with the same legal force and validity as if served upon such party personally within the State of Delaware, (iv) waive any objection to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in the Delaware Court, and (v) waive, and agree not to plead or to make, any claim that any such action or proceeding brought in the Delaware Court has been brought in an improper or inconvenient forum.
Section 23.    Headings. The headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute part of this Agreement or to affect the construction thereof.
Section 24.    Identical Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. Only one such counterpart signed by the party against whom enforceability is sought needs to be produced to evidence the existence of this Agreement.
Section 25.    Monetary Damages Insufficient/Specific Enforcement. The Company and Indemnitee agree that a monetary remedy for breach of this Agreement may be inadequate, impracticable and difficult of proof, and further agree that such breach may cause Indemnitee irreparable harm. Accordingly, the parties hereto agree that Indemnitee may enforce this Agreement by seeking injunctive relief and/or specific performance hereof, without any necessity of showing actual damage or irreparable harm (having agreed that actual and irreparable harm will result in not forcing the Company to specifically perform its obligations pursuant to this Agreement) and that by seeking injunctive relief and/or specific performance, Indemnitee shall not be precluded from seeking or obtaining any other relief to which he may be entitled. The Company and Indemnitee further agree that Indemnitee shall be entitled to such specific performance and injunctive relief, including temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions and permanent injunctions, without the necessity of posting bonds or other undertaking in connection therewith. The Company acknowledges that in the absence of a waiver, a bond or undertaking may be required of Indemnitee by the Court, and the Company hereby waives any such requirement of a bond or undertaking.

increase the share limitation contained in Section 3(a) hereof; and (v) take any action, before or after an Award is made, that the Committee determines to be necessary or advisable to obtain approval or comply with any local governmental regulatory exemptions or approvals.
SECTION 3.
STOCK ISSUABLE UNDER THE PLAN; MERGERS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS; SUBSTITUTION
(a)    Stock Issuable. The maximum number of Shares reserved and available for issuance under the Plan shall be 95,092,215 Shares, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3(b). For purposes of this limitation, the Shares underlying any Awards that are forfeited, canceled, reacquired by the Company prior to vesting, satisfied without the issuance of Stock or otherwise terminated (other than by exercise) and Shares that are withheld upon exercise of an Option or settlement of an Award to cover the exercise price or tax withholding shall be added back to the Shares available for issuance under the Plan. Subject to such overall limitations, Shares may be issued up to such maximum number pursuant to any type or types of Award, and no more than 95,092,215 Shares may be issued pursuant to Incentive Stock Options. The Shares available for issuance under the Plan may be authorized but unissued Shares or Shares reacquired by the Company. Beginning on the date that the Company becomes subject to Section 162(m) of the Code, Options with respect to no more than 95,092,215 Shares shall be granted to any one individual in any calendar year period.
(b)    Changes in Stock. Subject to Section 3(c) hereof, if, as a result of any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar change in the Company’s capital stock, the outstanding Shares are increased or decreased or are exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company, or additional Shares or new or different shares or other securities of the Company or other non-cash assets are distributed with respect to such Shares or other securities, in each case, without the receipt of consideration by the Company, or, if, as a result of any merger or consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the outstanding Shares are converted into or exchanged for other securities of the Company or any successor entity (or a parent or subsidiary thereof), the Committee shall make an appropriate and proportionate adjustment in (i) the maximum number of Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, (ii) the number and kind of Shares or other securities subject to any then outstanding Awards under the Plan, (iii) the repurchase price, if any, per Share subject to each outstanding Award, and (iv) the exercise price for each Share subject to any then outstanding Stock Options under the Plan, without changing the aggregate exercise price (i.e., the exercise price multiplied by the number of Stock Options) as to which such Stock Options remain exercisable. The Committee shall in any event make such adjustments as may be required by Section 25102(o) of the California Corporation Code and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The adjustment by the Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive. No fractional Shares shall be issued under the Plan resulting from any such adjustment, but the Committee in its discretion may make a cash payment in lieu of fractional shares.

7



(c)    Sale Events.
(i)    Options.
(A)    In the case of and subject to the consummation of a Sale Event, the Plan and all outstanding Options issued hereunder may be assumed or continued by the successor entity in its discretion, or new stock options or other awards of the successor entity or parent thereof may be substituted therefor, with an equitable or proportionate adjustment as to the number and kind of shares and, if appropriate, the per share exercise prices, as such parties shall agree (after taking into account any acceleration hereunder and/or pursuant to the terms of any Award Agreement).
(B)    In the event the Plan and any outstanding Options are not assumed, continued or otherwise substituted pursuant to Section 3(c)(A) above, the Plan and such outstanding Options shall terminate upon the effective time of any such Sale Event. In the event of such termination, each Holder of Options shall be permitted, within a period of time prior to the consummation of the Sale Event as specified by the Committee, to exercise all such Options which are then exercisable or will become exercisable as of the effective time of the Sale Event; provided, however, that the exercise of Options not exercisable prior to the Sale Event shall be subject to the consummation of the Sale Event.
(C)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3(c)(i)(A) or (B), in the event of a Sale Event, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make or provide for a cash payment to the Holders of Options, without any consent of the Holders, in exchange for the cancellation thereof, in an amount equal to the difference between (A) the value as determined by the Committee of the consideration payable per share of Stock pursuant to the Sale Event (the “Sale Price”) times the number of Shares subject to outstanding Options being cancelled (to the extent then vested and exercisable, including by reason of acceleration in connection with such Sale Event, at prices not in excess of the Sale Price) and (B) the aggregate exercise price of all such outstanding vested and exercisable Options.
(ii)    Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit Awards.
(A)    In the case of and subject to the consummation of a Sale Event, all unvested Restricted Stock and unvested Restricted Stock Unit Awards (other than those becoming vested as a result of the Sale Event) may be assumed or continued by the successor entity in its discretion, or awards of the successor entity or parent thereof may be substituted therefor, with an equitable or proportionate adjustment as to the number and kind of shares subject to such awards as such parties shall agree (after taking into account any acceleration hereunder and/or pursuant to the terms of any Award Agreement) .
(B)    In the event unvested Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units (other than those becoming vested as part of the Sale Event) are not assumed, continued or otherwise substituted pursuant to Section 3(c)(ii)(A) above, such unvested Restricted Stock and unvested Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited immediately prior to the effective

8



time of any such Sale Event. In the event of such forfeiture, such Restricted Stock shall be repurchased from the Holder thereof at a price per share equal to the original per share purchase price paid by the Holder (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3(b)) for such Shares.
(C)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3(c)(ii)(A) or (B), in the event of a Sale Event, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make or provide for a cash payment to the Holders of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Awards, without consent of the Holders, in exchange for the cancellation thereof, in an amount equal to the Sale Price times the number of Shares subject to such Awards, to be paid at the time of such Sale Event or upon the later vesting of such Awards.
SECTION 4.
ELIGIBILITY
Grantees under the Plan will be such full or part-time officers and other employees, directors, Consultants and key persons of the Company and any Subsidiary who are selected from time to time by the Committee in its sole discretion; provided, however, that Awards shall be granted only to those individuals described in Rule 701(c) of the Securities Act.
SECTION 5.
STOCK OPTIONS
Upon the grant of a Stock Option, the Company and the grantee shall enter into an Award Agreement. The terms and conditions of each such Award Agreement shall be determined by the Committee, and such terms and conditions may differ among individual Awards and grantees.
Stock Options granted under the Plan may be either Incentive Stock Options or Non-Qualified Stock Options. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to employees of the Company or any Subsidiary that is a “subsidiary corporation” within the meaning of Section 424(f) of the Code. To the extent that any Option does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, it shall be deemed a Non-Qualified Stock Option.
(a)    Terms of Stock Options. The Committee in its discretion may grant Stock Options to those individuals who meet the eligibility requirements of Section 4. Stock Options shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Committee shall deem desirable.
(i)    Exercise Price. The exercise price per share for the Shares covered by a Stock Option shall be determined by the Committee at the time of grant but shall not be less than 100 percent of the Fair Market Value on the Grant Date. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option that is granted to a Ten Percent Owner, the exercise price per share for the Shares covered by such Incentive Stock Option shall not be less than 110 percent of the Fair Market Value on the Grant Date.
(ii)    Option Term. The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the Committee, but no Stock Option shall be exercisable more than ten years from the Grant Date. In the case of

9



an Incentive Stock Option that is granted to a Ten Percent Owner, the term of such Stock Option shall be no more than five years from the Grant Date.
(iii)    Exercisability; Rights of a Stockholder. Stock Options shall become exercisable and/or vested at such time or times, whether or not in installments, as shall be determined by the Committee at or after the Grant Date. The Award Agreement may permit a grantee to exercise all or a portion of a Stock Option immediately at grant; provided that the Shares issued upon such exercise shall be subject to restrictions and a vesting schedule identical to the vesting schedule of the related Stock Option, such Shares shall be deemed to be Restricted Stock for purposes of the Plan, and the optionee may be required to enter into an additional or new Award Agreement as a condition to exercise of such Stock Option. An optionee shall have the rights of a stockholder only as to Shares acquired upon the exercise of a Stock Option and not as to unexercised Stock Options. An optionee shall not be deemed to have acquired any Shares unless and until a Stock Option shall have been exercised pursuant to the terms of the Award Agreement and this Plan and the optionee’s name has been entered on the books of the Company as a stockholder.
(iv)    Method of Exercise. Stock Options may be exercised by an optionee in whole or in part, by the optionee giving written or electronic notice of exercise to the Company, specifying the number of Shares to be purchased. Payment of the purchase price may be made by one or more of the following methods (or any combination thereof) to the extent provided in the Award Agreement:
(A)    In cash, by certified or bank check, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, or other instrument acceptable to the Committee;
(B)    If permitted by the Committee, by the optionee delivering to the Company a promissory note, if the Board has expressly authorized the loan of funds to the optionee for the purpose of enabling or assisting the optionee to effect the exercise of his or her Stock Option; provided, that at least so much of the exercise price as represents the par value of the Stock shall be paid in cash if required by state law;
(C)    If permitted by the Committee and the Initial Public Offering has occurred (or the Stock otherwise becomes publicly-traded), through the delivery (or attestation to the ownership) of Shares that have been purchased by the optionee on the open market or that are beneficially owned by the optionee and are not then subject to restrictions under any Company plan. To the extent required to avoid variable accounting treatment under ASC 718 or other applicable accounting rules, such surrendered Shares if originally purchased from the Company shall have been owned by the optionee for at least six months. Such surrendered Shares shall be valued at Fair Market Value on the exercise date;
(D)    If permitted by the Committee and the Initial Public Offering has occurred (or the Stock otherwise becomes publicly-traded), by the optionee delivering to the Company a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to promptly deliver to the Company cash or a check payable and acceptable to the Company for the purchase price; provided that in the event the optionee chooses to pay the purchase price as so provided, the optionee and the broker shall comply with such procedures

10



and enter into such agreements of indemnity and other agreements as the Committee shall prescribe as a condition of such payment procedure; or
(E)    If permitted by the Committee, and only with respect to Stock Options that are not Incentive Stock Options, by a “net exercise” arrangement pursuant to which the Company will reduce the number of Shares issuable upon exercise by the largest whole number of Shares with a Fair Market Value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price.
Payment instruments will be received subject to collection. No certificates for Shares so purchased will be issued to the optionee or, with respect to uncertificated Stock, no transfer to the optionee on the records of the Company will take place, until the Company has completed all steps it has deemed necessary to satisfy legal requirements relating to the issuance and sale of the Shares, which steps may include, without limitation, (i) receipt of a representation from the optionee at the time of exercise of the Option that the optionee is purchasing the Shares for the optionee’s own account and not with a view to any sale or distribution of the Shares or other representations relating to compliance with applicable law governing the issuance of securities, (ii) the legending of the certificate (or notation on any book entry) representing the Shares to evidence the foregoing restrictions, and (iii) obtaining from optionee payment or provision for all withholding taxes due as a result of the exercise of the Option. The delivery of certificates representing the shares of Stock (or the transfer to the optionee on the records of the Company with respect to uncertificated Stock) to be purchased pursuant to the exercise of a Stock Option will be contingent upon (A) receipt from the optionee (or a purchaser acting in his or her stead in accordance with the provisions of the Stock Option) by the Company of the full purchase price for such Shares and the fulfillment of any other requirements contained in the Award Agreement or applicable provisions of laws and (B) if required by the Company, the optionee shall have entered into any stockholders agreements or other agreements with the Company and/or certain other of the Company’s stockholders relating to the Stock. In the event an optionee chooses to pay the purchase price by previously-owned Shares through the attestation method, the number of Shares transferred to the optionee upon the exercise of the Stock Option shall be net of the number of Shares attested to.
(b)    Annual Limit on Incentive Stock Options. To the extent required for “incentive stock option” treatment under Section 422 of the Code, the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the Grant Date) of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan and any other plan of the Company or its parent and any Subsidiary that become exercisable for the first time by an optionee during any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000 or such other limit as may be in effect from time to time under Section 422 of the Code. To the extent that any Stock Option exceeds this limit, it shall constitute a Non-Qualified Stock Option.
(c)    Termination. Any portion of a Stock Option that is not vested and exercisable on the date of termination of an optionee’s Service Relationship shall immediately expire and be null and void. Once any portion of the Stock Option becomes vested and exercisable, the optionee’s right to exercise such portion of the Stock Option (or the optionee’s representatives and legatees as applicable) in the event of a termination of the optionee’s Service Relationship shall continue until the earliest of: (i) the date which is: (A) 12 months following the date on which the optionee’s

11



Service Relationship terminates due to death or Disability (or such longer period of time as determined by the Committee and set forth in the applicable Award Agreement), or (B) three months following the date on which the optionee’s Service Relationship terminates if the termination is due to any reason other than death or Disability (or such longer period of time as determined by the Committee and set forth in the applicable Award Agreement), or (ii) the Expiration Date set forth in the Award Agreement; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, an Award Agreement may provide that if the optionee’s Service Relationship is terminated for Cause, the Stock Option shall terminate immediately and be null and void upon the date of the optionee’s termination and shall not thereafter be exercisable.
SECTION 6.
RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS
(a)    Nature of Restricted Stock Awards. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, grant (or sell at par value or such other purchase price determined by the Committee) to an eligible individual under Section 4 hereof a Restricted Stock Award under the Plan. The Committee shall determine the restrictions and conditions applicable to each Restricted Stock Award at the time of grant. Conditions may be based on continuing employment (or other Service Relationship), achievement of pre-established performance goals and objectives and/or such other criteria as the Committee may determine. Upon the grant of a Restricted Stock Award, the Company and the grantee shall enter into an Award Agreement. The terms and conditions of each such Award Agreement shall be determined by the Committee, and such terms and conditions may differ among individual Awards and grantees.
(b)    Rights as a Stockholder. Upon the grant of the Restricted Stock Award and payment of any applicable purchase price, a grantee of Restricted Stock shall be considered the record owner of and shall be entitled to vote the Restricted Stock if, and to the extent, such Shares are entitled to voting rights, subject to such conditions contained in the Award Agreement. The grantee shall be entitled to receive all dividends and any other distributions declared on the Shares; provided, however, that the Company is under no duty to declare any such dividends or to make any such distribution. Unless the Committee shall otherwise determine, certificates evidencing the Restricted Stock shall remain in the possession of the Company until such Restricted Stock is vested as provided in subsection (d) below of this Section, and the grantee shall be required, as a condition of the grant, to deliver to the Company a stock power endorsed in blank and such other instruments of transfer as the Committee may prescribe.
(c)    Restrictions. Restricted Stock may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of except as specifically provided herein or in the Award Agreement. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Committee either in the Award Agreement or, subject to Section 12 below, in writing after the Award Agreement is issued, if a grantee’s Service Relationship with the Company and any Subsidiary terminates, the Company or its assigns shall have the right, as may be specified in the relevant instrument, to repurchase some or all of the Shares subject to the Award at such purchase price as is set forth in the Award Agreement.
(d)    Vesting of Restricted Stock. The Committee at the time of grant shall specify in the Award Agreement the date or dates and/or the attainment of pre-established performance goals, objectives and other conditions on which the substantial risk of forfeiture imposed shall lapse and

12



the Restricted Stock shall become vested, subject to such further rights of the Company or its assigns as may be specified in the Award Agreement.
SECTION 7.
UNRESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS
The Committee may, in its sole discretion, grant (or sell at par value or such other purchase price determined by the Committee) to an eligible person under Section 4 hereof an Unrestricted Stock Award under the Plan. Unrestricted Stock Awards may be granted in respect of past services or other valid consideration, or in lieu of cash compensation due to such grantee.
SECTION 8.
RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS
(a)    Nature of Restricted Stock Units. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, grant to an eligible person under Section 4 hereof Restricted Stock Units under the Plan. The Committee shall determine the restrictions and conditions applicable to each Restricted Stock Unit at the time of grant. Vesting conditions may be based on continuing employment (or other Service Relationship), achievement of pre-established performance goals and objectives and/or other such criteria as the Committee may determine. Upon the grant of Restricted Stock Units, the grantee and the Company shall enter into an Award Agreement. The terms and conditions of each such Award Agreement shall be determined by the Committee and may differ among individual Awards and grantees. On or promptly following the vesting date or dates applicable to any Restricted Stock Unit, but in no event later than March 15 of the year following the year in which such vesting occurs, such Restricted Stock Unit(s) shall be settled in the form of cash or shares of Stock, as specified in the Award Agreement. Restricted Stock Units may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, or otherwise encumbered or disposed of.
(b)    Rights as a Stockholder. A grantee shall have the rights of a stockholder only as to Shares, if any, acquired upon settlement of Restricted Stock Units. A grantee shall not be deemed to have acquired any such Shares unless and until the Restricted Stock Units shall have been settled in Shares pursuant to the terms of the Plan and the Award Agreement, the Company shall have issued and delivered a certificate representing the Shares to the grantee (or transferred on the records of the Company with respect to uncertificated stock), and the grantee’s name has been entered in the books of the Company as a stockholder.
(c)    Termination. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Committee either in the Award Agreement or in writing after the Award Agreement is issued, a grantee’s right in all Restricted Stock Units that have not vested shall automatically terminate upon the grantee’s cessation of Service Relationship with the Company and any Subsidiary for any reason.
SECTION 9.
TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS; COMPANY RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL; COMPANY REPURCHASE RIGHTS
(a)    Restrictions on Transfer.
(i)    Non-Transferability of Stock Options. Stock Options and, prior to exercise, the Shares issuable upon exercise of such Stock Option, shall not be transferable by the optionee

13



otherwise than by will, or by the laws of descent and distribution, and all Stock Options shall be exercisable, during the optionee’s lifetime, only by the optionee, or by the optionee’s legal representative or guardian in the event of the optionee’s incapacity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may provide in the Award Agreement regarding a given Stock Option that the optionee may transfer by gift, without consideration for the transfer, his or her Non-Qualified Stock Options to his or her family members (as defined in Rule 701 of the Securities Act), to trusts for the benefit of such family members, or to partnerships in which such family members are the only partners (to the extent such trusts or partnerships are considered “family members” for purposes of Rule 701 of the Securities Act), provided that the transferee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Plan and the applicable Award Agreement, including the execution of a stock power upon the issuance of Shares. Stock Options, and the Shares issuable upon exercise of such Stock Options, shall be restricted as to any pledge, hypothecation, or other transfer, including any short position, any “put equivalent position” (as defined in the Exchange Act) or any “call equivalent position” (as defined in the Exchange Act) prior to exercise.
(ii)    Shares. Subject to Section 9(h) hereof, no Shares shall be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, given away or in any other manner disposed of or encumbered, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, unless (i) the transfer is in compliance with the terms of the applicable Award Agreement, all applicable securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act), and with the terms and conditions of this Section 9, (ii) the transfer does not cause the Company to become subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, and (iii) the transferee consents in writing to be bound by the provisions of the Plan and the Award Agreement, including this Section 9. In connection with any proposed transfer, the Committee may require the transferor to provide at the transferor’s own expense an opinion of counsel to the transferor, satisfactory to the Committee, that such transfer is in compliance with all foreign, federal and state securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act). Any attempted transfer of Shares not in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 9 shall be null and void, and the Company shall not reflect on its records any change in record ownership of any Shares as a result of any such transfer, shall otherwise refuse to recognize any such transfer and shall not in any way give effect to any such transfer of Shares. The Company shall be entitled to seek protective orders, injunctive relief and other remedies available at law or in equity including, without limitation, seeking specific performance or the rescission of any transfer not made in strict compliance with the provisions of this Section 9. Subject to the foregoing general provisions, and unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, Shares may be transferred pursuant to the following specific terms and conditions (provided that with respect to any transfer of Restricted Stock, all vesting and forfeiture provisions shall continue to apply with respect to the original recipient):
(A)    Transfers to Permitted Transferees. The Holder may transfer any or all of the Shares to one or more Permitted Transferees; provided, however, that following such transfer, such Shares shall continue to be subject to the terms of this Plan (including this Section 9) and such Permitted Transferee(s) shall, as a condition to any such transfer, deliver a written acknowledgment to that effect to the Company and shall deliver a stock power to the Company with respect to the Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder

14



may not transfer any of the Shares to a Person whom the Company reasonably determines is a direct competitor or a potential competitor of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
(B)    Transfers Upon Death. Upon the death of the Holder, any Shares then held by the Holder at the time of such death and any Shares acquired after the Holder’s death by the Holder’s legal representative shall be subject to the provisions of this Plan, and the Holder’s estate, executors, administrators, personal representatives, heirs, legatees and distributees shall be obligated to convey such Shares to the Company or its assigns under the terms contemplated by the Plan and the Award Agreement.
(b)    Right of First Refusal. In the event that a Holder desires at any time to sell or otherwise transfer all or any part of his or her Shares (other than shares of Restricted Stock which by their terms are not transferrable), and including any Permitted Transfer (if applicable), the Holder first shall give written notice to the Company of the Holder’s intention to make such transfer. Such notice shall state the number of Shares that the Holder proposes to sell (the “Offered Shares”), the price and the terms at which the proposed sale is to be made and the name and address of the proposed transferee. At any time within 30 days after the receipt of such notice by the Company, the Company or its assigns may elect to purchase all or any portion of the Offered Shares at the price and on the terms offered by the proposed transferee and specified in the notice. The Company or its assigns shall exercise this right by mailing or delivering written notice to the Holder within the foregoing 30-day period. If the Company or its assigns elect to exercise its purchase rights under this Section 9(b), the closing for such purchase shall, in any event, take place within 45 days after the receipt by the Company of the initial notice from the Holder. In the event that the Company or its assigns do not elect to exercise such purchase right, or in the event that the Company or its assigns do not pay the full purchase price within such 45-day period, the Holder shall be required to pay a transaction processing fee of $10,000 to the Company (unless waived by the Committee) and then may, within 60 days thereafter, sell the Offered Shares to the proposed transferee and at the same price and on the same terms as specified in the Holder’s notice. Any Shares not sold to the proposed transferee shall remain subject to the Plan. If the Holder is a party to any stockholders agreements or other agreements with the Company and/or certain other of the Company’s stockholders relating to the Shares, (i) the transferring Holder shall comply with the requirements of such stockholders agreements or other agreements relating to any proposed transfer of the Offered Shares, and (ii) any proposed transferee that purchases Offered Shares shall enter into such stockholders agreements or other agreements with the Company and/or certain of the Company’s stockholders relating to the Offered Shares on the same terms and in the same capacity as the transferring Holder.
(c)    Company’s Right of Repurchase.
(i)    Right of Repurchase for Shares Issued Upon the Exercise of an Option. Upon a Termination Event, the Company or its assigns shall have the right and option to repurchase from a Holder of Shares acquired upon exercise of a Stock Option any Shares which are still subject to a risk of forfeiture as of the Termination Event and, to the extent explicitly provided in an Award Agreement, any Shares which have vested and are no longer subject to a risk of forfeiture. Such repurchase rights may be exercised by the Company within the later of (A) six months following

15



the date of such Termination Event or (B) seven months after the acquisition of Shares upon exercise of a Stock Option. The repurchase price shall be equal to (x) in the case of Shares which are still subject to a risk of forfeiture as of the Termination Event, the lower of the original per share price paid by the Holder, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3(b) of the Plan, or the current Fair Market Value of such Shares as of the date the Company elects to exercise its repurchase rights and (y) in the case of Shares which are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture as of the Termination Event, (a) in the case of a repurchase following a termination of the Holder’s Service Relationship for Cause, the lower of the original per share price paid by the Holder, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3(b) of the Plan, or the current Fair Market Value of such Shares as of the date the Company elects to exercise its repurchase rights and (b) in the case of any other Termination Event, the Fair Market Value of such Shares as of the date the Company elects to exercise its repurchase rights.
(ii)    Right of Repurchase With Respect to Restricted Stock. Upon a Termination Event, the Company or its assigns shall have the right and option to repurchase from a Holder of Shares received pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award any Shares that are still subject to a risk of forfeiture as of the Termination Event and, to the extent explicitly provided in an Award Agreement, any Shares which have vested and are no longer subject to a risk of forfeiture. Such repurchase right may be exercised by the Company within the later of (A) six months following the date of such Termination Event or (B) seven months after the acquisition of Shares upon exercise of a Stock Option. The repurchase price shall be equal to (x) in the case of Shares which are still subject to a risk of forfeiture as of the Termination Event, the lower of the original per share price paid by the Holder, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3(b) of the Plan, or the current Fair Market Value of such Shares as of the date the Company elects to exercise its repurchase rights and (y) in the case of Shares which are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture as of the Termination Event, (a) in the case of a repurchase following a termination of the Holder’s Service Relationship for Cause, the lower of the original per share price paid by the Holder, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3(b) of the Plan, or the current Fair Market Value of such Shares as of the date the Company elects to exercise its repurchase rights and (b) in the case of any other Termination Event, the Fair Market Value of such Shares as of the date the Company elects to exercise its repurchase rights.
(iii)    Procedure. Any repurchase right of the Company shall be exercised by the Company or its assigns by giving the Holder written notice on or before the last day of the repurchase period of its intention to exercise such repurchase right. Upon such notification, the Holder shall promptly surrender to the Company, free and clear of any liens or encumbrances, any certificates representing the Shares being purchased, together with a duly executed stock power for the transfer of such Shares to the Company or the Company’s assignee or assignees. Upon the Company’s or its assignee’s receipt of the certificates from the Holder, the Company or its assignee or assignees shall deliver to him, her or them a check for the applicable repurchase price; provided, however, that the Company may pay the repurchase price by offsetting and canceling any indebtedness then owed by the Holder to the Company.
(d)    Drag Along Right. In the event the holders of a majority of the Company’s equity securities then outstanding (the “Majority Shareholders”) determine to enter into a Sale Event in a

16



bona fide negotiated transaction (a “Sale”), with any non-Affiliate of the Company or any majority shareholder (in each case, the “Buyer”), a Holder of Shares, including any Permitted Transferee, shall be obligated to and shall upon the written request of the Majority Shareholders: (a) sell, transfer and deliver, or cause to be sold, transferred and delivered, to the Buyer, his or her Shares (including for this purpose all of such Holder’s Shares that presently or as a result of any such transaction may be acquired upon the exercise of an Option (following the payment of the exercise price therefor)) on substantially the same terms applicable to the Majority Shareholders (with appropriate adjustments to reflect the conversion of convertible securities, the redemption of redeemable securities and the exercise of exercisable securities as well as the relative preferences and priorities of preferred stock); and (b) execute and deliver such instruments of conveyance and transfer and take such other action, including voting such Shares in favor of any Sale proposed by the Majority Shareholders and executing any purchase agreements, merger agreements, indemnity agreements, escrow agreements or related documents as the Majority Shareholders or the Buyer may reasonably require in order to carry out the terms and provisions of this Section 9(d).
(e)    Escrow Arrangement.
(i)    Escrow. In order to carry out the provisions of this Section 9 of this Plan more effectively, the Company shall hold any Shares issued pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan in escrow together with separate stock powers executed by the Holder in blank for transfer. The Company shall not dispose of the Shares except as otherwise provided in this Plan. In the event of any repurchase by the Company (or any of its assigns), the Company is hereby authorized by the Holder, as the Holder’s attorney-in-fact, to date and complete the stock powers necessary for the transfer of the Shares being purchased and to transfer such Shares in accordance with the terms hereof. At such time as any Shares are no longer subject to the Company’s repurchase and first refusal rights, the Company shall, at the written request of the Holder, deliver to the Holder a certificate representing such Shares with the balance of the Shares to be held in escrow pursuant to this Section.
(ii)    Remedy. Without limitation of any other provision of this Plan or other rights, in the event that a Holder or any other Person is required to sell a Holder’s Shares pursuant to the provisions of Sections 9(b) or (c) hereof and in the further event that he or she refuses or for any reason fails to deliver to the Company or its designated purchaser of such Shares the certificate or certificates evidencing such Shares together with a related stock power, the Company or such designated purchaser may deposit the applicable purchase price for such Shares with a bank designated by the Company, or with the Company’s independent public accounting firm, as agent or trustee, or in escrow, for such Holder or other Person, to be held by such bank or accounting firm for the benefit of and for delivery to him, her, them or it, and/or, in its discretion, pay such purchase price by offsetting any indebtedness then owed by such Holder as provided above. Upon any such deposit and/or offset by the Company or its designated purchaser of such amount and upon notice to the Person who was required to sell the Shares to be sold pursuant to the provisions of Sections 9(b) or (c), such Shares shall at such time be deemed to have been sold, assigned, transferred and conveyed to such purchaser, such Holder shall have no further rights thereto (other than the right to withdraw the payment thereof held in escrow, if applicable), and the Company shall record such transfer in its stock transfer book or in any appropriate manner.

17



(f)    Lockup Provision. If requested by the Company, a Holder shall not sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Shares (including, without limitation, pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act) held by him or her for such period following the effective date of a public offering by the Company of Shares as the Company shall specify reasonably and in good faith. If requested by the underwriter engaged by the Company, each Holder shall execute a separate letter confirming his or her agreement to comply with this Section.
(g)    Adjustments for Changes in Capital Structure. If, as a result of any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar change in the Common Stock, the outstanding Shares are increased or decreased or are exchanged for a different number or kind of securities of the Company, the restrictions contained in this Section 9 shall apply with equal force to additional and/or substitute securities, if any, received by Holder in exchange for, or by virtue of his or her ownership of, Shares.
(h)    Additional Transfer Restrictions. Notwithstanding anything provided herein to the contrary, a Holder may not Transfer Shares, or any other shares of Company Common Stock previously or subsequently acquired by the Holder, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, or by gift or otherwise, except by means of a Permitted Transfer and in accordance with this Section 9(h). Any Transfer of Shares shall be null and void unless the terms, conditions and provisions of this Section 9(h) are strictly observed and followed.
(i)    Termination. The terms and provisions of Section 9(b), Section 9(c) (except for the Company’s right to repurchase Shares still subject to a risk of forfeiture upon a Termination Event), Section 9(d) and Section 9(h) shall terminate upon the closing of the Company’s Initial Public Offering or upon consummation of any Sale Event, in either case as a result of which Shares are registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act and publicly-traded on any national security exchange.
SECTION 10.
TAX WITHHOLDING
(a)    Payment by Grantee. Each grantee shall, no later than the date as of which the value of an Award or of any Shares or other amounts received thereunder first becomes includable in the gross income of the grantee for income tax purposes, pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee regarding payment of, any Federal, state, or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld by the Company with respect to such income. The Company and any Subsidiary shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the grantee. The Company’s obligation to deliver stock certificates (or evidence of book entry) to any grantee is subject to and conditioned on any such tax withholding obligations being satisfied by the grantee.
(b)    Payment in Stock. The Company’s minimum required tax withholding obligation may be satisfied, in whole or in part, by the Company withholding from Shares to be issued pursuant to an Award a number of Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date the withholding is effected) that would satisfy the minimum withholding amount due.

18



SECTION 11.
SECTION 409A AWARDS.
To the extent that any Award is determined to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A (a “409A Award”), the Award shall be subject to such additional rules and requirements as may be specified by the Committee from time to time. In this regard, if any amount under a 409A Award is payable upon a “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A) to a grantee who is considered a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A), then no such payment shall be made prior to the date that is the earlier of (i) six months and one day after the grantee’s separation from service, or (ii) the grantee’s death, but only to the extent such delay is necessary to prevent such payment from being subject to interest, penalties and/or additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A. The Company makes no representation or warranty and shall have no liability to any grantee under the Plan or any other Person with respect to any penalties or taxes under Section 409A that are, or may be, imposed with respect to any Award.
SECTION 12.
AMENDMENTS AND TERMINATION
The Board may, at any time, amend or discontinue the Plan and the Committee may, at any time, amend or cancel any outstanding Award for the purpose of satisfying changes in law or for any other lawful purpose, but no such action shall adversely affect rights under any outstanding Award without the consent of the holder of the Award. The Committee may exercise its discretion to reduce the exercise price of outstanding Stock Options or effect repricing through cancellation of outstanding Stock Options and by granting such holders new Awards in replacement of the cancelled Stock Options. To the extent determined by the Committee to be required either by the Code to ensure that Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan are qualified under Section 422 of the Code or otherwise, Plan amendments shall be subject to approval by the Company stockholders entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders. Nothing in this Section 12 shall limit the Board’s or Committee’s authority to take any action permitted pursuant to Section 3(c). The Board reserves the right to amend the Plan and/or the terms of any outstanding Stock Options to the extent reasonably necessary to comply with the requirements of the exemption pursuant to paragraph (f)(4) of Rule 12h-1 of the Exchange Act.
SECTION 13.
STATUS OF PLAN
With respect to the portion of any Award that has not been exercised and any payments in cash, Stock or other consideration not received by a grantee, a grantee shall have no rights greater than those of a general creditor of the Company unless the Committee shall otherwise expressly so determine in connection with any Award.
SECTION 14.
GENERAL PROVISIONS
(a)    No Distribution; Compliance with Legal Requirements. The Committee may require each person acquiring Shares pursuant to an Award to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that such person is acquiring the Shares without a view to distribution thereof. No Shares shall be issued pursuant to an Award until all applicable securities law and other legal and stock

19



exchange or similar requirements have been satisfied. The Committee may require the placing of such stop-orders and restrictive legends on certificates for Stock and Awards as it deems appropriate.
(b)    Delivery of Stock Certificates. Stock certificates to grantees under the Plan shall be deemed delivered for all purposes when the Company or a stock transfer agent of the Company shall have mailed such certificates in the United States mail, addressed to the grantee, at the grantee’s last known address on file with the Company; provided that stock certificates to be held in escrow pursuant to Section 9 of the Plan shall be deemed delivered when the Company shall have recorded the issuance in its records. Uncertificated Stock shall be deemed delivered for all purposes when the Company or a stock transfer agent of the Company shall have given to the grantee by electronic mail (with proof of receipt) or by United States mail, addressed to the grantee, at the grantee’s last known address on file with the Company, notice of issuance and recorded the issuance in its records (which may include electronic “book entry” records).
(c)    No Employment Rights. The adoption of the Plan and the grant of Awards do not confer upon any Person any right to continued employment or Service Relationship with the Company or any Subsidiary.
(d)    Trading Policy Restrictions. Option exercises and other Awards under the Plan shall be subject to the Company’s insider trading policy-related restrictions, terms and conditions as may be established by the Committee, or in accordance with policies set by the Committee, from time to time.
(e)    Designation of Beneficiary. Each grantee to whom an Award has been made under the Plan may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to exercise any Award on or after the grantee’s death or receive any payment under any Award payable on or after the grantee’s death. Any such designation shall be on a form provided for that purpose by the Committee and shall not be effective until received by the Committee. If no beneficiary has been designated by a deceased grantee, or if the designated beneficiaries have predeceased the grantee, the beneficiary shall be the grantee’s estate.
(f)    Legend. Any certificate(s) representing the Shares shall carry substantially the following legend (and with respect to uncertificated Stock, the book entries evidencing such shares shall contain the following notation):
The transferability of this certificate and the shares of stock represented hereby are subject to the restrictions, terms and conditions (including repurchase and restrictions against transfers) contained in the Qualtrics International Inc. 2014 Stock Option and Grant Plan and any agreements entered into thereunder by and between the company and the holder of this certificate (a copy of which is available at the offices of the company for examination).
(g)    Information to Holders of Options. In the event the Company is relying on the exemption from the registration requirements of Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act contained in paragraph (f)(1) of Rule 12h-1 of the Exchange Act, the Company shall provide the information

20



described in Rule 701(e)(3), (4) and (5) of the Securities Act to all holders of Options in accordance with the requirements thereunder. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Company shall not be required to provide such information unless the optionholder has agreed in writing, on a form prescribed by the Company, to keep such information confidential.
SECTION 15.
EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN
The Plan shall become effective upon adoption by the Board and shall be approved by stockholders in accordance with applicable state law and the Company’s articles of incorporation and bylaws within 12 months thereafter. If the stockholders fail to approve the Plan within 12 months after its adoption by the Board of Directors, then any Awards granted or sold under the Plan shall be rescinded and no additional grants or sales shall thereafter be made under the Plan. Subject to such approval by stockholders and to the requirement that no Shares may be issued hereunder prior to such approval, Stock Options and other Awards may be granted hereunder on and after adoption of the Plan by the Board. No grants of Stock Options and other Awards may be made hereunder after the tenth anniversary of the date the Plan is adopted by the Board or the date the Plan is approved by the Company’s stockholders, whichever is earlier.
SECTION 16.
GOVERNING LAW

INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
UNDER THE QUALTRICS INTERNATIONAL INC.
2014 STOCK OPTION AND GRANT PLAN
All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Grant Notice and the Plan.
1.Vesting, Exercisability and Termination.
(a)    No portion of this Stock Option may be exercised until such portion shall have vested and become exercisable.
(b)    Except as set forth below, and subject to the determination of the Committee in its sole discretion to accelerate the vesting schedule hereunder, this Stock Option shall be vested and exercisable on the respective dates indicated below:
(i)    This Stock Option shall initially be unvested and unexercisable.
(ii)    This Stock Option shall vest and become exercisable in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth in the Grant Notice.
(c)    Termination. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Committee, if the Optionee’s Service Relationship is terminated, the period within which to exercise this Stock Option will be subject to earlier termination as set forth below (and if not exercised within such period, shall thereafter terminate subject, in each case, to Section 3(c) of the Plan):
(i)    Termination Due to Death or Disability. If the Optionee’s Service Relationship terminates by reason of such Optionee’s death or Disability, this Stock Option may be exercised, to the extent exercisable on the date of such termination, by the Optionee, the Optionee’s legal representative or legatee for a period of 12 months from the date of death or Disability or until the Expiration Date, if earlier.
(ii)    Other Termination. If the Optionee’s Service Relationship terminates for any reason other than death or Disability, and unless otherwise determined by the Committee, this Stock Option may be exercised, to the extent exercisable on the date of termination, for a period of 90 days from the date of termination or until the Expiration Date, if earlier; provided however, if the Optionee’s Service Relationship is terminated for Cause, this Stock Option shall terminate immediately upon the date of such termination.
For purposes hereof, the Committee’s determination of the reason for termination of the Optionee’s Service Relationship shall be conclusive and binding on the Optionee and his or her representatives or legatees. Any portion of this Stock Option that is not vested and exercisable on the date of termination of the Service Relationship shall terminate immediately and be null and void.

23



(d)    It is understood and intended that this Stock Option is intended to qualify as an “incentive stock option” as defined in Section 422 of the Code to the extent permitted under applicable law. Accordingly, the Optionee understands that in order to obtain the benefits of an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Code, no sale or other disposition may be made of Shares for which incentive stock option treatment is desired within the one‑year period beginning on the day after the day of the transfer of such Shares to him or her, nor within the two‑year period beginning on the day after Grant Date of this Stock Option and further that this Stock Option must be exercised within three months after termination of employment as an employee (or 12 months in the case of death or disability) to qualify as an incentive stock option. If the Optionee disposes (whether by sale, gift, transfer or otherwise) of any such Shares within either of these periods, he or she will notify the Company within 30 days after such disposition. The Optionee also agrees to provide the Company with any information concerning any such dispositions required by the Company for tax purposes. Further, to the extent this Stock Option and any other incentive stock options of the Optionee having an aggregate Fair Market Value in excess of $100,000 (determined as of the Grant Date) first become exercisable in any year, such options will not qualify as incentive stock options.
2.    Exercise of Stock Option.
(a)    The Optionee may exercise this Stock Option only in the following manner: Prior to the Expiration Date, the Optionee may deliver a Stock Option exercise notice (an “Exercise Notice”) in the form of Appendix A hereto indicating his or her election to purchase some or all of the Shares with respect to which this Stock Option is then exercisable. Such notice shall specify the number of Shares to be purchased. Payment of the purchase price may be made by one or more of the methods described in Section 5 of the Plan, subject to the limitations contained in such Section of the Plan, including the requirement that the Committee specifically approve in advance certain payment methods.
(b)    Notwithstanding any other provision hereof or of the Plan, no portion of this Stock Option shall be exercisable after the Expiration Date.
3.    Incorporation of Plan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Stock Option shall be subject to and governed by all the terms and conditions of the Plan.
4.    Transferability of Stock Option. This Stock Option is personal to the Optionee and is not transferable by the Optionee in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. The Stock Option may be exercised during the Optionee’s lifetime only by the Optionee (or by the Optionee’s guardian or personal representative in the event of the Optionee’s incapacity). The Optionee may elect to designate a beneficiary by providing written notice of the name of such beneficiary to the Company, and may revoke or change such designation at any time by filing written notice of revocation or change with the Company; such beneficiary may exercise the Optionee’s Stock Option in the event of the Optionee’s death to the extent provided herein. If the Optionee does not designate a beneficiary, or if the designated beneficiary predeceases the Optionee, the legal representative of the Optionee may exercise this Stock Option to the extent provided herein in the event of the Optionee’s death.

24



5.    Restrictions on Transfer of Shares. The Shares acquired upon exercise of the Stock Option shall be subject to certain transfer restrictions and other limitations including, without limitation, the provisions contained in Section 9 of the Plan.
6.    Miscellaneous Provisions.
(a)    Equitable Relief. The parties hereto agree and declare that legal remedies may be inadequate to enforce the provisions of this Agreement and that equitable relief, including specific performance and injunctive relief, may be used to enforce the provisions of this Agreement.
(b)    Adjustments for Changes in Capital Structure. If, as a result of any reorganization, recapitalization, reincorporation, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar change in the Common Stock, the outstanding shares of Common Stock are increased or decreased or are exchanged for a different number or kind of securities of the Company, the restrictions contained in this Agreement shall apply with equal force to additional and/or substitute securities, if any, received by the Optionee in exchange for, or by virtue of his or her ownership of, this Stock Option or Shares acquired pursuant thereto.
(c)    Change and Modifications. This Agreement may not be orally changed, modified or terminated, nor shall any oral waiver of any of its terms be effective. This Agreement may be changed, modified or terminated only by an agreement in writing signed by the Company and the Optionee.
(d)    Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware as to matters within the scope thereof, and as to all other matters shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of Utah, without regard to conflict of law principles that would result in the application of any law other than the law of the State of Utah.
(e)    Headings. The headings are intended only for convenience in finding the subject matter and do not constitute part of the text of this Agreement and shall not be considered in the interpretation of this Agreement.
(f)    Saving Clause. If any provision(s) of this Agreement shall be determined to be illegal or unenforceable, such determination shall in no manner affect the legality or enforceability of any other provision hereof.
(g)    Notices. All notices, requests, consents and other communications shall be in writing and be deemed given when delivered personally, by telex or facsimile transmission or when received if mailed by first class registered or certified mail, postage prepaid. Notices to the Company or the Optionee shall be addressed as set forth underneath their signatures below, or to such other address or addresses as may have been furnished by such party in writing to the other.
(h)    Benefit and Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their respective successors, assigns, and legal

25



representatives. The Company has the right to assign this Agreement, and such assignee shall become entitled to all the rights of the Company hereunder to the extent of such assignment.
(i)    Counterparts. For the convenience of the parties and to facilitate execution, this Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same document.
(j)    Integration. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to this Stock Option and supersedes all prior agreements and discussions between the parties concerning such subject matter.
7.    Dispute Resolution.
(a)    Except as provided below, any dispute arising out of or relating to the Plan or this Stock Option, this Agreement, or the breach, termination or validity of the Plan, this Stock Option or this Agreement, shall be finally settled by binding arbitration conducted expeditiously in accordance with the J.A.M.S./Endispute Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “J.A.M.S. Rules”). The arbitration shall be governed by the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sections 1 16, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. The place of arbitration shall be Salt Lake City, Utah.
(b)    The arbitration shall commence within 60 days of the date on which a written demand for arbitration is filed by any party hereto. In connection with the arbitration proceeding, the arbitrator shall have the power to order the production of documents by each party and any third-party witnesses. In addition, each party may take up to three depositions as of right, and the arbitrator may in his or her discretion allow additional depositions upon good cause shown by the moving party. However, the arbitrator shall not have the power to order the answering of interrogatories or the response to requests for admission. In connection with any arbitration, each party to the arbitration shall provide to the other, no later than seven business days before the date of the arbitration, the identity of all persons that may testify at the arbitration and a copy of all documents that may be introduced at the arbitration or considered or used by a party’s witness or expert. The arbitrator’s decision and award shall be made and delivered within six months of the selection of the arbitrator. The arbitrator’s decision shall set forth a reasoned basis for any award of damages or finding of liability. The arbitrator shall not have power to award damages in excess of actual compensatory damages and shall not multiply actual damages or award punitive damages, and each party hereby irrevocably waives any claim to such damages.
(c)    The Company, the Optionee, each party to the Agreement and any other holder of Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement (each, a “Party”) covenants and agrees that such party will participate in the arbitration in good faith. This Section 7 applies equally to requests for temporary, preliminary or permanent injunctive relief, except that in the case of temporary or preliminary injunctive relief any party may proceed in court without prior arbitration for the limited purpose of avoiding immediate and irreparable harm.
(d)    Each Party (i) hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any United States District Court of competent jurisdiction for the purpose of enforcing the award or decision

26



in any such proceeding, (ii) hereby waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution (except as protected by applicable law), that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court, and (iii) hereby waives and agrees not to seek any review by any court of any other jurisdiction which may be called upon to grant an enforcement of the judgment of any such court. Each Party hereby consents to service of process by registered mail at the address to which notices are to be given. Each Party agrees that its, his or her submission to jurisdiction and its, his or her consent to service of process by mail is made for the express benefit of each other Party. Final judgment against any Party in any such action, suit or proceeding may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit, action or proceeding on the judgment, or in any other manner provided by or pursuant to the laws of such other jurisdiction.

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
UNDER THE QUALTRICS INTERNATIONAL INC.
2014 STOCK OPTION AND GRANT PLAN
All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Restricted Stock Unit Award Notice and the Plan.
1.Conditions and Vesting of Restricted Stock Units. The Restricted Stock Units are subject to both a time-based condition (the “Time Condition”) and performance-based vesting (the “Performance Vesting”) described in paragraphs (a) and (b) below, both of which must be satisfied prior to the Expiration Date before the Restricted Stock Units will be deemed vested and may be settled in accordance with Section 3 of this Agreement.
(a)Time Condition. The Time Condition shall be satisfied in accordance with the Time-Based Vesting Schedule set forth in the Award Notice.
(b)Performance Vesting. The Restricted Stock Units shall only satisfy the Performance Vesting on the first to occur of (i) immediately prior to a Sale Event or (ii) the Company’s Initial Public Offering, in either case, occurring prior to the Expiration Date.
(c)Vesting Date. Each date as of which both the Time Condition and Performance Vesting described in paragraphs (a) and (b) have been satisfied with respect to any Restricted Stock Units shall be referred to as a “Vesting Date.” No Vesting Date shall occur after the Expiration Date. To the extent the Restricted Stock Units have not satisfied both the Time Condition and the Performance Vesting, such Restricted Stock Units shall expire and be of no further force or effect on the Expiration Date.
2.Termination of Service Relationship. If the Grantee’s Service Relationship with the Company terminates for any reason (including death or disability) prior to the satisfaction of the Time Condition set forth in Section 1(a) above, any Restricted Stock Units that have not satisfied the Time Condition as of such date shall automatically and without notice terminate and be forfeited, and neither the Grantee nor any of his or her successors, heirs, assigns, or personal representatives will thereafter have any further rights or interests in such forfeited Restricted Stock Units. Any Restricted Stock Units that have satisfied the Time Condition as of such date shall remain subject to the Performance Vesting set forth in Section 1(b) above, but shall expire and be of no further force or effect on the first to occur of (a) three years after the date on which the Grantee’s Service Relationship with the Company terminates, or (b) the Expiration Date.
3.Receipt of Shares of Stock. As soon as practicable following each Vesting Date, but in no event later than March 15th of the year following the calendar year in which the Vesting Date occurs, the Company shall issue to the Grantee the number of Shares equal to the aggregate number of Restricted Stock Units that have satisfied the Time Condition and Performance Vesting pursuant to Section 1 of this Agreement on such Vesting Date and the Grantee shall thereafter have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to such Shares.

42



4.Incorporation of Plan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Award shall be subject to and governed by all the terms and conditions of the Plan.
5.Transfer Restrictions.
(a)Award Not Transferrable. The Award may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise encumbered or disposed of by the Grantee.
(b)Beneficiary Designation. This Award is personal to the Grantee. The Grantee may elect to designate a beneficiary by providing written notice of the name of such beneficiary to the Company and may revoke or change such designation at any time by filing written notice of revocation or change with the Company. Such beneficiary may be entitled to benefits under this Award in the event of the death of the Grantee after a Vesting Date but before the settlement of this Award in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Award. If the Grantee does not designate a beneficiary, or if the designated beneficiary predeceases the Grantee, the legal representative of the Grantee or the Grantee’s estate shall be the beneficiary.
(c)Restrictions on Transfer of Shares. The Shares acquired upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units may not be sold, transferred or otherwise encumbered or disposed of until (i) the Restricted Stock Units have vested as provided in Section 1 of this Agreement and (ii) Shares have been issued to the Grantee in accordance with the terms of the Plan and this Agreement. In addition, the Shares acquired upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9 of the Plan.
(d)Lock-Up. If requested by the Company, a Grantee shall not sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Shares (including, without limitation, pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act) held by him or her for such period following the effective date of a public offering by the Company of Shares as the Company shall specify reasonably and in good faith. If requested by the underwriter engaged by the Company, the Grantee shall execute a separate letter confirming his or her agreement to comply with this Section.
6.Tax Withholding.
(a)Grantee Responsible for Tax-Related Items. Regardless of any action that the Company or the Grantee’s actual employer or a Subsidiary or affiliate of the Company with which the Grantee has a Service Relationship if the Grantee is a consultant (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account, or other tax-related items related to the Grantee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to him or her (“Tax-Related Items”), the Grantee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Grantee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. The Grantee further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units, including, without limitation, the grant, vesting, or settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such issuance, and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any

43



aspect of the Restricted Stock Units to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. The Grantee shall not make any claim against the Company or its Board of Directors, officers or employees related to Tax-Related Items arising from this Award or the Grantee’s other compensation. Furthermore, if the Grantee has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Grantee acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
(b)Withholding. The Grantee shall, not later than the date as of which the receipt or settlement of this Award becomes a taxable event for Federal income tax purposes, satisfy any Federal, state, and local taxes required by law to be withheld on account of such taxable event. Such withholding shall be satisfied, in the Company’s sole discretion, (i) by the Company withholding from Shares to be issued to the Grantee a number of Shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value that would satisfy the minimum withholding amount due; (ii) with respect to a Grantee who is not an executive officer or director of the Company nor subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16 of the Exchange Act at the time of such withholding, by the Company causing its transfer agent to sell from the number of shares of Stock to be issued to the Grantee, the number of shares of Stock necessary to satisfy the Federal, state and local taxes required by law to be withheld from the Grantee on account of such transfer; or (iii) by requiring the Grantee to pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee for payment of, the required tax withholding obligation.
7.Section 409A of the Code. This Award is intended to constitute a “short term deferral” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code to the greatest extent possible and the Award will be administered and interpreted in accordance with that intent. To the extent that any provision of this Agreement is ambiguous as to its exemption from Section 409A of the Code, the provision shall be read in such a manner so that all payments hereunder are exempt from Section 409A of the Code. Solely for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, each issuance of Shares on (or shortly following) a Vesting Date shall be considered a separate payment. The Company makes no representation or warranty and shall have no liability to the Grantee or any other person if any provisions of this Award are determined to constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code but do not satisfy an exemption from, or the conditions of, such Section.
8.Miscellaneous Provisions.
(a)Equitable Relief. The parties hereto agree and declare that legal remedies may be inadequate to enforce the provisions of this Agreement and that equitable relief, including specific performance and injunctive relief, may be used to enforce the provisions of this Agreement.
(b)Adjustments for Changes in Capital Structure. If, as a result of any reorganization, recapitalization, reincorporation, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar change in the Shares, the outstanding Shares are increased or decreased or are exchanged for a different number or kind of securities of the Company, the

44



restrictions contained in this Agreement shall apply with equal force to additional and/or substitute securities, if any, received by the Grantee in exchange for, or by virtue of his or her ownership of, this Award or Shares acquired pursuant thereto.
(c)Change and Modifications. This Agreement may not be orally changed, modified or terminated, nor shall any oral waiver of any of its terms be effective. This Agreement may be changed, modified or terminated only by an agreement in writing signed by the Company and the Grantee.
(d)Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware as to matters within the scope thereof, and as to all other matters shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Utah, without regard to conflict of law principles that would result in the application of any law other than the law of the State of Utah.
(e)Headings. The headings are intended only for convenience in finding the subject matter and do not constitute part of the text of this Agreement and shall not be considered in the interpretation of this Agreement.
(f)Saving Clause. If any provision(s) of this Agreement shall be determined to be illegal or unenforceable, such determination shall in no manner affect the legality or enforceability of any other provision hereof.
(g)Notices. All notices, requests, consents and other communications shall be in writing and be deemed given when delivered personally, by telex or facsimile transmission or when received if mailed by first class registered or certified mail, postage prepaid. Notices to the Company or the Grantee shall be addressed as set forth underneath their signatures below, or to such other address or addresses as may have been furnished by such party in writing to the other.
(h)Benefit and Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their respective successors, permitted assigns, and legal representatives. The Company has the right to assign this Agreement, and such assignee shall become entitled to all the rights of the Company hereunder to the extent of such assignment.
(i)Counterparts. For the convenience of the parties and to facilitate execution, this Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same document.
(j)Integration. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to this Award and supersedes all prior agreements and discussions between the parties concerning such subject matter.

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
UNDER THE QUALTRICS INTERNATIONAL INC.
2014 STOCK OPTION AND GRANT PLAN
All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Restricted Stock Unit Award Notice and the Plan.
1.Conditions and Vesting of Restricted Stock Units. The Restricted Stock Units are subject to both a time-based condition (the “Time Condition”) and performance-based vesting (the “Performance Vesting”) described in paragraphs (a) and (b) below, both of which must be satisfied prior to the Expiration Date before the Restricted Stock Units will be deemed vested and may be settled in accordance with Section 3 of this Agreement.
(a)Time Condition. The Time Condition shall be satisfied in accordance with the Time-Based Vesting Schedule set forth in the Award Notice.
(b)Performance Vesting. The Restricted Stock Units shall only satisfy the Performance Vesting on the first to occur of (i) immediately prior to a Sale Event or (ii) the Company’s Initial Public Offering, in either case, occurring prior to the Expiration Date.
(c)Vesting Date. Each date as of which both the Time Condition and Performance Vesting described in paragraphs (a) and (b) have been satisfied with respect to any Restricted Stock Units shall be referred to as a “Vesting Date.” No Vesting Date shall occur after the Expiration Date. To the extent the Restricted Stock Units have not satisfied both the Time Condition and the Performance Vesting, such Restricted Stock Units shall expire and be of no further force or effect on the Expiration Date.
2.Termination of Service Relationship. If the Grantee’s Service Relationship with the Company terminates for any reason (including death or disability) prior to the satisfaction of the Performance Vesting set forth in Section 1(b) above, all Restricted Stock Units (whether or not such Restricted Stock Units have satisfied the Time Condition as of such date) shall automatically and without notice terminate and be forfeited, and neither the Grantee nor any of his or her successors, heirs, assigns, or personal representatives will thereafter have any further rights or interests in such forfeited Restricted Stock Units. If the Grantee’s Service Relationship with the Company terminates for any reason (including death or disability) following the satisfaction of the Performance Vesting but prior to the satisfaction of the Time Condition set forth in Section 1(a) above, any Restricted Stock Units that have not satisfied the Time Condition as of such date shall automatically and without notice terminate and be forfeited, and neither the Grantee nor any of his or her successors, heirs, assigns, or personal representatives will thereafter have any further rights or interests in such forfeited Restricted Stock Units.
3.Receipt of Shares of Stock. As soon as practicable following each Vesting Date, but in no event later than March 15th of the year following the calendar year in which the Vesting Date occurs, the Company shall issue to the Grantee the number of Shares equal to the aggregate number of Restricted Stock Units that have satisfied the Time Condition and

50



Performance Vesting pursuant to Section 1 of this Agreement on such Vesting Date and the Grantee shall thereafter have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to such Shares.
4.Incorporation of Plan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Award shall be subject to and governed by all the terms and conditions of the Plan.
5.Transfer Restrictions.
(a)Award Not Transferrable. The Award may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise encumbered or disposed of by the Grantee.
(b)Beneficiary Designation. This Award is personal to the Grantee. The Grantee may elect to designate a beneficiary by providing written notice of the name of such beneficiary to the Company and may revoke or change such designation at any time by filing written notice of revocation or change with the Company. Such beneficiary may be entitled to benefits under this Award in the event of the death of the Grantee after a Vesting Date but before the settlement of this Award in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Award. If the Grantee does not designate a beneficiary, or if the designated beneficiary predeceases the Grantee, the legal representative of the Grantee or the Grantee’s estate shall be the beneficiary.
(c)Restrictions on Transfer of Shares. The Shares acquired upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units may not be sold, transferred or otherwise encumbered or disposed of until (i) the Restricted Stock Units have vested as provided in Section 1 of this Agreement and (ii) Shares have been issued to the Grantee in accordance with the terms of the Plan and this Agreement. In addition, the Shares acquired upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9 of the Plan.
(d)Lock-Up. If requested by the Company, a Grantee shall not sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Shares (including, without limitation, pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act) held by him or her for such period following the effective date of a public offering by the Company of Shares as the Company shall specify reasonably and in good faith. If requested by the underwriter engaged by the Company, the Grantee shall execute a separate letter confirming his or her agreement to comply with this Section.
6.Tax Withholding.
(a)Grantee Responsible for Tax-Related Items. Regardless of any action that the Company or the Grantee’s actual employer or a Subsidiary or affiliate of the Company with which the Grantee has a Service Relationship if the Grantee is a consultant (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account, or other tax-related items related to the Grantee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to him or her (“Tax-Related Items”), the Grantee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Grantee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. The Grantee further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the

51



treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units, including, without limitation, the grant, vesting, or settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such issuance, and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. The Grantee shall not make any claim against the Company or its Board of Directors, officers or employees related to Tax-Related Items arising from this Award or the Grantee’s other compensation. Furthermore, if the Grantee has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Grantee acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
(b)Withholding. The Grantee shall, not later than the date as of which the receipt or settlement of this Award becomes a taxable event for Federal income tax purposes, satisfy any Federal, state, and local taxes required by law to be withheld on account of such taxable event. Such withholding shall be satisfied, in the Company’s sole discretion, (i) by the Company withholding from Shares to be issued to the Grantee a number of Shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value that would satisfy the minimum withholding amount due; (ii) with respect to a Grantee who is not an executive officer or director of the Company nor subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16 of the Exchange Act at the time of such withholding, by the Company causing its transfer agent to sell from the number of shares of Stock to be issued to the Grantee, the number of shares of Stock necessary to satisfy the Federal, state and local taxes required by law to be withheld from the Grantee on account of such transfer; or (iii) by requiring the Grantee to pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee for payment of, the required tax withholding obligation.
7.Section 409A of the Code. This Award is intended to constitute a “short term deferral” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code to the greatest extent possible and the Award will be administered and interpreted in accordance with that intent. To the extent that any provision of this Agreement is ambiguous as to its exemption from Section 409A of the Code, the provision shall be read in such a manner so that all payments hereunder are exempt from Section 409A of the Code. Solely for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, each issuance of Shares on (or shortly following) a Vesting Date shall be considered a separate payment. The Company makes no representation or warranty and shall have no liability to the Grantee or any other person if any provisions of this Award are determined to constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code but do not satisfy an exemption from, or the conditions of, such Section.
8.Miscellaneous Provisions.
(a)Equitable Relief. The parties hereto agree and declare that legal remedies may be inadequate to enforce the provisions of this Agreement and that equitable relief, including specific performance and injunctive relief, may be used to enforce the provisions of this Agreement.

52



(b)Adjustments for Changes in Capital Structure. If, as a result of any reorganization, recapitalization, reincorporation, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar change in the Shares, the outstanding Shares are increased or decreased or are exchanged for a different number or kind of securities of the Company, the restrictions contained in this Agreement shall apply with equal force to additional and/or substitute securities, if any, received by the Grantee in exchange for, or by virtue of his or her ownership of, this Award or Shares acquired pursuant thereto.
(c)Change and Modifications. This Agreement may not be orally changed, modified or terminated, nor shall any oral waiver of any of its terms be effective. This Agreement may be changed, modified or terminated only by an agreement in writing signed by the Company and the Grantee.
(d)Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware as to matters within the scope thereof, and as to all other matters shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Utah, without regard to conflict of law principles that would result in the application of any law other than the law of the State of Utah.
(e)Headings. The headings are intended only for convenience in finding the subject matter and do not constitute part of the text of this Agreement and shall not be considered in the interpretation of this Agreement.
(f)Saving Clause. If any provision(s) of this Agreement shall be determined to be illegal or unenforceable, such determination shall in no manner affect the legality or enforceability of any other provision hereof.
(g)Notices. All notices, requests, consents and other communications shall be in writing and be deemed given when delivered personally, by telex or facsimile transmission or when received if mailed by first class registered or certified mail, postage prepaid. Notices to the Company or the Grantee shall be addressed as set forth underneath their signatures below, or to such other address or addresses as may have been furnished by such party in writing to the other.
(h)Benefit and Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their respective successors, permitted assigns, and legal representatives. The Company has the right to assign this Agreement, and such assignee shall become entitled to all the rights of the Company hereunder to the extent of such assignment.
(i)Counterparts. For the convenience of the parties and to facilitate execution, this Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same document.

53



(j)Integration. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to this Award and supersedes all prior agreements and discussions between the parties concerning such subject matter.
9.Acknowledgements of the Grantee.
(a)The Grantee represents and agrees that the Shares to be acquired upon settlement of this Award will be acquired for investment, and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof.
(b)In the event that the sale or issuance of Shares under the Plan is not registered under the Securities Act but an exemption is available that requires an investment representation or other representation, the Grantee shall represent and agree at the time of settlement of this Award resulting in the transfer of Shares that the Shares being acquired are being acquired for investment, and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof, and shall make such other representations as are deemed necessary or appropriate by the Company and its counsel.
(c)Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary or affiliate is obligated by or as a result of the Plan or this Agreement to continue the Grantee’s Service Relationship, and neither the Plan nor this Agreement shall interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Subsidiary or affiliate to terminate the Service Relationship of the Grantee at any time.
(d)The Grantee understands that the Shares may not be registered under the Securities Act (it being understood that the Shares are being issued and sold in reliance on the exemption provided in Rule 701 thereunder) or any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws and may not be sold or otherwise transferred or disposed of in the absence of an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and under any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws (or exemptions from the registration requirement thereof).
(e)The Grantee understands and agrees that he or she may not sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of the Shares for a period of time following the effective date of a public offering by the Company as described in Section 5(d) hereof.
10.Dispute Resolution.
(a)Except as provided below, any dispute arising out of or relating to the Plan or this Award, this Agreement, or the breach, termination or validity of the Plan, this Award or this Agreement, shall be finally settled by binding arbitration conducted expeditiously in accordance with the J.A.M.S./Endispute Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “J.A.M.S. Rules”). The arbitration shall be governed by the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sections 1 16, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. The place of arbitration shall be Salt Lake City, Utah.
(b)The arbitration shall commence within 60 days of the date on which a written demand for arbitration is filed by any party hereto. In connection with the arbitration

54



proceeding, the arbitrator shall have the power to order the production of documents by each party and any third-party witnesses. In addition, each party may take up to three depositions as of right, and the arbitrator may in his or her discretion allow additional depositions upon good cause shown by the moving party. However, the arbitrator shall not have the power to order the answering of interrogatories or the response to requests for admission. In connection with any arbitration, each party to the arbitration shall provide to the other, no later than seven business days before the date of the arbitration, the identity of all persons that may testify at the arbitration and a copy of all documents that may be introduced at the arbitration or considered or used by a party’s witness or expert. The arbitrator’s decision and award shall be made and delivered within six months of the selection of the arbitrator. The arbitrator’s decision shall set forth a reasoned basis for any award of damages or finding of liability. The arbitrator shall not have power to award damages in excess of actual compensatory damages and shall not multiply actual damages or award punitive damages, and each party hereby irrevocably waives any claim to such damages.
(c)The Company, the Grantee, each party to the Agreement and any other holder of Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement (each, a “Party”) covenants and agrees that such party will participate in the arbitration in good faith. This Section 10 applies equally to requests for temporary, preliminary or permanent injunctive relief, except that in the case of temporary or preliminary injunctive relief any party may proceed in court without prior arbitration for the limited purpose of avoiding immediate and irreparable harm.
(d)Each Party (i) hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any federal or state court in Salt Lake County, Utah for the purpose of enforcing the award or decision in any such proceeding, (ii) hereby waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution (except as protected by applicable law), that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court, and (iii) hereby waives and agrees not to seek any review by any court of any other jurisdiction which may be called upon to grant an enforcement of the judgment of any such court. Each Party hereby consents to service of process by registered mail at the address to which notices are to be given. Each Party agrees that its, his or her submission to jurisdiction and its, his or her consent to service of process by mail is made for the express benefit of each other Party. Final judgment against any Party in any such action, suit or proceeding may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit, action or proceeding on the judgment, or in any other manner provided by or pursuant to the laws of such other jurisdiction.

(a)    Award Not Transferrable. The Award may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise encumbered or disposed of by the Grantee.
(b)    Beneficiary Designation. This Award is personal to the Grantee. The Grantee may elect to designate a beneficiary by providing written notice of the name of such beneficiary to the Company and may revoke or change such designation at any time by filing written notice of revocation or change with the Company. Such beneficiary may be entitled to benefits under this Award in the event of the death of the Grantee after a Vesting Date but before the settlement of this Award in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Award. If the Grantee



does not designate a beneficiary, or if the designated beneficiary predeceases the Grantee, the legal representative of the Grantee or the Grantee’s estate shall be the beneficiary.
(c)    Restrictions on Transfer of Shares. The Shares acquired upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units may not be sold, transferred or otherwise encumbered or disposed of until (i) the Restricted Stock Units have vested as provided in Section 1 of this Agreement and (ii) Shares have been issued to the Grantee in accordance with the terms of the Plan and this Agreement. In addition, the Shares acquired upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9 of the Plan.
(d)    Lock-Up. If requested by the Company, a Grantee shall not sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Shares (including, without limitation, pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act) held by him or her for such period following the effective date of a public offering by the Company of Shares as the Company shall specify reasonably and in good faith. If requested by the underwriter engaged by the Company, the Grantee shall execute a separate letter confirming his or her agreement to comply with this Section.
6.    Tax Withholding.
(a)    Grantee Responsible for Tax-Related Items. Regardless of any action that the Company or the Grantee’s actual employer or a Subsidiary or affiliate of the Company with which the Grantee has a Service Relationship if the Grantee is a consultant (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account, or other tax-related items related to the Grantee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to him or her (“Tax-Related Items”), the Grantee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Grantee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. The Grantee further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units, including, without limitation, the grant, vesting, or settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such issuance, and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. The Grantee shall not make any claim against the Company or its Board of Directors, officers or employees related to Tax-Related Items arising from this Award or the Grantee’s other compensation. Furthermore, if the Grantee has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Grantee acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
(b)    Withholding. The Grantee shall, not later than the date as of which the receipt or settlement of this Award becomes a taxable event for Federal income tax purposes, satisfy any Federal, state, and local taxes required by law to be withheld on account of such taxable event. Such withholding shall be satisfied, in the Company’s sole discretion, (i) by the Company withholding from Shares to be issued to the Grantee a number of Shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value that would satisfy the minimum withholding amount due; (ii) with respect to a Grantee who is not an executive officer or director of the Company nor subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16 of the Exchange Act at the time of such withholding, by the Company causing its transfer agent to sell from the number of shares of Stock to be issued to the Grantee, the number of shares of Stock necessary to satisfy the Federal, state and local taxes required by law to be withheld from the Grantee on account of such transfer; or (iii) by requiring the Grantee to pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee for payment of, the required tax withholding obligation.
7.    Section 409A of the Code. This Award is intended to constitute a “short term deferral” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code to the greatest extent possible and the Award will be administered and interpreted in accordance with that intent. To the extent that any provision of this Agreement is ambiguous as to its exemption from Section 409A of the Code, the provision shall be read in such a manner so that all payments hereunder are exempt from Section 409A of the Code. Solely for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, each issuance of Shares on (or shortly following) a Vesting Date shall be considered a separate payment. The Company



makes no representation or warranty and shall have no liability to the Grantee or any other person if any provisions of this Award are determined to constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code but do not satisfy an exemption from, or the conditions of, such Section.
8.    Miscellaneous Provisions.
(a)    Equitable Relief. The parties hereto agree and declare that legal remedies may be inadequate to enforce the provisions of this Agreement and that equitable relief, including specific performance and injunctive relief, may be used to enforce the provisions of this Agreement.
(b)     Adjustments for Changes in Capital Structure. If, as a result of any reorganization, recapitalization, reincorporation, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar change in the Shares, the outstanding Shares are increased or decreased or are exchanged for a different number or kind of securities of the Company, the restrictions contained in this Agreement shall apply with equal force to additional and/or substitute securities, if any, received by the Grantee in exchange for, or by virtue of his or her ownership of, this Award or Shares acquired pursuant thereto.
(c)    Change and Modifications. This Agreement may not be orally changed, modified or terminated, nor shall any oral waiver of any of its terms be effective. This Agreement may be changed, modified or terminated only by an agreement in writing signed by the Company and the Grantee.
(d)    Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware as to matters within the scope thereof, and as to all other matters shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Utah, without regard to conflict of law principles that would result in the application of any law other than the law of the State of Utah.
(e)    Headings. The headings are intended only for convenience in finding the subject matter and do not constitute part of the text of this Agreement and shall not be considered in the interpretation of this Agreement.
(f)    Saving Clause. If any provision(s) of this Agreement shall be determined to be illegal or unenforceable, such determination shall in no manner affect the legality or enforceability of any other provision hereof.
(g)    Notices. All notices, requests, consents and other communications shall be in writing and be deemed given when delivered personally, by telex or facsimile transmission or when received if mailed by first class registered or certified mail, postage prepaid. Notices to the Company or the Grantee shall be addressed as set forth underneath their signatures below, or to such other address or addresses as may have been furnished by such party in writing to the other.
(h)    Benefit and Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their respective successors, permitted assigns, and legal representatives. The Company has the right to assign this Agreement, and such assignee shall become entitled to all the rights of the Company hereunder to the extent of such assignment.
(i)    Counterparts. For the convenience of the parties and to facilitate execution, this Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same document.
(j)    Integration. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to this Award and supersedes all prior agreements and discussions between the parties concerning such subject matter.



9.    Acknowledgements of the Grantee.
(a)    The Grantee represents and agrees that the Shares to be acquired upon settlement of this Award will be acquired for investment, and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof.
(b)    In the event that the sale or issuance of Shares under the Plan is not registered under the Securities Act but an exemption is available that requires an investment representation or other representation, the Grantee shall represent and agree at the time of settlement of this Award resulting in the transfer of Shares that the Shares being acquired are being acquired for investment, and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof, and shall make such other representations as are deemed necessary or appropriate by the Company and its counsel.
(c)    Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary or affiliate is obligated by or as a result of the Plan or this Agreement to continue the Grantee’s Service Relationship, and neither the Plan nor this Agreement shall interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Subsidiary or affiliate to terminate the Service Relationship of the Grantee at any time.
(d)    The Grantee understands that the Shares may not be registered under the Securities Act (it being understood that the Shares are being issued and sold in reliance on the exemption provided in Rule 701 thereunder) or any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws and may not be sold or otherwise transferred or disposed of in the absence of an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and under any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws (or exemptions from the registration requirement thereof).
(e)    The Grantee understands and agrees that he or she may not sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of the Shares for a period of time following the effective date of a public offering by the Company as described in Section 5(d) hereof.
10.    Dispute Resolution.
(a)    Except as provided below, any dispute arising out of or relating to the Plan or this Award, this Agreement, or the breach, termination or validity of the Plan, this Award or this Agreement, shall be finally settled by binding arbitration conducted expeditiously in accordance with the J.A.M.S./Endispute Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “J.A.M.S. Rules”). The arbitration shall be governed by the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sections 1 16, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. The place of arbitration shall be Salt Lake City, Utah.
(b)    The arbitration shall commence within 60 days of the date on which a written demand for arbitration is filed by any party hereto. In connection with the arbitration proceeding, the arbitrator shall have the power to order the production of documents by each party and any third-party witnesses. In addition, each party may take up to three depositions as of right, and the arbitrator may in his or her discretion allow additional depositions upon good cause shown by the moving party. However, the arbitrator shall not have the power to order the answering of interrogatories or the response to requests for admission. In connection with any arbitration, each party to the arbitration shall provide to the other, no later than seven business days before the date of the arbitration, the identity of all persons that may testify at the arbitration and a copy of all documents that may be introduced at the arbitration or considered or used by a party’s witness or expert. The arbitrator’s decision and award shall be made and delivered within six months of the selection of the arbitrator. The arbitrator’s decision shall set forth a reasoned basis for any award of damages or finding of liability. The arbitrator shall not have power to award damages in excess of actual compensatory damages and shall not multiply actual damages or award punitive damages, and each party hereby irrevocably waives any claim to such damages.
(c)    The Company, the Grantee, each party to the Agreement and any other holder of Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement (each, a “Party”) covenants and agrees that such party will participate in the arbitration in good faith. This Section 10 applies equally to requests for temporary, preliminary or permanent injunctive relief, except that in the case of temporary or preliminary injunctive relief any party may proceed in court without prior arbitration for the limited purpose of avoiding immediate and irreparable harm.



(d)    Each Party (i) hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any federal or state court in Salt Lake County, Utah for the purpose of enforcing the award or decision in any such proceeding, (ii) hereby waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution (except as protected by applicable law), that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court, and (iii) hereby waives and agrees not to seek any review by any court of any other jurisdiction which may becalled upon to grant an enforcement of the judgment of any such court. Each Party hereby consents to service of process by registered mail at the address to which notices are to be given. Each Party agrees that its, his or her submission to jurisdiction and its, his or her consent to service of process by mail is made for the express benefit of each other Party.

Attachments: Incentive Stock Option Agreement, 2014 Stock Option and Grant Plan



INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
UNDER THE QUALTRICS INTERNATIONAL INC.
2014 STOCK OPTION AND GRANT PLAN
All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Grant Notice and the Plan.
1.    Vesting, Exercisability and Termination.
(a)    No portion of this Stock Option may be exercised until such portion shall have vested and become exercisable.
(b)    Except as set forth below, and subject to the determination of the Committee in its sole discretion to accelerate the vesting schedule hereunder, this Stock Option shall be vested and exercisable on the respective dates indicated below:
(i)This Stock Option shall initially be unvested and unexercisable.
(ii)This Stock Option shall vest and become exercisable in accordance with the
Vesting Schedule set forth in the Grant Notice.
(c)    Termination. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Committee, if the Optionee’s Service Relationship is terminated, the period within which to exercise this Stock Option will be subject to earlier termination as set forth below (and if not exercised within such period, shall thereafter terminate subject, in each case, to Section 3(c) of the Plan):
(i)    Termination Due to Death or Disability. If the Optionee’s Service Relationship terminates by reason of such Optionee’s death or Disability, this Stock Option may be exercised, to the extent exercisable on the date of such termination, by the Optionee, the Optionee’s legal representative or legatee for a period of 12 months from the date of death or Disability or until the Expiration Date, if earlier.
(ii)    Other Termination. If the Optionee’s Service Relationship terminates for any reason other than death or Disability, unless a longer period of time is provided by the Committee, this Stock Option may be exercised, to the extent exercisable on the date of termination, for a period of 365 days from the date of termination or until the Expiration Date, if earlier.
For purposes hereof, the Committee’s determination of the reason for termination of the Optionee’s Service Relationship shall be conclusive and binding on the Optionee and his or her representatives or legatees. Any portion of this Stock Option that is not vested and exercisable on the date of termination of the Service Relationship shall terminate immediately and be null and void.
(d)    It is understood and intended that this Stock Option is intended to qualify as an “incentive stock option” as defined in Section 422 of the Code to the extent permitted under applicable law. Accordingly, the Optionee understands that in order to obtain the benefits of an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Code, no sale or other disposition may be made of Shares for which incentive stock option treatment is desired within the one-year period beginning on the day after the day of the transfer of such Shares to him or her, nor within the two-year period beginning on the day after Grant Date of this Stock Option and further that this Stock Option must be exercised within three months after termination of employment as an employee (or 12 months in the case of death or disability) to qualify as an incentive stock option. If the Optionee disposes (whether by sale, gift, transfer or otherwise) of any such Shares within either of these periods, he or she will notify the Company within 30 days after such disposition. The Optionee also agrees to provide the Company with any information concerning any such dispositions required by the Company for tax purposes. Further, to the extent this Stock Option and any other incentive stock options of the Optionee having



an aggregate Fair Market Value in excess of $100,000 (determined as of the Grant Date) first become exercisable in any year, such options will not qualify as incentive stock options.
2.    Exercise of Stock Option.
(a)    The Optionee may exercise this Stock Option only in the following manner: Prior to the Expiration Date, the Optionee may deliver a Stock Option exercise notice (an “Exercise Notice”) in the form of Appendix A hereto indicating his or her election to purchase some or all of the Shares with respect to which this Stock Option is then exercisable. Such notice shall specify the number of Shares to be purchased. Payment of the purchase price may be made by one or more of the methods described in Section 5 of the Plan, subject to the limitations contained in such Section of the Plan, including the requirement that the Committee specifically approve in advance certain payment methods.
(b)    Notwithstanding any other provision hereof or of the Plan, no portion of this Stock Option shall be exercisable after the Expiration Date.
3.    Incorporation of Plan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Stock Option shall be subject to and governed by all the terms and conditions of the Plan.
4.    Transferability of Stock Option. This Stock Option is personal to the Optionee and is not transferable by the Optionee in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. The Stock Option may be exercised during the Optionee’s lifetime only by the Optionee (or by the Optionee’s guardian or personal representative in the event of the Optionee’s incapacity). The Optionee may elect to designate a beneficiary by providing written notice of the name of such beneficiary to the Company, and may revoke or change such designation at any time by filing written notice of revocation or change with the Company; such beneficiary may exercise the Optionee’s Stock Option in the event of the Optionee’s death to the extent provided herein. If the Optionee does not designate a beneficiary, or if the designated beneficiary predeceases the Optionee, the legal representative of the Optionee may exercise this Stock Option to the extent provided herein in the event of the Optionee’s death.
5.    Restrictions on Transfer of Shares. The Shares acquired upon exercise of the Stock Option shall be subject to certain transfer restrictions and other limitations including, without limitation, the provisions contained in Section 9 of the Plan; provided, however, notwithstanding anything in the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, Section 9(c) of the Plan shall not apply to the Shares acquired upon exercise of the Stock Option.
6.    Miscellaneous Provisions.
(a)    Equitable Relief. The parties hereto agree and declare that legal remedies may be inadequate to enforce the provisions of this Agreement and that equitable relief, including specific performance and injunctive relief, may be used to enforce the provisions of this Agreement.
(b)    Adjustments for Changes in Capital Structure. If, as a result of any reorganization, recapitalization, reincorporation, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar change in the Common Stock, the outstanding shares of Common Stock are increased or decreased or are exchanged for a different number or kind of securities of the Company, the restrictions contained in this Agreement shall apply with equal force to additional and/or substitute securities, if any, received by the Optionee in exchange for, or by virtue of his or her ownership of, this Stock Option or Shares acquired pursuant thereto.
(c)    Change and Modifications. This Agreement may not be orally changed, modified or terminated, nor shall any oral waiver of any of its terms be effective. This Agreement may be changed, modified or terminated only by an agreement in writing signed by the Company and the Optionee.
(d)    Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware as to matters within the scope thereof, and as to all other matters shall be



governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of Utah, without regard to conflict of law principles that would result in the application of any law other than the law of the State of Utah.
(e)    Headings. The headings are intended only for convenience in finding the subject matter and do not constitute part of the text of this Agreement and shall not be considered in the interpretation of this Agreement.
(f)    Saving Clause. If any provision(s) of this Agreement shall be determined to be illegal or unenforceable, such determination shall in no manner affect the legality or enforceability of any other provision hereof.
(g)    Notices. All notices, requests, consents and other communications shall be in writing and be deemed given when delivered personally, by telex or facsimile transmission or when received if mailed by first class registered or certified mail, postage prepaid. Notices to the Company or the Optionee shall be addressed as set forth underneath their signatures below, or to such other address or addresses as may have been furnished by such party in writing to the other.
(h)    Benefit and Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their respective successors, assigns, and legal representatives. The Company has the right to assign this Agreement, and such assignee shall become entitled to all the rights of the Company hereunder to the extent of such assignment.
(i)    Counterparts. For the convenience of the parties and to facilitate execution, this Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same document.
(j)    Integration. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to this Stock Option and supersedes all prior agreements and discussions between the parties concerning such subject matter.
7.    Dispute Resolution.
(a)    Except as provided below, any dispute arising out of or relating to the Plan or this Stock Option, this Agreement, or the breach, termination or validity of the Plan, this Stock Option or this Agreement, shall be finally settled by binding arbitration conducted expeditiously in accordance with the J.A.M.S./Endispute Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “J.A.M.S. Rules”). The arbitration shall be governed by the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sections 1 16, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. The place of arbitration shall be Salt Lake City, Utah.
(b)    The arbitration shall commence within 60 days of the date on which a written demand for arbitration is filed by any party hereto. In connection with the arbitration proceeding, the arbitrator shall have the power to order the production of documents by each party and any third-party witnesses. In addition, each party may take up to three depositions as of right, and the arbitrator may in his or her discretion allow additional depositions upon good cause shown by the moving party. However, the arbitrator shall not have the power to order the answering of interrogatories or the response to requests for admission. In connection with any arbitration, each party to the arbitration shall provide to the other, no later than seven business days before the date of the arbitration, the identity of all persons that may testify at the arbitration and a copy of all documents that may be introduced at the arbitration or considered or used by a party’s witness or expert. The arbitrator’s decision and award shall be made and delivered within six months of the selection of the arbitrator. The arbitrator’s decision shall set forth a reasoned basis for any award of damages or finding of liability. The arbitrator shall not have power to award damages in excess of actual compensatory damages and shall not multiply actual damages or award punitive damages, and each party hereby irrevocably waives any claim to such damages.
(c)    The Company, the Optionee, each party to the Agreement and any other holder of Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement (each, a “Party”) covenants and agrees that such party will participate in the arbitration in good faith. This Section 7 applies equally to requests for temporary, preliminary or permanent injunctive relief, except



that in the case of temporary or preliminary injunctive relief any party may proceed in court without prior arbitration for the limited purpose of avoiding immediate and irreparable harm.
(d)    Each Party (i) hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any United States District Court of competent jurisdiction for the purpose of enforcing the award or decision in any such proceeding, (ii) hereby waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution (except as protected by applicable law), that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court, and (iii) hereby waives and agrees not to seek any review by any court of any other jurisdiction which may be called upon to grant an enforcement of the judgment of any such court. Each Party hereby consents to service of process by registered mail at the address to which notices are to be given. Each Party agrees that its, his or her submission to jurisdiction and its, his or her consent to service of process by mail is made for the express benefit of each other Party.

Exhibit
Exhibit 10.8

QUALTRICS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
This Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made by and between Qualtrics, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Qualtrics”), and the employee whose signature appears below (“Employee”) and is effective as of Employee’s date of signature (the “Effective Date”). Qualtrics is in the business of providing software and services related to surveys, data collection, data analysis, reporting and dashboards, market research, customer experience, and/or employee insights (collectively, the “Business”). Employee desires to be employed by Qualtrics, and as a condition of such employment, Employee agrees to the terms and covenants in this Agreement. Employee acknowledges the consideration Employee is receiving, including without limitation the compensation and other benefits set forth in this Agreement, Employee’s continued employment with Qualtrics, and any awards of Restricted Stock Units or other forms of equity in Qualtrics or its affiliates. Employee acknowledges that Employee’s execution of this Agreement constitutes material inducement for Qualtrics to enter into any agreements relating to such awards. Qualtrics and Employee further agree as follows:
(1)Employment. Qualtrics hereby employs, or continues to employ, Employee, and Employee agrees to be employed, or to continue to be employed, by Qualtrics. Employee will devote Employee’s time and attention to achieving the purposes and discharging the responsibilities assigned to Employee. Employee will comply with all rules, policies and procedures of Qualtrics as modified from time to time, including without limitation rules, policies and procedures set forth in the Qualtrics’ employee handbook and similar materials. Employee will perform all of Employee’s responsibilities in compliance with all applicable laws and will ensure that the operations that Employee manages or participates in are in compliance with all applicable laws. Employee may be given access to company property for use during their employment at Qualtrics, including a laptop or other computer equipment (“Hardware”). Qualtrics reserves the right to inspect Employee’s loaned Hardware for violation of any security policy. During Employee’s employment, Employee will not engage in any other business activity that, in the reasonable judgment of Qualtrics, conflicts with the duties of Employee under this Agreement, whether or not such activity is pursued for gain, profit or other pecuniary advantage.
(2)At-Will Employment. Employee’s employment with Qualtrics is “at-will.” This means that Employee’s employment is not for any specified period of time and can be terminated by Employee or by Qualtrics at any time, with or without advance notice or additional payment, with or without cause and for any reason or no reason at all. It also means that Employee’s job duties, title, responsibilities, reporting level, compensation and benefits, as well as Qualtrics’ personnel policies and procedures, may be changed at any time, with or without notice for any reason or no reason at all, in Qualtrics’ sole and absolute discretion. The “at-will” nature of Employee’s employment shall remain unchanged during Employee’s tenure as an employee and may not be changed, except in a writing expressly stating its intent to alter the terms of this Agreement that is signed by Employee and an executive officer of Qualtrics.
(3)Compensation; Other Benefits. Employee’s compensation will be determined at the commencement of employment, and may increase or decrease from time to time in the sole discretion of Qualtrics. Compensation is payable in installments, subject to withholdings and deductions as required or permitted by law. Employee will be eligible to participate in employee benefit programs that are generally available to Qualtrics’ U.S. employees, which may include programs such as medical insurance, 401(k), disability and life insurance plans. Nothing herein shall require the adoption or maintenance of any such program or plan. Employee will be provided such holidays, sick leave and vacation as Qualtrics makes available to its employees generally. To the extent permitted by law, Employee consents to a deduction from any amounts Qualtrics owes to Employee to offset any amounts Employee owes to Qualtrics. In the event that Employee owes Qualtrics some amount, whether or not Qualtrics elects to make any set-off in whole or in part, if Qualtrics does not recover by means of set-off the full amount Employee owes it, Employee agrees to pay the unpaid balance to Qualtrics immediately.

1


(4)Non-solicitation. Employee covenants and agrees that, during Employee’s employment by Qualtrics and for a period of twelve (12) months after the termination of Employee’s employment for any reason, Employee will not:
(a)
Directly or indirectly solicit, employ, hire, offer to hire, become a business partner with or entice away from Qualtrics any person who is or has been within the past twelve (12) months an employee of Qualtrics or any of its affiliates (collectively “Qualtrics Employees”);
(b)
Directly or indirectly solicit, divert, take away, or attempt to solicit, divert or take away,
(i) any prospective customers of Qualtrics or its affiliates that Employee solicited or interacted with during Employee’s period of employment or (ii) any customers of Qualtrics or its affiliates (collectively “Qualtrics Customers”);
(c)
Directly or indirectly persuade or attempt to persuade any Qualtrics Employee, Qualtrics Customer, or consultant, agent, supplier or vendor of Qualtrics or any of its affiliates, to alter or discontinue its relationship with Qualtrics or any of its affiliates or to do any act that is inconsistent with the interests of Qualtrics or any of its affiliates.
Because Qualtrics does business on the internet with customers throughout the United States and around the world, to the fullest extent allowed under applicable law, there is no geographic limitation to this Section (4).
Qualtrics and Employee agree that: (i) this provision does not impose an undue hardship on Employee and is not injurious to the public; (ii) this provision is necessary to protect the business of Qualtrics and its affiliates; (iii) the duration and geographic scope of this Section (4) are reasonable; and (iv) adequate consideration supports this Section (4).
(5)Confidential Information. Employee recognizes that Qualtrics’ business and continued success depend upon the use and protection of confidential and/or proprietary information to which Employee has access (all such information being “Confidential Information”). For purposes of this Agreement, the phrase “Confidential Information” includes without limitation, for Qualtrics and its current or future subsidiaries and affiliates, whether or not specifically designated as confidential or proprietary: (i) information and technology developed by Qualtrics; (ii) all business plans, marketing strategies and trade secrets, including information concerning Qualtrics’ development of new products and services; (iii) information concerning Qualtrics’ existing and prospective markets and customers; (iv) confidential information Qualtrics received from customers, consultants, vendors, or suppliers; (v) financial information relating to Qualtrics and/or Qualtrics’ customers, consultants, vendors, or suppliers; (vi) information concerning any personnel of Qualtrics (other than Employee), including without limitation, skills, compensation and personal information; and (vii) technical and non-technical data and information related to technology, software, software code, software development tools, software programs, designs, specifications, compilations, inventions, improvements, methods, processes, procedures and techniques; provided, however, that “Confidential Information” does not include information that (a) was lawfully in Employee’s possession without confidentiality restrictions prior to disclosure of such information by Qualtrics; (b) was, or at any time becomes, available in the public domain other than through a violation of this Agreement; (c) is documented by Employee as having been developed by Employee independently and outside the scope of Employee’s employment; or (d) is furnished to Employee by a third party not under an obligation of confidentiality to Qualtrics. Employee agrees that during Employee’s employment and after termination of such employment, irrespective of cause, Employee will not directly or indirectly use or divulge, or permit others to use or divulge, any Confidential Information for any reason, except as expressly authorized in writing by Qualtrics. Employee’s obligation under this Agreement is in addition to any obligations Employee has under state or federal law. Employee agrees to deliver to Qualtrics immediately upon termination of Employee’s employment, or at any time Qualtrics so requests, all tangible documents and items containing any Confidential Information, together with all copies of such items in Employee’s possession or control, and to delete or destroy any other copies thereof in Employee’s possession. Employee’s obligations under this Section (5) are indefinite in term and shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

2


In accordance with the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, Employee will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that: (a) is made (i) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (b) is made in a complaint or other document that is filed under seal in a lawsuit or other proceeding.
(6)Work Product and Copyrights. Employee agrees that (a) all right, title and interest in and to the materials resulting from the performance of Employee’s duties at Qualtrics and all copies thereof, including works in progress, in whatever media, (the “Work”), will be and remain owned by Qualtrics upon creation; (b) Employee will mark all Work with Qualtrics’ copyright or other proprietary notice as directed by Qualtrics; (c) to the extent that any portion of the Work constitutes a work protectable under the copyright laws of the United States (the “Copyright Law”), all such Work will be considered a “work made for hire” as such term is used and defined in the Copyright Law, and Qualtrics will be considered the “author” of such portion of the Work and the sole and exclusive owner throughout the world of copyright therein; (d) if any portion of the Work does not qualify as a “work made for hire” as such term is used and defined in the Copyright Law, Employee hereby irrevocably assigns and agrees to assign to Qualtrics or its affiliates, successors or nominees, without further consideration, all right, title and interest in and to such Work or in any such portion thereof and any copyright or other intellectual property rights therein throughout the world to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law; (e) Employee hereby waives and agrees not to assert any moral rights Employee may have or acquire in any such Work and agrees to provide written waivers from time to time as requested by Qualtrics; (f) Employee will execute and deliver to Qualtrics, upon request, appropriate assignments of such Work and copyright therein and such other documents and instruments as Qualtrics may request to fully and completely assign such Work and copyright therein to Qualtrics or its affiliates, successors or nominees; and (g) Employee hereby appoints Qualtrics as attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver any such documents on Employee’s behalf in the event Employee should fail or refuse to do so within a reasonable period following Qualtrics’ request.
(7)Inventions and Patents. For purposes of this Agreement, “Inventions” includes information, inventions, contributions, improvements, ideas, designs, designations, know-how or discoveries, whether protectable or not, and whether or not conceived or made during work hours and all related intellectual property rights throughout the world. Employee agrees that all Inventions conceived or made by Employee during the period of employment with Qualtrics belong to Qualtrics, provided they grow out of Employee’s work with Qualtrics or are related in some manner to the Business, including, without limitation, research and product development, and projected business of Qualtrics or its affiliated companies. Accordingly, Employee agrees that, both during and after the term of Employee’s employment, Employee: (a) shall make adequate written records of such Inventions, which records will be Qualtrics’ property; (b) hereby irrevocably assigns, and agrees to assign, to Qualtrics, at its request, any rights Employee may have to such Inventions for the U.S. and all foreign countries to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law; (c) waives and agrees not to assert any moral rights Employee may have or acquire in any such Inventions and agree to provide written waivers from time to time as requested by Qualtrics; and (d) shall assist Qualtrics (at Qualtrics’ expense) in obtaining and maintaining patents, copyright or other registrations with respect to such Inventions and hereby appoints Qualtrics as attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver any such documents on Employee’s behalf in the event Employee should fail or refuse to do so within a reasonable period following Qualtrics’ request.
Employee understands and agrees that Qualtrics or its designee will determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, whether an application for patent will be filed on any Invention that is the property of Qualtrics, as set forth above, and whether such an application will be abandoned prior to issuance of a patent. Qualtrics will pay a bonus to be split among the inventors (as determined by Qualtrics) of an Invention upon Qualtrics’ filing of a patent application and again upon the successful grant of a patent.
Employee further agrees that Employee will promptly disclose in writing to Qualtrics during the term of Employee’s employment and for one (1) year thereafter, all Inventions whether developed during the time of such employment or during one (1) year thereafter, whether or not Qualtrics has rights in such Inventions, so that Employee’s rights and Qualtrics’ rights in such Inventions can be determined. Except as set forth on the signature page of this Agreement and any pages thereafter, Employee represents and warrants that Employee has no Inventions, software,

3


writings or other works of authorship useful to Qualtrics in the normal course of the Business, which were conceived, made or written prior to the date of this Agreement and which are excluded from the operation of this Agreement. However, if, when acting within the scope of Employee’s employment or otherwise on behalf of Qualtrics, Employee uses or (except pursuant to the preceding sentence) discloses Employee’s own or any third party’s confidential information or intellectual property (or if any Work or Invention cannot be fully made, used, reproduced, distributed and otherwise exploited without using or violating the foregoing), Qualtrics will have and Employee hereby grants Company a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide royalty-free, non-exclusive, sublicensable right and license to exploit and exercise all such confidential information and intellectual property rights.
(8)Remedies. Employee agrees that Employee’s violation of any of Sections (4)-(7) of this Agreement would cause Qualtrics irreparable harm which would not be adequately compensated by monetary damages and that an injunction may be granted by any court or courts having jurisdiction, restraining Employee from violation of the terms of this Agreement, upon any breach or threatened breach of Employee of the obligations set forth in any of Sections (4)-(7). The preceding sentence shall not be construed to limit Qualtrics from any other relief or damages to which it may be entitled as a result of Employee’s breach of any provision of this Agreement including Sections (4)-(7).
(9)Disclosure. Employee agrees fully and completely to reveal the terms of this Agreement to any future employer or potential employer of Employee and authorizes Qualtrics, at its election, to make such disclosure.
(10)Representations of Employee. Employee represents and warrants to Qualtrics that (i) Employee is not in possession or control of any document(s) that in any way constitute confidential, proprietary or trade secret information of a third party (including any former employer); (ii) Employee is not subject to a non-competition agreement that would preclude Employee’s employment with Qualtrics; (iii) Employee has identified all confidentiality, proprietary, information, non-solicitation or similar agreements or obligations that it has with any third party and that, in the course of Employee’s work for Qualtrics, Employee will not violate any such agreements or obligations; and (iv) Employee, in the course of Employee’s work for Qualtrics, will not use or disclose any tangible or intangible information that constitutes confidential, proprietary, or trade secret information of a third party (including a former employer) except pursuant to written authorization to do so (e.g., a technology license between Qualtrics and a third party). Employee agrees to indemnify Qualtrics and to hold it harmless against any and all liabilities or claims arising out of any violation of any of the foregoing representations or warranties made by Employee.
(11)Assignability. This is a personal service contract and is not assignable by the Employee. Qualtrics may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement without Employee’s consent at any time for any reason or no reason at all. This Agreement is binding upon Employee and Employee’s heirs, personal representatives and permitted assigns and on Qualtrics and its successors and assigns.
(12)Notices. Any notices required or permitted to be given hereunder are sufficient if in writing and delivered by hand, by registered or certified mail, or by overnight courier, to Employee at the address written below or to Qualtrics at 333 River Park Dr., Provo, UT 84604, Attn: Legal Department. Notices shall be deemed to have been given (i) upon delivery, if delivered by hand, (ii) seven days after mailing, if mailed, or (iii) one business day after delivery, if delivered by courier.
(13)Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or compliance by any of the parties with any provision of this Agreement constitutes a violation of any law, or is or becomes unenforceable or void, then such provision shall be deemed modified only to the extent necessary so that it is no longer in violation of law, unenforceable or void, and such provision will be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law. The Parties shall engage in good faith negotiations to modify and replace any provision which is declared invalid or unenforceable with a valid and enforceable provision, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid or unenforceable provision which it replaces.
(14)Waivers. No failure or delay on the part of either party to exercise any right or remedy hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial waiver of a breach of any provision of this Agreement will operate

4


or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach. No single or partial exercise of any right or remedy hereunder will preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy granted hereunder or by law. No action, inaction or waiver by Qualtrics with respect to its rights or remedies under a third party employee’s employment agreement will operate as a waiver under this Agreement.
(15)Forum and Governing Law. The validity, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Utah without regard to its conflicts of law provisions. The parties hereto expressly recognize and agree that the implementation of this Section (15) is essential in light of the fact that Qualtrics has its corporate headquarters and its principal executive offices within the State of Utah. The federal or state courts in Salt Lake County, Utah shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any suit arising from or relating to Employee’s employment with, or termination from, Qualtrics, or arising from or relating to this Agreement. Employee consents to such venue and personal jurisdiction.
(16)Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts in different places, at different times and on different dates, and in that case all executed counterparts taken together collectively constitute a single binding agreement.
(17)Entire Agreement; Headings. This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the relationship between Employee and Qualtrics and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings. There are no representations or agreements other than as stated in this Agreement related to the terms and conditions of Employee’s employment. This Agreement may be changed only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver, change, modification, extension or discharge is sought, and any such signing by Qualtrics must be by one of its executive officers. The headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience only and do not limit or otherwise affect the provisions of this Agreement.

THIS LEASE AGREEMENT (referred to herein as the “Lease”), which includes the preceding Summary of Basic Lease Information and Definitions (the “Summary”) attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (the “Lease”) is made as of __________________, by and between, TIMP CAMPUS, LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company (the “Landlord”), and QUALTRICS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (hereinafter the ‘Tenant”).
W I T N E S S E T H:
In consideration of the rents, covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, Landlord and Tenant mutually agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1 PREMISES
Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord, the Premises described in Paragraph 8 of the Summary above. The Premises shall have the approximate square footage set forth in Paragraphs 5 to 7 of the Summary; provided, however, that Landlord makes no representation or warranty concerning the size or dimensions of the Premises and Tenant acknowledges and agrees that it has inspected the Premises to confirm that size and dimensions of the Premises is sufficient for Tenant’s anticipated use as provided herein. Such lease is upon, and subject to, the terms, covenants and conditions herein set forth and each party covenants, as a material part of the consideration for this Lease, to keep and perform their respective obligations under this Lease.

Section 2.02    Future Agreements. Subject to Tenant’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, during the Term, Landlord shall have the right to grant easements on, over, under and above the Premises, so long as they do not materially impair Tenant’s use or enjoyment of the Premises. Tenant expressly acknowledges and agrees that Landlord may, subject to Tenant’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, record or establish (or both) the following (collectively, the “Governing Documents”): a plat or plats; a declaration of covenants, conditions and restrictions and rules and regulations; and an association, all for the governance of the Premises. Tenant agrees that the terms of the Governing Documents may contain such terms as Landlord reasonably deems advisable, so long as such terms do not materially impair Tenant’s use or

1


enjoyment of the Premises. Tenant agrees that should any Governing Documents be applicable to the Premises, Tenant will conduct itself in accordance with such Governing Documents.
ARTICLE 3 TERM
The Term of this Lease shall be for the period designated in Paragraph 9 of the Summary commencing on the Commencement Date and ending on the expiration of such period, unless the Term is sooner terminated as provided in this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Commencement Date falls on any day other than the first day of a calendar month then the term of this Lease and first Lease Year (as hereafter defined) will be measured from the first day of the month following the month in which the Commencement Date occurs. Tenant shall have the right, in Tenant’s sole and absolute discretion, so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period at the time of exercise, to extend the Term of this Lease for up to three (3) additional periods of five (5) years each by providing written notice of such extension to Landlord on or before the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of the Term (as so extended), subject to additional extension rights set forth in ARTICLE 24 herein. As used herein, “Lease Year” shall mean each twelve (12) month period of this Lease, commencing upon the Commencement Date if the Commencement Date falls on the first day of a calendar month, or, if the Commencement Date falls on any day other than the first day of a calendar month, the first day of the first calendar month following the Commencement Date.
ARTICLE 4 USE
Section 4.01     Permitted Use. Tenant shall use the Premises solely for the Permitted Use specified in Paragraph 13 of the Summary in strict compliance with this Lease and such other reasonable rules and regulations as Landlord may adopt from time to time and in accordance with all other Legal Requirements and for no other purpose. Tenant shall not use or occupy the Premises for any other use or purpose without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Tenant shall obtain, at its sole cost and expense, all necessary permits, authorizations and approvals which may be required of any governmental entity for Tenant’s intended use.
Section 4.02    Landlord Representations. Landlord represents that, as of the Commencement Date, the Premises (a) is zoned for the Permitted Use, and (b) complies with all applicable Legal Requirements, including, but not limited to, the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA).
Section 4.03     Prohibited Uses. Tenant will not (a) use, occupy or permit the use or occupancy of the Premises for any purpose or in any manner which is or may be, directly or indirectly, improper, immoral, unlawful or objectionable purpose, or violative of any Legal Requirement or a public or private nuisance, (b) keep or permit to be kept any substance in, or conduct or permit to be conducted any operation from, the Premises which might emit offensive odors or conditions, or make undue noise or create undue vibrations, (c) commit or permit to remain any waste to Premises, (d) install or permit to remain any improvements to the Premises (other than window coverings which have first been approved in writing by Landlord) which exceed the structural loads of floors or walls of the Building, or adversely affect the mechanical, plumbing or electrical systems of the

2


Building, or affect the structural integrity of the Building in any way, (e) commit or permit to be committed any action or circumstance in or about the Building which, directly or indirectly, would justify any insurance carrier in canceling or increasing the premium on the fire, extended coverage insurance policy or any other insurance policy maintained on the Building or contents, or (f) any use which conflicts with that certain Master Declaration of Protective Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for Riverwoods Research and Business Park recorded in the office of the County Recorder of Utah County, State of Utah on October 24, 1991, as Entry No. 42273, in Book 2847, at pages 618, set seq., as amended as of the Commencement Date. Tenant shall not install, maintain or use an underground storage tank.

Subject to Section 6.01 below, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly comply with all Legal Requirements (and shall so cause the Premises and the business conducted thereon to comply) and requirements of any board of fire underwriters or other similar body now or hereafter constituted in relation to or affecting the condition, use or occupancy of the Premises. The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction or the admission of Tenant in any action against Tenant, whether Landlord be a party thereto or not, that Tenant has violated any Legal Requirements shall be conclusive of the fact as between Landlord and Tenant. Tenant shall promptly submit to Landlord copies of all documents, including reports, submissions, notices, orders, directives, findings and correspondence made by Tenant to any person or governmental authority, or given by any governmental authority or person to Tenant pursuant to Environmental Law. If any governmental authority requires any repairs, improvements or alterations to be made to the Premises during the Term, Tenant shall, subject to Section 6.01 below, make and pay for such repairs, improvements and alterations. To the extent such repairs, improvements and alterations require preparation of plans and specifications, such plans and specifications shall be approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and such repairs, improvements and alterations shall be completed in accordance with the plans and specifications.

During the Term, Tenant shall: (i) at all times comply with any “Environmental Law” (as defined below in Section 4.05) governing the Premises or the use thereof by Tenant, (ii) not use, store, generate, treat, transport, or dispose of, or permit any of Tenant's concessionaires, licensees, employees, agents, contractors, or invitees to use, store, generate, treat, transport, or dispose of, any “Hazardous Substance” (as defined below in Section 4.05) on the Premises without first obtaining Landlord's written approval, provided, however, Tenant may use, without Landlord’s consent, materials such as adhesives, lubricants, ink, solvents and cleaning fluids of the kind and in amounts and in the manner customarily found and used in business offices in order to conduct its business at the Premises and to maintain and operate the business machines located in the Premises provided that such materials are used, stored and disposed of by Tenant strictly in accordance with applicable Environmental Law, (iii) promptly and completely respond to and cleanup any release or presence of any Hazardous Substances upon the Premises that is caused by Tenant or Tenant’s agents, employees, contractors or invitees, and shall pay all costs incurred by Landlord as a result of any such release or presence, including, without limitation the costs of any “Environmental Cleanup Work” (as defined below in Section 4.05) and the

3


preparation of any closure or other required plans (all of the foregoing of Tenant under this Section are hereinafter collectively “Tenant's Environmental Obligations”). EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT CAUSED BY THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF LANDLORD OR ANY OF LANDLORD’S CONCESSIONAIRES, LICENSEES, AGENTS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, OR INVITEES, TENANT HEREBY RELEASES, INDEMNIFIES, HOLDS HARMLESS AND AGREES TO DEFEND LANDLORD, AND ITS AFFILIATES, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, SHAREHOLDERS, EMPLOYEES, REPRESENTATIVES AND AGENTS, FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, CAUSES OF ACTION, DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ALL FORESEEABLE CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES BUT EXCLUDING ANY UNFORESEEABLE CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES), FINES, JUDGMENTS, PENALTIES, COSTS, LIABILITIES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND REASONABLE INVESTIGATIVE AND DISCOVERY COSTS) ARISING DURING OR AFTER THE TERM OF THIS LEASE ON ACCOUNT OF OR ARISING FROM: (A) THE VIOLATION OF ANY ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS BY TENANT OR TENANT’S AGENTS DURING THE TERM; (B) THE PRESENCE, USE, GENERATION, STORAGE, REMEDIATION, DISPOSAL OR RELEASE OF HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE IN, ON, UNDER, OR ABOVE THE PREMISES ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF TENANT OR TENANT’S AGENTS DURING THE TERM; (C) ANY BREACH OF THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF TENANT CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 4.04 DURING THE TERM; AND (D) ANY VIOLATION OF THE OBLIGATIONS OF TENANT CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 4.04 DURING THE TERM.

Tenant shall permit Landlord and Landlord's agents to enter into and upon the Premises, upon 24 hours’ written notice, at all reasonable times for the purpose of inspecting the Premises and verifying Tenant's compliance with these covenants.

Section 4.06    Survival. Tenant’s representations, warranties, indemnifications and obligations under this Section shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.
ARTICLE 5 RENT
Section 5.01     Monthly Base Rent. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord, as basic rent for the Premises, the Monthly Base Rent in the amounts designated in Paragraph 11 of the Summary, as adjusted, from time to time, pursuant to Section 5.06.
Section 5.02    Additional Rent. Commencing on the date of this Lease, all amounts which Tenant is required to pay or discharge pursuant to this Lease in addition to the Monthly Base Rent, including, but not limited to all sums owed by Tenant to Landlord or paid to third parties by Landlord on behalf of Tenant, together with every fine, penalty, interest and cost which may be added for non-payment or late payment, shall constitute “Additional Rent.” Any amounts paid by Landlord to third parties on behalf of Tenant pursuant to this Lease or to cure any default of Tenant hereunder,

5


including without limitation, Additional Rent, shall bear interest at the Interest Rate from the date Landlord paid such amounts; and further provided, any such obligation of Tenant to pay shall continue to bear interest at the Interest Rate after any breach of this Lease. Additional Rent shall be paid directly to Landlord at the address specified herein, or at such other place as Landlord may designate in writing. If Tenant fails to pay or discharge any Additional Rent, Landlord shall have all rights, powers and remedies provided herein and/or by applicable Law as in the case of non-payment of Rent.
Section 5.03     Payment of Rent. All “Rent” (including, but not limited to Monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent) shall be due in advance monthly installments on the first day of each calendar month during the Term. Rent shall be paid to Landlord at its address recited in Paragraph 2 of the Summary, or to such other person or at such other address as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing. Rent shall be paid without notice, demand, abatement, deduction or offset in legal tender of the United States of America. If the Term commences or ends on other than the first or the last day of a calendar month, the Rent for the partial month shall be prorated on the basis of the number of days during such month for which the Term was in effect.
Section 5.04     Delinquent Payments and Handling Charge. All Rent and other payments required of Tenant hereunder shall bear interest from five (5) business days after the date due until the date paid at the rate of interest specified in Paragraph 15 of the Summary. In no event, however, shall the charges permitted under this Section 5.04 or elsewhere in this Lease, to the extent the same are considered to be interest under applicable law, exceed the maximum rate of interest allowable under applicable law. Tenant acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of any amount due under this Lease will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of such costs being extremely difficult and impractical to fix. Such costs include, without limitation, processing and accounting charges, and late charges that may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any encumbrance or note secured by any encumbrancer covering the Premises. Therefore, if any amount due hereunder from Tenant is not received by Landlord within five (5) business days of when due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as a late charge, an additional sum of: (i) $2,500.00 for the first such instance of late payment, or (ii) five percent (5%) of the overdue amount for each instance of late payment thereafter. The Parties agree that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. Acceptance of any late charge shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to the overdue amount nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies of Landlord under this Lease.
Section 5.05     Security Deposit. Concurrently with the commencement of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the Security Deposit (as defined in Paragraph 12 of the Summary) as security for the faithful performance by Tenant under this Lease. The Security Deposit shall be returned (without interest) to Tenant (or, at Landlord's option, to the last permitted assignee of Tenant's interest under this Lease) after the expiration of the Term, or sooner termination of this Lease and delivery of possession of the Premises to Landlord in accordance with ARTICLE 23 if, at such time, Tenant is not in default under this Lease beyond the expiration of applicable notice and cure periods. If Landlord's interest in this Lease is conveyed, transferred or assigned, Landlord shall transfer or credit the Security Deposit to Landlord's successor in interest, and Landlord shall

6


thereafter be released from any liability for the return of the Security Deposit. Landlord may intermingle the Security Deposit with Landlord's own funds and shall not be deemed to be a trustee of the Security Deposit. If Tenant fails to timely pay or perform any obligation under this Lease, Landlord may, after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure periods but prior to, concurrently with or subsequent to exercising any other right or remedy, use, apply or retain all or any part of the Security Deposit for the payment of any monetary obligation due under this Lease, or to compensate Landlord for any other expense, loss or damage which Landlord may incur by reason of Tenant's failure, including any damage or deficiency in the reletting of the Premises. If all or any portion of the Security Deposit is so used, applied or retained, Tenant shall within ten (10) days of receiving notice of such action deposit with Landlord cash in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to the original amount. Landlord may withhold the Security Deposit after the expiration of the Term or sooner termination of this Lease until Tenant has paid the full Tenant’s share of any Impositions or any other amounts payable by Tenant under this Lease. The Security Deposit is not a limitation on Landlord's damages or other rights under this Lease, a payment of liquidated damages or prepaid Rent, and shall not be applied by Tenant to the Rent for the last (or any) month of the Term, or to any other amount due under this Lease. If this Lease is terminated due to any default of Tenant, any portion of the Security Deposit remaining at the time of such terminations shall immediately inure to the benefit of Landlord to the extent required to compensate Landlord for any unpaid rent or other costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with this Lease as a result of such termination. In the event of bankruptcy or other debtor/creditor proceedings against Tenant, the Security Deposit shall be deemed to be applied first to the payment of rent and other charges due Landlord for all periods prior to the filing of such proceedings.
Section 5.06    Monthly Base Rent Adjustment. On the first day of each Lease Year (after the first Lease Year), the Monthly Base Rent shall be adjusted to be equal to 102.75% of the Monthly Base Rent for the immediately preceding Lease Year calculated by multiplying the current Monthly Base Rent by 1.0275.
ARTICLE 6 UTILITIES
Section 6.01    Tenant’s Obligations. Commencing on Commencement Date, Tenant shall contract in its name and shall pay directly to the utility company, before delinquency, all utility deposits and fees including any present or future installation, hook-up and/or service charges, together with any taxes thereon, for water, electricity, sewage, gas, telephone and any other utility services supplied to the Premises. Tenant shall not install any equipment which will exceed or overload the capacity of existing utility facilities. If any equipment installed by Tenant (other than equipment installed at the time of construction of a New Improvement (as defined below), which shall be governed by ARTICLE 24) shall require additional utility facilities, Tenant shall first obtain Landlord’s written consent to such installation, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and such installation shall be at Tenant’s expense. Tenant shall be solely responsible to contract in its name and shall pay directly to the respective provider for telephone and internet service to the Premises. Except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of Landlord or any of Landlord’s agents, employees, contractors or invitees, Landlord shall not be liable for any interruption or failure in the supply of any utilities to the Premises

7


Section 6.02    Landlord’s Rights. If any utility charges are not paid when due (taking into account any express grace period), Landlord may pay the same and any amount so paid by Landlord shall be immediately due and owing from Tenant to Landlord as Additional Rent. In the event any utilities are furnished by Landlord, Tenant shall pay Landlord, upon demand, such utility amounts.
ARTICLE 7 CONDITION OF THE PREMISES
Section 7.01    Walk-through. Tenant will, on or before the Commencement Date, conduct with Landlord a walk-through of the Premises at a mutually agreed upon time. To the extent that Tenant observes any condition which does not substantially comply with the terms of this Lease, Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord of the same in writing.

Section 7.02    “AS IS” Condition. As of the Commencement Date, Tenant agrees that, to the best of Tenant’s knowledge, Landlord does not have any obligation to make any improvements to the Premises and Tenant accepts the Premises in their “As-Is” condition. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 7.02, Landlord acknowledges its ongoing obligations under this Lease, including Section 9.01; provided, however, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that to the best of Tenant’s knowledge, no such obligations of Landlord under Section 9.01 are due and owing as of the Commencement Date. EXCEPT AS EXPLICITLY PROVIDED FOR HEREIN, AS OF THE COMMENCEMENT DATE, TENANT SHALL BE DEEMED TO ACCEPT THE PREMISES WITHOUT WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TENANT HEREBY WAIVES ANY AND ALL CLAIMS AGAINST LANDLORD ARISING FROM ANY BREACH OR DEFAULT BY LANDLORD’S PREDECESSOR-IN-INTEREST, WHETHER UNDER THEORIES OF SUCCESSOR LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE.
ARTICLE 8 OPERATION; REPORTING.
Section 8.01    Operation of Premises. Tenant shall utilize first quality trade fixtures and furnishings within the area of the Premises open to customers and the public. For the avoidance of doubt, the trade fixtures and furnishings in the Premises on the Commencement Date (and those of comparable quality) shall satisfy such first quality requirement. Tenant shall not vacate or abandon the Premises at any time during the Term of this Lease, and if Tenant shall abandon, vacate, cease to operate or surrender the Premises for a period of more than thirty (30) days, or be dispossessed by process of law or otherwise for more than thirty (30) days, property belonging to Tenant left on the Premises, including trade fixtures and personal property, shall be deemed abandoned and shall, at Landlord’s election in its sole discretion, become the property of Landlord.
Section 8.02    Reporting. If required by the Landlord or the Landlord’s Mortgagee (as defined below), and no more than two (2) times per Lease Year, within fifteen (15) days after the request therefore, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord’s Mortgagee a financial statement for the most recent year available reflecting Tenant’s gross revenues and expenditures for the operation of the Premises. Such financial statements shall be prepared in accordance with generally acceptable accounting principles and certified as true in all material respects by an authorized officer, member/manager or general partner of Tenant.

Landlord, at Landlord’s sole cost, shall repair and replace (upon such items reaching the end of their useful life (if applicable)), the foundation, footings, outer walls, load-bearing walls, roof (both as to structural and watertight integrity), vaults, risers, utility systems (to the point of delivery on each floor), and sewer lateral on the Premises, and the asphalt surface of the parking lot (excluding routine pot hole filling and crack sealing) located on the Land (collectively, “Landlord’s Structural Items”), except to the extent such repairs or replacements are necessitated by the negligence of Tenant or Tenant’s Agents (in which case, Tenant will pay for the proportion of the cost arising from such negligence and Landlord will pay for the remainder). Upon such items reaching the end of their useful life or requiring major repairs (i.e., the repair of any single component, or series of related components, that exceeds $15,000, which amount shall not include routine maintenance items), Landlord, at Landlord’s sole cost, shall replace or repair, as applicable, the HVAC system, elevator system, back-up generators and batteries, drainage systems, exterior downspouts, and exterior gutters (collectively, “Landlord’s Major System Items” and, together with Landlord’s Structural Items, “Landlord’s Maintenance Items”). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Tenant shall perform, or cause to be performed, routine maintenance of Landlord’s Major System Items in accordance with Section 9.02. This Section 9.01 shall not apply to damage resulting from a Taking (as to which ARTICLE 14 shall apply), or damage resulting from a casualty (as to which ARTICLE 15 shall apply), or to damage for which Tenant is otherwise responsible under this Lease. If, as a result of any change to Legal Requirements during the Term, any governmental authority requires any repairs, improvements or alterations to be made to Landlord’s Maintenance Items, Landlord shall promptly make and pay for such repairs, improvements and alterations. If Landlord fails to satisfy its obligations under this Section within thirty (30) days of receiving written notice from Tenant, then Tenant may perform on behalf of Landlord, and all of Tenant’s reasonable costs incurred shall be solely borne by Landlord; provided, however, if such obligations cannot be satisfied within such thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall not be in default and Tenant shall not be allowed to perform on behalf of Landlord so long as Landlord commences action to satisfy its obligations under this Section within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such action to completion; provided, further, that such period shall not be extended beyond sixty (60) days. Except as specifically provided above, Landlord shall not be called upon to make any improvements or repairs in or upon the Premises or the Building during the Term, it being the intention that this Lease shall be what is commonly referred to as a “triple net lease,” Tenant being responsible for all maintenance and repair expenses of every kind and nature, except as otherwise provided herein.
Section 9.02    Maintenance by Tenant. Except as provided otherwise in Section 9.01, Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, shall maintain the Premises and the Building in first class order, condition and repair, and clean, orderly, sanitary, and safe condition, including without limitation, providing routine maintenance for and replacement of all landscaping, entrances, vestibules, partitions, plate glass, window and window frames and moldings, exterior surfaces of walls, ceiling, floors, glass, doors, door openers, fixtures, lighting, electrical, plumbing, pipes, security system, electrical wiring and conduits, other mechanical systems, and equipment and appurtenances thereof (including without limitation sweeping, janitorial/cleaning, window washing, and routine maintenance and repair, lighting, electrical, plumbing, and snow and ice removal).

9


Furthermore, Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, shall provide routine maintenance (but not replacement) of the elevator system, the HVAC system (including air conditioning fixtures and systems, air distribution systems, motors, controls, grills, thermostats, filters, and air handling units), and routine pot hole filling and crack sealing on the parking lot surface. Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant assumes all risks from breakage of glass on the Premises and will promptly replace all such breakage at its own expense. With the exception of the Landlord’s Maintenance Items, for which replacement shall be the Landlord’s responsibility in accordance with Section 9.01, if replacement of equipment, fixtures and appurtenances is necessary, Tenant shall replace the same with new and/or completely reconditioned equipment, fixtures and appurtenances, and repair all damages done in or by such replacement. Tenant will not commit or allow to remain any waste or damage to any portion of the Premises. Tenant shall repair or replace, subject to Landlord's direction and supervision, any damage to the Premises (including the structural components and the roof of the Building) caused by the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of Tenant or Tenant's agents, contractors or invitees. If Tenant fails to make such repairs or replacements within thirty (30) days of a written notice by Landlord requesting that Tenant do so (except to the extent such repairs or replacements are an emergency, in which case no notice is required), Landlord may make the same at Tenant's cost; provided, however, if such obligations cannot be satisfied within such thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall not be in default and Landlord shall not be allowed to perform on behalf of Tenant so long as Tenant commences action to satisfy its obligations under this Section within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such action to completion; provided, further, that such period shall not be extended beyond sixty (60) days. Such cost shall be payable to Landlord by Tenant on demand as Additional Rent. Tenant shall enter into a contract with a reputable heating and air conditioning maintenance company for maintenance and repair services for the HVAC system, providing for regular inspection and maintenance of the HVAC system. Upon Landlord’s request, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a copy of the contract and/or copies of all maintenance or repair reports. In addition, Tenant agrees to keep the sidewalks or hallways adjacent to the Premises in a clean and sightly condition. If Tenant does not maintain the Premises as required hereunder, following the expiration of any applicable grace or cure period expressly provided in this Lease Landlord may, but need not, do so and Tenant shall upon demand pay Landlord’s cost therefore. Tenant hereby waives all right to make repairs at the expense of Landlord as provided under any law, statute or ordinance now or hereafter in effect.
ARTICLE 10 IMPOSITIONS
Section 10.01     Payment of Impositions. Tenant shall pay all real estate, personal property, rental, water, sewer, transit, use, occupancy owners' association and other taxes, assessments, charges, excises and levies (including any interest, cost or penalties with respect thereto), general and special, ordinary and extraordinary, foreseen and unforeseen, of any kind and nature whatsoever which are assessed, levied, charged or imposed upon or with respect to the Premises, or a portion thereof, or the sidewalks, streets or alleyways adjacent thereto, or the ownership, use, occupancy or enjoyment thereof (including but not limited to mortgage taxes and other taxes and assessments passed on to Landlord by any Landlord’s Mortgagee with respect to the Premises), and all charges for any easement, license, permit or agreement maintained for the benefit of the Building and other governmental charges (collectively “Impositions”) accruing or becoming due during the term of this Lease. For those Impositions invoiced directly to Landlord (if any), upon Landlord’s request,

10


Tenant shall pay the entire amount invoiced to Tenant by Landlord on or before five (5) business days before the date such Impositions must be paid, provided that Landlord provides Tenant with at least fifteen (15) days notice prior to when such Imposition must be paid.
Section 10.02     Right to Contest Impositions. Tenant, at its sole cost, shall have the right to contest, in accordance with the provisions of the laws relating to such contests, any real estate taxes, assessments, or other Impositions against the Premises and the failure of Tenant to pay such taxes, assessments, or charges shall not constitute a default by Tenant so long as Tenant complies with the provisions of this Section 10.02. Prior to initiating any contest or proceeding, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of such contest, or proceeding and shall either deposit with Landlord, or furnish good and sufficient undertaking and sureties designating Landlord as the beneficiary thereof, in such amount as Landlord deems to be sufficient, considering the amount of such taxes, charges, assessments, any potential penalties and interest thereon, and any potential expenses that might be incurred by Landlord with respect thereto. Landlord shall not be required to join in any proceeding or contest brought by Tenant unless the provisions of any law require that the proceeding or contest be brought by or in the name of Landlord or any owner of the Premises. In that case, Landlord shall join in the proceeding or contest or permit such proceeding or contest to be brought in its name as long as Landlord is not required to bear any cost. Tenant, on final determination of the proceeding or contest, shall immediately pay or discharge any decision or judgment rendered, together with all costs, charges, interest and penalties incidental to the decision or judgment.
ARTICLE 11 TRANSFER BY TENANT
Section 11.01     Prohibition on Transfers. Tenant shall not directly or indirectly, absolutely or conditionally, voluntarily or involuntarily, whether by operation of law or otherwise, assign, transfer, mortgage, pledge, or encumber this Lease or any interest therein, and shall not sublet the Premises or any part thereof without the prior written consent of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Any attempt to assign this Lease or sublet the Premises without such consent shall be voidable by Landlord in its sole discretion. If Tenant desires at any time to assign this Lease or to sublet the Premises or any portion thereof, Tenant shall submit to Landlord, at least sixty (60) days prior to the proposed effective date of the assignment or sublease (“Proposed Effective Date”), in writing: (i) a notice of intention to assign or sublease setting forth the Proposed Effective Date, which shall be no less than sixty (60) days after Landlord’s receipt of such notice; (ii) the name of the proposed subtenant or assignee and a resume setting forth the business experience of the proposed subtenant or assignee; (iii) the nature of the proposed subtenant’s or assignee’s business to be carried on in the Premises; (iv) the terms and provisions of the proposed sublease or assignment; (v) such financial information as Landlord may reasonably require concerning the proposed subtenant or assignee, including but not limited to, a financial statement of the proposed subtenant or assignee compiled by a certified public accountant or otherwise certified to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction; and (vi) references Landlord may call upon to verify any representations made with respect to the proposed sublessee or assignee, as well as its reputation for timely payment of obligations. Landlord will notify Tenant of its approval or disapproval of the proposed sublease or assignment thirty (30) days prior to the Proposed Effective Date. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained in this Lease or ARTICLE 11, but in all events subject to the provisions of Section 11.03, Tenant may, without the consent of Landlord,

11


assign the Lease or sublease the Premises to any affiliate of Tenant, any corporation or other business entity that acquires all or substantially all of the assets or stock of Tenant or any entity resulting from a merger, consolidation or reorganization of or with Tenant (collectively, a “Permitted Transferee”); provided, however, (i) the intended Permitted Transferee shall have a tangible net worth, as evidenced by financial statements delivered to Landlord and certified by an independent certified public accountant in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles that are consistently applied, that is greater than the Tenant’s tangible net worth as of the Commencement Date; and (ii) the proposed assignment or sublease is not a subterfuge by Tenant to avoid its obligations under this Lease or the restrictions under this ARTICLE 11. Tenant shall have the burden of establishing that all the terms of this Section 11.01 have been satisfied, and any attempted assignment to a Permitted Transferee that fails to meet the terms of this Section 11.01 shall be voidable by Landlord in its sole discretion.
Section 11.02    Fees for Review. In the event Tenant shall apply for an assignment, sublease, or encumbrance under this ARTICLE 11, Tenant shall pay to Landlord at the time Tenant shall apply for such assignment, sublease or encumbrance, the sum of $2,500.00 as a non-refundable fee for Landlord’s time and processing incurred in connection with reviewing such application.
Section 11.03    No Release of Guarantor. No consent by Landlord to any assignment or subletting by Tenant shall relieve Guarantor of any obligation to be performed by Guarantor under this Lease or the Lease Guaranty, whether occurring before or after such consent, assignment or subletting and Guarantor shall remain liable to Landlord under this Lease and the Lease Guaranty notwithstanding any such assignment or subletting. Furthermore, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, if Landlord requests in writing such reaffirmance by Guarantor, the effectiveness of any assignment or subletting by Tenant shall be conditioned upon Guarantor reaffirming Guarantor’s obligations under the Lease Guaranty as to the proposed assignee or sublessee. The acceptance of rent by Landlord from any other person shall not be deemed to constitute consent to any assignment or subletting, or be a waiver by Landlord of any provision, or other transfer or be a release of Guaranty from any obligation under this Lease or the Lease Guaranty. Consent to one assignment, subletting, or other transfer shall not be deemed to constitute consent to any subsequent assignment, subletting, or other transfer.
Section 11.04    Assumption of Obligations. Each assignee or transferee, other than Landlord, shall assume all obligations of Tenant under this Lease and, except in the event of an assignment, sublease or transfer to a Permitted Transferee, shall be and remain liable jointly and severally with Tenant for the payment of rent, and for the due performance of all the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements herein contained on Tenant’s part to be performed for the term of this Lease, including payment of the full amount of rent set forth in the assignment or sublease. No assignment shall be binding on Landlord unless such assignee or Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a counterpart of such assignment which contains a covenant of assumption by the assignee reasonably satisfactory in substance and form to Landlord consistent with the above requirements (but the failure or refusal of the assignee to execute such instrument of assumption shall not release or discharge the assignee from its liability).

12


Section 11.05    Assignment. For the purpose of this Section, and without limiting the definition of “assignment” each of the following shall constitute an “assignment”: (i) if Tenant is a partnership, a withdrawal or change, voluntary, involuntary, or by operation of law, of any partner or the dissolution of the partnership; (ii) if Tenant consists of more than one person, a purported assignment, voluntary, involuntary, or by operation of law, from one person to another; and (iii) if Tenant is a corporation, any liquidation or dissolution.
Section 11.06    Liens. Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant shall not grant, place or suffer, or permit to be granted, placed or suffered, against the Building or the Premises or any portion thereof, any lien, security interest, pledge, conditional sale contract, claim, charge or encumbrance (whether constitutional, statutory, contractual or otherwise) and, if any of the aforesaid does arise or is asserted, Tenant will, promptly and at Tenant's expense, cause the same to be released.
ARTICLE 12 ALTERATIONS BY TENANT
Section 12.01     Landlord Approval. Tenant shall not make (or permit to be made) any change, addition or improvement to the Premises (including, without limitation, the attachment of any fixture or equipment or the renovation of the north end of the third floor of the Building) (collectively, “Alterations”) unless such Alteration (a) equals or exceeds the Building standard and utilizes only new and first-grade materials and (b) is in conformity with all Legal Requirements, and is made after obtaining any required permits and licenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Tenant may make non-structural, Cosmetic Alterations to the Premises without Landlord’s consent. “Cosmetic Alterations” shall mean Alterations that, in the aggregate, do not exceed $500,000.00 in cost per Lease Year. Tenant may only make Alterations that are not Cosmetic Alterations if each such Alteration (i) is made with prior written consent of Landlord, (ii) to the extent the scope of the Alteration reasonably requires plans and specifications, is made pursuant to plans and specifications approved in advance by Landlord and prepared by a person approved in advance by Landlord, (iii) is made after Tenant has provided to Landlord such indemnification, insurance, and/or bonds requested by Landlord, including, without limitation, a performance and completion bond in such form and amount as may be satisfactory to Landlord to protect against claims and liens for labor performed and materials furnished, and to insure the completion of any change, addition or improvement, (iv) is carried out by persons approved by Landlord who, if required by Landlord, deliver to Landlord before commencement of their work proof of such insurance coverage as Landlord may require, with Landlord named as an additional insured. The parties acknowledge and agree that Tenant may elect at some point during the Term to renovate (in accordance with the terms of this Section 12.01, including any requirements for Landlord’s approval) the previously un-renovated portion of the north end of the third floor of the Building to better match the design, layout and finish of the remainder of the Building, which renovation may include the removal of the existing walls, bathrooms, fireplaces, wood paneling and other fixtures. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that Tenant shall be allowed to penetrate the roof membrane of the Premises in such area(s) approved in writing by Landlord; provided, however, that an independent roofing contractor, approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, shall seal such roof membrane penetration(s) at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. All Alterations (including all articles attached to the floor, wall or ceiling of the

13


Premises) shall become the property of Landlord and shall, at Landlord's election, be (1) surrendered with the Premises as part thereof at the termination or expiration of the Term, without any payment, reimbursement or compensation therefor, or (2) if and to the extent Landlord indicated to Tenant in writing at the time Landlord consented to an Alteration that Landlord desired for such Alteration to be removed upon expiration of the Term, removed by Tenant at Tenant's expense with all damage caused by such removal repaired by Tenant. Tenant may remove Tenant's trade fixtures, office supplies, movable office furniture and equipment not attached to the Building, provided such removal is made prior to the expiration of the Term, no uncured Event of Default has occurred and Tenant promptly repairs all damage caused by such removal. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord from and against all liens, claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses, including attorneys' fees, which may arise out of, or be connected in any way with, any such change, addition or improvement. Any consents or approvals to be given by Landlord in this Section 12.01 will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
Section 12.02     Manner of Construction. All construction performed on or with respect to the Premises by Tenant or its designee shall be performed in a good and workmanlike and in a first-class manner, and in accordance with the plans approved by Landlord and with all applicable permits, authorizations, laws, ordinances, orders, regulations and requirements of all governmental authorities having jurisdiction of the Premises. Tenant shall carry “Builder’s All Risk” insurance in a reasonable amount to cover any construction performed on or with respect to the Premises by Tenant or its designee. Any Alterations involving adhesives (including, but not limited to, adhesives for carpet, carpet tile, plastic laminate, wall coverings, adhesives for wood, or sealants) shall be those with the lowest possible volatile organic compounds (VOC) content and which meet the requirement of the manufacturer of the products adhered or involved. Tenant shall use adhesives and sealants with no formaldehyde or heavy metals. Adhesives and other materials used for the installation of carpets shall be limited to those having a flash point of 140 degrees F or higher. Newly installed gypsum board material must be Greenguard Gold Certified or have 0 grams per liter of VOCs. Any painted walls shall be painted with low VOC primer. Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to compliance with all Environmental Law, which now or at any time hereafter may be applicable to the Premises or any part thereof, Tenant shall be permitted to use any adhesive, sealant, gypsum board and paint that has historically been used in the Building. Upon request, Tenant will provide Landlord with material safety data sheets (MSDS) or other appropriate documents for the following products, adhesives, caulking, sealants, insulating materials, fireproofing or fire stopping materials, paints and wall coverings, carpets, floor coverings, ceiling materials, floor and wall patching or leveling materials, lubricants, clear finishes for wood surfaces, janitorial cleaning products, and pest control products. All MSDS shall comply with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements. Tenant will comply with all recommended measures in the MSDS for the products used to protect the health and safety of personnel.
Section 12.03    Materialmen, Lien Claims. Tenant shall promptly pay all contractors and materialmen, so as to eliminate the possibility of a lien attaching to the Premises or any improvements constructed thereon. Tenant shall require any contractor or other person performing work on the Premises to be licensed by the state in which the Premises are located and, prior to Tenant’s commencement of Alterations in excess of $100,000, to obtain a performance, completion and payment bond naming Landlord as additional oblige and releasing the Premises from any lien

14


claimed, which bond shall be in an amount equal to 110% of the estimated cost of such work. Tenant may contest the validity and/or amount of any lien imposed on the Premises, provided Tenant has caused such lien to be released of record by payment or posting of a proper bond. If Tenant shall be in default in paying any charge for which a bond or other lien claim has been filed and shall not have given Landlord security to protect the Premises and Landlord, then Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, pay the claim. Any costs and attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, shall be immediately due and owing from Tenant to Landlord.
ARTICLE 13 ACCESS BY LANDLORD
Landlord and its employees shall have the right (and Landlord hereby reserves the right) to enter the Premises during business hours (a) at Tenant’s request, to inspect, repair, perform surveys of, or perform environmental investigations of, the Premises or the Building, (b) upon 48 hours’ written or verbal notice to Tenant, to show the Premises to bona fide prospective purchasers of the Building (or, during the last six (6) months of the Term, to prospective tenants of the Premises), or (c) upon 48 hours’ written or verbal notice (such notice to include the names and titles of the entering individuals) to Tenant (except in the case of emergency) to inspect and repair the Premises as reasonably necessary for Landlord to perform its obligations under Section 9.01. Entry into the Premises by Landlord in accordance with this ARTICLE 13 shall not constitute a trespass or an eviction (constructive or otherwise), or entitle Tenant to any abatement or reduction of Rent, or constitute grounds for any claim for damages for any injury to or interference with Tenant's business, for loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment, or for consequential damages. Except as expressly permitted in this ARTICLE 13, Landlord and its employees shall not enter the Premises during the Term. During the last six (6) months of the Term, Tenant shall permit Landlord to place upon the Premises signs advertising the Premises for sale, rent or lease.
ARTICLE 14 CONDEMNATION
If all of the Premises is Taken, or if so much of the Premises is Taken that, in the Agreed Opinion of the Parties (as defined below), the remainder cannot be restored to an economically viable, quality office building, or if the awards payable to Landlord as a result of any Taking are, in the Agreed Opinion of the Parties, inadequate to restore the remainder to an economically viable, quality office building, Landlord or Tenant may, at its election, exercisable by the giving of written notice to the other party within sixty (60) days after the date of the Taking, terminate this Lease as of the date of Taking or the date Tenant is deprived of possession of the Premises (whichever is later). If this Lease is not terminated as a result of a Taking, Landlord shall restore the Premises remaining after the Taking to a Building standard condition. During the period of restoration, Monthly Base Rent shall be abated proportionately to the extent the Premises are rendered untenantable and, after the period of restoration, Monthly Base Rent shall be proportionately reduced to the extent that the area of the Premises Taken or otherwise rendered untenantable bears to the area of the Premises just prior to the Taking. If any portion of Monthly Base Rent is abated under this ARTICLE 14, Landlord may elect to extend the expiration date of the Term for the period of the abatement. All awards, proceeds, compensation or other payments from or with respect to any Taking of the Premises or any portion thereof shall belong to Landlord, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all of its right, title, interest and claim to same. Whether or not this Lease is terminated

15


as a consequence of a Taking, all damages or compensation awarded for a partial or total Taking, including any award for severance damage and any sums compensating for diminution in the value of or deprivation of the leasehold estate under this Lease, shall be the sole and exclusive property of Landlord. Tenant may assert a claim for and recover from the condemning authority, but not from Landlord, such compensation as may be awarded on account of Tenant's moving and relocation expenses, and depreciation to and loss of Tenant's moveable personal property. Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for the occurrence of any Taking, or for the termination of this Lease or a reduction in the Premises as a result of any Taking. As used herein, “Taking” or “Taken” shall mean the actual or constructive condemnation (including any temporary taking for a period of one year or longer), or the actual or constructive acquisition by or under the threat of condemnation, eminent domain or similar proceeding, by or at the direction of any governmental authority or agency. The “Agreed Opinion of the Parties” shall mean the agreed opinion of Landlord and Tenant after review and discussion of the circumstances, and if an agreed opinion cannot be reached by them then it shall mean the opinion of a qualified, independent third party hired by Landlord and Tenant (sharing the expense) to review the circumstances and form an opinion.
ARTICLE 15 CASUALTY
Section 15.01     General. Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord of any casualty to the Premises. If the Premises are totally destroyed, or the Premises are partially destroyed but in the Agreed Opinion of the Parties they cannot be restored to an economically viable, quality office building, or if the insurance proceeds actually paid to Landlord as a result of any casualty are, in the Agreed Opinion of the Parties, inadequate to restore the portion remaining to an economically viable, quality office building, Landlord or Tenant may, at its election exercisable by the giving of written notice to the other party within sixty (60) days after the casualty, terminate this Lease as of the date of the casualty or the date Tenant is deprived of possession of the Premises (whichever is later). If this Lease is not terminated as a result of a casualty, Landlord shall (subject to Section 15.02) restore the Premises to a Building standard condition. During the period of restoration, Monthly Base Rent shall be abated proportionately to the extent the Premises are rendered untenantable and, after the period of restoration, Monthly Base Rent shall be proportionately reduced to the extent that the area of the Premises remaining tenantable after the casualty bears to the area of the Premises just prior to the casualty. If any portion of Monthly Base Rent is abated under this Section 15.01, Landlord may elect to extend the expiration date of the Term for the period of the abatement. Except for abatement of Monthly Base Rent, if any, Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for any loss suffered by reason of any such damage, destruction, repair or restoration, nor may Tenant terminate this lease as the result of any statutory provision in effect on or after the date of this Lease pertaining to the damage and destruction of the Premises or the Building. The proceeds of all insurance carried by Tenant with respect to the Premises, excluding Tenant’s insurance on Tenant's furnishings, trade fixtures, leasehold improvements, equipment, merchandise and other personal property, shall be made available to Landlord for the purpose of the repair and replacement of the Building or, in the event that this Lease is terminated as a result of a casualty, shall be made available to Landlord or Landlord’s Mortgagee. Landlord shall not be required to repair any damage to or to make any restoration of any furnishings, trade fixtures, leasehold improvements, equipment, merchandise and other personal property installed in the Premises by Tenant or at the direct or indirect expense of Tenant.

16


Section 15.02     Acts of Tenant. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Lease to the contrary, if the Premises or the Premises are damaged or destroyed as a result of a casualty primarily arising from the acts or omissions of Tenant, or any of Tenant's officers, directors, shareholders, partners, employees, contractors, agents, invitees or representatives, (a) Tenant's obligation to pay Rent (including, but not limited to, Monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent) and to perform its other obligations under this Lease shall not be abated, reduced or altered in any manner, (b) Landlord shall not be obligated to repair or restore the Premises or the Premises, and (c) subject to Section 17.02, Tenant shall be obligated, at Tenant's cost, to repair and to restore the Premises or the Premises to the condition they were in just prior to the damage or destruction under the direction and supervision of, and to the satisfaction of, Landlord and any Landlord's Mortgagee.
ARTICLE 16 SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT
Section 16.01     General. This Lease, Tenant's leasehold estate created hereby, and all Tenant's rights, titles and interests hereunder and in and to the Premises are subject and subordinate to any Mortgage presently existing or hereafter placed upon all or any portion of the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the subordination of this Lease to any mortgage shall be conditioned upon the delivery to Tenant of a “Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement” (“SNDA”) from Landlord’s Mortgagee, on such form as may be required by Landlord’s Mortgagee, and which provides, inter alia, that so long as Tenant is not in default hereunder (beyond any applicable notice and cure period) and attorns to Landlord’s Mortgagee or any successor-in-title thereto in the event of a foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, Tenant’s rights under this Lease, including its right of possession of the Premises, shall not be disturbed. Landlord and Landlord's Mortgagee may, at any time upon the giving of written notice to Tenant and without any compensation or consideration being payable to Tenant, make this Lease, and the aforesaid leasehold estate and rights, titles and interests, superior to any Mortgage. Upon the written request by Landlord or by Landlord's Mortgagee to Tenant, and within ten (10) days of the date of such request, and without any compensation or consideration being payable to Tenant, Tenant shall execute, have acknowledged and deliver a SNDA meeting the abovementioned requirements that confirms that this Lease, Tenant's leasehold estate in the Premises and all of Tenant's rights, titles and interests hereunder are subject and subordinate (or, at the election of Landlord or Landlord's Mortgagee, superior) to the Mortgage benefiting Landlord's Mortgagee. As used in this Lease, the term “Landlord's Mortgagee” shall mean the mortgagee of any mortgage, the beneficiary of any deed of trust, the pledgee of any pledge, the secured party of any security interest, the assignee of any assignment and the transferee of any other instrument of transfer (including the ground lessor of any ground lease on the Land) now or hereafter in existence on all or any portion of the Premises, and their successors, assigns and purchasers and “Mortgage” shall mean any such mortgage, deed or trust, pledge, security agreement, assignment or transfer instrument, including all renewals, extension and rearrangements thereof and of all debts secured thereby.
Section 16.02     Attornment. Upon the written request of any person or party succeeding to the interest of Landlord under this Lease, Tenant shall automatically become the tenant of and attorn to such successor in interest without any change in any of the terms of this Lease. No successor in interest shall be (a) bound by any payment of Rent for more than one month in advance, except payments of security for the performance by Tenant of Tenant's obligations under this Lease, or (b)

17


subject to any offset, defense or damages arising out of a default or any obligations of any preceding Landlord. Tenant shall from time to time, if so requested by Landlord and if doing so will not materially and adversely affect Tenant's economic interests, rights or obligations under this Lease, join with Landlord in amending this Lease so as to meet the needs or requirements of any lender that is considering making or that has made a loan secured by all or any portion of the Premises.
ARTICLE 17 INSURANCE
Section 17.01    General. Tenant shall obtain and maintain throughout the Term the following policies of insurance:
(a)    Commercial general liability insurance with a combined single limit for bodily injury and property damage of not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) per occurrence and Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) aggregate, including, without limitation, contractual liability coverage for the performance by Tenant of the indemnity agreements set forth in ARTICLE 18;
(b)    Insurance covering the Building and any other improvements on the Premises, including boiler insurance and Tenant's leasehold improvements and personal property in or upon the Premises in an amount not less than one hundred percent (100%) of full replacement cost, providing protection against any peril generally included within the classification "Fire and Extended Coverage", together with insurance against sprinkler damage, vandalism and malicious mischief and a standard inflation guard endorsement. Tenant hereby assigns Landlord any and all proceeds payable with respect to such policies except to the extent such proceeds are payable with respect to any property that would remain the property of Tenant upon the termination of this Lease; provided, however, that to the extent required pursuant to the provisions of this ARTICLE 17, such proceeds shall be applied to the repair and restoration of the Premises.
(c)    Worker's compensation insurance satisfying Tenant's obligations under the worker's compensation laws of the State of Utah.
(d)    Business Interruption Insurance which shall provide Landlord coverage for the loss of rent payable hereunder for a period of at least one hundred eighty (180) days.
(e)    Such other policy or policies of insurance as Landlord may reasonably require (including without limitation, flood insurance) or as Landlord is then requiring from one or more other tenants in the Building.
Such minimum limits shall in no event limit the liability of Tenant under this Lease. Such liability insurance shall name Landlord, and any other person specified from time to time by Landlord, as an additional insured; such property insurance shall name Landlord as a loss payee as Landlord's interests may appear; and both such liability and property insurance shall be with companies acceptable to Landlord, having a rating of not less than A:XII in the most recent issue of Best's Key Rating Guide, Property-Casualty. All liability policies maintained by Tenant shall contain a provision that Landlord and any other additional insured, although named as an insured, shall

18


nevertheless be entitled to recover under such policies for any loss sustained by Landlord and Landlord's agents and employees as a result of the acts or omissions of Tenant. Tenant shall furnish Landlord with certificates of coverage. No such policy shall be cancelable or subject to reduction of coverage or other modification 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, and shall only be subject to such deductibles as may be approved in advance by Landlord. Tenant shall, at least ten (10) days prior to the expiration of such policies, furnish Landlord with renewals of, or binders for, such policies. Tenant shall cause all other occupants of the Premises claiming by, through or under Tenant to execute and deliver to Landlord a waiver of claims similar to the waiver contained in this Section and to obtain such waiver of subrogation rights endorsements. At Landlord’s request, any Landlord's Mortgagee shall be afforded coverage under any policy required to be secured by Tenant under this Lease by use of a mortgagee's endorsement to the policy concerned.
Section 17.02     Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant each hereby waive any right of recovery against the other (Tenant’s waiver of subrogation shall be in favor of Landlord and Landlord’s Mortgagee (if notified by Landlord)) and the partners, members, shareholders, officers, directors and authorized representatives of the other for any loss or damage that is covered by any policy of property insurance maintained by either party (or required by this Lease to be maintained) with respect to the Premises or the Building or any operation therein. If any such policy of insurance relating to this Lease or to the Premises or the Building does not permit the foregoing waiver or if the coverage under any such policy would be invalidated as a result of such waiver, the party maintaining such policy shall obtain from the insurer under such policy a waiver of all right of recovery by way of subrogation against either party in connection with any claim, loss or damage covered by such policy. Tenant hereby waives all claims, rights of recovery and causes of action that Tenant or any party claiming by, through or under Tenant may now or hereafter have by subrogation or otherwise against Landlord or against any of Landlord's officers, directors, members, shareholders, members, partners or employees for any loss or damage that may occur to the Premises, the Premises, Tenant's improvements or any of the contents of any of the foregoing by reason of fire or other casualty, or by reason of any other cause except gross negligence or willful misconduct, that could have been insured against under the terms of the fire and extended coverage insurance policies required to be obtained and maintained under this ARTICLE 17. Landlord and Tenant shall cause an endorsement to be issued to their respective insurance policies recognizing this waiver of subrogation.
ARTICLE 18 TENANT’S INDEMNITY.
Tenant shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord and Landlord's officers, directors, shareholders, members, partners and employees from and against liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees) resulting from any injuries to or death of any person or damage to any property occurring during the Term in or about the Premises and primarily resulting from Tenant’s actions or occupancy on the Premises (including without limitation such injuries, death or damage resulting from Tenant’s company parties) (excluding any injuries, death or damage resulting from Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct). The indemnity granted in this Section

19


shall extend to any additional insurance premium charged to Landlord for any insurance policy by reason of Tenant’s failure to comply with Section 4.03 and/or the Legal Requirements; provided, that such indemnity shall not be Landlord’s exclusive remedy, nor shall it limit or compromise any other rights granted Landlord by this Lease or by law or equity. Nothing contained in this ARTICLE 18 shall be construed or deemed in any way to increase the scope of Tenant’s use set forth in Section 4.01 of this Lease.
ARTICLE 19 THIRD PARTIES; ACTS OF FORCE MAJEURE
Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant, or to Tenant's officers, directors, shareholders, partners, employees, agents, contractors or invitees, for bodily injury, death, property damage, business interruption, loss of profits, loss of trade secrets or other tenant or such other direct or consequential damages occasioned by (a) the acts or omissions of any other tenant's officers, directors, shareholders, partners, employees agents, contractors or other invitees within the Premises, (b) Force Majeure, (c) vandalism, theft, burglary and other criminal acts (other than those committed by Landlord and its employees), (d) water leakage, or (e) the repair, replacement, maintenance, damage, destruction or relocation of the Premises. As used herein, the term “Force Majeure” shall mean any strikes, riots, acts of God, shortages of labor or materials, war, governmental laws, regulations or restrictions or any other causes of any kind whatsoever which are beyond the reasonable control of Landlord.
ARTICLE 20 QUIET ENJOYMENT
Provided Tenant has performed all its obligations under this Lease, Tenant shall and may peaceably and quietly have, hold, occupy, use and enjoy the Premises during the Term subject to the provisions of this Lease. Landlord shall warrant and defend for the Term of this Lease Tenant's right to occupancy of the Premises against the claims of any and all persons whosoever lawfully claiming the same or any part thereof, by, through or under Landlord, but not otherwise, subject to the provisions of this Lease. Landlord will cooperate with Tenant to enforce its exclusive use hereunder.
ARTICLE 21 DEFAULT BY TENANT
Section 21.01    Events of Default. Each of the following occurrences shall constitute Event of Default (herein so called):
(a)    The failure of Tenant to pay Rent as and when due hereunder and continuance of such failure for a period of five (5) business days or more after written notice from Landlord to Tenant specifying the failure; provided, any such notice shall be in lieu of, and not in addition to, any statutory unlawful detainer notice provided for in the state in which the Premises are located.
(b)    The failure of Tenant to perform, comply with or observe any other term, condition or provision in this Lease (including without limitation, Tenant’s obligations not to assign this Lease or sublet the Premises in contravention of Section 11.01), and the

20


continuance of such failure for a period of fifteen (15) days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant specifying the failure;
(c)    The abandonment of the Premises by Tenant or the failure of Tenant to occupy the Premises for more than thirty (30) days;
(d)    The filing of a petition by or against Tenant (the term "Tenant" also meaning, for the purpose of this ARTICLE 21, any guarantor of the named Tenant's obligations hereunder) (1) in any bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding, (2) seeking reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or other relief of the same or different kind under any provision of the United States Bankruptcy Code, codified at 11 U.S.C. §§ 101 et seq. as amended (the “Bankruptcy Code”) or any similar debtor relief law, or (3) for the appointment of a liquidator or receiver for all or substantially all of Tenant's property or for Tenant's interest in this Lease;
(e)    Tenant making a general assignment for the benefit of creditors;
(f)    The admission by Tenant in writing, signed by an authorized signatory, that it cannot meet its obligations as they become due or the making by Tenant of an assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or
(g)    Tenant’s failure to cause a release, within fifteen (15) business days after receipt by Tenant of a notice informing Tenant of the filing of any lien arising out of any work performed, materials furnished, or obligations incurred by or for Tenant, which has been filed against the Premises.
Section 21.02    Remedies of Landlord. Upon any Event of Default, Landlord may, at Landlord's option and in addition to all other rights, remedies and recourse afforded Landlord hereunder or by law or equity, do any one or more of the following:
(a)    At Landlord's option and without waiving any default by Tenant, Landlord shall have the right to continue this Lease in full force and effect and to collect all Monthly Base Rent, Additional Rent, and any other amounts to be paid by Tenant under this Lease as and when due. During any period that Tenant is in default, Landlord shall have the right, pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided for by law, to enter and take possession of the Premises, without terminating this Lease, for the purpose of reletting the Premises or any part thereof and making any alterations and repairs that may be necessary or desirable in connection with such reletting. Any such reletting or relettings may be for such term or terms (including periods that exceed the balance of the term of this Lease), and upon such other terms, covenants and conditions as Landlord may in Landlord's sole discretion deem advisable. If the rent or rents received during any month and applied as provided above shall be insufficient to cover all such amounts including the Monthly Base Rent and any other amounts to be paid by Tenant pursuant to this Lease for such month, Tenant shall pay to Landlord any deficiency; such deficiencies shall be calculated and paid monthly. No entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease, unless Landlord gives written notice of such

21


election to Tenant or unless such termination shall be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any reletting by Landlord without termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter terminate this Lease for such previous default by giving written notice thereof to Tenant.
(b)    Terminate Tenant's right to possession by notice to Tenant, in which case this Lease shall terminate and Tenant shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord. In such event Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant all damages incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant's default, including without limitation the following: (1) all unpaid Rent which has been earned at the time of such termination plus (2) the amount by which the unpaid Rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that is proved could have been reasonably avoided; plus (3) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform Tenant's obligations under this Lease, or in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing such damages as may be permitted from time to time under applicable State law. Upon any such re-entry Landlord shall have the right to make any reasonable repairs, alterations or modifications to the Premises, which Landlord in Landlord's sole discretion deems reasonable and necessary.
(c)    If an Event of Default specified in Section 21.01(c) occurs, Landlord may remove and store any property that remains on the Premises and, if Tenant does not claim such property within sixty (60) days after Landlord has delivered to Tenant notice of such storage, Landlord may appropriate, sell, destroy or otherwise dispose of the property in question without notice to Tenant or any other person, and without an obligation to account for such property.
Section 21.03    Payment by Tenant. Upon any Event of Default, Tenant shall also pay to Landlord all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord, including court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees, in (a) retaking or otherwise obtaining possession of the Premises, (b) removing and storing Tenant's or an other occupant's property, (c) repairing, restoring, altering, remodeling or otherwise putting the Premises into condition acceptable to a new tenant or tenants, (d) reletting all or a part of the Premises, (e) paying or performing the underlying obligation which Tenant failed to pay or perform, and (f) enforcing any of Landlord's rights, remedies of recourse arising as a consequence of the Event of Default. If Landlord elects to enter and take possession of the Premises, without terminating this Lease, Landlord may recover from Tenant:
(a)    The unpaid Rent which had been earned at the time of Landlord’s entry and possession;
(b)    Any other amounts owed by Tenant to Landlord as of the time of Landlord’s entry and possession; and
(c)    Any other amounts that a court of competent jurisdiction, whether acting as part of an initial proceeding or supplemental proceeding, deems necessary or appropriate under applicable Law to compensate Landlord for Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease.

22


Section 21.04    Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. In the event that Tenant shall become a debtor in a case filed under Chapter 7 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, and Tenant’s trustee or Tenant shall elect to assume this Lease for the purpose of assigning the same or otherwise, such election and assignment may be made only if the provisions of this Section are satisfied. If Tenant or Tenant's trustee shall fail to elect to assume this Lease within sixty (60) days after the filing of such petition or such additional time as provided by the court within such 60-day period, this Lease shall be deemed to have been rejected. Immediately thereupon Landlord shall be entitled to possession of the Premises without further obligation to Tenant or Tenant's trustee and this Lease, upon the election of Landlord, shall terminate, but Landlord's right to be compensated for damages in any such proceeding shall survive whether or not this Lease is terminated.
Section 21.05    Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. In the event that Tenant shall become a debtor in a case filed under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code which is transferred to Chapter 11, Tenant’s trustee or Tenant, as debtor-in-possession, must elect to assume this Lease within one hundred and twenty (120) days from the date of the filing of the petition under Chapter 11 or transfer thereto, or Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession shall be deemed to have rejected this Lease. In the event that Tenant, Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession has failed to perform all of Tenant's obligations under this Lease within the time periods (excluding grace periods) required for such performance, no election by Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession to assume this Lease, whether under Chapter 7 or Chapter 11, shall be permitted or effective unless each of the following conditions has been satisfied:
(a)    Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession has cured all defaults under the Lease, or has provided Landlord with Adequate Assurance (as defined below) that it will cure all defaults susceptible of being cured by the payment of money within ten (10) days from the date of such assumption and that it will cure all other defaults under this Lease which are susceptible of being cured by the performance of any act promptly after the date of such assumption.
(b)    Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession has compensated, or has provided Landlord with Adequate Assurance that within ten (10) days from the date of such assumption it will compensate Landlord for any actual pecuniary loss incurred by Landlord arising from the default of Tenant, Tenant’s trustee, or the debtor-in-possession, indicated in any statement of actual pecuniary loss sent by Landlord to Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession.
(c)    Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession has provided Landlord with Adequate Assurance of the future performance of each of the obligations under this Lease of Tenant, Tenant's trustee or the debtor-in-possession, and if Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession has provided such Adequate Assurance, Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession shall also deposit with Landlord, as security for the timely payment of rent hereunder, an amount equal to six (6) monthly installment payments of the minimum rent, which shall be applied to the last installments of minimum rent that shall become due under this Lease, provided all the terms and provisions of this Lease shall have been complied with. The obligations imposed upon Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession by this

23


subsection (c) shall continue with respect to Tenant or any assignee of this Lease after the completion of bankruptcy proceedings.
(d)    Such assumption will not breach or cause a default under any provision of any other lease, mortgage, financing agreement or other agreement by which Landlord is bound relating to the Premises. For purposes of this Section, Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that “Adequate Assurance” shall mean no less than: Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession has and will continue to have sufficient unencumbered assets after the payment of all secured obligations and administrative expenses to assure Landlord that sufficient funds will be available to fulfill the obligations of Tenant under this Lease and there shall have been deposited with Landlord, or the Bankruptcy Court shall have entered an order segregating sufficient cash payable to Landlord, and/or Tenant’s trustee or debtor-in-possession shall have been granted a valid and perfected first lien and security interest and/or mortgage in property of Tenant, Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession, acceptable as to value and kind to Landlord, to secure to Landlord the obligation of Tenant, Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession to cure the defaults under this Lease, monetary and/or non-monetary, within the time periods set forth above.
Section 21.06    Subsequent Petitions. In the event that this Lease is assumed in accordance with this ARTICLE 21, and thereafter Tenant is liquidated or files or has filed against it a subsequent petition under Chapter 7 or Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, Landlord may, at its option, terminate this Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder, by giving Tenant notice of its election to so terminate within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of either of such events.
Section 21.07    Adequate Assurance of Future Performance by Assignee. If Tenant’s trustee or the debtor-in-possession has assumed the Lease pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Section for the purposes of assigning (or elects to assign) this Lease, this Lease may be so assigned only if the proposed assignee has provided Adequate Assurance of Future Performance of all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be performed by Tenant. Landlord shall be entitled to receive all cash proceeds of such assignment. As used herein, Adequate Assurance of Future Performance” shall mean that no less than each of the following conditions has been satisfied:
(a)    The proposed assignee has furnished Landlord with either (i) a current financial statement audited by a certified public accountant indicating a net worth and working capital in amounts which Landlord reasonably determines to be sufficient to assure the future performance by such assignee, or (ii) guarantees, in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord, from one or more persons with a net worth which Landlord reasonably determines to be sufficient to secure Tenant’s obligations hereunder, and information with respect to the proposed assignee’s management ability, expertise and experience in Tenant’s business and Landlord has reasonably determined that the proposed assignee has the management expertise and experience to operate the business conducted on the Premises.
(b)    Compliance with the provisions of 11 U.S.C. § 365(b)(3)(A) through and including (D).

24


(c)    With respect to 11 U.S.C. § 365(b)(3)(C), Landlord shall not be required to obtain any consents or waivers from any third party under any lease, mortgage, financing agreement or other agreement for the breach of any provisions contained therein, or, if such consents are necessary, Landlord has obtained all consents or waivers from others required under any lease, mortgage, financing arrangement or other agreement by which Landlord is bound to permit Landlord to consent to such assignment without violating the terms of any such agreements.
(d)    When, pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, Tenant's trustee or the debtor-in-possession shall be obliged to pay reasonable use and occupancy charges for the use of the Premises, such charges shall not be less than the minimum rent, Common Area expenses and other charges due hereunder.
Section 21.08     Reletting. Upon termination of this Lease or upon termination of Tenant's right to possession of the Premises, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to relet the Premises on such terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion may determine (including a term different than the Term, rental concession, and alterations to and improvements of the Premises). Landlord shall not be liable for, nor shall Tenant's obligations hereunder be diminished because of, Landlord's failure to relet the Premises or collect rent due with respect to such reletting. If Landlord relets the Premises, rent Landlord receives from such reletting shall be applied to the payment of: first, any indebtedness from Tenant to Landlord other than Rent (if any); second, all costs, including for maintenance and alterations, incurred by Landlord in reletting; and third, Rent due and unpaid. In no event shall Tenant be entitled to the excess of any rent obtained by reletting over the Rent herein reserved.
Section 21.09     Landlord’s Right to Pay or Perform. Upon an Event of Default, Landlord may, but without obligation to do so and without thereby waiving or curing such Event of Default, pay or perform the underlying obligation for the account of Tenant, and enter the Premises and expend the Security Deposit, if any, and any other sums for such purpose.
Section 21.10     No Waiver; No Implied Surrender. Provisions of this Lease may only be waived by the party entitled to the benefit of the provision evidencing the waiver in writing. Thus, neither the acceptance of Rent by Landlord following an Event of Default (whether known to Landlord or not), nor any other custom or practice followed in connection with this Lease, shall constitute a waiver by Landlord or Tenant of such Event of Default or another Event of Default. Further, the failure by Landlord to complain of any action or inaction by Tenant, or to assert that any action or inaction by Tenant constitutes (or would constitute, with the giving of notice and the passage of time) an Event of Default, regardless of how long such failure continues, shall not extinguish, waive or in any way diminish the rights, remedies and recourse of Landlord with respect to such action or inaction. No waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease or of any breach by Tenant of any obligation of Tenant hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other provisions hereof, or of any subsequent breach by Tenant of the same or any other provision hereof. Landlord's consent to any act by Tenant requiring Landlord's consent shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of Landlord's consent to any subsequent act of Tenant. No act or omission by Landlord (other than Landlord's execution of a document acknowledging such surrender) or

25


Landlord's agents, including the delivery of the keys to the Premises, shall constitute an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises.
ARTICLE 22 DEFAULT BY LANDLORD
Landlord shall not be in default under this Lease, and Tenant shall not be entitled to exercise any right, remedy or recourse against Landlord or otherwise as a consequence of any alleged default by Landlord under this Lease, unless Landlord fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder and said failure continues for a period of thirty (30) days after Tenant gives Landlord written notice thereof specifying, with reasonable particularity, the nature of Landlord's failure. If, however, the failure cannot reasonably be cured within the thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall not be in default hereunder if Landlord or Landlord's Mortgagee commences to cure the failure within the thirty (30) days and thereafter pursues the curing of same diligently to completion. In no event shall Tenant have the right to levy execution against any property of Landlord or its agents, officers, directors, shareholders, partners or principals, other than their interest in the Premises, in the event of any default by Landlord under this Lease. The foregoing shall not limit any right that Tenant might have to obtain specific performance of Landlord's obligations hereunder.
ARTICLE 23 RIGHT OF RE-ENTRY
Section 23.01     Surrender of Premises. Upon the expiration or termination of the Term for whatever cause, or upon the exercise by Landlord of its right to re-enter the Premises without terminating this Lease, Tenant shall immediately, quietly and peaceably surrender to Landlord possession of the Premises in "broom clean" and good order, condition and repair, except only for ordinary wear and tear, damage by casualty not covered by Section 15.02 and repairs to be made by Landlord pursuant to Section 15.01. If Tenant is in default under this Lease, Landlord shall have a lien on such personal property, trade fixtures and other property as set forth in Section 38-3-1, et seq., of the Utah Code Ann. (or any replacement provision). Landlord may require Tenant to remove any personal property, trade fixtures, other property, alterations, additions and improvements made to the Premises by Tenant or by Landlord for Tenant, and to restore the Premises to their condition on the date of this Lease. All personal property, trade fixtures and other property of Tenant not removed from the Premises on the abandonment of the Premises or on the expiration of the Term or sooner termination of this Lease for any cause shall, at Landlord’s option, conclusively be deemed to have been abandoned and may be appropriated, sold, stored, destroyed or otherwise disposed of by Landlord without notice to, and without any obligation to account to, Tenant or any other person. Tenant shall pay to Landlord all expenses incurred in connection with the disposition of such property in excess of any amount received by Landlord from such disposition. Tenant shall not be released from Tenant's obligations under this Lease in connection with surrender of the Premises until Landlord has inspected the Premises and delivered to Tenant a written release. If Tenant fails to surrender possession of the Premises in the condition herein required, Landlord may, at Tenant's expense, restore the Premises to such condition.
Section 23.02     Hazardous Substances. No spill, deposit, emission, leakage or other release of Hazardous Substance in the soils, groundwaters or waters shall be deemed to result in either wear and tear that would be normal for the term of the Lease; or a casualty to the Premises. Tenant shall be responsible to promptly and completely cleanup any such release as shall occur on the Premises

26


during the term of the Lease and shall surrender the Premises free of any contamination or other damage caused by such occurrence during the term of the Lease. Tenant's obligation to clean up the Premises pursuant to the provisions of this ARTICLE 23 shall survive the expiration or other termination of this Lease.
ARTICLE 24 NEW IMPROVEMENTS
Section 24.01    New Improvements. At any time during the Term of this Lease, so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period at the time of exercise, Tenant may opt, in Tenant’s sole discretion, to add additional space to the Building or add a new building, parking structure, or other improvement to the Premises (each, a “New Improvement”), on one or more occasions. In such event, Tenant shall provide to Landlord plans and specifications for the proposed New Improvement. Landlord shall review the New Improvement, and within thirty (30) days of receipt of such plans and specifications shall either approve or disapprove of such New Improvement, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Concurrently therewith, Landlord shall also notify Tenant whether it will construct the New Improvement itself (“Construction by Landlord”) or let Tenant construct the New Improvement (“Construction by Tenant”). If Landlord fails to submit such notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days, Landlord shall be deemed to have elected Construction by Tenant. Landlord and Tenant agree to work together in good faith to secure any necessary approvals from Landlord’s Mortgagee (but only for a Mortgage existing at the time of Tenant’s submission of plans and specifications for the proposed New Improvement) and any other legally required third parties (e.g., city zoning commissions), as necessary to enable construction of a New Improvement, whether completed as Construction by Landlord or Construction by Tenant. Any approvals required of Landlord’s Mortgagee under this ARTICLE 24 shall be required only if Landlord’s Mortgagee requires them and only in connection with Landlord’s Mortgagee acting in its capacity as an existing mortgagee on the Premises. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord’s failure to obtain the requisite approvals from Landlord’s Mortgagee (acting in its capacity as an existing mortgagee on the Premises) or other legally required third parties, despite Landlord’s good faith efforts, shall not constitute a default of Landlord under this ARTICLE 24, and Tenant acknowledges and agrees that no construction of a New Improvement shall be permitted or required without any such necessary approval. In the event that Landlord unsuccessfully seeks construction financing from a lender in connection with construction of a New Improvement, as provided for under Section 24.03, then Landlord shall be deemed to have elected Construction by Tenant. In the event that Landlord successfully obtains construction financing from a lender in connection with Construction by Landlord of a New Improvement, Tenant and Landlord acknowledge and agree that such construction lender may impose commercially reasonable approval conditions (that are standard or common in connection with such financings) in connection with periodic loan disbursements in accordance with the terms of the underlying construction loan agreement. Any approvals required of Tenant and/or Landlord under this ARTICLE 24 shall be made without being unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Landlord agrees to use good faith efforts to obtain Landlord’s Mortgagee’s approval, and Landlord shall endeavor to require Landlord’s Mortgagee to not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its approval.

27


Section 24.02    Construction by Tenant. The provisions of this Section 24.02 shall apply only in the event of Construction by Tenant. Tenant may, in its discretion, elect to cancel the New Improvement or construct the New Improvement at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. In the event Tenant proceeds with construction, Landlord will cooperate with Tenant to obtain all necessary approvals and permits, at no cost to Landlord. Upon the date of occupancy of the New Improvement, the parties shall modify this Lease to include the New Improvement as part of the Premises; however, the Monthly Base Rent under this Lease shall not increase in connection with Construction by Tenant of a New Improvement. In the event of Construction by Tenant, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all of Landlord’s reasonable and actual costs incurred in connection with the construction of such New Improvements, including without limitation, any engineering, architectural, or design review fees or costs, legal fees incurred by Landlord and construction management and supervision fees in connection with such New Improvements.
Section 24.03    Construction by Landlord. The provisions of this Section 24.03 shall apply only in the event of Construction by Landlord. Landlord shall promptly commence construction of the New Improvement and diligently pursue such construction to prompt completion, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense. In the event that Landlord seeks to obtain financing for construction of the New Improvement but is unable to do so within ninety (90) days of receiving plans and specifications for the New Improvement from Tenant (provided that if Landlord begins seeking financing within thirty (30) days of receiving plans and specifications and works diligently to obtain financing thereafter, then such ninety (90) day period shall be extended to one hundred twenty (120) days), then Landlord may elect to proceed with Construction by Tenant instead, by notifying Tenant in writing of such election on or before the last day of such period. Upon the date of occupancy of the New Improvement, the parties shall modify this Lease to (i) include the New Improvement as part of the Premises and (ii) increase the Monthly Base Rent amount payable by an amount equal to 0.75% (i.e., 9% annually, divided by 12 months) multiplied by Landlord’s total construction costs for the New Improvement (which costs shall include hard and soft costs, costs relating to obtaining necessary permits and zoning approvals, reasonable legal fees, building fixtures and furnishings, construction period interest, real estate taxes and sewer and water charges and utilities, design and engineering and other "pre-development costs" and construction period professional management and supervision fees). By way of example, if Landlords total construction costs for a New Improvement were $10,000,000, then the additional Monthly Base Rent would be $75,000 (($10,000,000*9.0%)/12 months = $75,000). The additional Monthly Base Rent resulting from a New Improvement will continue to increase over the Term in accordance with Section 5.06 hereof. The amount of the Security Deposit shall proportionately increase as a result of any increase in the Monthly Base Rent pursuant to this Section 24.03. For the avoidance of doubt, there will not be any additional increase in the Monthly Base Rent due to an increase in the value of the Land that is already part of the Premises.
Section 24.04    Construction Standards. All work with respect to the construction of New Improvements shall be done (1) in a good and workmanlike manner, (2) using only new, first class quality materials that are consistent and compatible in design and quality with the existing Building, (3) in accordance with plans and specifications approved by Tenant, Landlord and Landlord’s Mortgagee, and all applicable state, county, and municipal laws and ordinances, (4) in accordance with a timeline and critical path schedule approved by Tenant, Landlord and Landlord’s Mortgagee,

28


(5) in accordance with a budget (including any modifications to the budget) and expenses that are approved by Tenant, Landlord and Landlord’s Mortgagee, and (6) in the event of Construction by Tenant, subject to the insurance, indemnity and bonding requirements of ARTICLE 12 (Alterations by Tenant) ARTICLE 17 (Insurance) and ARTICLE 18 (Tenant’s Indemnity). Prior to delivery of possession of a New Improvement to Tenant, all persons who have performed work or provided materials for the design, engineering or construction of a New Improvement shall have been paid in full, and the requisite lien releases and lien waivers from all such persons providing labor or materials (or any such liens shall have been bonded over to the Owner's satisfaction) shall be obtained by Landlord in the event of Construction by Landlord, or by Tenant in the event of Construction by Tenant, as the case may be. All work with respect to the construction of the New Improvement shall be done pursuant to a construction contract approved by Tenant, Landlord and Landlord’s Mortgagee and with a contractor approved by Tenant, Landlord and Landlord’s Mortgagee and engaged pursuant to a competitive bidding process. The construction of a New Improvement shall be completed in substantial accordance with the approved plans and specifications, including all punchlist items and warranty work. In the event of Construction by Landlord, Tenant shall have the right to hire, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, a construction advisor or other professional to supervise, inspect and approve construction of New Improvements.
Section 24.05    Term Extension. Upon the date of substantial completion of any New Improvement, the then-current Term of this Lease shall be amended to be the greater of (i) the then-remaining existing Term of the Lease (excluding options to extend), or (ii) the period from the date of occupancy of the New Improvement to the date falling ten (10) years thereafter. Additionally, Tenant shall thereafter have six (6) five (5)-year options to extend the Term of the Lease, each of which it may exercise, so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period at the time of exercise, by providing written notice of extension to Landlord on or before the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of the Term (as so extended). During any such extended Term, the Monthly Base Rent will continue to increase annually pursuant to Section 5.06 hereof. Except with respect to the calculation of Monthly Base Rent (which shall be performed in accordance with this ARTICLE 24), upon completion of a New Improvement, the term “Building” as used throughout this Lease shall be modified to include such New Improvement. Except as modified in this ARTICLE 24 (with respect to the calculation of Monthly Base Rent, definition of Building, scope of the Premises, and Term), all terms and conditions of this Lease will apply to any New Improvement.
ARTICLE 25 GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 25.01     Independent Obligations; No Offset. The obligations of Tenant to pay Rent and to perform the other undertakings of Tenant hereunder constitute independent unconditional obligations to be performed at the times specified hereunder, regardless of any breach or default by Landlord hereunder. Tenant shall have no right, and Tenant hereby waives and relinquishes all rights which Tenant might otherwise have, to claim any nature of lien against the Premises or to withhold, deduct form or offset against any Rent or other sums to be paid to Landlord by Tenant.

29


Section 25.02     Time of Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to each date or time specified in this Lease by which an event is to occur.

EXHIBIT A
GUARANTY OF LEASE
THIS GUARANTY OF LEASE (this “Guaranty”) is made as of October 15, 2018, (the “Effective Date”) by QUALTRICS INTERNATIONAL INC., a Delaware corporation (“Guarantor”), in favor of TIMP CAMPUS LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company (“Landlord”).
RECITALS:
A.QUALTRICS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Tenant”), and Landlord have entered into that certain Lease (the “Lease”), dated October 15, 2018, with respect to the property as described therein (the “Premises”).
B.Guarantor has a financial interest in Tenant or an interest in ensuring Tenant’s successful business operations at the Premises.
C.Landlord would not execute the Lease if Guarantor did not execute and deliver to Landlord this Guaranty.
NOW THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the above recitals (which are hereby incorporated into this Guaranty by this reference), the execution of the Lease by Landlord and as a material inducement to Landlord to execute the Lease, Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:
AGREEMENT:
1.Guarantor absolutely, presently, continually, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the prompt payment by Tenant of all rentals and all other sums payable by Tenant under the Lease and the faithful and prompt performance by Tenant of each and every one of the terms, conditions and covenants of the Lease to be kept and performed by Tenant.
2.It is specifically agreed and understood that the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease may be altered, affected, modified, amended, compromised, released or otherwise changed by agreement between Landlord and Tenant, or by course of conduct and Guarantor does guarantee and promise to perform all of the obligations of Tenant under the Lease as so altered, affected, modified, amended, compromised, released or changed and the Lease may be assigned by or with the consent of Landlord or any assignee of Landlord with notice to Guarantor and that this Guaranty shall thereupon and thereafter guaranty the performance of the Lease as so changed, modified, amended, compromised, released, altered or assigned.
3.This Guaranty shall not be released, modified or affected by failure or delay on the part of Landlord to enforce any of the rights or remedies of Landlord under the Lease, whether pursuant to the terms thereof or at law or in equity, or by any release of any person liable under the terms of the Lease (including, without limitation, Tenant) or any other guarantor, from any liability with respect to Guarantor’s obligations hereunder.
4.Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty shall continue until all rents due under the Lease have been paid in full in cash and until all other obligations of Tenant to Landlord have been satisfied, and shall not be altered by virtue of any payment by Tenant of any amount due under the Lease. If all or any portion of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease is paid or performed by Tenant, the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and effect in the event that all or any part of such payment(s) or performance(s) is avoided or recovered directly or indirectly from Landlord as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise.
5.Guarantor warrants and represents to Landlord that Guarantor now has and will continue to have full and complete access to any and all information concerning the Lease, the value of the assets owned or to be acquired

37


by Tenant, Tenant’s financial status and its ability to pay and perform the obligations owed to Landlord under the Lease. Guarantor further warrants and represents that Guarantor has reviewed and approved copies of the Lease and is fully informed of the remedies Landlord may pursue, with or without notice to Tenant, in the event of default under the Lease. So long as any of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder remains unsatisfied or owing to Landlord, Guarantor shall keep fully informed as to all aspects of Tenant’s financial condition and the performance of such obligations.
6.Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees with Landlord that if a default shall at any time occur in the payment of any sums due under the Lease by Tenant or in the performance of any other obligation of Tenant under the Lease, Guarantor shall and will forthwith upon written demand pay such sums, and any arrears thereof, to Landlord in legal currency of the United States of America for payment of public and private debts, and take all other reasonable actions necessary to cure such default and perform such obligations of Tenant.
7.The liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection, and is not conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by Landlord of any remedies which it now has or may hereafter have with respect to the Lease, at law, in equity or otherwise.
8.Guarantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert or take advantage of, to the extent permitted by law: (i) all notices to Guarantor, to Tenant, or to any other person, including, but not limited to, notices of the creation, renewal, extension, assignment, modification or accrual of any of the obligations owed to Landlord under the Lease, the enforcement of any right or remedy with respect thereto, and notice of any other matters relating thereto, (ii) notice of acceptance of this Guaranty; (iii) demand of payment, presentation and protest; (iv) any right to require Landlord to apply to any default any security deposit or other security it may hold under the Lease; (v) any and all defenses relating to Landlord’s failure to perfect a security interest in Tenant’s property and/or impairment of collateral; (vi) any statute of limitations affecting Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof; (vii) any right or defense that may arise by reason of the incapability, lack or authority, death or disability of Tenant or any other person; and (viii) all principles or provisions of law which conflict with the terms of this Guaranty. Guarantor further agrees that Landlord may enforce this Guaranty upon the occurrence of a default under the Lease, notwithstanding any dispute between Landlord and Tenant with respect to the existence of such default or performance of the obligations under the Lease or any counterclaim, set-off or other claim which Tenant may allege against Landlord with respect thereto. Moreover, Guarantor agrees that Guarantor’s obligations shall not be affected by any circumstances which constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety. Notwithstanding the Guarantor’s waivers under this Guaranty, Landlord agrees that if the original Tenant assigns all or any part of its interest under the Lease or subleases all or any part of the Premises in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lease, then from and after the date that Landlord receives written notice of such assignment or sublease, Landlord will exercise reasonable commercial efforts to notify Guarantor of any defaults by Tenant, or of any creation, renewal, extension, assignment, modification, or accrual of any of the obligations owed to Landlord under the Lease.
9.Guarantor agrees that Landlord may enforce this Guaranty without the necessity of proceeding against Tenant or any other guarantor. Guarantor hereby waives the right to require Landlord to proceed against Tenant, to proceed against any other guarantor, to exercise any right or remedy under the Lease or to pursue any other remedy or to enforce any other right.
10.(a)    Guarantor agrees that nothing contained in this Guaranty shall prevent Landlord from suing on the Lease or from exercising any rights available to it thereunder and that the exercise of any of such rights shall not constitute a legal or equitable discharge of Guarantor. In addition, Guarantor agrees that Landlord (not Tenant) shall have the right to designate the portion of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease that is satisfied by a partial payment by Tenant.
(b)    Guarantor agrees that Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation against Tenant or any right of contribution against any other guarantor hereunder unless and until all amounts due under the Lease have been paid in full and all other obligations under the Lease have been satisfied. Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the waiver of Guarantor’s rights of subrogation and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation Guarantor may have against Tenant shall be junior and subordinate to any rights Landlord may have against Tenant, and any rights of contribution Guarantor

38


may have against any other guarantor shall be junior and subordinate to any rights Landlord may have against such other guarantor. Without limiting the generality of the above, if now or hereafter Tenant becomes insolvent, Guarantor hereby forever waives and relinquishes in favor of Landlord and Tenant and their respective successors, any claim or right to payment Guarantor may now or may hereafter have or acquire against Tenant by subrogation or otherwise. In the event of insolvency and subsequent liquidation of the assets of Tenant, through bankruptcy, by assignment for the benefit of creditors, by voluntary liquidation or otherwise, the assets of Tenant applicable to the payment of the claims of both Landlord and Guarantor shall be paid to Landlord and shall be first applied by Landlord to the obligations of Guarantor described in Section 1 of this Guaranty. Guarantor shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from and against any preference liability as well as the costs of defending a preference suit in a bankruptcy case or proceeding involving Tenant. Guarantor hereby waives any right of indemnity, reimbursement, contribution or subrogation from Tenant.
(c)    The obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall not be altered, limited or affected by any case or proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of Tenant or any defense which Tenant may have by reason of order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such case or proceeding, including, but not limited to, the effect of any deemed or actual rejection of the Lease by Tenant, as a debtor-in-possession, or its trustee in bankruptcy. Landlord shall have the sole right to accept or reject any plan on behalf of Guarantor proposed in such case or proceeding and to take any other action which Guarantor would be entitled to take, including, without limitation, the decision to file or not file a claim. Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any payment which accrues with respect to Tenant’s obligations under the Lease (including, without limitation, the payment of rent) after the commencement of any such case or proceeding (or, if any such payment ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the commencement of such case or proceeding, such payment as would have accrued if such case or proceeding had not been commenced) shall be included in Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, as it is the intention of the parties that such obligations should be determined without regard to any rule or law or order which may relieve Tenant of any of its obligations under the Lease. Guarantor hereby permits any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor‑in‑possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar person to pay Landlord, or allow the claim of Landlord in respect of, any such payment accruing after the date on which such case or proceeding is commenced. Guarantor hereby assigns to Landlord Guarantor’s right to receive any payments from any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor‑in‑possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar person by way of dividend, adequate protection payment or otherwise, limited only as to the amounts guaranteed under this Guaranty.
(d)    In the event of an initial public offering or other corporate reorganization by Guarantor or any of its affiliates, Guarantor agrees to use its best efforts and take and employ all necessary actions in good faith consistent with this Guaranty to ensure that the rights secured by Landlord through this Guaranty can be enjoyed by Landlord.
11.Any notice, statement, demand, consent, approval or other communication required or permitted to be given, rendered or made by either party to the other, pursuant to this Guaranty or pursuant to any applicable law or requirement of public authority, shall be in writing (whether or not so stated elsewhere in this Guaranty) and shall be deemed to have been properly given, rendered or made only if sent by U.S. certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or by a nationally-recognized commercial overnight courier, addressed to the other party at its respective address set forth below, and shall be deemed to have been given, rendered or made on the day it is received. By giving notice as provided above, either party may designate a different address for notices, statements, demands, consents, approvals or other communications intended for it.

(a)    No consent of any other person, including, without limitation, any creditors of Guarantor, and no license, permit, approval or authorization of, exemption by, notice or report to, or registration, filing or declaration within any governmental authority is required by Guarantor in connection with this Guaranty or the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Guaranty and all obligations required hereunder. This Guaranty has been duly executed and delivered by Guarantor, and constitutes the legally valid and binding obligation of Guarantor enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms.
(b)    To the best of Guarantor’s knowledge, the execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty will not violate any provision of any existing law or regulation binding on Guarantor, or any order, judgment, award or decree of any court, arbitrator or governmental authority binding on Guarantor, or of any mortgage, indenture, lease, contract or other agreement, instrument or undertaking to which Guarantor is a party or by which Guarantor or any of Guarantor’s assets may be bound, and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any lien on any of such Guarantor’s property, assets or revenues pursuant to the provisions of any such mortgage, indenture, lease, contract or other agreement, instrument or undertaking.
13.The obligations of Tenant under the Lease to execute and deliver estoppel statements, as therein provided, shall be deemed to also require Guarantor hereunder to do and provide the same relative to Guarantor.
14.This Guaranty shall be binding upon Guarantor, and Guarantor’s heirs, representatives, administrators, executors, successors and assigns, as applicable, and shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by Landlord, its successors, endorsees and assigns.

15.The term “Landlord” whenever used herein refers to and means Landlord specifically named in the Lease and also any assignee of such Landlord, whether by outright assignment or by assignment for security, and also any successor to the interest of such Landlord or of any assignee in the Lease or any part thereof, whether by assignment or otherwise. So long as Landlord’s interest in or to the Premises (as that term is used in the Lease) or the rents, issues and profits therefrom, or in, to or under the Lease, are subject to any mortgage or deed of trust or assignment for security, no acquisition by Guarantor of Landlord’s interest in the Premises or under the Lease shall affect the continuing obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty, which obligations shall continue in full force and effect for the benefit of the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee or assignee under such mortgage, deed of trust or assignment, of any purchaser at sale by judicial foreclosure or under private power of sale, and of the successors and assigns of any such mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, assignee or purchaser.
16.The term “Tenant” whenever used herein refers to and means Tenant in the Lease specifically named and also any assignee or sublessee of such Tenant and also any successor to the interests of such Tenant, assignee or sublessee, whether by assignment, sublease or otherwise.

18.This Guaranty shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Utah. Guarantor hereby knowingly, intentionally, and irrevocably agrees that Landlord may bring any action or claim to enforce or interpret the provisions of this Guaranty in the State of Utah and County of Utah, and Guarantor irrevocably consents to personal jurisdiction in such State for the purposes of any such action or claim. Nothing in this Section 18 shall be deemed to preclude or prevent Landlord from bringing any action or claim to enforce or interpret the provisions of this Guaranty in any other appropriate place or forum.
In the interest of obtaining a speedier and less costly adjudication of any dispute, Landlord and Guarantor hereby knowingly, intentionally, and irrevocably waive the right to trial by jury in any legal action, proceeding, claim, or counterclaim brought by either of them against the other on all matters arising out of or related to this Guaranty, the Lease or the Premises.
19.Every provision of this Guaranty is intended to be severable. In the event any term or provision hereof is declared to be illegal or invalid for any reason whatsoever by a court of competent jurisdiction, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect the balance of the terms and provisions hereof, which terms and provisions shall remain binding and enforceable.
20.This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same Guaranty with the same effect as if all parties had signed the same signature page.

No provision of this Guaranty or right of Landlord hereunder may be waived nor may Guarantor be released from any obligation hereunder except by a writing duly executed by an authorized officer, director, manager, member, or trustee of Landlord.

Employee agrees that during his employment and after termination of such employment, irrespective of cause, he will not directly or indirectly use or divulge, or permit others to use or divulge, any Confidential Information for any reason, except for the benefit of Qualtrics or as otherwise expressly authorized by Qualtrics. Employee’s obligations under this section shall survive the termination of this Agreement for a period of three (3) years.
Work Product and Intellectual Property Rights. Employee agrees to assign, and hereby does assign, to Qualtrics all right, title, and interest in and to any and all inventions, original works of authorship, developments, concepts, improvements, designs, drawings, discoveries, algorithms, formulas, code, ideas, trademarks, and trade secrets that Employee has conceived or developed or reduced to practice, or may conceive or develop or reduce to practice, or has caused or will cause to be conceived or developed or reduced to practice, during the course of Employee performing the duties of his Qualtrics employment and during the term of such employment (collectively, “Intellectual Property”). Employee understands and agrees that (i) all original works for authorship that are made by Employee within the scope of Employee’s work at Qualtrics are “works made for hire,” as that term is defined in the United States Copyright Act, (ii) the decision whether or not to commercialize or market any Intellectual Property is within Qualtrics’ sole discretion and for Qualtrics’ sole benefit, and (iii) no royalty or other consideration will be due to Employee as a result of Qualtrics’ efforts to commercialize or market any such Intellectual Property. Employee will execute and deliver to Qualtrics, upon request, appropriate assignments of such Intellectual Property and such other documents and instruments as Qualtrics may request to fully and completely assign such Intellectual Property to Qualtrics prior to termination.
Non-competition & Non-solicitation Restrictions. Qualtrics is in the business of providing software and services related to experience management, surveys, data collection, data analysis, reporting, dashboards, market research, customer experience, and/or employee experience (collectively, the “Business”). To the fullest extent allowed under applicable law, Employee covenants and agrees that, during his employment and for a period of 6 months after termination of his employment for any reason, Employee will not:

To the fullest extent allowed under applicable law, there is no geographic limitation to these restrictions.
Miscellaneous. The headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience only and do not limit or otherwise affect the provisions of this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement or compliance by any of the parties with any provision of this Agreement constitutes a violation of any law, or is or becomes unenforceable or void, then such provision shall be deemed modified only to the extent necessary so that it is no longer in violation of law, unenforceable or void, and such provision will be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law. No failure or delay on the part of either party to exercise any right or remedy hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial waiver of a breach of any provision of this Agreement will operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach. No single or partial exercise of any right or remedy hereunder will preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy granted hereunder or by law. No action, inaction or waiver by Qualtrics with respect to its rights or remedies under any other agreement will operate as a waiver under this Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to Employee’s employment by Qualtrics and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement does not supersede any separate agreements relating to indemnification or equity awards. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by an agreement in writing signed by both Employee and Qualtrics’ Chief Financial Officer.

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
UNDER THE QUALTRICS INTERNATIONAL INC.
2014 STOCK OPTION AND GRANT PLAN
All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Restricted Stock Unit Award Notice and the Plan.
1.Conditions and Vesting of Restricted Stock Units. The Restricted Stock Units are subject to both a time-based condition (the “Time Condition”) and performance-based vesting (the “Performance Vesting”) described in paragraphs (a) and (b) below, both of which must be satisfied prior to the Expiration Date before the Restricted Stock Units will be deemed vested and may be settled in accordance with Section 3 of this Agreement.
(a)    Time Condition. The Time Condition shall be satisfied in accordance with the Time-Based Vesting Schedule set forth in the Award Notice.
(b)    Performance Vesting. The Restricted Stock Units shall only satisfy the Performance Vesting on the first to occur of (i) immediately prior to a Sale Event or (ii) the Company’s Initial Public Offering, in either case, occurring prior to the Expiration Date.
(c)    Vesting Date. Each date as of which both the Time Condition and Performance Vesting described in paragraphs (a) and (b) have been satisfied with respect to any Restricted Stock Units shall be referred to as a “Vesting Date.” No Vesting Date shall occur after the Expiration Date. To the extent the Restricted Stock Units have not satisfied both the Time Condition and the Performance Vesting, such Restricted Stock Units shall expire and be of no further force or effect on the Expiration Date.
2.Termination of Service Relationship. If the Grantee’s Service Relationship with the Company terminates for any reason (including death or disability) prior to the satisfaction of the Performance Vesting set forth in Section 1(b) above, all Restricted Stock Units (whether or not such Restricted Stock Units have satisfied the Time Condition as of such date) shall automatically and without notice terminate and be forfeited, and neither the Grantee nor any of his or her successors, heirs, assigns, or personal representatives will thereafter have any further rights or interests in such forfeited Restricted Stock Units. If the Grantee’s Service Relationship with the Company as a [           ] terminates for any reason (including death or disability) following the satisfaction of the Performance Vesting but prior to the satisfaction of the Time Condition set forth in Section 1(a) above, any Restricted Stock Units that have not satisfied the Time Condition as of such date shall automatically and without notice terminate and be forfeited, and neither the Grantee nor any of his or her successors, heirs, assigns, or personal representatives will thereafter have any further rights or interests in such forfeited Restricted Stock Units.
3.Receipt of Shares of Stock. As soon as practicable following each Vesting Date, but in no event later than March 15th of the year following the calendar year in which the Vesting Date occurs, the Company shall issue to the Grantee the number of Shares equal to the





aggregate number of Restricted Stock Units that have satisfied the Time Condition and Performance Vesting pursuant to Section 1 of this Agreement on such Vesting Date and the Grantee shall thereafter have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to such Shares.
4.Incorporation of Plan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Award shall be subject to and governed by all the terms and conditions of the Plan.
5.Transfer Restrictions.
(a)    Award Not Transferrable. The Award may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise encumbered or disposed of by the Grantee.
(b)    Beneficiary Designation. This Award is personal to the Grantee. The Grantee may elect to designate a beneficiary by providing written notice of the name of such beneficiary to the Company and may revoke or change such designation at any time by filing written notice of revocation or change with the Company. Such beneficiary may be entitled to benefits under this Award in the event of the death of the Grantee after a Vesting Date but before the settlement of this Award in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Award. If the Grantee does not designate a beneficiary, or if the designated beneficiary predeceases the Grantee, the legal representative of the Grantee or the Grantee’s estate shall be the beneficiary.
(c)    Restrictions on Transfer of Shares. The Shares acquired upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units may not be sold, transferred or otherwise encumbered or disposed of until (i) the Restricted Stock Units have vested as provided in Section 1 of this Agreement and (ii) Shares have been issued to the Grantee in accordance with the terms of the Plan and this Agreement. In addition, the Shares acquired upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9 of the Plan.
(d)    Lock-Up. If requested by the Company, a Grantee shall not sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Shares (including, without limitation, pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act) held by him or her for such period following the effective date of a public offering by the Company of Shares as the Company shall specify reasonably and in good faith. If requested by the underwriter engaged by the Company, the Grantee shall execute a separate letter confirming his or her agreement to comply with this Section.
6.Tax Withholding.
(a)    Grantee Responsible for Tax-Related Items. Regardless of any action that the Company or the Grantee’s actual employer or a Subsidiary or affiliate of the Company with which the Grantee has a Service Relationship if the Grantee is a consultant (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account, or other tax-related items related to the Grantee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to him or her (“Tax-Related Items”), the Grantee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Grantee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. The Grantee further acknowledges that the





Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units, including, without limitation, the grant, vesting, or settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such issuance, and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. The Grantee shall not make any claim against the Company or its Board of Directors, officers or employees related to Tax-Related Items arising from this Award or the Grantee’s other compensation. Furthermore, if the Grantee has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Grantee acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
(b)    Withholding. The Grantee shall, not later than the date as of which the receipt or settlement of this Award becomes a taxable event for Federal income tax purposes, satisfy any Federal, state, and local taxes required by law to be withheld on account of such taxable event. Such withholding shall be satisfied, in the Company’s sole discretion, (i) by the Company withholding from Shares to be issued to the Grantee a number of Shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value that would satisfy the minimum withholding amount due; (ii) with respect to a Grantee who is not an executive officer or director of the Company nor subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16 of the Exchange Act at the time of such withholding, by the Company causing its transfer agent to sell from the number of shares of Stock to be issued to the Grantee, the number of shares of Stock necessary to satisfy the Federal, state and local taxes required by law to be withheld from the Grantee on account of such transfer; or (iii) by requiring the Grantee to pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee for payment of, the required tax withholding obligation.
7.Section 409A of the Code. This Award is intended to constitute a “short term deferral” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code to the greatest extent possible and the Award will be administered and interpreted in accordance with that intent. To the extent that any provision of this Agreement is ambiguous as to its exemption from Section 409A of the Code, the provision shall be read in such a manner so that all payments hereunder are exempt from Section 409A of the Code. Solely for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, each issuance of Shares on (or shortly following) a Vesting Date shall be considered a separate payment. The Company makes no representation or warranty and shall have no liability to the Grantee or any other person if any provisions of this Award are determined to constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code but do not satisfy an exemption from, or the conditions of, such Section.
8.Miscellaneous Provisions.
(a)    Equitable Relief. The parties hereto agree and declare that legal remedies may be inadequate to enforce the provisions of this Agreement and that equitable relief,





including specific performance and injunctive relief, may be used to enforce the provisions of this Agreement.
(b)    Adjustments for Changes in Capital Structure. If, as a result of any reorganization, recapitalization, reincorporation, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar change in the Shares, the outstanding Shares are increased or decreased or are exchanged for a different number or kind of securities of the Company, the restrictions contained in this Agreement shall apply with equal force to additional and/or substitute securities, if any, received by the Grantee in exchange for, or by virtue of his or her ownership of, this Award or Shares acquired pursuant thereto.
(c)    Change and Modifications. This Agreement may not be orally changed, modified or terminated, nor shall any oral waiver of any of its terms be effective. This Agreement may be changed, modified or terminated only by an agreement in writing signed by the Company and the Grantee.
(d)    Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware as to matters within the scope thereof, and as to all other matters shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Utah, without regard to conflict of law principles that would result in the application of any law other than the law of the State of Utah.
(e)    Headings. The headings are intended only for convenience in finding the subject matter and do not constitute part of the text of this Agreement and shall not be considered in the interpretation of this Agreement.
(f)    Saving Clause. If any provision(s) of this Agreement shall be determined to be illegal or unenforceable, such determination shall in no manner affect the legality or enforceability of any other provision hereof.
(g)    Notices. All notices, requests, consents and other communications shall be in writing and be deemed given when delivered personally, by telex or facsimile transmission or when received if mailed by first class registered or certified mail, postage prepaid. Notices to the Company or the Grantee shall be addressed as set forth underneath their signatures below, or to such other address or addresses as may have been furnished by such party in writing to the other.
(h)    Benefit and Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their respective successors, permitted assigns, and legal representatives. The Company has the right to assign this Agreement, and such assignee shall become entitled to all the rights of the Company hereunder to the extent of such assignment.
(i)    Counterparts. For the convenience of the parties and to facilitate execution, this Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same document.





(j)    Integration. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to this Award and supersedes all prior agreements and discussions between the parties concerning such subject matter.
9.    Acknowledgements of the Grantee.
(a)    The Grantee represents and agrees that the Shares to be acquired upon settlement of this Award will be acquired for investment, and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof.
(b)    In the event that the sale or issuance of Shares under the Plan is not registered under the Securities Act but an exemption is available that requires an investment representation or other representation, the Grantee shall represent and agree at the time of settlement of this Award resulting in the transfer of Shares that the Shares being acquired are being acquired for investment, and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof, and shall make such other representations as are deemed necessary or appropriate by the Company and its counsel.
(c)    Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary or affiliate is obligated by or as a result of the Plan or this Agreement to continue the Grantee’s Service Relationship, and neither the Plan nor this Agreement shall interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Subsidiary or affiliate to terminate the Service Relationship of the Grantee at any time.
(d)    The Grantee understands that the Shares may not be registered under the Securities Act (it being understood that the Shares are being issued and sold in reliance on the exemption provided in Rule 701 thereunder) or any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws and may not be sold or otherwise transferred or disposed of in the absence of an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and under any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws (or exemptions from the registration requirement thereof).
(e)    The Grantee understands and agrees that he or she may not sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of the Shares for a period of time following the effective date of a public offering by the Company as described in Section 5(d) hereof.

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT - PERFORMANCE
UNDER THE QUALTRICS INTERNATIONAL INC.
2014 STOCK OPTION AND GRANT PLAN
All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Restricted Stock Unit Award Notice and the Plan.
1.Conditions and Vesting of Restricted Stock Units. The Restricted Stock Units are subject to both a performance/time-based condition (the “Time Condition”) and performance (liquidity)-based vesting (the “Performance Vesting”) described in paragraphs (a) and (b) below, both of which must be satisfied prior to the Expiration Date before the Restricted Stock Units will be deemed vested and may be settled in accordance with Section 3 of this Agreement.
(a)    Time Condition. The Time Condition shall be satisfied in accordance with the Performance/Time-Based Vesting Schedule set forth in the Award Notice.
(b)    Performance Vesting. The Restricted Stock Units shall only satisfy the Performance Vesting on the first to occur of (i) immediately prior to a Sale Event or (ii) the Company’s Initial Public Offering, in either case, occurring prior to the Expiration Date.
(c)    Vesting Date. Each date as of which both the Time Condition and Performance Vesting described in paragraphs (a) and (b) have been satisfied with respect to any Restricted Stock Units shall be referred to as a “Vesting Date.” No Vesting Date shall occur after the Expiration Date. To the extent the Restricted Stock Units have not satisfied both the Time Condition and the Performance Vesting, such Restricted Stock Units shall expire and be of no further force or effect on the Expiration Date.
2.Termination of Service Relationship. If the Grantee’s Service Relationship with the Company terminates for any reason (including death or disability) prior to the satisfaction of the Performance Vesting set forth in Section 1(b) above, all Restricted Stock Units (whether or not such Restricted Stock Units have satisfied the Time Condition as of such date) shall automatically and without notice terminate and be forfeited, and neither the Grantee nor any of his or her successors, heirs, assigns, or personal representatives will thereafter have any further rights or interests in such forfeited Restricted Stock Units. If the Grantee’s Service Relationship with the Company as a [            ] terminates for any reason (including death or disability) following the satisfaction of the Performance Vesting but prior to the satisfaction of the Time Condition set forth in Section 1(a) above, any Restricted Stock Units that have not satisfied the Time Condition as of such date shall automatically and without notice terminate and be forfeited, and neither the Grantee nor any of his or her successors, heirs, assigns, or personal representatives will thereafter have any further rights or interests in such forfeited Restricted Stock Units.
3.Receipt of Shares of Stock. As soon as practicable following each Vesting Date, but in no event later than March 15th of the year following the calendar year in which the Vesting Date occurs, the Company shall issue to the Grantee the number of Shares equal to the



aggregate number of Restricted Stock Units that have satisfied the Time Condition and Performance Vesting pursuant to Section 1 of this Agreement on such Vesting Date and the Grantee shall thereafter have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to such Shares.
4.Incorporation of Plan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Award shall be subject to and governed by all the terms and conditions of the Plan.
5.Transfer Restrictions.
(a)    Award Not Transferrable. The Award may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise encumbered or disposed of by the Grantee.
(b)    Beneficiary Designation. This Award is personal to the Grantee. The Grantee may elect to designate a beneficiary by providing written notice of the name of such beneficiary to the Company and may revoke or change such designation at any time by filing written notice of revocation or change with the Company. Such beneficiary may be entitled to benefits under this Award in the event of the death of the Grantee after a Vesting Date but before the settlement of this Award in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Award. If the Grantee does not designate a beneficiary, or if the designated beneficiary predeceases the Grantee, the legal representative of the Grantee or the Grantee’s estate shall be the beneficiary.
(c)    Restrictions on Transfer of Shares. The Shares acquired upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units may not be sold, transferred or otherwise encumbered or disposed of until (i) the Restricted Stock Units have vested as provided in Section 1 of this Agreement and (ii) Shares have been issued to the Grantee in accordance with the terms of the Plan and this Agreement. In addition, the Shares acquired upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9 of the Plan.
(d)    Lock-Up. If requested by the Company, a Grantee shall not sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Shares (including, without limitation, pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act) held by him or her for such period following the effective date of a public offering by the Company of Shares as the Company shall specify reasonably and in good faith. If requested by the underwriter engaged by the Company, the Grantee shall execute a separate letter confirming his or her agreement to comply with this Section.
6.Tax Withholding.
(a)    Grantee Responsible for Tax-Related Items. Regardless of any action that the Company or the Grantee’s actual employer or a Subsidiary or affiliate of the Company with which the Grantee has a Service Relationship if the Grantee is a consultant (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account, or other tax-related items related to the Grantee’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to him or her (“Tax-Related Items”), the Grantee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Grantee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. The Grantee further acknowledges that the



Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units, including, without limitation, the grant, vesting, or settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such issuance, and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units to reduce or eliminate the Grantee’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. The Grantee shall not make any claim against the Company or its Board of Directors, officers or employees related to Tax-Related Items arising from this Award or the Grantee’s other compensation. Furthermore, if the Grantee has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Grantee acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
(b)    Withholding. The Grantee shall, not later than the date as of which the receipt or settlement of this Award becomes a taxable event for Federal income tax purposes, satisfy any Federal, state, and local taxes required by law to be withheld on account of such taxable event. Such withholding shall be satisfied, in the Company’s sole discretion, (i) by the Company withholding from Shares to be issued to the Grantee a number of Shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value that would satisfy the minimum withholding amount due; (ii) with respect to a Grantee who is not an executive officer or director of the Company nor subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16 of the Exchange Act at the time of such withholding, by the Company causing its transfer agent to sell from the number of shares of Stock to be issued to the Grantee, the number of shares of Stock necessary to satisfy the Federal, state and local taxes required by law to be withheld from the Grantee on account of such transfer; or (iii) by requiring the Grantee to pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee for payment of, the required tax withholding obligation.
7.Section 409A of the Code. This Award is intended to constitute a “short term deferral” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code to the greatest extent possible and the Award will be administered and interpreted in accordance with that intent. To the extent that any provision of this Agreement is ambiguous as to its exemption from Section 409A of the Code, the provision shall be read in such a manner so that all payments hereunder are exempt from Section 409A of the Code. Solely for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, each issuance of Shares on (or shortly following) a Vesting Date shall be considered a separate payment. The Company makes no representation or warranty and shall have no liability to the Grantee or any other person if any provisions of this Award are determined to constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code but do not satisfy an exemption from, or the conditions of, such Section.
8.Miscellaneous Provisions.
(a)    Equitable Relief. The parties hereto agree and declare that legal remedies may be inadequate to enforce the provisions of this Agreement and that equitable relief,



including specific performance and injunctive relief, may be used to enforce the provisions of this Agreement.
(b)    Adjustments for Changes in Capital Structure. If, as a result of any reorganization, recapitalization, reincorporation, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar change in the Shares, the outstanding Shares are increased or decreased or are exchanged for a different number or kind of securities of the Company, the restrictions contained in this Agreement shall apply with equal force to additional and/or substitute securities, if any, received by the Grantee in exchange for, or by virtue of his or her ownership of, this Award or Shares acquired pursuant thereto.
(c)    Change and Modifications. This Agreement may not be orally changed, modified or terminated, nor shall any oral waiver of any of its terms be effective. This Agreement may be changed, modified or terminated only by an agreement in writing signed by the Company and the Grantee.
(d)    Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware as to matters within the scope thereof, and as to all other matters shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Utah, without regard to conflict of law principles that would result in the application of any law other than the law of the State of Utah.
(e)    Headings. The headings are intended only for convenience in finding the subject matter and do not constitute part of the text of this Agreement and shall not be considered in the interpretation of this Agreement.
(f)    Saving Clause. If any provision(s) of this Agreement shall be determined to be illegal or unenforceable, such determination shall in no manner affect the legality or enforceability of any other provision hereof.
(g)    Notices. All notices, requests, consents and other communications shall be in writing and be deemed given when delivered personally, by telex or facsimile transmission or when received if mailed by first class registered or certified mail, postage prepaid. Notices to the Company or the Grantee shall be addressed as set forth underneath their signatures below, or to such other address or addresses as may have been furnished by such party in writing to the other.
(h)    Benefit and Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their respective successors, permitted assigns, and legal representatives. The Company has the right to assign this Agreement, and such assignee shall become entitled to all the rights of the Company hereunder to the extent of such assignment.
(i)    Counterparts. For the convenience of the parties and to facilitate execution, this Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same document.



(j)    Integration. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to this Award and supersedes all prior agreements and discussions between the parties concerning such subject matter.
9.Acknowledgements of the Grantee.
(a)    The Grantee represents and agrees that the Shares to be acquired upon settlement of this Award will be acquired for investment, and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof.
(b)    In the event that the sale or issuance of Shares under the Plan is not registered under the Securities Act but an exemption is available that requires an investment representation or other representation, the Grantee shall represent and agree at the time of settlement of this Award resulting in the transfer of Shares that the Shares being acquired are being acquired for investment, and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof, and shall make such other representations as are deemed necessary or appropriate by the Company and its counsel.
(c)    Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary or affiliate is obligated by or as a result of the Plan or this Agreement to continue the Grantee’s Service Relationship, and neither the Plan nor this Agreement shall interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Subsidiary or affiliate to terminate the Service Relationship of the Grantee at any time.
(d)    The Grantee understands that the Shares may not be registered under the Securities Act (it being understood that the Shares are being issued and sold in reliance on the exemption provided in Rule 701 thereunder) or any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws and may not be sold or otherwise transferred or disposed of in the absence of an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and under any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws (or exemptions from the registration requirement thereof).
(e)    The Grantee understands and agrees that he or she may not sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of the Shares for a period of time following the effective date of a public offering by the Company as described in Section 5(d) hereof.
