This percentage is calculated based upon 15,584,325 Class A common shares and 23,708,300 Class B common shares outstanding upon completion of the Issuer’s initial public offering, as set forth in the Issuer’s final prospectus dated July 21, 2021, with respect to such offering, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 23, 2021. If the outstanding number of shares included both the Class A common shares and Class B common shares, the percentage would be 9.8%.

(3)

The percentage reported does not reflect the ten for one voting power of the Class B common shares. The 3,846,153 Class A common shares held by the reporting person represent 1.5% of the aggregate combined voting power of the Class A common shares and Class B common shares as of July 21, 2021.

The Purchaser and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by the Purchaser or its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or affect the Purchaser’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained herein. The Purchaser understands that its investment in the Subject Shares involves a high degree of risk. The Purchaser has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Subject Shares.

4.9 Securities Not Registered.

(a) The Purchaser understands that none of the Subject Shares have been approved or disapproved by the SEC or by any state securities commission nor have the Subject Shares been registered under the Securities Act, by reason of their issuance by the Company in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and that the Subject Shares being acquired by the Purchaser are “restricted securities” under applicable federal securities laws and must continue to be held by the Purchaser unless a subsequent disposition thereof is registered under the Securities Act or is exempt from such registration. Such Purchaser agrees: (A) that the Purchaser will not sell, assign, pledge, give, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Subject Shares or any interest therein, or make any offer or attempt to do any of the foregoing, except pursuant to a registration of the Subject Shares under the Securities Act and all applicable state or local securities laws, or in a transaction that is exempt from the registration provisions of the Securities Act and all applicable state or local securities laws, (B) that any certificates representing the Subject Shares will bear a legend making reference to the foregoing restrictions and (C) that the Company shall not be required to give effect to any purported transfer of the Subject Shares except upon compliance with the foregoing restrictions.

(b) The Purchaser understands that the Subject Shares shall be subject to the restrictions contained herein.

(c) The Purchaser understands that the Subject Shares, and any securities issued in respect thereof or in exchange therefor, will bear the following legends:

(a) “THIS SECURITY WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED IN A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND THIS SECURITY MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION THEREFROM.

 

7


THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE COMPANY THAT (A) THIS SECURITY MAY BE OFFERED, RESOLD, PLEDGED OR OT HERWISE TRANSFERRED, ONLY (I) PURSUANT TO ANY EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT, INCLUDING RULE 144 OR REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (IF AVAILABLE), (II) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR (III) TO THE COMPANY OR ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES, IN EACH OF CASES (I) THROUGH (III) IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES, AND (B) THE HOLDER WILL, AND EACH SUBSEQUENT HOLDER IS REQUIRED TO, NOTIFY ANY SUBSEQUENT PURCHASER OF THIS SECURITY FROM IT OF THE RESALE RESTRICTIONS REFERRED TO IN (A) ABOVE” and

(b) “THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREIN ARE SUBJECT TO A CONTRACTUAL LOCK-UP PERIOD AGREED BY THE COMPANY AND TWILIO INC. UNDER A SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT DATED AS OF JULY 8, 2021.”

4.10 Financing. The Purchaser has, or by the Closing will have, an amount of cash sufficient to enable it to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

4.11 No General Solicitation. Neither the Purchaser nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, stockholders, partners or Affiliates has been directly or indirectly solicited through any public advertising or general solicitation (including by means of the Registration Statement or prospectus contained therein) and did not learn of and become interested in the transaction contemplated in this Agreement by means of the Registration Statement or prospectus contained therein. The Purchaser hereby further confirms that it or an Affiliate of the Purchaser had a substantive pre-existing relationship with the Company prior to the commencement of any discussion in connection with the transaction contemplated in this Agreement.

Neither the Purchaser nor any of its Representatives has relied or is relying on any representation or warranty, express or implied, written or oral, made by the Company or any of its Representatives, except those representations and warranties expressly set forth in Section 3 or in any schedule or certificate delivered in connection herewith. Neither the Company nor any of its Representatives will have or be subject to any liability or indemnification obligation to the Purchaser or any other Person resulting from any other express or implied representation or warranty with respect to the Company, unless any such information is expressly included in a representation or warranty contained in Section 3 or in any schedule or certificate delivered in connection herewith.

5. Covenants.

5.1 Rule 144 Reporting. Subject to the limitations set in this Agreement, with a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC that may permit the sale of the Subject Shares to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to:

(a) make and keep public information regarding the Company available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any similar provision then in effect), at all times from and after the Closing Date;

(b) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act at all times from and after the Closing Date; and

(c) furnish (i) to the extent accurate, forthwith upon request, a written statement of the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any similar provision then in effect) and (ii) unless otherwise available via the SEC’s EDGAR filing system, to the Purchaser forthwith upon request a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents so filed as the Purchaser may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing the Purchaser to sell any such securities without registration.

5.2 Lock-Up. Until the date that is 180 days after the Closing Date (the “Lock-Up Expiration Date”), the Purchaser agrees that it shall not, without the Company’s written consent, (A) 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, make any short sale relating to, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any of the Subject Shares, or publicly disclose the intention to make any offer, sale, pledge or disposition, or (B) enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Subject Shares, whether any such transaction described in clauses (A) and (B) is to be settled by delivery of shares of Common Shares, any other security, in cash or otherwise. Notwithstanding the above, to the extent that, as a result of the holding of the Subject Shares without any purchase of additional shares of the Company, the Purchaser becomes required prior to the Lock-Up Expiration Date to file any notice, petition, filing or request of any nature before an anti-trust or similar regulatory authority in any applicable jurisdiction (an “Anti-Trust Filing”) then the Purchaser shall be permitted to sell, transfer or dispose a number of Subject Shares sufficient to avoid the trigger of any such Anti-Trust Filing (the “Sale of Subject Shares”). The Purchaser agrees to provide the Company with a three (3) business days written notice prior to effecting any Sale of Subject Shares along with a detailed explanation as to the need of effecting a Sale of Subject Shares in order to avoid an Anti-Trust Filing. To the extent that Purchaser notifies the Company of a proposed Sale of Subject Shares at such time as Purchaser may have additional restrictions on the sale of its Subject Shares (other than pursuant to the lock-up provisions of this Section 5.2), the Company agrees to work in good faith with Purchaser to find means by which the Sale of Subject Shares may be sold, including if reasonable at such time, the registration of such Subject Shares for resale.

5.3 Non-Solicitation. During the period of one (1) year from the Closing Date, the Company and the Purchaser shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, solicit, recruit for employment or hire any Restricted Employee; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (i) a general solicitation to the public of general advertising or similar methods of solicitation by search firms not specifically directed at Restricted Employees or hiring any Restricted Employee who was solicited in accordance with this clause (i); (ii) the Company or the Purchaser or any of their Affiliates from soliciting, recruiting or hiring any Restricted Employee who has ceased to be employed by the Company or the Purchaser; or (iii) the Company or the Purchaser or any of their Affiliates from hiring any Restricted Employee who contacts the Company or the Purchaser or any of their Affiliates directly on his or her own initiative.

5.4 Cooperation. Following the Closing, each of the Company and the Purchaser shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to cooperate with one another in good faith to enter into a commercial agreement, within ninety (90) days of the Closing Date, that establishes complementary initiatives to strengthen their respective businesses.

7. Legends; Securities Act Compliance. The Subject Shares or the notice sent to any holder of the Subject Shares in book-entry form will bear a legend conspicuously thereon as provided in Section 4.9.

8. Termination.

8.1 Conditions of Termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Agreement may be terminated: (a) at any time before the Closing by either the Company, on the one hand, or the Purchaser, on the other hand, if any of the conditions to Closing to which such party is entitled to the benefit of shall have become permanently incapable of fulfillment and shall not have been waived in writing (to the extent permitted by applicable Law); (b) at any time after the date that is 60 days after the date of this Agreement by either the Company, on the one hand, or the Purchaser, on the other hand, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before such date; (c) at any time upon the written consent of the Company and the Purchaser; or (d) upon the withdrawal by the Company of the Registration Statement provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the preceding clause (a) or clause (b) shall not be available to a party if the inability to satisfy any of the conditions to Closing was due primarily to the failure of such party to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement.

8.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of any termination pursuant to Section 8.1, this Agreement shall become null and void and have no further effect, with no liability on the part of the Company or the Purchaser, or their respective Affiliates or Representatives, with respect to this Agreement, except (a) for the terms of this Section 8.2 and Section 9, which shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and (b) that nothing in this Section 8.2 shall relieve any party hereto from liability or damages incurred or suffered by any other party resulting from any intentional (x) breach of any representation or warranty of such first party or (y) failure of such first party to perform a covenant thereof. As used in the foregoing sentence, “intentional” shall mean an act or omission by such party which such party actually knew, or reasonably should have known, would constitute a breach of this Agreement by such party.

9.2 Interpretation. The term “or” when used in this Agreement is not exclusive.

All references herein to the Subsidiaries of a Person shall be deemed to include all direct and indirect Subsidiaries of such Person, unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires. The parties hereto agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any Law, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document.

9.6 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof that would result in the application of any law other than the laws of the State of New York.

(b) Each party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably and unconditionally, with respect to any matter or dispute arising under, or in connection with, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (i) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and any appellate courts thereof (and covenants not to commence any legal action or proceeding in any other venue or jurisdiction); (ii) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same; (iii) agrees that service of process in any such action will be in accordance with the laws of the State of New York but that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law; and (iv) waives any and all immunity (including sovereign immunity) from suit, execution, attachment or other legal process.

(c) EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY COURT PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF AND PERMITTED UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, AS APPLICABLE.

9.7 Delays or Omissions; Waiver. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power, or remedy accruing to a party upon any breach or default of another party under this Agreement shall impair any such right, power, or remedy of such party, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in a ny similar breach or default

 

14

Any agreement on the part of a party or parties hereto to any waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party or parties, as applicable. Any delay in exercising any right under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right.

9.8 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that the obligations imposed on them in this Agreement are special, unique and of an extraordinary character, and that irreparable damages for which money damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the parties hereto do not perform the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled, at law or in equity; and the parties hereto further agree to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond or other security in connection with the obtaining of any such injunctive or other equitable relief. Each of the parties hereto agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief as provided herein on the basis that (x) any party has an adequate remedy at law or (y) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.

9.11 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement does not create any rights, claims or benefits inuring to any Person that is not a party hereto nor create or establish any third party beneficiary hereto. Without limiting the foregoing, the representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the parties hereto and are for the sole benefit of the parties hereto. In some instances, the representations and warranties in this Agreement may represent an allocation among the parties hereto of risks associated with particular matters regardless of the knowledge of any of the parties hereto. Consequently, Persons other than the parties hereto may not rely upon the representations and warranties in this Agreement as characterizations of actual facts or circumstances as of the date of this Agreement or as of any other date.
