Re:    Perficient, Inc.’s Exchange of 1.250% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned investor (the “Investor”), for itself and on behalf of the beneficial owners listed on Exhibit A hereto (the “Accounts”) for whom the Investor holds contractual and investment authority (each, including the Investor if it is a party exchanging Old Notes (as defined below), an “Exchanging Investor”) hereby agrees to exchange (the “Exchange”), with Perficient, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 1.250% Convertible Senior notes due 2025, CUSIP 71375U AD3 (the “Old Notes”) set forth in Exhibit A hereto that it beneficially owns for (1) cash (the “Cash Consideration”) in an amount equal to the sum of (x) 163.0% of the principal amount of Old Notes to be exchanged; (y) accrued interest on such Old Notes to be exchanged from, and including, August 1, 2021 to, but excluding, the Closing Date (as defined below), calculated in accordance with the Existing Indenture (as defined below); and (z) cash payable in lieu of delivering any fractional share, as provided below; and (2) 8.6004 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share, CUSIP 71375 U101 (the “Common Stock”), per $1,000 principal amount of such Old Notes to be exchanged, provided, however, that if the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable to any Exchanging Investor pursuant to this clause (2) is not a whole number, then, in lieu of issuing any fractional share of Common Stock, the Company will deliver to such Exchanging Investor a cash amount equal to the product of the related fraction and $147.6458 per share (the shares of Common Stock deliverable pursuant to this clause (2), the “Exchange Shares,” and the Exchange Shares, together with the Cash Consideration deliverable pursuant to clause (1) above, the “Exchange Consideration”).
The Old Notes were issued pursuant to that certain Indenture (the “Existing Indenture”), dated as of August 14, 2020, between the Company, as issuer, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Old Notes Trustee”). If only one Exchanging Investor is identified in Exhibit A hereto, then each reference in this Exchange Agreement to “Exchanging Investors” will be deemed to be a reference to such Exchanging Investor identified in Exhibit A hereto, mutatis mutandis.
The Investor understands that the Exchange is being made without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any securities laws of any state of the United States or of any other jurisdiction, and the Exchange Shares are only being offered to 
- 1 -








“qualified institutional buyers” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) in reliance on a private placement exemption from registration under the Securities Act.
1.    Agreement to Exchange. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Exchange Agreement, the Investor hereby agrees to exchange, and to cause each other Exchanging Investor, if any, to exchange, an aggregate principal amount of the Old Notes set forth on the signature page hereto for the Exchange Consideration.
    The Exchange will occur in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3 hereof.
2.    The Closing. The closing of the Exchange (the “Closing”) will take place at the offices of Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner LLP, One Metropolitan Square, 211 North Broadway, Suite 3600, St. Louis, MO 63102, at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the later of (a) November 9, 2021; (b) such date as the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 6 are satisfied or waived; and (c) such other time and place as the Company and the Investor may agree (such later date, the “Closing Date”).
3.    Exchange. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Exchange Agreement, the Investor hereby, for itself and on behalf of each Exchanging Investor, sells, assigns and transfers to, or upon the order of, the Company, all right, title and interest in such portion of the Old Notes as indicated on Exhibit A hereto, waives any and all other rights with respect to such Old Notes and the Existing Indenture and releases and discharges the Company from any and all claims the Investor and the Accounts may now have, or may have in the future, arising out of, or related to, such Old Notes, including, without limitation, any claims arising from any existing or past defaults under the Existing Indenture, or any claims that the Investor or any Exchanging Investor is entitled to receive additional interest with respect to the Old Notes.
At or prior to 9:30 a.m., New York City time, on the Closing Date, the Investor agrees to direct the eligible participant of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) through which each Exchanging Investor holds a beneficial interest in the Old Notes to submit a withdrawal instruction through DTC’s Deposits and Withdrawal at Custodian (“DWAC”) program to the Old Notes Trustee), for the aggregate principal amount of the Old Notes to be exchanged pursuant to this Exchange Agreement (the “DWAC Withdrawal”).
DTC will act as securities depositary for the Exchange Shares. At or prior to 9:30 a.m. New York City time on the Closing Date, the Investor agrees to direct an eligible DTC participant to submit a deposit instruction (the “Exchange Shares DWAC Deposit”) through DTC’s DWAC program to Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as DTC custodian for the Common Stock (the “Transfer Agent”), for the aggregate number of Exchange Shares that it is entitled to receive pursuant to this Exchange Agreement, or comply with such other settlement procedures mutually agreed in writing by the Investor and the Company. The Exchange Consideration will not be delivered until a valid DWAC Withdrawal of the Old Notes has been received and accepted by the Old Notes Trustee. If the Closing does not occur, any Old Notes submitted for DWAC Withdrawal will be returned to the DTC participant that submitted the withdrawal instruction in accordance with the procedures of DTC. The Investor acknowledges that each of the DWAC Withdrawal and the Exchange Shares DWAC Deposit must be 
- 2 -






posted on the Closing Date and that if it is posted before the Closing Date, then it will expire unaccepted and must be resubmitted on the Closing Date.
For the convenience of each Exchanging Investor, attached hereto as Exhibit B is a summary of the delivery instructions that must be followed to settle the Exchange through DTC.
The Investor acknowledges and understands that other investors are participating in similar exchanges, each of which contemplates a DWAC Withdrawal and an Exchange Shares DWAC Deposit. The Company intends to complete the Exchange Shares DWAC Deposit concurrently for all investors who have submitted valid DWAC Withdrawals and Exchange Shares DWAC Deposits by the deadline above. In the event that the Investor complies with the deadline above for the DWAC Withdrawal and other investors do not, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the New Notes Exchange Shares are delivered to the Investor pursuant to the Exchange Shares DWAC Deposit on the Closing Date. However, in the event that such Exchange Shares are not delivered on the Closing Date, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the same will be delivered on the business day immediately following the Closing Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter.
On the Closing Date, subject to satisfaction of the conditions precedent specified in this Exchange Agreement, and the prior receipt of a valid DWAC Withdrawal conforming with the aggregate principal amount of the Old Notes to be exchanged by each Exchanging Investor and a valid Exchange Shares DWAC Deposit conforming with the aggregate number of Exchange Shares to be issued to such Exchanging Investor in the Exchange, the Company hereby agrees to (1) pay the applicable Cash Consideration to such Exchanging Investor by wire transfer to the account in the United States of such Exchanging Investor set forth in Exhibit A to this Exchange Agreement and (2) deliver, by acceptance of such Exchange Shares DWAC Deposit, such Exchange Shares (or comply with such other settlement procedures mutually agreed in writing by the Company and such Exchanging Investor) to the DTC account of such Exchanging Investor specified on Exhibit A to this Exchange Agreement.
If (w) the Old Notes Trustee is unable to locate the DWAC Withdrawal or (x) or the Transfer Agent is unable to locate the Exchange Shares DWAC Deposit or (y) such DWAC Withdrawal does not conform to the Old Notes to be exchanged in the Exchange or such Exchange Shares DWAC Deposit does not conform to the Exchange Shares to be issued in the Exchange, then the Company will promptly notify the Investor. If, because of the occurrence of an event described in clause (w), (x) or (y) of the preceding sentence, the Cash Consideration is not paid or the Exchange Shares are not delivered on the Closing Date, then such Cash Consideration or Exchange Shares, as applicable will be paid or delivered, as applicable, on the first business day following the Closing Date (or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter) on which all applicable conditions set forth in clauses (w), (x) or (y) of the first sentence of this paragraph have been cured.
All questions as to the form of all documents and the validity and acceptance of the Old Notes will be determined by the Company, in its reasonable discretion, which determination will be final and binding.
- 3 -






All authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred in this Exchange Agreement will survive the dissolution of the Investor, and any representation, warranty, undertaking and obligation of the Investor hereunder will be binding upon the trustees in bankruptcy, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the Investor.
4.    Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to the Exchanging Investors and covenants that:

(c)    The Exchange and the other transactions contemplated thereby will not (i) contravene any law, rule or regulation binding on the Company or any subsidiary thereof or any judgment or order of any court or arbitrator or governmental or regulatory authority applicable to the Company or any such subsidiary, (ii) constitute a breach or violation or result in a default under any loan agreement, mortgage, lease or other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which it is bound or (iii) constitute a breach or violation or result in a default under the organizational documents of the Company or any subsidiary thereof, except, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, for such contraventions, conflicts, violations or defaults that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect on the business, properties, management, financial position, stockholders’ equity or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole or on the performance by the Company of its obligations under this Exchange Agreement.
(d)    No consent, approval, authorization, order, license, registration or qualification of or with any court or governmental or regulatory authority is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of its obligations under this Exchange Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Exchange Agreement, except such as have been obtained or made (or will, at the Closing, have been obtained or made) by the Company.
(e)    This Exchange Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company.
(f)    At or before the Closing, the Company will have submitted to the Nasdaq Stock Market an Application for Listing of Additional Shares with respect to the Exchange Shares. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the listing of the Exchange Shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Market for so long as the Common Stock is then so listed.

(g)    Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Investor, made on behalf of itself and the Exchanging Investors, (i) the issuance of the Exchange Shares in exchange for the Old Notes pursuant to this Exchange Agreement is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act; and (ii) when issued pursuant to this Exchange Agreement, the Exchange Shares will be freely transferable without restrictions as to volume and manner of sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

(h)    The Company is not and, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Exchange Agreement, will not be required to register as an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) thereunder.
(i)    The Covered SEC Filings (as defined below), taken as a whole, do not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. As used herein, “Covered SEC Filings” means each of the following documents, in the form they have been filed with the SEC and including any amendments thereto filed with the SEC: (w) the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020; (x) the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2021; (y) those portions of the Company’s 2021 Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A that are incorporated by reference into the Annual Report referred to in clause (w) above; and (z) the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K (excluding any Current Reports or portions thereof that are furnished, and not filed, pursuant to Item 2.02 or Item 7.01 of Form 8-K, and any related exhibits) filed with the SEC after December 31, 2020.
5.    Representations and Warranties of the Investor. The Investor hereby, for itself and on behalf of each Exchanging Investor, represents and warrants to and covenants with the Company that:
(a)    The Investor, for itself and on behalf of each Exchanging Investor, has full power and authority to exchange, sell, assign and transfer the Old Notes to be exchanged hereby and to enter into this Exchange Agreement and perform all obligations required to be performed by the Investor or such Exchanging Investor hereunder.
(b)    Each of the Exchanging Investors is and, immediately before the Closing, will be the beneficial owner of the Old Notes set forth on Exhibit A. Neither the Investor nor any other Exchanging Investor is, as of the date of this Exchange Agreement, or, at the Closing, will be, and, at no time during the three months preceding the date of this Exchange Agreement or preceding the Closing, was or will any of them be, a “person” that is an “affiliate” of the Company (as such terms are defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act).
- 5 -






(c)    When the Old Notes are exchanged pursuant to this Exchange Agreement, the Company will acquire good, marketable and unencumbered title to the Old Notes, free and clear of all Liens.
(d)    The Exchange will not (i) contravene any law, rule or regulation binding on the Investor or any of the Exchanging Investors or any investment guideline or restriction applicable to the Investor or any of the Exchanging Investors, or (ii) constitute a breach or violation or result in a default under the organizational documents of the Investor or any Exchanging Investor or any material loan agreement, mortgage, lease or other agreement or instrument to which the Investor or any Exchanging Investor is a party or by which it is bound.
(e)    The Investor and each Exchanging Investor is a resident of the jurisdiction set forth on Exhibit A attached to the Exchange Agreement.
(f)    The Investor and each Exchanging Investor will comply with all applicable laws and regulations in effect in any jurisdiction in which the Investor or any of the Exchanging Investors acquires any Exchange Shares pursuant to the Exchange and will obtain any consent, approval or permission required for such purchases, acquisitions or sales under the laws and regulations of any jurisdiction to which the Investor or any of the Exchanging Investors is subject or in which the Investor or any Exchanging Investor acquires any Exchange Shares pursuant to the Exchange.
(g)    The Investor and each Exchanging Investor acknowledges that no person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representation concerning the Company or the Exchange other than as contained in this Exchange Agreement and the Covered SEC Filings. The Company takes no responsibility for, and provides no assurance as to the reliability of, any other information that others may provide to the Investor or any Exchanging Investor.
(h)    The Investor and each Exchanging Investor understands and accepts that the Exchange Shares to be acquired in the Exchange involve risks. Each of the Investor and the Exchanging Investors has such knowledge, skill and experience in business, financial and investment matters that such person is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the Exchange and an investment in the Exchange Shares. With the assistance of each Exchanging Investor’s own professional advisors, to the extent that the Exchanging Investor has deemed appropriate, each Exchanging Investor has made its own legal, tax, accounting and financial evaluation of the merits and risks of an investment in the Exchange Shares and the consequences of the Exchange and this Exchange Agreement. Each Exchanging Investor has considered the suitability of the Exchange Shares as an investment in light of its own circumstances and financial condition, and each of the Investor and the Exchanging Investor is able to bear the risks associated with an investment in the Exchange Shares.
(i)    The Investor confirms that it and each Exchanging Investor is not relying on any statement (written or oral), representation or warranty made by, or on behalf of, the Company, Jefferies LLC (“Jefferies”), Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (“Morgan Stanley”) or any of their respective affiliates as investment, tax or other advice or as a recommendation to participate in the Exchange and receive the Exchange Consideration in exchange for Old Notes. Neither the Company, Jefferies, Morgan Stanley nor any of their respective affiliates is acting or has acted as 
- 6 -






an advisor to the Investor or any Exchanging Investor in deciding whether to participate in the Exchange and to exchange Old Notes for the Exchange Consideration.
(j)    The Investor confirms that none of the Company, Jefferies, Morgan Stanley or any of their respective affiliates have (i) given any guarantee or representation as to the potential success, return, effect or benefit (either legal, regulatory, tax, financial, accounting or otherwise) of an investment in the Exchange Shares; or (ii) made any representation to the Investor or any Exchanging Investor regarding the legality of an investment in the Exchange Shares under applicable investment guidelines, laws or regulations. In deciding to participate in the Exchange, each of the Investor and the Exchanging Investors is not relying on the advice or recommendations of the Company, Jefferies or Morgan Stanley, or their respective affiliates, and has made its own independent decision that the terms of the Exchange and the investment in the Exchange Shares are suitable and appropriate for it.
(k)    Each of the Investor and the Exchanging Investors is familiar with the business and financial condition and operations of the Company and has had the opportunity to conduct its own investigation of the Company and the Exchange Shares. Each of the Investor and the Exchanging Investors has had access to and reviewed the Covered SEC Filings and such other information concerning the Company and the Exchange Shares it deems necessary to enable it to make an informed investment decision concerning the Exchange. Each of the Investor and the Exchanging Investors has been offered the opportunity to ask questions of the Company and received answers thereto, as it deems necessary to enable it to make an informed investment decision concerning the Exchange.
(l)    Each of the Investor and the Exchanging Investors understands that no federal or state agency has passed upon the merits or risks of an investment in the Exchange Shares or made any recommendation or endorsement, or made any finding or determination concerning the fairness or advisability, of such investment or the consequences of the Exchange and this Exchange Agreement.
(m)    Each Exchanging Investor and each account for which it is acting is a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act. Each of the Investor and the Exchanging Investors agrees to furnish any additional information requested by the Company or any of its affiliates to assure compliance with applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws in connection with the Exchange.
(n)    Each Exchanging Investor is acquiring the Exchange Shares solely for such Exchanging Investor’s own beneficial account, for investment purposes, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution of the Exchange Shares in violation of the Securities Act. Each of the Investor and the Exchanging Investors understands that the offer and sale of the Exchange Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws by reason of specific exemptions under the provisions thereof that depend in part upon the investment intent of the Investor and the Exchanging Investors and the accuracy of the other representations made by the Investor, for itself and on behalf of each Exchanging Investor, in this Exchange Agreement. Each of the Investor and the Exchanging Investors understands that the Company and its affiliates are relying upon the representations and agreements contained in 
- 7 -






this Exchange Agreement (and any supplemental information) for the purpose of determining whether the Exchange meets the requirements for such exemptions.
(o)    The Investor acknowledges that the terms of the Exchange have been mutually negotiated between the Investor and the Company.

(q)    The Investor understands that, unless the Investor notifies the Company in writing to the contrary at or before the Closing, each of the Investor’s representations and warranties, on behalf of itself and each Exchanging Investor, contained in this Exchange Agreement will be deemed to have been reaffirmed and confirmed as of the Closing, taking into account all information received by the Investor and each Exchanging Investor.
(r)    The Investor was given a meaningful opportunity to negotiate the terms of the Exchange.
(s)    The Investor’s and each Exchanging Investor’s participation in the Exchange was not conditioned by the Company on the Investor or any Exchanging Investor’s exchange of a minimum principal amount of Old Notes for the Exchange Consideration.
(t)    The Investor had a sufficient amount of time to consider whether to participate in the Exchange, and neither the Company, Jefferies nor Morgan Stanley, nor any of their respective affiliates or agents, has placed any pressure on the Investor to respond to the opportunity to participate in the Exchange.
(u)    No later than one (1) business day after the date hereof, the Investor agrees to deliver to the Company settlement instructions substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached to the Exchange Agreement for each of the Exchanging Investors.
(v)    The Investor acknowledges and agrees that neither Jefferies nor Morgan Stanley has acted as a financial advisor or fiduciary to the Investor or any Exchanging Investor and that each of Jefferies and Morgan Stanley and their respective directors, officers, employees, representatives and controlling persons have no responsibility for making, and have not made, any independent investigation of the information contained herein or in the Company’s SEC filings and make no representation or warranty to the Investor or any Exchanging Investor, express or implied, with respect to the Company, the Old Notes or the Exchange Consideration or the accuracy, completeness or adequacy of the information provided to the Investor or any Exchanging Investor or any other publicly available information, nor will any of the foregoing persons be liable for any loss or damages of any kind resulting from the use of the information contained therein or otherwise supplied to the Investor or any Exchanging Investor.
(w)    If the Investor is exchanging any Old Notes or acquiring any of the Exchange Consideration as a fiduciary or agent for one or more accounts (including any Accounts that are Exchanging Investors), it represents that it has (i) the requisite investment discretion with respect to each such account necessary to effect the Exchange, (ii) full power to make the foregoing

Exhibit C
Under U.S. federal income tax law, a holder who exchanges Old Notes for the Exchange Consideration generally must provide such holder’s correct taxpayer identification number (“TIN”) on IRS Form W-9 (attached hereto) or otherwise establish a basis for exemption from backup withholding. A TIN is generally an individual holder’s social security number or a holder’s employer identification number. If the correct TIN is not provided, the holder may be subject to a $50 penalty imposed by the IRS. In addition, certain payments made to holders may be subject to U.S. backup withholding tax (currently set at 24% of the payment). If a holder is required to provide a TIN but does not have the TIN, the holder should consult its tax advisor regarding how to obtain a TIN. Certain holders are not subject to these backup withholding and reporting requirements. Non-U.S. Holders generally may establish their status as exempt recipients from backup withholding by submitting a properly completed applicable IRS Form W-8 (available from the Company or the IRS at www.irs.gov), signed, under penalties of perjury, attesting to such holder’s exempt foreign status. U.S. backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the U.S. federal income tax liability of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding how to complete the appropriate forms and to determine whether they are exempt from backup withholding or other withholding taxes.
