ARTICLE 2

Corporate Governance

     Section 2.01. Composition of the Board.

     (a) The Board will consist of five directors, of whom two directors will be designated by
Trinity (such designees initially to be Timothy P. McAdam and Noel J. Fenton) (the “Trinity
Directors”). Of those directors who are not the Trinity Directors, one director will be designated
by Intersouth (such designee initially to be Kip Frey) (the “Intersouth Director”), one director
will be the Chief Executive Officer of SciQuest for so long as he or she is employed by SciQuest,
and one director will be an independent director designated collectively by Trinity and Intersouth
(such designee initially to be Bruce J. Boehm) (the “Independent Director”). A designee of Trinity
will act as the Chairman of the Board. The Independent Director will not be either an “Affiliate”
or an “Associate” (as such terms are used within the meaning of Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act)
of any Sponsor.

     (b) Each Stockholder entitled to vote for the election of directors to the Board agrees that
it will vote its Shares or execute a proxy or written consent, as the case may be, and take all
other necessary actions (including causing SciQuest Holdings to call a special meeting of
stockholders) in order to ensure that the composition of the Board is as set forth in this Section
2.01.

     (c) The right of any Sponsor to designate a director or directors pursuant to this Article 2
will (i) be reduced to the right to designate only one director at such time as the Aggregate
Ownership of Common Shares held by such Sponsor divided by the Aggregate Ownership of such Common
Shares by all Stockholders is less than 10% and (ii) terminate at such time as the Aggregate
Ownership of Common Shares held by such Sponsor divided by the Aggregate Ownership of such Common
Shares by all Stockholders is less than 5%. The obligations imposed on the Stockholders to give
effect to the rights to designate

9

 

directors set forth in this Section 2.01 will terminate as to any
Person when such Person’s right to designate a director is terminated.

     (d) SciQuest Holdings agrees to cause each individual designated
pursuant to Section 2.01(a) or 2.03 to be nominated to serve as a director on the Board, and
to take all other necessary actions (including calling a special meeting of the Board and/or
stockholders) to ensure that the composition of the Board is as set forth in this Section 2.01.

     Section 2.02. Removal. Each Stockholder agrees that if, at any time, it is then entitled to
vote for the removal of directors of SciQuest Holdings, it will not vote any of its Shares in favor
of the removal of any director who will have been designated or nominated in accordance with
Section 2.01(a), unless such removal is for Cause or the Sponsor or Sponsors entitled to designate
or nominate such director have consented to such removal in writing, provided that if the Sponsor
or Sponsors entitled to designate or nominate any director pursuant to Section 2.01(a) request in
writing the removal, with or without Cause, of such director, such Stockholder will vote its Shares
in favor of such removal. Removal for “Cause” means removal of a director because of such
director’s (a) willful and continued failure substantially to perform his or her statutory or
fiduciary duties with SciQuest Holdings in his or her established position, (b) participation in a
fraud, act of dishonesty or other misconduct that is injurious, monetarily or otherwise, to
SciQuest Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, (c) being charged with or pleading guilty to a felony
or a crime involving fraud or dishonesty, (d) violation of any state or federal law that has an
adverse effect on SciQuest Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or (e) abuse of illegal drugs or
other controlled substances or habitual intoxication.

     Section 2.03. Vacancies. If, as a result of death, disability, retirement, resignation,
removal (with or without Cause) or otherwise, there exists or occurs any vacancy on the Board:

     (a) the Person or Persons entitled under Section 2.01 to designate or nominate such director
whose death, disability, retirement, resignation or removal resulted in such vacancy may, subject
to the provisions of Section 2.01, designate another individual (the “Replacement Nominee”) to fill
such vacancy to serve as a director of SciQuest Holdings; and

     (b) subject to Section 2.01, each Stockholder then entitled to vote for the election of the
Replacement Nominee as a director of SciQuest Holdings agrees that it will vote its Shares, or
execute a proxy or written consent, as the case may be, in order to ensure that the Replacement
Nominee be elected to the Board.

     Section 2.04. Meetings. The Board will hold a regularly scheduled meeting at least once
every calendar quarter.

10

 

     Section 2.05. Action by the Board.

     (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.05, all actions of the Board will require
(i) the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the directors present at a duly convened meeting
of the Board at which a quorum is present or (ii) the unanimous written consent of the Board,
provided that, in the event that there is a vacancy on the Board and an individual has been
designated or nominated to fill such vacancy, the first order of business will be to fill such
vacancy.

     (b) The Board may create executive, compensation, audit and such other committees as it may
determine. Trinity and Intersouth will each be entitled to have at least one designee on any
committee created by the Board.

     (c) No action by SciQuest Holdings will be taken with respect to any of the following matters
without the affirmative approval of the Board, including the affirmative approval of at least
two-thirds of the directors serving on the Board at the time of the approval:

     (i) (A) any merger or consolidation of SciQuest Holdings with or into any Person,
other than its wholly owned Subsidiary, or of any Subsidiary of SciQuest Holdings with or
into any Person other than SciQuest Holdings or any other wholly owned Subsidiary of
SciQuest Holdings, or (B) except as contemplated in Section 4.02, any sale of SciQuest
Holdings or any Subsidiary of SciQuest Holdings or any significant operations of SciQuest
Holdings or any Subsidiary of SciQuest Holdings or any joint venture transaction,
acquisition or disposition of assets, business, operations or securities by SciQuest
Holdings or any Subsidiary of SciQuest Holdings (in a single transaction or a series of
related transactions) having a value in each case in this clause (B) in excess of
$10,000,000,

     (ii) the declaration of any dividend on or the making of any distribution with
respect to, or the recapitalization, reclassification, redemption, repurchase or other
acquisition of, any securities of SciQuest Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, except as
expressly permitted by this Agreement,

     (iii) any liquidation, dissolution, commencement of bankruptcy, liquidation or
similar proceedings with respect to SciQuest Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries,

     (iv) any incurrence, refinancing, alteration of material terms or prepayment by
SciQuest Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries of indebtedness for borrowed money in excess
of $7,000,000 in the aggregate (or the guaranty by SciQuest Holdings or any of its
Subsidiaries of any such indebtedness), or the issuance of any security by SciQuest
Holdings

11

 

or any of its Subsidiaries (not including issuances of such securities in connection with
employee or stock option plans previously approved by the Board pursuant to clause (vii) below),
in each case other than as specifically contemplated by this Agreement,

     (v) any capital expenditure or capital lease in excess of $500,000 which is not
specifically contemplated by the annual business plan of SciQuest Holdings or any of its
Subsidiaries,

     (vi) any entering into, amending or modifying in any material respect any agreements of
SciQuest Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries providing for payments by or to SciQuest Holdings or
such Subsidiary in excess of $250,000 per annum or $1,000,000 in the aggregate;

     (vii) any determination of compensation, benefits, perquisites and other incentives for
senior management of SciQuest Holdings or its Subsidiaries and the approval or amendment of any
plans or contracts in connection therewith, and any approval or amendment to any equity or other
compensation or benefit plans for employees of SciQuest Holdings or its Subsidiaries,

     (viii) any appointment or dismissal of any of the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive
Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer or Chief Operating Officer or any other executive
officer in any similar capacity of SciQuest Holdings or its Subsidiaries,

     (ix) any change in accounting or tax principles, policies with respect to the financial
statements, records or affairs of SciQuest Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, except as required
by generally accepted accounting principles or by law or any other matters that could affect any
regulatory status or tax liability of SciQuest Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, or any
Stockholder with respect to the investment by such Stockholder in SciQuest Holdings,

     (x) any appointment or removal of the auditors, regular legal counsel, financial
advisors, underwriters, investment bankers or company-wide insurance providers of SciQuest Holdings
or any of its Subsidiaries,

     (xi) any amendment to this Agreement (including, without limitation, any amendment
increasing or decreasing the number of directors that comprise the entire Board in accordance with
Section 2.01), any exercise or waiver of SciQuest Holdings’ or SciQuest’s rights under this
Agreement, any amendment to the Charter or Bylaws or any adoption of or amendment to the
certificate of incorporation or bylaws of any Subsidiary of SciQuest Holdings,

     (xii) any approval of the annual business plan, budget and long-term strategic plan of
SciQuest Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries,

12

 

     (xiii) any modification of the long-term business strategy or scope of the
business of SciQuest Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or any material customer
relationships thereof,

     (xiv) authorize, create or issue shares of any class or series of stock having
any preference or priority superior to or on a parity with any such preference or
priority of the Preferred Stock, or

     (xv) any contract with, obligation to or transaction or series of transactions
between, SciQuest Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries and one or more of their
stockholders or their Affiliates.

     Section 2.06. Conflicting Charter or Bylaw Provisions. Each Stockholder will vote its Shares
or execute proxies or written consents, as the case may be, and will take all other necessary
actions, to ensure that the Charter and Bylaws (a) facilitate, and do not at any time conflict
with, any provision of this Agreement and (b) permit each Stockholder to receive the benefits to
which each such Stockholder is entitled under this Agreement.

     Section 2.07. Notice of Meeting. Each director will receive notice and the agenda of each
meeting of the Board or any committee thereof at least five days prior to such meeting.

     Section 2.08. Subsidiary Governance. SciQuest Holdings, SciQuest and each Stockholder agree
that (a) the board of directors of each Subsidiary of SciQuest Holdings will have the same
composition as the board of directors of SciQuest Holdings, and (b) the board of directors of any
Subsidiary of SciQuest Holdings will be subject to all the provisions of this Article 2. Each
Stockholder agrees to vote its Shares and to cause its representatives on the Board, subject to
their fiduciary duties, to vote and take other appropriate action to effectuate the agreements in
this Section 2.08 in respect of any Subsidiary of SciQuest Holdings.

     Section 2.09. Affiliate Transactions. SciQuest Holdings will not, and will not permit any of
its Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of
its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or
amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with or for
the benefit of, any Affiliate of SciQuest Holdings or such Subsidiary, unless such transaction is
on terms that are no less favorable to SciQuest Holdings or such Subsidiary than those that would
have been obtained in a comparable transaction by SciQuest Holdings or such Subsidiary with an
unrelated Person.

     Section 2.10. Observer Rights. As long as (a) a Sponsor owns five percent or more of
Aggregate Ownership of Company Securities and (b) such Sponsor does not have a right to
designate more than one director pursuant to Section 2.01(a), SciQuest Holdings will permit
one representative of such

13

 

Sponsor to attend meetings of the Board and any committees of the Board, as well as meetings of the
board of directors of each material Subsidiary of SciQuest Holdings (and any committees thereof),
as a nonvoting observer (each, an “Observer”). Each Observer will be entitled to receive copies of
notices, minutes, consents and other materials provided to the Board or a committee of the Board,
as the case may be. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.10, SciQuest Holdings may
withhold information from any Observer or exclude any Observer from any meeting or portion thereof
if the Observer’s access to such information or attendance at such meeting could adversely affect
the attorney-client privilege between SciQuest Holdings and its counsel.

ARTICLE 3

Restrictions on Transfer

     Section 3.01. General.

     (a) Each Stockholder understands and agrees that Company Securities purchased pursuant to any
Subscription Agreement have not been registered under the Securities Act and are restricted
securities under such Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Each
Stockholder agrees that it will not Transfer any Company Securities (or solicit any offers in
respect of any Transfer of any Company Securities), except in compliance with the Securities Act,
any applicable foreign or state securities or “blue sky” laws, and the terms and conditions of this
Agreement.

     (b) Any attempt to Transfer any Company Securities not in compliance with this Agreement will
be null and void and SciQuest Holdings will not, and will cause any transfer agent not to, give any
effect in SciQuest Holdings’ stock records to such attempted Transfer.

     Section 3.02. Legends.

     (a) In addition to any other legend that may be required, each certificate for Company
Securities that is issued to any Stockholder will bear a legend in substantially the following

STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT DATED AS OF JULY 28, 2004, COPIES OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED UPON REQUEST FROM
SCIQUEST HOLDINGS, INC. OR ANY SUCCESSOR THERETO.”

14

 

     (b) If any Company Securities ceases to be Registrable Securities under clause (i) or
clause (ii) of the definition thereof, SciQuest Holdings, upon the written request of the holder
thereof, will issue to such holder a new certificate evidencing such shares without the first
sentence of the legend required by Section 3.02(a) endorsed thereon. If any Company Securities
cease to be subject to any and all restrictions on Transfer set forth in this Agreement, SciQuest
Holdings, upon the written request of the holder thereof, will issue to such holder a new
certificate evidencing such Company Securities without the second sentence of the legend required
by Section 3.02(a) endorsed thereon.

     Section 3.03. Permitted Transferees.

     (a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any Stockholder may at any
time Transfer any or all of its Company Securities to one or more of its Permitted Transferees
without the consent of the Board or any other Stockholder or group of Stockholders and without
compliance with Sections 3.04, 3.05, 4.01, 4.02 and 4.03 so long as (i) such Permitted Transferee
will have agreed in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement in the form of Exhibit D
attached hereto and (ii) the Transfer to such Permitted Transferee is not in violation of
applicable federal or state securities laws.

     (b) If any Permitted Transferee of any Stockholder to which Shares have been Transferred
ceases to be a Permitted Transferee of such Stockholder, such Permitted Transferee will, and such
Stockholder will cause such Permitted Transferee to, Transfer back to such Stockholder (or to
another Permitted Transferee of such Stockholder) any Shares it owns on or prior to the date that
such Permitted Transferee ceases to be a Permitted Transferee of such Stockholder.

     Section 3.04. Restrictions on Transfers by the Sponsors.

     (a) Except as provided in Section 3.03, each Sponsor may Transfer its Company Securities
only as follows:

     (i) in a Transfer made in compliance with Section 4.02,

     (ii) in a Transfer made in compliance with Section 4.01, provided that until the
third anniversary of the date of this Agreement, no Sponsor will be permitted to Transfer
any number of any class of Company Securities if such Transfer would cause such Sponsor’s
Aggregate Ownership of such class immediately following such Transfer to fall below
two-thirds of such Sponsor’s Initial Ownership of such class,

     (iii) in a Public Offering in connection with the exercise of its rights under
Article 5 hereof, or

15

 

     (iv) in a Transfer made at the conclusion of the Applicable Lock-Up Period (as
defined in Section 5.04) following a Qualified IPO, in compliance with Rule 144 under the
Securities Act.

     (b) No Sponsor will Transfer Company Securities to an Adverse Person (other than by

at any time.

     Section 3.05. Restrictions on Transfers by the Other Stockholders.

     (a) Except as provided in Section 3.03, each Other Stockholder may transfer its Company
Securities only as follows:

     (i) in a Transfer made in compliance with Section 4.02,

     (ii) in a Transfer made in compliance with Section 4.01, provided that until the
second anniversary of the date of this Agreement, no Other Stockholder will be permitted
to Transfer any number of any class of Company Securities if such Transfer would cause
such Other Stockholder’s Aggregate Ownership of such class immediately following such
Transfer to fall below two-thirds of such Other Stockholder’s Initial Ownership of such
class,

     (iii) in a Public Offering in connection with the exercise of its rights under
Article 5 hereof, or

     (iv) in a Transfer made at the conclusion of the Applicable Lock-Up Period (as
defined in Section 5.04) following a Qualified IPO, in compliance with Rule 144 under the
Securities Act.

     (b) No Other Stockholder will Transfer Company Securities to an Adverse Person (other
than by Transfer pursuant to Section 4.02, in a Public Offering or through a national
securities exchange) at any time.

     Section 3.06. Restrictions on Transfer under a Credit Agreement, Indenture or Other Agreement
for Indebtedness. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 3, if a Transfer
otherwise permitted hereunder would trigger, under the terms of any outstanding credit agreement,
indenture or any other agreement for indebtedness, (a) a Change of Control requiring repayment or
(b) other adverse consequence, then such Transfer will be prohibited.

16

 

ARTICLE 4

Tag-Along Rights; Drag-Along Rights; Preemptive Rights

     Section 4.01. Rights to Participate in Transfer.

     (a) Subject to Sections 3.04, 3.05, 3.06 and 4.01(h), if Trinity proposes to Transfer
(i) some, but not all, of the Shares then held by Trinity to a Third Party, or (ii) all of the
Shares’ then held by Trinity to a Third Party, provided that Trinity has declined to exercise its
Drag-Along Rights pursuant to Section 4.02, whether, in either case, by sale, merger or otherwise
(a “Tag-Along Sale”), the Stockholders other than Trinity holding the same class and series of
Shares proposed to be Transferred by Trinity (each, an
“Eligible Stockholder”) may elect, at their
option, to exercise their rights under this Section 4.01 (each such Eligible Stockholder, a
“Tagging Person”).

     In the event of such a proposed Transfer, Trinity will provide each Eligible Stockholder
written notice of the terms and conditions of such proposed Transfer (“Tag-Along Notice”) and offer
each Tagging Person the opportunity to participate in such sale. The Tag-Along Notice will identify
the number and class of Shares subject to the offer (“Tag-Along Offer”), the cash price at which
the Transfer is proposed to be made, and all other material terms and conditions of the Tag-Along
Offer, including the form of the proposed agreement, if any.

     From the date of the receipt of the Tag-Along Notice, each Tagging Person will have the right
(a “Tag-Along Right”), exercisable by written notice (“Tag-Along Response Notice”) given to Trinity
within 15 Business Days of its receipt of the Tag-Along Notice (the “Tag-Along Notice Period”), to
request that Trinity include in the proposed Transfer the number of Shares of the same class and
series held by such Tagging Person as is specified in the Tag-Along Notice, provided that, if the
aggregate number of Shares proposed to be sold by Trinity and all Tagging Persons in such
transaction exceeds the number of Shares that can be sold on the terms and conditions set forth in
the Tag-Along Notice, then (i) each Tagging Person will be entitled to include in the Tag-Along
Sale only its Tag-Along Portion of its Shares and (ii) Trinity will be entitled to include the
number of Shares proposed to be Transferred by Trinity as set forth in the Tag-Along Notice
(reduced, to the extent necessary, so that each Tagging Person will be able to include its
Tag-Along Portion) and such additional Shares as permitted by Section 4.01(d). Each Tagging Person
that exercises its Tag-Along Rights hereunder will deliver to Trinity or a representative of
Trinity designated in the Tag-Along Notice, together with its Tag-Along Response Notice, the
certificate(s), duly endorsed for transfer, representing such Tagging Person’s Shares to be
included in the Tag-Along Sale, together with a limited power-of-attorney authorizing Trinity to
Transfer such Shares on the same terms and conditions set forth in the Tag-Along Notice. Delivery
of such certificate(s) representing Shares to be Transferred and the limited power-of-attorney
authorizing Trinity to Transfer such Shares will constitute an irrevocable acceptance of the
Tag-Along Offer by such Tagging Persons. Each Tag-Along

17

 

Response Notice will include instructions for payment (by bank or certified check or wire transfer)
of the purchase price for Shares to be sold in such Tag-Along Sale. The Tagging Persons will (i) be
required (A) to bear their proportionate share of any escrows, holdbacks or adjustments in purchase
price and any transaction expenses and (B) to make such representations, warranties and covenants
and enter into such agreements as are customary for transactions of the nature of the Tag-Along
Offer, in each case under the terms of any definitive agreement(s) relating to such Tag-Along Offer
and (ii) benefit from all of the same provisions of the definitive agreement(s) as Trinity, it
being understood that any liability of any Tagging Person for indemnification or similar
post-closing obligations will not exceed the consideration such Tagging Person receives in the
Tag-Along Sale and will not exceed a proportional share of any such liability based on such Tagging
Person’s share of the aggregate consideration in the Tag-Along Sale.

     If, at the end of a 90-day period after such delivery (which 90-day period will be extended if
any of the transactions contemplated by the Tag-Along Offer are subject to regulatory approval
until the expiration of five Business Days after all such approvals have been received, but in no
event later than 180 days following receipt by Trinity of the Tag-Along Response Notice), Trinity
has not completed the Transfer of all such Shares on substantially the same terms and conditions
set forth in the Tag-Along Notice, Trinity will return to each Tagging Person the limited
power-of-attorney (and all copies thereof) together with all certificate(s) representing such
Tagging Person’s Shares delivered for Transfer pursuant to this Section 4.01(a) and not conduct any
Transfer of its Shares without again complying with this Section 4.01(a).

     (b) Concurrently with the consummation of the Tag-Along Sale, Trinity will notify the Tagging
Persons thereof, will remit to the Tagging Persons the total consideration (by bank or certified
check or wire transfer) for the Tagging Persons’ Shares Transferred pursuant thereto, and will,
promptly after the consummation of such Tag-Along Sale, furnish such other evidence of the
completion and time of completion of such Transfer and the terms thereof as may be reasonably
requested by the Tagging Persons.

     (c) If at the termination of the Tag-Along Notice Period any Eligible Stockholder has not
elected to participate in the Tag-Along Sale, such Eligible Stockholder will be deemed to have
waived its rights under Section 4.01(a) with respect to the Transfer of its Shares pursuant to such
Tag-Along Sale.

     (d) If (i) any Eligible Stockholder declines to exercise its Tag-Along Rights or (ii) any
Tagging Person elects to exercise its Tag-Along Rights with respect to less than such Tagging
Person’s Tag-Along Portion, Trinity will be entitled to Transfer, pursuant to the Tag-Along Offer,
a number of Shares held by it equal to the number of Shares constituting, as the case may be, the
Tag-Along Portion of such Eligible Stockholder or the portion of such Tagging Person’s Tag-Along
Portion with respect to which Tag-Along Rights were not exercised.

18

 

     (e) Trinity may Transfer, on behalf of itself and any Tagging Person who exercises the
Tag-Along Rights pursuant to this Section 4.01, the number of Shares subject to the Tag-Along Offer
and elected to be Transferred on the terms and conditions set forth in the Tag-Along Notice within
90 days (or such longer period as extended under Section 4.01(a)) of the date on which all
Tag-Along Rights will have been waived, exercised or expired, provided that if such Tag-Along Sale
is subject to regulatory approval, such 90-day period will be extended until the expiration of five
Business Days after all such approvals have been received, but in no event later than 180 days
following the effective date of the Tag-Along Sale Notice.

     (f) Notwithstanding the requirements of this Section 4.01, Trinity may Transfer its Shares at
any time without complying with the requirements of paragraphs (a) and (b) of Section 4.01 so long
as such Transfer is solely for cash and Trinity deposits into escrow with an independent third
party at the time of Transfer that amount of the consideration received in the sale equal to the
Escrow Amount. The “Escrow Amount” will equal that amount of consideration that all the Eligible
Stockholders would have been entitled to receive if each of the Eligible Stockholders had the
opportunity to participate in the Tag-Along Sale as a Tagging Person to the extent of its Tag-Along
Portion, determined as if each such Eligible Stockholder (i) delivered a Tag-Along Response Notice
to Trinity within the Tag-Along Notice Period and (ii) proposed to include all of its Shares which
it would have been entitled to include in the Tag-Along Sale.

     No later than the date of the consummation of the Tag-Along Sale, Trinity will notify SciQuest
Holdings in writing of the proposed Transfer. Such notice (the “Escrow Notice”) will set forth the
information required in the Tag-Along Notice, and in addition, such notice will state the name of
the escrow agent and the account number of the escrow account. SciQuest Holdings will promptly, and
in any event within ten days, deliver or cause to be delivered the Escrow Notice to each Eligible
Stockholder.

     An Eligible Stockholder may exercise the tag-along right described in this paragraph (f) by
delivery to Trinity, within 15 days of the date SciQuest Holdings delivered or caused to be
delivered the Escrow Notice, of (i) a written notice specifying the number of Shares it proposes to
sell (which such number will not exceed such Eligible Stockholder’s Tag-Along Portion), and (ii)
the certificate(s) representing such Shares, with transfer powers duly endorsed in blank.

     Promptly after the expiration of the 15th day after SciQuest Holdings has delivered or caused
to be delivered the Escrow Notice, (i) Trinity will purchase that number of the class and series of
Shares as Trinity would have been required to include in the sale had Trinity complied with the
provisions of Section 4.01(a), (ii) SciQuest Holdings will cause to be released from the escrow to
the Eligible Stockholder from whom Trinity purchases Shares pursuant to clause (i) of this
paragraph the applicable amount of consideration due to such Eligible

19

 

Stockholder, and (iii) all remaining funds and other consideration held in escrow will be released
to Trinity.

     (g) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 4.01, there will be no liability
on the part of Trinity to the Tagging Persons (other than the obligation to return any certificates
representing the Tagging Person’s Shares received by Trinity or its representative) if the Transfer
of Shares pursuant to Section 4.01 is not consummated for whatever reason. Whether to effect a
Transfer of Shares pursuant to this Section 4.01 by Trinity is in the sole and absolute discretion
of Trinity.

     (h) The provisions of this Section 4.01 will not apply to any proposed Transfer of any
class of Shares by Trinity (i) in a Public Offering or pursuant to Rule 144, (ii) to a Permitted
Transferee or (iii) pursuant to Section 4.02.

     (i) The rights of any Eligible Stockholder with respect to any class of Company
Securities under this Section 4.01 will terminate at such time as such Eligible Stockholder’s
Aggregate Ownership of such class divided by its Initial Ownership of such class is less than 35%.

     Section 4.02. Right to Compel Participation in Certain Transfers.

     (a) If Trinity proposes (i) to Transfer all of the Shares then held by Trinity to a
Third Party in a bona fide sale or (ii) a Transfer in which the Shares to be Transferred by Trinity
constitute more than 50% of the outstanding Company Securities (a “Compelled Sale”), Trinity may,
with the written consent of Intersouth (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), require all
other Stockholders, including Intersouth, to Transfer the Shares then held by each such Stockholder
(“Drag-Along Rights”), and in the case of options, warrants or rights to purchase or subscribe for
Shares (subject to and immediately before the closing of the Compelled Sale), to exercise such
number of vested options, warrants or rights then held by each such Stockholder as to include the
Shares acquired from the exercise of such options, warrants or rights in the Compelled Sale, for
the same consideration per share and on the same terms and conditions as Trinity, provided that any
such Stockholder who holds such options, warrants or rights, the exercise price per share of which
is greater than the per share price at which the Shares are to be Transferred by Trinity to the
Third Party, may, if required by Trinity to exercise such options, warrants or rights, in place of
such exercise, submit to irrevocable cancellation thereof without any liability for payment of any
exercise price with respect thereto. If the Compelled Sale is not consummated with respect to any
Shares acquired upon exercise of such options, warrants or rights, or if the Compelled Sale is not
consummated, such options, warrants or rights will be deemed not to have been exercised or
canceled, as applicable. Trinity will provide written notice of such Compelled Sale to all
Stockholders (other than Trinity) (a “Compelled Sale Notice”) not later than the 15th day prior to
the closing of the proposed Compelled Sale. The Compelled Sale Notice will identify the Transferee,
the number of Company Securities subject to the

20

 

Compelled Sale, the consideration for which a Transfer is proposed to be made (the “Compelled Sale
Price”) and all other material terms and conditions of the Compelled Sale. Each Stockholder will be
required to participate in the Compelled Sale on the terms and conditions set forth in the
Compelled Sale Notice and to tender all of its Company Securities as set forth below. The price
payable in such Transfer will be the Compelled Sale Price. Not later than the 10th day following
the date of the Compelled Sale Notice (the “Compelled Sale Notice Period”), each such Stockholder
will deliver to Trinity or a representative of Trinity designated in the Compelled Sale Notice the
certificate(s) for Shares, and in the case of options, warrants or rights for Shares to be
exercised pursuant to this Section 4.02(a), the applicable instrument(s), representing such
options, warrants or rights held by such Stockholder, duly endorsed, together with all other
documents required to be executed in connection with such Compelled Sale or, if such delivery is
not permitted by applicable law, an unconditional agreement to deliver such Company Securities
pursuant to this Section 4.02(a) at the closing for such Compelled Sale against delivery to such
Stockholder of the consideration therefor. If any such Stockholder should fail to deliver such
certificate(s) or applicable instrument(s) to Trinity, SciQuest Holdings (subject to reversal under
Section 4.02(b)) will cause its books and records to show that such Company Securities are bound by
the provisions of this Section 4.02 and that the Shares (including those resulting from exercises
of options, warrants or rights) will be Transferred to the Third Party immediately upon surrender
for Transfer by the holder thereof. Such Stockholders will (i) be required (A) to bear their
proportionate share of any escrows, holdbacks or adjustments in purchase price and any transaction
expenses and (B) to make such representations, warranties and covenants and enter into such
agreements as are customary for transactions of the nature of the Compelled Sale, in each case
under the terms of any definitive agreement(s) relating to such Compelled Sale and (ii) benefit
from all of the same provisions of the definitive agreement(s) as Trinity, it being understood that
any liability of any such Stockholder for indemnification or similar post-closing obligations will
not exceed the consideration that such Stockholder receives in the Compelled Sale and will be a
proportional share of any such liability based on such Stockholder’s share of the aggregate
consideration in the Compelled Sale.

     (b) Trinity will have a period of 90 days from the date of receipt of the Compelled Sale
Notice to consummate the Compelled Sale on the terms and conditions set forth in such Compelled
Sale Notice, provided that, if such Compelled Sale is subject to regulatory approval, such 90-day
period will be extended until the expiration of five Business Days after all such approvals have
been received, but in no event later than 180 days following the effective date of the Compelled
Sale Notice. If the Compelled Sale has not been consummated during such period, Trinity will return
to each of the Stockholders (other than Trinity) all certificates or applicable instruments
representing Company Securities that such Stockholders delivered in connection with the Transfer
pursuant to this Section 4.02, together with any documents in the possession of Trinity executed by
such Stockholders in connection with such proposed Transfer, and all the restrictions on Transfer
contained in this Agreement or otherwise applicable at

21

 

such time with respect to such Company Securities held by such Stockholders will again be in
effect.

     (c) Concurrently with the consummation of the Transfer of Shares pursuant to this Section
4.02, Trinity will give notice thereof to the Stockholders, remit to the Stockholders who have
surrendered their certificates or applicable instruments the total consideration (the cash portion
of which is to be paid by bank or certified check or wire transfer) for Shares Transferred pursuant
hereto and furnish such other evidence of the completion and time of completion of such Transfer
and the terms thereof as may be reasonably requested by the Stockholders.

     (d) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 4.02, there will be no liability on the
part of Trinity to the Stockholders (other than the obligation to return any certificates or
applicable instruments representing Company Securities received by Trinity or its representative)
if the Transfer of Shares pursuant to this Section 4.02 is not consummated for whatever reason,
regardless of whether Trinity has delivered a Compelled Sale Notice. Whether to effect a Transfer
of Shares pursuant to this Section 4.02 by Trinity is in the sole and absolute discretion of
Trinity.

     (e) This Section 4.02 will terminate upon the consummation of a Qualified IPO.

     Section 4.03. Preemptive Rights.

     (a) SciQuest Holdings will provide each Stockholder with a written notice (an “Issuance
Notice”) of any proposed issuance by SciQuest Holdings of any class of Company Securities or any
new class of Company Securities (“New Securities”) at least 20 days prior to the proposed issuance
date. Such notice will specify the price at which such Company Securities or New Securities are to
be issued, the class of such securities, the offerees to whom such securities are to be issued and
the other material terms of the issuance. Subject to Section 4.03(e) below, upon receipt of the
Issuance Notice, each Stockholder will be entitled to purchase (the “Preemptive Stockholder”), at
the price and on the terms specified in such Issuance Notice, such Preemptive Stockholder’s
Issuance Pro Rata Portion (as hereinafter defined) of Company Securities or New Securities proposed
to be issued.

     “Issuance Pro Rata Portion” means, with respect to any Preemptive Stockholder and any class of
Company Securities proposed to be issued by SciQuest Holdings, the fraction that results from
dividing (i) such Preemptive Stockholder’s Aggregate Ownership of such class of Company Securities
held by such Preemptive Stockholder immediately prior to the issuance of such class of Company
Securities, by (ii) the Aggregate Ownership of such class of Company Securities held by all
Stockholders immediately prior to the issuance of such class of Company Securities.

22

 

     To the extent that the class of securities proposed to be issued under this Section 4.03 are
New Securities, “Issuance Pro Rata Portion” means, (A) if such New Securities are Common Shares or
are convertible into Common Shares, the fraction that results from dividing (i) such Preemptive
Stockholder’s Aggregate Ownership of Common Shares held by such Preemptive Stockholder immediately
prior to the issuance of such New Securities by (ii) the Aggregate Ownership of Common Shares of
all Stockholders immediately prior to the issuance of such New Securities, (B) if such New
Securities are Preferred Shares or are convertible into Preferred Shares, the fraction that results
from dividing (i) such Preemptive Stockholder’s Aggregate Ownership of Preferred Shares by (ii) the
Aggregate Ownership of Preferred Shares of all Stockholders, or (C) if such New Securities are
warrants, options or rights to acquire Common Stock or Preferred Stock or issued pursuant to profit
sharing interests, the fraction that results from dividing (i) such Preemptive Stockholder’s
Aggregate Ownership of such shares of New Securities, or in the event that such warrants, options
or rights have not been exercised and no New Securities are issued and outstanding, such Preemptive
Stockholder’s Aggregate Ownership of such shares of Common Shares or Preferred Shares, as
applicable, and in accordance with the preceding clauses (A) and (B) in accordance with the terms
of such New Securities, calculated on an as-converted or as-exercised basis by (ii) all
Stockholders’ Aggregate Ownership of shares of New Securities, or in the event that such warrants,
options or rights have not been exercised and no New Securities are issued and outstanding, such
Preemptive Stockholder’s Aggregate Ownership of such shares of Common Shares or Preferred Shares,
as applicable, and in accordance with the preceding clauses (A) and (B) in accordance with the
terms of such New Securities, calculated on an as-converted or as-exercised basis.

     (b) A Preemptive Stockholder may exercise its rights under this Section 4.03 by delivering
written notice of its election to purchase such Company Securities or New Securities to SciQuest
Holdings within 20 days of receipt of the Issuance Notice. A delivery of such a written notice
(which notice will specify the number or amount of Company Securities or New Securities to be
purchased by the Preemptive Stockholder submitting such notice) by such Preemptive Stockholder will
constitute a binding agreement of such Preemptive Stockholder to purchase, at the price and on the
terms specified in the Issuance Notice, the number of shares or amount of Company Securities or New
Securities specified in such Preemptive Stockholder’s written notice. If, at the expiration of such
20-day period, any Preemptive Stockholder has not exercised its rights to purchase any of such
Preemptive Stockholder’s Issuance Pro Rata Portion of such Company Securities or New Securities,
such Preemptive Stockholder will be deemed to have waived any and all of its rights under this
Section 4.03 with respect to the purchase of such Company Securities or New Securities.

     (c) If the Preemptive Stockholders receiving an Issuance Notice does not elect to
purchase the securities offered thereunder, SciQuest Holdings will, within five days prior to the
proposed issuance, provide written notice to all participating Preemptive Stockholders that did
elect to purchase the securities

23

 

specified in such Issuance Notice, informing them that they have the right to overallotment
such that they may increase the number of securities that they elected to purchase pursuant to the
Issuance Notice. Each such participating Preemptive Stockholder will then have a 20-day period in
which to elect to participate in such second offer, by giving written notice of acceptance of such
second offer to SciQuest Holdings prior to the expiration of such 20-day period, as to all of such
Preemptive Stockholder’s portion of securities not accepted pursuant to the initial offer and
available for purchase in the second offer (on the basis of such Preemptive Stockholder’s Issuance
Pro Rata Portion compared to the Issuance Pro Rata Portion of all other Preemptive Stockholders
receiving the second offer) plus any additional portion not accepted by any other Preemptive
Stockholder during such 20-day period.

     If any Preemptive Stockholder fails to notify SciQuest Holdings prior to the expiration of the
initial 20-day period or the second 20-day period, as applicable, referred to above, it will be
deemed to have declined the initial offer or second offer, as applicable.

     (d) SciQuest Holdings will have 90 days from the date of the Issuance Notice to consummate the
proposed issuance of any or all of such Company Securities or New Securities that the Preemptive
Stockholders have elected to purchase at the price and upon terms that are not materially less
favorable to SciQuest Holdings than those specified in the Issuance Notice, provided that, if such
issuance is subject to regulatory approval, such 90-day period will be extended until the
expiration of five Business Days after all such approvals have been received, but in no event later
than 180 days from the date of the Issuance Notice. At the consummation of such issuance, SciQuest
Holdings will issue certificates representing Company Securities or New Securities to be purchased
by each Preemptive Stockholder registered in the name of such Stockholder, against payment by such
Stockholder of the purchase price for such Company Securities or New Securities. If SciQuest
Holdings proposes to issue any class of Company Securities or New Securities to any Stockholder
after such 90-day period, it will again comply with the procedures set forth in this Section 4.03.

     (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Stockholder will be entitled to purchase New Securities
as contemplated by this Section 4.03 in connection with (i) warrants or other rights to purchase
New Securities issued or issuable to banks, equipment lessors or other financial institutions, or
to real property lessors, pursuant to a debt financing, equipment leasing or real property leasing
transaction approved by the Board (including issuances of Company Securities or New Securities upon
the exercise of such warrants or rights), (ii) grants of incentive or non-statutory stock options
pursuant to a stock option plan approved by the Board (including issuances of Company Securities or
New Securities upon the exercise of such options), (iii) issuances of equity securities of SciQuest
Holdings pursuant to any bona fide, arm’s-length restructuring of outstanding debt of SciQuest
Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, (iv) issuances by SciQuest Holdings of equity securities in
connection with any bona fide, arm’s-length

24

 

direct or indirect merger, acquisition of equity
securities or assets of another Person not Affiliated with SciQuest Holdings or any of its
Subsidiaries or similar transaction, (v) pursuant to a Qualified IPO, (vi) issuances of any
securities of SciQuest Holdings as a
dividend or distribution on, or upon conversion of, any Company Security or New Security,
(vii) issuances of any securities of SciQuest Holdings issued or issuable by reason of a dividend,
stock split, subdivision or other distribution on shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock, or
(viii) for consideration other than cash. SciQuest Holdings will not be under any obligation to
consummate any proposed issuance of Company Securities or New Securities, nor will there be any
liability on the part of SciQuest Holdings to any Stockholder if SciQuest Holdings has not
consummated any proposed issuance of Company Securities or New Securities pursuant to this Section
4.03 for whatever reason, regardless of whether it will have delivered a Issuance Notice in respect
of such proposed issuance.

     (f) The provisions of this Section 4.03 will terminate upon the consummation of a
Qualified IPO.

     (g) The rights of any Preemptive Stockholder with respect to any class of Company Securities
or New Securities under this Section 4.03 will terminate at such time as such Preemptive
Stockholder’s Aggregate Ownership of such class (determined as to New Securities in the manner
described in the second sentence of the definition of Issuance Pro Rata Portion) divided by its
Initial Ownership of such class is less than 35%.

ARTICLE 5

Registration Rights

     Section 5.01. Demand Registration.

     (a) If, at any time after the earlier of (i) 180 days after the consummation of the
Qualified IPO and (ii) the expiration of the Applicable Lock-Up Period, SciQuest Holdings receives
a written request from a holder or holders who in the aggregate hold more than 30% of the
outstanding Registrable Securities (the “Initiating Holders”) that SciQuest Holdings effect a
registration under the Securities Act of all or a portion of such Initiating Holders’ Registrable
Securities, and specifying the intended method of disposition thereof, then SciQuest Holdings will
promptly give written notice of such requested registration (each such request by the Initiating
Holders, a “Demand Registration”) at least 15 days prior to the anticipated filing date of the
registration statement relating to such Demand Registration to each other Holder (the
“Non-Requesting Holder”). Upon SciQuest Holdings’ giving such notice of a Demand Registration,
SciQuest Holdings will use its best efforts to effect, as expeditiously as possible, the
registration under the Securities Act of:

25

 

     (i) the Registrable Securities that SciQuest Holdings has been so requested
to register by the Initiating Holders, then held by the Initiating Holders, and

     (ii) subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 5.02, all other
Registrable Securities of the same class as that requested to be registered by the
Initiating Holders which any Non-Requesting Holder entitled to request SciQuest Holdings
to effect a Company Registration pursuant to Section 5.02 have requested SciQuest Holdings
to register by written request received by SciQuest Holdings within 15 days after the
receipt by the Holders of such written notice of a Demand Registration given by SciQuest
Holdings,

all to the extent necessary to permit the disposition (in accordance with the intended methods
thereof as aforesaid) of the Registrable Securities so to be registered, provided that in no event
will SciQuest Holdings be required to effect a Demand Registration pursuant to this Section 5.01:

     (A) Unless the aggregate gross proceeds expected to be received from the sale of the
Common Shares requested to be included in such Demand Registration equal or exceed
$30,000,000 (before deduction of underwriters’ commissions, discounts, costs and
expenses);

     (B) After SciQuest Holdings has initiated two such Demand Registrations (counting for
these purposes only registrations which have been declared or ordered effective and
pursuant to which securities have been sold and Demand Registrations that have been
revoked and considered to be Demand Registrations pursuant to Section 5.01(b) hereof);

     (C) During the 180 day period commencing with the effective date of a first
registration statement filed by SciQuest Holdings covering a Qualified IPO of any of its
securities to the general public;

     (D) During the period starting with the date 60 days prior to SciQuest Holdings’ good
faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on a date 180 days after the effective
date of, a registration statement for such Demand Registration, provided, that SciQuest
Holdings delivers notice to the Holders within 30 days of any registration request of its
intent to file such registration statement; or

     (E) If the Initiating Holders propose to dispose of shares of Registrable Securities
which may be immediately registered on Form S-3 pursuant to a request made under Section
5.03 hereof.

     (b) At any time prior to the effective date of the registration statement relating to a
Demand Registration, the Initiating Holders may revoke such request for the Demand Registration,
without liability to any of the other Holders, by

26

 

providing a written notice to SciQuest Holdings revoking such request. A request, so revoked, will
be considered to be a Demand Registration unless (i) such revocation arose out of the fault of
SciQuest Holdings (in which case SciQuest Holdings will be obligated to pay all Registration
Expenses in connection with such revoked request), or (ii) the Initiating Holders reimburse
SciQuest Holdings for all Registration Expenses of such revoked request.

     (c) SciQuest Holdings will be liable for and pay all Registration Expenses in connection with
any Demand Registration, regardless of whether it is effected, except as provided in Section
5.01(b)(ii) above.

     (d) A Demand Registration will not be deemed to have occurred

     (i) unless the registration statement relating thereto (A) has become effective
under the Securities Act and (B) has remained effective for a period of at least 180 days
(or such shorter period in which all Registrable Securities of the Holders included in
such registration have actually been sold thereunder), provided that such registration
statement will not be considered a Demand Registration if, after any registration
statement requested pursuant to this Section 5.01 becomes effective, (x) such registration
statement is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement
of the SEC or other governmental agency or court and (y) less than 75% of the Registrable
Securities included in such registration statement has been sold thereunder, or

     (ii) if the Maximum Offering Size (as defined below) is reduced in accordance
with Section 5.01(e) such that less than 75% of the Registrable Securities of the
Initiating Holders sought to be included in such registration are included.

     (e) If a Demand Registration involves a Public Offering and the managing underwriter advises
SciQuest Holdings and the Initiating Holders that, in its view, the number of shares of Registrable
Securities requested to be included in such registration (including any securities that SciQuest
Holdings proposes to be included that are not Registrable Securities) exceeds the largest number of
shares that can be sold without having an adverse effect on such offering, including the price at
which such shares can be sold (the “Maximum Offering Size”), SciQuest Holdings will include in such
registration, in the following priority, up to the Maximum Offering Size:

     (i) first, all Registrable Securities requested to be registered by the
Initiating Holders and any of their Permitted Transferees (allocated, if necessary for the
offering not to exceed the Maximum Offering Size, pro rata among such Persons on the basis
of the relative number of shares of Registrable Securities so requested to be registered),

27

 

     (ii) second, all Registrable Securities requested to be included in such
registration by any Non-Requesting Holder and any of its Permitted Transferees (allocated,
if necessary for the offering not to exceed the Maximum Offering Size, pro rata among such
Persons on the basis of the relative number of Shares of Registrable Securities so
requested to be included in such registration), and

     (iii) third, any securities proposed to be registered for the account of any
other Persons (including SciQuest Holdings), with such priorities among them as SciQuest
Holdings will determine.

     (f) Upon written notice to each Holder requesting registration of its Registrable
Securities under this Section 5.01, SciQuest Holdings may postpone effecting a Demand Registration
pursuant to this Section 5.01 on two occasions during any period of 12 consecutive months for a
reasonable time specified in the notice but not exceeding 90 days individually or 120 days in the
aggregate (which period may not be extended or renewed), if (i) an investment banking firm of
recognized national standing advises SciQuest Holdings and the Initiating Holders in writing that
effecting the registration would materially and adversely affect an offering of securities of
SciQuest Holdings the preparation of which had then been commenced or (ii) SciQuest Holdings is in
possession of material non-public information the disclosure of which during the period specified
in such notice such investment banking firm believes would not be in the best interests of SciQuest
Holdings.

     Section 5.02. Company Registration.

     (a) If, at any time, SciQuest Holdings proposes to register, pursuant to a Demand
Registration or otherwise, any Company Securities under the Securities Act (other than a
registration on Form S-8 or S-4, or any successor or similar forms, relating to Common Shares
issuable upon exercise of employee stock options or in connection with any employee benefit or
similar plan of SciQuest Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, or in connection with a direct or
indirect acquisition by SciQuest Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries of another Person), whether or
not for sale for its own account, it will, subject to the provisions of Section 5.02(b), give
prompt written notice at least 30 Business Days prior to the anticipated filing date of the
registration statement relating to such registration to each Holder, which notice will set forth
such Holder’s rights under this Section 5.02 and will offer such Holder the opportunity to include
in such registration statement the number of Registrable Securities of the same class or series
held by such Holder as those proposed to be registered as each such Holder may request (a “Company
Registration”). Upon the written request of any such Holder made within 15 days after the receipt
of the foregoing notice from SciQuest Holdings (which request will specify the number of
Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holder), SciQuest Holdings will use all
reasonable efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable
Securities that SciQuest Holdings has been so requested to register by all such Holders, to the

28

 

extent requisite to permit the disposition of the Registrable Securities so to be registered,
provided that (i) if such registration involves a Public Offering, all such Holders requesting to
be included in SciQuest Holdings’ registration must sell their Registrable Securities to the
underwriters selected as provided in Section 5.05(f) on the same terms and conditions as applicable
to SciQuest Holdings or such Holders, as the case may be, and (ii) if, at any time after giving
written notice of its intention to register any securities pursuant to this Section 5.02(a) and
prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such Company
Registration, SciQuest Holdings determines for any reason not to register such securities, SciQuest
Holdings will give written notice to all such Holders requesting to be included in such
registration and, thereupon, will be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable
Securities in connection with such registration. No registration effected under this Section 5.02
will relieve SciQuest Holdings of its obligations to effect a Demand Registration to the extent
required by Section 5.01.

     (b) SciQuest Holdings will be liable for and pay all Registration Expenses in connection with
any Company Registration, regardless of whether it is effected.

     (c) If a registration pursuant to this Section 5.02 involves a Public Offering (other than any
Demand Registration, in which case the provisions with respect to priority of inclusion in such
offering set forth in Section 5.01(e) will apply) and the managing underwriter advises SciQuest
Holdings that, in its view, the number of shares of Registrable Securities that SciQuest Holdings
and such Holders requesting a Company Registration intend to include in such registration
(including securities that SciQuest Holdings proposes to be included that are not Registrable
Securities) exceeds the Maximum Offering Size, SciQuest Holdings will include in such registration,
in the following priority, up to the Maximum Offering Size:

     (i) first, so much of the securities proposed to be registered for the account
of SciQuest Holdings as would not cause the offering to exceed the Maximum Offering Size,

     (ii) second, all Registrable Securities of the Initiating Holders requesting a
Demand Registration under Section 5.01 (allocated, if necessary for the offering not to
exceed the Maximum Offering Size, pro rata among such Persons on the basis of the relative
number of shares of Registrable Securities so requested to be included in such
registration),

     (iii) third, all Registrable Securities requested to be included in such
registration by the Holders requesting a Company Registration under this Section 5.02
(allocated, if necessary for the offering not to exceed the Maximum Offering Size, pro rata
among such Persons on the basis of the relative number of shares of Registrable Securities
so requested to be included in such registration),

29

 

     (iv) fourth, any securities proposed to be registered for the account of any
other Persons with such priorities among them as SciQuest Holdings will determine.

     (d) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 5.02, in no event will the
shares of Registrable Securities to be sold by the Holders under a Company Registration be reduced
below 20% of the total number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in such
registration. No Stockholder will be granted the registration rights under this Section 5.02 which
would reduce the number of shares of Registrable Securities requested by the Holders to be included
in such registration without the written consent of a majority of the Holders.

     Section 5.03. Registration on Form S-3.

     (a) After its Qualified IPO, SciQuest Holdings will use its reasonable efforts to qualify for
registration on Form S-3 or any comparable or successor form or forms. After SciQuest Holdings has
qualified for the use of Form S-3, in addition to the rights contained in the foregoing provisions
of this Article 5, the Holders will have the right to request registrations on Form S-3 (such
requests will be in writing and will state the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be
disposed of and the intended methods of disposition of such shares by such Holders); provided, that
SciQuest Holdings will not be obligated to effect any such registration (i) if the Holders,
together with the holders of any other securities of SciQuest Holdings entitled to inclusion in
such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) on
Form S-3 at an aggregate price to the public of less than $1,000,000 (before deduction of
underwriters’ commissions, discounts, costs and expenses), (ii) in the circumstances described in
Section 5.01(f), or (iii) if, in any given 12-month period, SciQuest Holdings has effected two such
Form S-3 registrations in such period.

     (b) If a request complying with the requirements of Section 5.03(a) hereof is delivered to
SciQuest Holdings, SciQuest Holdings will use its best efforts to effect the registration under the
Securities Act of the Registrable Securities that SciQuest Holdings has been so requested to
register by the Holders. No registration effected under this Section 5.03 will relieve SciQuest
Holdings of its obligations to effect a Demand Registration to the extent required by Section 5.01.
If the registration is for a Public Offering, the provisions of Section 5.01(e) hereof will apply
to such registration.

     (c) SciQuest Holdings will be liable for and pay all Registration Expenses in connection with
any registration on Form S-3, regardless of whether it is effected.

     Section 5.04. Lock-Up Agreement. Each Holder hereby agrees that it will not, without the prior
written consent of the managing underwriter, during the

30

 

period commencing on the date of the final prospectus relating to a Qualified IPO and ending on the
date specified by SciQuest Holdings and the managing underwriter (such period not to exceed 180
days) (the “Applicable Lock-Up Period”) (a) 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
Registrable Securities (whether such shares or any such securities are then owned by the Holder or
are thereafter acquired) held immediately prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement
for such offering, or (b) 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 Registrable Securities,
whether any such transaction described in clause (a) or (b) of this Section 5.04 is to be settled
by delivery of such Registrable Securities or other securities of SciQuest Holdings or any of its
Subsidiaries, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing provisions of this Section 5.04 will apply only
to a Qualified IPO, will not apply to the sale of any shares to an underwriter pursuant to an
underwriting agreement, and will only be applicable to the Holders if all officers, directors and
greater than 5% stockholders of SciQuest Holdings (or such stockholders with smaller percentages if
required by an underwriter) enter into similar agreements. The underwriters in connection with the
Qualified IPO are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 5.04 and will 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 Public Offering that are consistent with this Section 5.04 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 SciQuest Holdings or the underwriters will apply to all Holders subject to
such agreements pro rata based on the number of shares subject to such agreements.

     Section 5.05. Registration Procedures. Whenever the Holders request that any Registrable
Securities be registered pursuant to Section 5.01, 5.02 or 5.03 hereof, subject to the provisions
of such Sections, SciQuest Holdings will use its best efforts to effect the registration and the
sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof
as quickly as practicable, and in connection with any such request:

     (a) SciQuest Holdings will as expeditiously as possible prepare and file with the SEC a
registration statement on any form reasonably acceptable to the Initiating Holders for which
SciQuest Holdings then qualifies or that counsel for SciQuest Holdings deems appropriate and which
form will be available for the sale of the Registrable Securities to be registered thereunder in
accordance with the intended method of distribution thereof, and use its best efforts to cause such
filed registration statement to become and remain effective for a period of not less than 180 days,
or in the case of a shelf registration statement, one year (or such shorter period in which all of
the Registrable Securities of the Holders included in such registration statement will have
actually been sold thereunder).

31

 

     (b) Prior to filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendment or supplement
thereto, SciQuest Holdings will, if requested, furnish to each participating Holder and each
underwriter, if any, of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement copies of
such registration statement as proposed to be filed, and thereafter SciQuest Holdings will furnish
to such Holder and underwriter, if any, such number of copies of such registration statement, each
amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits thereto and documents
incorporated by reference therein), the prospectus included in such registration statement
(including each preliminary prospectus and any summary prospectus) and any other prospectus filed
under Rule 424 or Rule 430A under the Securities Act and such other documents as such Holder or
underwriter may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable
Securities owned by such Holder. Each Holder will have the right to request that SciQuest Holdings
modify any information contained in such registration statement, amendment and supplement thereto
pertaining to such Holder, and SciQuest Holdings will use all reasonable efforts to comply with
such request, provided, however, that SciQuest Holdings will not have any obligation so to modify
any information if so doing would cause the prospectus to contain an untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading.

     (c) After the filing of the registration statement, SciQuest Holdings will (i) cause the
related prospectus to be supplemented by any required prospectus supplement, and, as so
supplemented, to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, (ii) to comply with the
provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities
covered by such registration statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended
methods of disposition by the sellers thereof set forth in such registration statement or
supplement to such prospectus and (iii) promptly notify each Holder of any stop order issued or
threatened by the SEC or any state securities commission under state blue sky laws and take all
reasonable actions required to prevent the entry of such stop order or to remove it if entered.

     (d) SciQuest Holdings will use all reasonable efforts to (i) register or qualify the
Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or blue
sky laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as any Holder holding such Registrable
Securities reasonably (in light of such Stockholder’s intended plan of distribution) requests and
(ii) cause such Registrable Securities to be registered with or approved by such other governmental
agencies or authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of SciQuest
Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries and do any and all other acts and things that may be reasonably
necessary or advisable to enable such Holder to consummate the disposition of the Registrable
Securities owned by such Holder, provided that SciQuest Holdings will not be required to (A)
qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to
qualify but for this paragraph (d), (B) subject itself to

32

 

taxation in any such jurisdiction or (C) consent to general service of process in any such
jurisdiction.

     (e) SciQuest Holdings will immediately notify each Holder at any time when a prospectus
relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the occurrence of an
event requiring the preparation of a supplement or amendment to such prospectus 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 material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and promptly prepare and
make available to each such Holder and file with the SEC any such supplement or amendment.

     (f) In connection with any Public Offering, SciQuest Holdings will enter into customary
agreements (including an underwriting agreement in customary form) and take such other actions as
are reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the registration and disposition of such
Registrable Securities in any such Public Offering, including the engagement of a “qualified
independent underwriter” in connection with the qualification of the underwriting arrangements with
the NASD.

     (g) Upon execution of confidentiality agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to the Board, SciQuest Holdings will make available for inspection by any Holder and any
underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to a registration statement being filed by
SciQuest Holdings pursuant to this Article 5 and any attorney, accountant or other professional
retained by any such Holder or underwriter (collectively, the “Inspectors”), all financial and
other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of SciQuest Holdings (collectively, the
“Records”) as will be reasonably necessary or desirable to enable them to exercise their due
diligence responsibility, and cause the officers, directors and employees of SciQuest Holdings or
its Subsidiaries to supply all information reasonably requested by any Inspectors in connection
with such registration statement. Records that SciQuest Holdings determines, in good faith, to be
confidential and that it notifies the Inspectors are confidential will not be disclosed by the
Inspectors unless (i) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a
misstatement or omission in such registration statement or (ii) the release of such Records is
ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction or the SEC.
Each Holder agrees that information obtained by it as a result of such inspections will be deemed
confidential and will not be used by it or any of its Affiliates as the basis for any market
transactions in securities of SciQuest Holdings unless and until such is made generally available
to the public. Each Holder further agrees that, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is
sought in a court of competent jurisdiction or in an investigation or proceeding initiated by the
SEC, it will give immediate notice to SciQuest Holdings and allow SciQuest Holdings, at its
expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of the Records deemed confidential.

33

 

     (h) SciQuest Holdings will furnish to each such Holder and to each such underwriter, if
any, a signed counterpart, addressed to such Holder or underwriter, of (i) an opinion or opinions
of counsel to SciQuest Holdings and (ii) a comfort letter or comfort letters from SciQuest
Holdings’ independent public accountants, each in customary form and covering such matters of the
kind customarily covered by opinions or comfort letters, as the case may be, as a majority of such
Holders or the managing underwriter therefor reasonably requests.

     (i) SciQuest Holdings will otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable
rules and regulations of the SEC, and make available to its securityholders, as soon as reasonably
practicable, an earnings statement or such other document covering a period of 12 months, beginning
within three months after the effective date of the registration statement, which earnings
statement will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158
thereunder.

     (j) SciQuest Holdings may require each Holder promptly to furnish in writing to SciQuest
Holdings such information regarding the distribution of the Registrable Securities as SciQuest
Holdings may from time to time reasonably request and such other information as may be legally
required in connection with any registration statement.

     (k) Each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from SciQuest Holdings of the
happening of any event of the kind described in Section 5.05(e) hereof, such Stockholder will
forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement
covering such Registrable Securities until such Stockholder’s receipt of the copies of the
supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 5.05(e) hereof, and, if so directed by
SciQuest Holdings, such Holder will deliver to SciQuest Holdings all copies, other than any
permanent file copies then in such Stockholder’s possession, of the most recent prospectus covering
such Registrable Securities at the time of receipt of such notice. In the event that SciQuest
Holdings will give such notice, SciQuest Holdings will extend the period during which such
registration statement will be maintained effective (including the period referred to in Section
5.05(a) hereof) by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving
of notice pursuant to Section 5.05(e) hereof to the date when SciQuest Holdings will make available
to such Stockholder a prospectus supplemented or amended to conform with the requirements of
Section 5.05(e) hereof.

     (l) SciQuest Holdings will use its best efforts to list all Registrable Securities
covered by such registration statement on any securities exchange or quotation system on which any
of the Registrable Securities are then listed or traded.

34

 

     (m) SciQuest Holdings will provide and cause to be maintained a transfer agent and
registrar for all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement from and after a
date not later than the effective date of such registration statement.

     Section 5.06. Indemnification by SciQuest Holdings. SciQuest Holdings agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless each Holder, its officers, directors, employees, partners and agents, and each
Person, if any, who controls such Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or
Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and legal counsel and accountants of such Holder, from and against
any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities caused by any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement or prospectus relating
to the Registrable Securities (as amended or supplemented if SciQuest Holdings will have furnished
any amendments or supplements thereto) or any preliminary prospectus, or caused by any omission or
alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or
omission so made based upon information furnished in writing to SciQuest Holdings by such Holder or
on such Holder’s behalf expressly for use therein, provided that with respect to any untrue
statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in any preliminary prospectus,
or in any prospectus, as the case may be, the indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph will
not apply to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense results from the
fact that a current copy of the prospectus (or such amended or supplemented prospectus, as the case
may be) was not sent or given to the Person asserting any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
expense at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of the Registrable Securities concerned
to such Person if it is determined that SciQuest Holdings has provided such prospectus to such
Holder and it was the responsibility of such Holder to provide such Person with a current copy of
the prospectus (or such amended or supplemented prospectus, as the case may be) and such current
copy of the prospectus (or such amended or supplemented prospectus, as the case may be) would have
cured the defect giving rise to such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense. SciQuest Holdings
also agrees to indemnify any underwriters of the Registrable Securities, their officers and
directors and each person who controls such underwriters on substantially the same basis as that of
the indemnification of the Stockholders provided in this Section 5.06.

     Section 5.07. Indemnification by the Holders. Each Holder agrees, severally but not jointly,
to indemnify and hold harmless SciQuest Holdings and SciQuest, any of their officers, directors and
agents and each Person, if any, who controls SciQuest Holdings or SciQuest within the meaning of
either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and legal counsel and
accountants for SciQuest Holdings to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity under Section 5.06
from SciQuest Holdings to each Holder, but only (a) with

35

 

respect to information furnished in writing by such Holder or on such Holder’s behalf expressly for
use in any registration statement or prospectus relating to the Registrable Securities, or any
amendment or supplement thereto, or any preliminary prospectus or (b) to the extent that any loss,
claim, damage, liability or expense described in Section 5.06 results from the fact that a current
copy of the prospectus (or such amended or supplemented prospectus, as the case may be) was not
sent or given to the Person asserting any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense at or
prior to the written confirmation of the sale of the Registrable Securities concerned to such
Person if it is determined that it was the responsibility of such Holder to provide such Person
with a current copy of the prospectus (or such amended or supplemented prospectus, as the case may
be) and such current copy of the prospectus (or such amended or supplemented prospectus, as the
case may be) would have cured the defect giving rise to such loss, claim, damage, liability or
expense. Each such Holder also agrees to indemnify and hold harmless underwriters of the
Registrable Securities, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such underwriters
on substantially the same basis as that of the indemnification of SciQuest Holdings provided in
this Section 5.07. As a condition to including Registrable Securities in any registration statement
filed in accordance with Article 5 hereof, SciQuest Holdings may require that it will have received
an undertaking reasonably satisfactory to it from any underwriter to indemnify and hold it harmless
to the extent customarily provided by underwriters with respect to similar securities. No
Stockholder will be liable under this Section 5.07 for any loss, claim, damage, liability or
expense in excess of the net proceeds realized by such Stockholder in the sale of Registrable
Securities of such Stockholder to which such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense relates.

     Section 5.08. Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. In case any proceeding (including any
governmental investigation) will be instituted involving any Person in respect of which indemnity
may be sought pursuant to this Article 5, such Person (an “Indemnified Party”) will promptly notify
the Person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing and the
Indemnifying Party will assume the defense thereof, including the engagement of counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and will assume the payment of all fees and expenses,
provided that the failure of any Indemnified Party so to notify the Indemnifying Party will not
relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the
Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure to notify. In any such proceeding or
investigation, any Indemnified Party will have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees
and expenses of such counsel will be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (a) the
Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party will have mutually agreed to the engagement of such
counsel or (b) in the reasonable judgment of such Indemnified Party representation of both parties
by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between
them. It is understood that, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same
jurisdiction, the Indemnifying Party will not be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of
more than one separate firm of

36

 

attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) at any time for all such Indemnified Parties, and that
all such fees and expenses will be reimbursed as they are incurred. In the case of any such
separate firm for the Indemnified Parties, such firm will be designated in writing by the
Indemnified Parties. The Indemnifying Party will not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding
or investigation effected without its prior written consent, but if settled with such consent, or
if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Party will indemnify and hold
harmless such Indemnified Parties from and against any loss or liability (to the extent stated
above) by reason of such settlement or judgment. Without the prior written consent of the
Indemnified Party, no Indemnifying Party will effect any settlement of any pending or threatened
proceeding or investigation in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party
and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement
includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such
proceeding or investigation.

     Section 5.09. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Article 5 is
unavailable to the Indemnified Parties in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities
referred to herein, then each such Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified
Party, will contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (a) as between SciQuest Holdings and the Holders covered by
a registration statement on the one hand and the underwriters on the other, in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by SciQuest Holdings and such Holders on
the one hand and the underwriters on the other, from the offering of SciQuest Holding’s securities,
or if such allocation is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect not only the relative benefits but also the relative fault of SciQuest Holdings and such
Holders on the one hand and of such underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or
omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations and (b) as between SciQuest Holdings on the one hand and each
such Holder on the other, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of
SciQuest Holdings and of each such Holder in connection with such statements or omissions, as well
as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by SciQuest Holdings
and such Holders on the one hand and such underwriters on the other will be deemed to be in the
same proportion as the total proceeds from the offering (net of underwriting discounts and
commissions but before deducting expenses) received by SciQuest Holdings, and such Holders bear to
the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such underwriters, in each case as set
forth in the table on the cover page of the prospectus. The relative fault of SciQuest Holdings and
such Holders on the one hand and of such underwriters on the other will 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 SciQuest
Holdings and such Holders or by such underwriters. The relative fault of SciQuest Holdings on the
one hand and of each such Holder on the other will

37

 

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 any such party, and such parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

     SciQuest Holdings and the Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contribution pursuant to this Section 5.09 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the
underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that
does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding
paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims,
damages or liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph will be deemed to
include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or
claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5.09, no underwriter will be required to
contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the securities
underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of
any damages that such underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission, and no Holder will be required to
contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the securities of
such Holder were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder has
otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section
11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of
such fraudulent misrepresentation. Each Holder’s obligation to contribute pursuant to this Section
5.09 is several in the proportion that the proceeds of the offering received by such Holder bears
to the total proceeds of the offering received by all such Holders and not joint.

     Section 5.10. Participation in Public Offering. No Person may participate in any Public
Offering hereunder unless such Person (a) agrees to sell such Person’s securities on the basis
provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to approve
such arrangements and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney,
indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of
such underwriting arrangements and the provisions of this Agreement in respect of registration
rights.

     Section 5.11. Other Indemnification. Indemnification similar to that specified herein (with
appropriate modifications) will be given by SciQuest Holdings and each Holder participating therein
with respect to any required registration or other qualification of securities under any federal or
state law or regulation or governmental authority other than the Securities Act.

38

 

     Section 5.12. Cooperation by SciQuest Holdings. If any Holder will transfer any Registrable
Securities pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, SciQuest Holdings will cooperate, to the
extent commercially reasonable, with such Holder and will provide to such Holder such information
as such Holder will reasonably request.

     Section 5.13. Delay of Registration. No Holder has any right to take any action to restrain,
enjoin, or otherwise delay any registration as the result of any controversy that might arise with
respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Article 5.

     Section 5.14. Transfer of Registration Rights. None of the rights of Holders under this
Article 5 will be transferable or assignable by any Holder to any Person acquiring Registrable
Securities in any Public Offering or pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act, except that the
registration rights under Sections 5.01, 5.02 and 5.03 may be transferred or assigned by a Holder
to (a) any partner or retired partner of any Holder which is a partnership, (b) any family member
or trust for the benefit of any Holder who is an individual, or (c) a transferee or assignee who,
as a result of the transfer or assignment, acquires at least 1,000,000 shares of Registrable
Securities (as presently constituted and subject to subsequent adjustments for stock splits,
dividends, reverse splits, and the like), provided that, in each instance set forth above, SciQuest
Holdings is given prior written notice of the transfer or assignment, stating the name, address,
telephone number and other relevant information of the transferee or assignee and identifying the
Registrable Securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or
assigned, and, provided further, that the transferee or assignee of such rights assumes in writing
all of the obligations of such Holder under this Article 5.

     Section 5.15. Termination of Registration Rights. The right of any Holder to request
registration or inclusion in any registration pursuant to Section 5.01, 5.02 or 5.03 will terminate
on the earlier of (a) five years after a Qualified IPO or (b) such date as all shares of
Registrable Securities held by any Holder maybe sold under Rule 144 during any 90 day period.

ARTICLE 6

such as documents and facilities, provided that the term “Confidential Information” does not
include information that (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result

Miscellaneous

     Section 7.01. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Charter constitute the entire agreement
among the parties hereto and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings,
both oral and written, among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and

of, in exchange for, or in substitution of, any Company Securities by reason of any reorganization,
