INTRODUCTORY.
THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), is made as of the 23rd day of September, 2016 by and among Bentley Systems, Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Siemens AG, a stock corporation (Aktiengesellschaft) under the laws of Germany (the “Purchaser”) and the persons listed as “Key Holders” on the signature pages to this Agreement and any person or entity becoming a “Key Holder” after the date hereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (each a “Key Holder”, and each of the Key Holders, the Company and Purchaser, a “Party”).
Purchaser (directly or through one or more of its Affiliates) and the Company will agree to strategic collaboration and alliance opportunities for the purpose of enabling digital enterprises and creating new offerings for customers of the Purchaser and the Company, all to be set forth in a strategic collaboration agreement (the “Strategic Collaboration Agreement”), between the Company and an Affiliate of the Purchaser (the “Purchaser Collaboration Partner”).
In addition to the relationship established pursuant to the Strategic Collaboration Agreement, the Purchaser desires that, and the Company is willing to, (i) issue and sell to the Purchaser such number of shares of the Company’s Class B Non-Voting Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class B Common Stock”), as have an aggregate purchase price equal to the Maximum Amount (as defined below) in a series of transactions, and (ii) grant Purchaser certain additional rights, all as set forth in, and subject to the terms and conditions of, this Agreement.  Purchaser shall purchase such shares of Class B Common Stock as provided herein.
Each Key Holder is the beneficial owner of capital stock of the Company and, in order to induce the Purchaser and the Company to enter into this Agreement, each Key Holder agrees with Purchaser that it will provide Purchaser with certain additional rights with respect to capital stock held by such Key Holder, all as set forth in, and subject to the terms and conditions of, this Agreement.
For the purposes of this Agreement, “Maximum Amount” means $100,000,000 upon the execution of this Agreement; provided that upon the earlier to occur of (i) the fifth anniversary of this Agreement and (ii) the acquisition by the Purchaser of $100,000,000 worth of shares of Class B Common Stock (as measured by the actual cash paid by the Purchaser hereunder), the “Maximum Amount” shall be automatically increased by $20,000,000 on each subsequent anniversary of the Agreement following such earlier occurrence, in each case, so long as the Strategic Collaboration Agreement remains in effect on each such subsequent anniversary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Maximum Amount shall exclude any purchases by the Purchaser pursuant to Article XII.

ARTICLE II.
OFFERS; PURCHASE, SALE AND DELIVERY OF CLASS B COMMON STOCK.
Section 2.01    Initial Offer and Closing.
(a)        Promptly (but in any event within five (5) business days) following the date hereof, the Company shall commence a share repurchase offer (the “Initial Offer”), pursuant to which the Company shall offer to repurchase shares of Class B Common Stock from existing stockholders of the Company at a price of $10.48 per share (the “Initial Offer Price”).  The Parties agree that the Initial Offer Price is equal to the current FMV (as defined below). The Initial Offer shall be held open by the Company for no less than twenty (20) business days (such twentieth business day being the “Expiration Date”).  Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company may extend the Expiration Date of the Initial Offer and terminate, withdraw or otherwise amend or modify the Initial Offer in its sole discretion.
(b)        Promptly (but in any event within five (5) business days) following the Expiration Date, the Company shall provide a written report (the “Purchase Report”) to the Purchaser setting forth the total number of shares of Class B Common Stock to be sold to Purchaser by the Company and pursuant to any Direct Sales (as defined below) by any Selling Stockholders (as defined below) (collectively, the “Initial Shares”).  The Initial Shares shall include and consist of all of the following amounts of shares of Class B Common Stock and the Purchase Report shall include a summary thereof (including the names of the record and beneficial owners thereof): (a) the number of shares of Class B Common Stock validly tendered, not withdrawn and accepted for payment by the Company (the “Tendered Shares”); (b) the number of Direct Shares offered for sale by the Selling Stockholders in accordance with Section 2.03 hereof, if any (as to which the Company shall waive any applicable transfer restrictions); and (c) the number of shares of Class B Common Stock purchased by the Company from employee stockholders pursuant to the Company’s Equity Incentive Plans during the one hundred and eighty (180) day period preceding the Expiration Date that the Company elects to sell to the Purchaser hereunder (collectively, “Additional Shares”); provided that, to the extent the aggregate purchase price for the Tendered Shares and Direct Shares to be sold at the Initial Closing is less than $20 million, the Company shall sell to the Purchaser the lesser of (1) all Additional Shares actually purchased by the Company from employee stockholders pursuant to the Company’s Equity Incentive Plans during the one hundred and eighty (180) day period preceding the Expiration Date and (2) the number of Additional Shares necessary to cause the aggregate purchase price for all the Initial Shares to equal $20 million.  The Company’s delivery of the Purchase Report shall create a binding obligation hereunder with respect to the Initial Shares (x) on the Company to sell the Tendered Shares and the Additional Shares, if any,  to the Purchaser at the Initial Closing, and (y) on the Purchaser to purchase such Tendered Shares and Additional Shares, if any,  from the Company at the Initial Closing and to accept the offer by each Selling Stockholder to purchase the Direct Shares, on and subject to the terms of this Agreement and each Stock Purchase Agreement, as applicable, at the Initial Closing.
(c)        No later than five (5) business days following the delivery of the Purchase Report (such date, the “Closing Date”), and subject to the fulfillment of the conditions set forth in Articles IV and V hereof, the Purchaser shall purchase the Tendered Shares and Additional Shares, if any, from the Company and the Direct Shares, if any, from the Selling Stockholders.
​

​
The aggregate purchase price for the Initial Shares (the “Initial Purchase Price”) shall be determined by multiplying the number of Initial Shares by the Initial Offer Price, and shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company in the Purchase Report, it being understood and agreed that the Company shall act as paying agent for each Selling Stockholder and in no circumstances shall Purchaser have any obligation to make any payment to any person or entity other than the Company (the initial issuance and sale of the Initial Shares  being referred to as the “Initial Closing”).  At the Initial Closing, the Company shall deliver a stock certificate evidencing the Purchaser’s ownership of the Initial Shares.  At the Initial Closing, all previously-issued stock certificates representing the Initial Shares sold at the Initial Closing shall be cancelled by the Company and Purchaser shall be registered on the books and records of the Company as the record holder of the Initial Shares.
Section 2.02    Subsequent Offers and Additional Closings.  To the extent the aggregate of the Initial Purchase Price and, following any Additional Closing (as defined below), each Subsequent Purchase Price (as defined below) paid by the Purchaser hereunder and for any Direct Shares sold in accordance with Section 2.03 is less than the Maximum Amount, the provisions of this Section 2.02 shall apply.
(a)        Subject to Section 2.02(f), after the Initial Closing and, if applicable, each Additional Closing Date, the Company shall commence (no more than twice per calendar year beginning in 2017 and promptly after the determination of the applicable FMV as provided below), and shall provide at least ten (10) business days’ prior written notice to the Purchaser of the Company’s commencement of, a Class B Common Stock share repurchase offer from any or all of its then-existing Company stockholders (other than the Purchaser) and shall sell to the Purchaser, on the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement (each such subsequent share repurchase offer a “Subsequent Offer” and, together with the Initial Offer, each an “Offer”), the Subsequent Shares (as defined below).
(b)        No more than twice per calendar year beginning in 2017 (i) the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) shall adopt a new fair market value of a single share of the Company’s Class B Common Stock, which shall be the fair market value utilized for financial reporting purposes and for other transactions involving the Company’s Class B Common Stock or comparable securities (the “FMV”) and (ii) the Company shall commence a Subsequent Offer pursuant to which it shall offer to repurchase shares of Class B Common Stock from any or all of its then-existing stockholders (other than the Purchaser) at a price per share equal to such FMV (the applicable “Subsequent Offer Price” and together with the Initial Offer Price, each an “Offer Price”). At least ten (10) business days prior to commencement of each such Subsequent Offer, the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser a report (the “FMV Report”) setting forth in reasonable detail the FMV and reasonable supporting materials, assumptions, comparable, analysis and calculations therefor (including copies of any financial statements, projections or other materials referenced in or made a part of such FMV Report).  Each FMV Report shall be prepared by CBIZ, LLC (or such other independent third party appraiser approved by the Purchaser, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) using the same or substantially the same methodologies and similar parameters and approaches to those utilized in the FMV Report, dated as of June 30, 2016, that was used to determine the Initial Offer Price, subject, in all cases, to reasonable variations arising from or related to the passage of time and changing business conditions (the “Acceptable Methodologies”).  If the FMV adopted
​

​
by the Board is different from the fair market value of Class B Common Stock set forth in the FMV Report, the Company shall also deliver to Purchaser a reconciliation or explanation setting forth in reasonable detail the reasons for the difference.  The parties agree that the FMV Reports prepared by CBIZ, LLC and included in the Data Room as of the date hereof have been prepared using Acceptable Methodologies and constitute FMV Reports hereunder. The Purchaser shall have ten (10) business days following the delivery of the FMV Report to provide the Company with notice of an FMV Deviation (as defined below). If the Purchaser fails to deliver such notice in a timely fashion, the Purchaser shall be obligated to purchase the Subsequent Shares (as defined below) designated in the applicable Subsequent Purchase Report (as defined below) for the Subsequent Purchase Price (as defined below); provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if (i) the FMV adopted by the Board is different from the fair market value of Class B Common Stock set forth in the applicable FMV Report, (ii) the applicable FMV Report was not prepared in accordance with Acceptable Methodologies, (iii) the applicable FMV and Subsequent Offer Price with respect to such Subsequent Shares is greater than 10% higher than the FMV and Offer Price utilized in the then most recent prior Closing or (iv) the applicable FMV and Subsequent Offer Price with respect to such Subsequent Shares is greater than 20% higher than the FMV and Offer Price utilized in the then second most recent prior Closing (if any), then in any such case (each, a “FMV Deviation”), the Purchaser shall not be bound to purchase any such Subsequent Shares and instead shall have (x) the option, at its sole election and discretion, to purchase such Subsequent Shares at the FMV that gave rise to the FMV Deviation (it being understood and agreed, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Company shall still be bound to sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall be bound to buy from the Company, such Subsequent Shares if Purchaser so elects), (y) an opportunity to discuss the reasons for the FMV Deviation with the Company, and (z) reasonable access to the documentation and other supporting materials informing the FMV, in each case, as is reasonably necessary in order for the parties to reach an understanding with respect to the reasons for the FMV Deviation.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Purchaser’s option set forth in clause (x), above, shall expire (with respect to the applicable Subsequent Offer only) if not exercised by the tenth (10th) day following the Purchaser’s notification of an FMV Deviation, unless extended by the Company in its sole discretion.  If the Purchaser does not exercise the option set forth in clause (x) above in a timely fashion with respect to a particular Subsequent Offer, the Company shall not be obligated to commence such Subsequent Offer, and the Purchaser shall accordingly have irrevocably waived any right to acquire the applicable Subsequent Shares solely with respect to such Subsequent Offer and contemplated Subsequent Closing; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the failure to exercise such option with respect to a particular FMV Deviation, Subsequent Offer and contemplated Subsequent Closing shall not constitute a rejection of any other opportunities to purchase any Subsequent Shares at a different Subsequent Closing under this Agreement and the Purchaser’s rights and the Company’s obligations in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 2.02 shall continue with respect to future Subsequent Offers.
(c)        Each Subsequent Offer shall be held open by the Company for no less than twenty (20) business days (such twentieth business day being the “Subsequent Expiration Date”).  Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company may extend any Subsequent Expiration Date of any Subsequent Offer in its sole discretion and terminate, withdraw or otherwise amend or modify the Subsequent Offer in its sole discretion.
​

​
(d)        Promptly following each Subsequent Expiration Date with respect to a Subsequent Offer, the Company shall provide a written report (a “Subsequent Purchase Report”) to the Purchaser setting forth the total number of shares of Class B Common Stock to be sold to Purchaser by the Company and pursuant to any Direct Sales at the applicable Additional Closing (as defined below) (collectively, the “Subsequent Shares”).  The Subsequent Shares shall include and consist of all of the following amounts of shares of Class B Common Stock and the Subsequent Purchase Report shall include a summary thereof (including the names of the record and beneficial owners thereof): (a) the number of Tendered Shares with respect to such Subsequent Offer (the “Subsequent Tendered Shares”); (b) the number of Direct Shares offered for sale by the Selling Stockholders with respect to such Subsequent Offer in accordance with Section 2.03 hereof, if any (as to which the Company shall waive any applicable transfer restrictions); and (c) the number of shares of Class B Common Stock actually purchased by the Company from employee stockholders pursuant to the Company’s Equity Incentive Plans during the period beginning on the date the last Subsequent Purchase Report was delivered hereunder (or, in the case of the Initial Offer, the Purchase Report) and ending on the applicable Subsequent Expiration Date (the “Subsequent Additional Shares”). The Company’s delivery of a Subsequent Purchase Report shall create a binding obligation hereunder with respect to the applicable Subsequent Shares (x) on the Company to sell the Subsequent Tendered Shares and the Subsequent Additional Shares to the Purchaser at the applicable Additional Closing and (y) on the Purchaser to purchase such Subsequent Shares from the Company at such Additional Closing and to accept the offer by each Selling Stockholder to purchase the Direct Shares on and subject to the terms of this Agreement and each applicable Stock Purchase Agreement, at the applicable Additional Closing.
(e)        If the Purchaser is bound to do so, no later than ten (10) business days following the delivery of the Subsequent Purchase Report (each such date, an “Additional Closing Date”), and subject to the fulfillment of the conditions set forth in Articles IV and V hereof (and any applicable conditions in any Stock Purchase Agreement), the Purchaser shall purchase the Subsequent Tendered Shares and the Subsequent Additional Shares, if any, from the Company and the Direct Shares, if any, from the Selling Stockholders.  The aggregate purchase price for the Subsequent Shares (the “Subsequent Purchase Price”) shall be determined by multiplying the number of Subsequent Shares by the Subsequent Offer Price, and shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company, which shall act as paying agent for each Selling Stockholder (it being understood and agreed that in no circumstances shall Purchaser have any obligation to make any payment to any person or entity other than the Company) (each such issuance and sale of the Subsequent Tendered Shares and Subsequent Additional Shares and each sale of any Direct Shares being referred to as, an “Additional Closing” and, collectively with the Initial Closing, the “Closings” and each individually a “Closing”).  At each Additional Closing, the Company shall deliver a stock certificate evidencing the Purchaser’s ownership of the Subsequent Shares. At each Additional Closing, all previously-issued stock certificates representing the Subsequent Shares sold at such Additional Closing shall be cancelled by the Company and Purchaser shall be registered on the books and records of the Company as the record holder of the Subsequent Shares.
(f)        The Company and the Purchaser shall continue to follow the procedures set forth in Section 2.02 until such time as this Agreement expires or is terminated or the Purchaser has paid the Maximum Amount hereunder (including for any Direct Shares), whichever occurs first.
​

​
Following the date on which the Purchaser has paid the Maximum Amount (including for any Direct Shares), the Purchaser shall no longer be obligated to buy any further shares of Class B Common Stock hereunder or from any Selling Stockholder pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement (or, for the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement).  For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Article II shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the effectiveness of a registration statement and/or registration of shares, as applicable, in connection with an underwritten public offering relating to a Registration Event (as defined below) (an “Effective Registration”).  In addition, if the Board of Directors of the Company, acting on advice of outside counsel, reasonably determines in good faith that commencing a new Subsequent Offer could materially impact, or would reasonably be expected to be materially impacted by, a Registration Event expected to be consummated by the Company in the succeeding 9-month period, the Company may elect to suspend the provisions of this Article II by providing written notice of such election to the Purchaser, and such suspension shall remain in effect until such time that the Company notifies the Purchaser that the Company is no longer actively employing good faith commercially reasonable efforts to cause an Effective Registration.  For the purposes of this Agreement, “Registration Event” means such time subsequent to the date hereof that the Company first files a registration statement (including a draft registration statement confidentially submitted to the Securities Exchange Commission) with respect to the sale of its common stock to the public under the Act and/or registers its shares under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Section 2.03   Direct Shares.  To the extent that any stockholder of the Company (a “Selling Stockholder”) does not participate in the Initial Offer or a Subsequent Offer for any reasonable reason and wishes to sell Class B Common Stock (“Direct Shares”) directly to Purchaser at the Initial Offer Price or Subsequent Offer Price per share (as applicable) at an applicable Closing (a “Direct Sale”), then the Company shall advise the Purchaser of the proposed sale of such Direct Shares in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Article II, and the provisions of Article XIX shall apply; provided that Purchaser shall purchase all of such Direct Shares, subject to the Maximum Amount and the terms of this Agreement, directly from such Selling Stockholder pursuant to an agreement in the form of the Stock Purchase Agreement attached as Exhibit A hereto (each, a “Stock Purchase Agreement”).  The purchase price paid by Purchaser for any Direct Shares acquired shall be specified in the Purchase Report and each Subsequent Purchase Report, as applicable, and shall apply toward the Maximum Amount, and shall be paid directly to the Company as paying agent.
Section 2.04    Future Share Repurchase Programs.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, prior to an Effective Registration, if the Company wishes to initiate any share repurchase program or other program involving a third party purchaser similar to the actions contemplated to be taken by the Company under this Article II, the Company shall notify the Purchaser of its intention and the Purchaser shall have the exclusive option to assume the role of purchaser in such program, which option must be exercised no later than the 20th business day following Purchaser’s receipt of the Company’s notice, it being understood and agreed that during such 20 business day period, the Company shall be precluded from offering to, or engaging, any other third party to take such role in any such program.  The Company agrees to engage with Purchaser in good faith discussions regarding the potential extension or renewal of Article II or any similar share repurchase program beyond the Maximum Amount.
​

​
Section 2.05    Top-Up Shares.  If at the time of an Effective Registration relating to an initial public offering by the Company of its Class B Common Stock (an “IPO”) the aggregate purchase price paid by the Purchaser hereunder for shares of Class B Common Stock is less than the Maximum Amount (as such amount may be increased from time to time) (such deficit, a “Shortfall”), then concurrently with the closing of the IPO (the “IPO Closing”), the Company shall, directly or indirectly, cause the sale to the Purchaser of, and the Purchaser shall purchase, the Top-Up Shares (as defined below), at a price per share equal to the price per share that the Class B Common Stock is sold to the public in the IPO at the IPO Closing (the “IPO Price”).  The “Top-Up Shares” means a number of shares of Class B Common Stock determined by dividing the Shortfall by the IPO Price.
ARTICLE III.
CONDITIONS OF THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE PURCHASER
The obligation of the Purchaser to purchase and pay for the Class B Common Stock (whether Initial Shares, Subsequent Shares or otherwise, and whether under this Agreement or any Stock Purchase Agreement) at the Initial Closing and each Additional Closing (if applicable) are subject to the satisfaction as of each such Closing of the following conditions:
Section 3.01    The representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Article V hereof shall be true and correct (for these purposes, disregarding any qualification therein to “Material Adverse Effect”, “material adverse effect”, “material”, “materially” or other terms of  a similar nature  and related qualifiers) in all material respects (except for the representations and warranties in Sections 5.01, 5.02, 5.03, 5.04, 5.07(1), 5.08(1), 5.10, 5.11, 5.13 and 5.14, which shall be true and correct in all respects) and the representations of each Key Holder set forth in Article VII shall be true and correct in all respects, in each case on and as of the Closing Date and each Additional Closing Date (as applicable) (except those representations and warranties that address matters only as of a specified date, the accuracy of which shall be determined as of that specified date in all material respects), and all of the respective covenants, agreements, obligations and conditions of the Company and Key Holders required to be performed or complied with on or prior to the applicable Closing shall have been performed or complied with in all material respects at or prior to the applicable Closing.
Section 3.02    An authorized officer of the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser at each applicable Closing a certificate certifying that the conditions specified in this Article III have been fulfilled and satisfied.
Section 3.03     All authorizations, approvals or permits, if any, of any governmental authority or regulatory body of the United States or of any state that are required in connection with the lawful issuance and sale of the Offered Shares pursuant to this Agreement shall be obtained and effective as of each applicable Closing.
Section 3.04    No statute, rule or regulation shall have been enacted or promulgated by any governmental entity which prohibits the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and there shall be no order or injunction of a court of competent jurisdiction in effect preventing the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
​

​
Section 3.05    The Company shall have delivered to the Purchaser, whether by uploading to the Data Room or otherwise, a capitalization table updating the information set forth in Section 5.02 as of the most recent practicable date preceding the Closing Date and each Additional Closing Date (as applicable) (but without giving effect to the applicable Closing).
Section 3.06    The Secretary of the Company shall have delivered to the Purchaser at each applicable Closing a certificate certifying (a) the then current Bylaws of the Company, as may be amended and restated from time to time, (b) the then current Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as may be amended and restated from time to time, (c) resolutions of the Board of the Company, and if required by applicable law, the stockholders of the Company, approving this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby and the documents related hereto and (d) that the Company is in good standing in the State of Delaware.
Section 3.07     No action, suit or proceeding shall be pending or threatened before any governmental entity wherein an unfavorable injunction, judgment, order, decree, ruling or charge would reasonably be expected to prevent consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby.
Section 3.08    With respect to the Initial Closing and each Additional Closing, the Company shall have made offers to repurchase shares of Class B Common Stock from stockholders of the Company holding such number of shares that, if accepted, would afford the Purchaser the ability to cumulatively purchase the Maximum Amount.
Section 3.09    With respect to each Additional Closing, no FMV Deviation shall have occurred that the Purchaser has not then waived in writing.
Section 3.10    Solely with respect to the sale of any Direct Shares at any Closing, a Stock Purchase Agreement with respect thereto shall have been duly executed and delivered by any Selling Stockholders with respect to such Direct Shares and be in full force and effect with any and all conditions thereunder satisfied (or validly waived) (it being understood and agreed that the failure of the condition set forth in this Section 3.10 shall only relieve the Purchaser of its obligation to purchase Direct Shares from the Selling Stockholder who has failed to deliver a Stock Purchase Agreement or satisfied the conditions thereunder, and shall not relieve the Purchaser from its obligation to purchase the Initial Shares or Subsequent Shares, as applicable, at such Closing).
Section 3.11    The Company shall not have experienced any Material Adverse Effect (as defined below).
ARTICLE IV.

​

9

​
a particular Closing shall be qualified solely by the Disclosure Schedules, including Updated Schedules, delivered in respect of such Closing and not by any Disclosure Schedules delivered in connection with any subsequent Closing).  If in the absence of the Updated Schedules the condition set forth in Section 3.01 would not be met, the Purchaser may elect not to consummate the applicable Closing by delivering written notice of such election to the Company within five (5) business days of its receipt of the Updated Schedules.  If such timely election is not delivered to the Company, the Purchaser shall have waived any right not to consummate the applicable Closing on the basis of any matters set forth in the Updated Schedules.

Each subsidiary of the Company has been duly incorporated, organized or formed, as applicable, and is existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, organization or formation, as applicable, with corporate, limited liability company, as applicable, and/or other similar power and authority to own its properties and conduct its business as presently conducted; and each subsidiary of the Company is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation or other entity, as applicable, in good standing in all other jurisdictions in which its ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification in each case, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing in such other jurisdictions as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 12.02  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article XII, if the Company or any Key Holder proposes to undertake or pursue a Right of First Refusal Transaction other than Exempt Transactions, the Company or such selling Key Holder, as applicable, shall give notice to Purchaser setting forth its bona fide intention to pursue such Right of First Refusal Transaction and setting forth in reasonable detail the terms and conditions of such proposed Right of First Refusal Transaction, including (a), its bona fide intention to pursue such Right of First Refusal Transaction, (b) the name and address of any prospective purchaser(s) or other participants (and any person or entity controlling such purchaser(s) or participants) or providing material debt or equity financing thereto, (c) the proposed amount and form of consideration and terms and conditions of payment offered by the prospective purchaser(s), and (d) all other material terms of the proposed transaction including the expected closing date of the transaction (the “Right of First Refusal Notice”).

Section 12.03  By notification to the Company or the selling Key Holder, as applicable, within 30 days after the Right of First Refusal Notice is delivered to Purchaser (the “ROFR
​

20

​
Exercise Period”), Purchaser may elect to accept such ROFR Offer by delivery of written notice to the Company or the selling Key Holder, as applicable, which acceptance (a “ROFR Acceptance”) shall create a binding obligation on the Parties to enter into and consummate transactions (the “ROFR Exercise Transactions”) as follows: (i) with respect to a Deemed Liquidation Event or Company Issuance, Purchaser shall have the right to enter into the Right of First Refusal Transaction with the Company (or if applicable selling Key Holders) on the same terms as set forth in the Right of First Refusal Notice in lieu of any other proposed counterparties thereto or (ii) with respect to Capital Stock to be Transferred by a selling Key Holder, (a) if such sale is for less than 5% of the amount of the then issued and outstanding shares of Capital Stock of the Company (measured on a fully-diluted and as-converted basis), Purchaser shall have the right to acquire such Capital Stock for a price equal to the then current FMV (which the Company shall prepare anew if the then most recent FMV is more than six (6) months old) and otherwise on applicable terms consistent with those set forth in the Right of First Refusal Notice, or (b) if such sale is for 5% or more of the amount of the then issued outstanding shares of Capital Stock of the Company (measured on a fully-diluted and as-converted basis), Purchaser shall have the right to acquire such Capital Stock for consideration equal to the greater of (x) the price set forth in the Right of First Refusal Notice and to be paid by the proposed purchaser in the Right of First Refusal Transaction and (y) the then current FMV (which the Company shall prepare anew if the then most recent FMV is more than six (6) months old), and otherwise on applicable terms consistent with those set forth in the Right of First Refusal Offer Notice. For purposes of the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed that in the event any Right of First Refusal Transaction contemplates non-cash consideration to the Company (or its equity holders, including any Key Holder), Purchaser shall have the right to substitute comparable (but not identical) non-cash consideration or, at Purchaser’s option in lieu thereof, cash consideration of substantially equivalent value (determined by applying the Acceptable Methodologies to the extent reasonably applicable).
Section 12.04  In the event the Purchaser delivers a ROFR Acceptance, the parties will negotiate in good faith and enter into definitive documentation providing for the consummation of the ROFR Exercise Transaction as soon as practicable on market terms for transactions of a similar type to the extent such terms are not otherwise provided for and contemplated by Section 12.03 (and otherwise on such terms).  The closing of any ROFR Exercise Transactions shall take place at such date for closing contemplated by the Right of First Refusal Notice or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, subject to extension to the extent necessary to satisfy applicable regulatory or other third party approvals that are required or advisable in connection with the consummation of such ROFR Exercise Transaction; provided that in no event shall Purchaser be required to close any such ROFR Exercise Transaction prior to the 30th day following execution of the definitive documentation with respect to such ROFR Exercise Transaction.

​

21

(a)        Subsequent to an Effective Registration, in the event that the Company or any Key Holder receives any non-public proposal or offer from a third party (excluding for this purpose any member of the Bentley family and their respective affiliates) and that the Company or such Key Holder elects to pursue (a “Third Party Proposal”) with respect to any (x) Deemed Liquidation Event, (y) Company Issuances not involving a public offering of Capital Stock (a “Non-Public Offering”), or (z) any Transfer of any Capital Stock by a Key Holder in a single transaction in excess of 1% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Capital Stock of the Company (measured on a fully-diluted and as-converted basis) (other than Exempt Transactions)  (each, of the foregoing, a “Right of Participation Transaction”), the Company or such Key Holder, as applicable, shall timely notify the Purchaser of such Right of Participation Transaction to permit the Purchaser with an opportunity to participate in any such transaction on the terms provided in this Section 12.13 (which notification shall include in reasonable detail the material terms and conditions of such Third Party Proposal materially consistent with the detail and terms that would be included in any Right of First Refusal Notice; provided that the Company or Key Holder, as applicable, may exclude from its notice any terms that could enable the Purchaser to determine the identity of the third party).

(b)        Subsequent to an Effective Registration, in the event that the Company or any Key Holder elects to undertake a Right of Participation Transaction and has not received a Third Party Proposal, the Company or such Key Holder, as applicable, shall notify the Purchaser of
​

25

​
such desire.  The Purchaser shall have 20 days after receipt of such notification to submit to the Company or such Key Holder, as applicable, a binding offer to engage in a Right of Participation Transaction with the Company or such Key Holder, as applicable, which offer shall include all of the material terms thereof proposed by Purchaser and shall remain open and valid for the duration of the Restricted Period, if applicable (the “Purchaser Initial Offer”).
(c)        If the Purchaser timely submits a Purchaser Additional Offer or a Purchaser Initial Offer to the Company or such Key Holder, as applicable, the Company or such Key Holder, as applicable, shall not, during the period beginning on the date of such timely submission and ending upon the earlier to occur of (i) 12 months after such date and (ii) the date on which the Purchaser Additional Offer or Purchaser Initial Offer, as applicable, expires, lapses or is otherwise withdrawn or revoked (such period of time, the “Restricted Period”), consummate a Right of Participation Transaction with any third party other than Purchaser on terms, including price, less favorable in the aggregate (in the case of a sale by the Company, as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board) than the price and terms provided in the Purchaser Additional Offer or the Purchaser Initial Offer, as applicable.
(d)        Subject to paragraph (e), below, Purchaser may improve the terms included in any Purchaser Additional Offer or Purchaser Initial Offer at any time. Purchaser’s right to improve its offers shall include Purchaser’s right to be informed by the Company of receipt of an offer that includes terms, including price, more favorable in the aggregate than the terms provided in the applicable Purchaser offer.  The Company’s determination with respect to each improved Purchaser Additional Offer or Purchaser Initial Offer shall take into account all revisions made by Purchaser to such offers prior to such determination
(e)        At any time following its receipt of a Purchaser Additional Offer or Purchaser Initial Offer, in each case, if applicable as improved by Purchaser pursuant to subsection (d) above, the Company or the Key Holder, as applicable, may notify the Purchaser and each other third party with whom the Company or the Key Holder, as applicable, is dealing in respect of the Right of Participation Transaction that the Purchaser and each such third party must submit a “best and final” offer for the Right of Participation Transaction.  Following such request, the Company or the Key Holder, as applicable shall not be obligated to continue to follow the procedures set forth in Section 12.13(d) and may accept any offer reasonably determined by the Board or the Key Holder, as applicable, to be the most favorable to the Company based on terms, including price (taking into account all improvements made by Purchaser prior to such determination).
(f)        Subject to the terms hereof, during the Restricted Period, the Company shall have the right to consummate a Right of Participation Transaction with any third party on terms, including price, more favorable in the aggregate (in the case of the Company, as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board) than the terms initially provided in the Purchaser Additional Offer or the Purchaser Initial Offer, as applicable; provided, that if the Company or any applicable selling Key Holder does not consummate  a Right of Participation Transaction on such terms within the Restricted Period, the right of participation described in this Section 12.13 in favor of Purchaser provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and renewed and the Company and Key Holders shall not be permitted, and shall not consummate, a Right of Participation Transaction without first complying with the terms of this Article XII anew,
​

26

​
including by providing Purchaser with a new notice of such Right of Participation Transaction or any other Right of Participation Transaction.
(g)        If, following an IPO, the Company issues shares of Capital Stock in an offering other than a Non-Public Offering (“Public Offering”), the Purchaser shall have the right to purchase, for the price per share used as the basis for the applicable Public Offering, additional shares as are necessary so that the Purchaser’s percentage ownership on a fully diluted basis at the time of such Public Offering, is unchanged as a result of each such Public Offering.
(h)        The Purchaser acknowledges that any information relating to a Right of Participation Transaction may constitute material non-public information and therefore shall (1) maintain the confidentiality of any such information provided to it and not disclose such information to any third party, other than to employees or agents who have a “need to know” such information; provided that such employees and agents agree to keep such information confidential or as required by law or pursuant to a regulatory request, (2) comply with its obligations under the U.S. federal securities laws with respect to such information, and (3) not trade on or otherwise use any such material, non-public information for its own gain, in each case, notwithstanding any termination or expiration of this Agreement, in each case of the foregoing, consistent with Article IX and with applicable exceptions provided therein applied mutatis mutandis.

ARTICLE XIII.
TAG-ALONG RIGHTS
Section 13.01  General. Subject to prior compliance with this Article XIII, if any Key Holder elects to consummate a transaction described in clause (b) of Section 12.03 solely involving a Key Holder (other than Exempt Transactions, and other than any sales of Capital Stock to be made as part of an underwritten offering) at any time prior to an Effective Registration with any person (a “Tag-Along Transferee”) (as described herein, a “Tag-Along Sale”), then Purchaser may participate in the Tag-Along Sale (such participation rights being hereinafter referred to as “Tag-Along Rights”) with respect to a number of Class B Common Stock it elects up to its Pro Rata Portion of the Capital Stock being Transferred in the Tag-Along Sale.  “Pro Rata Portion” means, with respect to the number of shares of Capital Stock to be sold in a Tag-Along Sale, the number of shares of Class B Common Stock equal to the product of (x) the total number of shares of Capital Stock the proposed transferee proposes to purchase and (y) a fraction (A) the numerator of which is equal to the number of shares of Class B Common Stock then held by the Purchaser and (B) the denominator of which is equal to the number of outstanding shares of Capital Stock of the Company (on a fully-diluted basis).
(a)        Subject to Section 13.03, Purchaser will be entitled to Transfer all of the Class B Common Stock to be Transferred in connection with the exercise of Tag-Along Rights on the same terms (other than aggregate price) and conditions applicable to, and for the same type of
​

27

​
consideration payable to, the Key Holders, at the price calculated in accordance with Section 13.03(b).
(b)        The aggregate purchase price payable for the Capital Stock purchased by a Tag-Along Transferee will be allocated, paid and distributed among the Key Holders and the Purchaser in proportion to the number of shares of each such party’s Capital Stock included in the Tag-Along Sale and the terms of the Tag-Along Sale shall be applied (subject to such proportion and Section 13.02 below) equally to the Key Holders and the Purchaser.
Section 13.02  Terms of Sale. In connection with the Tag-Along Sale, the Key Holders (as applicable) and Purchaser will execute such documents, and make the same representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities as are required by the Tag-Along Transferee in connection with the Tag-Along Sale; provided that any such indemnification or similar obligations will be apportioned pro rata among the Key Holders and Purchaser based on the proceeds received by them, other than with respect to representations made individually by a party as to facts and circumstances particular to such party (e.g., representations as to title or authority of such party or representations qualified by the individual knowledge of such party, which representations shall not be required of Purchaser to the extent not required of the Key Holders, and the Purchaser’s responsibility therefor shall not exceed the proportionate responsibility of the Key Holders with respect to their respective comparable representations) and in no event shall the Purchaser’s aggregate liability in connection with any Tag-Along Sale exceed the proceeds actually received by it in such Tag-Along Sale. In connection with a Tag-Along Sale, the Company shall not treat the Key Holders and Purchaser differently with respect to such Tag-Along Sale.
Section 13.03  Tag-Along Notice. Prior to any Key Holder making any Transfer that gives rise to Tag-Along Rights pursuant to this Article XIII, such Key Holder will give written notice (a “Tag-Along Notice”) to Purchaser, setting forth in reasonable detail the terms and conditions of such proposed transfer or sale, including (a) the name and address of the Tag-Along Transferee (and of its beneficial owners if known), (b) the proposed amount and form of consideration and terms and conditions of payment offered by the Tag-Along Transferee, and (c) all other material terms of the proposed transaction including the expected closing date of the transaction. In the event that the terms or conditions set forth in the Tag-Along Notice are thereafter amended in any material respect, the Company will promptly give written notice (an “Amended Tag-Along Notice”) of the amended terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer to Purchaser. If Purchaser opts to exercise its Tag-Along Rights, it will give written notice to the Company within ten business days after receipt of the Tag-Along Notice, or, if later, within three (3) business says after receipt of the most recent Amended Tag-Along Notice, of its intention to participate in the Tag-Along Sale on the terms and conditions set forth in such Tag-Along Notice or the most recent Amended Tag-Along Notice. If Purchaser has not provided written notice to the Company of its intent to exercise its Tag-Along Rights within the time periods specified above, Purchaser will be conclusively deemed to have elected not to exercise such Tag-Along Rights; provided that in the event any of the information contemplated by the foregoing clauses (a) through (c) changes in any material respect, the Key Holders shall be obligated to provide a new Tag-Along Notice and the Purchaser’s rights in respect thereof shall be renewed.

ARTICLE XIV.
EMPLOYEE ISSUANCES
Section 14.01 Subject to Section 14.02, in the event that the Company issues shares to Company employees pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plans (“Equity Issuance”), the Purchaser shall have the right to purchase, for the price per share used as the basis for the applicable Equity Issuance, additional shares as are necessary so that the Purchaser’s percentage ownership on a fully diluted basis at the time of such Equity Issuance, is unchanged as a result of each such Equity Issuance.
Section 14.02  The right set forth in Section 14.01 shall not be available to Purchaser for Equity Issuances that will not result in an increase of the Company’s Overhang by more than 10%.  The “Company’s Overhang” as of the date of the FMV Report relating to the Initial Offer is 24%.
Section 14.03  The provisions of this Article XIV shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) a Significant Sale and (ii) an Effective Registration.

Beginning eighteen (18) months following the Company’s initial public offering, the Purchaser may request one (consummated) registration by the Company of its shares on Form S-1 and unlimited registrations on Form S-3 (to the extent available, and no more than two per year).  A registration will count for this purpose only if (i) all shares requested to be registered are registered, and (ii) it is closed. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep a Form S-3 shelf registration available for Purchaser to sell shares.
Section 15.02  Piggyback Registration Rights. If the Company proposes to register (including, for this purpose, a registration effected by the Company for stockholders other than Purchaser) any of its securities under the Securities Act in connection with the public offering of such securities (other than in (a) a registration relating to the sale of securities to employees of the Company or a subsidiary pursuant to a stock option, stock purchase, or similar plan or (b) a registration relating to an SEC Rule 145 transaction), the Company shall, at such time, promptly give Purchaser notice of such registration.  Upon the request of Purchaser given within twenty (20) days after such notice is given by the Company, the Company shall cause to be registered all of the capital stock that Purchaser has requested to be included in such registration, subject to cut back at the request of any underwriter used in connection with such registration (applied proportionately and otherwise equally with respect to all participants in such registration).  The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Article XV before the effective date of such registration, whether or not Purchaser has elected to include capital stock in such registration. The expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company.
Section 15.03 Expenses.  The registration expenses (exclusive of stock transfer taxes, underwriting discounts and commissions) will be borne by the Company.

Section 15.04  Registration Rights Agreement. The foregoing registration rights will be set forth in a Registration Rights Agreement reasonably acceptable to Purchaser that contains the foregoing provisions and other customary terms and conditions, including customary indemnification provisions.
Section 15.05  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall restrict the Purchaser from acquiring securities of the Company in the open market following the initial public offering of the Company’s common stock; provided that neither Purchaser nor any of its affiliates shall acquire the Company’s Capital Stock to the extent that, following such acquisition, the Purchaser and its affiliates, together with all affiliates of the Company (including the Key Holders and directors and executive officers of the Company, and their respective affiliates), would hold such number of shares of Capital Stock equal to or exceeding 80% of the aggregate number of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Capital Stock.
Section 15.06   No later than ninety (90) days following the execution of this Agreement the Company and Purchaser shall execute and deliver a registration rights agreement consistent with the provisions of this Article XV (a “Registration Rights Agreement”).  In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Article XV and the Registration Rights Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, upon its execution and delivery by each party thereto, shall prevail.
ARTICLE XVI.
PUBLICITY
Section 16.01  Except as may be permitted by the Strategic Collaboration Agreement or otherwise agreed by the Parties, no Party hereto shall (i) use the other Party’s name, (ii) refer to the relationship between the Parties or (iii) disclose any terms or other information included in this Agreement, in each of clauses (i) through (iii) in any public communications, advertisement, news release or professional or trade publication, or in any other public manner without the other Party’s prior written consent, unless required by law including any rule or regulation promulgated by the SEC or any other competent regulatory authority; it being agreed that, to the extent legally permissible, the party required to make such disclosure shall, at a reasonable time before making any such disclosure (including, without limitation, filing any document or material with the SEC, or any other competent regulatory authority), consult with the other Party regarding such disclosure and revise such disclosure as reasonably requested by the other Party.

Nothing in this paragraph limits the obligations of the parties under the Strategic Collaboration Agreement.

ARTICLE XXIII.
TERM OF AGREEMENT; TERMINATION
The obligations of the Parties pursuant to Article II shall remain in effect until December 31, 2026 or until such time as the Purchaser purchases the Maximum Amount (it being understood and agreed that any future automatic increase to the then applicable Maximum Amount (whether or not such increase has occurred) shall be given effect as if it has occurred when determining the Maximum Amount for this purpose), whichever occurs first, unless otherwise terminated by mutual written agreement of the Purchaser and the Company.  In addition, the Purchaser may elect to terminate this Agreement (including its obligations under Article II) by providing written notice of termination to the Company if the Strategic Collaboration Agreement has not been executed and delivered by the parties thereto on or prior to 30 April 2017.  Either party may terminate this Agreement in the event of a material breach of this Agreement by the other party that is not cured by the breaching party within 30 days of the date the non-breaching party provides the breaching party with reasonably detailed written notice of said breach (including a description of the facts and circumstances giving rise to such breach and the applicable Section(s) of this Agreement that have been breached). The Parties agree that in the event of the termination (or anticipated termination) of Article II other than as a result of a breach, an Effective Registration or by mutual written agreement of Purchaser and the Company, the Parties shall engage in good faith discussions regarding the potential extension or renewal of Article II.  This Agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no further force upon an Effective Registration.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Articles V, VI and VII shall survive to the extent provided in Article XXIV, and Articles IX (Confidentiality), X (Transfer Restrictions; Lock-Up), XV (Registration Rights), XVI (Publicity), XVII (Disclaimer of Corporate Opportunity Doctrine), XVIII (Waiver of Claims) and XX-XXVII, and Section 12.13 hereof, shall survive and remain in effect (in accordance with the respective terms of such Articles and Section) following any termination or expiration of this Agreement.
​
ARTICLE XXIV.
SURVIVAL OF WARRANTIES.
The respective representations and warranties of the Company shall survive for a period of one year following each Closing, except for the representations and warranties contained in Sections 5.01, 5.02, 5.03, 5.04, 5.07(1), 5.08(1) and 5.14 (collectively, the “Fundamental Representations”) which, together with the representations and warranties of the Key Holders and Purchaser, shall survive for the applicable statute of limitations.  The respective covenants of the Company, the Key Holders and the Purchaser shall survive each Closing and the termination or expiration of this Agreement in accordance with their terms.
ARTICLE XXV.
INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY
Section 25.01  Subject to the applicable limitations set forth in this Article XXV, at all times from and after the date hereof, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, reductions in value, claims, fees, penalties, taxes, interest, costs and expenses, including reasonable costs of investigation and defense and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, experts and other professionals, directly or
​

33

​
indirectly, whether or not due to a third-party claim, (collectively, “Indemnifiable Damages”) incurred by Purchaser in connection with or arising from:
(a)        any claims by third-parties arising out of, resulting from or in connection with the Purchaser’s status as a stockholder of the Company, including those based on assertions that the Company, its subsidiaries or any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents have, directly or indirectly, made, offered, promised or authorized any payment or gift of any money or anything of value to or for the benefit of any “foreign official” (as such term is defined in the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended (the “FCPA”)), foreign political party or official thereof or candidate for foreign political office for the purpose of (1) influencing any official act or decision of such official, party or candidate, (2) inducing such official, party or candidate to use his, her or its influence to affect any act or decision of a foreign governmental authority, or (3) securing any improper advantage, in the case of (1), (2) and (3) above in order to assist the Company or any of its affiliates in obtaining or retaining business for or with, or directing business to, any person;
(b)        any claim for breach of the Fundamental Representations and/or the representations and warranties set forth in Article VII.
(c)        any claims by any then-current or former holder of any capital stock of the Company (including any predecessors and successors), arising out of, resulting from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Stock Purchase Agreement, including the acquisition of the Initial Shares or any Subsequent Shares and the Company’s acting as paying agent in connection therewith; or
(d)        any failure by the Company or a Selling Stockholder to comply with applicable laws (including, without limitation, securities laws) or agreements with respect to (i) the making of the Initial Offer and any Subsequent Offer hereunder, (ii) the purchase by the Company of any Tendered Shares or any Subsequent Tendered Shares, or (iii) the sale by the Company of the Initial Shares or Subsequent Shares to the Purchaser.
Section 25.02   Notice of Claims. Purchaser seeking indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give to the Company (the “Indemnitor”) a notice (an “Indemnification Claim Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the then known facts giving rise to the claim for indemnification hereunder and shall include in such Indemnification Claim Notice (if then known) the amount or the method of computation of the amount of such claim, and a reference to the provision of this Agreement or any other agreement, document or instrument executed hereunder or in connection herewith upon which such claim is based.
Section 25.03  Resolution of Indemnifiable Claims. After the giving of any Indemnification Claim Notice pursuant to Section 25.02, the amount of indemnification to which an Indemnified Party shall be entitled under this Article XXV shall be determined: (a) by the written agreement between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor; (b) by a final judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction; or (c) by any other means to which the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor shall agree. The judgment or decree of a court shall be deemed final when the time for appeal, if any, shall have expired and no appeal shall have been
​

34

​
taken or when all appeals taken shall have been finally determined. The Indemnified Party shall have the burden of proof in establishing the amount of Indemnifiable Damages suffered by it.
Section 25.04  Determination of Indemnification Amount.
(a)        In no event shall Purchaser be entitled to recover or make a claim for any amounts in respect of consequential, special, incidental, opportunity cost or indirect damages or punitive damages, except, in each case, to the extent any such damages (i) are actually paid or payable to third-parties, or (ii) other than in the case of punitive damages, are a natural, probable and reasonably foreseeable result of a breach of this Agreement (or inaccuracy or untruth of representation or warranty) by the Company.
ARTICLE XXVI.
SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE
The Company and Purchaser acknowledge that the rights of each party to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby are unique and recognize and affirm that in the event of a breach of this Agreement by any party, money damages may be inadequate and the non-breaching party may have no adequate remedy at law.

Execution Version
AMENDMENT NO. 1
TO
BENTLEY SYSTEMS, INCORPORATED
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) to the Bentley Systems, Incorporated Common Stock Purchase Agreement dated September 23, 2016 (the “SPA”), is entered into as of October ___, 2016 (the “Effective Date”), by and among Bentley Systems, Incorporated, a Delaware Corporation (the “Company”), Siemens AG, a stock corporation (Aktiengesellschaft) (the “Purchaser”), and the “Key Holders” signatory to the SPA. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the SPA.
WHEREAS, the Company, the Purchaser and the Key Holders (collectively, the “Parties”) entered into the SPA on September 23, 2016, pursuant to which, among other things, the Parties agreed that Purchaser will purchase Class B Common Stock of the Company in a series of acquisitions up to a Maximum Amount, all as set forth in the SPA; and
WHEREAS, the Parties determined to execute this Amendment to the SPA in order to increase the Maximum Amount and to reflect certain other agreements.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises hereinafter contained, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
1)         Amendment to the definition of “Maximum Amount”.  The fifth paragraph of Article I of the SPA is hereby amended and restated in its entirety and replaced with the following:
 “For the purposes of this Agreement, “Maximum Amount” means $200,000,000 upon the execution of this Agreement; provided that upon the earlier to occur of (i) the fifth anniversary of this Agreement, and (ii) the acquisition by the Purchaser of $200,000,000 worth of shares of Class B Common Stock (as measured by the actual cash paid by the Purchaser hereunder), the “Maximum Amount” shall be automatically increased by $20,000,000 on each subsequent anniversary of the Agreement following such earlier occurrence, in each case, so long as the Strategic Collaboration Agreement remains in effect on each such subsequent anniversary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Maximum Amount shall exclude any purchases by the Purchaser pursuant to Article XII.”
2)         Amendment to Article XV.
(a)  The heading of Article XV of the SPA is hereby revised to read as follows:
​

​

“ARTICLE XV REGISTRATION AND OTHER RIGHTS RELATING TO IPO”
(b)  Section 15.04 of the SPA is hereby amended and restated in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“15.04. “Registration Rights Agreement. The foregoing registration rights will be set forth in a registration rights agreement consistent with the provisions of this Article XV (a “Registration Rights Agreement”) reasonably acceptable to Purchaser that contains the foregoing provisions and other customary terms and conditions, including customary indemnification provisions.  The Company and the Purchaser will execute and deliver the Registration Rights Agreement no later than one hundred and twenty (120) days following the execution of this Agreement.  In the event of any conflict between the registration rights granted in this Article XV and the Registration Rights Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, upon its execution and delivery by each party thereto, shall prevail.”
(c)  Section 15.06 of the SPA is hereby amended and restated in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“15.06. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that upon an IPO: (i) the Class B Common Stock (or any successor class of stock into which it is converted or recapitalized on a one-for-one basis (or on a basis equal to that on which any other class of securities is converted or recapitalized, if greater than one-for-one) in connection with the IPO) will have voting rights and will be the class of securities offered to the public in such IPO (each of the foregoing being, the “Offered Class”); and (ii) the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and any other related documentation shall be amended to reflect the voting rights reflected in the voting structure contemplated by the draft S-1 attached hereto as Exhibit D (which voting rights shall apply to the Offered Class), including without limitation as such structure relates to voting ratios, “sunset” provisions and the like, and the Company shall not deviate from such structure in any manner adverse to the Purchaser in any material respect in its capacity as a holder of the Offered Class without the Purchaser’s prior written consent, which may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.”
3)         Amendment to Exhibits.  A new Exhibit D is hereby added to the SPA in the form of Exhibit D attached to this Amendment.
4)         Continuing Effect of Agreement.  Except as expressly set forth in this Amendment, all other provisions of the SPA remain unchanged and in full force and effect.
5)         Miscellaneous. The provisions of Articles XX to XXIII, XXVI and XXVII of the SPA shall apply to this Amendment, as they apply to the SPA, mutatis mutandis.

AMENDMENT NO. 2
TO
BENTLEY SYSTEMS, INCORPORATED
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This amendment No. 2 (this “Amendment”) to the Bentley Systems, Incorporated Common Stock Purchase Agreement dated September 23, 2016, as amended (the “SPA”), is entered into as of April __, 2018 (the “Effective Date”), by and among Bentley Systems, Incorporated, a Delaware Corporation (the “Company”), Siemens AG, a stock corporation (Aktiengesellschaft) (the “Purchaser”), and the “Key Holders” signatory to the SPA.  Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the SPA.
​
WHEREAS, the Company, the Purchaser and the Key Holders (collectively, the “Parties”) entered into the SPA on September 23, 2016, pursuant to which, among other things, the Parties agreed that Purchaser will purchase certain Class B Common Stock of the Company in a series of acquisitions, all as set forth in the SPA; and
WHEREAS, the Parties determined to execute this Amendment to the SPA in order to increase the Maximum Amount, to modify certain provisions relating to the sale and purchase of Subsequent Shares and to extend the term of the SPA.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises hereinafter contained, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
1)         Amendment to the definition of “Maximum Amount”.  The fifth paragraph of Article I of the SPA is hereby amended and restated in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“For the purposes of this Agreement, “Maximum Amount” means $250,000,000 upon the execution of this Agreement; provided that upon the earlier to occur of (i) the fifth anniversary of this Agreement, and (ii) the acquisition by the Purchaser of $250,000,000 worth of shares of Class B Common Stock (as measured by the actual cash paid by the Purchaser hereunder), the “Maximum Amount” shall be automatically increased by $20,000,000 on each subsequent anniversary of the Agreement following such earlier occurrence, in each case, so long as the Strategic Collaboration Agreement remains in effect on each such subsequent anniversary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Maximum Amount shall exclude any purchases by the Purchaser pursuant to Article XII.”
2)         Amendment and Restatement of Section 2.02(d) of the SPA.  Section 2.02(d) is hereby amended and restated in its entirety and replaced with the following:
​
​

​

(d)
(i) Promptly following each Subsequent Expiration Date with respect to a Subsequent Offer, the Company shall provide a written report (a “Subsequent Purchase Report”) to the Purchaser setting forth, subject to subsection (ii), below, (A) the total number of shares of Class B Common Stock to be sold to Purchaser by the Company and pursuant to any Direct Sales at the applicable Additional Closing (as defined below) (collectively, the “Subsequent Shares”), (B) the number of shares of Class B Common Stock that were first issued by the Company (or as to shares of Restricted Stock, that first vested) during the period beginning on the date the last Subsequent Purchase Report was delivered hereunder and ending on the applicable Subsequent Expiration Date (such number of shares of Class B Common Stock, the “Cap Amount”) and (C) the Carryforward (as defined below), if any.
(ii) Subject to the provisions of this subsection (ii), the Subsequent Shares shall include and consist of all of the following amounts of shares of Class B Common Stock and the Subsequent Purchase Report shall include a summary thereof (including the names of the record and beneficial owners thereof): (a) the number of Tendered Shares with respect to such Subsequent Offer (the “Subsequent Tendered Shares”); (b) the number of Direct Shares offered for sale by the Selling Stockholders with respect to such Subsequent Offer in accordance with Section 2.03 hereof, if any (as to which the Company shall waive any applicable transfer restrictions); and (c) the number of shares of Class B Common Stock actually purchased by the Company from employee stockholders pursuant to the Company’s Equity Incentive Plans during the period beginning on the date the last Subsequent Purchase Report was delivered hereunder (or, in the case of the Initial Offer, the Purchase Report) and ending on the applicable Subsequent Expiration Date (the “Subsequent Additional Shares”); provided that, at its option and by notice to the Purchaser in any Subsequent Purchase Report, the Company may elect to reduce the number of Subsequent Shares to be sold to the Purchaser at the applicable Additional Closing (such reduction, the “Offset”) by no more than the lesser of (x) thirty-five percent (35%) of the Subsequent Shares included in such Subsequent Purchase Report and (y) the Cap Amount.  The number of shares elected by the Company to be included in the Offset shall be indicated in the applicable Subsequent Purchase Report.  To the extent the Cap Amount exceeds the Offset in a given Subsequent Purchase Report, such excess (the “Carryforward”) shall be carried forward and added to (and considered part of) the Cap Amount applicable to only the immediately succeeding Subsequent Purchase Report; it being understood and agreed that a Carryforward calculated in such immediately succeeding Subsequent Purchase Report shall not be further carried forward beyond such report and that future Subsequent Purchase Reports will calculate the applicable Carryforward de novo in accordance with this sentence.
(iii) The Company’s delivery of a Subsequent Purchase Report shall create a binding obligation hereunder with respect to the applicable Subsequent Shares (x) on the Company to sell the Subsequent Tendered Shares and the Subsequent Additional Shares to the Purchaser at the applicable Additional Closing and (y) on the Purchaser to purchase such Subsequent Shares from the Company at such Additional Closing and to accept the offer by each Selling Stockholder to purchase the Direct Shares on and subject
​

​

to the terms of this Agreement and each applicable Stock Purchase Agreement, at the applicable Additional Closing:
3)         Amendment to Article XXIII of the SPA.  The first sentence of Article XXIII of the SPA is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
The obligations of the Parties pursuant to Article II shall remain in effect until December 31, 2030 or until such time as the Purchaser purchases the Maximum Amount (it being understood and agreed that any future automatic increase to the then applicable Maximum Amount (whether or not such increase has occurred) shall be given effect as if it has occurred when determining the Maximum Amount for this purpose), whichever occurs first, unless otherwise terminated by mutual written agreement of the Purchaser and the Company.
4)         Continuing Effect of Agreement.  Except as expressly set forth in this Amendment, all other provisions of the SPA remain unchanged and in full force and effect.
5)         Miscellaneous. The provisions of Articles XX to XXIII, XXVI and XXVII of the SPA shall apply to this Amendment, as they apply to the SPA, mutatis mutandis.

Subject to the last sentence of Section 2(d), the Company shall not be required to effect a Short-Form Registration more than twice during any twelve-month period; provided, that a Registration Statement shall not count as a Short-Form Registration requested under this Section 2(b) unless and until it has become effective under the Securities Act and, subject to the proviso in Section 2(f), the Investor is permitted to register all of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration and consummates the sale of any Registrable Securities thereunder.
(c)Beginning eighteen (18) months following the consummation of the Company’s IPO, if the Company shall have qualified for the use of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 or the then appropriate form for an offering to be made on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto (a “Shelf Registration Statement”), the Investor shall have the right to request an unlimited number of registrations under the Securities Act of all or any portion of its Registrable Securities for an offering on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto (each, a “Shelf Registration” and, together with any Long-Form Registration and Short-Form Registration, a “Demand Registration”). Each request for a Shelf Registration shall specify the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in the Shelf Registration. The Company shall prepare and file with the Commission a Shelf Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities that the Investor shall have requested to be included in such Shelf Registration within sixty (60) days after the date on which the initial request is given and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission within one-hundred fifty (150) days after the date on which the initial request is given.  Subject to the last sentence of Section 2(d), the Company shall not be required to effect a Shelf Registration more than twice during any twelve-month period; provided, that a Registration Statement shall not count as a Shelf Registration requested under this Section 2(c) unless and until it has become effective under the Securities Act and, subject to the proviso in Section 2(f), the Investor is permitted to register all of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration and consummates the sale of any Registrable Securities thereunder.
(d)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated to file a Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or otherwise effect a Demand Registration within one-hundred twenty (120) days after the effective date of a Registration Statement pursuant to which the Investor was permitted to register the offer and sale under the Securities Act, and consummated the sale of any Registrable Securities thereunder.  In addition, the Company shall not be obligated to file a Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or otherwise effect a Demand Registration for a period of up to one-hundred fifty (150) days if the Board determines in its reasonable good faith judgment that the filing of such Registration Statement or the effectuation of such Demand Registration would (i) materially interfere with an acquisition, corporate organization, financing, securities offering or other

similar transaction involving the Company; (ii) require premature disclosure of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential; or (iii) render the Company unable to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or Exchange Act (any such period, a “Blackout Period”); provided, however, that in no event shall the number of days in any Blackout Period, plus the number of days in any Suspension Period (as defined in Section 5(g)), exceed an aggregate of one-hundred eighty (180) days during any twelve-month period.  In the event of a Blackout Period, the Investor shall be entitled to withdraw its request for Demand Registration and, if such request for a Demand Registration is withdrawn, such Demand Registration shall not count as one of the permitted Demand Registrations hereunder and the Company shall pay all registration expenses in connection with such registration.
(e)If the Investor elects to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by its request for Demand Registration in an underwritten offering, it shall so advise the Company as a part of its request made pursuant to Section 2(a), Section 2(b) or Section 2(c). The Investor shall select the investment banking firm or firms to act as the managing underwriter or underwriters in connection with such offering; provided, that such selection shall be subject to the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(f)If a Demand Registration involves an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter of the requested Demand Registration advises the Company and the Investor in writing that in its reasonable and good faith opinion the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in the Registration Statement, including all Registrable Securities and all other shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such underwritten offering, exceeds the number of shares of Common Stock that can be sold in such underwritten offering and/or the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such Demand Registration would adversely affect the price per share of the Common Stock proposed to be sold in such underwritten offering or would otherwise materially and adversely affect the timing or distribution of the Common Stock proposed to be sold in such offering, the Company shall include in such Registration Statement (i) first, all of the shares of Common Stock that the Investor proposes to sell, and (ii) second, the shares of Common Stock proposed to be included therein by any other Persons (including shares of Common Stock to be sold for the account of the Company and/or other holders of Common Stock) allocated among such Persons in such manner as they may agree; provided, that if more than 20% of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by the Investor are excluded pursuant to the terms of this Section 2(f), the offering shall not be deemed to be a Demand Registration for purposes of this Section 2.
(g)The Company shall not be obligated to take any action to effect any Demand Registration if the aggregate value of the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by the Investor is not at least fifty million dollars ($50 million) (calculated as of the close of trading on the date the Investor requests such Demand Registration), unless all of the Investor’s Registrable Securities are proposed to be sold.

The Company may postpone or withdraw proceeding with a Piggyback Registration at any time in its sole discretion if it shall at the same time withdraw or cease proceeding with the registration of all other equity securities originally proposed to be registered. A Piggyback Registration shall not be considered a Demand Registration for purposes of Section 2.
(b)If a Piggyback Registration is initiated as an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter advises the Company and the Investor (if the Investor has elected to include Registrable Securities in such Piggyback Registration) in writing that in its reasonable and good faith opinion the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such registration or takedown, including all Registrable Securities and all other shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such underwritten offering, exceeds the number of shares of Common Stock that can be sold in such underwritten offering and/or the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such registration or takedown would materially and adversely affect the price per share of the Common Stock proposed to be sold in such offering or would otherwise materially and adversely affect the timing or distribution of the Common Stock proposed to be sold in such offering, the Company shall include in such registration or takedown the shares of Common Stock requested to be included therein by the Company and by holders of Common Stock (including the Investor), allocated on a pro rata basis; provided that in the case of a Piggyback Registration initiated on behalf of the Company as a primary offering, the Company shall include in such registration or takedown (i) first, the shares of Common Stock that the Company proposes to sell; (ii) second, the shares of Common Stock requested to be included therein by the Investor; and (iii) third, the shares of Common Stock requested to be included therein by holders of Common Stock other than the Investor, allocated among such holders in such manner as they may agree.

The foregoing provisions shall be applicable to the Investor only to the extent all executive officers and directors of the Company are subject to substantially the same restrictions.

(a)The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Investor, each Controlling Person of the Investor, and the Investor’s and each such Controlling Person’s officers, directors, managers, members, partners, stockholders, employees, agents and Affiliates, and each underwriter, broker or any other Person acting on behalf of the Investor, against all losses, claims, actions, damages, liabilities and expenses, joint or several, to which any of the foregoing Persons may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, actions, damages, liabilities or expenses arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus, free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto) or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, including all documents incorporated therein by reference, or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus or free writing prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading; and shall reimburse such Persons for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, action, damage or liability, except insofar as the same are caused by, or such untrue statement or omission is contained in, any information furnished in writing to the Company by the Investor expressly for use in such Registration Statement, Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus, free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto) or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, as applicable (the “Investor Information”). This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability the Company may otherwise have under this Agreement.
​

Execution Version

(b)In connection with any registration in which the Investor is participating, the Investor shall furnish to the Company in writing such customary information as the Company may reasonably request for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify and hold harmless, the Company, each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who shall sign such Registration Statement, each underwriter, broker or other Person acting on behalf of the holders of Registrable Securities and each Controlling Person who controls any of the foregoing Persons against any losses, claims, actions, damages, liabilities or expenses resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus, free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto) or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus or free writing prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, but only to the extent that any such loss, claim, action, damage or liability is caused by, or such untrue statement or omission is contained in, the Investor Information; provided, that the Investor’s obligation to indemnify shall not exceed in the aggregate an amount equal to the net proceeds (after underwriting fees, commissions or discounts) actually received by the Investor from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability the Investor may otherwise have under this Agreement.
(c)Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action involving a claim referred to in this Section 7, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to the latter of the commencement of such action. The failure of any indemnified party to notify an indemnifying party of any such action shall not (unless the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by such failure) relieve the indemnifying party from any liability in respect of such action that it may have to such indemnified party hereunder. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense of the claims in any such action that are subject or potentially subject to indemnification hereunder, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified to the extent that it may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after written notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be responsible for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such person unless (A) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees or expenses or (B) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim.  If (i) any indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be one or more legal or equitable defenses available to such indemnified party that are additional to or conflict with those available to the indemnifying party, or that such claim or litigation involves or could have an effect upon matters beyond the scope of the indemnity
​

13

Execution Version

provided hereunder, or (ii) such action seeks an injunction or equitable relief against any indemnified party or involves actual or alleged criminal activity, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party without such indemnified party’s prior written consent (but, without such consent, shall have the right to participate therein with counsel of its choice) and such indemnifying party shall reimburse such indemnified party and any Controlling Person of such indemnified party for that portion of the fees and expenses of any counsel retained by the indemnified party that is reasonably related to the matters covered by the indemnity provided hereunder. If the indemnifying party is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim, it shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim (in addition to local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction), unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim.  If such defense is assumed by the indemnifying party pursuant to the provisions thereof, such indemnifying party shall not settle or otherwise compromise the applicable claim unless (i) such settlement or compromise contains a full and unconditional release of the indemnified party or (ii) the indemnified party otherwise consents in writing (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
(d)If the indemnification provided for hereunder is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amounts paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, that the maximum aggregate amount of liability in respect of such contribution shall be limited, in the case of the Investor, to an amount equal to the net proceeds (after underwriting fees, commissions or discounts) actually received by the Investor from the sale of Registrable Securities effected pursuant to such registration. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of losses referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph shall be deemed to include any legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any loss that is the subject of this paragraph.  The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant hereto were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method or allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to herein. No Person guilty or liable of fraudulent
​

14

Execution Version

misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
8.Participation in Underwritten Registrations. No Person may participate in any registration hereunder that is underwritten unless such Person (a) agrees to sell such Person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Person or Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents, each in customary form, reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.
9.Rule 144 Compliance. With a view to making available to the holders of Registrable Securities the benefits of Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any time permit a holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration, the Company shall:
(a)make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, at all times after the Registration Date;
(b)use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, at any time after the Registration Date; and
(c)furnish to the Investor so long as the Investor owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 and of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents so filed or furnished by the Company as such holder may reasonably request in connection with the sale of Registrable Securities without registration.
10.Preservation of Rights. The Company shall not (a) grant any registration rights to third parties that are inconsistent with the rights granted hereunder, or (b) enter into any agreement, take any action, or permit any change to occur, with respect to its securities that violates the rights expressly granted to the Investor in this Agreement.
11.Termination. This Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect when there shall no longer be any Registrable Securities outstanding; provided, that the provisions of Section 6 and Section 7 shall survive any such termination.
12.Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon the earlier of actual receipt, or (a) personal delivery to the party to be notified, (b) when sent, if sent by electronic mail or facsimile during normal business hours of the recipient, and if not sent during normal business hours, then on the recipient’s next business day, (c) five days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (d) one business day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight

15.No Third-Party Beneficiaries.

Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, no failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right,
​

16

remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.
18.Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

The Company acknowledges that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Agreement, and the Company hereby agrees to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
20.Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware.
