The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.
(d) To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 9(a) or 9(b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party or parties on the other hand from the offering of the Shares or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 9(d)(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause 9(d)(i) above but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and of the indemnified party or parties on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the
24
offering of the Shares shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of the Shares (before deducting expenses but after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions) received by the Company and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate Public Offering Price of the Shares. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand 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 Company or by the Underwriters and the parties relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Underwriters respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 9 are several in proportion to the respective number of Shares they have purchased hereunder, and not joint.
(e) The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 9(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 9(d) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Shares underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent 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. The remedies provided for in this Section 9 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.
(f) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 9 and the representations, warranties and other statements of the Company contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i)any termination of this Agreement, (ii)any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, any person controlling any Underwriter or any affiliate of any Underwriter or by or on behalf of the Company, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company and (iii)acceptance of and payment for any of the Shares.
10. Termination. The Underwriters may terminate this Agreement by notice given by you to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on, or by, as the case may be, any of the NYSE or the NASDAQ Stock Market, (ii) trading of any securities of the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, (iii) a material disruption in securities settlement,
25
payment or clearance services in the United States shall have occurred, (iv) any moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by Federal or New York State authorities or (v) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis that, in your judgment, is material and adverse and which, singly or together with any other event specified in this clause (v), makes it, in your judgment, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus.
11. Effectiveness; Defaulting Underwriters. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.
If, on the Closing Date or an Option Closing Date, as the case may be, any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Shares that it has or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate number of Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of the Shares to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the number of Firm Shares set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule I bears to the aggregate number of Firm Shares set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as you may specify, to purchase the Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date; provided that in no event shall the number of Shares that any Underwriter has agreed to purchase pursuant to this Agreement be increased pursuant to this Section 11 by an amount in excess of one-ninth of such number of Shares without the written consent of such Underwriter. If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Firm Shares and the aggregate number of Firm Shares with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of Firm Shares to be purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to you and the Company for the purchase of such Firm Shares are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company. In any such case either you or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement, in the Time of Sale Prospectus, in the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. If, on an Option Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Additional Shares and the aggregate number of Additional Shares with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of Additional Shares to be purchased on such Option Closing Date, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall have the option to (i) terminate their obligation hereunder to purchase the Additional Shares to be sold on such Option Closing Date or (ii) purchase not less than the number of Additional Shares that such non-defaulting Underwriters would have been obligated to purchase in the absence of such default. Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.
26
If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters, or any of them, because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Company shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters or such Underwriters as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably incurred by such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder.
12. Entire Agreement. (a) This Agreement, together with any contemporaneous written agreements and any prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement) that relate to the offering of the Shares, represents the entire agreement between the Company and the Underwriters with respect to the preparation of any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus, the conduct of the offering, and the purchase and sale of the Shares.
(b) The Company acknowledges that in connection with the offering of the Shares: (i) the Underwriters have acted at arms length, are not agents of, and owe no fiduciary duties to, the Company or any other person, (ii) the Underwriters owe the Company only those duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement and prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement), if any, and (iii) the Underwriters may have interests that differ from those of the Company. The Company waives to the full extent permitted by applicable law any claims it may have against the Underwriters arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the offering of the Shares.
13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.
14. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York.
15. Headings. The headings of the sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned understands that Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (Morgan Stanley) proposes to enter into an Underwriting Agreement (the Underwriting Agreement) with Imperva, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company) providing for the public offering (the Public Offering) by the several Underwriters, including Morgan Stanley, (the Underwriters), of shares (the Shares) of the common stock , $0.0001 par value per share of the Company (the Common Stock).
To induce the Underwriters that may participate in the Public Offering to continue their efforts in connection with the Public Offering, the undersigned hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of Morgan Stanley on behalf of the Underwriters, the undersigned will not, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending 75 days after the date of the final prospectus (the Restricted Period) relating to the Public Offering (the Prospectus), (1) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock beneficially owned (as such term is used in Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)), by the undersigned or any other securities so owned convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or (2) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise.
The restrictions described in the foregoing sentence shall not apply to (a) transfers of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into Common Stock as a bona fide gift or gifts, by will, other testamentary document or intestacy, provided that the donee or donees thereof agree to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein, and provided further that any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, (b) transfers of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into Common Stock to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family (as
defined below) of the undersigned, or if the undersigned is a trust, to any beneficiary (including such beneficiarys estate) of the undersigned, provided that the trustee of the trust or such beneficiary agrees to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein, and provided further that any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, (c) dispositions of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into Common Stock to a spouse, former spouse, child or other dependent pursuant to a domestic relations order or settlement agreement, provided that such transferee agrees to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein, (d) distributions of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into Common Stock to limited partners, members, stockholders or affiliates (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act)) of the undersigned, provided that such transferee agrees to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein, and provided further that any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, (e) the establishment of a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act (a 10b5-1 Plan), for the transfer of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into Common Stock, provided that the 10b5-1 Plan does not provide for the sale or transfer of Common Stock during the Restricted Period, (f) transactions relating to shares of Common Stock or other securities acquired in open market transactions after the completion of the Public Offering, (g) forfeitures or sales of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into Common Stock to the Company to satisfy tax withholding obligations of the undersigned in connection with the vesting, settlement or exercise of equity awards granted pursuant to an employee benefit plan in existence prior to the date of the Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed with respect to the Public Offering (the Registration Statement), provided that such employee benefit plan and the number of shares of Common Stock available for distribution under such employee benefit plan are described in, or incorporated by reference into, the Registration Statement and the final prospectus used to sell the Shares (the final prospectus), (h) transfers of shares of Common Stock pursuant to a 10b5-1 Plan in existence as of the date hereof, provided that any public announcement or filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act regarding such sale or transfer state that such transfers are made pursuant to a 10b5-1 Plan, (i) the modification, amendment or termination of a 10b5-1 Plan in accordance with the terms of the 10b5-1 Plan and the Companys internal policies, provided that no transfers of shares shall be made pursuant to such amended or modified plan during the Restricted Period, (j) pursuant to a net exercise or cashless exercise of equity awards granted pursuant to an employee benefit plan in existence prior to the date of the Registration Statement, including any forfeitures or sales of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into Common Stock to the Company in connection with such exercise pursuant to clause (g) above, provided that any shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to such exercise shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in this agreement, (k) forfeitures of shares of Common Stock that have been disclosed as beneficially owned by the undersigned (if any) pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act to the Company to satisfy escrow obligations of the undersigned in connection with the Share Exchange Agreement entered into as of February 6, 2014, by and among the Company, SkyFence Networks, Ltd. and the sellers listed therein, (l) sales of shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of satisfying the undersigneds tax obligations that are in excess of the obligations described in clause (g) or (m) with the prior written consent of Morgan Stanley on behalf of the Underwriters. In addition, except for clause (h) above,
A - 2
it shall be a condition to any such sale or transfer, that no public announcement or filing under the Exchange Act regarding such sale or transfer is made or required to be made during the Restricted Period, unless such disclosure is made pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act in connection with a transaction reported pursuant to clauses (f) through (m) above. If disclosure is made pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act in connection with a transaction reported pursuant to clauses (g), (j), (k), (l) or (m) above, such disclosure shall contain a footnote describing the specific purpose of the sale or transfer. For purposes of this agreement, immediate family shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin. The undersigned now has, and, except as contemplated by clauses (a),(b),(c),(d), (f), (g), (h), (j), (k), (l) and (m) above, for the duration of this letter will have, good and marketable title to the undersigneds shares of Common Stock that are outstanding, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, and claims whatsoever. The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Companys transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the undersigneds shares of Common Stock except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.
If:
(1) during the last 17 days of the Restricted Period the Company issues an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs; or
(2) prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the Restricted Period;
the restrictions imposed by this agreement shall continue to apply until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or material event; provided that if the Underwriters are eligible to publish or distribute research reports pursuant to Rule 139 of the Securities Act and the Company has actively traded securities as defined in Regulation M of the Exchange Act, the foregoing extension shall not apply. The undersigned hereby acknowledges that the Company has agreed in the Underwriting Agreement to provide written notice of any event that would result in an extension of the initial Restricted Period and agrees that any such notice properly delivered will be deemed to have been given to, and received by, the undersigned.
The undersigned shall not engage in any transaction that may be restricted by this agreement during the 34-day period beginning on the last day of the initial Restricted Period unless the undersigned requests and receives prior written confirmation from the Company or Morgan Stanley that the restrictions imposed by this agreement have expired.
The undersigned understands that the Company and the Underwriters are relying upon this agreement in proceeding toward consummation of the Public Offering. The undersigned further understands that this agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigneds heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns. This
A - 3
agreement shall automatically terminate upon the earliest to occur, if any, of (a) the date that Morgan Stanley, on the one hand, or the Company, on the other hand, advises the other in writing, that it has determined not to proceed with the Public Offering (provided that such written notice is received prior to the execution of the Underwriting Agreement), (b) the date of termination of the Underwriting Agreement (other than provisions thereof that survive termination) prior to payment for and delivery of the Common Stock to be sold thereunder, or (c) April 30, 2015, in the event that the Underwriting Agreement has not been executed by such date.
Whether or not the Public Offering actually occurs depends on a number of factors, including market conditions. Any Public Offering will only be made pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, the terms of which are subject to negotiation between the Company and the Underwriters.
The undersigned hereby waives any and all notice requirements and rights with respect to the registration of securities pursuant to any agreement, understanding or anything otherwise setting forth the terms of any security of the Company held by the undersigned, including any registration rights agreement to which the undersigned and the Company may be party; provided, however, that such waiver shall apply only to the proposed Public Offering, and any other action taken by the Company in connection with the proposed Public Offering. Further, the undersigned hereby agrees that, to the extent that the terms of this letter conflict with or are in any way inconsistent with any registration rights agreement to which the undersigned and the Company may be a party, this letter supersedes such registration rights agreement.
Very truly yours, |
