INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT

THIS INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of March 4, 2002, by and among Overstock.com, Inc., a Utah corporation (the “Company”), the persons and entities listed on the Schedule of Investors attached hereto as Schedule I (each, an “Investor” and collectively, the “Investors”), those holders of the Company’s Common Stock listed on Schedule II (each, a “Common Holder” and collectively, the “Common Holders”), and, for purposes of Sections 1 and 4 only, Eileen Simmons.

Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms have the meanings set forth in Section 4.1 hereof.

WHEREAS: The Investors are parties to the Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement of even date herewith, between the Company and the Investors (the “Purchase Agreement”), certain of the Company’s and the Investors’ obligations under which are conditioned upon the execution and delivery by such Investors, the Common Holders and the Company of this Agreement; and

WHEREAS: Eileen Simmons is party to a certain agreement dated as of October 27, 1999, by and among the Company, Robert Brazell and the Prior Purchaser (the “Simmons Agreement”);

WHEREAS: Pursuant to the Simmons Agreement, Eileen Simmons is entitled to certain rights of registration with respect to her shares of Common Stock of the Company;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants set forth herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1 Restrictions on Transferability of Securities; Registration Rights

1.1 Transfer Restrictions.

(a) Each Holder agrees not to sell, assign, transfer, pledge or make any other disposition of all or any portion of the Registrable Securities held by the Holder unless and until the transferee has agreed in writing for the benefit of the Company to be bound by Section 1.12 hereof, to be bound by this Section 1.1, provided and to the extent such Section 1.1 is then applicable, and

(i) There is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement; or

(ii) Such Holder shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and, if reasonably requested by the Company, such Holder

shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such disposition will not require registration of such shares under the Securities Act and applicable state law. The Company agrees that it will not require opinions of counsel for transactions made pursuant to Rule 144 except in unusual circumstances.

(iii) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (i) and (ii) above, no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be necessary for and the Company shall promptly facilitate any transfer by a Holder to any partnership, limited liability company, corporation or other entity that is directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Holder or which is (A) a partnership to its partners or retired partners in accordance with partnership interests, (B) a corporation to its shareholders in accordance with their interest in the corporation, (C) a limited liability company to its members or former members in accordance with their interest in the limited liability company, or (D) to the Holder’s family member or trust for the benefit of an individual Holder, provided that the transferee will be subject to the terms of this Section 1.1 to the same extent as if such transferee were an original Holder hereunder. Each Holder will cause any proposed purchaser, assignee, transferee, or pledgee of Registrable Securities held by the Holder to agree in writing to take and hold such securities subject to the provisions and on conditions specified in this Agreement.

(b) Each certificate representing Registrable Securities shall (unless otherwise permitted by the provisions of this Agreement) be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially similar to the following (in addition to any legend required under applicable state securities laws):

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM UNDER SAID ACT AND APPLICABLE LAWS.

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN AN INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT TO WHICH THE ORIGINAL HOLDER OF THESE SHARES WAS PARTY, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE COMPANY. SUCH RESTRICTIONS ARE BINDING ON TRANSFEREES OF THESE SHARES.

Each Holder consents to the Company making a notation on its records and giving instructions to any transfer agent to implement the restrictions on transfer established in this Agreement.

(c) The Company shall be obligated to reissue unlegended certificates at the request of any Holder thereof if the Holder shall have (i) obtained an opinion of counsel at such Holder’s expense (which counsel may be counsel to the Company) reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that the securities proposed to be disposed of may lawfully be so disposed of without

registration, qualification or legend, and (ii) delivered such securities to the Company or its transfer agent.

(d) Any legend endorsed on an instrument pursuant to applicable state securities laws and the stop-transfer instructions with respect to such securities shall be removed upon receipt by the Company of an order of the appropriate state securities authority authorizing such removal.

1.2 Requested Registration.

(a) Request for Registration. If the Company shall receive from Initiating Holders, at any time or times not earlier than the earlier of (i) March 4, 2005, and (ii) 180 days after the closing of the Qualified Public Offering, a written request that the Company effect any registration with respect to at least 20% of the Registrable Securities (or such lesser number of shares as shall yield an aggregate offering price of not less than $5,000,000), the Company will (A) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration to all other Holders, and (B) as soon as practicable, use its reasonable best efforts to effect such registration (including, without limitation, filing post-effective amendments, appropriate qualifications under applicable blue sky or other state securities laws, and appropriate compliance with the Securities Act) as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request received by the Company within 20 days after such written notice from the Company is mailed or delivered.

The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any such registration pursuant to this Section 1.2:

(A) In any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification, or compliance, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act;

(B) After the Company has initiated two (2) such registrations pursuant to this Section 1.2, excluding registrations that (i) are not declared or ordered effective, (ii) are not effective for a continuous period of at least one hundred twenty (120) days or such shorter period ending when all the Registrable Securities for which the Holders have requested registration in accordance herewith have been sold in accordance with such registration; provided, that a trading black-out shall not be deemed to interfere with the continuity of such period, (iii) are withdrawn by the Company or as a result of action or inaction of the Company or, subject to Section 1.4 below, for any other reason except for the voluntary decision of the Holders to terminate the registration after the request for such registration has been delivered to the Company, or (iv) are subject to an underwriting agreement in which less than fifty percent (50%) of the number of Registrable Securities requested to be sold by the Holders are included;

(C) During the period starting with the date 60 days prior to the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on a date 180 days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated registration subject to Section 1.3 below; provided that the

Company is actively employing in good faith all reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; or

(D) If the Initiating Holders propose to dispose of shares of Registrable Securities which may be immediately registered on Form S-3 pursuant to a request made under Section 1.5 below.

(b) Subject to the foregoing clauses (A) through (D), the Company shall file a registration statement covering the Registrable Securities so requested to be registered as soon as practicable after receipt of the request or requests of the Initiating Holders; provided, however, that if (i) in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, such registration would be seriously detrimental to the Company and the Board of Directors of the Company concludes, as a result, that it is in the best interests of the Company to defer the filing of such registration statement at such time, and (ii) the Company shall furnish to such Holders a certificate signed by the President of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company for such registration statement to be filed in the near future and that it is, therefore, in the best interests of the Company to defer the filing of such registration statement, then the Company shall have the right to defer such filing (except as provided in clause (C) above) for a period of not more than 90 days after receipt of the request of the Initiating Holders, and, provided further that the Company shall not defer its obligation in this manner more than once in any 12-month period; and, provided further that the Company shall not register any securities for the account of itself or any other shareholder during such 90-day period, other than a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans, a registration relating to the offer and sale of debt securities, a registration relating to a corporate reorganization or other transaction on Form S-4, or a registration contemplated in Section 1.2(a)(C).

The registration statement filed pursuant to the request of the Initiating Holders may, subject to the provisions of Section 1.2(d), include other securities of the Company, with respect to which registration rights have been granted, and may include securities of the Company being sold for the account of the Company.

(c) Underwriting. If the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as part of their request made pursuant to Section 1.2(a) and the Company shall include such information in the written notice referred to in Section 1.2(a). The right of any Holder to registration pursuant to Section 1.2 shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting (unless otherwise mutually agreed by a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders and such Holder with respect to such participation and inclusion) to the extent provided herein. A Holder may elect to include in such underwriting all or a part of the Registrable Securities such Holder holds.

(d) Procedures. If the Company shall request inclusion in any registration pursuant to Section 1.2 of securities being sold for its own account, or if other persons shall request inclusion in any registration pursuant to Section 1.2, the Initiating Holders shall, on behalf of all Holders, offer to include such securities in the underwriting and may condition such offer on their acceptance of the further applicable provisions of this Section 1 (including Section 1.12 below). The Company shall (together with all Holders and other persons proposing to distribute their securities through such

underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the representative of the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company, subject to the reasonable approval of a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders, which underwriter shall be a nationally recognized investment banking firm. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1.2, if the representative of the underwriters advises the Initiating Holders in writing that marketing factors require a limitation (the “Underwriter’s Limitation”) on the number of shares to be underwritten, the Initiating Holders shall so advise the Company and all Holders of Registrable Securities whose securities would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares of Registrable Securities and other securities that may be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated in the following manner: First, the securities of the Company and other third parties requesting inclusion in any such requested registration shall be excluded from such registration and underwriting to the extent required by such Underwriter’s Limitation. If, after fully excluding the securities of the Company from such underwriting and registration a further reduction in the number of shares to be included in such underwriting and registration is required, the number of shares that may be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated among all Holders of Registrable Securities in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities held by each Holder at the time of the filing of the registration statement. No Registrable Securities or any other securities excluded from the underwriting by reason of the Underwriter’s Limitation shall be included in such registration. If the Company or any Holder in its sole discretion disapproves of the terms of the underwriting, it may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the underwriter and the Initiating Holders. The securities so withdrawn shall also be withdrawn from registration.

1.3 Company Registration.

(a) If the Company shall determine to register any of its securities either for its own account or the account of a security holder or holders exercising their respective demand registration rights (other than pursuant to Section 1.2 or 1.5 hereof), other than (v) a registration related to its initial public offering, (w) a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans, (x) a registration relating to the offer and sale of debt securities, (y) or a registration relating to a corporate reorganization or other transaction on Form S-4, or (z) a registration on any registration form that does not permit secondary sales, the Company will:

(i) promptly give to each Holder written notice thereof; and

(ii) use its reasonable best efforts to include in such registration (and any related qualification under state securities laws or other compliance), except as set forth in Section 1.3(b) below, and in any underwriting involved therein, all the Registrable Securities specified in a written request or requests, made by any Holder and received by the Company within fifteen (15) days after the written notice from the Company described in clause (i) above is mailed or delivered by the Company. Such written request may specify all or a part of a Holder’s Registrable Securities.

(b) Underwriting. If the registration of which the Company gives notice is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall so advise the Holders as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 1.3(a)(i). In such event, the right of any Holder to registration pursuant to this Section 1.3 shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in

such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company and the other holders of securities of the Company with registration rights to participate therein distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the representative of the underwriter or underwriters selected by the Company.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1.3, if the underwriter or Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities advise the Company in writing that marketing factors require an Underwriter’s Limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten, the Company may (subject to the allocation priority set forth below) limit the number of Registrable Securities to be included in the registration and underwriting. In such event, the Company shall so advise all Holders requesting registration and the number of shares or securities that are entitled to be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated in the following manner: First, the number of Registrable Securities that shall be included in the registration and underwriting shall be reduced to the extent required by the Underwriter’s Limitation, with such reduction being allocated among Holders proposing to include Registrable Securities in such registration in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the number of shares of Registrable Securities held by each Holder; provided, however, that the number of Registrable Securities to be included in the registration shall not be reduced to less than 30% of the total number of shares included in such registration. If, after reducing the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such registration or underwriting to the full extent permitted in this section, a further reduction in the number of shares to be included in such underwriting and registration is required, then the number of securities of the Company that shall be included in such registration and underwriting shall be reduced to the extent required by the Underwriter’s Limitation. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter. Any Registrable Securities or other securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from such registration. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the underwriter(s) may round the number of shares allocated to any Holder to the nearest 100 shares.

(c) Right to Terminate Registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 1.3 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration.

1.4 Expenses of Registration. All Registration Expenses and reasonable fees of one counsel for the selling shareholders incurred in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to Sections 1.2 and 1.3 above and Section 1.5 below shall be borne by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not bear expenses of the selling shareholders in excess of $25,000 per registration; provided, further, that that the Company shall not be obligated to pay Registration Expenses and the fees of the one counsel for the selling shareholders for any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 1.5, if, in a given twelve-month period, the Company has effected two (2) such registrations in such period. All Selling Expenses relating to securities so registered shall be borne by the holders of such securities pro rata on the basis of the number of shares of securities so registered on their behalf, as shall any other expenses in connection with the registration required to be borne by the Holders of such securities. The Holders shall be required, however, to pay for expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 1.2

or 1.5, the request of which has been subsequently withdrawn by the Holders holding at least a majority of the Registrable Securities unless such Holders agree to forfeit their right to one requested registration pursuant to Section 1.2 or Section 1.5, as applicable (in which event such right shall be forfeited by all Holders); provided, however, if the Holders have learned of a material adverse change in the condition, business or prospects of the Company from that known to the Holders at the time of their request and have withdrawn the request due to and with reasonable promptness following having learned of such material adverse change, then the Holders shall not be required to pay any of such registration expenses or forfeit such registration rights; provided, further, however, that a change in stock price alone will not be considered a material adverse change for the purposes of this Section 1.4. If the Holders are required to pay the Registration Expenses, such expenses shall be borne by the holders of securities (including Registrable Securities) requesting such registration in proportion to the number of shares for which registration was requested.

1.5 Registration on Form S-3.

(a) After the Qualified Public Offering, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to qualify for registration on Form S-3 or any comparable or successor form or forms. After the Company has qualified for the use of Form S-3, in addition to the rights contained in the foregoing provisions of this Section 1, the Holders of at least 20% of the Registrable Securities shall have the right to request registrations on Form S-3 (such requests shall be in writing and shall state the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be disposed of and the intended methods of disposition of such shares by such Holder or Holders), provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect, or take any action to effect, any such registration (i) if the Holders, together with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) on Form S-3 at an aggregate price to the public of less than $l,000,000, (ii) in the circumstances described in clauses (A) and (C) of Section 1.2(a), or (iii) if the Company shall furnish the certification described in Section 1.2(b) (but subject to the limitations set forth therein).

(b) If a request complying with the requirements of Section 1.5(a) hereof is delivered to the Company, the provisions of Sections 1.2(a) relating to the provision of notice to Holders, the provision to such Holders of an opportunity to request in writing that Registrable Securities be included in the registration and the inclusion of other securities of the Company in such registration hereof shall apply to such registration. If the registration is for an underwritten offering, the provisions of Sections 1.2(c) and 1.2(d) hereof shall apply to such registration.

1.6 Registration Procedures. In the case of each registration effected by the Company pursuant to Section 1, the Company will keep each Holder advised in writing as to the initiation of each registration and as to the completion thereof. At its expense, the Company will, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

(a) Use its commercially reasonably efforts to keep such registration effective for a period of 120 days or until the Holder or Holders have completed the distribution described in the registration statement relating thereto, whichever first occurs; provided that (i) such 120-day period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period the Holder refrains from selling any securities included in such registration at the request of an underwriter of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company, and (ii) in the case of any registration statement of Form S-3 that

contemplates a distribution of securities on a delayed or continuous basis, such 120-day period shall be extended, if necessary, to keep the registration statement effective until either all such Registrable Securities are sold or the registration statement has been effective for a period of 180 days calendar days;

(b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement;

(c) Furnish such number of prospectuses and other documents incident thereto, including any amendment or supplement to the prospectus, as a Holder from time to time may reasonably request;

(d) Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act on the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statement therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing;

(e) Use its commercially reasonable efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders; provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions;

(f) Use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Agreement to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;

(g) Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereunder and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration; and

(h) In connection with any underwritten offering pursuant to a registration statement filed pursuant to Section 1.2 hereof, the Company will enter into an underwriting agreement in form reasonably necessary to effect the offer and sale of Common Stock; provided that such underwriting agreement contains reasonable and customary provisions; and provided further, that each Holder participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement.

1.7 Indemnification.

(a) The Company will indemnify each Holder, each of its officers, directors and partners, legal counsel, and accountants and each person controlling such Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, with respect to which registration, qualification, or compliance has been effected pursuant to this Section 1, and each underwriter, if any, and each person who

controls within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act any underwriter, against all expenses, claims, losses, damages, and liabilities (or actions, proceedings, or settlements in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any prospectus, offering circular, or other document (including any related registration statement, notification, or the like) incident to any such registration, qualification, or compliance, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act or other federal or state securities law or rule or regulation promulgated thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration, qualification, or compliance, and will reimburse each such Holder, each of its officers, directors, partners, legal counsel, and accountants and each person controlling such Holder, each such underwriter, and each person who controls any such underwriter, for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending or settling any such claim, loss, damage, liability, or action, provided that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability, or expense arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission based upon written information furnished to the Company by such Holder or underwriter and stated to be specifically for use therein. It is agreed that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 1.7(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

(b) Each Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by such Holder are included in the securities as to which such registration, qualification, or compliance is being effected, severally (but not jointly) indemnify the Company, each of its directors, officers, partners, legal counsel, and accountants and each underwriter, if any, of the Company’s securities covered by such a registration statement, each person who controls the Company or such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, each other such Holder, and each of their officers, directors, and partners, and each person controlling such Holder, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions, proceedings or settlements in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular, or other document, or any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company and such Holders, directors, officers, partners, legal counsel, and accountants, persons, underwriters, or control persons for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability, or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular, or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Holder and stated to be specifically for use therein; provided, however, that the obligations of such Holder hereunder shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claims, losses, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) if such settlement is effected without the consent of such Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); and provided that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 1.7 of any Holder exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.

(c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 1.7 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such party’s expense, and provided further that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 1, to the extent such failure is not prejudicial. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Each Indemnified Party shall furnish such information regarding itself or the claim in question as an Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 1.7 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense referred to therein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense 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, liability, claim, damage, or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. 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 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.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control.

1.8 Information by Holder. Each Holder of Registrable Securities shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder and the distribution proposed by such Holder as the Company may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with any registration, qualification, or compliance referred to in this Section 1.

1.9 Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holders of 65% of the Registrable Securities, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company giving such holder or prospective holder any registration rights the terms

of which are more favorable than or senior to the registration rights granted to the Holders hereunder.

1.10 Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC that may permit the sale of the Restricted Securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to:

(a) File with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements;

1.11 Transfer or Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to register securities granted to a Holder by the Company pursuant to this Section 1 may be transferred or assigned by a Holder to a transferee (i) that acquires at least 10% of the shares of the Company’s capital stock held by such Holder or (ii) that is (x) any constituent partner, member or shareholder of such Holder if such Holder is a partnership, limited liability company or corporation, (y) a family of such Holder or a trust for the benefit of such Investor, such Holder’s spouse and/or such Holder’s issue or (z) any corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity of which at least a 75% interest is owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by one or more of the persons described in (x) or (y) of this Section 1.11, provided, that the Company is given written notice at the time of or within a reasonable time after said transfer or assignment, stating the name and address of the transferee or assignee and identifying the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned, and, provided, further, that the transferee or assignee of such rights assumes in writing the obligations of such Holder under this Section 1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the right to transfer registration rights provided in this Section 1.1 will not apply to Eileen Simmons. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, for a period of one (1) year following the Qualified Public Offering, Otter Capital, LLC (“Otter Capital”) shall be the deemed owner of any Registrable Securities then owned by Haverford Internet LLC and Patrick M. Byrne for purposes of allocating among Holders the right to include Registrable Securities in a registration pursuant to this Section 1 that is the subject of an Underwriter’s Limitation and any transferee or assignee of such Registrable Securities owned by Haverford Internet LLC and Patrick M. Byrne shall assume in writing the obligations of such transferor under this Section 1.11.

1.12 “Market Standoff” Agreement. If requested by the Company and an underwriter of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company, each Investor shall not sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company held by such Investor

(other than those included in the registration) during the 180-day period following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act, provided that (a) such agreement shall only apply to the Company’s initial public offering, (b) all officers, directors and affiliates of such officers and directors are bound by and have entered into similar agreements, and (c) such agreement shall not apply to the sale of any shares acquired by a Holder in open market transactions after the date of the final prospectus for such initial public offering. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions and may stamp each such certificate with the second legend set forth in Section 1.1(b) hereof with respect to the shares of Common Stock (or other securities) subject to the foregoing restriction until the end of such 180-day period. Each Holder agrees to execute a market standoff agreement with such underwriters in customary form consistent with the provisions of this Section 1.12. Any discretionary waiver or termination of the above market standoff agreement restrictions by the Company or representatives of the underwriters shall apply to all persons and entities subject to such agreements pro rata based on the number of shares subject to such agreements. The Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that all shares of its capital stock (upon issuance) shall be subject to a market standoff provision at least as restrictive as set forth above.

1.13 Delay of Registration. No Holder shall have any right to take any action to restrain, enjoin, or otherwise delay any registration as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 1.

The right of any Holder to request registration or inclusion in any registration pursuant to Section 1.2, Section 1.3 or Section 1.5 above shall terminate (a) on the closing of the Company’s Qualified Public Offering, so long as all shares of Registrable Securities held or entitled to be held upon conversion by such Holder may immediately be sold under Rule 144 during any 90-day period, or (b) the earlier of (i) such date after the closing of the Company’s initial public offering registered under the Securities Act as all shares of Registrable Securities held or entitled to be held upon conversion by such Holder (together with any affiliate of the Holder with whom such Holder must aggregate its sales under Rule 144) may immediately be sold under Rule 144(k), and (ii) 5 years after the closing of the Company’s initial public offering registered under the Securities Act.

3.1 Right of First Offer. The Company hereby grants to each Investor a right of first offer to purchase a pro rata share of New Securities (as defined in this Section 3.1) which the Company may, from time to time, propose to sell and issue. A Investor’s pro rata share, for purposes of this Section 3, is the ratio of the number of shares of Common Stock owned by such Investor immediately prior to the issuance of New Securities, assuming full conversion of the Preferred Stock and exercise of any option or warrant held by such Investor, to the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of New Securities, assuming full conversion of the Preferred Stock and exercise of all outstanding convertible securities, rights, options and warrants to acquire Common Stock of the Company. Each Investor shall have a right of over-allotment such that if any Investor fails to exercise its right hereunder to purchase its pro rata share of New Securities, the other Investors may purchase the non-purchasing Investor’s portion on a pro rata basis within 15 days from the date such non-purchasing Investor fails to exercise its right hereunder to purchase its pro rata share of New Securities. This right of first offer shall be subject to the following provisions:

(a) “New Securities” shall mean any capital stock (including Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock) of the Company whether now authorized or not, and rights, options or warrants to purchase such capital stock, and securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become, convertible into capital stock; provided that the term “New Securities” does not include:

(i) securities purchased under the Purchase Agreement;

(ii) Conversion Stock;

(iii) 79,671,136 shares of Common Stock issued or issuable to employees, consultants, directors or other service providers for compensatory purposes and in accordance with stock plans approved by the Board of Directors, or upon exercise of options or warrants granted to such parties pursuant to any such plans (net of any repurchase of such shares or cancellations or expiration of such options);

(iv) shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise or conversion of warrants, options or other convertible securities of the Company outstanding as of the date of this Agreement (other than options outstanding pursuant to stock plans covered under Section 3.1(a)(iii) above);

(v) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to a stock split, as a dividend or distribution on Preferred Stock;

(vi) shares of Common Stock issued in a Qualified Public Offering;

(vii) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to the acquisition of another corporation by the Company by merger, purchaser of substantially all of the assets or other reorganization approved by a majority of the Board of Directors;

(viii) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to bona fide equipment lease and bank financing arrangements approved by a majority of the Board of Directors;

(ix) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable in connection with transactions of a strategic nature for which the primary purpose is other than raising equity capital and which are approved by a majority of the Board of Directors;

(x) shares of Common Stock which the Holders of sixty-five percent (65%) of the then outstanding Preferred Stock and Conversion Stock agree in writing shall not constitute “New Securities;”;

(xi) any right, option or warrant to acquire any security convertible into the securities excluded from the definition of New Securities pursuant to subsections (i) through (xi) above; and

(xii) the issuance of Common Stock upon conversion, exchange, or exercise of rights of any security previously offered to the Investors pursuant to this Section 3.

(b) In the event the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of New Securities, it shall give each Investor written notice of its intention, describing the type of New Securities, and their price and the general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue the same. Each Investor shall have 15 days after any such notice is mailed or delivered to agree to purchase such Investor’s pro rata share of such New Securities for the price and upon the terms specified in the

notice by giving written notice to the Company and stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased.

(c) In the event the Investors fail to exercise fully the right of first offer within such 15-day period and after the expiration of the additional 15-day period for the exercise of the over-allotment provisions of this Section 3, the Company shall have 90 days thereafter to sell the New Securities respecting which the Investors’ right of first offer set forth in this Section 3.1 was not exercised, at a price and upon terms no more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the Company’s notice to Investors pursuant to Section 3.1(b) above. In the event the Company has not sold within such 90-day period the New Securities in accordance with the foregoing, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities, without first again offering such securities to the Investors in the manner provided in Section 3.1(b) above.

(d) The right of first offer granted pursuant to this Section 3 shall expire upon, and shall not be applicable to, the earlier to occur of (i) the Company’s Qualified Public Offering or (ii) an Acquisition.

3.2 Transfer or Assignment of Rights of First Offer. The rights contained in Section 3 of this Agreement may be transferred or assigned by an Investor to a transferee (i) that acquires at least 10% of the shares of the Company’s capital stock held by such Investor or (ii) that is (x) any constituent partner, member or shareholder of such Investor if such Investor is a partnership, limited liability company or corporation, (y) a family of such Investor or a trust for the benefit of such Investor, such Investor’s spouse and/or such Investor’s issue or (z) any corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity of which at least a 75% interest is owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by one or more of the persons described in (x) or (y) of this Section 3.2, provided that the Company is given written notice at the time of or within a reasonable time after said transfer or assignment, stating the name and address of the transferee or assignee and identifying the securities with respect to which such rights are being transferred or assigned, and, provided further that the transferee or assignee of such rights assumes in writing the obligations of such Investor under this Agreement.
