In this connection, the Purchaser represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.

7.14. Exclusivity. From the Agreement Date until June 21, 2015 (the “Exclusivity Period”):

(a) the Company and its officers shall not, and the Company shall not authorize any of its directors, employees, agents or representatives, including any investment banker, attorney, consultant or accountant (collectively, “Representatives”), to directly or indirectly, sell, offer, contract or grant any option to sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of or transfer, or announce the offering of any debt securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, shares of capital stock of the Company with terms substantially similar to the Notes (any such transaction, a “Competing Transaction”) and;

(b) the Company and its officers shall, and the Company shall instruct its Representatives to, cease any discussions and negotiations with any person or entity other than the HH Purchaser regarding any Competing Transaction or any proposal that could reasonably be expected to lead to a Competing Transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, the offer and sale of common or preferred stock of the Company or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for common or preferred stock (excluding any convertible debt securities), or non-convertible debt securities of the Company shall not be deemed a Competing Transaction if not prohibited under clause (a) above.

In addition, during the Exclusivity Period, the Company and its officers shall not, and the Company shall not authorize any Representatives to, (i) engage in any discussions or negotiations with, or provide any confidential or non-public information or data to, any person other than the HH Purchaser relating to a Competing Transaction, (ii) encourage any effort or attempt by any person other than the HH Purchaser to propose or implement a Competing Transaction, or (iii) execute or enter into with any person other than the HH Purchaser, any letter of intent, exclusivity agreement, agreement in principle, purchase agreement, option agreement, or other similar agreement related to a Competing Transaction.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company from offering and selling the Notes (a) to its existing investors to the extent required under the terms of any existing rights of first offer or similar existing rights of the Company’s investors (the “Right of First Offer”) and (b) to other investors or potential investors (the “Other Investors”) (1) set forth on Schedule 7.14 hereto, (2) who are existing investors of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries who do not have the Right of First Offer or (3) with the HH Purchaser’s prior written consent,

Confidential Treatment Requested by Uber Technologies, Inc.

Pursuant to 17 C.F.R. Section 200.83

 

such consent not to be unreasonably withheld (it being agreed that it is reasonable for the HH Purchaser to withhold consent if the HH Purchaser (1) is already in discussions with such potential investor with respect to the Transactions or (2) has a pre-existing relationship with such potential investor and is planning to contact such potential investor about the Transactions), and in connection therewith, engaging in discussions or negotiations with, providing any confidential or non-public information or data to, and/or entering into purchase agreement for the securities offered in the Transactions with, such existing investors or other investors or potential investors.

7.15. Confidentiality.

(a) Each of the Company and each Purchaser agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed: (i) to its Affiliates, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (ii) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners); (iii) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, upon the request or demand of any Governmental Authority, in response to any order of any court or other Governmental Authority or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any Law or if required to do so in connection with any litigation or similar proceeding; (iv) to any other party to this Agreement; (v) to any potential or actual investor in any Special Purpose Purchaser and their advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); provided, that, any Information that is provided to such Persons pursuant to this clause (v) must have (A) been provided to the Company for its review prior to the distribution to such Persons and (B) the Company must provide authorization (which may be oral) to the Special Purchase Purchaser allowing it to provide such Information to such Persons; (vi) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder; (vii) with the consent of the Company; or (viii) to the extent such Information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 7.15, or (B) becomes available to a Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 7.15 shall exercise no less than the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any party to this Agreement (and any employee, representative, or other agent of any party to this Agreement) may disclose to any and all persons of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to it relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. However, any such information relating to the tax treatment or tax structure is required to be kept confidential to the extent necessary to comply with any applicable federal or state securities laws.

(c) For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information (i) received from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, or (ii) received from the Purchaser relating to the Purchaser or, if the Purchaser is a Special Purpose Purchaser, any SPV Investor, as applicable, the existence of this Agreement and the Transaction Agreements and the terms of this Agreement and the Transaction Agreements, and the existence of the Transaction and the terms thereof.

7.16. No Publicity. Each of the Company and each Purchaser agrees that it will not, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and Affiliates (and, in the case of any Special Purpose Purchaser, any SPV Investor) to not, without the prior written consent of the other party, use in advertising, publicity, or otherwise the name of the other party, or any partner or employee of the other party, nor any trade name, trademark, trade device, service mark, symbol or any abbreviation, contraction or simulation thereof owned by the other party, or any of its Affiliates, in each case other than pursuant to required securities filings (including disclosure in a Registration Statement on Form S-1). Each of the Company and each Purchaser further agrees that it shall obtain the written consent of the other party prior to the issuance of any public statement identifying or specifying that such Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (and, in the case of any Special Purpose Purchaser, any SPV Investor) has purchased the Notes pursuant to this Agreement, in each case other than pursuant to required securities filings (including disclosure in a Registration Statement on Form S-1). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 7.16, (x) with respect to any disclosure by or with respect to a Purchaser pursuant to this Section 7.16, all references herein to “consent of the other party” shall only require the consent of the Company and not the consent of any other Purchaser, and (y) the Company may, in any announcement, advertisement, public statement, or otherwise, disclose the sale and issuance of Notes, the purchase price therefor, the identities of the Purchasers and any other details of the transactions contemplated hereby.

7.17. Termination.

(a) Termination. At any time prior to the Initial Closing Date, this Agreement may be terminated and the Transaction abandoned by authorized action taken by the terminating party:

(i) by mutual written consent duly authorized by the Company and the HH Purchaser;

(ii) by either the Company or the HH Purchaser, if the Initial Closing Date shall not have occurred by July 21, 2015 (the “Termination Date”); provided, further, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this clause (ii) of this Section 7.17(a) shall not be available to any party whose breach of any covenant or agreement hereunder will have been the principal cause of, or will have directly resulted in, the failure of the Initial Closing to occur on or before the Termination Date;

(iii) by either the Company or the HH Purchaser, if any permanent injunction or other order of a Governmental Authority of competent authority preventing the consummation of the Transaction shall have become final and nonappealable;

Pursuant to 17 C.F.R. Section 200.83

 

(iv) by the Company, if the HH Purchaser shall have breached any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein and such breach shall not have been cured within 10 Business Days after receipt by the HH Purchaser of written notice of such breach and if not cured within the timeframe above and at or prior to the Initial Closing, such breach would result in the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section 5.1 or Section 5.2 to be satisfied; or

(v) by the HH Purchaser, if Company shall have breached any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein and such breach shall not have been cured within 10 Business Days after receipt by the Company of written notice of such breach and if not cured within the timeframe above and at or prior to the Initial Closing, such breach would result in the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section 4.1 or Section 4.2 to be satisfied.

(b) Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 7.17, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of the Company or any of the Purchasers or their respective officers, directors, stockholders or Affiliates; provided, however, that (i) the provisions of this Section 7 shall remain in full force and effect and survive any termination of this Agreement and (ii) nothing herein shall relieve any party hereto from liability in connection with any breach of such party’s representations, warranties or covenants contained herein.

7.18. No Fiduciary Duty. Each of the Purchasers and their Affiliates may have interests, economic or otherwise, that conflict with those of the other Purchasers, their equityholders and/or their Affiliates. Notwithstanding the fact that the consent of the HH Purchaser is required for the taking of any action hereunder, each Purchaser agrees that nothing in the Transaction Agreements or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between the HH Purchaser, its equityholders or its Affiliates, on the one hand, and any other Purchaser, its equityholders or its Affiliates, on the other. Each Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that (a) none of HH Purchaser, its stockholders or its Affiliates have assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any other Purchaser, its equityholders or its Affiliates with respect to the Transactions contemplated hereby or under any of the Transaction Agreements (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect hereto or thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether HH Purchaser, its stockholders or its Affiliates have advised, are currently advising or will advise any other Purchaser, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any other Purchaser and (b) HH Purchaser shall have no duty to consult with, provide notice to, seek the approval or consent of, or take into account the interest of any other Purchaser in connection with any transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements or its actions or omissions to act or otherwise under the Transaction Agreements. The HH Purchaser shall not be liable to any other Purchaser for any loss or damage, including counsel fees, resulting from its actions or omissions to act or otherwise under the Transaction Agreements. In no event shall the HH Purchaser be liable to the other Purchasers or any third party for special, indirect or consequential damages, or lost profits or loss of business, arising out of its actions or omissions to act.
