Ladies and Gentlemen:

Certain stockholders of Ooma, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), named in Schedule I hereto (the “Selling Stockholders”), propose to sell to B. Riley & Co., LLC (the “Purchaser”) an aggregate of 2,850,000 shares (the “Firm Shares”) of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share of the Company (the “Common Stock”), with each Selling Stockholder selling the number of Firm Shares set forth opposite such Selling Stockholder’s name in Schedule I hereto. In addition, the Selling Stockholders propose to grant to the Purchaser the option to purchase up to an additional 425,000 shares of Common Stock, representing fifteen percent (15%) of the Firm Shares (the “Additional Shares”). The Firm Shares and the Additional Shares are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Shares.” The Shares are described in the Prospectus which is referred to below.

The Company, the Selling Stockholders and the Purchaser agree as follows:

1. Sale and Purchase. Each Selling Stockholder hereby agrees to sell to the Purchaser the number of Firm Shares set forth opposite such Selling Stockholder’s name in Schedule I hereto, and the Purchaser, upon the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained, but subject to the conditions hereinafter stated, agrees to purchase from such Seller at $8.30 a share (the “Purchase Price”) the number of Firm Shares to be sold by such Selling Stockholder as the number of Firm Shares set forth in Schedule I hereto.

In addition, the Selling Stockholders hereby grant to the Purchaser the option to purchase, and upon the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements contained herein and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Purchaser shall have the right to purchase from each Selling Stockholder, all or a portion of the Additional Shares, at the Purchase Price for the Firm Shares. This option may be exercised by the Purchaser any time and from time to time on or before the thirtieth (30th) day following the date hereof, by written notice to the Selling Stockholders and the Company, which notice may be electronic (“Additional Shares Notice”). The Additional Shares Notice shall set forth the aggregate number of Additional Shares as to which the option is being exercised, and the date and time when the Additional Shares are to be delivered (such date and time being herein referred to as the “Additional Time of Purchase”); provided, however, that the Additional Time of Purchase shall not be earlier than the Time of


Purchase (as defined below) nor earlier than the second (2nd) business day after the date on which the option for Additional Shares shall have been exercised nor later than the tenth (10th) business day after the date on which the option shall have been exercised. As of the Additional Time of Purchase, the Selling Stockholders will sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser will purchase, the number of Additional Shares set forth in the Additional Shares Notice.

2. Payment and Delivery. Payment of the purchase price for the Firm Shares shall be made to the Selling Stockholders by same day Federal Funds wire transfer against delivery of the Firm Shares to the Purchaser through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) for the account of the Purchaser. Such payment and delivery shall be made at 10:00 A.M., New York time, on January 19, 2017 (the “Closing Date”), which date shall be the third (or, if the purchase price set forth in Schedule A hereof is determined after 4:00 p.m., New York City time, the fourth) business day after the date of this agreement (this “Agreement”) (unless another time or date shall be agreed to by the Purchaser, the Company and the Selling Stockholders). The time at which such payment and delivery are to be made is hereinafter sometimes called the “Time of Purchase.” Electronic transfer of the Firm Shares shall be made to or as instructed by the Purchaser at the Time of Purchase in such names and in such denominations as the Purchaser shall specify.

If the option for Additional Shares is exercised, payment of the purchase price for the Additional Shares shall be made at the Additional Time of Purchase in the same manner and at the same office as the payment for the Firm Shares. Electronic transfer of the Firm Shares shall be made to or as instructed by the Purchaser at the Time of Purchase in such names and in such denominations as the Purchaser shall specify. The Time of Purchase and the Additional Time of Purchase are sometimes referred to herein as the “Closing Dates.”

Deliveries of the documents described in Section 7 with respect to the purchase of the Shares shall be made at the offices of Morgan Lewis & Bockius LLP, counsel for the Purchaser, located at 1400 Page Mill Road, Palo Alto, California 94304, at 10:00 A.M., New York time, on the applicable Closing Dates of the purchase of the Shares and/or the Additional Shares, as the case may be.

3. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Purchaser that:

(a) Registration Statement and Prospectuses. The Company has prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-215155) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act” or “Act”) and the rules and regulations of the Commission (the “Rules and Regulations”) thereunder, and such amendments to such registration statement as may have been required to the date of this Agreement. Such registration statement has been declared effective by the Commission. Each part of such registration statement, including the amendments, supplements, exhibits and any schedules thereto, the documents incorporated by reference therein under the Securities Act and the documents and information otherwise deemed to be a part thereof or included therein by Rule 430B under the Securities Act (the “Rule 430B Information”) or otherwise pursuant to the Rules and Regulations, as of the time the Registration

 

2


Statement became effective, is herein called the “Registration Statement.” Any registration statement filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act is called the “462(b) Registration Statement” and, from and after the date and time of filing of the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, the term “Registration Statement” shall include the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement. The base prospectus in the form filed with the Commission on December 16, 2016 is herein called the “Base Prospectus.” Each preliminary prospectus supplement to the Base Prospectus (including the Base Prospectus as so supplemented), that describes the Shares and the offering thereof, that omitted the Rule 430B Information and that was used prior to the filing of the final prospectus supplement referred to in the following sentence is herein called a “Preliminary Prospectus.” Promptly after execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company will prepare and file with the Commission a final prospectus supplement to the Base Prospectus relating to the Shares and the offering thereof in accordance with the provisions Rule 430B and Rule 424(b) of the Rules and Regulations. Such final supplemental form of prospectus (including the Base Prospectus as so supplemented), in the form filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) is herein called the “Prospectus.” Any reference herein to the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to include the documents incorporated by reference therein under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act as of the date of such prospectus. For purposes of this Agreement, all references to the Registration Statement, the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing shall be deemed to include the copy filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System or any successor system thereto (“EDGAR”). All references in this Agreement to financial statements and schedules and other information which is “described,” “contained,” “included” or “stated” in the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus (or other references of like import) shall be deemed to mean and include all such financial statements and schedules and other information which is incorporated by reference in or otherwise deemed by the Rules and Regulations to be a part of or included in the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be; and all references in this Agreement to amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to mean and include the subsequent filing of any document under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and which is deemed to be incorporated therein by reference therein or otherwise deemed by the Rules and Regulations to be a part thereof. No order preventing or suspending the use of any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus (or any supplement thereto) has been issued by the Commission and no proceeding for that purpose has been initiated or is pending or, to the Company’s Knowledge, threatened by the Commission. As of the time each part of the Registration Statement (or any post-effective amendment thereto) became or becomes effective (including each deemed effective date with respect to the Purchaser pursuant to Rule 430B or otherwise under the Securities Act), such part conformed or will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Act and the Rules and Regulations. The Registration Statement and the prospectus included therein include at the time of filing thereof with the Commission all the information that would be required

 

3


at that time in a prospectus relating to all offering(s) that it covers. Upon the filing or first use within the meaning of the Rules and Regulations, each Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus (or any supplement to either) conformed or will conform in all material respects to the requirements of the Act and the Rules and Regulations. The Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective under the Securities Act. The Company has complied to the Commission’s satisfaction with all requests of the Commission for additional or supplemental information. No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, any post-effective amendment or any part thereof is in effect and no proceedings for such purpose have been instituted or are pending or, to the Company’s Knowledge, are threatened by the Commission.

(b) Accurate Disclosure; Certain Defined Terms. Each Preliminary Prospectus, at the time of filing thereof or the time of first use within the meaning of the Rules and Regulations, did not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Neither the Registration Statement nor any amendment thereto, at the effective time of each part thereof, at the Closing Date or at any subsequent Closing Dates, contained, contains or will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted, omits or will omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. As of the Time of Sale (as defined below), the General Disclosure Package (as defined below) did not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Neither the Prospectus nor any supplement thereto, as of its issue date, at the time of any filing with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Rules and Regulations, at the Closing Date or at any subsequent Closing Dates, included, includes or will include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted, omits or will omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The representations and warranties in this Section 3(b) shall not apply to statements in or omissions from any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any supplement thereto) made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information furnished to the Company by the Purchaser specifically for use in the preparation of such document, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by the Purchaser consists of the information described as such in Section 17.

(u) Absence of Manipulation.

Except as set forth in the General Disclosure Package, the Company, its subsidiaries and the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) are in compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley and all applicable Exchange Rules.

27


(d) Notice and Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, the indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify such indemnifying party in writing of the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 8 except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure; and, provided, further, that the failure to notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 8. If any such action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense of such action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party (which counsel shall not, except with the written consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party). After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such action, except as provided herein, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under Section 8 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense of such action other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that any indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense of such action but the fees and expenses of such counsel (other than reasonable costs of investigation which shall remain the expense of the Company) shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) in the case of an Purchaser Indemnified Party, the employment thereof has been specifically authorized in writing by the Company in the case of a claim for indemnification under Section 8(a), or the Selling Stockholder in the case of a claim for indemnification under Section 8(b), or (ii) such indemnified party shall have been advised by its counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, or (iii) the indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense of such action and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party within a reasonable period of time after notice of the commencement of the action or the indemnifying party does not diligently defend the action after assumption of the defense, in which case, if such indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of (or, in the case of a failure to diligently defend the action after assumption of the defense, to continue to defend) such action on behalf of such indemnified party and the indemnifying party shall be responsible for legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense of such action; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such indemnified parties (in addition to any local counsel), which firm shall be designated in writing by the Purchaser if the indemnified parties under this Section 8 consist of any Purchaser Indemnified Party or by the Company if the indemnified parties

 

28


under this Section 8 consist of any Company Indemnified Parties. Subject to this Section 8(d), the amount payable by an indemnifying party under Section 8 shall include, but not be limited to, (x) reasonable legal fees and expenses of counsel to the indemnified party and any other expenses in investigating, or preparing to defend or defending against, or appearing as a third party witness in respect of, or otherwise incurred in connection with, any action, investigation, proceeding or claim, and (y) all amounts paid in settlement of any of the foregoing. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to any pending or threatened action or any claim whatsoever, in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 8 (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party. Subject to the provisions of the following sentence, no indemnifying party shall be liable for settlement of any pending or threatened action or any claim whatsoever that is effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), but if settled with its written consent, or if its consent has been unreasonably withheld or delayed, or if there be a judgment for the plaintiff in any such matter, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. In addition, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested that an indemnifying party reimburse the indemnified party for reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated herein effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than forty-five (45) days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the request for reimbursement, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least thirty (30) days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.

(e) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 8(a), (b) or (c) above, then each indemnifying party shall, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid, payable or otherwise incurred by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (or any action, investigation or proceeding in respect thereof), as incurred, (i) in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand, and the Purchaser on the other hand from the sale of the Shares, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) of this Section 8(e) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) of this Section 8(e) but also the relative fault of the Company and the Selling Stockholder on the one hand, and the Purchaser on the other, with respect to the statements, omissions, acts or failures to act which resulted in such loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (or any action, investigation or proceeding

 

29


in respect thereof) as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand and the Purchaser on the other with respect to such sale shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the sale of the Shares purchased under this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders bear to the total compensation received by the Purchaser in connection with the sale, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault of the Company and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand and the Purchaser on the other 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 and the Selling Stockholders on the one hand or the Purchaser on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement, omission, act or failure to act; provided that the parties hereto agree that the written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Purchaser for use in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, consists solely of the Purchaser’ Information.

(f) Allocation. The Company, the Selling Stockholders and the Purchaser agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to Section 8(e) above were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, damage, expense, liability, action, investigation or proceeding referred to above in Section 8(e) shall be deemed to include, for purposes of this Section 8(f), any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending against or appearing as a third party witness in respect of, or otherwise incurred in connection with, any such loss, claim, damage, expense, liability, action, investigation or proceeding. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8(f), the Purchaser shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the total compensation received by the Purchaser hereunder less the amount of any damages which the Purchaser have otherwise paid or become liable to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission, act or alleged act or failure to act or alleged failure to act. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

9. Termination of this Agreement.

(a) Right to Terminate. You shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving notice to the Company as hereinafter specified at any time at or prior to the first Closing Date, and the option for Additional Shares, if exercised, may be cancelled at any time prior to the second Closing Date, if (i) the Company shall have failed, refused or been unable, at or prior to such Closing Date, to perform any agreement on its part to be performed hereunder, (ii) any condition of the Purchaser’s obligations hereunder is not fulfilled, (iii) trading in the Company’s Common Stock shall have been suspended by the Commission or New York Stock Exchange or trading in securities generally on the

10. Reimbursement of Purchaser Expenses.

(d) the Company and each Selling Stockholder waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims it may have against the Purchaser for breach of fiduciary duty or alleged breach of fiduciary duty and agrees that the Purchaser shall have no liability (whether direct or indirect) to the Company or the Selling Stockholders in respect of such a fiduciary duty claim or to any person asserting a fiduciary duty claim on behalf of or in right of the Company or the Selling Stockholders, including stockholders, employees or creditors of the Company or the Selling Stockholders.
