The Company also proposes to issue and sell to the several Underwriters not more than an additional [—] shares of its Class A Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”) if and to the extent that you, as managers of the offering, shall have determined to exercise, on behalf of the Underwriters, the right to purchase such shares of common stock granted to the Underwriters in Section 2 hereof. The Firm Shares and the Additional Shares are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Shares.”

The Company has entered into Purchase Agreements (the “Purchase Agreements”), each dated as of the date hereof, with Kohlberg Kravis ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Co. L.P., Silver Lake Partners, Technology Crossover Ventures and The Go Daddy Group, Inc. or certain of their affiliates (collectively, the “Principal Holders”), pursuant to which the Principal Holders have agreed to purchase an aggregate of [ ] shares (the “Company Directed Shares”) of Class A Common Stock offered pursuant to the Registration Statement (as defined herein) at the Public Offering Price (as defined herein) directly from the Company (the “Company Directed Offering”). The closing of the Company Directed Offering shall occur concurrently with the closing of the sales of the Firm Shares contemplated by Section 4 hereof.

The shares of Class A Common Stock to be outstanding after giving effect to the sales contemplated hereby, the sales of the Company Directed Shares contemplated by the Purchase Agreements and the Reorganization Transactions (as defined herein),

together with the shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Class B Common Stock”) are hereinafter referred to as the “Common Stock.”

In connection with the offering contemplated by this Agreement, the Company will become the sole managing member of Desert Newco, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Desert Newco”), and will directly own a [—]% membership interest in Desert Newco, assuming no exercise of the option to purchase Additional Shares described in Section 2 hereof.

Any reference in this Agreement, to the extent the context requires, to the “Reorganization Transactions” shall have the meanings ascribed to the term “Reorganization Transactions” in the Prospectus (as defined below). In connection with the offering contemplated by this Agreement and the Reorganization Transactions, (a) the Company will enter into five separate tax receivable agreements (collectively, the “Tax Receivable Agreements”) with certain existing holders of membership interests of Desert Newco; (b) the Company will enter into an amended and restated registration rights agreement with Desert Newco and certain existing holders of membership interests of Desert Newco (the “Registration Rights Agreement”); (c) Desert Newco has amended and restated its limited liability company agreement to provide for the reclassification of existing units of Desert Newco into non-voting units, add the Company as a member of Desert Newco and designate the Company as the sole managing member of Desert Newco (as so amended and restated, the “Desert Newco, LLC Agreement”); and (d) the Company has amended and restated its certificate of incorporation (as so amended and restated, the “Amended and Restated Charter”).

This Agreement, the Desert Newco, LLC Agreement, the Amended and Restated Charter, the Tax Receivable Agreements, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Purchase Agreements are collectively referred to herein as the “Transaction Documents.”

2. Agreements to Sell and Purchase. The Company hereby agrees to sell to the several Underwriters, and each Underwriter, upon the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained, but subject to the conditions hereinafter stated, agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company the respective numbers of Firm Shares set forth in Schedule I hereto opposite its name at $[—] a share (the “Purchase Price”).

On the basis of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, and subject to its terms and conditions, the Company agrees to sell to the Underwriters the Additional Shares, and the Underwriters shall have the right to purchase, severally

and not jointly, up to [—] Additional Shares at the Purchase Price, provided, however, that the amount paid by the Underwriters for any Additional Shares shall be reduced by an amount per share equal to any dividends declared by the Company and payable on the Firm Shares but not payable on such Additional Shares. You may exercise this right on behalf of the Underwriters in whole or from time to time in part by giving written notice of each election to exercise the option not later than 30 days after the date of this Agreement. Any exercise notice shall specify the number of Additional Shares to be purchased by the Underwriters and the date on which such shares are to be purchased.

Additional Shares may be purchased as provided in Section 4 hereof solely for the purpose of covering over-allotments made in connection with the offering of the Firm Shares. On each day, if any, that Additional Shares are to be purchased (an “Option Closing Date”), each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase the number of Additional Shares (subject to such adjustments to eliminate fractional shares as you may determine) that bears the same proportion to the total number of Additional Shares to be purchased on such Option Closing Date as the number of Firm Shares set forth in Schedule I hereto opposite the name of such Underwriter bears to the total number of Firm Shares.

The Company is further advised by you that the Shares are to be offered to the public initially at $[—] a share (the “Public Offering Price”) and to certain dealers selected by you at a price that represents a concession not in excess of $[—] a share under the Public Offering Price, and that any Underwriter may allow, and such dealers may reallow, a concession, not in excess of $[—] a share, to any Underwriter or to certain other dealers.

8. Indemnity and Contribution. (a) The Company and Desert Newco, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its directors, officers, employees and agents, each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and each affiliate of any Underwriter within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, any issuer free writing prospectus as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act, any Company information that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, any road show as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act (a “road show”), or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, caused by 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, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through you expressly for use therein.

(b) Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, Desert Newco, the directors of the Company and Desert Newco, the officers of the Company who sign the Registration Statement

and each person, if any, who controls the Company or Desert Newco within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company and Desert Newco to such Underwriter, but only with reference to information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through you expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any issuer free writing prospectus, road show or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto.

(c) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 8(a) or 8(b), such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel chosen by the indemnifying party and reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonably incurred, documented fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed in writing to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, (iii) the indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party or (iv) the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by the Representatives, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(a), and by the Company and Desert Newco, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(b). 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any

proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior 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 (x) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include any statements to or any admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d) To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 8(a) or 8(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 8(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 8(d)(i) above but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and 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 and Desert Newco on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the 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) 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 indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party or parties 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 and Desert Newco 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 8 are several in proportion to the respective number of Shares they have purchased hereunder, and not joint.

(e) The Company, Desert Newco and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8 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 8(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 8(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 8, 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 8 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 8 and the representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and Desert Newco 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 or its directors, officers, employees and agents, any person controlling any Underwriter or any affiliate of any Underwriter or by or on behalf of the Company, Desert Newco, their officers or directors or any person controlling the Company or Desert Newco and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Shares.

9. Termination. The Underwriters may terminate this Agreement by notice given by you to the Company and Desert Newco, 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 New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE MKT, the NASDAQ Global Market, the Chicago Board of Options Exchange, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange or the Chicago Board of Trade or other relevant exchanges, (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, 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.

10. 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 10 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, the Company and Desert Newco 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, the Company or Desert Newco. In any such case, you, the Company or Desert Newco 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.

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 or Desert Newco to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Company or Desert Newco shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Company and Desert Newco, jointly and severally, will reimburse the Underwriters or such Underwriters as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to

themselves, severally, for all documented 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.

11. 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 Desert Newco, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, 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 and Desert Newco acknowledge that in connection with the offering of the Shares: (i) the Underwriters have acted at arm’s length, are not agents of, and owe no fiduciary duties to, the Company, Desert Newco or any other person, (ii) the Underwriters owe the Company and Desert Newco 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 and those of Desert Newco. Each of the Company and Desert Newco 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.

12. 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.

13. Applicable Law. This Agreement, and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to this Agreement, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York.

14. 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.

15. Notices. All communications hereunder shall be in writing and effective only upon receipt and if to the Underwriters shall be delivered, mailed or sent to you in care of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Co. LLC, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Attention: Equity Syndicate Desk, with a copy to the Legal Department; in care of ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Securities LLC, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (fax: (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇); Attention: Equity Syndicate Desk; and in care of Citigroup Global Markets Inc., ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Attention: General Counsel (fax: (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇), and if to the Company or Desert Newco, shall be delivered, mailed or sent to ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned understands that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Co. LLC, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Securities LLC and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (together, the “Representatives”) propose to enter into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with GoDaddy Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), formed to hold a portion of the units of Desert Newco, LLC (“Desert Newco”), providing for the public offering (the “Public Offering”) by the several Underwriters, including the Representatives (the “Underwriters”), of shares (the “Shares”) of Class A common stock of the Company (the “Class A Common Stock”). The undersigned further understands that, prior to the consummation of the Public Offering, the Company will be authorized to issue, in addition to the Class A Common Stock, shares of its Class B Common Stock (the “Class B Common Stock” and collectively with the Class A Common Stock, 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,

A-2

Securities shall be voluntarily made during the Restricted Period and if the undersigned is required to file a report under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock or other Securities during the Restricted Period, the undersigned shall include a statement in such report to the effect that such transfer is not a transfer for value and (z) in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to clause (b)(iii) above, during the Restricted Period no filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of Common Stock or other Securities shall be required or shall be voluntarily made;

(c) the establishment or amendment of a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act for the transfer of shares of Common Stock, provided that (i) such plan does not provide for the transfer of shares of Common Stock during the Restricted Period and (ii) to the extent a public announcement or filing under the Exchange Act, if any, is required of or voluntarily made by or on behalf of the undersigned or the Company regarding the establishment or amendment of such plan, such announcement or filing shall include a statement to the effect that no transfer of shares of Common Stock may be made under such plan during the Restricted Period;

(d) the transfer to the Company of the Undersigned’s Securities upon a vesting event of the Undersigned’s Securities or upon the exercise of options or warrants to purchase the Securities, in each case on a “cashless” or “net exercise” basis or to cover tax withholding obligations of the undersigned in connection with such vesting or exercise, provided that no filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock or other Securities, shall be required or shall be voluntarily made;

(e) the transfer of the Undersigned’s Securities to the Company, pursuant to agreements under which the Company or any of its stockholders has the option to repurchase such Securities upon termination of service of the undersigned, provided that no filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock or other Securities, shall be required or shall be voluntarily made;

(f) the exchange of any units of Desert Newco (or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for units of Desert Newco) and a corresponding number of shares of Class B Common Stock into or for shares of Class A Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Class A Common Stock pursuant to the exchange agreement described in the Prospectus; provided that (i) such shares of Class A Common Stock and other securities remain subject to the terms of this letter and (ii) to the extent a public announcement or filing under the Exchange Act, if any, is required of or voluntarily made by or on behalf of the undersigned or the Company regarding the exchange, such announcement or filing shall include a statement to the effect that such exchange occurred pursuant to the exchange agreement among the Company and certain owners of Desert Newco and no transfer of the shares of Class A Common Stock or other securities received upon exchange may be made during the Restricted Period;

(h) the sale and transfer of shares of Common Stock by the undersigned to the Underwriters in the Public Offering pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, and any transfers to the Company or Desert Newco made on the closing date of the Public Offering in consideration of cash from the Company’s proceeds from the Public Offering, as may be described in the Prospectus;

(i) the transfer of the Undersigned’s Securities that occurs by operation of law pursuant to a domestic order or divorce settlement; provided that (i) such Securities remain subject to the terms of this letter, and (ii) if the undersigned is required to file a report under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock or other Securities during the Restricted Period, the undersigned shall include a statement in such report to the effect that such transfer occurred by operation of law, pursuant to a domestic order or in connection with a divorce settlement; [and]

(j) any transfer of the Undersigned’s Securities pursuant to a bona fide third party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction made to all holders of Securities involving a “change of control” (as defined below) of the Company occurring after the consummation of the Public Offering, that has been approved by the board of directors of the Company; provided that in the event that the tender offer, merger, consolidation or other such transaction is not completed, the Undersigned’s Securities shall remain subject to the terms of this agreement. For purposes of this clause (j), “change of control” means the consummation of any bona fide third party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction the result of which is that any “person” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), or group of persons, other than the Company, becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 of the Exchange Act) of 50% of total voting power of the voting stock of the Company[.]/[; and

(k) any transfer of the Undersigned’s Securities pledged in a bona fide transaction to third parties as collateral to secure obligations pursuant to lending or other arrangements between such third parties (or their affiliates or designees) and the undersigned and/or its affiliates or any similar arrangement relating to a financing arrangement for the benefit of the undersigned and/or its affiliates; provided that in the case of pledges or similar arrangements under this clause (k), any such pledgee or other party shall, upon foreclosure on the pledged securities, sign and deliver a lock up letter substantially in the form of this letter.]²

In addition, the undersigned agrees that, without the prior written consent of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Co. LLC and ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Securities LLC on behalf of the

²	To be included in the lock-up agreements of certain stockholders.

Underwriters, it will not, during the Restricted Period, make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any of the Undersigned’s Securities, if such demand would require the Company during the Restricted Period to file, or a make a public announcement of its intention to file, a registration statement. The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the Undersigned’s Securities except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, affiliates of the undersigned that have not separately signed a lock-up agreement may engage in brokerage, investment advisory, financial advisory, anti-raid advisory, merger advisory, financing, asset management, trading, market making, arbitrage, principal investing and other similar activities conducted in the ordinary course of their affiliates’ business, other than with respect to the Securities from time to time owned by the undersigned.

[If any of Kohlberg Kravis ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Co., L.P., Silver Lake Partners, Technology Crossover Ventures or The Go Daddy Group Inc., or any of their respective affiliates (each a “Triggering Stockholder”), is granted a discretionary release or waiver from any lock-up agreement executed with the Representatives in connection with the Public Offering prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, then the undersigned shall also be granted an early release from its obligations hereunder on the same terms and on a pro-rata basis with respect to such number of shares of Common Stock rounded down to the nearest whole share equal to the product of (i) the maximum percentage of shares of Common Stock (assuming the conversion, exercise or exchange of any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock) held by the Triggering Stockholder being released from the lock-up agreement multiplied by (ii) the total number of shares of Common Stock (assuming the conversion, exercise or exchange of any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock) held by the undersigned; provided that, the provisions of this paragraph will not apply if (a) the release or waiver is effected solely to permit a transfer not for consideration and (b) the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the same terms described in this letter to the extent and for the duration that such terms remain in effect at the time of the transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such early release or waiver is granted in connection with an underwritten public offering of Common Stock registered pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (a “Secondary Offering”), then the securities of the undersigned shall only be granted an early release, on a pro rata basis with and otherwise on the same terms as any other security holders in such Secondary Offering, with respect to such number of shares of Common Stock held by the undersigned that are sold in such Secondary Offering. The Representatives shall use reasonable efforts to provide notice to the Company upon the occurrence of a release of a Triggering Stockholder of its obligations under any lock-up agreement executed in connection with the Public Offering that gives rise to a corresponding release of the undersigned’s lock-up pursuant to the terms of this paragraph; provided that the failure to

A-5

provide such notice shall not give rise to any claim or liability against the Representatives or the Underwriters.]³

If the undersigned is an officer or director of the Company, the undersigned further agrees that the foregoing provisions shall be equally applicable to any issuer-directed Shares the undersigned may purchase in the offering.

If the undersigned is an officer or director of the Company, (i) ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Co. LLC and ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Securities LLC agree that, at least three business days before the effective date of any release or waiver of the foregoing restrictions in connection with a transfer of shares of Common Stock, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Co. LLC and ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Securities LLC will notify the Company of the impending release or waiver, and (ii) the Company has agreed in the Underwriting Agreement to announce the impending release or waiver by press release through a major news service at least two business days before the effective date of the release or waiver. Any release or waiver granted by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Co. LLC and ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Securities LLC hereunder to any such officer or director shall only be effective two business days after the publication date of such press release. The provisions of this paragraph will not apply if (a) the release or waiver is effected solely to permit a transfer not for consideration and (b) the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the same terms described in this letter to the extent and for the duration that such terms remain in effect at the time of the transfer.

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. 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 ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Co. LLC and ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Securities LLC that the restrictions imposed by this agreement have expired. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the preceding two sentences shall not apply if NASD Rule 2711(f) and NYSE Rule 472(f) are amended or repealed prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period so as to eliminate all prohibitions and restrictions that would delay or impede the timely publication or other distribution of research reports with respect to (or the recommendation of, offering of an opinion on, or making of an appearance concerning) any company or its securities by any research analyst, broker, dealer or any member of FINRA (or any other national securities association) following the expiration,

waiver or termination of any agreement that restricts or prohibits the sale or transfer of securities issued by any such company or held by its shareholders after the public offering of such securities; provided that there are no other applicable laws, regulations, rules or written interpretive guidance promulgated by a governmental authority, national securities association or self-regulatory organization providing for any such prohibition or restriction that is adopted after the date hereof and that would be in effect during the aforementioned 34-day period.

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 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 undersigned’s heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns. This agreement shall automatically terminate upon the earliest to occur, if any, of (a) the date that the Company advises the Representatives, in writing, prior to the execution of the Underwriting Agreement, that it has determined not to proceed with the Public Offering, (b) the date of termination of the Underwriting Agreement, or (c) November 30, 2015, if the Public Offering of the Shares has not been completed by any 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.
