You hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) immediately prior to the completion of the Transaction, you were the holder of the Echo Nest Options listed on Exhibit A hereto under the heading “Echo Nest Stock Options” and you did not then hold any other options involving the equity of Echo Nest, (ii) you did not transfer or otherwise agree or promise to transfer any of your right, title or interest in or to any of the Echo Nest Options and you held them free and clear of all liens as of the completion of the Transaction and (iii) if you do not duly execute and deliver the Shareholder Agreement prior to the exercise of any Converted Spotify Option, all of your Converted Spotify Options will be automatically cancelled and forfeited without the payment of any consideration to you.

2.2 Right of first refusal

2.2.1 The Holder may transfer all or some of his/her Shares to a third party in a bona fide transaction other than in the event of an IPO or pursuant to Sections 2.3 or 2.4,provided that the Holder first offers these Shares to the Company or to any third party designated by the Company (an “Appointee”) in accordance with this Section 2.2; andprovidedfurther that the Holder’s offer is an offer to transfer no less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Shares then held by such Holder.

2.2.2 The Holder must serve written notice (the “Notice”) substantially in the form set out inSchedule 1 (Notice of Proposed Transfer) to the Company, setting out:

2.3 Drag-along right

2.3.1 In the event of a bona fide firm offer from an unaffiliated third party which, if consummated, would result in such third party owning at least fifty (50) per cent of all Shares then outstanding (regardless of the form of transaction proposed in such offer), andprovided that the Majority Shareholders accept such offer (or the Company certifies that the Majority Shareholders are required to accept the offer pursuant to an agreement among the Majority Shareholders) (a “Trade Sale”), the Holder hereby irrevocably agrees, on written request by the Company, to:

(a) transfer the same pro rata share of its Shares, on a fully diluted basis, as the transferring Majority Shareholders on substantially the same terms and conditions;

(b) if a shareholder approval is required, vote (in person, by proxy or by action by written consent, as applicable) all his/her/its Shares in favour of, and adopt, such Trade Sale or any measures required for its execution and consummation;

(c) execute and deliver all related documentation and take such other action in support of the Trade Sale as shall reasonably be requested by the Company and/or any Majority Shareholder;

(d) refrain from exercising any dissenters’ rights, rights of appraisal or similar rights under applicable law at any time with respect to such Trade Sale; and

(e) in the event that the sellers, in connection with such Trade Sale, appoint a shareholder representative with respect to matters affecting the shareholders under the applicable definitive transaction agreements pending and following consummation of such Trade Sale, consent to: (i) the appointment of such shareholder representative, (ii) the establishment of any applicable escrow, expense or similar account in connection with any indemnification, purchase price adjustment or similar obligations, and (iii) the payment of such shareholder’s pro rata portion (from the applicable escrow or expense account or otherwise) of any and all reasonable fees and expenses to such shareholder representative in connection with its services and duties in connection with such Trade Sale.

2.3.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, Holder shall not be required to comply with Section 2.3.1 in connection with any proposed Trade Sale unless:

(a) except as provided for in paragraph (b) below, the Holder shall not be liable for the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by any other person or entity in connection with such Trade Sale, other than the Company;

SHA         5(16)

(b) the liability for indemnification, if any, of the Holder in such Trade Sale and for the inaccuracy of any representations and warranties made by the Company or its stockholders in connection with such Trade Sale, is several and not joint with any other person or entity (except to the extent that funds may be deposited in and paid out of an escrow established to cover breach of representations and warranties), and is pro rata in proportion to, and does not exceed, the amount of consideration paid to the Holder in connection with such Trade Sale; and

(c) liability shall be limited to the Holder’s applicable share of a negotiated aggregate indemnification amount that applies equally to all stockholders of the Company participating in such Trade Sale but that in no event exceeds the amount of consideration otherwise payable to the Holder in connection with such Trade Sale, except with respect to claims related to fraud or wilful misconduct by the Holder, the liability for which need not be limited as to the Holder;

provided that Holder agrees to be responsible for any additional reasonable costs incurred by the Company or a Majority Shareholder directly related to ensuring that such Trade Sale complies with the conditions set forth in this Section 2.3.2.

2.4 Tag-along right

In the event of a Trade Sale, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that the Holder is given the opportunity to transfer the same pro rata share of its Shares, on a fully diluted basis, and on substantially the same terms and conditions as the transferring Majority Shareholders.

2.5 IPO

2.5.1 In connection with an IPO, the Holder undertakes to comply with any restrictions on sale (lock-up) or otherwise (such period not to exceed 180 days), imposed by the underwriters, the Company or the investment bank involved in the IPO with respect to the Shares held by the Holder.

2.5.2 The Holder undertakes to execute and deliver any agreements that are consistent with this Section 2.5 or that are necessary to give further effect thereto.

2.6 Shares as individual property

2.6.1 In the event the Holder is a private individual, the Holder shall ensure that his/her Shares always constitute individual property (Sw. enskild egendom). In the event the Holder dies during the term of this Agreement and his/her estate, heirs, or beneficiaries do not declare themselves bound by this Agreement, such estate, heirs, or beneficiaries shall be obligated to immediately notify the Company in writing and offer the Holder’s Shares to the Company at Fair Market Value.

2.6.2 In the event that the Holder is a natural person and is hereafter deprived of some or all of his/her Shares through a division of marital property during marriage or in conjunction with a divorce, the Holder shall immediately notify the Company in writing of this and shall use his or her reasonable best efforts to cause any person entitled to a portion of such Shares as a result of such division to accede to this Agreement (as amended and supplemented from time to time) on the same terms and conditions as the Holder in accordance with Section 2.9. Should the Holder fail to fulfil his or her obligations in accordance with the above, the Company shall be entitled, not later than six (6) months from the date of the notification in respect of the division of property, to demand purchase of the Shares which have been transferred through the division from the spouse (whether former or not) at Fair Market Value.

SHA         6(16)

2.7.1 For as long as Holder owns Shares, upon Holder’s written request to the Company, the Company shall provide such Holder with the financial information prepared in connection with the Company’s most recent annual shareholders’ meeting or any other financial information that such Holder is entitled to receive from the Company under applicable law.

2.8 Adherence by an acquirer of Shares

All adherences to this Agreement made pursuant to this Section 2 shall be made substantially in the form set out inSchedule 2 (Form of Adherence Notice), of which form section 1 shall be used by an acquirer being a private individual and section 2 shall be used by an acquirer being a legal entity.

3. FAIR MARKET VALUE

3.1 The Company shall, on its own initiative or when so required under this Agreement make, a first written proposal of, and seek to agree with the Holder (or his/her estate, heirs, beneficiaries or spouse (whether former or not), as the case may be) as to, the Fair Market Value of a Share. If no such agreement has been reached within thirty (30) calendar days from the first written proposal, the Holder (or his/her estate, heirs, beneficiaries or spouse (whether former or not), as the case may be) may within the following ten (10) calendar days request in writing that the Fair Market Value be determined by a reputable third party valuation firm of good standing appointed by the Company (a “Valuer”), in its sole discretion. The Fair Market Value shall be deemed finally determined as set out in the Company’s last written proposal for Fair Market Value if no written request is made by the Holder (or his/her estate, heirs, beneficiaries or spouse (whether former or not), as the case may be) in accordance with the foregoing.

3.2 If the Holder (or his/her estate, heirs, beneficiaries or spouse (whether former or not), as the case may be) has reasonably requested that the Fair Market Value shall be determined by a Valuer, the following shall apply:

(a) If a Valuer has issued a Company valuation within three (3) months prior to the date upon which the Company becomes entitled to purchase Shares at Fair Market Value pursuant to Section 2.6 (an “Existing Valuation”), such Existing Valuation shall be used to determine the Fair Market Value. Otherwise, the Company shall use reasonable efforts to procure that a Valuer is appointed within thirty (30) calendar days after the valuation request and that such Valuer delivers its valuation (a “New Valuation”) within thirty (30) calendar days from being appointed.

(b) The result of the Existing Valuation or the New Valuation, as applicable, shall be furnished to the Holder (or his/her estate, heirs, beneficiaries or spouse (whether former or not), as the case may be) reasonably promptly once available. The Fair Market Value shall be deemed finally determined when the Holder (or his/her estate, heirs, beneficiaries or spouse (whether former or not), as the case may be) receives such result and shall be final and binding on the parties in the contemplated transfer in absence of manifest and material error or deviation from generally accepted market practice for such valuations in Sweden.

(c) Any costs for a New Valuation shall be borne by the Company.

SHA         7(16)

4. RE-DOMICILIATION

Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if the board of directors of the Company determines that it is in the best interests of the Company and/or the Spotify group, e.g. in connection with a possible IPO, to re-domicile the Company to a jurisdiction other than Luxembourg, whether by operation of law, through a share exchange, whereby the Shares are exchanged for shares of a different entity establishing a new holding company structure, or other re-domiciliation arrangements, and if so requested by the Company in writing, the Holder agrees to take any and all actions reasonably required in order to accomplish such a re-domiciliation, including without limitation executing and delivering all relevant documents, exchanging Shares for shares with equivalent rights in a new entity, voting in favour of such a re-domiciliation at shareholders’ meetings or by written consent, and executing a new shareholders’ agreement on substantially the same terms as this Agreement.

5. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IN CASE OF A MATERIAL BREACH ETC.

5.1 If the Holder commits a Material Breach of any of its obligations under this Agreement, or any agreement (including applicable terms and conditions and any other part of the agreement) governing his/her/its participation in the Company’s incentive programmes, and the Material Breach has not been rectified within fifteen (15) calendar days from the date when he/she/it received a written demand for rectification:

(a) the Holder shall upon written request by the Company pay to it liquidated damages in an aggregated amount corresponding to twenty-five (25) per cent of the aggregate Fair Market Value of all Shares held by him/her/it immediately prior to the breach,

and

(b) the Company shall be entitled to acquire the Holder’s Shares (or designate an Appointee to acquire the Holder’s Shares), in which case the purchase price for the Shares shall be the lower of:

(i) the purchase price paid by the Holder upon acquiring Shares; and

(ii) the Fair Market Value;

provided that the purchase price payable by the Company pursuant to this paragraph (b) shall first be set off against any claim by the Company against the Holder under paragraph (a) and/or other claims as described in Section 5.2.

5.2 The payment by the Holder of any liquidated damages or the Company’s exercise of its right to acquire the Holder’s Shares shall not affect the Company’s right to pursue other remedies that it may have against the Holder as a result of a breach, including claiming additional damages in excess of liquidated damages.

6. CONFIDENTIALITY

6.1 During the term of this Agreement, and for a period of five (5) years thereafter, the Holder may not, without the prior written approval from the Company, publish or otherwise disclose to any third party any information of a confidential nature concerning the Company, or the Spotify group, its business or its shareholders that (i) he/she has received as a result of entering into this Agreement (including the existence and contents of this Agreement) or otherwise being a shareholder of the Company, or (ii) is otherwise of a confidential nature (the “Confidential Information”).
