WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, each of the Coursera Stockholders is the beneficial or record owner of such number of shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, of Coursera (the "Coursera Common Stock") set forth opposite such Coursera Stockholder's name on Exhibit A hereto;

WHEREAS, the consummation of the Merger requires that the Charter Amendment and the Share Issuance be approved by stockholders of Coursera by the Requisite Coursera Vote;

WHEREAS, as a condition and inducement to Udemy entering into the Merger Agreement, Udemy has required that the Coursera Stockholders agree, and the Coursera Stockholders have agreed, to enter into this Agreement and abide by the covenants and obligations with respect to the Covered Coursera Shares (as defined herein); and

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of Coursera (the "Coursera Board") has unanimously approved, adopted and declared advisable the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, understanding that the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Coursera Stockholders is a material inducement and condition to Coursera's willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1
General

Section 1.01. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Merger Agreement in effect on the date hereof. The following terms, as used in this Agreement, shall have the following meanings:

"affiliate" means, with respect to a specified person, any person that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, such specified person. For purposes hereof, Coursera and its Subsidiaries shall be deemed not to be affiliates of the Coursera Stockholders.

"Beneficial Ownership" has the meaning ascribed to such term in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, and a person's beneficial ownership of securities shall be calculated in accordance with the provisions of such Rule (in each case, irrespective of whether or not such Rule is actually applicable in such circumstance). For the avoidance of doubt, Beneficially Own and Beneficial Ownership shall also include record ownership of securities. The terms "Beneficially Own", "Beneficially Owned" and "Beneficial Owner" shall each have a correlative meaning.

"Controlled Affiliate" means, with respect to a Coursera Stockholder, an affiliate of such Coursera Stockholder of which such Coursera Stockholder, directly or indirectly, (i) owns a majority of the outstanding voting equity interests or (ii) has the right to designate or elect a majority of the members of the board of directors or similar governing body. In no event shall Controlled Affiliates of any Coursera Stockholder be deemed to include portfolio companies as such term is commonly understood in the private equity industry; provided that such portfolio company is not acting on behalf or at the direction of any Coursera Stockholder.

"Covered Coursera Shares" means, collectively, Coursera Common Stock and any additional shares of Coursera Common Stock of which such Coursera Stockholder acquires Beneficial Ownership on or after the date hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of any change in the Coursera Common Stock by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, reorganization, stock split (including a reverse stock split) or subdivision or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares (a "Stock Split"), or any stock dividend or stock distribution, merger or other similar change in capitalization, the term "Covered Coursera Shares" shall be deemed to refer to and include such shares as well as all such stock dividends and distributions and any securities into which or for which any or all of such shares may be changed or exchanged or which are received in such transaction.

"Encumbrance" means any security interest, pledge, mortgage, lien (statutory or other), charge, option to purchase, lease, preference or priority right or other right to acquire any interest, or any claim, restriction, covenant, title defect, hypothecation, assignment, deposit arrangement or other encumbrance of any kind (including any conditional sale or other title retention agreement).

"Expiration Date" means the earliest to occur of (i) the Effective Time, (ii) the date on which the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, (iii) the termination of this Agreement by written agreement of all of the parties and (iv) the date on which any amendment to the Merger Agreement is effected, or any waiver of Coursera's rights under the Merger Agreement is granted, in each case, without the Coursera Stockholders' prior written consent, that increases the Exchange Ratio (except as the result of a Stock Split) or changes the form of the Merger Consideration.

2
"Permitted Transfer" means, in each case, with respect to each Coursera Stockholder, any Transfer of Covered Coursera Shares by the Coursera Stockholder (i) to another Coursera Stockholder or to an affiliate of such Coursera Stockholder; (ii) to any charitable foundation or organization, including donor advised funds; (iii) if such Coursera Stockholder is an individual, to any member of such Coursera Stockholder's immediate family, or to a trust for the sole benefit of such Coursera Stockholder or any members of such Coursera Stockholder's immediate family; (iv) in connection with the settlement, exercise, termination or vesting of a Coursera Equity Award held by a Coursera Stockholder to the extent necessary in order to (A) pay, as applicable, the exercise price of such Coursera Equity Award (including on a "net settlement" basis) or (B) satisfy Taxes or Tax withholding obligations applicable thereto; (v) to the extent required by any non-consensual judgement or divorce decree issued after the date hereof or by will, intestacy or other similar applicable Law; or (vi) pursuant to, and in compliance with, a written plan that meets the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act in effect as of, and disclosed in Coursera SEC Reports filed prior to, the date hereof; provided that, in the case of any Transfer pursuant to the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) or (iii), such transferee, as a condition precedent, and prior to, such Transfer, executes and delivers to Udemy a joinder to this Agreement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Udemy, pursuant to which such affiliate agrees to become a party to this Agreement and be subject to the restrictions and obligations applicable to such Coursera Stockholder; provided further that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no Transfer shall relieve the transferring Coursera Stockholder from its obligations under this Agreement except with respect to any Covered Coursera Shares Transferred pursuant to a Permitted Transfer (subject to compliance with Section 4.01(c)).

"Transfer" means (i) any direct or indirect sale, lease, assignment, encumbrance, loan, pledge, grant of a security interest, hypothecation, disposition or other transfer (by operation of law or otherwise) of, any capital stock or interest in any capital stock (or any security convertible or exchangeable into such capital stock), (ii) grant of any voting rights appurtenant thereto or (iii) entry into any option, Contract, arrangement, understanding or commitment (whether or not in writing) to take any of the actions referred to in the foregoing clause (i) or (ii) above; provided, that (A) liens on Covered Coursera Shares in favor of a bank or broker-dealer, in each case holding custody of or otherwise lending against the Covered Coursera Shares in the ordinary course of business, shall not be considered a Transfer hereunder (a "Permitted Pledge"), (B) any hedging or derivative transaction that is designed to manage the economic risks of ownership shall not be considered a Transfer hereunder (provided that no such transaction transfers any voting rights with respect to any Covered Coursera Shares) and (C) any direct or indirect transfer of equity or other interests in the Coursera Stockholder by its equityholders shall not constitute a Transfer (provided, that such transfer does not constitute a change of control of such Coursera Stockholder).

4

(c) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW AT THE TIME OF INSTITUTION OF THE APPLICABLE LITIGATION, ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF THE RELEVANT MATTERS BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT: (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (II) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (III) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (IV) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 5.09(c).

Section 5.10. Express Third-Party Beneficiary; Amendment; Waiver.

(a) Coursera may rely upon this Agreement and enforce the provisions hereof as an intended and express third-party beneficiary.

(b) Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed, in the case of an amendment, by each party to this Agreement and Coursera or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective.

(c) No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by applicable Law.

Section 5.11. Specific Enforcement. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and, accordingly, that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity. Each of the parties hereby further waives (a) any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at Law would be adequate and (b) any requirement under any applicable Law to post security or a bond as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.

Section 5.12. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable Law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or portion of any provision in such jurisdiction, and this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction such that the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion thereof shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.

13
Section 5.13. Successors and Assigns. Other than to a transferee pursuant to a Permitted Transfer (which, for the avoidance of doubt, will not relieve the Transferring Coursera Stockholder of its obligations hereunder except with respect to any Covered Coursera Shares Transferred pursuant to a Permitted Transfer (subject to compliance with Section 4.01(c))), neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations contained herein shall be assigned by a party hereto (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of Udemy and Coursera. Any purported assignment in contravention hereof shall be null and void. Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Other than with respect to Coursera, this Agreement (including the documents and instruments referred to herein) is not intended to, and does not, confer upon any person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder, including the right to rely upon the representations and warranties set forth herein.

Section 5.14. Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such cost or expense.

Section 5.15. No Recourse. Udemy agrees that no Coursera Stockholder shall be liable in his, her or its capacity as a stockholder of Coursera for claims, losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or obligations arising under the Merger Agreement; provided that this sentence will not in any manner limit liability under this Agreement. Except as expressly set forth herein, in no event shall any Coursera Stockholder have any liability under this Agreement with respect to the representations, warranties, liabilities, covenants or obligations of any other stockholder of Coursera whether under this Agreement or any other Coursera Voting Agreement or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action based upon, or arising under, this Agreement may only be brought against, the persons that are expressly named as parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
