Exhibit 10.1
EXCHANGE RIGHT AGREEMENT
This Exchange Right Agreement (the “Agreement”) is dated as of August 14, 2017, by and between Inpixon, Inc., a Nevada Company (the “Company”) and the holder identified on the signature page hereto (the “Holder”).
WHEREAS, the Holder holds 1,850 shares (“Preferred Shares”) of the Company’s Series 2 Convertible Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”) with such terms and rights set forth in the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of the Series 2 Convertible Preferred Stock, filed with the State of Nevada on June 29, 2017 (the “Certificate of Designation”), representing all of the Company’s issued and outstanding Series 2 Convertible Preferred Stock, which Preferred Shares are convertible into a number of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) that is equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the Stated Value (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) by $1.05 for an aggregate of 1,719,048 shares of Common Stock (“Conversion Shares”); and
WHEREAS, the Preferred Shares have been registered pursuant to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-218173) declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on June 28, 2017 (the “Registration Statement”); and
WHEREAS, for the mutual benefit of the Company and the Holder, the Company desired to grant the Holder with a right to exchange the Preferred Shares owned by it for shares of Common Stock (the “Exchange”) issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) provided that the exchange rate for each Preferred Share shall be a number of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the Stated Value (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) by $0.33 (subject to adjustment for forward and reverse stock splits and the like) (the “Exchange Rate”) for up to an aggregate of 5,606,061 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment for forward and reverse stock splits and the like) (the “Exchange Shares”); and
WHEREAS, following each exchange of Preferred Shares for Exchange Shares in accordance with this Agreement, the Preferred Shares that have been exchanged shall be cancelled and the Holder shall have no further rights under such Preferred Shares.
NOW, THEREFORE, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Company and the Holder have agreed as follows:
1. Exchange. From the date hereof until the date that the Preferred Shares are no longer outstanding (the “Closing”), in lieu of conversion at the Conversion Price set forth in Section 6 of the Certificate of Designation, upon the delivery of a notice of exchange in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exchange Notice”) the Holder shall have the right to exchange the Preferred Shares for the Exchange Shares at the Exchange Rate (as adjusted for any stock split, reverse stock split, reclassification or similar transaction). The Exchange Shares issued in exchange for the registered Preferred Shares are freely tradeable and will be issued without the need for registration under the Securities Act and shall not be required to bear any Securities Act legend. Neither the Holder nor the Company (nor any of their Affiliates (as defined herein) nor any person acting on behalf of or for the benefit of any of the foregoing), has paid or given, or agreed to pay or give, directly or indirectly, any commission or other remuneration (within the meaning of Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder) for soliciting the Exchange.
2. No Consideration. The Exchange Shares shall be issued to the Holder in exchange for the Preferred Shares without the payment of any other consideration by the Holder that would not be consistent with the application of Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act to the issuance of the Exchange Shares. The Holder hereby agrees that, upon and subject to the Closing, all of the Company’s obligations under the terms and conditions of the Preferred Shares shall be automatically cancelled in full without any further action required, and that this Section 2 shall constitute an instrument of cancellation of such Preferred Shares.
3. Mechanics of Exchange.
i. Delivery of Exchange Shares Upon Exchange. Not later than the earlier of (i) three (3) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined below) after each date of Exchange (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Holder (A) the number of Exchange Shares being acquired upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock, which Exchange Shares shall be free of restrictive legends. The Company shall use its best efforts to deliver the Exchange Shares required to be delivered by the Company under this Section 3(i) electronically through the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or another established clearing company performing similar functions. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s principal Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of the Exchange Notice. For purposes of this Agreement, “Trading Day” means a day on which the principal Trading Market is open for business and “Trading Market” means any of the following markets or exchanges on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted for trading on the date in question: the NYSE MKT, the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, or the New York Stock Exchange (or any successors to any of the foregoing).
ii. Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Exchange Shares Upon Exchange. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails for any reason to deliver to a Holder the applicable Exchange Shares and the related legal opinion of Company counsel, the instruction letter to the Company’s transfer agent and the resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company authorizing this Agreement and other supporting documentation by the Share Delivery Date pursuant to Section 3(i), and if after such Share Delivery Date such Holder is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise), or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of the Exchange Shares which such Holder was entitled to receive upon the exchange relating to such Share Delivery Date (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to such Holder (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by such Holder) the amount, if any, by which (x) such Holder’s total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder was entitled to receive from the exchange at issue multiplied by (2) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions) and (B) at the option of such Holder, either reissue (if surrendered) the Preferred Shares equal to the number of Preferred Shares submitted for exchange (in which case, such exchange shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if the Company had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 3(i). For example, if a Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exchange of Preferred Shares with respect to which the actual sale price of the Exchange Shares (including any brokerage commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total of $10,000 under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall be required to pay such Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to such Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver the Exchange Shares upon exchange of the Preferred Shares as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
2 |
iii. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exchange of the Preferred Shares. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to acquire upon such exchange, the Company shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by $0.33 (subject to adjustment for forward and reverse stock splits and the like) or round up to the next whole share.
iv. Transfer Taxes and Expenses. The issuance of Exchange Shares on exchange of the Preferred Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such Exchange Shares, provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such Exchange Shares upon exchange in a name other than that of the Holder of such Preferred Shares and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such Exchange Shares unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid. The Company shall pay all transfer agent fees required for same-day processing of any Exchange Notice and all fees to the DTC (or another established clearing company performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Exchange Shares.
v. Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall not effect any exchange of the Preferred Shares, and the Holder shall not have the right to exchange any Preferred Shares, to the extent that, after giving effect to the exchange set forth on the applicable Exchange Notice, such Holder (together with any Affiliate of the Holder) For purposes of this Agreement “Affiliate” shall mean any person that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by or is under common control with any person, as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 405 of the Securities Act, and any persons acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holder’s Affiliates (such persons, “Attribution Parties”) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exchange of the Preferred Shares with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (i) exchange of the remaining, not exchanged Stated Value of Preferred Shares beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein (including, without limitation, the Preferred Shares) beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 3(v), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 3(v) applies, the determination of whether the Preferred Shares are exchangeable (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) shall be in the sole discretion of such Holder, and the submission of a an Exchange Notice shall be deemed to be such Holder’s determination of whether the Preferred Shares may be exchanged (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and how many Preferred Shares are exchangeable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction, each Holder will be deemed to represent to the Company each time it delivers an Exchange Notice that such exchange will not violate the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such representation. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 3(v), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (iii) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request (which may be via email) of the Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including the exchange of the Preferred Shares, by such Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exchange of the Preferred Shares held by the Holder. A Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 3(iv) applicable to its Preferred Shares provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Preferred Stock held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 3(v) shall continue to apply. Any such increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 3(v) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.
