EXHIBIT 10.4
[ ], 2019
[ ] (the “Undersigned”), for itself and on behalf of the beneficial owners listed on Exhibit A hereto (the “Accounts”) for whom the Undersigned holds contractual and investment authority (each Account, as well as the Undersigned if it is exchanging Outstanding Notes (as defined below) hereunder, a “Holder”), enters into this Exchange Agreement (this “Agreement”) with PROS Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), as of the date first written above whereby the Holders will exchange the Exchanged Notes (as defined below) for a combination of shares of the common stock, par value $0.001, of the Company (“Exchange Shares”) and cash (“Exchange Cash” and, together with Exchange Shares, the “Exchange Consideration”), as set forth on Exhibit A hereto.
On and subject to the terms hereof, the parties hereto agree as follows:
Article I
Exchange
Section 1.1 Exchange. Upon and subject to the terms set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing (as defined herein), the Undersigned hereby agrees to cause each Holder to deliver to the Company the aggregate principal amount of the Company’s outstanding 2.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2019 (such principal amount of notes, the “Outstanding Notes”) specified for such Holder on Exhibit A under the heading “Exchanged Notes” in exchange for, and the Company hereby agrees to issue to such Holder, the Exchange Consideration specified for such Holder on Exhibit A under the heading “Exchange Consideration”, plus an amount in cash equal to the accrued and unpaid interest in respect of such Holder’s Exchanged Notes from, and including, the most recent date on which interest thereon was paid, to the date of Closing, as set forth on Exhibit A (“Accrued Interest”). The Outstanding Notes delivered to the Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement in exchange for the Exchange Consideration are referred to herein as the “Exchanged Notes.” The transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the issuance, delivery and acceptance of the Exchange Consideration and the exchange and sale of the Exchanged Notes are collectively referred to herein as the “Transactions.”
Section 1.2 Closing. Subject to the satisfaction (or waiver by the applicable parties) of the conditions set forth in Section 4.1 below, the closing of the Transactions (the “Closing”) will take place at the offices of DLA Piper LLP (US), counsel to the Company, on [__________], 2019 or on such other date and at such other place as the parties may agree in writing.
At the Closing, (a) each Holder shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Company all right, title and interest in and to its Exchanged Notes as specified on Exhibit A hereto, free and clear of any mortgage, lien, pledge, charge, security interest, encumbrance, title retention agreement, option, equity or other adverse claim thereto (collectively, “Liens”), together with any documents of conveyance or transfer that the Company may deem necessary or desirable to transfer to and confirm in the Company all right, title and interest in and to the Exchanged Notes, free and clear of any Liens (no later than 12:00 noon on the day of Closing), and (b) (i) the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to each Holder the Exchange Cash and the Accrued Interest as specified on, and pursuant to the wire instructions provided by each Holder on, Exhibit B hereto, and (ii) the Company shall deliver to each Holder the number of Exchange Shares specified for such Holder on Exhibit A hereto as specified on, and pursuant to the delivery instructions provided by each Holder on, Exhibit B hereto; provided, that the parties acknowledge that the delivery of the Exchange Shares may be delayed due to procedures and mechanics within the system of The Depository Trust Company or the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) (including the procedures and mechanics regarding the listing of the Exchange Shares on such exchange) or other events beyond the Company’s control and that such delay will not be a default under this Agreement so long as the Company is using its reasonable best efforts to effect the issuance of the Exchange Shares.
For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of any delay in the Closing pursuant to the prior sentence the Holders shall not be required to deliver the Exchanged Notes until the Closing occurs. The Company may at any time (whether before, simultaneously with or after the Closing) deliver Exchange Consideration to one or more other holders of Outstanding Notes or to other investors (any such issuances pursuant to agreements dated as of the date hereof, the “Aggregated Transactions”). The delivery and cancellation of the Exchanged Notes shall be effected through one-sided Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) withdrawal instructions arranged by, and entered on behalf of, the Holders to The Depository Trust Company (DTC).
Article II

Each Holder (and, where specified below, the Undersigned) hereby covenants as follows, and makes the following representations and warranties, each of which is and shall be true and correct on the date hereof and at the Closing, to the Company and Xxxxxxx Xxxxx LLP (the “Exchange Agent”), and all such covenants, representations and warranties shall survive the Closing.

Each of the Undersigned and each Holder is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of formation, and the Undersigned has the power, authority and capacity to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder, and to consummate the Transactions. If the Undersigned is executing this Agreement on behalf of Accounts, (a) the Undersigned has all requisite discretionary and contractual authority to enter into this Agreement on behalf of, and bind, each Account, and (b) Exhibit A hereto is a true, correct and complete list of (i) the name of each Account, (ii) the principal amount of such Account’s Outstanding Notes and (iii) the number of Exchange Shares to be issued to such Holder and the amount of Exchange Cash to be delivered to such Holder in respect of its Exchanged Notes.
Section 2.2 Valid and Enforceable Agreement; No Violations. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Undersigned and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Undersigned, enforceable against the Undersigned in accordance with its terms, except that such enforcement may be subject to (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting or relating to enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and (b) general principles of equity, whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity (the “Enforceability Exceptions”). This Agreement and consummation of the Transactions will not violate, conflict with or result in a breach of or default under (i) the Undersigned or the applicable Holder’s organizational documents (or any similar documents governing each Account), (ii) any agreement or instrument to which the Undersigned or the applicable Holder is a party or by which the Undersigned or the applicable Holder or any of their respective assets are bound, or (iii) any laws, regulations or governmental or judicial decrees, injunctions or orders applicable to the Undersigned or the applicable Holder. No consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any court or arbitrator or governmental or regulatory authority is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Holders of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions.
Section 2.3 Title to the Exchanged Notes. (a) Each Holder is the sole legal and beneficial owner of the Exchanged Notes (including any Accrued Interest) set forth opposite its name on Exhibit A hereto; (b) each Holder has good, valid and marketable title to its Exchanged Notes, free and clear of any Liens (other than pledges or security interests that such Holder may have created in favor of a prime broker under and in accordance with its prime brokerage agreement with such broker); (c) no Holder has, in whole or in part, except as described in the preceding clause (b), (i) assigned, transferred, hypothecated, pledged, exchanged or otherwise disposed of any of its Exchanged Notes or its rights, title or interest in or to its Exchanged Notes or (ii) given any person or entity (other than the Undersigned) any transfer order, power of attorney or other authority of any nature whatsoever with respect to its Exchanged Notes; and (d) upon each Holder’s delivery of its Exchanged Notes to the Company pursuant to the Transactions, such Exchanged Notes shall be free and clear of all Liens.

Section 2.4 Qualified Institutional Buyer. Each Holder is a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Each Holder is
acquiring the Exchange Shares solely for its own respective account, for investment purposes, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution of the Exchange Shares in a manner that would violate the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
Section 2.5 Full Satisfaction of Obligations under the Notes. Each Holder acknowledges that upon issuance of the Exchange Consideration, the obligations of the Company to the Holder under the Exchanged Notes have been satisfied in full.

To each Holder’s knowledge, such Holder did not acquire any of the Exchanged Notes, directly or indirectly, from an Affiliate of the Company.
Section 2.7 No Illegal Transactions. Each of the Undersigned and each Holder has not, directly or indirectly, and no person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with it has, disclosed to a third party any information regarding the Transactions nor engaged in any transactions in the securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any Short Sales (as defined below) involving any of the Company’s securities) since the time that the Undersigned was first contacted by either the Company, the Exchange Agent or any other person regarding the Aggregated Transactions, this Agreement or an investment in the Exchange Shares or the Company. Each of the Undersigned and the Holder covenants that neither it nor any person acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it shall disclose to a third party any information regarding the Transactions or engage, directly or indirectly, in any transactions in the securities of the Company (including Short Sales) prior to the time the Aggregated Transactions are publicly disclosed by the Company. “Short Sales” include all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and all types of direct and indirect stock pledges, forward sale contracts, options, puts, calls, short sales, swaps, derivatives and similar arrangements (including on a total return basis), and sales and other transactions through non-U.S. broker-dealers or foreign regulated brokers. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.7, subject to the Undersigned’s and each Holder’s compliance with their respective obligations under the U.S. federal securities laws and the Undersigned’s and such Holder’s respective internal policies, (a) “Undersigned” and “Holder” shall not be deemed to include any employees, subsidiaries, desks, groups or Affiliates of the Undersigned or the applicable Holder that are effectively walled off by appropriate “Fire Wall” information barriers approved by the Undersigned’s or such Holder’s respective legal or compliance department (and thus such walled off parties have not been privy to any information concerning the Aggregated Transactions), and (b) the foregoing representations and covenants of this Section 2.7 shall not apply to any transaction by or on behalf of an Account that was effected without the advice or participation of, or such Account’s receipt of information regarding the Aggregated Transactions provided by, the Undersigned or the applicable Holder.
Section 2.8 Adequate Information; No Reliance.

The Undersigned acknowledges and agrees on behalf of itself and each Holder that (a) the Undersigned has been furnished with all materials it considers relevant to making an investment decision to enter into the Transactions and has had the opportunity to review the Company’s filings and submissions with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including, without limitation, all information filed or furnished pursuant to the Exchange Act, (b) the Undersigned has had a full opportunity to ask questions of the Company concerning the Company, its business, operations, financial performance, financial condition and prospects and the terms and conditions of the Transactions, (c) the Undersigned and each Holder has had the opportunity to consult with their respective accounting, tax, financial and legal advisors to be able to evaluate the risks involved in the Transactions and to make an informed investment decision with respect to such Transactions, (d) each Holder has evaluated the tax and other consequences of the Transactions and ownership of the Exchange Shares with its tax, accounting or legal advisors, including the consequences to such Holder of the issuance of the Exchange Shares with significant original issue discount for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, (e) neither the Company nor the Exchange Agent is acting as a fiduciary or financial or investment advisor to the Undersigned or any Holder, (f) neither the Undersigned nor any Holder is relying, and none of them has relied, upon any statement, advice (whether accounting, tax, financial, legal or other), representation or warranty made by the Company or any of its Affiliates or representatives including, without limitation, the Exchange Agent, except for (i) the publicly available filings and submissions made by the Company with the SEC under the
Exchange Act and (ii) the representations and warranties made by the Company in this Agreement and (g) none of the Exchange Agent, any of its affiliates or any of its control persons, officers, directors or employees shall be liable to the Holders in connection with the Transactions. Each of the Undersigned and each Holder is able to fend for itself in the Transactions; has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its prospective investment in the Exchange Shares; has the ability to bear the economic risks of its prospective investment and can afford the complete loss of such investment; and acknowledges that investment in the Exchange Shares involves a high degree of risk.
