Exhibit 10.1
EXECUTION COPY
This Amendment and Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of the ___ day of September, 2019, by and among AMERI Holdings, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), and the undersigned holder of the Existing Warrant (as defined below) (the “Holder”), with reference to the following facts:
A. Pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 25, 2018 (as amended prior to the date hereof, the “Securities Purchase Agreement”),
by and among the Company and the investors signatory thereto (the “Purchasers”), the Company, among other things, issued to the Holder (in its capacity as an Purchaser thereunder), a warrant to purchase
Common Stock (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) initially exercisable into such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock as set forth on the signature page of the holder attached hereto (the “Existing
Warrant”);
B. The Company has duly authorized the issuance to the Holder, in exchange for the Existing Warrant, such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock as set forth on the signature page of the
Holder attached hereto (the “Exchange Shares”) which number represents 65% of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a cash exercise of the Existing Warrant;
C. Each of the Company and the Holder desire to effectuate such exchange on the basis and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement;
D. The exchange of the Existing Warrant for the Exchange Shares is being made in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “Securities Act”);
E. Concurrently herewith, the Company is separately negotiating, and intends to implement, the exchange of warrants to purchase Common Stock issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement
(the “Other Warrants”) that are currently outstanding and held by other Purchasers (the “Other Holders”) into shares of Common Stock (the “Other Exchange Shares”) by entering into agreements (the “Other Agreements”) in the same form as this Agreement (other than proportional changes based upon the difference in aggregate number
of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Other Warrants outstanding and the payment of legal expenses with respect hereto); and
F. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning as set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement (as amended hereby).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Exchange; Participation Rights
(a) Exchange of Securities. On the Effective Date (as defined below), pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Holder hereby agrees to convey, assign and transfer the
Existing Warrant to the Company in exchange for which the Company agrees to issue the Exchange Shares to the Holder by deposit/withdrawal at custodian in accordance with the DWAC instructions on the signature page of the Holder, which Exchange
Shares shall be issued without restricted legend and shall be freely tradable by the Holder (the “Exchange”). As soon as commercially practicable following the Effective Date, the Holder shall deliver or
cause to be delivered to the Company (or its assignee) the Existing Warrant (or affidavit of lost warrant, in form provided upon request by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Holder). Immediately following the delivery of the Exchange
Shares to the Holder (or its assignee), the Holder hereby relinquishes all rights, title and interest in the Existing Warrant (including any claims the Holder may have against the Company related thereto) and assigns the same to the Company and the
Existing Warrant shall be cancelled.
(b) Participation Rights. At any time on or prior to the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the date hereof, neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries shall, directly or indirectly, effect any Subsequent Placement (as defined below) or execute any documents with respect to (or otherwise consummate) any Acquisition Transaction (as defined below) that contemplates a Counterparty
Subsequent Placement (as defined below), in either case, unless the Company shall have first complied with this Section 1(b). The Company acknowledges and agrees that the right set forth in this Section 1(b) is a right granted by the Company, separately, to the Holder and each Other Holder (collectively, the “Holders”).
(i) General
(1) Private Subsequent Placements. At least two (2) Business Days prior to any proposed or intended Subsequent Placement (other than a Registered Subsequent
Placement (as defined below)), the Company shall deliver to each Holder a written notice (each such notice, a “Pre-Notice”), which Pre-Notice shall not contain any information (including, without limitation,
material, non-public information) other than: (A) if the proposed Offer Notice (as defined below) constitutes or contains material, non-public information, a statement asking whether such Holder is willing to accept material non-public information
or (B) if the proposed Offer Notice does not constitute or contain material, non-public information, (x) a statement that the Company (or Acquisition Counterparty, as applicable) proposes or intends to effect a Subsequent Placement, (y) a statement
that the statement in clause (x) above does not constitute material, non-public information and (z) a statement informing such Holder that it is entitled to receive an Offer Notice (as defined below) with respect to such Subsequent Placement upon
its written request. Upon the written request of a Holder within two (2) Business Days after the Company’s delivery to such Holder of such Pre-Notice, and only upon a written request by such Holder, the Company shall promptly, but no later than
one (1) Business Day after such request, deliver to such Holder an irrevocable written notice (the “Offer Notice”) of any proposed or intended issuance or sale or exchange (the “Offer”) of the securities being offered (the “Offered Securities”) in a Subsequent Placement, which Offer Notice shall (A) identify and describe the Offered Securities, (B) describe the price
and other terms upon which they are to be issued, sold or exchanged, and the number or amount of the Offered Securities to be issued, sold or exchanged, (C) identify the Persons (if known) to which or with which the Offered Securities are to be
offered, issued, sold or exchanged and (D) offer to issue and sell to or exchange with such Holder in accordance with the terms of the Offer such Holder’s pro rata portion of 100% of the Offered Securities (which pro rata amount is [ ]% for the
Holder), provided that the number of Offered Securities which such Holder shall have the right to subscribe for under this Section 1(b) shall be (x) based on such Holder’s pro rata portion of the shares of Common Stock issued in the Exchange
hereunder and pursuant to each Other Agreement (the “Basic Amount”), and (y) with respect to each Holder that elects to purchase its Basic Amount, any additional portion of the Offered Securities attributable
to the Basic Amounts of Other Holders as such Holder shall indicate it will purchase or acquire should the Other Holders subscribe for less than their Basic Amounts (the “Undersubscription Amount”), which
process shall be repeated until each Holder shall have an opportunity to subscribe for any remaining Undersubscription Amount.
2
(2) Registered Subsequent Placements. Between the time period of 4:00 pm (New York City time) and 6:00 pm (New York City time) on the Trading Day immediately
prior to the Trading Day of the expected announcement of a Subsequent Placement of an offering of securities of the Company to be issued all, or primarily, pursuant to a registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(each, a “Registered Subsequent Placement”) (or, if the Trading Day of the expected announcement of the Subsequent Placement is the first Trading Day following a holiday or a weekend (including a holiday
weekend), between the time period of 4:00 pm (New York City time) on the Trading Day immediately prior to such holiday or weekend and 2:00 pm (New York City time) on the day immediately prior to the Trading Day of the expected announcement of the
Subsequent Placement), the Company shall deliver to each Holder an Offer Notice with respect to such Registered Subsequent Placement.
(3) Lead Investor; Replacement Requirement; Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a bona fide third party investor (other than a Holder) investing
for its own account (without acting as an underwriter in any manner) (the “Lead Investor”) commits in writing (subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions) to acquire at least 50% of the
Offered Securities (such aggregate portion of the Offered Securities, each, a “Proposed Lead Investor Amount”) with the additional requirement that no Holders participate in such Subsequent Placement (any
such occurrence, a “Replacement Requirement”), the applicable Offer Notice shall certify that a Replacement Requirement exists (and attaching thereto documentation of such written commitment by such Lead
Investor) and specify that for the Holder to be permitted to exercise its participation rights under this Section 1(b) with respect to such Subsequent Placement that the Holders (together with any Permitted Assignee(s)) must, in the aggregate,
replace the Lead Investor’s commitment by subscribing for at least the Proposed Lead Investor Amount of Offered Securities in such Subsequent Placement.
3
(ii) Notice of Acceptance; Undersubscription Rights. To accept an Offer, in whole or in part, such Holder must deliver a written notice to the Company prior to
the end of the later of (A) the second (2nd) Business Day after such Holder’s receipt of the Offer Notice (or, with respect to any Registered Subsequent Placement 6:30 am (New York City time) on the Trading Day following the date on
which the Offer Notice is delivered to such Holder) (as applicable, the “Scheduled Offer Period End Time”) and (B) twenty-four hours after the time of delivery by the Company to the Holder of an applicable
Replacement Deficiency Notice (as applicable, the “Offer Period”), setting forth the portion of such Holder’s Basic Amount that such Holder elects to purchase and, if such Holder shall elect to purchase all
of its Basic Amount, the Undersubscription Amount, if any, that such Holder elects to purchase (in either case, the “Notice of Acceptance”). If the Basic Amounts subscribed for by all Holders are less than
the total of all of the Basic Amounts, then each Holder who has set forth an Undersubscription Amount in its Notice of Acceptance shall be entitled to purchase, in addition to the Basic Amounts subscribed for, the Undersubscription Amount it has
subscribed for; provided, however, if the Undersubscription Amounts subscribed for exceed the difference between the total of all the Basic Amounts and the Basic Amounts subscribed for (the “Available
Undersubscription Amount”), each Holder who has subscribed for any Undersubscription Amount shall be entitled to purchase only that portion of the Available Undersubscription Amount as the Basic Amount of such Holder bears to the total
Basic Amounts of all Holders that have subscribed for Undersubscription Amounts, subject to rounding by the Company to the extent it deems reasonably necessary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company (or Acquisition Counterparty, as
applicable) desires to modify or amend the terms and conditions of the Offer prior to the expiration of the Offer Period, the Company may deliver to each Holder a new Offer Notice and the Offer Period shall expire on the second (2nd)
Business Day after such Holder’s receipt of such new Offer Notice
(iii) Mechanics of Replacement; Permitted Assignees. If an Replacement Requirement exists for the applicable Subsequent Placement and the Holders (together with
any Permitted Assignee(s)), in the aggregate (after giving effect to any subscriptions of Undersubscription Amounts), fail to subscribe for at least Proposed Lead Investor Amount (each, an “Replacement Deficiency”),
the Company shall, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than one hour after the applicable Scheduled Offer Period End Time, deliver a written notice to each Holder specifying that (x) the Replacement Requirement has not been met and (y)
the required additional subscriptions necessary to reach the Proposed Lead Investor Amount (each, a “Replacement Deficiency Notice”). If the Company fails to timely deliver a Replacement Deficiency Notice to
each of the Holders in accordance herewith, the Company shall automatically be deemed to have waived such Replacement Deficiency and such Replacement Deficiency shall no longer be deemed to exist for such Subsequent Placement hereunder. If an
Replacement Deficiency exists, each Holder shall have the right to assign to any Person (each, a “Participation Assignment”, and any such Person, a “Permitted Assignee”),
in whole or in part, any of such Holder’s rights hereunder with respect to all, or any part, of any Basic Amount or Undersubscription Amount, as applicable, solely with respect to such Subsequent Placement, as necessary to cause the Holders
(together with such Permitted Assignee(s)), in the aggregate, to satisfy the applicable Replacement Requirement; provided, that in addition to such Participation Assignment, any Person desiring to be a Permitted Assignee must also deliver a Notice
of Acceptance to the Company with respect to such Subsequent Placement during the applicable Offer Period to become a Permitted Assignee hereunder for such Subsequent Placement. For the avoidance of doubt, (A) solely to the extent no Replacement
Deficiency exists with respect to the applicable Subsequent Placement at the end of the applicable Offer Period, each Permitted Assignee of the Holder shall have all the rights of the Holder under this Section 1(b) transferred pursuant to such
Participation Assignments with respect to such Subsequent Placement as if such Permitted Assignee was the “Holder” hereunder with respect thereto, (B) any Participation Assignment by the Holder shall apply solely to the Subsequent Placement in
which such Participation Assignment is made and not with respect to any other Subsequent Placement and (C) any Participation Assignment by the Holder shall apply solely with respect to such Basic Amount and/or Undersubscription Amount, as
applicable, assigned in such Participation Assignment and not with respect to any Basic Amount and/or Undersubscription Amount retained by the Holder with respect to such Subsequent Placement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if by
the end of the applicable Offer Period an Replacement Deficiency still exists and the Company (or Acquisition Counterparty, as applicable) does not modify or amend the terms and conditions of the Offer, the Company (or Acquisition Counterparty, as
applicable) shall have no further obligation hereunder to sell all, or any part, of the Offered Securities to the Holders with respect to such Subsequent Placement. The Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Holder may discuss
confidential matters with respect to the proposed Subsequent Placement with potential Permitted Assignees without violating the terms or conditions of any confidentiality agreement by and between the Company (and/or its agents) and the Holder then
in effect.
4
(iv) Refused Securities. The Company (or Acquisition Counterparty, as applicable) shall have two (2) Business Days from the expiration of the Offer Period above
(A) to offer, issue, sell or exchange all or any part of such Offered Securities as to which a Notice of Acceptance has not been given by a Holder (the “Refused Securities”) pursuant to a definitive
agreement(s) (the “Subsequent Placement Agreement”), but only to the offerees described in the Offer Notice (if so described therein) and only upon terms and conditions (including, without limitation, unit
prices and interest rates) that are not more favorable to the acquiring Person or Persons or less favorable to the Company than those set forth in the Offer Notice and (B) to publicly announce (x) the execution of such Subsequent Placement
Agreement, and (y) either (I) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such Subsequent Placement Agreement or (II) the termination of such Subsequent Placement Agreement, which shall be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “SEC”) on a Current Report on Form 8-K with such Subsequent Placement Agreement and any documents contemplated therein filed as exhibits thereto.
(v) Offering Size Reductions. In the event the Company (or Acquisition Counterparty, as applicable) shall propose to sell less than
all the Refused Securities (any such sale to be in the manner and on the terms specified in Section 1(b)(iv) above), then each Holder may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion, withdraw its Notice of Acceptance
or reduce the number or amount of the Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance to an amount that shall be not less than the number or amount of the Offered Securities that such Holder elected to purchase pursuant to Section 1(b)(iii) above multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the number or amount of Offered Securities the Company (or Acquisition Counterparty, as applicable) actually proposes to issue, sell or
exchange (including Offered Securities to be issued or sold to Holders pursuant to this Section 1(b) prior to such reduction) and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the original amount of the Offered Securities. In
the event that any Holder so elects to reduce the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance, the Company (or Acquisition Counterparty, as applicable) may not issue, sell or exchange more than the reduced number or
amount of the Offered Securities unless and until such securities have again been offered to the Holders in accordance with Section 1(b)(ii) above.
5
(vi) Closing; Definitive Documents. Upon the closing of the issuance, sale or exchange of all or less than all of the Refused Securities, such Holder shall acquire
from the Company (or Acquisition Counterparty, as applicable), and the Company (or Acquisition Counterparty, as applicable) shall issue to such Holder, the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance, as reduced
pursuant to Section 1(b)(v) above if such Holder has so elected, upon the terms and conditions specified in the Offer. The purchase by such Holder of any Offered Securities is subject in all cases to the preparation, execution and delivery by the
Company (or Acquisition Counterparty, as applicable) and such Holder of a separate purchase agreement relating to such Offered Securities reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to such Holder and its counsel.
(vii) Reoffering of Securities. Any Offered Securities not acquired by a Holder or other Persons in accordance with this Section 1(b) may not be issued, sold or exchanged until they are again offered to such Holder under the procedures specified in this Agreement.
(viii) No Trading Restrictions. The Company and each Holder agree that if any Holder elects to participate in the Offer, neither the
Subsequent Placement Agreement with respect to such Offer nor any other transaction documents related thereto (collectively, the “Subsequent Placement Documents”) shall include any term or provision whereby
such Holder shall be required to agree to any restrictions on trading as to any securities of the Company or any other Person or be required to consent to any amendment to or termination of, or grant any waiver, release or the like under or in
connection with, any agreement previously entered into with the Company or any other Person or any instrument received from the Company or any other Person.
(ix) Abandonment; Cleansing of Material Non-Public Information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1(b) and unless otherwise agreed to by such Holder, the Company shall either confirm in writing to such Holder that the transaction with respect to the Subsequent Placement has been abandoned or shall publicly
disclose its intention to issue the Offered Securities, in either case, in such a manner such that such Holder will not be in possession of any material, non-public information, by the second (2nd) Business Day following delivery of the Offer
Notice (or, with respect to any Registered Subsequent Placement by 9:30 am (New York City time) on the Trading Day following the date on which the Offer Notice is delivered to such Holder) (as applicable, the “Cleansing
Time”). If by such Cleansing Time, no public disclosure regarding a transaction with respect to the Offered Securities has been made, and no notice regarding the abandonment of such transaction has been received by such Holder, such
transaction shall be deemed to have been abandoned and such Holder shall not be in possession of any material, non-public information with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Should the Company (or Acquisition Counterparty, as
applicable) decide to pursue such transaction with respect to the Offered Securities, the Company shall provide such Holder with another Offer Notice and such Holder will again have the right of participation set forth in this Section 1(b). The Company shall not be permitted to deliver more than one such Offer Notice to such Holder in any sixty (60) day period, except as expressly contemplated by the last sentence of Section
1(b)(iii).
6
(x) Excluded Transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions contained in this Section 1(b) shall not apply in
connection with (A) shares of Common Stock or options to employees, officers or directors or consultants of the Company pursuant to any stock or option plan duly adopted for such purpose, by a majority of the non-employee members of the Board of
Directors or a majority of the members of a committee of non-employee directors established for such purpose for services rendered to the Company or (B) securities upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of any Common Stock Equivalents
and/or other securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the date of this Agreement, provided that such securities have not been amended since the date of this Agreement to
increase the number of such securities or to decrease the exercise price, exchange price or conversion price of such securities (other than in connection with stock splits or combinations) or to extend the term of such securities (collectively, the
“Excluded Securities”). The Company shall not circumvent the provisions of this Section 1(b) by providing terms or conditions to one Holder that are not provided to all.
(xi) For purposes of this Section 1(b), “Subsequent Placement” means (A) any direct or indirect issuance, offer, sale, grant any
option or right to purchase, or otherwise disposition of (or announcement of any issuance, offer, sale, grant of any option or right to purchase or other disposition of) by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of any equity security or any
equity-linked or related security (including, without limitation, any “equity security” (as that term is defined under Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act), any Common Stock, any Common Stock Equivalents, any debt, any preferred stock or
any purchase rights) or (B) with respect to any acquisition, merger or other similar transaction in which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is, directly or indirectly, a part (each, an “Acquisition Transaction”),
any direct or indirect issuance, offer, sale, grant any option or right to purchase, or otherwise disposition of (or announcement of any issuance, offer, sale, grant of any option or right to purchase or other disposition of) by any Person (or any

purchase, or other such disposition, as applicable, during the period commencing three months prior to the time of execution of any agreement by and between any Acquisition Counterparty and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries through, and
including, three months after the closing of such Acquisition Transaction).

reasonably necessary to effectuate the Exchange.

supplements or amendments to registration statements that are outstanding and have been declared effective by the SEC as of the date hereof (solely to the extent necessary to keep such registration statements effective and available and not with
respect to any Subsequent Placement)); or

Agreement, this Agreement shall be terminated and be null and void ab initio and the Existing Warrant shall not be cancelled hereunder and shall remain outstanding as if this Agreement never existed.
13. Most Favored Nation. The Company hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof and covenants and agrees from and after the date
hereof that none of the terms offered to any Person with respect to any consent, release, amendment, settlement or waiver relating to any Other Warrant or the terms, conditions and transactions contemplated hereby or by any Other Agreement (each a
“Settlement Document”), is or will be more favorable to such Person than those of the Holder and this Agreement. If, and whenever on or after the date hereof, the Company enters into a Settlement Document,
then (i) the Company shall provide notice thereof to the Holder immediately following the occurrence thereof and (ii) the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be, without any further action by the Holder or the Company, automatically
amended and modified in an economically and legally equivalent manner such that the Holder shall receive the benefit of the more favorable terms and/or conditions (as the case may be) set forth in such Settlement Document, provided that upon
written notice to the Company at any time the Holder may elect not to accept the benefit of any such amended or modified term or condition, in which event the term or condition contained in this Agreement shall apply to the Holder as it was in
effect immediately prior to such amendment or modification as if such amendment or modification never occurred with respect to the Holder. The provisions of this Section 13 shall apply similarly and equally to each Settlement Document.
14. Independent Nature of Holder’s Obligations and Rights. The obligations of the Holder under this
Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any Other Holder, and the Holder shall not be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any Other Holder under any Other Agreement. Nothing contained herein or in
any Other Agreement, and no action taken by the Holder pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holder and Other Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the
Holder and Other Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Other Agreement and the Company acknowledges that, to the best of its knowledge, the
Holder and the Other Holders are not acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Other Agreement. The Company and the Holder confirm that the Holder has independently
participated in the negotiation of the transactions contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors. The Holder shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights
arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any Other Holder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

15. Miscellaneous. Section 5 of the Securities Purchase Agreement is hereby incorporated by reference herein, mutatis mutandis. Notwithstanding anything set forth in Section 5 of the Securities Purchase Agreement to the contrary, the rights under Section 1(b) of the Holder hereunder may be assigned, in whole or in part, to a Permitted
Assignee pursuant to a Participation Assignment in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 1(b) without the prior written consent of the Company.
