THE SEPARATION
Β
Section 2.1Β General. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Parties shall use, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to use, their respective commercially reasonable efforts to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including the completion of the Internal Reorganization, a portion of which may have already been implemented prior to the date hereof.
Β
Section 2.2Β Restructuring: Transfer of Assets; Assumption of Liabilities.
Β
(a)Β Internal Reorganization. Prior to the Distribution Time, except for Transfers contemplated by the Internal Reorganization or this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements to occur after the Distribution Time, the Parties shall complete the Internal Reorganization, including by taking the actions referred to in Sectionsβ―2.2(b)β―and 2.2(c)β―below.
Β
20
Β
Β
(b)Β Transfer of Assets. At or prior to the Distribution Time (it being understood that some of such Transfers may occur following the Distribution Time in accordance with Section 2.2(a) and Sectionβ―2.6), pursuant to the Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments and in connection with the Contribution:
Β
(i)Β Transfer of Enterprise App Assets. Inpixon shall, and shall cause the applicable members of the Inpixon Group to transfer, contribute, assign and/or convey or cause to be transferred, contributed, assigned and/or conveyed (βTransferβ) to Spinco, all of its right, title and interest in and to the Enterprise App Assets, and Spinco shall accept from Inpixon and the applicable members of the Inpixon Group all of Inpixonβs and the other members of the Inpixon Groupβs respective direct or indirect rights, title and interest in and to the applicable Assets, including all of the outstanding shares of capital stock or other ownership interests, that are included in the Enterprise Apps Assets (it being understood that if any Enterprise Apps Asset shall be held by a Transferred Entity or a wholly owned Subsidiary of a Transferred Entity, such Enterprise Apps Asset may be transferred, contributed, assigned and/or conveyed to Spinco as a result of the transfer of all of Inpixonβs equity interests in such Transferred Entity from Inpixon or the applicable members of the Inpixon Group to Design Reactor or the applicable Enterprise Apps Asset Transferees). Notwithstanding the foregoing, purely as a matter of administrative convenience, Spinco may direct the Inpixon Group to transfer, contribute, assign and convey certain Enterprise App Assets directly to Design Reactor or another subsidiary of Spinco (through formal assignments of the right to receive such Enterprise App Assets). Even if such direct assignment occurs for administrative convenience, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Inpixon Group shall have legally contributed the Enterprise App Assets to Spinco, followed by the drop down of the Enterprise App Assets by Spinco to Design Reactor, and agree to consistently report the steps pursuant to the description immediately above.
Β
(ii)Β Transfer of Inpixon Retained Assets. Spinco and Design Reactor shall, and shall cause the applicable members of the CXApp Group to Transfer to Inpixon or certain members of the Inpixon Group designated by Inpixon, all of its right, title and interest in and to the Inpixon Retained Assets, and Inpixon or the applicable members of the Inpixon Group shall accept from Spinco and Design Reactor and the applicable members of the CXApp Group all of Design Reactorβs and the other members of the CXApp Groupβs respective direct or indirect rights, title and interest in and to the applicable Assets.
Β
(iii)Β Any costs and expenses incurred after the Distribution Time to effect any Transfer contemplated by this Sectionβ―2.2(b)β―(including any transfer effected pursuant to Sectionβ―2.6) shall be paid by the Parties as set forth in Sectionβ―9.5. Other than costs and expenses incurred in accordance with the foregoing sentence, nothing in this Sectionβ―2.2(b)β―shall require any member of any Group to incur any material obligation or grant any material concession for the benefit of any member of any other Group in order to effect any transaction contemplated by this Sectionβ―2.2(b).
Β
For the avoidance of doubt any Enterprise Apps Assets already held by the CXApp Group and any Inpixon Retained Assets already held by the Inpixon Group in each case immediately prior to the Internal Reorganization shall not need to be Transferred and, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement shall remain with the CXApp Group or the Inpixon Group prior to and following the Distribution Time.
Β
(c)Β Assumption of Liabilities. Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, from and after, the Distribution Time (i)β―pursuant to this Agreement or the applicable Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments, Spinco shall accept, assume (or, as applicable, retain) and perform, discharge and fulfill, in accordance with their respective terms (βAssumeβ), all of the Enterprise Apps Liabilities and (ii)β―pursuant to this Agreement or the applicable Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments, Inpixon shall, or shall cause a member of the Inpixon Group to, Assume all of the Inpixon Retained Liabilities, in each case, regardless of (A)β―when or where such Liabilities arose or arise, (B)β―whether the facts upon which they are based occurred prior to, at or subsequent to the Distribution Time, (C)β―whether accruals for such Liabilities have been transferred to Design Reactor or the Enterprise Apps Transferees or included on a combined balance sheet of the Enterprise Apps Business or whether any such accruals are sufficient to cover such Liabilities, (D)β―where or against whom such Liabilities are asserted or determined, (E)β―whether arising from or alleged to arise from negligence, gross negligence, recklessness, violation of Law, fraud or misrepresentation by any member of the Inpixon Group or the CXApp Group, as the case may be, or any of their past or present respective directors, officers, employees, agents, Subsidiaries or Affiliates, (F)β―which entity is named in any Action associated with any Liability, or (G)β―any benefits, or lack thereof, that have been or may be obtained by the Inpixon Group or the CXApp Group in respect of such Liabilities.
Β
21
Β
Β
(d)Β Consents. The Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Consents required to Transfer any Assets, Contracts, licenses, permits and authorizations issued by any Governmental Entity or parts thereof as contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Contract or other Asset shall be transferred if it would violate applicable Law or, in the case of any Contract, the rights of any third party to such Contract; provided that Sectionβ―2.6, to the extent provided therein, shall apply thereto. The foregoing shall not preclude Design Reactor or any member of the CXApp Group from disputing in good faith with any third party (other than Inpixon or any member of the Inpixon Group) the validity of any Enterprise Apps Liabilities or raising any available defenses in connection therewith.
Β
(e)Β It is understood and agreed by the Parties that certain of the Transfers referenced in Sectionβ―2.2(b)β―or Assumptions referenced in Sectionβ―2.2(c)β―have occurred prior to the date hereof and, as a result, no additional Transfers or Assumptions by any member of the Inpixon Group or the CXApp Group, as applicable, shall be deemed to occur upon the execution of this Agreement with respect thereto. Moreover, to the extent that any member of the Inpixon Group or the CXApp Group, as applicable, is liable for any Inpixon Retained Liability or Enterprise Apps Liability, respectively, by operation of Law immediately following any Transfer in accordance with this Agreement or any Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments, there shall be no need for any other member of the Inpixon Group or the CXApp Group, as applicable, to Assume such Liability in connection with the operation of Sectionβ―2.2(c)β―and, accordingly, no other member of such Group shall Assume any such Liability in connection with Sectionβ―2.2(c).
Β
Section 2.3Β Treatment of Shared Contracts. Without limiting the generality of the obligations set forth in Sectionsβ―2.2(a)β―and (b):
Β
(a)Β Unless the Parties otherwise agree or the benefits of any Contract described in this Sectionβ―2.3 are expressly conveyed to the applicable Party pursuant to an Ancillary Agreement, and other than as provided by Articleβ―VIII, any Contract that is listed on Scheduleβ―2.3(a)β―(a βShared Contractβ) shall be assigned in part to the applicable member(s)β―of the applicable Group, if so assignable, or appropriately amended prior to, at or after the Distribution Time, so that each Party or the members of their respective Groups as of the Distribution Time shall be entitled to the rights and benefits, and shall Assume the related portion of any Liabilities, inuring to their respective Businesses; provided, however, that (x)β―in no event shall any member of any Group be required to assign (or amend) any Shared Contract in its entirety or to assign a portion of any Shared Contract which is not assignable (or cannot be amended) by its terms (including any terms imposing consents or conditions on an assignment where such consents or conditions have not been obtained or fulfilled, subject to Sectionβ―2.2(d)), and (y)β―if any Shared Contract cannot be so partially assigned by its terms or otherwise, cannot be amended or has not for any other reason been assigned or amended, or if such assignment or amendment would impair the benefit the parties thereto derive from such Shared Contract, (A)β―at the reasonable request of the Party (or the member of such Partyβs Group) to which the benefit of such Shared Contract inures in part, the Party for which such Shared Contract is, as applicable, an Inpixon Retained Asset or Enterprise Apps Asset shall, and shall cause each of its respective Subsidiaries to, for a period ending not later than six (6)β―months after the Distribution Date (unless the term of a Shared Contract (excluding any extensions thereof) ends at a later date, in which case for a period ending on such date), take such other reasonable and permissible actions to cause such member of the CXApp Group or the Inpixon Group, as the case may be, to receive the benefit of that portion of each Shared Contract that relates to the Enterprise Apps Business or the Inpixon Retained Business, as the case may be (in each case, to the extent so related) as if such Shared Contract had been assigned to (or amended to allow) a member of the applicable Group pursuant to this Sectionβ―2.3 and to bear the burden of the corresponding Liabilities (including any Liabilities that may arise by reason of such arrangement) as if such Liabilities had been Assumed by a member of the applicable Group pursuant to this Sectionβ―2.3; provided that the Party for which such Shared Contract is an Inpixon Retained Asset or an Enterprise Apps Asset, as applicable, shall be indemnified for all Indemnifiable Losses or other Liabilities arising out of any actions (or omissions to act) of such retaining Party taken at the direction of the other Party (or relevant member of its Group) in connection with and relating to such Shared Contract, as the case may be, and (B)β―the Party to which the benefit of such Shared Contract inures in part shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into a separate contract pursuant to which it procures such rights and obligations as are necessary such that it no longer needs to avail itself of the arrangements provided pursuant to this Sectionβ―2.3(a); provided that, the Party for which such Shared Contract is, as applicable, an Inpixon Retained Asset or Enterprise Apps Asset, any such Partyβs applicable Subsidiaries shall not be liable for any actions or omissions taken in accordance with clause (y)β―of this Sectionβ―2.3(a).

Β
(a)Β Except as set forth in Sectionβ―5.1(b), all intercompany receivables and payables (other than (x)β―intercompany loans (which shall be governed by Sectionβ―2.4(c)), and (y)β―payables created or required by this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any Continuing Arrangements) and intercompany balances, including in respect of any cash balances, any cash balances representing deposited checks or drafts or any cash held in any centralized cash management system between any member of the Inpixon Group, on the one hand, and any member of the CXApp Group, on the other hand, which exist and are reflected in the accounting records of the relevant Parties immediately prior to the Distribution Time, shall be paid, performed or otherwise settled on or prior to the Distribution Time, and all arrangements, understandings and agreements relating thereto are hereby terminated.
Β
(b)Β As between the Parties (and the members of their respective Group) all payments and reimbursements received after the Distribution Time by one Party (or member of its Group) that relate to a Business, Asset or Liability of the other Party (or member of its Group), shall be held by such Party in trust for the use and benefit of the Party entitled thereto (at the expense of the Party entitled thereto) and, promptly upon receipt by such Party of any such payment or reimbursement, such Party shall pay or shall cause the applicable member of its Group to pay over to the Party entitled thereto the amount of such payment or reimbursement without right of set-off.
Β
(c)Β Each of Inpixon or any member of the Inpixon Group, on the one hand, and Spinco, on the other hand, will settle with the other Party, as the case may be, all intercompany loans, including any promissory notes, owned or owed by the other Party on or prior to the Distribution Time, it being understood and agreed by the Parties that all guarantees and Credit Support Instruments shall be governed by Sectionβ―2.10.

Section 2.6Β Transfers Not Effected at or Prior to the Distribution Time; Transfers Deemed Effective as of the Distribution Time.
Β
(a)Β To the extent that any Transfers or Assumptions contemplated by this Articleβ―II shall not have been consummated at or prior to the Distribution Time, the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts (taking into account any applicable restrictions or considerations, in each case relating to the contemplated Tax treatment of the transactions contemplated hereby) to effect such Transfers or Assumptions as promptly following the Distribution Time as shall be practicable. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require or constitute the Transfer of any Assets or the Assumption of any Liabilities which by their terms or operation of Law cannot be Transferred; provided, however, that the Parties and their respective Subsidiaries shall cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to seek to obtain, in accordance with applicable Law, any necessary Consents or Governmental Approvals for the Transfer of all Assets and Assumption of all Liabilities contemplated to be Transferred and Assumed pursuant to this Articleβ―II to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law. In the event that any such Transfer of Assets or Assumption of Liabilities has not been consummated, from and after the Distribution Time, (i)β―the Party (or relevant member in its Group) retaining such Asset shall thereafter hold (or shall cause such member in its Group to hold) such Asset in trust for the use and benefit of the Party entitled thereto (at the expense of the Party entitled thereto) and (ii)β―the Party intended to Assume such Liability shall, or shall cause the applicable member of its Group to, pay or reimburse the Party retaining such Liability for all amounts paid or incurred in connection with the retention of such Liability. To the extent the foregoing applies to any Contracts (other than Shared Contracts, which shall be governed solely by Sectionβ―2.3) to be assigned for which any necessary Consents or Governmental Approvals are not received prior to the Distribution Time, the treatment of such Contracts shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be subject to Sectionβ―2.8 and Sectionβ―2.9, to the extent applicable. In addition, the Party retaining such Asset or Liability (or relevant member of its Group) shall (or shall cause such member in its Group to) treat, insofar as reasonably possible and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, such Asset or Liability in the ordinary course of business in accordance with past practice and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the Party to which such Asset is to be Transferred or by the Party Assuming such Liability in order to place such Party, insofar as reasonably possible and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, in the same position as if such Asset or Liability had been Transferred or Assumed as contemplated hereby and so that all the benefits and burdens relating to such Asset or Liability, including possession, use, risk of loss, potential for income and gain, and dominion, control and command over such Asset or Liability, are to inure from and after the Distribution Time to the relevant member or members of the Inpixon Group or the CXApp Group entitled to the receipt of such Asset or required to Assume such Liability. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Parties agree that, as of the Distribution Time, subject to Sectionβ―2.2(c)β―and Sectionβ―2.9(b), each Party shall be deemed to have acquired complete and sole beneficial ownership over all of the Assets, together with all rights, powers and privileges incident thereto, and shall be deemed to have Assumed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement all of the Liabilities, and all duties, obligations and responsibilities incident thereto, which such Party is entitled to acquire or required to Assume pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
Β
(b)Β If and when the Consents, Governmental Approvals and/or conditions, the absence or non-satisfaction of which caused the deferral of Transfer of any Asset or deferral of the Assumption of any Liability pursuant to Sectionβ―2.6(a), are obtained or satisfied, the Transfer, assignment, Assumption or novation of the applicable Asset or Liability shall be effected without further consideration in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement (including Sectionβ―2.2) and/or the applicable Ancillary Agreement, and shall, to the extent possible without the imposition of any undue cost on any Party, be deemed to have become effective as of the Distribution Time.
Β
(c)Β The Party (or relevant member of its Group) retaining any Asset or Liability due to the deferral of the Transfer of such Asset or the deferral of the Assumption of such Liability pursuant to Sectionβ―2.6(a)β―or otherwise shall (i)β―not be obligated, in connection with the foregoing, to expend any money unless the necessary funds are advanced, assumed, or agreed in advance to be reimbursed by the Party (or relevant member of its Group) entitled to such Asset or the Person intended to be subject to such Liability, other than reasonable attorneysβ fees and recording or similar or other incidental fees, all of which shall be promptly reimbursed by the Party (or relevant member of its Group) entitled to such Asset or the Person intended to be subject to such Liability and (ii)β―be indemnified for all Indemnifiable Losses or other Liabilities arising out of any actions (or omissions to act) of such retaining Party taken at the direction of the other Party (or relevant member of its Group) in connection with and relating to such retained Asset or Liability, as the case may be.
Β

Β
Β
(d)Β After the Distribution Time, each Party (or any member of its Group) may receive mail, packages, electronic mail or other electronic communications and any other written communications properly belonging to another Party (or any member of its Group). Accordingly, at all times after the Distribution Time, each Party is hereby authorized to receive and, if reasonably necessary to identify the proper recipient in accordance with this Sectionβ―2.6(d), open all mail, packages, electronic mail or other electronic communication and any other written communications received by such Party that belongs to such other Party, and to the extent that they do not relate to the business of the receiving Party, the receiving Party shall promptly deliver such mail, packages, electronic mail or other electronic communication or any other written communications (or, in case the same also relates to the business of the receiving Party or another Party, copies thereof) to such other Party as provided for in Sectionβ―9.6; it being understood that if a Party receives a telephone call that relates to the business of the other Party, then the receiving Party shall inform the person making such telephone call to contact the other Party. The provisions of this Sectionβ―2.6(d)β―are not intended to, and shall not, be deemed to constitute an authorization by any Party to permit the other to accept service of process on its behalf and no Party is or shall be deemed to be the agent of any other Party for service of process purposes.
Β
(e)Β With respect to Assets and Liabilities described in Sectionβ―2.6(a), each of Inpixon and Spinco shall, and shall cause the members of its respective Group to, (i)β―treat for all Tax purposes (A)β―the deferred Assets as assets having been Transferred to and owned by the Party entitled to such Assets not later than the Distribution Time and (B)β―the deferred Liabilities as liabilities having been Assumed and owned by the Person intended to be subject to such Liabilities not later than the Distribution Time and (ii)β―neither report nor take any Tax position (on a Tax Return or otherwise) inconsistent with such treatment (unless required by applicable Law or good faith resolution of a Tax Contest).
Β
Section 2.7Β Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments. In connection with, and in furtherance of, the Transfers of Assets and the Assumptions of Liabilities contemplated by this Agreement, the Parties shall execute or cause to be executed, on or after the date hereof by the appropriate entities to the extent not executed prior to the date hereof, any Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments necessary to evidence the valid Transfer to the applicable Party or member of such Partyβs Group of all right, title and interest in and to its accepted Assets and the valid and effective Assumption by the applicable Party of its Assumed Liabilities for Transfers and Assumptions to be effected pursuant to the Laws of the State of Nevada, the State of California or the State of Delaware or the Laws of one of the other states of the United States or, if not appropriate for a given Transfer or Assumption, and for Transfers or Assumptions to be effected pursuant to non-U.S. Laws, in such form as the Parties shall reasonably agree, including the Transfer of real property by mutually acceptable conveyance deeds as may be appropriate and in form and substance as may be required by the jurisdiction in which the real property is located; provided, that the allocation of Assets and Liabilities provided for in any Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments shall be consistent with the terms of this Agreement, unless otherwise approved in writing by the Parties. The Transfer of capital stock shall, to the extent necessary to evidence a valid Transfer, be effected by means of executed stock powers and notation on the stock record books of the corporation or other legal entities involved, or by such other means as may be required in any non-U.S. jurisdiction to Transfer title to stock and, only to the extent required by applicable Law, by notation on public registries.

Section 5.4Β Procedures for Indemnification.
Β
(a)Β Direct Claims. Other than with respect to Third Party Claims, which shall be governed by Sectionβ―5.4(b), each Inpixon Indemnitee and CXApp Indemnitee (each, an βIndemniteeβ) shall notify in writing, with respect to any matter that such Indemnitee has determined has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, the Party which is or may be required pursuant to this Articleβ―V or pursuant to any Ancillary Agreement to make such indemnification (the βIndemnifying Partyβ), within forty-five (45) days of such determination, stating in such written notice the amount of the Indemnifiable Loss claimed, if known, and, to the extent practicable, method of computation thereof, and referring to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed by such Indemnitee or arises; provided, however, that the failure to provide such written notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. The Indemnifying Party will have a period of forty-five (45) days after receipt of a notice under this Sectionβ―5.4(a)β―within which to respond thereto. If the Indemnifying Party fails to respond within such period, the Liability specified in such notice from the Indemnitee shall be conclusively determined to be a Liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder. If such Indemnifying Party responds within such period and rejects such claim in whole or in part, the disputed matter shall be resolved in accordance with Articleβ―VII.
Β
(b)Β Third Party Claims. If a claim or demand is made against an Indemnitee by any Person who is not a member of the Inpixon Group or the CXApp Group or KINS or their respective Affiliates (a βThird Party Claimβ) as to which such Indemnitee is or may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, such Indemnitee shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing (which notice obligation may be satisfied by providing copies of all notices and documents received by the Indemnitee relating to the Third Party Claim), and in reasonable detail, of the Third Party Claim promptly (and in any event within the earlier of (x)β― forty-five (45) days or (y)β―two (2)β―Business Days prior to the final date of the applicable response period under such Third Party Claim) after receipt by such Indemnitee of written notice of the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the failure to provide notice of any such Third Party Claim pursuant to this or the preceding sentence shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. Thereafter, the Indemnitee shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly (and in any event within ten (10)β―Business Days) after the Indemniteeβs receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnitee relating to the Third Party Claim. For all purposes of this Sectionβ―5.4(b), each Party shall be deemed to have notice of the matters set forth on Scheduleβ―1.1(50)(vii).
Β
(c)Β Other than in the case of (i)β―Taxes addressed in the Tax Matters Agreement or Employee Matters Agreement, which shall be addressed as set forth therein or (ii)β―indemnification by a beneficiary Party of a guarantor Party pursuant to Sectionβ―2.10(c)β―(the defense of which shall be controlled by the beneficiary Party), the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof, and if it does not assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim in accordance with the terms of Sectionβ―5.5 at such Indemnifying Partyβs own cost and expense and by such Indemnifying Partyβs own counsel, that is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee, within thirty (30) days of the receipt of an indemnification notice from such Indemnitee; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim to the extent such Third Party Claim (x)β―is an Action by a Governmental Entity, (y)β―involves an allegation of a criminal violation or (z)β―seeks injunctive relief against the Indemnitee. In connection with the Indemnifying Partyβs defense of a Third Party Claim, such Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement thereof, at its own expense and, in any event, shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Partyβs expense, all witnesses, pertinent Information, materials and information in such Indemniteeβs possession or under such Indemniteeβs control relating thereto as are reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that in the event of a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the applicable Indemnitee(s), or in the event that any Third Party Claim seeks equitable relief which would restrict or limit the future conduct of the Indemniteeβs business or operations, such Indemnitee(s)β―shall be entitled to retain, at the Indemnifying Partyβs expense, separate counsel as required by the applicable rulesβ―of professional conduct with respect to such matter; provided further, that if the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the Third Party Claim but has specified, and continues to assert, any reservations or exceptions to such defense or to its liability therefor, then, in any such case, the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel for all Indemnitees shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to compromise or settle a Third Party Claim the defense of which it shall have assumed pursuant to this Sectionβ―5.4(c), β―and any such settlement or compromise made or caused to be made of a Third Party Claim in accordance with this Articleβ―V shall be binding on the Indemnitee, in the same manner as if a final judgment or decree had been entered by a court of competent jurisdiction in the amount of such settlement or compromise. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any such Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Indemnitee unless such settlement (A)β―completely and unconditionally releases the Indemnitee in connection with such matter, (B)β―provides relief consisting solely of money damages borne by the Indemnifying Party and (C)β―does not involve any admission by the Indemnitee of any wrongdoing or violation of Law.
Β

Β
Β
(d)Β If an Indemnifying Party fails for any reason to assume responsibility for defending a Third Party Claim within the period specified in this Sectionβ―5.4, such Indemnitee may defend such Third Party Claim at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party. If an Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim within the time period specified in clause (c)β―above, it shall not be a defense to any obligation to pay any amount in respect of such Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party was not consulted in the defense thereof, that such Indemnifying Partyβs views or opinions as to the conduct of such defense were not accepted or adopted, that such Indemnifying Party does not approve of the quality or manner of the defense thereof or that such Third Party Claim was incurred by reason of a settlement rather than by a judgment or other determination of liability.
Β
(e)Β Except as otherwise set forth in Sectionβ―6.6 and Sectionβ―7.3, or to the extent set forth in any Ancillary Agreement, absent fraud or willful misconduct by an Indemnifying Party, the indemnification provisions of this Articleβ―V shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of an Indemnitee for any monetary or compensatory damages or losses resulting from any breach of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement and each Indemnitee expressly waives and relinquishes any and all rights, claims or remedies such Person may have with respect to the foregoing other than under this Articleβ―V against any Indemnifying Party. For the avoidance of doubt, all disputes in respect of this Articleβ―V shall be resolved in accordance with Articleβ―VII.
Β
(f)Β Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any Ancillary Agreement provides procedures for indemnification that differ from the provisions set forth in this Sectionβ―5.4, the terms of the Ancillary Agreement will govern.
Β
(g)Β The provisions of this Articleβ―V shall apply to Third Party Claims that are already pending or asserted as well as Third Party Claims brought or asserted after the date of this Agreement. There shall be no requirement under this Sectionβ―5.4 to give a notice with respect to any Third Party Claim that exists as of the Distribution Time. The Parties acknowledge that Liabilities for Actions (regardless of the parties to the Actions) may be partly Inpixon Liabilities and partly Enterprise Apps Liabilities. If the Parties cannot agree on the allocation of any such Liabilities for Actions, they shall resolve the matter pursuant to the procedures set forth in Articleβ―VII. Neither Party shall, nor shall either Party permit its Subsidiaries to, file Third Party claims or cross-claims against the other Party or its Subsidiaries in an Action in which a Third Party Claim is being resolved.

Section 5.5Β Cooperation in Defense and Settlement.
Β
(a)Β With respect to any Third Party Claim that implicates both the CXApp Group (or KINS and its Subsidiaries, as applicable) and the Inpixon Group in any material respect due to the allocation of Liabilities, responsibilities for management of defense and related indemnities pursuant to this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, Design Reactor (or Spinco or KINS, as applicable) and Inpixon agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate fully and maintain a joint defense (in a manner that, to the extent reasonably practicable, will preserve for all Parties any Privilege with respect thereto). The Party that is not responsible for managing the defense of any such Third Party Claim shall, upon reasonable request, be consulted with respect to significant matters relating thereto and may, if necessary or helpful, retain counsel to assist in the defense of such claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Sectionβ―5.5(a)β―shall derogate from any Partyβs rights to control the defense of any Action in accordance with Sectionβ―5.4.
Β
(b)Β Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to any Action (i)β―by a Governmental Entity against Design Reactor or any member of the CXApp Group relating to matters involving anti-bribery, anti-corruption, anti-money laundering, export control and similar laws, where the facts and circumstances giving rise to the Action occurred prior to the Distribution Time and (ii)β―where the resolution of such Action by order, judgment, settlement or otherwise, would reasonably be expected to include any condition, limitation or other stipulation that adversely impacts the conduct of the Inpixon Retained Businesses, Inpixon shall have, at Inpixonβs expense, the reasonable opportunity to consult, advise and comment on preparation regarding any such Action, including with regard to any drafts of notices and other conferences and communications to be provided or submitted by Design Reactor or any member of the CXApp Group to any third party involved in such Action (including any Governmental Entity), to the extent that Inpixonβs participation does not affect the defense of any such Action or any privilege in an adverse manner; provided that to the extent that any such action requires the submission by Design Reactor or any member of the CXApp Group of any content relating to any current or former officer or director of Inpixon, such content will only be submitted in a form approved by Inpixon in its reasonable discretion.
Β
(c)Β Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to any notices or reports to be submitted to, or reporting, disclosure, filing or other requirements to be made with, any Governmental Entity by Design Reactor or any member of the CXApp Group or its Subsidiaries (βGovernmental Filingβ) where the Governmental Filing requires disclosure of facts, information or data that relate, in whole or in part, to periods prior to the Distribution Time, Inpixon shall have the reasonable opportunity to consult, advise and comment on the preparation and content of any such Governmental Filing in advance of its submission to a Governmental Entity, and Design Reactor or the applicable member of the CXApp Group shall in good faith consider and take into account any comments so provided by Inpixon with respect to such Governmental Filing.
Β
(d)Β Each of Inpixon, and each of the CXApp Parties agrees that at all times from and after the Distribution Time, if an Action is commenced by a third party naming two (2)β―or more Parties (or any member of such Partiesβ respective Groups) as defendants and with respect to which one or more named Parties (or any member of such Partyβs respective Group) is a nominal defendant and/or such Action is otherwise not a Liability allocated to such named Party under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, then the other Party or Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts at its own expense to cause such nominal defendant to be removed from such Action, as soon as reasonably practicable.

Section 5.6Β Indemnification Payments. After the date on which (i) Indemnifying Partyβs response to the Indemniteeβs notice under Section 5.4(a) is received by Indemnitee, in the case of a claim other than a Third Party Claim, or (ii) Indemnifying Party receives Indemniteeβs notice of a Third Party Claim under Section 5.4(b), in the case of a Third Party Claim, indemnification required by this Articleβ―V shall be made by periodic payments of the amount of Indemnifiable Losses in a timely fashion during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or an Indemnifiable Loss incurred.
Β
Section 5.7Β Indemnification Obligations Net of Insurance Proceeds and Other Amounts.
Β
(a)Β Any recovery by any Indemnitee for any Indemnifiable Loss subject to indemnification pursuant to this Articleβ―V shall be calculated (i)β―net of Insurance Proceeds actually received by such Indemnitee with respect to any Indemnifiable Loss (which such proceeds shall be reduced by the present value, based on that Partyβs then cost of short-term borrowing, of future premium increases known at such time) and (ii)β―net of any proceeds actually received by the Indemnitee from any unaffiliated third party with respect to any such Liability corresponding to the Indemnifiable Loss (βThird Party Proceedsβ). Accordingly, the amount which any Indemnifying Party is required to pay pursuant to this Articleβ―V to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Articleβ―V shall be reduced by any Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Proceeds theretofore actually recovered by or on behalf of the Indemnitee corresponding to the related Indemnifiable Loss. If an Indemnitee receives a payment required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party corresponding to any Indemnifiable Loss (an βIndemnity Paymentβ) and subsequently receives Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Proceeds, then the Indemnitee shall pay to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the excess of the Indemnity Payment received over the amount of the Indemnity Payment that would have been due if the Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Proceeds had been received, realized or recovered before the Indemnity Payment was made.
Β
(b)Β The Parties hereby agree that an insurer or other third party that would otherwise be obligated to pay any amount shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or have any subrogation rights with respect thereto by virtue of any provision contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, and that no insurer or any other third party shall be entitled to a βwindfallβ (e.g., a benefit they would not otherwise be entitled to receive, or the reduction or elimination of an insurance coverage obligation that they would otherwise have, in the absence of the indemnification or release provisions) by virtue of any provision contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement. Each Party shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to collect or recover, or allow the Indemnifying Party to collect or recover, or cooperate with each other in collecting or recovering, any Insurance Proceeds that may be collectible or recoverable respecting the Liabilities for which indemnification may be available under this Articleβ―V. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnifying Party may not delay making any indemnification payment required under the terms of this Agreement, or otherwise satisfying any indemnification obligation, pending the outcome of any Actions to collect or recover Insurance Proceeds, and an Indemnitee need not attempt to collect any Insurance Proceeds prior to making a claim for indemnification or receiving any Indemnity Payment otherwise owed to it under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.
Β

This Agreement, including the Exhibitsβ―and Schedules, and the Ancillary Agreements shall constitute the entire agreement among the Parties and KINS with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall supersede all previous negotiations, commitments, course of dealings and writings with respect to such subject matter. In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and any Scheduleβ―hereto, the Scheduleβ―shall prevail. In the event and to the extent that there shall be a conflict between the provisions of (a)β―this Agreement and the provisions of any Ancillary Agreement or Continuing Arrangement, such Ancillary Agreement or Continuing Arrangement shall control (except with respect to any Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments, in which case this Agreement shall control) and (b)β―this Agreement and any agreement which is not an Ancillary Agreement, this Agreement shall control unless specifically stated otherwise in such agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments are intended to be ministerial in nature and only to effect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with respect to the applicable local jurisdiction and shall not expand or modify the rights and obligations of the Parties, KINS or their respective Affiliates under this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements that are not Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement: (i)β―all matters relating to Taxes and Tax Returns of the Parties and their respective Subsidiaries shall be governed exclusively by the Tax Matters Agreement; and (ii)β―for the avoidance of doubt, in the event of any conflict between this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (other than the Tax Matters Agreement), on the one hand, and the Tax Matters Agreement, on the other hand, with respect to such matters, the terms and conditions of the Tax Matters Agreement shall govern, except as otherwise provided in the Tax Matters Agreement.

Section 9.11Β Payment Terms.
Β
(a)Β Except as set forth in Articleβ―V or as otherwise expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, any amount to be paid or reimbursed by a Party or KINS (and/or a member of such Partyβs Group or its Affiliates), on the one hand, to the other Party or KINS (and/or a member of such Partyβs Group or its Affiliate), on the other hand, under this Agreement shall be paid or reimbursed hereunder within forty-five (45) days after presentation of an invoice or a written demand therefor and setting forth, or accompanied by, reasonable documentation or other reasonable explanation supporting such amount.
Β
(b)Β Except as set forth in Articleβ―V or as expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, any amount not paid when due pursuant to this Agreement (and any amount billed or otherwise invoiced or demanded and properly payable that is not paid within forty-five (45) days of such bill, invoice or other demand) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate, from time to time in effect, calculated for the actual number of days elapsed, accrued from the date on which such payment was due up to the date of the actual receipt of payment.
Β
(c)Β Without the consent of the Party or KINS, as the case may be, receiving any payment under this Agreement specifying otherwise, all payments to be made by either Party or KINS under this Agreement shall be made in US Dollars. Except as expressly provided herein, any amount which is not expressed in US Dollars shall be converted into US Dollars by using the exchange rate published on Bloomberg at 5:00 pm Eastern Standard time (EST) on the day before the relevant date or in the Wall Street Journal on such date if not so published on Bloomberg. Except as expressly provided herein, in the event that any indemnification payment required to be made hereunder or under any Ancillary Agreement may be denominated in a currency other than US Dollars, the amount of such payment shall be converted into US Dollars on the date in which notice of the claim is given to the Indemnifying Party.
Β
Section 9.12Β Subsidiaries. Each of the Parties and KINS shall cause to be performed, and hereby guarantees the performance of, all actions, agreements and obligations set forth herein to be performed by any Subsidiary of such Party or KINS, as the case may be, or by any entity that becomes a Subsidiary of such Party or KINS, as the case may be, at and after the Distribution Time, to the extent such Subsidiary remains a Subsidiary of the applicable Party or KINS, as the case may be.
Β
Section 9.13Β Third Party Beneficiaries. Except (i)β―as provided in Articleβ―V relating to Indemnitees and for the release under Sectionβ―5.1 of any Person provided therein and (ii)β―as specifically provided in any Ancillary Agreement, this Agreement is solely for the benefit of the Parties and KINS and should not be deemed to confer upon third parties any remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement, claim of Action or other right in excess of those existing without reference to this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, no stockholder of Inpixon, Spinco, Design Reactor or KINS shall be third-party beneficiaries for any purpose prior to the Distribution, and no stockholder (or Party or KINS on behalf of their respective stockholders) shall be entitled to bring any claim for damages prior to the Distribution based on a decrease in share value or lost premiums.
Β
Section 9.14Β Title and Headings. Titles and headings to sectionsβ―herein are inserted for the convenience of reference only and are not intended to be a part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
Β
Section 9.15Β Exhibitsβ―and Schedules. The Exhibitsβ―and Schedules shall be construed with and as an integral part of this Agreement to the same extent as if the same had been set forth verbatim herein. Nothing in the Exhibitsβ―or Schedules constitutes an admission of any liability or obligation of any member of the Inpixon Group or the CXApp Group or any of their respective Affiliates to any third party, nor, with respect to any third party, an admission against the interests of any member of the Inpixon Group or the CXApp Group or any of their respective Affiliates. The inclusion of any item or liability or category of item or liability on any Exhibitβ―or Scheduleβ―is made solely for purposes of allocating potential liabilities among the Parties and shall not be deemed as or construed to be an admission that any such liability exists.

Section 9.16Β Governing Law and Venue; Submission to Jurisdiction; Selection of Forum; Waiver of Trial by Jury.
Β
(a)Β This Agreement and any dispute arising out of, in connection with or relating to this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflicts of laws principles thereof.
Β
(b)Β Each of the Parties and KINS agrees that any Action related to this agreement shall be brought exclusively in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if under applicable Law, exclusive jurisdiction over such matter is vested in the federal courts, any federal court in the State of Delaware and any appellate court from any thereof (the βChosen Courtsβ). By executing and delivering this Agreement, each of the Parties and KINS irrevocably: (i)β―accepts generally and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts for any Action relating to this Agreement, including any Action brought for any remedy contemplated by Sectionβ―9.17; (ii)β―waives any objections which such Party or KINS, as the case may be, may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such Action contemplated by this Sectionβ―9.16(b)β―and hereby further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim that any such Action has been brought in an inconvenient forum; (iii)β―agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat the personal jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts by motion or other request for leave from any such court; (iv)β―agrees that it will not bring any Action contemplated by this Sectionβ―9.16(b)β―in any court other than the Chosen Courts; (v)β―agrees that service of all process, including the summons and complaint, in any Action may be made by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to such party at their respective addresses provided in accordance with Sectionβ―9.6 or in any other manner permitted by Xxx; and (vi)β―agrees that service as provided in the preceding clause (v)β―is sufficient to confer personal jurisdiction over such Party or KINS in the Action, and otherwise constitutes effective and binding service in every respect. Each of the Parties and KINS agrees that a final judgment in any Action in a Chosen Court as provided above may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Xxx, and each Party and KINS further agrees to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts for the enforcement or execution of any such judgment.
Β
(c)Β EACH OF INPIXON, SPINCO, DESIGN REACTOR AND KINS HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING IN ANY COURT RELATING TO ANY DISPUTE, CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY INSTRUMENT OR DOCUMENT DELIVERED PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING ANY SCHEDULE OR EXHIBITβ―HERETO AND THERETO) OR THE BREACH, TERMINATION OR VALIDITY OF SUCH AGREEMENT,β―INSTRUMENTS OR DOCUMENTS OR THE NEGOTIATION, EXECUTION OR PERFORMANCE OF SUCH AGREEMENTS,β―INSTRUMENTS OR DOCUMENTS. NONE OF INPIXON, SPINCO, DESIGN REACTOR OR KINS SHALL SEEK A JURY TRIAL IN ANY LAWSUIT, PROCEEDING, COUNTERCLAIM OR ANY OTHER LITIGATION PROCEDURE BASED UPON, OR ARISING OUT OF, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY RELATED INSTRUMENTS OR DOCUMENTS. NONE OF INPIXON, SPINCO, DESIGN REACTOR OR KINS WILL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL HAS BEEN WAIVED WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED. EACH OF INPIXON, SPINCO, DESIGN REACTOR AND KINS CERTIFIES THAT IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT,β―INSTRUMENT OR DOCUMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS SET FORTH ABOVE IN THIS SECTIONβ―9.16(c). NONE OF INPIXON, SPINCO, DESIGN REACTOR OR KINS HAS IN ANY WAY AGREED WITH OR REPRESENTED TO ANY OF THE OTHERS THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTIONβ―9.16(c)β―WILL NOT BE FULLY ENFORCED IN ALL INSTANCES.

Section 9.17Β Specific Performance. From and after the Distribution Time, in the event of any actual or threatened default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, the Parties and KINS agree that KINS and the Party or Parties to this Agreement or such Ancillary Agreement who are or are to be thereby aggrieved shall have the right to seek specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief of its or their rights under this Agreement or such Ancillary Agreement, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies at law or in equity, and all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative. The Parties and KINS agree that, from and after the Distribution Time, the remedies at law for any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, including monetary damages, are inadequate compensation for any Indemnifiable Loss, that any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate is hereby waived, and that any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such remedy are hereby waived.
Β
Section 9.18Β Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The Parties and KINS shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
Β
Section 9.19Β Interpretation. The Parties and KINS have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or ruleβ―requiring construction or interpretation against the Party or KINS, as the case may be, drafting or causing any instrument to be drafted.
Β
Section 9.20Β No Duplication; No Double Recovery. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to confer to or impose upon any Party or KINS a duplicative right, entitlement, obligation or recovery with respect to any matter arising out of the same facts and circumstances (including with respect to the rights, entitlements, obligations and recoveries that may arise out of one or more of the following Sections: Sectionβ―5.2; Sectionβ―5.3; and Sectionβ―5.4).
Β
Section 9.21Β Tax Treatment of Payments. Unless otherwise required by a Final Determination, this Agreement or the Tax Matters Agreement or otherwise agreed to among the Parties and KINS, for U.S. federal Tax purposes, any payment made pursuant to this Agreement (other than any payment of interest pursuant to Sectionβ―9.11) by: (i)β―Spinco to Inpixon shall be treated for all Tax purposes as a distribution by Spinco to Inpixon with respect to stock of Spinco occurring on or immediately before the Distribution Time; or (ii)β―Inpixon to Spinco shall be treated for all Tax purposes as a tax-free contribution by Inpixon to Spinco with respect to its stock occurring on or immediately before the Distribution Time; and in each case, no Party or KINS shall take (or permit any member of such Partyβs Group to take) any position inconsistent with such treatment. In the event that a Taxing Authority asserts that a Partyβs treatment of a payment pursuant to this Agreement should be other than as set forth in the preceding sentence, such Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to contest such challenge.
Β
Section 9.22Β No Waiver. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of any Party, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Ancillary Agreements shall operate as a waiver hereof or thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.
Β
Section 9.23Β No Admission of Liability. The allocation of Assets and Liabilities herein (including on the Schedules hereto) is solely for the purpose of allocating such Assets and Liabilities between Inpixon and the CXApp Parties and is not intended as an admission of liability or responsibility for any alleged Liabilities vis-Γ -vis any third party, including with respect to the Liabilities of any non-wholly owned Subsidiary of Inpixon or the CXApp Parties.
