Article II
GENERAL PRINCIPLES

2.1 Nature of Liabilities. All Liabilities assumed or retained by a member of the Company Group under this Agreement shall be “Inpixon Retained Liabilities” for purposes of the Separation Agreement. All Liabilities assumed or retained by a member of the SpinCo Group under this Agreement shall be “Enterprise Apps Liabilities” for purposes of the Separation Agreement.

2.2 Transfers of Employees and Independent Contractors Generally.

(a) The Company and SpinCo shall mutually update the Census from time to time following the date hereof and, in any event, no later than thirty (30) Business Days (as defined in the Merger Agreement) prior to the Distribution Time, to reflect new hire/engagements, terminations or other personnel changes occurring between the date hereof and the date of such update, as permitted pursuant to Section 6.1(h) of the Merger Agreement, and any such updates shall be provided to the Parent. Seven (7) Business Days prior to the Distribution Time, the Company and SpinCo shall provide Parent with a final updated Census reflecting new hires/engagements, terminations or other personnel changes occurring between the date the last update was provided and the Distribution Time, as permitted pursuant to Section 6.1(h) of the Merger Agreement.

(b) The Company and SpinCo will cooperate to cause each of the SpinCo Employees (other than each SpinCo Employee who is an Offer Employee) to be employed by a member of the SpinCo Group prior to the Distribution Time. The Company shall cooperate in good faith with Parent and its Affiliates to (i) make each Offer Employee reasonably accessible to Parent and its Affiliates to assist in efforts to secure offers of employment with each such Offer Employee and (ii) encourage (without the payment of additional compensation, benefits or other monetary or non-monetary incentives) each Offer Employee to accept an offer of employment with Parent or one of its Affiliates (including, following the Effective Time, SpinCo and the other members of the SpinCo Group). Parent or one of its Affiliates (including, following the Effective Time, SpinCo and the other members of the SpinCo Group) shall offer employment to the Offer Employees upon such terms and conditions of employment as set forth in Section 2.4, commencing at midnight local time on the Closing Date; provided that any Offer Employee who is an Inactive Employee immediately prior to the Closing shall receive an offer of employment in accordance with, and subject to the terms of, this Section 2.2(b) below. The Company shall terminate the employment of all Offer Employees (other than the Inactive Employees) effective as of or immediately prior to the Closing and shall comply with, and hold Parent and its Affiliates harmless from, all legal or contractual requirements arising in connection with or as a result of such terminations of employment. The applicable date on which the each applicable Offer Employee commences employment with Parent or one of its Affiliates, either on or following the Closing Date as set forth in this Section 2.2(b), shall be the “Transfer Date” of such Offer Employee. As of the Distribution Time or, with respect to the Offer Employees, as of the applicable Transfer Date, the Company shall ensure that each SpinCo Employee is released from any post-termination or employment restrictions that would prohibit or restrict such SpinCo Employee from performing their duties for the SpinCo Group following the Distribution Time. All SpinCo Employees (other than the Offer Employees) and Acquired Company Employees who are employed by the SpinCo Group as of the Distribution Time shall continue to be employees of the SpinCo Group immediately after the Distribution Time. All SpinCo Employees (other than the Offer Employees) and Acquired Company Employees who are employed by the SpinCo Group as of the Distribution Time and all Offer Employees who commence employment with Parent or one of its Affiliate’s pursuant to Parent’s or its Affiliate’s offer of employment on the Closing Date (or, with respect to Inactive Employees, such later date contemplated by this Section 2.2(b)) are referred to herein, collectively, as the “Transferred Employees”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Inactive Employee, Parent’s or its Affiliate’s offer of employment shall be contingent on such Inactive Employee’s return to active status within six (6) months following the Closing Date (or such longer period as required by applicable Law). The Company and its Affiliates shall continue to employ and shall remain responsible for any liabilities and obligations related to any Inactive Employee unless and until such individual becomes a Transferred Employee.

(c) The Company and SpinCo will cooperate to cause the engagement of each Business Independent Contractor set forth on Schedule B hereto to be transferred to a member of the SpinCo Group prior to the Distribution Time. As of the Closing, the Company shall ensure that each Business Independent Contractor is released from any engagement with the Company and its Subsidiaries (other than the SpinCo Group), including any restrictions or obligations that would prohibit or restrict such Person from performing such Person’s work for the SpinCo Group following the Distribution Time. All SpinCo Independent Contractors who are engaged by the SpinCo Group as of the Distribution Time shall continue to be engaged by the SpinCo Group immediately after the Distribution Time and are referred to herein as the “Transferred Independent Contractors”.

(d) The Company Group and SpinCo Group agree to execute, and to seek to have the applicable SpinCo Service Providers execute, such documentation, if any, as may be necessary to reflect the transfers or assignments, as applicable, described in this Section 2.2.

(b) Except as otherwise provided by this Agreement, on or prior to the Distribution Time, but in any case prior to the Distribution, the Company and certain members of the Company Group designated by the Company shall accept, assume and agree faithfully to perform, discharge and fulfill all of the following Liabilities in accordance with their respective terms (each of which shall be considered a Inpixon Retained Liability), regardless of when or where such Liabilities arose or arise, or whether the facts on which they are based occurred prior to or subsequent to the Distribution Time, regardless of where or against whom such Liabilities are asserted or determined (including any Liabilities arising out of claims made by the Company’s or SpinCo’s respective directors, officers, employees, former employees, agents, Subsidiaries or Affiliates against any member of the Company Group or the SpinCo Group) or whether asserted or determined prior to the date hereof, and regardless of whether arising from or alleged to arise from negligence, recklessness, violation of applicable Law, fraud or misrepresentation by any member of the Company Group or the SpinCo Group, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, former employees, agents, Subsidiaries or Affiliates:

(i) any and all wages, salaries, incentive compensation, equity compensation, commissions, bonuses and any other employee compensation or benefits payable to or on behalf of any Company Employees, Company Independent Contractors, Former Company Service Providers, and any SpinCo Service Providers who do not become Transferred SpinCo Service Providers, without regard to when such wages, salaries, incentive compensation, equity compensation, commissions, bonuses or other employee compensation or benefits are or may have been awarded or earned;

(ii) any and all Liabilities whatsoever with respect to claims under a Company Benefit Plan, taking into account a corresponding SpinCo Benefit Plan’s assumption of Liabilities with respect to Transferred Employees that were originally the Liabilities of such Company Benefit Plan with respect to periods prior to the Distribution Time; provided that, the Company and the Company Group shall be liable for all equity or equity-related awards, that were granted to, accrued for, earned by or payable to a Transferred SpinCo Service Provider with respect to any period on or prior to the Distribution Time and any transaction bonus or other incentive compensation amounts that may be granted to accrued for, earned by or payable to a Transferred SpinCo Service Provider as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (“Transaction Bonuses”);

(iii) any and all Liabilities with respect to any Company Employees, Company Independent Contractors, Former Company Service Providers, and any SpinCo Service Providers who do not become Transferred SpinCo Service Providers; and

(iv) any and all Liabilities expressly assumed or retained by any member of the Company Group pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) To the extent that this Agreement does not address particular Liabilities under any Benefit Plan and the Parties later determine that they should be allocated in connection with the Distribution, the Parties shall agree in good faith on the allocation, taking into account the handling of comparable Liabilities under this Agreement.

(d) The Parties shall promptly reimburse one another, upon reasonable request of the Party requesting reimbursement and the presentation by such Party of such substantiating documentation as the other Party shall reasonably request, for the cost of any obligations or Liabilities satisfied or assumed by the Party requesting reimbursement or its Affiliates that are, or that have been made pursuant to this Agreement, the responsibility of the other Parties or any of its Affiliates.

(e) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the Separation Agreement to the contrary, SpinCo shall, or shall cause one or more members of the SpinCo Group to, accept, assume (or, as applicable, retain) and perform, discharge and fulfill all Liabilities that have been accepted, assumed or retained under this Agreement.

(a) Without duplication of amounts otherwise already covered in this Agreement or the Transition Services Agreement, the applicable member of the SpinCo Group shall reimburse the Company or the applicable Company Benefit Plan in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice for any premiums and its proportionate share of any administrative or services costs related to SpinCo Employees or Former SpinCo Service Providers solely with respect to any period prior to the Plan Transition Date paid by a Company Benefit Plan (whether prior to or after the Distribution Time) and not charged back to the appropriate and applicable member of the SpinCo Group prior to the Plan Transition Date.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.1, SpinCo Employees will continue to be considered to be “participants” in any Company Benefit Plan that is either a health care flexible spending account program or a dependent-care flexible spending account program for the duration of any grace period and/or claims run-out period following the calendar year in which the Plan Transition Date occurs (in either case, solely as provided under the terms of such Company Benefit Plans), provided that such SpinCo Employees will be considered to be participants solely for purposes of utilizing such grace period and/or claims run-out period; will not be allowed to make any deferral or contribution elections under such Company Benefit Plans beyond the Plan Transition Date; and will cease to be participants in such Company Benefit Plans upon the expiration of any grace period and/or claims run-out period.

3.2 Disability.

(a) To the extent any Transferred Employee is, as of the Plan Transition Date, receiving payments as part of any short-term disability program that is part of a Company Benefit Plan, such Transferred Employee’s rights to continued short-term disability benefits (a) will end under any Company Benefit Plan as of the Plan Transition Date; and (b) all remaining rights will be recognized under a SpinCo Benefit Plan as of the Plan Transition Date, and the remainder (if any) of such Transferred Employee’s short-term disability benefits will be paid by a SpinCo Benefit Plan. In the event that any Transferred Employee described above shall have any dispute with the short-term disability benefits they are receiving under a SpinCo Benefit Plan, any and all appeal rights of such employees shall be realized through the SpinCo Benefit Plan (and any appeal rights such Transferred Employee may have under any Company Benefit Plan will be limited to benefits received and time periods occurring prior to the Plan Transition Date). Any Transferred Employee or Former SpinCo Service Provider who is receiving short-term disability benefits under a Company Benefit Plan as of the Plan Transition Date and thereafter becomes entitled to long-term disability benefits upon the expiration of such short-term disability period (whether under a Company Benefit Plan or SpinCo Benefit Plan), shall be provided long-term disability benefits under the long-term disability plan which is a Company Benefit Plan.

(b) For any Business Employee who is, as of the Distribution Time, receiving payments as part of any long-term disability program that is part of a Company Benefit Plan, and has been receiving payments from such plan for twelve (12) months or fewer before the Distribution Time, to the extent such Business Employee may have any “return to work” rights under the terms of such Company Benefit Plan, such Business Employee’s eligibility for re-employment shall be with SpinCo or a member of the SpinCo Group, subject to availability of a suitable position (with such availability to be determined in the sole discretion by SpinCo or the applicable member of the SpinCo Group), provided however that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no Business Employee described in this subsection will be eligible for re-employment as described in this subsection after the six (6) month anniversary of the Distribution Time (or such longer period as required by applicable Law).

3.3 401(k) Plans.

(a) From the Distribution Time and continuing until the 401(k) Plan Transition Date, SpinCo shall be an “adopting employer” (as defined in the Company 401(k) Plan) and the Company 401(k) Plan shall provide for the SpinCo Group to continue to participate in the Company 401(k) Plan for the benefit of SpinCo Employees, and the Company consents to such adoption and maintenance, in accordance with the terms of the Company 401(k) Plan.

(b) Effective no later than the 401(k) Plan Transition Date, (i) SpinCo shall establish a defined contribution savings plan and related trust that satisfies the requirements of Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Code in which each SpinCo Employee who participated in the Company 401(k) Plan immediately prior thereto shall be immediately eligible to participate (the “SpinCo 401(k) Plan”), with terms that are substantially similar to those provided to such SpinCo Employees by the Company 401(k) Plan immediately prior to the date on which such SpinCo 401(k) Plan become effective, (ii) the Company shall or shall cause a member of the Company Group to cause the active participation of each SpinCo Employee who is a participant in the Company 401(k) Plan to cease as of the date on which the SpinCo 401(k) Plan becomes effective, and (iii) as soon as practicable after the SpinCo 401(k) Plan becomes effective, subject to the consent of the SpinCo 401(k) Plan administrator and reasonable proof of qualification of the Company 401(k) Plan, the Company shall cause the accounts (including any outstanding participant loan balances) in the Company 401(k) Plan attributable to SpinCo Employees and all of the assets in the Company 401(k) Plan related thereto to be transferred to the SpinCo 401(k) Plan pursuant to a trustee-to-trustee transfer that meets the requirements of Section 414(l) of the Code.

(c)The Company shall retain all accounts and all assets and Liabilities relating to the Company 401(k) Plan in respect of each Former SpinCo Service Provider whose employment terminated prior to the 401(k) Plan Transition Date.

3.4 Chargeback of Certain Costs. Without duplication of amounts otherwise already covered in this Agreement or the Transition Services Agreement, nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit the Company’s ability to charge back any Liabilities that it incurs in respect of any SpinCo Service Provider under a Company Benefit Plan which is a retirement plan or health or welfare benefit plan to any of its operating companies in the ordinary course of business consistent with its past practices. Subject, and in addition, to the foregoing, the Company shall allocate and charge back to SpinCo or a member of the SpinCo Group (without duplication) its proportionate share of Liabilities (other than those arising from the Company’s or its agent’s gross misconduct or negligence) that the Company incurs by reason of the continued participation of SpinCo Employees, SpinCo Independent Contractors and Former SpinCo Service Providers in such Company Benefit Plans following the Distribution Time (which Liabilities shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be subject to reimbursement under Section 2.3(d) of this Agreement).

4.2 Parent Equity Plan. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall approve and adopt, subject to receipt of Acquiror Stockholder Approval, an incentive equity plan (the “Parent Equity Plan”); in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company and SpinCo in consultation with Parent, and effective as of the Effective Time.

5.6 Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith regarding the need for any treatment different from that otherwise provided herein with respect to the payment of compensation to ensure that the treatment of such compensation does not cause the imposition of a Tax under Section 409A of the Code.

5.7 Payroll Taxes and Reporting.
