Securities Purchase Agreement
Exhibit 10.8
This Securities Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated as of May 22, 2024, is entered into by and between CXApp Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Company”), and Streeterville Capital, LLC, a Utah limited liability company, its successors and/or assigns (“Investor”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein will have the meanings set forth in Section 11.
A. Company and Investor are executing and delivering this Agreement in reliance upon an exemption from securities registration afforded by the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder by the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”).
B. Investor desires to purchase and Company desires to issue and sell, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement: (i) one or more Pre-Paid Purchases, in form substantially similar to that attached hereto as Exhibit A (each, a “Pre-Paid Purchase”), in the aggregate purchase amount of up to $10,000,000.00 (the “Commitment Amount”), for the purchase of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of Company (the “Common Shares”), upon the terms and subject to the limitations and conditions set forth in such Pre-Paid Purchase; and (ii) 40,000 Common Shares to be delivered by Company to Investor at Closing (as defined below) (the “Commitment Shares”).
C. This Agreement, the Pre-Paid Purchase(s), the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined below), and all other certificates, documents, agreements, resolutions and instruments delivered to any party under or in connection with this Agreement, as the same may be amended from time to time, are collectively referred to herein as the “Transaction Documents”.
D. For purposes of this Agreement: “Purchase Shares” means all Common Shares issuable pursuant to the Pre-Paid Purchases; and “Securities” means the Pre-Paid Purchase(s), the Commitment Shares and the Purchase Shares.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Company and Investor hereby agree as follows:
1. Purchase and Sale of Securities.
1.1. Purchase of Initial Pre-Paid Purchase and Commitment Shares. Company shall issue and sell to Investor and Investor shall purchase from Company the Initial Pre-Paid Purchase (as defined below) and Commitment Shares. In consideration thereof, Investor shall pay the Initial Purchase Price (as defined below) to Company for the Initial Pre-Paid Purchase and the Commitment Shares. Company shall issue the Commitment Shares to Investor at Closing.
1.2. Form of Payment. On the Closing Date, Investor shall pay the Initial Purchase Price to Company via wire transfer of immediately available funds against delivery of Pre-Paid Purchase #1 in the original principal amount of $2,625,000.00 (the “Initial Pre-Paid Purchase”) and the Commitment Shares.
1.3. Closing Date. Subject to the satisfaction (or written waiver) of the conditions set forth in Section 7 and Section 8 below, the date of the issuance and sale of the Initial Pre-Paid Purchase pursuant to this Agreement (the “Closing Date”) shall be May 22, 2024, or another mutually agreed upon date. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall occur on the Closing Date by means of the exchange by email of signed .pdf documents, but shall be deemed for all purposes to have occurred at the offices of Xxxxxx Black Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx PLLC in Lehi, Utah.
1.4. Collateral for Pre-Paid Purchases. The Pre-Paid Purchases shall be unsecured.
1.5. Original Issue Discount; Transaction Expense Amount. The Initial Pre-Paid Purchase carries an original issue discount of $125,000.00 (“OID”). In addition, Company agrees to pay $20,000.00 to Investor to cover Investor’s legal fees, accounting costs, due diligence, monitoring and other transaction costs incurred in connection with the purchase and sale of the Initial Pre-Paid Purchase (“Transaction Expense Amount”). The OID for the Initial Pre-Paid Purchase will be included in the initial principal balance of the Initial Pre-Paid Purchase, and the Transaction Expense Amount for the Initial Pre-Paid Purchase will be deducted from the amount funded at Closing. The “Initial Purchase Price”, therefore, shall be $2,500,000.00, computed as follows: $2,625,000.00 initial principal balance, less the OID. The OID for subsequent Pre-Paid Purchases after the Initial Pre-Paid Purchase will be five percent (5%) of the amount set forth in the applicable Request (as defined below), and have no additional Transaction Expense Amount.
1.6. Request for Pre-Paid Purchase. The parties hereby agree that Company may, at its sole and absolute discretion, at any time and from time to time during the Commitment Period, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Annex I attached hereto, request a Pre-Paid Purchase in an amount less than the Maximum Purchase Amount and greater than the Minimum Purchase Amount from Investor by providing a written notice of such request to Investor (each, a “Request”). The closing of each Pre-Paid Purchase shall take place on or before the tenth (10th) Trading Day (as defined in the Initial Pre-Paid Purchase) following the date of such Request, or such earlier date as may be agreed by Investor (the date of the closing of each Pre-Paid Purchase shall be referred to as the “Pre-Paid Purchase Date”). Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Annex I attached hereto as of such Pre-Paid Purchase Date, Investor shall pay to Company the amount set forth in such Request (which amount shall serve as the purchase price of such Pre-Paid Purchase) in immediately available funds to an account designated by Company in writing on each Pre-Paid Purchase Date (except in respect of the Initial Pre-Paid Purchase, which shall be paid at Closing) immediately following delivery of the applicable fully executed Pre-Paid Purchase in a form substantially similar to the Initial Pre-Paid Purchase except as noted in this Section 1.6, and transmit notification to Company that such funds transfer has been requested, and Company will issue the applicable Pre-Paid Purchase using the same form as the Initial Pre-Paid Purchase. With respect to each Pre-Paid Purchase issued hereunder after the Initial Pre-Paid Purchase: (i) the Floor Price (as defined in the applicable Pre-Paid Purchase) of such Pre-Paid Purchase will be twenty percent (20%) of the Nasdaq Minimum Price on the Trading Day immediately prior to the Pre-Paid Purchase Date; and (ii) the Fixed Price (as defined in the applicable Pre-Paid Purchase) of such Pre-Paid Purchase will be one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the Nasdaq Minimum Price on the Trading Day immediately prior to Pre-Paid Purchase Date. Each Pre-Paid Purchase will be considered a separate instrument with a separate outstanding balance and holding period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, including but not limited to the stipulation under Section 11.2, Company may determine, at its sole and absolute discretion, that it no longer wishes to request a Pre-Paid Purchase. For avoidance of any doubt, Company shall be under no obligation whatsoever to request any Pre-Paid Purchases other than the Initial Pre-Paid Purchase.

Investor represents and warrants to Company that as of the Closing Date: (i) this Agreement has been duly and validly authorized; (ii) this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of Investor enforceable in accordance with its terms; and (iii) Investor is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D of the 1933 Act.

4. Company Covenants. Until all of Company’s obligations under all of the Transaction Documents are paid and performed in full, or within the timeframes otherwise specifically set forth below, Company will at all times comply with the following covenants: (i) notwithstanding the Company’s late filing of its 10-K annual report for the year ending December 31, 2023, so long as Investor beneficially owns any of the Securities and for at least twenty (20) Trading Days thereafter, Company will remain in good standing with Nasdaq and timely file on the applicable deadline all reports required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to Sections 13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act, and will take all reasonable action under its control to ensure that adequate current public information with respect to Company, as required in accordance with Rule 144 of the 1933 Act, is publicly available, and will not terminate its status as an issuer required to file reports under the 1934 Act even if the 1934 Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would permit such termination; (ii) when issued, the Commitment Shares and the Purchase Shares will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid for and non-assessable, free and clear of all liens, claims, charges and encumbrances; (iii) the Common Shares shall be listed or quoted for trading on NYSE, NYSE American, or remain listed on Nasdaq; (iv) trading in Company’s Common Shares will not be suspended, halted, chilled, frozen, reach zero bid or otherwise cease trading on Company’s principal trading market; (v) Company will not make any Restricted Issuance (as defined below) without Investor’s prior written consent, which consent may be granted or withheld in Investor’s sole and absolute discretion; and (vi) Company shall not enter into any agreement or otherwise agree to any covenant, condition, or obligation that locks up, restricts in any way or otherwise prohibits Company: (a) from entering into a variable rate transaction with Investor or any affiliate of Investor, or (b) from issuing Common Shares, preferred stock, warrants, convertible Pre-Paid Purchases, other debt securities, or any other Company securities to Investor or any affiliate of Investor. For purposes hereof, the term “Restricted Issuance” means the issuance, incurrence or guaranty of any debt obligations other than trade payables or intercompany debt incurred in the ordinary course of business, or the issuance of any securities that (1) have or may have conversion rights of any kind, contingent, conditional or otherwise, in which the number of shares that may be issued pursuant to such conversion right varies with the market price of the Common Shares, (2) are or may become convertible into Common Shares (including without limitation convertible debt, warrants or convertible preferred shares), with a conversion price that varies with the market price of the Common Shares, even if such security only becomes convertible following an event of default, the passage of time, or another trigger event or condition; or (3) have a fixed conversion price, exercise price or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security (A) due to a change in the market price of Company’s Common Shares since the date of the initial issuance or (B) upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of Company
4
(including, without limitation, any “full ratchet” or “weighted average” anti-dilution provisions, but not including any standard anti-dilution protection for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction). For the avoidance of doubt, the issuance of Common Shares under, pursuant to, in exchange for or in connection with any contract or instrument, whether convertible or not, is deemed a Restricted Issuance for purposes hereof if the number of Common Shares to be issued is based upon or related in any way to the market price of the Common Shares, including, but not limited to, Common Shares issued in connection with a Section 3(a)(9) exchange, a Section 3(a)(10) settlement, or any other similar settlement or exchange. For the further avoidance of doubt, Common Shares issued pursuant to any of the following will not be considered Restricted Issuances: (i) ATM facilities, (ii) primary offerings without variable price mechanics, or (iii) issuances of Common Shares in settlement of warrants issued by Company in its initial public offering on December 15, 2020.
5. Additional Covenants. Company covenants with Investor as follows, which covenants are for the benefit of Investor during the Commitment Period:
5.1. Registration Statement.
(a) The Registration Statement. Company will file, in accordance with the provisions of the 1933 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, with the SEC within forty-five (45) days from the Closing Date a registration statement on Form S-1 (the “Initial Registration Statement”) registering at least 3,049,000 Common Shares for the Commitment Shares and issuances pursuant to the Pre-Paid Purchases, including a base prospectus, with respect to the issuance and sale of securities by Company, including Common Shares, which contains, among other things a Plan of Distribution section disclosing the methods by which Company may sell the Common Shares. Except where the context otherwise requires, the Initial Registration Statement, as amended when it becomes effective, including all documents filed as part thereof or incorporated by reference therein, and including any information contained in a Prospectus subsequently filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) (a “Prospectus”) under the 1933 Act or deemed to be a part of the Initial Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 430B of the 1933 Act, is herein called the “Registration Statement.” Following Company receiving Approval (as defined below) for issuances of Common Shares to exceed the Exchange Cap (as defined below) Company will file one or more Registration Statements as necessary to have sufficient Common Shares registered to accommodate the full Commitment Amount. Following effectiveness of the Initial Registration Statement, Company will use reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement at all times Investor owns any of the Securities.
(b) Initial Disclosure. Promptly after the execution of the Initial Pre-Paid Purchase, Company shall file with the SEC a current report on Form 8-K or such other appropriate form as determined by counsel to Company (the “Current Report”), relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement disclosing all information relating to the transaction contemplated hereby required to be disclosed therein.
(c) Delivery of Final Documents. Company shall furnish to Investor without charge, (i) at least one copy of each Registration Statement as declared effective by the SEC and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference, all exhibits and each preliminary prospectus, (ii) at the request of Investor, at least one copy of the final prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (or such other number of copies as Investor may reasonably request) and (iii) such other documents as Investor may reasonably request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the Common Shares owned by Investor pursuant to a Registration Statement. Filing of the foregoing with the SEC via its XXXXX system shall satisfy the requirements of this Section.
5
(d) Amendments and Other Filings. Company shall (i) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to a Registration Statement and the related prospectus used in connection with such Registration Statement, and (ii) all Periodic Reports as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective at all times during the Commitment Period.
(e) Blue-Sky. To the extent legally required, Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to, if required by Applicable Laws, (i) register and qualify the Common Shares covered by a Registration Statement under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as Investor reasonably requests, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions, such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Commitment Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Commitment Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Common Shares for sale in such jurisdictions. Company shall promptly notify Investor of the receipt by Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the registration or qualification of any of the Common Shares for sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.
5.2. Listing of Common Shares. As of each Purchase Notice Date, Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Shares to be listed on the Principal Market.
5.3. Notice of Certain Events Affecting Registration; Suspension of Right to Request a Pre-Paid Purchase. Company will promptly notify Investor, and confirm in writing, upon its becoming aware of the occurrence of any of the following events in respect of a Registration Statement or related Prospectus (in each of which cases the information provided to Investor will be kept strictly confidential): (i) except for requests made in connection with SEC investigations, receipt of any request for additional information by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority during the period of effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any request for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or related Prospectus; (ii) the issuance by the SEC or any other federal governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; (iii) receipt of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Common Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or written threat of any proceeding for such purpose; (iv) the happening of any event that makes any statement made in the Registration Statement or related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in the Registration Statement, related Prospectus or documents so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and that in the case of the related Prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or of the necessity to amend the Registration Statement or supplement a related Prospectus to comply with the 1933 Act or any other law; (v) Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement would be appropriate and Company will promptly make available to Investor any such supplement or amendment to the related Prospectus. Investor shall not deliver to Company any Purchase Notice, and Company shall not sell any Shares pursuant to any pending Purchase Notice, during the continuation of any of the foregoing events (each of the events described in the immediately preceding clauses (i) through (v),
6
inclusive, a “Material Outside Event”). Company shall be obligated to cure any Material Outside Event within ten (10) Trading Days. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein this paragraph, consistent with Section 5.8, the Company may not disclose to the Investor any material information not yet publicly available or disclosed to other shareholders.
5.4. Market Activities. Company will not, directly or indirectly, take any action designed to cause or result in, or that constitutes or might reasonably be expected to constitute, the manipulation of the price of any security of Company under Regulation M of the 1934 Act.
5.5. Current Report. From and after the filing of the Current Report with the SEC, Company shall have publicly disclosed all material, nonpublic information delivered to Investor (or Investor’s representatives or agents) by Company or any of its subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives (if any) in connection with Company and any of its subsidiaries. Company understands and confirms that Investor will rely on the foregoing representations in effecting resales of Purchase Shares under the Registration Statement.
5.6. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds from Pre-Paid Purchases paid to Company by Investor or from the sale of the Purchase Shares by Company to Investor shall be used by Company in the manner as will be set forth in the Registration Statement (and any post-effective amendment thereto) thereto filed pursuant to this Agreement, and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
5.7. No Frustration. Company shall not enter into, announce or recommend to its stockholders any agreement, plan, arrangement or transaction in or of which the terms thereof would restrict, materially delay, conflict with or impair the ability or right of Company to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, including, without limitation, the obligation of Company to deliver the Purchase Shares to Investor in respect of a Purchase Notice.
5.8. Material Non-Public Information. Company covenants and agrees that, other than with Investor’s prior consent, it shall refrain from disclosing, and shall cause its officers, directors, employees and agents to refrain from disclosing, any material non-public information (as determined under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, or the rules and regulations of the SEC) to Investor without also disseminating such information to the public within a reasonable time period thereafter, unless prior to disclosure of such information Company identifies such information as being material non-public information and provides Investor with the opportunity to accept or refuse to accept such material non-public information for review.
5.9. Exchange Cap. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, Company and Investor agree that the total cumulative number of Common Shares issued to Investor under all Pre-Paid Purchases together with all other Transaction Documents may not exceed the requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) (the “Exchange Cap”), except that such limitation will not apply following Approval (defined below). At Company’s next annual meeting, Company will seek stockholder approval of all Pre-Paid Purchases that have been or may be issued hereunder covering the full Commitment Amount and the issuance of Purchase Shares under all Pre-Paid Purchases in excess of the Exchange Cap (the “Approval”). If Company is unable to obtain such Approval: (a) it will continue seeking Approval every 180 days until the Approval is obtained; and (b) any remaining Pre-Paid Purchase Outstanding Balance after reaching the Exchange Cap must be repaid in cash. For the avoidance of doubt, failure to obtain the Approval shall not be considered a breach of this Agreement.

6. Indemnification.
6.1. Indemnification by Company. In consideration of Investor’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and acquiring the Pre-Paid Purchases hereunder, and in addition to all of Company’s other obligations under this Agreement, Company shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless Investor and its officers, directors, managers, members, partners, employees and agents (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) and each person who controls Investor within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act (collectively, the “Investor Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and reasonable and documented expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Investor Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by Investor Indemnitees or any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement for the registration of the Purchase Shares as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in any related prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; provided, however, that Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to Company by or on behalf of Investor specifically for inclusion therein; (b) any material misrepresentation or breach of any material representation or material warranty made by Company in this Agreement or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby; or (c) any material breach of any material covenant, material agreement or material obligation of Company contained in this Agreement or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by Company may be unenforceable under Applicable Laws, Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities, which is permissible under Applicable Laws. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the mechanics and procedures with respect to the rights and obligations under this Section 6.1 (Indemnification by Company) shall be the same as those set forth in Section __ of the Registration Rights Agreement.
6.2. Indemnification by Investor. In consideration of Company’s execution and delivery of this Agreement, and in addition to all of Investor’s other obligations under this Agreement, Investor shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless Company and all of its officers, directors, shareholders, employees and agents (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) and each person who controls Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act (collectively, the “Company Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Company Indemnitees or any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement for the registration of the Purchase Shares as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in any related prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; provided, however, that Investor will only be liable for written information relating to Investor furnished to Company by or on behalf of Investor specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity, and will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to Investor by or on behalf of Company specifically for inclusion therein; (b) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by Investor in this Agreement or any instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby executed by Investor; or (c) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of Investor contained in this Agreement or any other certificate,
8
instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby executed by Investor. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by Investor may be unenforceable under Applicable Laws, Investor shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities, which is permissible under Applicable Laws. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the mechanics and procedures with respect to the rights and obligations under this Section 6.2 (Indemnification by Investor) shall be the same as those set forth in Section __ of the Registration Rights Agreement.
6.3. Notice of Claims. Promptly after receipt by an Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving an Indemnified Liability, such Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee, as applicable, shall, if a claim for an Indemnified Liability in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof; but the failure to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it of liability under this Section 6 except to the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced by such failure. The indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually reasonably satisfactory to the indemnifying party and Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee, as the case may be; provided, however, that an Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the actual and reasonable third party fees and expenses of not more than one counsel for such Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee which relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee reasonably apprised as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent, provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of Investor Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received and payment therefor is due.
7. Conditions to Company’s Obligation to Sell. The obligation of Company hereunder to issue and sell the Initial Pre-Paid Purchase to Investor at the Closing is subject to the satisfaction, on or before the Closing Date, of each of the following conditions:
7.1. Investor shall have executed this Agreement, the Initial Pre-Paid Purchase and the Registration Rights Agreement and delivered the same to Company.
7.2. Investor shall have delivered the Initial Purchase Price to Company in accordance with Section 1.2 above.
9
8. Conditions to Investor’s Obligation to Purchase. The obligation of Investor hereunder to purchase the Initial Pre-Paid Purchase at the Closing is subject to the satisfaction, on or before the Closing Date, of each of the following conditions, provided that these conditions are for Investor’s sole benefit and may be waived by Investor at any time in its sole discretion:
8.1. Company shall have executed this Agreement and the Initial Pre-Paid Purchase and delivered the same to Investor.
8.2. Company shall have issued the Commitment Shares to Investor.
8.3. Company shall have executed a Registration Rights Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) and delivered the same to Investor.
8.4. Company shall have delivered to Investor a fully executed Irrevocable Letter of Instructions to Transfer Agent (the “TA Letter”) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C acknowledged and agreed to in writing by Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”).
8.5. Company shall have delivered to Investor a fully executed Officer’s Certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D evidencing Company’s approval of the Transaction Documents.

9. Reservation of Shares. On the date hereof, Company will reserve 3,049,000 Common Shares from its authorized and unissued Common Shares to provide for all issuances of Common Shares under this Agreement and all Pre-Paid Purchases (the “Share Reserve”). Company further agrees following receipt of the Approval to add additional Common Shares to the Share Reserve in increments of 100,000 shares as and when requested by Investor if as of the date of any such request the number of shares being held in the Share Reserve is less than three (3) times the number of Common Shares equal to the Pre-Paid Purchase Outstanding Balance divided by the Purchase Share Purchase Price (as defined in the Pre-Paid Purchases). Company shall further require the Transfer Agent to hold the Common Shares reserved pursuant to the Share Reserve exclusively for the benefit of Investor and to issue such shares to Investor promptly upon Investor’s delivery of a Purchase Notice under the Pre-Paid Purchase. Finally, Company shall require the Transfer Agent to issue Common Shares pursuant to the Pre-Paid Purchase to Investor out of its authorized and unissued shares, and not the Share Reserve, to the extent Common Shares have been authorized, but not issued, and are not included in the Share Reserve. The Transfer Agent shall only issue Common Shares out of the Share Reserve to the extent there are no other authorized shares available for issuance and then only with Investor’s written consent.
10. Most Favored Nation. So long as any Pre-Paid Purchase is outstanding, upon any issuance by Company of any security (including Pre-Paid Purchases issued after the Initial Pre-Paid Purchase) with any term or condition more favorable to the holder of such security or with a term in favor of the holder of such security that was not similarly provided to Investor in the Transaction Documents,
10
then Company shall notify Investor of such additional or more favorable term and such term, at Investor’s option, shall become a part of the Transaction Documents for the benefit of Investor. Additionally, if Company fails to notify Investor of any such additional or more favorable term, but Investor becomes aware that Company has granted such a term to any third party, Investor may notify Company of such additional or more favorable term and such term shall become a part of the Transaction Documents retroactive to the date on which such term was granted to the applicable third party. The types of terms contained in another security that may be more favorable to the holder of such security include, but are not limited to, terms addressing floor prices, fixed purchase prices, conversion discounts, conversion lookback periods, interest rates, original issue discounts, stock sale price, conversion price per share, warrant coverage, warrant exercise price, and anti-dilution/conversion and exercise price resets.
11. Certain Definitions.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a definitive agreement that contemplates a Change of Control is entered into after the Closing, the Commitment Period for any Pre-Paid Purchases shall automatically terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such Change of Control. The Company may waive this condition subsequent, at its sole discretion. For the purposes of this section, the term “Change of Control” shall mean the transfer (whether by tender offer, merger, stock purchase, consolidation or other similar transaction), in one transaction or a series of related transactions, to a person or group of affiliated persons of the Company’s securities if, after such transfer, such person or group of affiliated persons would hold more than 50% of outstanding voting securities of the Company, or would otherwise have the power to control the Company or to direct the operations of the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, the termination of the Commitment Period will not effect Company’s obligations with respect to Pre-Paid Purchases issued prior to the termination of the Commitment Period.
11.3. “Maximum Purchase Amount” means $2,500,000.00 less the Pre-Paid Purchase Outstanding Balance, rounded down to the nearest $1,000.00.

11
11.7. “Pre-Paid Purchase Outstanding Balance” means the aggregate outstanding balance of all outstanding Pre-Paid Purchases.
11.8. “Principal Market” means the Nasdaq Capital Market; provided however, that in the event Company’s Common Shares are ever listed or traded on the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE American, the Nasdaq Global Market, or the Nasdaq Global Select Market, then the “Principal Market” shall mean such other market or exchange on which Company’s Common Shares are then listed or traded.
11.9. “Purchase Notice” means a written notice in the form of Exhibit A to the Pre-Paid Purchase delivered by Investor to Company requiring Company to sell Purchase Shares to Investor.

12. Miscellaneous. The provisions set forth in this Section 12 shall apply to this Agreement, as well as all other Transaction Documents as if these terms were fully set forth therein; provided, however, that in the event there is a conflict between any provision set forth in this Section 12 and any provision in any other Transaction Document, the provision in such other Transaction Document shall govern.
12.1. Arbitration of Claims. The parties shall submit all Claims (as defined in Exhibit F) arising under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any other agreement between the parties and their affiliates or any Claim relating to the relationship of the parties to binding arbitration pursuant to the arbitration provisions set forth in Exhibit F attached hereto (the “Arbitration Provisions”). For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that the injunction described in Section 12.3 below may be pursued in an arbitration that is separate and apart from any other arbitration regarding all other Claims arising under the Transaction Documents. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the Arbitration Provisions are unconditionally binding on the parties hereto and are severable from all other provisions of this Agreement. By executing this Agreement, Company represents, warrants and covenants that Company has reviewed the Arbitration Provisions carefully, consulted with legal counsel about such provisions (or waived its right to do so), understands that the Arbitration Provisions are intended to allow for the expeditious and efficient resolution of any dispute hereunder, agrees to the terms and limitations set forth in the Arbitration Provisions, and that Company will not take a position contrary to the foregoing representations. Company acknowledges and agrees that Investor may rely upon the foregoing representations and covenants of Company regarding the Arbitration Provisions.
12.2. Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of Utah, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Utah or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Utah. Each party consents to and expressly agrees that the exclusive venue for arbitration of any dispute arising out of or relating to any Transaction Document or the relationship of the parties or their affiliates shall be in Salt Lake County, Utah. Without modifying the parties’ obligations to resolve disputes hereunder pursuant to the Arbitration Provisions, for any litigation arising in connection with any of the Transaction Documents (and notwithstanding the terms (specifically including any governing law and venue terms) of any transfer agent services agreement or other agreement between the Transfer Agent and Company, such litigation specifically includes, without limitation any action between or involving Company and the Transfer Agent under the TA Letter or otherwise related to Investor in any way (specifically including, without limitation, any action where Company seeks to obtain an injunction, temporary restraining order, or otherwise prohibit the Transfer Agent from issuing Common Shares to Investor for any reason)),
12
each party hereto hereby (i) consents to and expressly submits to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in Salt Lake County, Utah, (ii) expressly submits to the exclusive venue of any such court for the purposes hereof, (iii) agrees to not bring any such action (specifically including, without limitation, any action where Company seeks to obtain an injunction, temporary restraining order, or otherwise prohibit the Transfer Agent from issuing Common Shares to Investor for any reason) outside of any state or federal court sitting in Salt Lake County, Utah, and (iv) waives any claim of improper venue and any claim or objection that such courts are an inconvenient forum or any other claim, defense or objection to the bringing of any such proceeding in such jurisdiction or to any claim that such venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper. Finally, Company covenants and agrees to name Investor as a party in interest in, and provide written notice to Investor in accordance with Section 12.10 below prior to bringing or filing, any action (including without limitation any filing or action against any person or entity that is not a party to this Agreement, including without limitation the Transfer Agent) that is related in any way to the Transaction Documents or any transaction contemplated herein or therein, including without limitation any action brought by Company to enjoin or prevent the issuance of any Common Shares to Investor by the Transfer Agent, and further agrees to timely name Investor as a party to any such action. Company acknowledges that the governing law and venue provisions set forth in this Section 12.2 are material terms to induce Investor to enter into the Transaction Documents and that but for Company’s agreements set forth in this Section 12.2 Investor would not have entered into the Transaction Documents.
12.3. Specific Performance. Company acknowledges and agrees that Investor may suffer irreparable harm in the event that Company fails to perform any material provision of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents in accordance with its specific terms. It is accordingly agreed that Investor shall be entitled to one or more injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement or such other Transaction Document and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof or thereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which Investor may be entitled under the Transaction Documents, at law or in equity. Company specifically agrees that: (a) following an Event of Default (as defined in the Initial Pre-Paid Purchase) under any Pre-Paid Purchase, Investor shall have the right to seek and receive injunctive relief from a court or an arbitrator prohibiting Company from issuing any of its Common Shares or preferred stock to any party unless the Pre-Paid Purchase Outstanding Balance is being paid in full simultaneously with such issuance; and (b) following a breach of Section 4(vi) above, Investor shall have the right to seek and receive injunctive relief from a court or arbitrator invalidating such lock-up. Company specifically acknowledges that Investor’s right to obtain specific performance constitutes bargained for leverage and that the loss of such leverage would result in irreparable harm to Investor. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event Investor seeks to obtain an injunction from a court or an arbitrator against Company or specific performance of any provision of any Transaction Document, such action shall not be a waiver of any right of Investor under any Transaction Document, at law, or in equity, including without limitation its rights to arbitrate any Claim pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents, nor shall Investor’s pursuit of an injunction prevent Investor, under the doctrines of claim preclusion, issues preclusion, res judicata or other similar legal doctrines, from pursuing other Claims in the future in a separate arbitration.
12.4. Calculation Disputes. Notwithstanding the Arbitration Provisions, in the case of a dispute as to any determination or arithmetic calculation under the Transaction Documents, including without limitation, calculating the Outstanding Balance, Market Price, VWAP (each, as defined in the Initial Pre-Paid Purchase) or the number of Purchase Shares (each, a “Calculation”), Company or Investor (as the case may be) shall submit any disputed Calculation via email or facsimile with confirmation of receipt (i) within two (2) Trading Days after receipt of the applicable notice giving rise to such dispute to Company or Investor (as the case may be) or (ii) if no notice gave rise to such dispute, at any time after Investor learned of the circumstances giving rise to such dispute. If Investor and Company are unable to agree upon such Calculation within two (2) Trading Days of such disputed Calculation being submitted to Company or Investor (as the case may be), then Investor will promptly submit via email or facsimile the disputed Calculation to Unkar Systems Inc. (“Unkar Systems”). Investor shall cause Unkar Systems to perform the Calculation and notify Company and Investor of the results no later than ten (10) Trading Days from the time it receives such disputed Calculation. Unkar Systems’ determination of the
13
disputed Calculation shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error. Unkar Systems’ fee for performing such Calculation shall be paid by the incorrect party, or if both parties are incorrect, by the party whose Calculation is furthest from the correct Calculation as determined by Unkar Systems. In the event Company is the losing party, no extension of the Delivery Date (as defined in the Initial Pre-Paid Purchase) shall be granted and Company shall incur all effects for failing to deliver the applicable shares in a timely manner as set forth in the Transaction Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Investor may, in its sole discretion, designate an independent, reputable investment bank or accounting firm other than Unkar Systems to resolve any such dispute and in such event, all references to “Unkar Systems” herein will be replaced with references to such independent, reputable investment bank or accounting firm so designated by Investor.
12.5. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.
12.6. Headings. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement.
12.7. Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform to such statute or rule of law. Any provision hereof which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof.
12.8. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the other Transaction Documents, contains the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein and therein and, except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither Company nor Investor makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. For the avoidance of doubt, all prior term sheets or other documents between Company and Investor, or any affiliate thereof, related to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (collectively, “Prior Agreements”), that may have been entered into between Company and Investor, or any affiliate thereof, are hereby null and void and deemed to be replaced in their entirety by the Transaction Documents. To the extent there is a conflict between any term set forth in any Prior Agreement and the term(s) of the Transaction Documents, the Transaction Documents shall govern.
12.9. Amendments. No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by both parties hereto.
12.10. Notices. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given in writing (unless otherwise specified herein) and shall be deemed effectively given on the earliest of: (i) the date delivered, if delivered by personal delivery as against written receipt therefor or by email to an executive officer named below or such officer’s successor, or by facsimile (with successful transmission confirmation which is kept by sending party), (ii) the earlier of the date delivered or the third Trading Day after deposit, postage Pre-Paid, in the United States Postal Service by certified mail, or (iii) the earlier of the date delivered or the third Trading Day after mailing by express courier, with delivery costs and fees Pre-Paid, in each case, addressed to each of the other parties thereunto entitled at the following addresses (or at such other addresses as such party may designate by five (5) calendar days’ advance written notice similarly given to each of the other parties hereto):

12.14. Investor’s Rights and Remedies Cumulative. All rights, remedies, and powers conferred in this Agreement and the Transaction Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies, and shall be in addition to every other right, power, and remedy that Investor may have, whether specifically granted in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or existing at law, in equity, or by statute, and any and all such rights and remedies may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as Investor may deem expedient.
12.15. Attorneys’ Fees and Cost of Collection. In the event any suit, action or arbitration is filed by either party against the other to interpret or enforce any of the Transaction Documents, the unsuccessful party to such action agrees to pay to the prevailing party all costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees incurred therein, including the same with respect to an appeal. The “prevailing party” shall be the party in whose favor a judgment is entered, regardless of whether judgment is entered on all claims asserted by such party and regardless of the amount of the judgment; or where, due to the assertion of counterclaims, judgments are entered in favor of and against both parties, then the arbitrator shall determine the “prevailing party” by taking into account the relative dollar amounts of the judgments or, if the judgments involve nonmonetary relief, the relative importance and value of such relief. Nothing herein shall restrict or impair an arbitrator’s or a court’s power to award fees and expenses for frivolous or bad faith pleading. If (i) any Pre-Paid Purchase is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or enforcement prior to commencing arbitration or legal proceedings, or is collected or enforced through any arbitration or legal proceeding, or Investor otherwise takes action to collect amounts due under the Pre-Paid Purchases or to enforce the provisions of the Pre-Paid Purchases, or (ii) there occurs any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership of Company or other proceedings affecting Company’s creditors’ rights and involving a claim under the Pre-Paid Purchases; then Company shall pay the costs incurred by Investor for such collection, enforcement or action or in connection with such bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other proceeding, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, expenses, deposition costs, and disbursements.
12.16. Waiver. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in the form of a writing signed by the party granting the waiver. No waiver of any provision or consent to any prohibited action shall constitute a waiver of any other provision or consent to any other prohibited action, whether or not similar. No waiver or consent shall constitute a continuing waiver or consent or commit a party to provide a waiver or consent in the future except to the extent specifically set forth in writing.
12.17. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO DEMAND THAT ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT, OR THE RELATIONSHIPS OF THE PARTIES HERETO BE TRIED BY JURY. THIS WAIVER EXTENDS TO ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO DEMAND A TRIAL BY JURY ARISING UNDER COMMON LAW OR ANY APPLICABLE STATUTE, LAW, RULE OR REGULATION. FURTHER, EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT SUCH PARTY IS KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVING SUCH PARTY’S RIGHT TO DEMAND TRIAL BY JURY.

PRE - PAID PURCHASE # 1
May 22, 2024 | U.S. $2,625,000.00 |
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, CXApp Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Company”), promises to pay to Streeterville Capital, LLC, a Utah limited liability company, or its successors or assigns (“Investor”), $2,625,000.00 and any interest, fees, charges, and late fees accrued hereunder in accordance with the terms set forth herein and to pay interest on the Outstanding Balance at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum from the Purchase Price Date until the same is paid in full. All interest calculations hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve (12) thirty (30) day months, shall compound daily and shall be payable in accordance with the terms of this Pre-Paid Purchase #1 (this “Pre-Paid Purchase”), which is issued and made effective as of the date set forth above (the “Effective Date”). This Pre-Paid Purchase is issued pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated May 22, 2024, as the same may be amended from time to time, by and between Company and Investor (the “Purchase Agreement”). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Attachment 1 attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
This Pre-Paid Purchase carries an original issue discount of $125,000.00 (“OID”). In addition, Company agrees to pay $20,000.00 to Investor to cover Investor’s legal fees, accounting costs, due diligence, monitoring and other transaction costs incurred in connection with the purchase and sale of this Pre-Paid Purchase (the “Transaction Expense Amount”). The OID is included in the initial principal balance of this Pre-Paid Purchase and is deemed to be fully earned and non-refundable as of the Purchase Price Date. The Initial Purchase Price (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) shall be payable as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The Transaction Expense Amount will be deducted from the amount funded at issuance.
1. Payment; Prepayment; Effectiveness of Registration Statement.
1.1. Payment. All payments owing hereunder shall be in lawful money of the United States of America or Purchase Shares, as provided for herein, and delivered to Investor at the address or bank account furnished to Company for that purpose. All payments shall be applied first to (a) costs of collection, if any, then to (b) fees and charges, if any, then to (c) accrued and unpaid interest, and thereafter, to (d) principal.
1.2. Prepayment. So long as no Event of Default (as defined below) has occurred, Company shall have the right, exercisable on not less than twenty (20) Trading Days prior written notice to Investor to prepay the Outstanding Balance (less such portion of the Outstanding Balance for which Company has received a Purchase Notice (as defined below) from Investor where the applicable Purchase Shares have not yet been delivered) of this Pre-Paid Purchase, in part or in full, in accordance with this Section 1.2. Any notice of prepayment hereunder (an “Optional Prepayment Notice”) shall be delivered to Investor in accordance with the notice provisions set forth in the Purchase Agreement and shall state: (i) that Company is exercising its right to prepay this Pre-Paid Purchase, and (ii) the date of prepayment, which shall be not less than twenty (20) Trading Days from the date of the Optional Prepayment Notice. On the date fixed for prepayment (the “Optional Prepayment Date”), Company shall make payment of the Optional Prepayment Amount (as defined below) to or upon the order of Investor as may be specified by Investor in writing to Company. For the avoidance of doubt, Investor shall be entitled to exercise its purchase rights in Section 3 until the Optional Prepayment Date. If Company exercises its right to prepay this Pre-Paid Purchase, Company shall make payment to Investor of an amount in cash equal to 115% multiplied by the then Outstanding Balance of this Pre-Paid Purchase being prepaid (the “Optional Prepayment Amount”). In the event Company delivers the Optional Prepayment Amount to Investor prior to the Optional Prepayment Date, the Optional Prepayment Amount shall not be deemed to have been paid
to Investor until the Optional Prepayment Date. In the event Company delivers the Optional Prepayment Amount without an Optional Prepayment Notice, then the Optional Prepayment Date will be deemed to be the date that is twenty (20) Trading Days from the date that the Optional Prepayment Amount was delivered to Investor and Investor shall be entitled to exercise its purchase rights set forth herein during such twenty (20) Trading Day period. In addition, if Company delivers an Optional Prepayment Notice and fails to pay the Optional Prepayment Amount due to Investor within twenty (20) Trading Days following the Optional Prepayment Date, Company shall forever forfeit its right to prepay this Pre-Paid Purchase.
1.3. Effectiveness of Registration Statement. In the event the Initial Registration Statement (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) has not been declared effective by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission within ninety (90) days of the Effective Date, then the Outstanding Balance will automatically increase by one percent (1%) on such 90th day and continue to increase by one percent (1%) for each thirty (30) days that the Initial Registration Statement is not declared effective.
2. Security. This Pre-Paid Purchase is unsecured.
3. Investor Purchases.
3.1. Purchases; Mechanics. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Pre-Paid Purchase, Investor, at its sole discretion, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase from Company, and Company shall issue and sell to Investor, Purchase Shares by the delivery to Company of Purchase Notices as provided herein.
(a) Purchase Notice. At any time following the earlier of six (6) months from the Purchase Price Date and the effectiveness of the Initial Registration Statement, Investor may, by providing written notice to Company in the form set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto (each, a “Purchase Notice”), require Company to issue and sell Purchase Shares to Investor, in accordance with the following provisions:
(i) Investor shall, in each Purchase Notice, indicate the portion of the Outstanding Balance that Investor elects to apply to the purchase of Purchase Shares pursuant to this Pre-Paid Purchase (each, a “Purchase”, and such amount, the “Purchase Amount”), in its sole discretion, and the timing of delivery; provided that the Purchase Amount shall not exceed the Outstanding Balance, or result in Investor exceeding the limitation set forth in Section 3.1(b).
(ii) Each Purchase Notice shall be delivered to Company in accordance with the notice provisions set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
(iii) Each Purchase Notice shall set forth the Purchase Amount, the Purchase Share Purchase Price, the number of Purchase Shares to be issued by Company and purchased by Investor, and the remaining Outstanding Balance following the Closing (as defined below) of the Purchase.
(iv) Any Purchase Shares issued hereunder must be issued free trading to Investor pursuant to: (1) an effective Registration Statement (as defined in the Purchase Agreement); or (2) an applicable exemption from registration (e.g., Rule 144).

(b) Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Pre-Paid Purchase or the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), Company shall not effect any issuance of Purchase Shares pursuant to this Pre-Paid Purchase to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance would cause Investor (together with its affiliates) to beneficially own a number of Common Shares exceeding 9.99% of the number of Common Shares outstanding on such date (including for such purpose the Common Shares issuable upon such issuance) (the “Maximum Percentage”). For purposes of this section, beneficial ownership of Common Shares will be determined pursuant to Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). The Maximum Percentage is enforceable, unconditional and non-waivable and shall apply to all affiliates and assigns of Investor.
3.2. Closings. The closing of each Purchase and each sale and purchase of Purchase Shares (each, a “Closing”) shall take place as soon as practicable on or after each Purchase Notice Date in accordance with the procedures set forth below:
(a) Promptly after receipt of a Purchase Notice with respect to each Purchase and, in any event, not later than one Trading Day after such receipt, Company will, or will cause its transfer agent to, electronically transfer such number of Purchase Shares to be purchased by Investor (as set forth in the Purchase Notice) by crediting Investor’s account or its designee’s account at DTC through its DWAC system or by such other means of delivery as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto, and transmit notification to Investor that such share transfer has been requested. Promptly upon receipt of such notification, Investor shall pay to Company the aggregate purchase price for the Purchase Shares (as set forth in the Purchase Notice) by offsetting the Purchase Amount against an equal amount outstanding under this Pre-Paid Purchase (first towards accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and then towards outstanding principal as shown in such Purchase Notice). No fractional shares shall be issued, and any fractional amounts shall be rounded to the nearest whole number of shares. To facilitate the transfer of the Purchase Shares by Investor, the Purchase Shares will not bear any restrictive legends so long as there is an effective Registration Statement or an available exemption from registration covering such Purchase Shares (it being understood and agreed by Investor that notwithstanding the lack of restrictive legends, Investor may only sell such Purchase Shares in compliance with the requirements of the Securities Act (including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements)).
(b) In connection with each Closing, each of Company and Investor shall deliver to the other all documents, instruments and writings expressly required to be delivered by either of them pursuant to this Pre-Paid Purchase in order to implement and effect the transactions contemplated herein.
4. Triggering Events; Events of Default and Remedies.
4.1. Triggering Event. If, at any time prior to this Pre-Paid Purchase being paid in full: (i) the VWAP is less than the Floor Price for at least five (5) Trading Days during a period of seven (7) consecutive Trading Days (a “Floor Price Trigger”), or (ii) Company has issued ninety percent (90%) or more of the Common Shares available under the Exchange Cap (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) (an “Exchange Cap Trigger;” and together with the Floor Price Trigger, each a “Trigger”) (the last such day of each such occurrence, a “Trigger Date”), then Company shall make monthly repayments of amounts outstanding under this Pre-Paid Purchase beginning on the third (3rd) Trading Day after the Trigger Date and continuing on the same day of each successive calendar month until the entire Outstanding Balance shall have been paid or until the payment obligation ceases in accordance with this section. Each monthly payment shall be in an amount equal to the sum of (i) $350,000.00, and (ii) all outstanding accrued and unpaid interest in respect of this Pre-Paid Purchase as of each payment date. The obligation of Company to make monthly payments hereunder shall cease (with respect to any payment that has not yet come due) if at any time after the Trigger Date (i) the VWAP is greater than 120% of the Floor Price for a period of five (5) consecutive Trading Days, in the case of a Floor Price Tigger, or (ii) the Exchange Cap no longer applies, in the case of an Exchange Cap Trigger, unless a subsequent Trigger occurs.

4.2. Event of Default. The following are events of default under this Pre-Paid Purchase (each, “Event of Default”): (a) Company fails to pay any principal, interest, fees, charges, or any other amount when due and payable hereunder; (b) a receiver, trustee or other similar official shall be appointed over Company or a material part of its assets and such appointment shall remain uncontested for twenty (20) days or shall not be dismissed or discharged within sixty (60) days; (c) Company becomes insolvent or generally fails to pay, or admits in writing its inability to pay, its debts as they become due, subject to applicable grace periods, if any; (d) Company makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (e) Company files a petition for relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law (domestic or foreign); (f) an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding is commenced or filed against Company; (g) Company fails to observe or perform any covenant set forth in Section 4 or Section 5 of the Purchase Agreement; (h) the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction without Investor’s prior written consent; (i) Company fails to timely establish and maintain the Share Reserve (as defined in the Purchase Agreement); (j) Company fails to deliver any Purchase Shares in accordance with the terms hereof; (k) any money judgment, writ or similar process is entered or filed against Company or any subsidiary of Company or any of its property or other assets for more than $500,000.00, and shall remain unvacated, unbonded or unstayed for a period of twenty (20) calendar days unless otherwise consented to by Investor; (l) Company fails to be DWAC Eligible; (m) Company or any subsidiary of Company, breaches any covenant or other term or condition contained in any Other Agreement in any material respect; (n) Company defaults or otherwise fails to observe or perform any covenant, obligation, condition or agreement of Company contained herein or in any other Transaction Document (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) in any material respect, other than those specifically set forth in this Section 4.2 and Section 4 and Section 5 of the Purchase Agreement; (o) any representation, warranty or other statement made or furnished by or on behalf of Company to Investor herein, in any Transaction Document, or otherwise in connection with the issuance of this Pre-Paid Purchase is false, incorrect, incomplete or misleading in any material respect when made or furnished; or (p) Company effectuates a reverse split of its Common Shares without twenty (20) Trading Days prior written notice to Investor.
4.3. Default Remedies. At any time and from time to time following the occurrence of any Event of Default, Investor may accelerate this Pre-Paid Purchase by written notice to Company, with the Outstanding Balance becoming immediately due and payable in cash at the Mandatory Default Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in clauses (b) – (f) of Section 4.2, an Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred and the Outstanding Balance as of the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default shall become immediately and automatically due and payable in cash at the Mandatory Default Amount. At any time following the occurrence of any Event of Default, upon written notice given by Investor to Company, interest shall accrue on the Outstanding Balance beginning on the date the applicable Event of Default occurred at an interest rate equal to the lesser of eighteen percent (18%) per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law (“Default Interest”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and for the avoidance of doubt, Investor may continue making Purchases pursuant to Section 3 at any time following an Event of Default until such time as the Outstanding Balance is paid in full. In connection with acceleration described herein, Investor need not provide, and Company hereby waives, any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, and Investor may immediately and without expiration of any grace period enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other remedies available to it under applicable law. Such acceleration may be rescinded and annulled by Investor at any time prior to payment hereunder and Investor shall have all rights as a holder of the Pre-Paid Purchase until such time, if any, as Investor receives full payment pursuant to this Section 4.3. No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Nothing herein shall limit Investor’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to Company’s failure to timely deliver Purchase Shares pursuant to a Purchase as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
4
5. Unconditional Obligation; No Offset. Company acknowledges that this Pre-Paid Purchase is an unconditional, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of Company not subject to offset, deduction or counterclaim of any kind. Company hereby waives any rights of offset it now has or may have hereafter against Investor, its successors and assigns, and agrees to make the payments or Purchases called for herein in accordance with the terms of this Pre-Paid Purchase.
6. Waiver. No waiver of any provision of this Pre-Paid Purchase shall be effective unless it is in the form of a writing signed by the party granting the waiver. No waiver of any provision or consent to any prohibited action shall constitute a waiver of any other provision or consent to any other prohibited action, whether or not similar. No waiver or consent shall constitute a continuing waiver or consent or commit a party to provide a waiver or consent in the future except to the extent specifically set forth in writing.
7. Rights Upon Issuance of Securities.
7.1. Subsequent Equity Sales. If Company or any subsidiary thereof, as applicable, at any time this Pre-Paid Purchase is outstanding, shall sell, issue or grant any Common Shares, option to purchase Common Shares, right to reprice, preferred shares convertible into Common Shares, debt, warrants, options or other instruments or securities which are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Shares to any party other than Investor (collectively, the “Equity Securities”) other than Exempt Issuances at an effective price per share less than the then effective Fixed Price (such issuance is referred to herein as a “Dilutive Issuance”), then, the Fixed Price shall be automatically reduced and only reduced to equal such lower effective price per share. If the holder of any Equity Securities so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options, or rights per share which are issued in connection with such Dilutive Issuance, be entitled to receive Common Shares at an effective price per share that is less than the Fixed Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Fixed Price on the date of such Dilutive Issuance, and the then effective Fixed Price shall be reduced and only reduced to equal such lower effective price per share. Such adjustments described above to the Fixed Price shall be permanent (subject to additional adjustments under this section), and shall be made whenever such Equity Securities are issued. Company shall notify Investor, in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the issuance of any Equity Securities subject to this Section 7.1, indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price, or other pricing terms (such notice, the “Dilutive Issuance Notice”). For purposes of clarity, whether or not Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 7.1, upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, on the date of such Dilutive Issuance the Fixed Price shall be lowered to equal the applicable effective price per share regardless of whether Company or Investor accurately refers to such lower effective price per share in any subsequent Purchase Notice.
7.2. Adjustment of Fixed Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Shares. Without limiting any provision hereof, if Company at any time on or after the Effective Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares, the Fixed Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. Without limiting any provision hereof, if Company at any time on or after the Effective Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares, the Fixed Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased. Any adjustment pursuant to this Section 7.2 shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination. If any event requiring an adjustment under this Section 7.2 occurs during the period that a Market Price is calculated hereunder, then the calculation of such Market Price shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect such event.
5
7.3. Other Events. In the event that Company (or any subsidiary) shall take any action to which the provisions hereof are not strictly applicable, or, if applicable, would not operate to protect Investor from dilution or if any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 7 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then Company’s board of directors shall in good faith determine and implement an appropriate adjustment in the Fixed Price so as to protect the rights of Investor, provided that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 7.3 will increase the Fixed Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 7, provided further that if Investor does not accept such adjustments as appropriately protecting its interests hereunder against such dilution, then Company’s board of directors and Investor shall agree, in good faith, upon an independent investment bank of nationally recognized standing to make such appropriate adjustments, whose determination shall be final and binding and whose fees and expenses shall be borne by Company.
8. Opinion of Counsel. In the event that an opinion of counsel is needed for Purchases under this Pre-Paid Purchase, Investor has the right to have any such opinion provided by its counsel.
9. Governing Law; Venue. This Pre-Paid Purchase shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Pre-Paid Purchase shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of Utah, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Utah or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Utah. The provisions set forth in the Purchase Agreement to determine the proper venue for any disputes are incorporated herein by this reference.
10. Arbitration of Disputes. By its issuance or acceptance of this Pre-Paid Purchase, each party agrees to be bound by the Arbitration Provisions (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) set forth as an exhibit to the Purchase Agreement.
11. Cancellation. After repayment of the entire Outstanding Balance, this Pre-Paid Purchase shall be deemed paid in full, shall automatically be deemed canceled, and shall not be reissued.
12. Amendments. The prior written consent of both parties hereto shall be required for any change or amendment to this Pre-Paid Purchase.
13. Assignments. Company may not assign this Pre-Paid Purchase without the prior written consent of Investor. This Pre-Paid Purchase and any Purchase Shares issued upon Purchase of this Pre-Paid Purchase may be offered, sold, assigned or transferred by Investor without the consent of Company.
14. Notices. Whenever notice is required to be given under this Pre-Paid Purchase, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be given in accordance with the subsection of the Purchase Agreement titled “Notices.”
15. Liquidated Damages. Investor and Company agree that in the event Company fails to comply with any of the terms or provisions of this Pre-Paid Purchase, Investor’s damages would be uncertain and difficult (if not impossible) to accurately estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates, future share prices, future trading volumes and other relevant factors. Accordingly, Investor and Company agree that any fees, balance adjustments, Default Interest or other charges assessed under this Pre-Paid Purchase are not penalties but instead are intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, liquidated damages (under Investor’s and Company’s expectations that any such liquidated damages will tack back to the Purchase Price Date for purposes of determining the holding period under Rule 144).
6
16. Severability. If any part of this Pre-Paid Purchase is construed to be in violation of any law, such part shall be modified to achieve the objective of Company and Investor to the fullest extent permitted by law and the balance of this Pre-Paid Purchase shall remain in full force and effect.
