Exhibit 10.1
This General Release Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into effective as of [_____], 2023 (the “Effective Date”), between FOXO Technologies Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the undersigned (the “Investor,” and together with the Company, the “Parties”, and each, a “Party”).
WHEREAS, the Investor is a former registered holder of 10% Original Issue Discount Convertible Debentures issued pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) in 2022 by FOXO Technologies Operating Company (“Legacy FOXO”) in a private placement (the “2022 Debentures”), which 2022 Debentures were automatically converted into Class A common stock of Legacy FOXO and exchanged by the Company for the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), in connection with the business combination between the Company’s predecessor, Delwinds Insurance Acquisition Corp. and Legacy FOXO, consummated on September 15, 2022;
WHEREAS, the Parties desire for the Company to issue 0.67 shares of Class A Common Stock for every $1.00 of Subscription Amount (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) of 2022 Debentures purchased by the Investor in exchange for the Release (as defined below) and the Investor’s other obligations, covenants, agreements, representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Parties desire to execute and deliver this Agreement on the terms and conditions set out herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set out above and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
1. General Release.
(a) In consideration of the covenants, agreements and undertakings of the Company under this Agreement, effective upon the Effective Date, the Investor, on behalf of itself and its present and former, direct and indirect, parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, predecessors, employees, officers, directors, shareholders, managers, members, agents, representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, “Releasors”), hereby releases, waives and forever discharges the Company and its present and former, direct and indirect, parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, predecessors, employees, officers, directors, shareholders, managers, members, agents, representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, “Releasees”) of and from any and all actions, causes of action, suits, losses, liabilities, rights, debts, dues, sums of money, accounts, reckonings, obligations, costs, expenses, liens, bonds, bills, specialties, covenants, contracts, controversies, agreements, promises, variances, trespasses, damages, judgments, extents, executions, claims and demands, of every kind and nature whatsoever, whether now known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, matured or unmatured, suspected or unsuspected, in law, admiralty or equity (collectively, “Claims”), which any of such Releasors ever had, now have or hereafter can, shall or may have against any of such Releasees for, upon or by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever from the beginning of time through the Effective Date, except for any Claims relating to rights and obligations preserved by, created by or otherwise arising out of this Agreement (the “Released Claims”, and such release, waiver and discharge, the “Release”). Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, by executing this Agreement the Investor shall not be deemed to have waived compliance with any provision of Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or of any rule or regulation thereunder, or of any rule of a self-regulatory organization.
(b) The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Investor may hereafter discover facts different from or in addition to those now known, or believed to be true, regarding the subject matter of this Agreement, and that such different or additional facts may give rise to claims currently unknown, unanticipated and unsuspected, and further acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, notwithstanding the existence of any different or additional facts. Furthermore, the Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Release constitutes a waiver and release of any rights or benefits that the law may provide, and that this Agreement is entered into knowingly and voluntarily, without duress or undue influence, in consideration for the promises, obligations and rights set forth in this Agreement. The Investor fully understands that if any facts regarding the subject matter underlying this Agreement are found hereafter to be other than, or different from, any fact now believed to be true, the Investor accepts and assumes the risk of such possible difference(s) in fact. Without conceding the applicability thereof, the Investor agrees that it is familiar with Section 1542 of the Civil Code of California, which provides:
“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.”
Accordingly, the Investor waives and relinquishes every right or benefit bestowed or potentially bestowed by Section 1542 above or any similar statute, rule or regulation in any state or jurisdiction, with respect to this Agreement.
(c) The Investor acknowledges and intends that this Agreement shall be effective as a bar to each and every one of the Released Claims. The Investor expressly consents that this Agreement shall be given full force and effect according to each and all of its terms and provisions, including those relating to unknown and unsuspected claims (notwithstanding any state statute that expressly limits the effectiveness of a general release of unknown, unsuspected or unanticipated claims), if any, as well as those relating to any other Released Claims. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that this waiver is an essential and material term of this Agreement and that without such waiver the Company would not have agreed to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Investor further agrees that in the event she, he or it, or any other Releasor, should assert any Released Claim seeking damages against any of the Releasees, this Agreement shall serve as a complete defense to any such Claim. The Investor agrees that neither this Agreement, nor the furnishing of the consideration for this Agreement, shall be deemed or construed at any time to be an admission by any Releasee or any Releasor of any improper or unlawful conduct. The Investor also agrees that if she, he or it, or any other Releasor, violates this Agreement by asserting any Released Claims against any Releasee, the Investor will pay all costs and expenses of defending against the suit incurred by such Releasee, including attorneys’ fees.
2. Class A Common Stock. As consideration for the Release and the Investor’s other obligations, covenants, agreements, representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, the Company shall issue to the Investor 0.67 shares of Class A Common Stock for every $1.00 of Subscription Amount of 2022 Debentures purchased by the Investor (the “Shares”).
3. Representations and Warranties. To induce the Company to issue the Shares to the Investor, the Investor hereby represents and warrants to the Company that:
(a) Organization and Authority. The Investor is validly existing and in good standing under its jurisdiction of organization and possesses all requisite power and authority necessary to enter into this Agreement, to grant the Release, to perform its obligations hereunder and carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The execution of this Agreement on behalf of the Investor, and the delivery of this Agreement by the Investor, have been duly authorized by all necessary actions on the part of the Investor. Upon execution and delivery by the Company, this Agreement is a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Investor, enforceable against the Investor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity.
(b) No Other Claims; No Assignment or Released Claims. The Investor (i) knows of no Claims against the Company relating to or arising out of the 2022 Debentures, or otherwise, that are not covered by the Release and (ii) has neither assigned nor transferred any of the Released Claims to any person or entity and no person or entity has subrogated to or has any interest or rights in any Released Claims.
(c) No Government Recommendation or Approval. The Investor understands that no federal or state agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the offering of the Shares.
2
(d) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby do not violate, conflict with or constitute a default under (i) the formation and governing documents of the Investor, (ii) any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Investor is a party or (iii) any law, statute, rule or regulation to which the Investor is subject, or any agreement, order, judgment or decree to which the Investor is subject.
(e) Experience, Financial Capability and Suitability. The Investor is: (i) sophisticated in financial matters and is able to evaluate the risks and benefits of the investment in the Shares and (ii) able to bear the economic risk of its investment in the Shares for an indefinite period of time because the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and therefore cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Investor is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Company and has the capacity to protect its own interests. The Investor must bear the economic risk of this investment until the Shares are sold pursuant to: (i) an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or (ii) an exemption from registration available with respect to such sale. The Investor is able to bear the economic risks of an investment in the Shares and to afford a complete loss of the Investor’s investment in the Shares.
(f) Access to Information; Independent Investigation. Prior to the execution of this Agreement, the Investor has had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from representatives of the Company concerning an investment in the Company, as well as the finances, operations, business and prospects of the Company, and the opportunity to obtain additional information to verify the accuracy of all information so obtained. In determining whether to make this investment, the Investor has relied solely on its own knowledge and understanding of the Company and its business based upon the Investor’s own due diligence investigation and the information furnished pursuant to this paragraph. The Investor understands that no person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representations which were not furnished pursuant to this Section 3 and the Investor has not relied on any other representations or information in making its investment decision, whether written or oral, relating to the Company, its operations and/or its prospects.
(g) Regulation D Offering. The Investor represents that it is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities and acknowledges the sale contemplated hereby is being made in reliance on a private placement exemption to “accredited investors” within the meaning of Section 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act or similar exemptions under state law.
(h) Investment Purposes. The Investor is acquiring the Shares solely for investment purposes, for the Investor’s own account and not for the account or benefit of any other person, and not with a view towards the distribution or dissemination thereof. The Investor did not decide to enter into this Agreement as a result of any general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502 under the Securities Act.
(i) Restrictions on Transfer. The Investor understands the Shares are being offered in a transaction not involving a public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act. The Investor understands the Shares will be “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, and the Investor understands that the certificates or book-entries representing the Shares will contain a legend in respect of such restrictions. If in the future the Investor decides to offer, resell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Shares, such Shares may be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred only pursuant to: (i) registration under the Securities Act, or (ii) an available exemption from registration. The Investor agrees that if any transfer of its Shares or any interest therein is proposed to be made, as a condition precedent to any such transfer, the Investor may be required to deliver to the Company an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company. Absent registration or an exemption, the Investor agrees not to resell the Shares.
(j) No Governmental Consents. No governmental, administrative or other third party consents or approvals are required, necessary or appropriate on the part of the Investor in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
3
(k) The Investor has accurately completed and executed the Accredited Investor Questionnaire attached hereto as Exhibit A concurrently with the execution of this Agreement. The Investor agrees to notify the Company immediately of any changes in any information provided in the Accredited Investor Questionnaire occurring prior to the issuance of the Shares to the Investor pursuant to this Agreement.
4. Registration. The Company agrees to file a resale registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) covering all of the Shares (the “Registration Statement”) within thirty (30) days of the issuance of the Shares; provided that the Investor has accurately completed and executed the Selling Securityholder Notice and Questionnaire attached hereto as Exhibit B concurrently with the execution of this Agreement (the “Selling Securityholder Notice and Questionnaire”). The Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Registration Statement “evergreen” for twelve (12) months from the date it is declared effective by the SEC or until Rule 144 is available to the holders of Shares who are not and have not been affiliates of the Company with respect to all of their Shares, whichever is earlier. The Company shall pay all expenses in connection with preparation and filing of the Registration Statement, including, without limitation, all registration, filing, stock exchange fees, printing expenses, all fees and expenses of complying with applicable securities laws, and the fees and disbursements of its counsel and of its independent accountants. The Investor shall be responsible for its own sales commissions, if any, transfer taxes and the expenses of any attorney or other advisor that the Investor decides to employ.
5. Miscellaneous.
(a) Necessary Acts. The Investor hereby agrees to perform any further acts and to execute and deliver any further documents that may be necessary or required to carry out the intent and provisions of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.
(b) Amendment and Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended, supplemented or modified except by an instrument in writing signed by the Parties. No failure or delay on the part of any Party or any assignee thereof, in exercising any power, right or remedy under this Agreement, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or remedy preclude any further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other power, right or remedy. Any waiver of any provision of this Agreement by any Party shall only be effective if in writing and shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or failure of the same provision or any other provision of this Agreement.
(c) Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof that would result in the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. Each of the Parties agrees that all controversies arising from or related to this Agreement shall be initiated in a state or federal court located the City of New York, and, accordingly, irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction and venue of such courts and agrees that service in any such action or proceeding may be made in any manner authorized by such courts.
(d) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES AGREES TO WAIVE HIS OR ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL IN CONNECTION WITH ANY MATTER ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY FURTHER REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT HE OR IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH HER, HIS OR ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT SHE, HE OR IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES HER, HIS OR ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL.
4
(e) Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the Parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
(f) Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer any legal or equitable rights, remedies or claims of any nature upon any person or entity that is not a Party or a successor or permitted assignee of a Party, except that the Releasees shall have the right to enforce their rights under Section 1 of this Agreement.
(g) Construction. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement.
(h) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature” and words of like import in this Agreement or in any other certificate, agreement or document related to this Agreement shall include images of manually executed signatures transmitted by electronic format (including “pdf,” “tiff” or “jpg”) and other electronic signatures (including DocuSign and AdobeSign). The use of electronic signatures and electronic records (including any contract or other record created, generated, sent, communicated, received or stored by electronic means) shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or use of a paper-based record-keeping system to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the Delaware Uniform Electronic Transactions Act and any other applicable law, including any state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act or the Uniform Commercial Code.

1 | Beneficially Owned: A “beneficial owner” of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise has or shares (i) voting power, including the power to direct the voting of such security, or (ii) investment power, including the power to dispose of, or direct the disposition of, such security. In addition, a person is deemed to have “beneficial ownership” of a security of which such person has the right to acquire beneficial ownership at any time within 60 days, including, but not limited to, any right to acquire such security: (i) through the exercise of any option, warrant or right, (ii) through the conversion of any security or (iii) pursuant to the power to revoke, or the automatic termination of, a trust, discretionary account or similar arrangement. |
It is possible that a security may have more than one “beneficial owner,” such as a trust, with two co-trustees sharing voting power, and the settlor or another third party having investment power, in which case each of the three would be the “beneficial owner” of the securities in the trust. The power to vote or direct the voting, or to invest or dispose of, or direct the investment or disposition of, a security may be indirect and arise from legal, economic, contractual or other rights, and the determination of beneficial ownership depends upon who ultimately possesses or shares the power to direct the voting or the disposition of the security.
The final determination of the existence of beneficial ownership depends upon the facts of each case. You may, if you believe the facts warrant it, disclaim beneficial ownership of securities that might otherwise be considered “beneficially owned” by you.
2 | Affiliate: An “affiliate” is a company or person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls you, or is controlled by you, or is under common control with you. |
