NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT

 

THIS NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made as of June 3, 2019 (the
“Effective Date”), by and among Phunware, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the “Company”), and the lenders named on the Schedule of Lenders attached
hereto as Schedule I (the “Schedule of Lenders”) (each, a “Lender,” and
collectively, the “Lenders”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this
Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Section 1.

 

WHEREAS, each Lender intends to provide the Consideration (as defined below) to
the Company as set forth opposite the name of each Lender on the Schedule of
Lenders; and

 

WHEREAS, the parties wish to provide for the sale and issuance of the Notes (as
defined below) in exchange for the provision by the Lenders of the Consideration
to the Company.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree as follows:

 

1. Definitions.

 

(a) “Common Stock” shall mean the Company’s Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per
share.

 

(b) “Consideration” shall mean the purchase price paid by each Lender pursuant
to this Agreement. Consideration shall be paid in the form of US dollars;
provided, however, that the Company shall have the sole discretion to accept
payment of the purchase price by each Lender in Cryptocurrency in lieu of US
dollars.

 

(c) “Conversion Price” shall equal $11.50 per share (as may be adjusted for
stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, subdivisions, recapitalizations, or
the like).

 

(d) “Conversion Shares” shall mean shares of Common Stock.

 

(e) “Cryptocurrency” means Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), or another type of
cryptocurrency or other digital asset accepted by the Company in its sole
discretion as payment of the purchase price by each Lender.

 

(f) “Cryptocurrency Payment Agreement” means the separate and additional
agreement to be signed by the Company and each Lender from whom the Company will
accept payment of the purchase price in Cryptocurrency in lieu of US dollars.

 

(g) “First Payment Date” shall mean September 30, 2019.

 

(h) “Interest Payment Date” shall mean the last day of each calendar quarter.

 

(i) “Majority Noteholders” shall mean the holders of a majority in interest of
the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

 

 

 

 

(j) “Maturity Date” shall mean, with respect to each Note issued under this
Agreement, June 3, 2024.

 

(k) “Notes” shall mean the promissory notes issued to the Lenders pursuant to
Section 2 in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

 

(l) “Person” shall mean any individual, corporation, partnership, trust, limited
liability company, association, or other entity.

 

(m) “Principal Market” shall mean the Nasdaq Capital Market; provided, however,
that in the event that the Common Stock is ever listed or traded on the Nasdaq
Global Market, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the New York Stock Exchange, the
NYSE Amex, OTCQB, or OTCQX (or any successor to any of the foregoing), then the
“Principal Market” shall mean such other market or exchange on which the
Company’s Common Stock is then listed or traded.

 

(n) “Securities Act” shall mean the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

(o) “Trading Day” shall mean a day on which the Principal Market is open for
trading.

 

2. Issuance of Notes. In exchange for the Consideration paid by each Lender and
upon the execution and delivery of the Note Purchase Agreement by each Lender,
the Company shall sell and issue to such Lender one or more Notes. Each Note
shall have a principal equal to the Consideration paid by such Lender for such
Note as set forth in the Schedule of Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
the Company elects to accept Consideration in the form of Cryptocurrency, the
principal shall be expressed in US dollars and valued in accordance with the
Cryptocurrency Payment Agreement. Each Note shall be convertible into Conversion
Shares pursuant to this Section 2. The Company shall not issue Notes in excess
of $20,000,000.00 in the aggregate unless otherwise agreed by the Majority
Noteholders.

 

2.1 Automatic Conversion of Notes. In the event that (i) the closing sale price
of the Common Stock on the Principal Market equals or exceeds $17.25 per share
for twenty (20) out of any thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days, and (ii) a
registration statement under the Securities Act is then in effect to cover the
disposition of the Conversion Shares, then the outstanding principal and unpaid
accrued interest on each Note shall be automatically converted into the
requisite number of Conversion Shares. The requisite number of Conversion Shares
to be issued upon such conversion of a Note shall be equal to the quotient
obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding principal and unpaid accrued interest
on such Note as of the date of such conversion by (y) the Conversion Price,
which quotient shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share.

 

2.2 Optional Conversion of Notes. At any time at the election of the holder,
such holder’s Note will convert into that number of Conversion Shares equal to
the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding principal and unpaid
accrued interest on such Note as of the date of such conversion by (y) the
Conversion Price, which quotient shall be rounded down to the nearest whole
share.

 

2

 

 

2.3 Restriction on Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
forth in Section 2.1 or Section 2.2, no conversion shall be effected under this
Section 2 at any time prior to the Final Closing without the Company’s prior
written consent.

 

2.4 Mechanics of Conversion. The Company shall not be required to issue or
deliver any Conversion Shares to a holder of a Note until such holder has
surrendered such Note to the Company or has provided an affidavit of loss
reasonably acceptable to the Company.

 

2.5 Authorized Stock. The Company shall use its best efforts to authorize a
sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for issuance pursuant to conversion
under this Section 2.

 

2.6 Prepayment; Pro Rata Payment. Prepayment of principal, together with unpaid
accrued interest, may be made at any time, without penalty, at the Company’s
option. The Notes shall be pari passu in right of payment with respect to each
other. All payments to the Lenders under the Notes shall be made on a pro rata
basis among the Lenders based upon the aggregate principal and unpaid accrued
interest on the Notes outstanding immediately prior to any such payments.

 

3. Closing Mechanics.

 

3.1 Initial Closing. The initial closing of the sale of the Notes in return for
the Consideration paid by each Lender (the “Initial Closing”) will take place
remotely via the exchange of documents and signatures on the date of this
Agreement, or at such other time and place as the Company shall designate. At
the Initial Closing and each Subsequent Closing, each Lender will deliver the
Consideration to the Company and the Company will deliver to each Lender one or
more executed Notes in return for the respective Consideration provided to the
Company.

 

3.2 Subsequent Closing. In any subsequent closing (each, a “Subsequent
Closing”), the Company may sell additional Notes subject to the terms of this
Agreement to any Lender as it shall select; provided that such sale will not
take place later than June 2, 2020, unless otherwise agreed by the Majority
Noteholders. Any subsequent purchaser of Notes shall become a party to, and
shall be entitled to receive Notes in accordance with, this Agreement. Each
Subsequent Closing shall take place at such locations and at such times as shall
be mutually agreed upon orally or in writing by the Company and such purchasers
of additional Notes. The Schedule of Lenders will be updated to reflect the
additional Notes purchased at each Subsequent Closing and the parties purchasing
such additional Notes. The last Subsequent Closing effected under this Agreement
shall be referred to herein as the “Final Closing.”

 

4. Representations and Warranties of the Company. In connection with the
transactions provided for herein, the Company hereby represents and warrants to
the Lenders that the following representations and warranties are true and
complete as of the date of the applicable Closing.

 

4.1 Organization, Good Standing and Qualification. The Company is a corporation
duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
State of Delaware and has all requisite corporate power and authority to carry
on its business as now conducted. The Company is duly qualified to transact
business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so
qualify would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business or
properties.

4.2 Authorization. Except for the authorization and issuance of any Conversion
Shares issued or issuable pursuant to Section 2, the Company and its directors,
officers and stockholders have taken all corporate action required for the
authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Notes. This
Agreement and the Notes, when executed and delivered by the Company, shall
constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable
against the Company in accordance with their respective terms except as limited
by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent
conveyance or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the
enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, or laws relating to the availability
of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies.

 

4.3 Compliance with Other Instruments. Neither the authorization, execution and
delivery of this Agreement, nor the authorization, issuance, execution and
delivery of the Notes, shall constitute or result in a material default or
violation of any law or regulation applicable to the Company or any material
term or provision of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or any
material agreement or instrument by which it is bound or to which its properties
or assets are subject.

 

4.4 Valid Issuance of Stock. The Conversion Shares to be issued, sold and
delivered upon conversion of the Notes shall be duly authorized and validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable and, subject to the truth and correctness
of the representations and warranties of the Lenders in Section 5, shall be
issued in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws.

 

5. Representations and Warranties of the Lenders. In connection with the
transactions provided for herein, each Lender hereby represents and warrants to
the Company, severally and not jointly, as of the date of the applicable Closing
that:

 

5.1 Authorization. This Agreement constitutes such Lender’s valid and legally
binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as may be
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or similar laws
relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and laws relating
to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other
equitable remedies. Each Lender represents that it has full power and authority
to enter into this Agreement.

 

5.2 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. Each Lender acknowledges that this
Agreement is made with such Lender in reliance upon such Lender’s
representations and warranties to the Company set forth in this Agreement,
including, without limitation, such Lender’s representation to the Company that
the Note or Notes and any Conversion Shares issued to such Lender pursuant to
Section 2 (collectively, the “Securities”) will be acquired for investment for
such Lender’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the
resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that such Lender has no present
intention of selling, granting any participation in or otherwise distributing
the same. By executing this Agreement, each Lender further represents that such
Lender does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with
any Person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such Person or to any
third Person, with respect to the Securities.

 

4

 

 

5.3 Disclosure of Information. Each Lender acknowledges that it has had the
opportunity to review the reports, schedules, forms, statements and other
documents filed by the Company with the SEC (the “SEC Reports”) and that the SEC
Reports constitute all of the information such Lender considers necessary or
appropriate for deciding whether to acquire the Securities. Each Lender further
represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers
from the Company regarding the terms of the offering of the Securities. Each
Lender hereby represents, warrants, and certifies to the Company as follows: (i)
that such Lender became interested in the offering of the Notes through a
substantive, pre-existing relationship with the Company or through direct
contact by the Company or its agents outside of the Company’s public offering
effort and not as a result of the Company’s pending registration statement; and
(ii) that such Lender did not independently contact the Company as a result of
the Company’s pending registration statement. Additionally, each Lender hereby
represents and warrants to the Company that none of such Lender or any of such
Lender’s covered persons has been convicted of any of the felonies or
misdemeanors, and that none of such persons has been subject to any of the
orders, judgments, decrees or other conditions, set forth in Rule 506(d) of
Regulation D promulgated by the SEC. Each Lender covenants to provide immediate
written notice to the Company in the event such Lender or any of such Lender’s
covered persons is convicted of any felony or misdemeanor or becomes subject to
any order, judgment, decree or other condition set forth in Rule 506(d) of
Regulation D promulgated by the SEC, as may be amended from time to time. Each
Lender covenants to provide such information to the Company as the Company may
reasonably request in order to comply with the disclosure obligations set forth
in Rule 506(e) of Regulation D promulgated by the SEC, as may be amended from
time to time.

 

5.4 Investment Experience. Each Lender is an investor in securities of companies
in the growth stage and acknowledges that it is able to fend for itself, can
bear the economic risk of its investment and has such knowledge and experience
in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and
risks of the investment in the Securities. If other than an individual, each
Lender also represents it has not been organized solely for the purpose of
acquiring the Securities.

 

5.5 Accredited Investor. Each Lender is an “accredited investor” within the
meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, as
presently in effect.

 

5.6 Restricted Securities. Each Lender understands that the Securities are
characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws
inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not
involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations
such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only
in certain limited circumstances. Each Lender represents that it is familiar
with Rule 144 under the Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale
limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act as a whole.

 

5

 

 

5.7 Further Limitations on Disposition. Without in any way limiting the
representations and warranties set forth above, each Lender further agrees not
to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Securities unless and until
the transferee of such disposition has agreed in writing for the benefit of the
Company to be bound by this Section 5 and:

 

(a) there is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act
covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance
with such registration statement; or

 

(b) (i) the Lender has notified the Company of the proposed disposition and has
furnished the Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding
the proposed disposition and (ii) if reasonably requested by the Company, the
Lender shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably
satisfactory to the Company, that such disposition will not require registration
of such shares under the Securities Act.

 

5.8 Legends. It is understood that the Securities may bear the following legend:

 

“THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED (THE “ACT”). THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED,
HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT, AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE
COMPANY THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE ACT OR A SALE IN COMPLIANCE
WITH RULE 144 UNDER THE ACT.”

 

5.9 Residence. If the Lender is an individual, such Lender resides in the state
or province identified in the address shown on such Lender’s signature page
hereto. If the Lender is a partnership, corporation, limited liability company,
or other entity, such Lender’s principal place of business is located in the
state or province identified in the address shown on such Lender’s signature
page hereto.

 

5.10 Accuracy of Information. All of the information provided by the Lender
pursuant to this Agreement, the Cryptocurrency Payment Agreement (if
applicable), and all attachments, exhibits and other documents related hereto
and thereto is true, correct, and complete in all respects.

 

6. Miscellaneous.

 

6.1 Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein, the terms of
this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective
successors and assigns of the parties; provided, however, that, except in
connection with an assignment by operation of law by the Company to the acquirer
of the Company, the Company may not assign its obligations under this Agreement
or under any Note without the written consent of the Majority Noteholders.
Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any
party other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and assigns
any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this
Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement. For the avoidance of
doubt, a transaction or series of related transactions in which a person, or a
group of related persons, acquires from stockholders of the Company shares
representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting power of
the Company shall not constitute an assignment by the Company hereunder.

respective controlling Persons, directors, officers, partners, agents,
stockholders or employees of any other Lender shall be liable for any action
