Holder of Convertible Debentures and Warrants

 

Re:       Amendment
and Waiver of Convertible Debentures

 

Dear Holder:

 

Reference is made to
the following securities of Ideanomics, Inc. (the “Company”) beneficially owned by you (the “Holder”):
(i) the Convertible Debenture issued on December 19, 2019 (“First Debenture”), (ii) the Convertible Debenture,
issued on December 31, 2019 (the “Second Debenture”), (iii) the Convertible Debenture issued on February 14,
2020 (“Third Debenture” and together with the aforementioned debentures, the “Debentures”), (iv)
the Common Stock Purchase Warrant issued on December 19, 2019 convertible into 1,666,667 shares of common stock (“First
Warrant”), (v) the Common Stock Purchase Warrant issued on December 19, 2019 convertible into 1,000,000 shares of common
stock (the “Second Warrant” and together with the aforementioned warrants, the “Warrants”).
You agree to waive any right to have the Exercise Price of the Warrants and Conversion Price of the Debentures (which shall include
all currently outstanding Warrants and Debentures you have with respect to the Company) adjusted solely in connection with one
or more drawdowns from time to time on or before June 4, 2020 of up to, in the aggregate, $3,000,000 (the “Financing”)
pursuant to the Company’s stock equity distribution line (“SEDL”); provided, however, that
this waiver shall only apply to draw downs during such period for an effective net per share price to the Company of $0.36 or greater,
subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits and the like. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall
have the meanings set forth in the Debentures and Warrants.

 

The Company hereby
agrees to permanently reduce the Conversion Price of $1 million principal amount of Debentures held by the Holder to the lowest
price per share for shares sold pursuant to the Financing, subject to adjustment thereunder (“Adjusted Price”).
On or before 5 p.m. ET on June 4, 2020, the Company shall provide the Holder with a written representation from the Company’s
Chief Financial Ofrficer as to the Adjusted Price. The Holder, in its sole discretion by written notice to the Company, may indicate
which Debentures are so adjusted.

 

On or before 9:00 am
ET on May 21, 2020, the Company shall issue a press release or file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC disclosing all material
terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder. The Company represents, warrants and covenants that, upon acceptance of this
offer, the shares underlying the Debentures shall be issued free of any legends or restrictions on resale by Holder and all of
the Conversion Shares shall be delivered electronically through the Depository Trust Company within 1 Business Day of the date
the Company receives the Notice of Conversion (or, with respect to Conversion Shares that would otherwise be in excess of the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation, within 2 Business Days of the date the Company is notified by Holder that its ownership is less than the
Beneficial Ownership Limitation). The terms of the Debentures, including but not limited to the obligations to deliver the Conversion
Shares, shall otherwise remain in effect as if the acceptance of this offer were a formal Notice of Conversion (including but not
limited to any liquidated damages and compensation in the event of late delivery of the Conversion Shares).

 

     

     

    

 

The Company acknowledges
and agrees that the obligations of the Holders under this letter agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any
other holder or any other holders of Debentures and Warrants to Purchase Common Stock of the Company (each, an “Other
Holder”) under any other agreement related to the conversion of debentures or exercise of such warrants (“Other
Agreement”), and the Holder shall not be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any Other Holder
or under any such Other Agreement. Additionally, the Company represents and warrantes to the Holder that no other consideration
has been paid to any other party to waive or consent to the Financing or the transactions contemplated hereunder. Nothing contained
in this letter agreement, and no action taken by the Holders pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holder and the
Other Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Holder
and the Other Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated
by this letter agreement and the Company acknowledges that the Holder and the Other Holders are not acting in concert or as a group
with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this letter agreement or any Other Agreement. The Company
and the Holder confirm that the Holder has independently participated in the negotiation of the transactions contemplated hereby
with the advice of its own counsel and advisors. The Holder shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights,
including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this letter agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any Other Holder
to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

 

The Company hereby
represents and warrants as of the date hereof and covenants and agrees that none of the terms offered to any Other Holder with
respect to any Other Agreement (or any amendment, modification or waiver thereof), is or will be more favorable to such Other Holder
than those of the Holder and this letter agreement. If, and whenever on or after the date hereof, the Company enters into an Other
Agreement, then (i) the Company shall provide notice thereof to the Holder promptly following the occurrence thereof and (ii) the
terms and conditions of this letter agreement shall be, without any further action by the Holder or the Company, automatically
amended and modified in an economically and legally equivalent manner such that the Holder shall receive the benefit of the more
favorable terms and/or conditions (as the case may be) set forth in such Other Agreement, provided that upon written notice to
the Company at any time the Holder may elect not to accept the benefit of any such amended or modified term or condition, in which
event the term or condition contained in this letter agreement shall apply to the Holder as it was in effect immediately prior
to such amendment or modification as if such amendment or modification never occurred with respect to the Holder. The provisions
of this paragraph shall apply similarly and equally to each Other Agreement.

	5.	INDEPENDENT
                                         CONTRACTOR STATUS. The Consultant understands that since the Consultant is not an
                                         employee of the Company, the Company will not withhold income taxes or pay any employee
                                         taxes on its behalf, nor will it receive any fringe benefits. The Consultant does hereby
                                         agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company from and against any and all claims,
                                         liabilities, demands, losses or expenses incurred by the Company if (1) the Consultant
                                         fails to pay any applicable income and/or employment taxes (including interest or penalties
                                         of whatever nature), in any amount, relating to the Consultant’s rendering of consulting
                                         services to the Company, including any attorney’s fees or costs to the prevailing Party
                                         to enforce this indemnity or (2) the Consultant takes any action or fails to take any
                                         action in accordance with the Company’s instructions. The Company shall indemnify the
                                         Consultant for any claim, action, or proceeding asserted or instituted by a third-party
                                         and relating to any act or omission of the Consultant that was undertaken in good faith,
                                         within the scope of her duties, and which was done or omitted without neglect and/or
                                         which satisfied her fiduciary duties. The Company’s indemnification obligation does not
                                         pertain to any action or disputes between the Parties. The Consultant shall also be responsible
                                         for obtaining workers’ compensation insurance coverage and agrees to indemnify, defend
                                         and hold the Company harmless of and from any and all claims arising out of any injury,
                                         disability or death of the Consultant.

 

	6.	TERMINATION.
                                         Either Party may terminate this Agreement at any time without cause by giving thirty
                                         (30) days written notice to the other Party. Should the Consultant default in the performance
                                         of this Agreement or materially breach any of its provisions, the Company may, in its
                                         sole discretion, terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to the Consultant.
                                         If this agreement is terminated for any reason, the Consultant shall have no right to
                                         any stock options that have not vested pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement as of
                                         the effective date of termination.
