Exhibit 10.1
Working Capital Loan Agreement
This Working Capital Loan Agreement (“Agreement”) formalizes an informal agreement that was entered on or about the 17th day of March 2022 by and between Industrial Human Capital, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Industrial”), and ShiftPixy Investments, Inc., a Wyoming corporation (the “Sponsor”) (Industrial and Sponsor each a “Party” and collectively the “Parties”). This Agreement is effective as of the 1st day of August 2022.
Whereas Industrial needs capital to fund fees and expenses related to its efforts to complete an intended Initial Business Combination (“IBC”); and
Whereas Sponsor proposes to serve as a source of capital for purposes of Industrial’s efforts to complete its IBC.
In consideration of the mutual promises and commitments of the Parties as set forth herein, Sponsor and Industrial agree to the following terms and conditions:
1. Loan from Sponsor. As of the date of this Agreement, Sponsor has extended funds totaling $280,000.00 and may continue from time-to-time to extend a loan of funds, which may function as a line of credit (“Loan”) to Industrial to enable Industrial to pay its fees and expenses related to its efforts to complete an intended IBC. Funds extended pursuant to the Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at the rate of 5.75% per annum.
2. Industrial’s Repayment of the Loan. If Industrial completes an IBC, Industrial agrees to repay such Loan lump sum to Sponsor thereafter upon demand. The aforesaid demand shall be in writing, tendered in person or via email to an officer of Industrial. In the even an IBC is not completed, such Loan shall be repaid only to the extent that funds held outside the Trust Account are available for the claims of creditors. If the IBC is not consummated, Industrial may use a portion of any working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such Loan, but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay such Loan. At the option of the Sponsor, the sum of funds (not to exceed $1,500,000) provided by Sponsor to Industrial in connection with the Loan may be convertible into private placement warrants of the post IBC entity, at a price of $1.00 per warrant. The warrants would be identical in form and substance to the private placement warrants previously issued to the Sponsor.
