Exhibit 10.1

 

SHARE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT

 

This SHARE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of October 14, 2016, is by and among Integrated Surgical Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Integrated”), TheMaven Network, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Maven”), and all the shareholders, option holders, warrant holders and holders of convertible securities of Maven identified on Annex A hereto (collectively the “Shareholders”). Each of the parties to this Agreement is individually referred to herein as a “Party” and collectively, as the “Parties.” Capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Annex B hereto.

 

BACKGROUND

 

A.           Maven has 2,967,000 shares of common stock, .0001 par value (the “Maven Stock”) issued and outstanding, which are held by the Shareholders. Each Shareholder is the record and beneficial owner of the number of shares of Maven Stock set forth on the signature page of that Shareholder. Each Shareholder has agreed to transfer all of his/her shares of Maven Stock in exchange for a number of newly issued shares of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Integrated (the “Integrated Stock”) that will constitute approximately 53.47% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Integrated, in the aggregate, based on the formula calculation as set forth in Annex C (“Exchange Formula”), which is based on the number of the outstanding shares of Integrated on a fully diluted basis at the Closing (as hereinafter defined), including the shares underlying a warrant to be issued to MDB Capital Group, LLC (“MDB”) at the Closing. The calculation of the aggregate number of shares of Integrated Stock to be issued is reflected in the Exchange Formula as set forth on Annex C hereto. The aggregate number of shares of Integrated Stock that that will be issued to the Shareholders at the Closing pursuant to the Exchange Formula is referred to herein as the “Shares.”

 

B.           The Board of Directors of each of Integrated and Maven has determined that it is desirable to effect this plan of reorganization and share exchange.

 

C.           By their consent to this Agreement, each of Shareholders has determined that it is desirable for each of them, individually, to participate in this share exchange.

 

AGREEMENT

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties agree as follows:

 

Article I

Exchange of Shares

 

Section 1.1           Share Exchange. At the Closing, the Shareholders shall sell, transfer, convey, assign and deliver to Integrated all of his/her respective Maven Stock, free and clear of all Liens, in exchange for the Shares of Integrated Stock. The number of Integrated Stock that each Shareholders is entitled to receive at the Closing shall equal to (x) the percentage of total shares of Maven Stock (the “Maven Shareholder Percentage Ownership”) the Shareholder owns immediately prior to the Closing (which shall equal to the total number of shares of Maven Stock the Shareholder owns as set forth on the signature page of such Shareholder divided by 2,967,000), multiplied by (y) the aggregate number of shares of Integrated Stock that that will be issued to the Shareholders at the Closing (subject to adjustment pursuant to the Exchange Formula) (the “Shareholders Formula”). For the avoidance of doubt, the aggregated number of shares of Maven Stock that will be transferred to Integrated at the Closing shall be 2,967,000.

 

   

 

  

Section 1.2           Share Exchange Formula. The Shareholders will exchange all their Maven Stock for the number of shares of Integrated Stock, representing approximately 53.47% of the issued and outstanding shares of Integrated, on a fully diluted basis, immediately after the Closing, based on the Exchange Formula, as updated at the Closing. The foregoing aggregate number of shares to be issued is based on the ratio of (x) an implied enterprise value of Maven of $2,500,000, and (y) the assumed net valuation of Integrated as of July 15, 2016 of $2,175,937, which accounts for the cash and other cash based assets of Integrated as of that date and one half of the liability associated with the issued and outstanding shares of Class G Preferred Stock of Integrated as reflected on the financial statements as of June 30, 2016, as filed with the SEC, applied to the fully diluted shares issued and outstanding of Integrated immediately after the Closing grossed up for the warrant to be issued to MDB as compensation under its investment banking agreement with Integrated dated November 28, 2007, as amended on September 12, 2008 and April 15, 2009. The calculation of the Shares to be issued to the Shareholders of Maven is set forth on the Exchange Formula in attached Annex C. The number of Shares of Integrated Stock and the aforementioned percentage will be subject to upward and downward adjustment in the event that (i) the July 15, 2016 dollar amount of the assets of Integrated is changed as of the Closing, (ii) any permissible investment is provided to Maven, and/or (iii) any payments is made or due to be made by Integrated in connection with the Amended Franchise Tax Return (as defined in Section 5.2(p)), provided that any adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (iii) shall be determined net of any payment made to Integrated in the form of cash or equity interests (including options or warrants) in connection with the Amended Franchise Tax Return.

 

Section 1.3           No Fractional Shares; Allocation of Shares among Shareholders. No fractional shares will be issued to the Shareholders in the Transaction. Maven will be responsible for determining the Shareholders Formula, the full share numbers to be issued to the Shareholders at the Closing and its decision as to the allocation of Shares to be deemed final. For the abundance of clarity, and the Shareholders acknowledge, Integrated before and after the Closing, will not be liable in any respect for the calculation of the Shareholders’ Formula, and the determination of the Maven Shareholder Ownership Percentage and the allocation of Shares among the Shareholders.

 

Section 1.4           Closing. The closing (the “Closing”) of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Transactions”) shall take place at the offices of Golenbock, Eiseman, Assor, Bell & Peskoe, LLP in New York City, New York, commencing at 1:00 PM local time on the second business day following the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions to the obligations of the Parties to consummate the Transactions (other than conditions with respect to actions that the respective parties will take at Closing) or such other date and time as the Parties may mutually determine (the “Closing Date”).

Section 7.4           Issuance of Additional Shares.

Section 7.5           Appointment of Shareholder Representative. By approving this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, each Shareholder shall have irrevocably authorized and appointed the Stockholders’ Representative as the Shareholder’s representative and attorney-in-fact to act on behalf of such person with respect to this Agreement, including the claims of the Shareholder under Section 7.4 and to take any and all actions and make any decisions required or permitted to be taken by Stockholders’ Representative pursuant to this Agreement, including the exercise of the power to: (i) give and receive notices and communications; (ii) initiate, prosecute, agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and comply with orders or otherwise handle any other matters described in Section 7.2, Section 7.3 and Section 7.4; (ii) litigate, arbitrate, resolve, settle or compromise any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 7.2, Section 7.3 and Section 7.4; (v) execute and deliver all documents necessary or desirable to carry out the intent of this Section 7.2, Section 7.3 and Section 7.4 of Agreement; (vi) make all elections or decisions required under Section 7.2, Section 7.3 and Section 7.4 of Agreement, (vii) engage, employ or appoint any agents or representatives (including attorneys, accountants and consultants) to assist Stockholders’ Representative in complying with its duties and obligations; and (vii) take all actions necessary or appropriate in the good faith judgment of Stockholders’ Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing.

No Shareholder shall have the right to object to, dissent from, protest or otherwise contest the same.

(a)          The Stockholders’ Representative may resign at any time, and may be removed for any reason or no reason by the vote or written consent of the holders of majority of the Maven common stock. In the event of the death, incapacity, resignation or removal of Stockholders’ Representative, a new Stockholders’ Representative shall be appointed by the vote holders of majority of the Maven Stock. The Stockholders’ Representative shall not be liable to the Shareholders for actions taken pursuant to this Agreement, except to the extent such actions shall have been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have constituted gross negligence or involved fraud, intentional misconduct or bad faith (it being understood that any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel, accountants and other professionals and experts retained by Stockholders’ Representative shall be conclusive evidence of good faith. The Shareholders shall severally and not jointly pro rata in accordance with their shares of Maven common stock, indemnify and hold harmless Stockholders’ Representative from and against, compensate it for, reimburse it for and pay any and all losses, liabilities, claims, actions, damages and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, arising out of and in connection with its activities as Stockholders’ Representative under this Agreement.

Section 7.6           Claim Notice; Right to Defend.

 

(a)          The indemnified party shall promptly upon becoming aware of the facts indicating that a claim for indemnification may be warranted, give to the indemnifying party and the escrow agent, as the case may be, a claim notice relating to the Damages sought (a “Claim Notice”).

 

(b)          Each Claim Notice shall specify the nature of the claim and, if possible, the amount or the estimated amount thereof. No failure or delay in giving a Claim Notice and no failure to include any specific information relating to the claim (such as the amount or estimated amount thereof) shall affect the obligation of the indemnifying party unless such failure materially and adversely prejudices the indemnifying party.

 

(c)          If the Damages relates to the commencement of any action or proceeding by a third party, the indemnified party shall give a Claim Notice to the indemnifying party regarding the third party action or proceeding and the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. After the delivery of notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of the third party action or proceeding, the indemnifying party shall not be liable (except to the extent the proviso to this sentence is applicable, in which event it will be so liable) to the indemnified party under this Article VII for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation, provided that each indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel to represent it and assume its defense (in which case, the indemnifying party shall not represent it) if (i) upon the advice of counsel, the representation of both parties by the same counsel would result in an actual conflict of interest, or (ii) in the event the indemnifying party has not assumed the defense thereof within 10 days of receipt of notice of such claim or commencement of action, and in which case the fees and expenses of one such separate counsel shall be paid by the indemnifying party. If the indemnifying party so assumes the defense thereof, it may not agree to any settlement of any such claim or action as the result of which any remedy or relief, other than monetary damages for which the indemnifying party shall be responsible hereunder, shall be applied to or against the indemnified party, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party. In any third party action hereunder as to which the indemnifying party has assumed the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, the indemnified party shall continue to be entitled to participate in the defense thereof, with counsel of its own choice, but, except as set forth above, the indemnifying party shall not be obligated hereunder to reimburse the indemnified party for the costs thereof.

Section 8.5           Replacement of Securities.
