PARTIAL CANCELLATION AGREEMENT
Exhibit 10.1
PARTIAL CANCELLATION AGREEMENT
THIS PARTIAL CANCELLATION AGREEMENT (“Agreement”), dated May 10, 2016, and is to be considered effective as of even date herewith (the “Effective Date”), by and among Dala Petroleum Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Dala DE”), Dala Petroleum Corp., a Nevada corporation (“Dala NV”), ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Partners II, LLC (“▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ II”), a Louisiana limited liability company, and certain members of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Partners II, LLC set forth on the signature pages hereto (each individually a “▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Member” and collectively the “▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ II Members”).
WITNESSETH:
A.
On June 2, 2014, Dala DE, then-known as “▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Products Corp.”, its wholly-owned subsidiary, Dala Acquisition Corp., a Nevada corporation (“Merger Subsidiary”), and Dala NV executed and delivered an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) and all required or necessary documentation to complete a merger (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”), whereby Merger Subsidiary merged with and into Dala NV, and Dala NV was the surviving company under the merger and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dala DE on the closing of the merger (the “Merger”). The respective Boards of Directors of Dala DE and Dala NV, along with Dala DE, as the sole stockholder of Merger Subsidiary, and Dala NV’s sole stockholder ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ II, which owned 100% of the outstanding voting securities of Dala NV, approved the Merger by written consent, and Articles of Merger were filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada on June 3, 2014, effecting the Merger. Prior to the Merger, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ II assigned to Dala NV the rights to engage in oil exploration and development on approximately 300 leases in north central Kansas, with total acreage of approximately 80,000 acres (the “Property”). As consideration for the Merger, Dala DE issued 10,000,000 shares of its common stock (the “Merger Shares”) to Dala NV’s sole member ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ II in exchange for receiving all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Dala NV. The Merger Shares were then immediately distributed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ II on a pro rata basis to its members, including the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ II Members that are party to this Agreement.
B.
In conjunction with the Merger, Dala DE received $2,025,000 from investors in consideration of the issuance of 2,025 shares of its Series A 6% Convertible Preferred Stock at the offering price of $1,000 per Unit (the “Offering”). Each Unit consisted of one share of Series A 6% Convertible Preferred Stock, convertible at any time at the option of the Holder into common stock at the conversion price of $0.70 per common share based on the total dollar amount invested (subject to adjustment as set forth in the Company’s Series A 6% Convertible Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation that was filed on May 30, 2014), and 1,429 warrants to purchase common shares of the Company at an exercise price of $1.35 per share within three years of the “Effective Date,” as such term was defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement for the Offering.
C.
The Merger and the Offering were governed by a series of Transaction Documents including a Stock Purchase Agreement, Registration Rights Agreement, Agreement and Plan of Merger, Private Placement Memorandum, Lock Up Agreements, Certificate of Designation (collectively referred to herein as the “Transaction Documents”).
D.
After the Merger and through May 2015, Dala DE, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Dala NV, operated as an early-stage oil exploration company focused on the Property. For the purposes of this Agreement, the
combined operations of Dala DE and Dala NV are referred to herein as “Dala.” To date, Dala has drilled five ▇▇▇▇▇ that had no commercial quantities of oil, which were subsequently plugged and abandoned. Since May 2015, Dala has not had sufficient funds to continue operations or its exploration program due to the decline in the price of oil and difficult market conditions and due to the Company’s financial condition.
E.
As a result of the lack of funds to continue its operations, the Company has defaulted on some of the provisions in the Transaction Documents, including the payment in cash of the dividends under the Certificate of Designation for the Series A 6% Convertible Preferred Stock and other “Triggering Events” in Section 10 of the Certificate of Designation. The parties have evaluated and discussed the viability of Dala’s continued operations and, as a settlement for the violations of the Transaction Documents and in an effort to maintain the Company’s viability, the parties have agreed to a partial separation of Dala’s assets and a return of a portion of the Property to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ II in exchange for the return of a certain amount of the Merger Shares to the Company’s treasury by the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ II Members.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the covenants herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1.
Return of the Merger Shares
Each of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ II Members shall surrender and transfer the Dala DE common stock certificate(s) representing the number of shares of Dala DE common stock listed below the signature of each ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Member and further set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto, representing a total of at least 70% of the Merger Shares (the “Returned Shares”) along with medallion-guaranteed stock powers (in a form similar to the sample attached as Exhibit F) sufficient to such certificate(s), to the Board of Directors of Dala DE upon the execution of this Agreement, and each ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ II Member hereby agrees that the Returned Shares shall be considered no longer owned by the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ II Members but shall be considered returned and transferred to Dala DE’s treasury for cancellation. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ II shall coordinate with the Members of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ II for the return of the Return Shares and assignment of the oil and gas leases from Dala to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ II.
2.
Return of a Portion of the Property to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ II
Dala shall return a portion of the Property listed on Exhibit B attached hereto to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ II, which portion of the Property shall correspond to the portion of the Merger Shares represented by the Returned Shares. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ II shall bear the cost and responsibility for all assignment and recording of title to the transferred Property and any matter related thereto. Dala shall retain the leases listed on Exhibit C attached hereto.
3.
Closing.
The return of the Merger Shares as set forth in Section 1 herein and the return of a portion of the Property to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ II as set forth in Section 2 herein shall take place at a closing (the “Closing”), to be held at such date, time and place as shall be determined by the parties at the same time as the closing of the other Company transactions described in Section 17 herein.
At the Closing:
(a)
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ II, on behalf of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ II Members, shall deliver to the Dala the Returned Shares along with the medallion guarantees and other documents required for the cancellation of the Returned Shares. The closing shall not occur unless the amount of Returned Shares
consists of at least 70% of the Merger Shares that were initially issued to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ II Members as part of the Merger in June 2014. The amount of Property to be returned to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ II as part of this Agreement shall be proportionally adjusted based on the amount of Returned Shares delivered by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ II and the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ II Members.
For example, if 100% of the originally-issued Merger Shares are returned by the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ II Members as Returned Shares, Dala will receive 10,000,000 common shares for cancellation and will then return to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 75% of the acreage in the Property, or 60,000 acres (with Dala retaining 20,000 acres in the Property). If 85% of the originally-issued Merger Shares are returned by the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ II Members as Returned Shares, Dala will receive 8,500,000 common shares for cancellation and will then return to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 68.75% of the acreage in the Property, or 55,000 acres (with Dala retaining 25,000 acres in the Property). If 70% of the originally-issued Merger Shares are returned by the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ II Members as Returned Shares (the minimum threshold to close this Agreement), Dala will receive 7,000,000 common shares for cancellation and will then return to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 61% of the acreage in the Property, or 49,000 acres (with Dala retaining 31,000 acres in the Property).
4.
Other Dala Assets
All other assets of Dala acquired by Dala before or after the Merger, including both personal property, real property, and that portion of the Property not being transferred to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ II pursuant to the terms herein, shall remain the sole and exclusive property of Dala. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ II and each of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ II Members hereby waive any rights or interests they may have in all such assets.
5.
Dala Liabilities
Dala shall remain responsible for liabilities of Dala which accrued or were incurred on behalf of Dala and are payable on the date of execution of this Agreement and are specifically set forth on Exhibit ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ shall cancel all other liabilities owed to it by Dala as of the date of this Agreement, and shall execute a waiver and release in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E. Dala shall be responsible for any future debts of Dala including those expenses incurred effectuating the terms of this Agreement.
6.
Indemnification
(a)
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article 6, Dala shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Partners II (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all claims, actions, causes of action, demands, assessments, losses, damages, liabilities, judgments, settlements, penalties, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), of any nature whatsoever (collectively, “Damages”) asserted against, resulting to, imposed upon, or incurred by indemnified parties, directly or indirectly related to this transaction or any way related to Dala.
(b)
As part of the consideration for the transaction contemplated hereunder, and, in the absence of which the Indemnified Parties would not have entered into this agreement, Dala hereby expressly retains, assumes, and covenants and agrees to be fully responsible for all claims, actions, causes of action, demands, assessments, losses, damages, liabilities, judgments, settlements, penalties, taxes, costs, expenses, duties and obligations.
(c)
Indemnification proceedings. In the event that any claim or demand for which Dala (the “Indemnifying Party”), would be liable to the Indemnified Party under this Section 6 is asserted against or sought to be
collected from the Indemnified Party by a third party, the Indemnified Party shall with reasonable promptness notify the Indemnifying Party of such claim or demand, but the failure so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this article 6, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that the defense of such claim or demand is materially prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days from receipt of the above notice from the Indemnified Party (in this section 6, the “Notice Period”) to notify the Indemnified Party whether or not the Indemnifying Party desires at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense, to defend the Indemnified Party against such claim or demand; provided, that the Indemnified Party is hereby authorized prior to and during the Notice Period to file any motion, answer or other pleading that it shall deem necessary or appropriate to protect its interests or those of the Indemnifying Party and not prejudicial to the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of any such claim or demand, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel at its own expense and to participate in the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to assume the defense of such claim or demand (or fails to give notice to the Indemnified Party during the Notice Period), the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume the defense of such claim or demand with counsel of its own choice, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. If the claim or demand is asserted against both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and based on the advice of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party it is determined that there is a conflict of interest which renders it inappropriate for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for paying separate counsel for the Indemnified Party; provided however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be responsible for paying for more than one separate firm of attorneys to represent all of the indemnified parties, regardless of the number of indemnified parties. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of such claim or demand, (i) no compromise or settlement thereof may be effected by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnified Party’s written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) unless the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement thereof effected without its written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld).
7.
Governing Law and Forum
This Agreement shall be construed and governed by and under the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its choice of law principles. Any action, suit, or other legal proceeding which is commenced to resolve any matter arising under or relating to any provision of this Agreement shall be commenced only in a court of the State of Delaware (or, if appropriate, a federal court located within the District of Delaware), and each party consents to the jurisdiction of such court and agrees that legal process may be served by United States certified mail, return receipt requested. Venue for any action shall be in Dover County, State of Delaware (or, in the case of a federal court action, in the District of Delaware). Process in any proceeding referred to in the preceding sentence may be served on any party anywhere.

9.
Waivers
No failure of any party to insist on performance by another party, of any its obligation in one instance will waive such party’s right to insist on performance of that or any other obligation in the future. Any waiver by any party of any provision of this Agreement shall be made expressly in writing and not be considered to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision of this Agreement.
10.

11.
Parties

Dala shall fully and promptly cooperate with ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ II with respect to any requests by third parties related to any issue concerning the oil and gas leases being returned to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ II. At and at any time after the Closing, the parties shall duly execute, acknowledge and deliver all such further assignments, conveyances, instruments and documents, and shall take such other action consistent with the terms of this Agreement to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
13.
Severability

This Agreement may be executed by facsimile or by email of PDF or digital image format files of the executed signature page hereto.
