Exhibit 10.1
CONFIDENTIAL
NOTE CONVERSION AGREEMENT
This Note Conversion Agreement (this “Agreement”), is made and entered into as of March 30, 2026, by and among (i) Veea Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and (ii) NLabs Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “NLabs”). The Company and NLabs are each sometimes referred to herein individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties”. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to those terms in the Notes (as hereinafter defined).
WHEREAS, the Company issued to the Noteholder the demand notes, with an issue date and having an initial principal amount as listed on Schedule 1 (collectively, the “Subject Notes”); and
WHEREAS, the Parties have agreed that as soon as practicable but no later than one business day following the execution of this Agreement (such date, the “Conversion Date”), the outstanding amounts due, including principal and accrued but unpaid interest, under the Subject Notes shall automatically convert into shares of Series A preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company(“Preferred Stock”) at a price of $100.00) per share (the “Per Share Price”), and upon which the Notes will thereupon be terminated and shall be of no further force and effect.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements of the Parties hereinafter set forth, the Parties intending to be legally bound hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. Conversion of Subject Notes. The Noteholder hereby agrees, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, that, upon the Conversion Date, all of the obligations owed as of the Conversion Date, including principal and accrued interest thereunder (the “Converted Obligations”), with respect to each Subject Note listed on Schedule 1 shall automatically convert (the “Conversion”) into shares of Preferred Stock at the Per Share Price (such shares, the “Conversion Shares”). The Noteholder shall (i) deliver the Subject Notes to the Company for cancellation and (ii) execute and deliver to the Company any and all additional documents reasonably required by the Company or its counsel as shall be required for the issuance of the shares of Preferred Stock to the Noteholder in connection with the Conversion. Upon the Conversion, the Company shall reflect such issuance of the Preferred Stock in its books and records. The Parties hereby further acknowledge and agree that the Conversion shall fully satisfy all of the Company’s obligations to the Noteholder under the Subject Notes and that, immediately upon the consummation of the Conversion, the Subject Notes and all obligations set forth therein and herein shall be deemed satisfied and repaid in full and the Notes and all such obligations shall be terminated and cancelled in their entirety.
2. Registration Rights.
(a) The Company agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), at the Company’s sole cost and expense, a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) registering the resale of the Conversion Shares by the Noteholder under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) within sixty (60) days after the Conversion Date (the “Filing Deadline”), and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof. The Company agrees that the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement or another registration statement (which may be a “shelf” registration statement) to remain effective with respect to the Noteholder’s Conversion Shares until the earlier of (i) two years from the issuance of the Conversion Shares, (ii) the date on which the Noteholder ceases to hold the Conversion Shares covered by such Registration Statement, or (iii) the first date on which the Noteholder can sell all of its Conversion Shares (or shares received in exchange therefor) under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”) without limitation as to the manner of sale or the amount of such securities that may be sold. The Noteholder agrees to disclose to the Company upon request its beneficial ownership, as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), of the Conversion Shares to assist the Company in making the determination described above. The Company’s obligations to include the Noteholder’s Conversion Shares in the Registration Statement are contingent upon the Noteholder furnishing in writing to the Company such information regarding the Noteholder, the securities of the Company held by the Noteholder and the intended method of disposition of the Conversion Shares as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of the Conversion Shares, and the Noteholder shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations. If the SEC prevents the Company from including any or all of the Conversion Shares proposed to be registered for resale under the Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the Company’s securities by the applicable stockholders or otherwise, (i) such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of the Company securities which is equal to the maximum number of the Company securities as is permitted by the SEC and (ii) the number of the Company securities to be registered for each selling stockholder named in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling stockholders (including pro rata amongst the Noteholders) and as promptly as practicable after being permitted to register additional Conversion Shares under Rule 415 under the Securities Act, the Company shall file a new Registration Statement to register such Conversion Shares not included in the initial Registration Statement and cause such Registration Statement to become effective as promptly as practicable consistent with the terms of this Section 2. The Company will provide a draft of the Registration Statement to the Noteholders for review reasonably in advance of filing the Registration Statement. In no event shall a Noteholder be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement unless requested by the SEC; provided, that if the SEC requests that a Noteholder be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, the Noteholder will have an opportunity to withdraw from the Registration Statement. For purposes of clarification, any failure by the Company to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Deadline shall not otherwise relieve the Company of its obligations to file the Registration Statement or effect the registration of the Conversion Shares set forth in this Section 2. For as long as a Noteholder holds the Conversion Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will (i) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, (ii) file in a timely manner all reports and other documents with the SEC required under the Exchange Act, as long as the Company remains subject to such requirements, and (iii) provide all customary and reasonable cooperation necessary, in each case, to enable the Noteholder to resell the Conversion Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement or Rule 144 (when Rule 144 becomes available to the Noteholder), as applicable.
(b) The Company shall, at its sole expense, advise the Noteholder within five (5) business days: (i) when the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the SEC and when the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective; (ii) after it shall have received notice or obtained knowledge thereof, of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose; (iii) of the receipt by the of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Conversion Shares included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and (iv) subject to the provisions in this Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein do not include any untrue statements of a material fact and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading. Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated in the foregoing clause (iv), except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of the Registration Statement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Conversion Shares included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
2
(c) The Company may delay filing or suspend the use of the Registration Statement if it determines that in order for the Registration Statement to not contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed, or if such filing or use could materially affect a bona fide business or financing transaction of the Company or would require premature disclosure of information that could materially adversely affect the Company (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, that the Company may not delay or suspend the Registration Statement on more than two (2) occasions or for more than sixty (60) consecutive calendar days, or more than one hundred twenty (120) total calendar days, in each case during any twelve (12)-month period. Upon receipt of any written notice from the Company of the happening of any Suspension Event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, the Noteholder agrees that it will (i) immediately discontinue offers and sales of its Conversion Shares under the Registration Statement until the Noteholder receives (A) (x) copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and (y) notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or (B) notice from the Company that it may resume such offers and sales, and (ii) maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by the Company unless otherwise required by applicable law. If so directed by the Company, the Noteholder will deliver to the Company or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering its Conversion Shares in the Noteholder’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Conversion Shares shall not apply to (i) the extent the Noteholder is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (A) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (B) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (ii) copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.
(d) From and after the Conversion, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold the Noteholder, each person or entity, if any, who controls a Noteholder within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each affiliate of a Noteholder within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act, and each broker, placement agent or sales agent to or through which a Noteholder effects or executes the resale of any Conversion Shares (collectively, the “Noteholder Indemnified Parties”), harmless against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including any reasonable out-of-pocket legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) (collectively, “Losses”) incurred by the Noteholder Indemnified Parties directly that are (i) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any other registration statement which covers the Conversion Shares (including, in each case, the prospectus contained therein) or any amendment thereof (including the prospectus contained therein) or (ii) caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made), not misleading, except, in the cases of both (i) and (ii), to the extent insofar as the same are (A) caused by or contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing to the Company by the Noteholder for use therein, (B) in connection with any failure of such person to deliver or cause to be delivered a prospectus in a timely manner, (C) as a result of offers or sales effected by or on behalf of any person by means of a freewriting prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) that was not authorized in writing by the Company, or (D) in connection with any offers or sales effected by or on behalf of the Noteholder in violation of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Company’s indemnification obligations shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).
3
(e) From and after the Conversion, the Noteholder agrees to, severally and not jointly with any other Noteholder or selling stockholders using the Registration Statement, indemnify and hold the Company, and the officers, employees, directors, partners, members, attorneys and agents of the Company, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each affiliate of the Company within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act (collectively, the “Company Indemnified Parties”) harmless against any and all Losses incurred by the Company Indemnified Parties directly that are caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any other registration statement which covers the Conversion Shares (including, in each case, the prospectus contained therein) or any amendment thereof (including the prospectus contained therein) or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made), not misleading, to the extent insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing to Company by the Noteholder expressly for use therein. In no event shall the liability of a Noteholder under this Section 2(e) be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by the Noteholder upon the sale of the Conversion Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation. Notwithstanding the forgoing, a Noteholder’s indemnification obligations shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Noteholder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

(m) Independent Nature of Investment. The obligations of the Noteholder under this Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Noteholder hereunder, and the Noteholder shall not be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Noteholder under this Agreement. The decision of the Noteholder to participate in the Conversion and receive the Conversion Shares pursuant to this Agreement has been made by the Noteholder independently of any other Noteholder hereunder and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company or any of their respective subsidiaries which may have been made or given by any other Noteholder or by any agent or employee of any other Noteholder, and neither the Noteholder nor any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any other Noteholder (or any other person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken by any Noteholder pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute any of the Noteholders together as a partnership, association, joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that any of the Noteholders are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Noteholder acknowledges that no other Noteholder has acted as an agent for the Noteholder in connection with making its investment decision hereunder and no other Noteholder will be acting as an agent of the Noteholder in connection with monitoring its investment in the Conversion Shares or enforcing its rights under this Agreement. The Noteholder shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights under this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Noteholder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
(n) Interpretation. The headings, titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement. In this Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires: (i) any pronoun used shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns, pronouns and verbs shall include the plural and vice versa; (ii) the term “including” (and with correlative meaning “include”) shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation”; and (iii) the words “herein,” “hereto,” and “hereby” and other words of similar import shall be deemed in each case to refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular section or other subdivision of this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the term: (x) “business day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday on which commercial banking institutions in New York, New York are authorized to close for business (excluding as a result of “stay at home”, “shelter-in-place”, “non-essential employee” or any other similar orders or restrictions or the closure of any physical branch locations at the direction of any governmental authority so long as the electronic funds transfer systems, including for wire transfers, of commercially banking institutions in New York, New York are generally open for use by customers on such day); (y) “person” shall refer to any individual, corporation, partnership, trust, limited liability company or other entity or association, including any governmental or regulatory body, whether acting in an individual, fiduciary or any other capacity; and (z) “affiliate” shall mean, with respect to any specified person, any other person or group of persons acting together that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such specified person (where the term “control” (and any correlative terms) means the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise). The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. Consequently, in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.
(o) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile or electronic mail or in .pdf) and by different parties in separate counterparts, with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same document. All counterparts so executed and delivered shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same agreement.
