Exhibit 10.1

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is dated as of [July/August] [__], 2020, by and among NEXGEL, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and each of the purchasers identified on the signature pages hereto and such purchasers’ respective successors and assigns (individually, a “Purchaser” and collectively, the “Purchasers”).

The parties hereto agree as follows:

Article I.
Purchase and Sale of COMMON Stock

Section 1.01           Purchase and Sale of Stock. Upon the following terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Company shall issue and sell to each Purchaser, and each Purchaser shall purchase from the Company, that number of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), as is set forth on each such Purchaser’s signature page hereto (collectively, the “Shares”), at a price per share equal to $0.06 (the “Per Share Purchase Price,” and such amounts in the aggregate, the “Purchase Price”). In the event that this Agreement is amended between Initial Closing Date (as defined below) and a Subsequent Closing Date (as defined below) to reduce the Per Share Purchase Price, then the Purchasers in the Initial Closing Date shall be entitled to receive from the Company additional shares of Common Stock, for no additional consideration, in an amount sufficient that the pro rata portion of the Purchase Price paid by such Purchaser hereunder for the Shares then held, when divided by the total number of Shares then held by such Purchaser plus such additional shares of Common Stock issued will equal the reduced Purchase Price. The Company and the Purchasers are executing and delivering this Agreement in accordance with and in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by Rule 506 of Regulation D (“Regulation D”) as promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

Section 1.02            Closing.

(a)                On the initial closing date (the “Initial Closing Date”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, substantially concurrent with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the parties hereto, the Company agrees to sell at the initial closing (the “Initial Closing”), and the Purchasers, severally and not jointly, agree to purchase at the Initial Closing, an aggregate number of Shares to be determined by the mutual agreement of the Company and the respective such Purchasers. Thereafter, on a subsequent closing date (the “Subsequent Closing Date”, and the Initial Closing Date and any Subsequent Closing Date, each a “Closing Date”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, substantially concurrent with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Purchasers purchasing shares of Common Stock on such Subsequent Closing Date, the Company agrees to sell, and the Purchasers purchasing shares of Common Stock at such subsequent closing, severally and not jointly, agree to purchase, an aggregate of up to $300,000 of Common Stock; provided, however, such amount may be increased to an aggregate of up to $1,500,000 of Common Stock by the Company in its sole discretion and without notice. Each Purchaser purchasing shares of Common Stock on a Closing Date shall deliver to the Company such Purchaser’s Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the Company’s written wire instructions, and the Company shall irrevocably instruct the Company’s transfer agent to deliver to each Purchaser a stock certificate representing such Purchaser’s respective shares of Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Closing Date shall occur on or before July 30 2020; provided, however, that such date may be extended by the Company, without notice, for up to 30-days (the “Termination Date”).

(b)                If a Closing is not held on or before the Termination Date, the Company shall cause all subscription documents and funds to be returned, without interest or deduction, to each prospective Purchaser. The Company shall also cause any subscription documents or funds received following the final Closing to be returned, without interest or deduction, to each applicable prospective Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company in its sole discretion may elect not to sell to any Person any or all of the shares of Common Stock requested to be purchased hereunder, provided that the Company causes all corresponding subscription documents and funds received from such person to be promptly returned.

Article II.
Representations and Warranties

Section 2.01            Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Purchasers, as of the date hereof, as follows:

(a)                Organization, Good Standing and Qualification. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has full corporate power and authority to own and use its properties and its assets and conduct its business as currently conducted. The Company has no subsidiary. The Company is not in violation of any of the provisions of its organizational or charter documents, including, but not limited to the Charter Documents (as defined below). The Company is duly qualified to conduct business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, would not result in a direct and/or indirect (i) material adverse effect on the legality, validity or enforceability of any of the Shares and/or this Agreement, (ii) material adverse effect on the results of operations, assets, business, condition (financial and other) or prospects of the Company, taken as a whole, or (iii) material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to perform in any material respect on a timely basis its obligations under the Transaction Documents (as defined below) (any of (i), (ii) or (iii), a “Material Adverse Effect”).

(b)                Capitalization and Voting Rights. The authorized capital stock of the Company is as set forth in the SEC Reports (as defined below) and, as of the date hereof, the Company has 82,380,208 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and no shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per shares, issued and outstanding. All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. There are no outstanding securities of the Company which contain any preemptive, redemption or similar provisions, nor is any holder of securities of the Company entitled to preemptive or similar rights arising out of any agreement or understanding with the Company by virtue of any of the Transaction Documents, and there are no contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the Company is or may become bound to redeem a security of the Company.

Except grants made pursuant to the NEXGEL, Inc. 2019 Long-Term Incentive Plan or otherwise described in the SEC Reports, there are no outstanding options, warrants, agreements, convertible securities, preemptive rights or other rights to subscribe for or to purchase or acquire, any shares of capital stock of the Company or contracts, commitments, understandings, or arrangements by which the Company is or may become bound to issue any shares of capital stock of the Company, or securities or rights convertible or exchangeable into shares of capital stock of the Company. Except as otherwise required by law, there are no restrictions upon the voting or transfer of any of the shares of capital stock of the Company pursuant to the Company’s Charter Documents or other governing documents or any agreement or other instruments to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound. All of such outstanding capital stock has been issued in compliance in all material respects with applicable federal and state securities laws. The issuance and sale of the Shares and, upon issuance, the Shares, as contemplated hereby will not obligate the Company to issue shares of Common Stock or other securities to any other person (other than the Purchasers) and will not result in the adjustment of the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price of any outstanding security.

Each Purchaser acknowledges that it is able to bear the financial risks associated with an investment in the Shares and that it has been given full access to such records of the Company and to the officers of the Company and received such information as it has deemed necessary or appropriate to conduct its due diligence investigation and has sufficient knowledge and experience in investing in companies similar to the Company in terms of the Company’s stage of development so as to be able to evaluate the risks and merits of its investment in the Company.

Such Purchaser understands that to the extent that Rule 144 is not available, such Purchaser will be unable to sell any Shares without either registration under the Securities Act or the existence of another exemption from such registration requirement.

In connection with any transfer of Shares other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or to the Company, or pursuant to Rule 144 at such time that the Company is not required to be in compliance with Rule 144(c) and any other limitations or requirements set forth in Rule 144, the Company may require the transferor to provide the Company with an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration under the Securities Act.

(b)                The Purchasers agree to the imprinting of the following legend on any certificate evidencing any of the Shares (in addition to any legend required by applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws):

THESE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE (THE “SECURITIES”) HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR THE COMPANY SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED.

Section 3.03            Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall, at or before 5:30 p.m., New York time, on the fourth business day following execution of this Agreement, file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Commission describing the terms of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and including as exhibits to such Current Report on Form 8-K the Transaction Documents, in the form required by the Exchange Act.

For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to treat the Purchasers as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of the Shares or otherwise.

Section 3.06            Rights to Future Stock Issuances.

(a)                Each Purchaser has the right of first refusal to purchase such Purchaser’s Pro Rata Share (as defined below) of all (or any part) of any New Securities (as defined in Section 3.06(b) below) that the Company may from time to time issue after the date of this Agreement, provided, however, such Purchaser shall have no right to purchase any such New Securities if such Purchaser cannot demonstrate to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction that such Purchaser is at the time of the proposed issuance of such New Securities an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act. A Purchaser’s “Pro Rata Share” for purposes of this right of first refusal is the ratio of (a) the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the shares of Series Seed Preferred Stock owned by such Purchaser, to (b) the Fully-Diluted Share Number. For the purposes of the Agreement, the “Fully-Diluted Share Number” shall mean that number of shares of the Company’s capital stock equal to the sum of (i) all shares of the Company’s capital stock (on an as-converted basis) issued and outstanding, assuming exercise or conversion of all options, warrants and other convertible securities and (ii) all shares of the Company’s capital stock reserved and available for future grant under any equity incentive or similar plan.

(b)                “New Securities” shall mean any Common Stock or Preferred Stock of the Company, whether now authorized or not, and rights, options or warrants to purchase such Common Stock or Preferred Stock, and securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become, convertible or exchangeable into such Common Stock or Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the term “New Securities” does not include: (a) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the outstanding shares of all the series of the Preferred Stock; (b) shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of any options, warrants or rights to purchase any securities of the Company outstanding as of the Agreement Date and any securities issuable upon the conversion thereof; (c) shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock issued in connection with any stock split or stock dividend or recapitalization; (d) shares of Common Stock (or options, warrants or rights therefor) granted or issued hereafter to employees, officers, directors, contractors, consultants or advisers to, the Company or any subsidiary of the Company pursuant to incentive agreements, stock purchase or stock option plans, stock bonuses or awards, warrants, contracts or other arrangements that are approved by the Board; (e) shares of the Company’s Series Seed Preferred Stock issued pursuant to this Agreement; (f) any other shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock (and/or options or warrants therefor) issued or issuable primarily for other than equity financing purposes and approved by the Board of Directors; and (g) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable by the Company to the public pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act.

(c)                In the event that the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of New Securities, it shall give to each Purchaser a written notice of its intention to issue New Securities (the “Notice”), describing the type of New Securities and the price and the general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue such New Securities given in accordance with Section 4.04. Each Purchaser shall have five (5) days from the date such Notice is effective, as determined pursuant to Section 4.04 based upon the manner or method of notice, to agree in writing to purchase such Purchaser’s Pro Rata Share of such New Securities for the price and upon the general terms specified in the Notice by giving written notice to the Company and stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased (not to exceed such Purchaser’s Pro Rata Share).

(d)                In the event that the Purchasers fail to exercise in full the right of first refusal within such five (5) day period, then the Company shall have one hundred twenty (120) days thereafter to sell the New Securities with respect to which the Purchasers’ rights of first refusal hereunder were not exercised, at a price and upon general terms not materially more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the Company’s Notice to the Purchasers. In the event that the Company has not issued and sold the New Securities within such one hundred twenty (120) day period, then the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities without again first offering such New Securities to the Purchasers pursuant to this Section 3.06.

(e)                The covenants set forth in this Section 3.06 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect immediately before the Company’s securities begin trading on a National Securities Exchange. For the purposes of this Agreement, “National Securities Exchange” shall mean an exchange registered with the Commission under Section 6(a) of the Exchange Act of 1934 or the Nasdaq Stock Market or any successor thereto.

Section 3.07            Form D; Blue Sky Filings. The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Shares as required under Regulation D. The Company shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to qualify the Shares for, sale to the Purchasers at the Closing under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States, and shall provide evidence of such actions upon request of any Purchaser.

Any party hereto may from time to time change its address for notices by giving at least ten (10) days written notice of such changed address to the other party hereto.

Section 4.05                        Waivers. No waiver by either party of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any other provisions, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right accruing to it thereafter.

Section 4.06                        Headings. The article, section and subsection headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

Section 4.07                       Successors and Assigns; Restrictions on Transfer. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Purchasers.

Section 4.08                        No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other person.

Section 4.09                        Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any of the conflicts of law principles which would result in the application of the substantive law of another jurisdiction. This Agreement shall not be interpreted or construed with any presumption against the party causing this Agreement to be drafted. Each party hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all rights to a trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 4.10                        Survival. The representations and warranties of the Company and the Purchasers shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and the Closing hereunder for the applicable statute of limitations period.

Section 4.11                        Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other parties hereto, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) the same with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature were the original thereof.

Section 4.12                        Severability. The provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are severable and, in the event that any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that any one or more of the provisions or part of the provisions contained in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or part of a provision of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents and such provision shall be reformed and construed as if such invalid or illegal or unenforceable provision, or part of such provision, had never been contained herein, so that such provisions would be valid, legal and enforceable to the maximum extent possible.

Section 4.13                        Further Assurances. From and after the date of this Agreement, upon the request of any Purchaser or the Company, each of the Company and the Purchasers shall execute and deliver such instrument, documents and other writings as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to confirm and carry out and to effectuate fully the intent and purposes of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

Section 4.14                        Like Treatment of Purchasers. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Purchaser to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the Purchasers then holding Shares. Further, the Company shall not make any payments or issue any securities to the Purchasers in amounts which are disproportionate to the respective numbers of outstanding Shares held by any Purchasers at any applicable time. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to treat the Purchasers as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of the Shares or otherwise.
