Certificate of Designation of Series H Preferred Stock
On May 16, 2024, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company filed the Certificate of Designation, designating 15,000 shares of Series H Preferred Stock. The Series H Preferred Stock carries an 8% per year cumulative dividend, which is compounded annually and is payable in cash or additional shares of Series H Preferred Stock at the election of the Company. The Series H Preferred Stock’s cumulative dividend is senior to, and must be paid prior to, any dividends upon other classes and series of the Company’s capital stock.
In the event of any liquidation, dissolution, winding up or change in control of the Company, the holders of Series H Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any other class or series of the Company’s capital stock, an amount equal to the greater of (1) $1,000 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends or (2) an amount per share equal to that payable had the Series H Preferred Stock been converted to Common Stock immediately prior to such payment.
Each share of Series H Preferred Stock is initially convertible into approximately 259 shares of Common Stock, subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends and stock splits, pro rata distributions, or the occurrence of a merger, reorganization, or similar transaction. The Series H Preferred Stock is additionally subject to mandatory conversion or redemption upon the occurrence of specified events. Shares of Series H Preferred Stock cannot be converted into Common Stock if the applicable holder would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the Company’s outstanding voting power, unless approved by the Company's stockholders in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(b).
The Series H Preferred Stock is entitled to vote on any matter presented to the Company’s stockholders, on an as-converted basis, provided that in no event shall the shares of Series H Preferred Stock be entitled to vote, on an as-converted basis and in the aggregate, more than 19.99% of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, unless approved by the Company's stockholders in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(b). In addition, the Series H Preferred Stock is entitled to a separate class vote on (1) the liquidation, dissolution, winding up or other changes in control of the Company, (2) amendments of the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws in a manner adverse to the Series H Preferred Stock, (3) amendments to the Series H Certificate of Designation, (4) the issuance of additional Series H Preferred Stock to any person other than the original holders, (5) the issuance of any shares in a new class or series of capital stock unless such new class or series of capital ranks junior to the Series H Preferred Stock, (6) the reclassification, alteration or amendment of any existing security with respect to dividend rights and rights in a liquidation of the Company that would render such security senior to the Series H Preferred Stock and (7) the repurchase or redemption of, or the payment of any dividend or distribution to, other classes or series of the Company’s capital stock, subject to certain exceptions.
The foregoing description of the Series H Preferred Stock does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series H Convertible Preferred Stock, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 3.1.

3. Dividends.
(a) The holders of the Series H Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive:
(i) on each share of Series H Preferred Stock, dividends at a rate of 8% per annum of the Series H Original Issue Price, compounded annually from and after the Issuance Date of any such share of Series H Preferred Stock, which shall be payable as set forth, and out of any funds legally available therefor (the “Preferred Dividends”); and
(ii) when, as and if declared by the Board, out of any funds legally available therefor, dividends on shares of Series H Preferred Stock equal (on an as-if-converted-to-Common-Stock basis) to and in the same form as dividends (other than dividends in the form of Common Stock, which shall be made in accordance with Subsection 6(g)) actually paid on shares of Common Stock when, as and if such dividends (other than dividends in the form of Common Stock, which shall be made in accordance with Subsection 6(g)) are paid on shares of Common Stock (the “Participating Dividends” and, together with the Preferred Dividends, the “Dividends”).
The Corporation will not declare or pay any dividends or other distributions on any Junior Stock that would require a Participating Dividend unless it concurrently therewith declares and sets aside for payment or distribution, as applicable, such Participating Dividend for all shares of Series H Preferred Stock then outstanding.
(b) Preferred Dividends shall be cumulative and shall accrue and accumulate annually commencing on the Issuance Date and be payable annually in arrears on December 31 of each year commencing on December 31, 2023 (each, a “Preferred Dividend Payment Date,”) and the period from the Issuance Date to the first Preferred Dividend Payment Date and from the day after a Preferred Dividend Payment Date to the subsequent Preferred Dividend Payment Date being a “Preferred Dividend Period”). Participating Dividends shall be payable as and when paid to the holders of Junior Stock (each such date being a “Participating Dividend Payment Date,” and, together with each Preferred Dividend Payment Date, a “Dividend Payment Date”). Preferred Dividends that are payable on Series H Preferred Stock in respect of any Preferred Dividend Period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The amount of Preferred Dividends payable on Series H Preferred Stock on any date prior to the end of a Preferred Dividend Period, and for the initial Preferred Dividend Period, shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, and actual days elapsed over a 30-day month, and for the period that the Series H Preferred Stock is outstanding. Preferred Dividends shall accumulate whether or not in any Preferred Dividend Period there have been funds of the Corporation legally available for the payment of such Preferred Dividends. Participating Dividends are payable on a cumulative basis once declared, whether or not there shall be funds legally available for the payment thereon.
(c) In lieu of the payment in cash of the Preferred Dividend otherwise payable on any Dividend Payment Date, Preferred Dividends may be paid by issuance and delivery of a number of additional fully paid and nonassessable shares of Series H Preferred Stock (“PIK Shares”) (including, at the Corporation’s option, the payment of cash in lieu of the issuance of fractional PIK Shares) for each holder of the Series H Preferred Stock equal to (i) the aggregate dollar amount of the Preferred Dividend payable to such holder with respect to the Series H Preferred Stock held by such holder as of the Preferred Dividend Payment Date, divided by (ii) the Series H Original Issue Price. The PIK Shares shall be subject to the terms of this Certificate of Designation, including, but not limited to, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation set forth in Section 6(e) and the Voting Cap set forth in Section 5(a). No later than the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive any Preferred Dividend, the Corporation will send written notice to each holder of Series H Preferred Stock stating the amount of PIK Shares, if any, that will be issued and delivered.
4. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up; Certain Mergers, Consolidations and Asset Sales.
(a) Preferential Payments to Holders of Series H Preferred Stock. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the holders of shares of Series H Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, and in the event of a Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined below), the holders of shares of Series H Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the consideration payable to stockholders in such Deemed Liquidation Event or out of the Available Proceeds (as defined below), as applicable, before any payment shall be made to the holders of Junior Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to the greater of (i) the Series H Original Issue Price, plus any Preferred Dividends accrued but unpaid thereon, whether or not declared, together with any other dividends declared but unpaid thereon, or (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of Series H Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock pursuant to Section 6 (without regard to any limitations in Section 6(d) or Section 6(e) on the conversion of the Series H Preferred Stock) immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution, winding up or Deemed Liquidation Event (the amount payable pursuant to this sentence is hereinafter referred to as the “Series H Liquidation Amount”). If upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or Deemed Liquidation Event, the assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of shares of Series H Preferred Stock the full amount to which they shall be entitled under this Subsection 4(a), the holders of shares of Series H Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of the assets legally available for distribution in proportion to the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full.
(b) Payments to Holders of Junior Stock. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, after the payment in full of all Series H Liquidation Amounts required to be paid to the holders of shares of Series H Preferred Stock, any remaining assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution to its stockholders or, in the case of a Deemed Liquidation Event, the consideration not payable to the holders of shares of Series H Preferred Stock pursuant to Subsection 4(a) or the remaining Available Proceeds, as the case may be, shall be distributed among the holders of shares of Junior Stock, pro rata based on the number of shares held by each such holder or otherwise in accordance with the terms of such Junior Stock.
(c) Deemed Liquidation Events.
(i) Definition. Each of the following events shall be considered a “Deemed Liquidation Event” unless the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Series H Preferred Stock elect otherwise by written notice sent to the Corporation at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of any such event:
(1) a merger or consolidation in which
a. the Corporation is a constituent party or
b. a subsidiary of the Corporation is a constituent party and the Corporation issues shares of its capital stock pursuant to such merger or consolidation,
except any such merger or consolidation involving the Corporation or a subsidiary in which the shares of capital stock of the Corporation outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continue to represent, or are converted into or exchanged for shares of capital stock that represent, immediately following such merger or consolidation, at least a majority, by voting power, of the capital stock of (1) the surviving or resulting corporation; or (2) if the surviving or resulting corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of another corporation immediately following such merger or consolidation, the parent corporation of such surviving or resulting corporation;
(2) (I) the sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, by the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation of all or substantially all the assets of the Corporation and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, or (II) the sale or disposition (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, and whether in a single transaction or a series of related transactions) of one or more subsidiaries of the Corporation if substantially all of the assets of the Corporation and its subsidiaries taken as a whole are held by such subsidiary or subsidiaries, except where such sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition is to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation; or
(3) (I) any Change of Control (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement) or (II) any Asset Sale (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement) or series of Asset Sales subject to Section 3.03(b)(i)(x) of the Term Loan Agreement.
(ii) Effecting a Deemed Liquidation Event.
(1) The Corporation shall not have the power to effect a Deemed Liquidation Event referred to in Subsection 4(c)(i)(1) unless the agreement or plan of merger or consolidation for such transaction (the “Merger Agreement”) provides that the consideration payable to the stockholders of the Corporation in such Deemed Liquidation Event shall be paid to the holders of capital stock of the Corporation in accordance with Subsections 4(a) and 4(b).
(2) In the event of a Deemed Liquidation Event referred to in Subsections 4(c)(i)(2) or 4(c)(i)(3), if the Corporation does not effect a dissolution of the Corporation under the DGCL within ninety (90) days after such Deemed Liquidation Event, then (i) the Corporation shall send a written notice to each holder of Series H Preferred Stock no later than the ninetieth (90th) day after the Deemed Liquidation Event advising such holders of their right (and the requirements to be met to secure such right) pursuant to the terms of the following clause to require the redemption of such shares of Series H Preferred Stock, and (ii) if the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series H Preferred Stock so request in a written instrument delivered to the Corporation not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after such Deemed Liquidation Event, the Corporation shall use the consideration received by the Corporation for such Deemed Liquidation Event (net of any retained liabilities associated with the assets sold or technology licensed, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation), together with any other assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution to its stockholders, all to the extent permitted by Delaware law governing distributions to stockholders (the “Available Proceeds”), on the one hundred fiftieth (150th) day after such Deemed Liquidation Event, to redeem all outstanding shares of Series H Preferred Stock at a price per share equal to the Series H Liquidation Amount; provided that in the event of a Deemed Liquidation Event in respect of which the Corporation would be required to redeem any Junior Stock (other than a redemption solely for shares of Common Stock), the Corporation shall ensure that holders of Series H Preferred Stock shall have an opportunity to exercise their rights under this Subsection 4(c)(ii)(2) and have their shares of Series H Preferred Stock redeemed prior to any redemption of such Junior Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a redemption pursuant to the preceding sentence, if the Available Proceeds are not sufficient to redeem all outstanding shares of Series H Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall redeem a pro rata portion of each holder’s shares of Series H Preferred Stock to the fullest extent of such Available Proceeds, based on the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares to be redeemed if the Available Proceeds were sufficient to redeem all such shares, and shall redeem the remaining shares as soon as it may lawfully do so under Delaware law governing distributions to stockholders. The provisions of Section 7 shall apply, with such necessary changes in the details thereof as are necessitated by the context, to the redemption of the Series H Preferred Stock pursuant to this Subsection 4(c)(ii)(2). Prior to the distribution or redemption provided for in this Subsection 4(c)(ii)(2), and to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, the Corporation shall not redeem or make any distribution on any Junior Stock in connection with a Deemed Liquidation Event, or otherwise expend or dissipate the consideration received for such Deemed Liquidation Event, except to discharge expenses incurred in connection with such Deemed Liquidation Event.
(iii) Amount Deemed Paid or Distributed. The amount deemed paid or distributed to the holders of capital stock of the Corporation upon any such merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, exclusive license, other disposition or redemption shall be the cash or the value of the property, rights or securities to be paid or distributed to such holders pursuant to such Deemed Liquidation Event.
(iv) Allocation of Escrow and Contingent Consideration. In the event of a Deemed Liquidation Event, if any portion of the consideration payable to the stockholders of the Corporation is payable only upon satisfaction of contingencies (the “Additional Consideration”), the Merger Agreement shall provide that (a) the portion of such consideration that is not Additional Consideration (such portion, the “Initial Consideration”) shall be allocated among the holders of capital stock of the Corporation in accordance with Subsections 4(a) and 4(b) as if the Initial Consideration were the only consideration payable in connection with such Deemed Liquidation Event; and (b) any Additional Consideration that becomes payable to the stockholders of the Corporation upon satisfaction of such contingencies shall be allocated among the holders of capital stock of the Corporation in accordance with Subsections 4(a) and 4(b) after taking into account the previous payment of the Initial Consideration as part of the same transaction. For the purposes of this Subsection 4(c)(iv), consideration placed into escrow or retained as a holdback to be available for satisfaction of indemnification or similar obligations in connection with such Deemed Liquidation Event shall be deemed to be Initial Consideration.
5. Voting.
(a) General. Except as otherwise provided herein or as otherwise required by law, the Series H Preferred Stock shall vote together with shares of Common Stock on an as-converted to Common Stock basis from time to time, and not as a separate class, at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, or with respect to any action taken by written consent in lieu of a meeting, in either case upon the following basis: each share of the Series H Preferred Stock shall be entitled to such number of votes equal to the whole number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of Series H Preferred Stock would then be convertible (pursuant to Section 6 hereof). On any matter which the Series H Preferred Stock is entitled to vote, the holders of Series H Preferred Stock may take action with respect to such matter by written consent in lieu of a meeting.
Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 5(a), in no event shall the shares of Series H Preferred Stock be entitled to vote, on an as-converted to Common Stock basis and in the aggregate, more than 19.99% of the voting power of the Corporation’s outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the “Voting Cap”), unless the Nasdaq Stockholder Approval is obtained pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(b) or any successor rule then in effect. The determination of the applicability of the limitation contained in this paragraph shall be made solely by the Corporation in accordance with the rules and regulations of The Nasdaq Stock Market. In the event that the number of votes entitled to be cast by all shares of Series H Preferred Stock would otherwise exceed the Voting Cap, the number of votes that each share of Series H Preferred Stock is entitled to cast shall be reduced on a pro rata basis such that the aggregate number of votes entitled to be cast by all shares of Series H Preferred Stock is equal to the Voting Cap.
(b) Series H Preferred Stock Protective Provisions. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary and to the fullest extent permitted by law, and except as set forth in the Series E Preferred Stock or the Series F Preferred Stock certificates of designation, at any time when shares of Series H Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation shall not, either directly or indirectly by amendment, merger, consolidation or otherwise, do any of the following without (in addition to any other vote required by law or this Certificate of Designation or the Certificate of Incorporation) the written consent or affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Series H Preferred Stock given in writing or by vote at a meeting, consenting or voting (as the case may be) separately as a class, and any such act or transaction entered into without such consent or vote shall be null and void ab initio, and of no force or effect:
(i) liquidate, dissolve or wind-up the business and affairs of the Corporation, effect any merger or consolidation, Deemed Liquidation Event, or consent to any of the foregoing;
(ii) amend, alter or repeal any provision of this Certificate of Designation in any manner (and for the avoidance of doubt, any amendment, alteration or repeal of any provision of this Certificate of Designation shall not require the approval or consent of any other class or series of stock of the Corporation unless otherwise required by the DGCL);
(iii) amend, alter or repeal any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation (other than this Certificate of Designation) or Bylaws of the Corporation in a manner that adversely affects the powers, preferences or rights of the Series H Preferred Stock;
(iv) create, or authorize the creation of, or issue or obligate itself to issue shares of, any additional class or series of capital stock unless the same ranks junior to the Series H Preferred Stock with respect to the distribution of assets on the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or upon a Deemed Liquidation Event, the payment of dividends and rights of redemption, or increase the authorized number of shares of Series H Preferred Stock or increase the authorized number of shares of any additional class or series of capital stock of the Corporation unless the same ranks junior to the Series H Preferred Stock with respect to the distribution of assets on the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or upon a Deemed Liquidation Event, the payment of dividends and rights of redemption;
(v) (1) reclassify, alter or amend any existing security of the Corporation that is pari passu with the Series H Preferred Stock in respect of the distribution of assets on the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or upon a Deemed Liquidation Event, the payment of dividends or rights of redemption, if such reclassification, alteration or amendment would render such other security senior to the Series H Preferred Stock in respect of any such right, preference, or privilege or (2) reclassify, alter or amend any existing security of the Corporation that is junior to the Series H Preferred Stock in respect of the distribution of assets on the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or upon a Deemed Liquidation Event, the payment of dividends or rights of redemption, if such reclassification, alteration or amendment would render such other security senior to or pari passu with the Series H Preferred Stock in respect of any such right, preference or privilege;
(vi) purchase or redeem (or permit any subsidiary to purchase or redeem) or pay or declare any dividend or make any distribution on, any shares of capital stock (or any rights or options to acquire any capital stock) of the Corporation other than (1) redemptions of or dividends or distributions on the Series H Preferred Stock as expressly authorized herein, (2) dividends or other distributions payable on the Common Stock solely in the form of additional shares of Common Stock (and in connection therewith any participating dividends on any other Junior Stock in the form of additional shares of Common Stock) and dividends or other distributions payable on the Corporation’s Series E Preferred Stock or Series F Preferred Stock, (3) the repurchases of Common Stock pursuant to, and in accordance with restricted stock agreements, stock options plans or other benefit plans for management, directors employees or consultants of the Corporation and its subsidiaries in an aggregate amount not to exceed $100,000 in any fiscal year of the Corporation, (4) the payment of cash in lieu of the issuance of fractional shares, (5) the retention of Common Stock in payment of withholding taxes in connection with equity-based compensation plans, and (6) conversions or exchanges of Junior Stock into or for Common Stock; or
(vii) issue any shares of Series H Preferred Stock to any individual, entity or other person other than to the original holders and their affiliates, and any transferees thereof.
6. Optional Conversion. The holders of the Series H Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows (the “Conversion Rights”):
(a) Right to Convert.
(i) Conversion Ratio. Each share of Series H Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time and from time to time, and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Series H Original Issue Price by the Series H Conversion Price (as defined below) in effect at the time of conversion. The “Series H Conversion Price” shall initially be equal to $3.86. Such initial Series H Conversion Price, and the rate at which shares of Series H Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of Common Stock, shall be subject to adjustment as provided below.
(ii) Termination of Conversion Rights. In the event of a notice of redemption of any shares of Series H Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 7, the Conversion Rights of the shares designated for redemption shall terminate at the close of business on the last full day preceding the date fixed for redemption, unless the redemption price is not fully paid on such redemption date, in which case the Conversion Rights for such shares shall continue until such price is paid in full. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or a Deemed Liquidation Event, the Conversion Rights shall terminate at the close of business on the last full day preceding the date fixed for the payment of any such amounts distributable on such event to the holders of Series H Preferred Stock.
(b) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of the Series H Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. Whether or not fractional shares would be issuable upon such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of Series H Preferred Stock the holder is at the time converting into Common Stock and the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion.
(c) Mechanics of Conversion.
(i) Notice of Conversion. In order for a holder of Series H Preferred Stock to voluntarily convert shares of Series H Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock, such holder shall (a) provide written notice in the form attached hereto as Annex A to the Corporation’s transfer agent at the office of the transfer agent for the Series H Preferred Stock (or at the principal office of the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent) that such holder elects to convert all or any number of such holder’s shares of Series H Preferred Stock and, if applicable, any event on which such conversion is or such future time at which such conversion shall be effective (a “Conversion Notice”) and (b), if such holder’s shares are certificated, surrender the certificate or certificates for such shares of Series H Preferred Stock (or, if such registered holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate), at the office of the transfer agent for the Series H Preferred Stock (or at the principal office of the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent). Such Conversion Notice shall state such holder’s name or the names of the nominees in which such holder wishes the shares of Common Stock to be issued. If required by the Corporation, any certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. The close of business on the date of receipt by the transfer agent (or by the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent) of such notice (or as applicable, the future event or time upon which the conversion was contingent or applicable) and, if applicable, certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) shall be the time of conversion (as applicable, the “Conversion Time”), and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the specified shares shall be deemed to be outstanding of record as of such Conversion Time. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable after the Conversion Time (i) issue and deliver to such holder of Series H Preferred Stock, or to his, her or its nominees, a certificate or certificates (or a notice of issuance of uncertificated shares, if applicable) for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (or a notice of such issuance if uncertificated shares are issued) in accordance with the provisions hereof and a certificate for the number (if any) of the shares of Series H Preferred Stock represented by the surrendered certificate that were not converted into Common Stock, (ii) pay in cash such amount as provided in Subsection 6(b) in lieu of any fraction of a share of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon such conversion and (iii) pay all declared but unpaid dividends on the shares of Series H Preferred Stock converted.
(ii) Reservation of Shares. The Corporation shall at all times when the Series H Preferred Stock shall be outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued capital stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series H Preferred Stock, such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding Series H Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Series H Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to this Certificate of Designation and the Certificate of Incorporation. Before taking any action that would cause an adjustment reducing the Series H Conversion Price below the then par value of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series H Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Corporation may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock at such adjusted Series H Conversion Price.
(iii) Effect of Conversion. All shares of Series H Preferred Stock that shall have been surrendered for conversion as herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares shall immediately cease and terminate at the Conversion Time, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor, to receive payment in lieu of any fraction of a share otherwise issuable upon such conversion as provided in Subsection 6(b) and to receive payment of any dividends declared but unpaid thereon. Any shares of Series H Preferred Stock so converted shall resume the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock and shall no longer be designated as Series H Preferred Stock, and the Corporation may thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for stockholder action) as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Series H Preferred Stock accordingly.
(iv) No Further Adjustment. Upon any such conversion, no adjustment to the Series H Conversion Price shall be made for any declared but unpaid dividends on the Series H Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion or on the Common Stock delivered upon conversion. The holder shall be credited for any accrued but unpaid dividends at the time of conversion to be paid in the form of, and at the time prescribed by, Section 3(a).
(v) Taxes. The Corporation shall pay any and all issue and other similar taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Series H Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 6. The Corporation shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that in which the shares of Series H Preferred Stock so converted were registered, and no such issuance or delivery shall be made unless and until the person or entity requesting such issuance has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid.
(d) Nasdaq Issuance Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Corporation shall not be obligated to issue, and a holder of the Series H Preferred Stock shall not have the right to receive, upon conversion of the Series H Preferred Stock, any shares of Common Stock if the issuance of such shares of Common Stock would exceed that number of shares of Common Stock that the Corporation may issue in the aggregate pursuant to the transactions contemplated under the Purchase Agreement without breaching the Corporation’s obligations under the rules or regulations of The Nasdaq Stock Markets (the “Exchange Cap”), unless the Nasdaq Stockholder Approval is obtained pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(b) or any successor rule then in effect.
(e) Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Corporation shall not effect any conversion of the Series H Preferred Stock, and a holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Series H Preferred Stock, to the extent that, after giving effect to an attempted conversion set forth on an applicable conversion notice, such attempted conversion would result in the holder (together with such holder’s affiliates, and any other person whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) or Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), including any “group” of which the holder is a member (the foregoing, “Attribution Parties”)) beneficially owning a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such holder and its Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series H Preferred Stock subject to the conversion notice with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted shares of Series H Preferred Stock beneficially owned by such holder or any of its Attribution Parties, and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Corporation (including any warrants) beneficially owned by such holder or any of its Attribution Parties that, in the case of both (i) and (ii), are subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise similar to the limitation contained herein. For purposes of this Subsection 6(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the applicable regulations of the Commission. In addition, for purposes hereof, “group” has the meaning set forth in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the applicable regulations of the Commission. For purposes of this Subsection 6(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (A) the Corporation’s most recent periodic or annual filing with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Corporation that is filed with the Commission, or (C) a more recent notice by the Corporation or the Corporation’s transfer agent to the holder setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. Upon the written request of a holder (which may be by email) submitted to the Secretary of the Corporation, the Corporation shall, within three (3) business days thereof, confirm in writing to such holder (which may be via email) the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to any actual conversion or exercise of securities of the Corporation, including shares of Series H Preferred Stock, by such holder or its Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was last publicly reported or confirmed to the holder. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall initially be 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to such conversion notice (to the extent permitted pursuant to this Section 6(e)). The Corporation shall be entitled to rely on representations made to it by the holder in any conversion notice regarding its Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, by written notice to the Corporation, any holder may reset the Beneficial Ownership Limitation percentage applicable to such Holder to a higher or lower percentage; provided, however, that in no case will the Beneficial Ownership Limitation exceed 19.99% unless the required Nasdaq Stockholder Approval has been obtained. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company. Any decrease in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will be effective upon delivery to the Company.
(f) Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date effect a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, the Series H Conversion Price in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be increased in proportion to such increase in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. If the Corporation shall at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Series H Conversion Price in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Any adjustment under this subsection shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(g) Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Junior Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable on Junior Stock in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Series H Conversion Price in effect immediately before such event shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Series H Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction:
(1) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock, plus any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Junior Stock, in each case issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date, and
(2) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock, plus any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Junior Stock, in each case issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution.
Notwithstanding the foregoing (a) if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Series H Conversion Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Series H Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this subsection as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions; and (b) no such adjustment shall be made if the holders of Series H Preferred Stock simultaneously receive a dividend or other distribution of shares of Common Stock in a number equal to the number of shares of Common Stock as they would have received if all outstanding shares of Series H Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock (without regard to any limitations in Section 6(d) or Section 6(e) on the conversion of the Series H Preferred Stock) on the date of such event.
(h) Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Corporation (other than a distribution of shares of Common Stock in respect of outstanding shares of Common Stock) or in other property and the provisions of Section 3 do not apply to such dividend or distribution, then and in each such event the holders of Series H Preferred Stock shall receive, simultaneously with the distribution to the holders of Common Stock, a dividend or other distribution of such securities or other property in an amount equal to the amount of such securities or other property as they would have received if all outstanding shares of Series H Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock (without regard to any limitations in Section 6(d) or Section 6(e) on the conversion of the Series H Preferred Stock) on the date of such event.
(i) Adjustment for Merger or Reorganization, etc. Subject to the provisions of Subsection 4(c), if there shall occur any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger involving the Corporation in which the Common Stock (but not the Series H Preferred Stock) is converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property (other than a transaction covered by Subsections 6(f) or 6(h)), then, following any such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger, each share of Series H Preferred Stock shall thereafter be convertible in lieu of the Common Stock into which it was convertible prior to such event into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation issuable upon conversion of one share of Series H Preferred Stock immediately prior to such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger would have been entitled to receive pursuant to such transaction; and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation) shall be made in the application of the provisions in this Section 6 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the holders of the Series H Preferred Stock, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 6 (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the Series H Conversion Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of the Series H Preferred Stock.
(j) Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Series H Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 6, the Corporation at its expense shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable but in any event not later than ten (10) days thereafter, compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each holder of Series H Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment (including the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property into which the Series H Preferred Stock is convertible) and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Corporation shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the written request at any time of any holder of Series H Preferred Stock (but in any event not later than ten (10) days thereafter), furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a certificate setting forth (i) the Series H Conversion Price then in effect, and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities, cash or property which then would be received upon the conversion of Series H Preferred Stock.
(k) Notice of Record Date. In the event:
(i) the Corporation shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock (or other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon conversion of the Series H Preferred Stock) for the purpose of entitling or enabling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, or to receive any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other security; or
(ii) of any capital reorganization of the Corporation, any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Corporation, or any Deemed Liquidation Event; or
(iii) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Corporation,
then, and in each such case, the Corporation will send or cause to be sent to the holders of the Series H Preferred Stock a notice specifying, as the case may be, (i) the record date for such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right, or (ii) the effective date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is proposed to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities at the time issuable upon the conversion of the Series H Preferred Stock) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or such other capital stock or securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, and the amount per share and character of such exchange applicable to the Series H Preferred Stock and the Common Stock. Such notice shall be sent at least ten (10) days prior to the record date or effective date for the event specified in such notice.
(l) Mandatory Conversion.
(i) Company Option. Beginning on or after October 15, 2024, and subject to the receipt of any required Nasdaq Stockholder Approval, if the Corporation’s average market capitalization is equal to at least $100,000,000 (A) on such date based on the volume-weighted average closing price per share of Common Stock on such date multiplied by the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock on such date and (B) for the most recently completed fiscal quarter prior to such date based on the volume-weighted average closing price per share of Common Stock for such fiscal quarter multiplied by the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock on the last trading day of such quarter (i) then the Corporation may, at its option, elect that the outstanding shares of Series H Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock at the then effective conversion rate as calculated pursuant to Subsection 6(a)(i) (such date, the “Mandatory Conversion Time”) and (ii) such shares may not be reissued by the Corporation as shares of such series; provided no shares of Series H Preferred Stock of any holder shall be automatically converted pursuant to this Section 6(l) to the extent, as a result of such conversion, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation would be exceeded for such holder; and provided further that prior to the Mandatory Conversion Time, the Corporation shall set aside, declare and pay in full all accrued but unpaid Dividends prior to the Mandatory Conversion Time.
(ii) Procedural Requirements. All holders of record of shares of Series H Preferred Stock shall be sent written notice of the Mandatory Conversion Time and the place designated for mandatory conversion of all such shares of Series H Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 6. Such notice need not be sent in advance of the occurrence of the Mandatory Conversion Time. Upon receipt of such notice, each holder of shares of Series H Preferred Stock in certificated form shall surrender his, her or its certificate or certificates for all such shares (or, if such holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate) to the Corporation at the place designated in such notice. If so required by the Corporation, any certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or by his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. All rights with respect to the Series H Preferred Stock converted pursuant to Subsection 6(a), including the rights, if any, to receive notices and vote (other than as a holder of Common Stock), will terminate at the Mandatory Conversion Time (notwithstanding the failure of the holder or holders thereof to surrender any certificates at or prior to such time), except only the rights of the holders thereof, upon surrender of any certificate or certificates of such holders (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) therefor, to receive the items provided for in the next sentence of this Subsection 6(l)(ii). As soon as practicable after the Mandatory Conversion Time and, if applicable, the surrender of any certificate or certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) for Series H Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall (a) issue and deliver to such holder, or to his, her or its nominees, a certificate or certificates (or a notice of issuance of uncertificated shares, if applicable) for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable on such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof and a certificate (or notice of issuance of uncertificated shares, if applicable) for the number of any remaining shares of Series H Preferred Stock not converted due to the application of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and (b) pay cash as provided in Subsection 6(b) in lieu of any fraction of a share of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon such conversion and the payment of any declared but unpaid dividends on the shares of Series H Preferred Stock converted. Such converted Series H Preferred Stock shall be retired and cancelled and may not be reissued as shares of such series, and the Corporation may thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for stockholder action) as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Series H Preferred Stock accordingly.
7. Redemption.
(a) General. Unless prohibited by Delaware law governing distributions to stockholders, after the date that Nasdaq Stockholder Approval is deemed effective, shares of Series H Preferred Stock shall be redeemable by the Corporation at its option at a price equal to the Series H Original Issue Price per share, plus any Preferred Dividends accrued but unpaid thereon, whether or not declared, up until but excluding the Redemption Date, as defined below (the “Redemption Price”). Following issuance of a Redemption Notice (defined below), the Corporation shall apply all of its legally available assets to any such redemption, and to no other corporate purpose, except to the extent prohibited by Delaware law governing distributions to stockholders. The date of payment provided in the Redemption Notice shall be referred to as the “Redemption Date.” On the Redemption Date, the Corporation shall redeem the outstanding shares of Series H Preferred Stock. If on the Redemption Date, Delaware law governing distributions to stockholders prevents the Corporation from redeeming all shares of Series H Preferred Stock to be redeemed, the Corporation shall ratably redeem the maximum number of shares that it may redeem consistent with such law, and shall redeem the remaining shares as soon as it may lawfully do so under such law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Corporation has executed a definitive agreement for a Deemed Liquidation Event, then the Redemption Date shall be subject to the consummation of the Deemed Liquidation Event and the Redemption Price per share of Series H Preferred Stock shall be equal to the Series H Liquidation Amount.
(b) Redemption Notice. The Corporation shall send written notice of the mandatory redemption (the “Redemption Notice”) to each holder of record of Series H Preferred Stock not less than thirty (30) days but no more than sixty (60) days prior to each Redemption Date. Each Redemption Notice shall state:
(i) the number of shares of Series H Preferred Stock held by the holder that the Corporation shall redeem on the Redemption Date specified in the Redemption Notice;
(ii) the Redemption Date and the Redemption Price;
(iii) the date upon which the holder’s right to convert such shares terminates (as determined in accordance with Subsection 6(a)); and
(iv) for holders of shares in certificated form, that the holder is to surrender to the Corporation, in the manner and at the place designated, his, her or its certificate or certificates representing the shares of Series H Preferred Stock to be redeemed.
(c) Surrender of Certificates; Payment. On or before the applicable Redemption Date, each holder of shares of Series H Preferred Stock to be redeemed on such Redemption Date, unless such holder has exercised his, her or its right to convert such shares as provided in Section 6, shall, if a holder of shares in certificated form, surrender the certificate or certificates representing such shares (or, if such registered holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate) to the Corporation, in the manner and at the place designated in the Redemption Notice, and thereupon the Redemption Price for such shares shall be payable to the order of the person whose name appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner thereof. In the event less than all of the shares of Series H Preferred Stock represented by a certificate are redeemed, a new certificate, instrument, or book entry representing the unredeemed shares of Series H Preferred Stock shall promptly be issued to such holder.
(d) Interest. If any shares of Preferred Stock are not redeemed for any reason on any Redemption Date, all such unredeemed shares shall remain outstanding and entitled to all the rights and preferences provided herein, and the Corporation shall pay interest on the Redemption Price applicable to such unredeemed shares at an aggregate per annum rate equal to twelve percent (12% (increased by one percent (1%) each month following the Redemption Date until the Redemption Price, and any interest thereon, is paid in full), with such interest to accrue daily in arrears and be compounded annually; provided, however, that in no event shall such interest exceed the maximum permitted rate of interest under applicable law (the “Maximum Permitted Rate”), provided, however, that the Corporation shall take all such actions as may be necessary, including without limitation, making any applicable governmental filings, to cause the Maximum Permitted Rate to be the highest possible rate. In the event any provision hereof would result in the rate of interest payable hereunder being in excess of the Maximum Permitted Rate, the amount of interest required to be paid hereunder shall automatically be reduced to eliminate such excess; provided, however, that any subsequent increase in the Maximum Permitted Rate shall be retroactively effective to the applicable Redemption Date to the extent permitted by law.
(e) Rights Subsequent to Redemption. If the Redemption Notice shall have been duly given, and if on the applicable Redemption Date the Redemption Price payable upon redemption of the shares of Series H Preferred Stock to be redeemed on such Redemption Date is paid or tendered for payment or deposited with an independent payment agent so as to be available therefor in a timely manner, then notwithstanding that any certificates evidencing any of the shares of Series H Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall not have been surrendered, dividends with respect to such shares of Series H Preferred Stock shall cease to accrue on such Redemption Date and thereafter and all rights with respect to such shares shall forthwith after the Redemption Date terminate, except only the right of the holders to receive the Redemption Price without interest upon surrender of any such certificate or certificates therefor.
8. Status of Converted or Redeemed Shares. Any shares of Series H Preferred Stock that are converted, redeemed or otherwise acquired by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries in accordance with the terms of this Certificate of Designation shall resume the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock and shall no longer be designated as Series H Preferred Stock and the Corporation may thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for stockholder action) as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Series H Preferred Stock accordingly.
9. Waiver. Any of the rights, powers, preferences and other terms of the Series H Preferred Stock set forth herein may be waived on behalf of all holders of Series H Preferred Stock by the affirmative written consent or vote of the holders of at least a majority of the shares of Series H Preferred Stock then outstanding.
10. Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given to a holder of shares of Series H Preferred Stock shall be mailed, postage prepaid, to the post office address last shown on the records of the Corporation, or given by electronic communication in compliance with the provisions of the DGCL, and shall be deemed sent upon such mailing or electronic transmission.
RESOLVED FURTHER, that the officers of the Corporation be, and they hereby are, authorized and directed, for and in the name and on behalf of the Corporation, to prepare and to file a Certificate of Designation of Series H Preferred Stock in accordance with the foregoing resolution and the provisions of DGCL and to take such actions as they may deem necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent of the foregoing resolutions.”

WHEREAS, the parties desire for CRG to exchange a portion of its currently outstanding debt (including outstanding principal amounts, but excluding any accrued but unpaid interest thereon, and provided that the prepayment premiums and back-end fees associated with such principal amounts shall be waived upon the Closing (as defined below)) in the amounts set forth on Schedule A hereto into equity securities of the Company (the “Exchange,” with such exchanged amount, the “Exchange Amount”);
WHEREAS, the parties intend to execute that certain Consent to Term Loan Agreement relating to the reduction of its currently outstanding debt (the “Consent to Term Loan Agreement”); and
WHEREAS, as consideration for the Exchange, the Company shall issue to the Purchasers in a private placement offering (the “Offering”) the Company’s newly designated Series H Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), with the rights and preferences as set forth in that certain Certificate of Designation of the Company (the “Series H Certificate of Designation” and together with this Agreement and the Consent to Term Loan Agreement, the “Transaction Documents”) in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, upon Exchange of the Exchange Amounts set forth on Schedule A hereto (the “Shares”).
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the respective representations and warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. Sale and Purchase. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase at the Closing and the Company hereby agrees to sell and issue to each Purchaser at the Closing, the number of Shares set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on Schedule A hereto, in exchange for the outstanding debt set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on Schedule A hereto.
2. Closing; Delivery.
(a) Closing. The purchase and sale of the Shares shall take place remotely via the exchange of documents and signatures simultaneously with the satisfaction of each of the conditions set forth in Section 7 and Section 8 (to the extent not waived in accordance therewith) (the “Closing,” and the date on which the Closing occurs hereinafter referred to as the “Closing Date”).
(b) Exchange; Delivery. Immediately upon the Closing, the Exchange shall be effected. At the Closing, the Company shall deliver to each Purchaser, in book entry form, the Shares being purchased by such Purchaser pursuant to the Exchange.
3. Representations and Warranties of the Company. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, the Company hereby represents and warrants to each Purchaser, as of the Closing Date, the following:
(a) Organization and Qualification. The Company and each of its subsidiaries is a corporation or other business entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation, and has the requisite corporate power to own its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted. The Company and each of its subsidiaries is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing would not have a material adverse effect on the assets, business, conditions (financial or otherwise), results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole (a “Material Adverse Effect”).
(b) Authorization, Enforcement, Compliance with Other Instruments.
(i) The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement and each of the other agreements and documents that are exhibits hereto or thereto or are contemplated hereby or thereby or necessary or desirable to effect the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby and to issue the Securities (as defined below), in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof;
(ii) the execution and delivery by the Company of each of the Transaction Documents and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including, without limitation, the issuance of the Securities, have been, or will be at the time of execution of such Transaction Document, duly authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors, and no further consent or authorization is, or will be at the time of execution of such Transaction Document, required by the Company, its respective Board of Directors or its stockholders;
(iii) each of the Transaction Documents will be duly executed and delivered by the Company; and
(iv) the Transaction Documents when executed will constitute the valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of creditors’ rights and remedies.
(c) Capitalization. The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) and 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. All of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and of the stock of each of the Company’s subsidiaries have been duly authorized, validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all liens. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares (the “Underlying Shares” and together with the Shares, the “Securities”) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and when issued in accordance with the terms of the Series H Certificate of Designation, will be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all liens and the holders shall be entitled to all rights accorded to a holder of Common Stock. The Company will reserve from its duly authorized capital stock a number of shares of Common Stock for issuance of the Underlying Shares. After giving effect to the Closing:
(i) no shares of capital stock of the Company or any of its subsidiaries will be subject to preemptive rights or any other similar rights or any liens or encumbrances suffered or permitted by the Company;
(ii) all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company have the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions set forth in the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as in effect as of the date hereof (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), and the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, as in effect as of the date hereof (the “Bylaws”).
(iii) except as set forth in the SEC Reports (as defined below), there are no agreements or arrangements under which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is obligated to register the sale of any of their securities under the Securities Act;
(iv) except as set forth in the SEC Reports (as defined below), there are no outstanding comment letters from the SEC or any other regulatory agency;
(v) except as set forth in the SEC Reports (as defined below), there are no securities or instruments containing anti-dilution or similar provisions, including the right to adjust the exercise, exchange or reset price under such securities, that will be triggered by the issuance of the Securities; and
(vi) no co-sale right, right of first refusal or other similar right will exist with respect to the Securities or the issuance and sale thereof.
(d) Issuance of Shares. The Shares are duly authorized and, upon issuance in accordance with the terms hereof, shall be duly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and are free and clear from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof. Any Underlying Shares will have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance and, upon conversion of the Shares into shares of Common Stock, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and are free and clear from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.
(e) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of each of the Transaction Documents by the Company, and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not (i) result in a violation of the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws (or equivalent constitutive document) of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or (ii) violate or conflict with, or result in a breach of any provision of, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company or any subsidiary is a party, except for those which would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (iii) result in a material violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including U.S. federal and state securities laws and regulations) applicable to the Company or any subsidiary or by which any property or asset of the Company or any subsidiary is bound or affected. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is in violation of any term of or in default under its Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or any other constitutive documents. Except for those violations or defaults which would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, neither the Company nor any subsidiary is in violation of any term of or in default under any contract, agreement, mortgage, indebtedness, indenture, instrument, judgment, decree or order or any statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company or any subsidiary. The business of the Company and its subsidiaries is not being conducted, and shall not be conducted in violation of any law, ordinance or regulation of any governmental entity, except for any violation which would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as specifically contemplated by this Agreement and as required under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws and the rules of the Principal Market, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is required to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under or contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof. Neither the execution and delivery by the Company of the Transaction Documents, nor the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, will require any notice, consent or waiver under any contract or instrument to which the Company or any subsidiary is a party or by which the Company or any subsidiary is bound or to which any of their assets is subject. The Company is unaware of any facts or circumstance, which might give rise to any of the foregoing.
(f) Absence of Litigation. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, there is no action, suit, claim, inquiry, notice of violation, proceeding (including any partial proceeding such as a deposition) or investigation before or by any court, public board, governmental or administrative agency, self-regulatory organization, arbitrator, regulatory authority, stock market, stock exchange or trading facility (an “Action”) now pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, against or affecting the Company or any of its subsidiaries. For the purpose of this Agreement, the knowledge of the Company means the knowledge of the officers of the Company (both actual or knowledge that they would have had upon reasonable investigation).
(g) Acknowledgment Regarding Purchaser’s Purchase of the Shares. The Company acknowledges and agrees that each Purchaser is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length purchaser with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.
(h) No General Solicitation. Neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor, to the knowledge of the Company, any person acting on its or their behalf, has engaged in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D) in connection with the offer or sale of the Shares. With respect to a Purchaser, any investment fund or managed account that is managed on a discretionary basis by the same investment manager as such Purchaser will be deemed to be an Affiliate of such Purchaser. For purposes of this Agreement, “Affiliate” means, with respect to any person, any other person that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such person, as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”).
(i) No Integrated Offering. Neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor to the knowledge of the Company, any person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would require registration of the Shares under the Securities Act or cause this offering of the Shares to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the Securities Act.
(j) Employee Relations. Neither Company nor any subsidiary is involved in any labor dispute nor, to the knowledge of the Company, is any such dispute threatened. Neither Company nor any subsidiary is party to any collective bargaining agreement. The Company’s and/or its subsidiaries’ employees are not members of any union, and the Company believes that its and its subsidiaries’ relationship with their respective employees is good.
(k) Intellectual Property Rights. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, (i) the Company and each of its subsidiaries owns, possesses, or has rights to, all Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ business as now conducted, except as such failure to own, possess or have such rights would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and (ii) there are no unreleased liens or security interests which have been filed, or which the Company has received notice of, against any of the patents owned or licenses to the Company. Furthermore, (A) to the Company’s knowledge, there is no infringement, misappropriation or violation by third parties of any such Intellectual Property, except as such infringement, misappropriation or violation would not result in a Material Adverse Effect; (B) there is no pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened, action, suit, proceeding or claim by others challenging the Company’s or any of its subsidiaries’ rights in or to any such Intellectual Property, and the Company is unaware of any facts which would form a reasonable basis for any such claim; (C) the Intellectual Property owned by the Company and its subsidiaries, and to the Company’s knowledge, the Intellectual Property licensed to the Company and its subsidiaries, has not been adjudged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and there is no pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened action, suit, proceeding or claim by others challenging the validity, enforceability or scope of any such Intellectual Property, and, to the Company’s knowledge, there are no facts which would form a reasonable basis for any such claim; (D) there is no pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened action, suit, proceeding or claim by others that the Company or any of its subsidiaries infringes, misappropriates or otherwise violates any Intellectual Property or other proprietary rights of others, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has received any notice of such claim and, to the Company’s knowledge, there are no other facts which would form a reasonable basis for any such claim, except for any action, suit, proceeding or claim as would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and (E) to the Company’s knowledge, no employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is in or has ever been in violation of any term of any employment contract, patent disclosure agreement, invention assignment agreement, non-competition agreement, non-solicitation agreement, nondisclosure agreement or any restrictive covenant to or with a former employer where the basis of such violation relates to such employee’s employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or actions undertaken by the employee while employed with the Company or any of its subsidiaries, except as such violation would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and to the Company’s knowledge, (A) there are no facts that are reasonably likely to provide a basis for a finding that the Company or any of its subsidiaries does not have clear title or valid license or sublicense rights to the patents or patent applications owned or licensed to the Company or other proprietary information rights as being owned by, or licensed or sublicensed to, as the case may be, the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (B) no valid issued U.S. patent is or would be infringed by the activities of the Company or any of its subsidiaries relating to products currently or proposed to be manufactured, used or sold by the Company or any of its subsidiaries and (C) there are no facts with respect to any issued patent owned or licensed to the Company that would cause any claim of any such patent not to be valid and enforceable in accordance with applicable regulations. “Intellectual Property” shall mean all patents, patent applications, trade and service marks, trade and service mark registrations, trade names, copyrights, licenses, inventions, trade secrets, domain names, technology and know-how.
(l) Environmental Laws.
(i) The Company and each subsidiary has complied with all applicable Environmental Laws (as defined below), except for violations of Environmental Laws that, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Environmental Law” means any national, state, provincial or local law, statute, rule or regulation or the common law relating to the environment or occupational health and safety, including without limitation any statute, regulation, administrative decision or order pertaining to (i) treatment, storage, disposal, generation and transportation of industrial, toxic or hazardous materials or substances or solid or hazardous waste; (ii) air, water and noise pollution; (iii) groundwater and soil contamination; (iv) the release or threatened release into the environment of industrial, toxic or hazardous materials or substances, or solid or hazardous waste, including without limitation emissions, discharges, injections, spills, escapes or dumping of pollutants, contaminants or chemicals; (v) the protection of wild life, marine life and wetlands, including without limitation all endangered and threatened species; (vi) storage tanks, vessels, containers, abandoned or discarded barrels, and other closed receptacles; (vii) health and safety of employees and other persons; and (viii) manufacturing, processing, using, distributing, treating, storing, disposing, transporting or handling of materials regulated under any law as pollutants, contaminants, toxic or hazardous materials or substances or oil or petroleum products or solid or hazardous waste.

Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has, either voluntarily or involuntarily, initiated, conducted, or issued or caused to be initiated, conducted or issued, any recall, market withdrawal or replacement, safety alert, post sale warning, “dear doctor” letter, or other notice or action relating to the alleged lack of safety or efficacy of any product or any alleged product defect or violation and, to the Company’s knowledge, no third party has initiated or conducted any such notice or action.

(q) Certain Transactions.

(a) Organization; Authority. Such Purchaser is an entity duly incorporated or formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation with full right, corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and performance by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar action, as applicable, on the part of such Purchaser. This Agreement has been duly executed by such Purchaser, and when delivered by such Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except: (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.
(b) Own Account. Such Purchaser understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” and have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Securities or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, has no present intention of distributing any of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law (this representation and warranty not limiting such Purchaser’s right to sell the Securities pursuant to a registration statement or otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws).
(c) Purchaser Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the Securities, it was, and as of the date hereof it is, and on each date on which it converts any Shares, it will be either: (i) an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7) or (a)(8) under the Securities Act or (ii) a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A(a) under the Securities Act.
(d) Experience of Such Purchaser. Such Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Securities, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment. Such Purchaser and its advisors, if any, have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Company, and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Securities, that have been requested by such Purchaser or its advisors, if any. Such Purchaser acknowledges and understands that its investment in the Securities involves a significant degree of risk.
(e) General Solicitation. Such Purchaser is not purchasing the Shares as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Shares published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or, to such Purchaser’s knowledge, any other general solicitation or general advertisement.
(f) Access to Information. Such Purchaser acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review the Transaction Documents (including all exhibits and schedules thereto) and the SEC Reports and has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Shares and the merits and risks of investing in the Shares; (ii) access to information about the Company and its financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment.
(g) No Governmental Review. Such Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities.
(h) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by such Purchaser of this Agreement and the consummation by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby will not (i) result in a violation of the organizational documents of such Purchaser or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which such Purchaser is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws) applicable to such Purchaser, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for such that are not material and do not otherwise affect the ability of such Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.
(i) No Legal, Tax or Investment Advice. Such Purchaser understands that nothing in this Agreement or any other materials presented by or on behalf of the Company to the Purchaser in connection with the purchase of the Shares constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. Such Purchaser has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of the Shares.
5. Transfer Restrictions. The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees as follows:
(a) None of the Securities have been registered for sale under the Securities Act, in reliance on the private offering exemption in Section 4(a)(2) thereof; the Company does not currently intend to register the Securities under the Securities Act at any time in the future; and the undersigned will not immediately be entitled to the benefits of Rule 144 with respect to the Shares or the Underlying Shares.
(b) The Purchaser understands that there are substantial restrictions on the transferability of the Securities that the certificates representing the Securities shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of such certificates or other instruments):
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933. SUCH SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR A VALID EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF SAID ACT.
The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of the Securities upon which it is stamped, if (a) such Securities are sold pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act, (b) such holder delivers to the Company an opinion of counsel, reasonably acceptable to the Company, that a disposition of the Securities is being made pursuant to an exemption from such registration, or (c) any other evidence reasonably requested and reasonably satisfactory to counsel to the Company to the effect that the proposed sale, pledge, or transfer of the Securities may be effected without registration under the Securities Act. The Company will not require a legal opinion (x) in any transaction in compliance with Rule 144, provided that Purchaser provides customary representations regarding Purchaser’s eligibility to sell securities under Rule 144; or (y) in any transaction in which such Purchaser distributes Securities to an Affiliate of such Purchaser for no consideration.
6. Covenants and Other Rights.
(a) Listing of Common Stock. The Company shall promptly secure the listing of the Underlying Shares upon each national securities exchange and automated quotation system that requires an application by the Company for listing, if any, upon which shares of Common Stock are then listed (subject to official notice of issuance) and shall maintain such listing, so long as any other shares of Common Stock shall be so listed. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the Common Stock’s listing on the Principal Market. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall take any action that would be reasonably expected to result in the delisting or suspension of the Common Stock on the Principal Market, unless the Common Stock is immediately thereafter traded on the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE MKT, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, or the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligations under this Section 6(a).
(b) Tax Treatment of Preferred Stock. The Company covenants and agrees that, unless otherwise required pursuant to a final determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code, (i) the Company shall treat the Shares as stock that participates in corporate growth to a significant extent within the meaning of Section 1.305-5(a) of the Treasury Regulations and therefore shall not be treated as preferred stock for purposes of Section 305 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, and (ii) for U.S. federal and applicable state income and withholding tax purposes no dividends shall be treated as having been paid with respect to the Shares unless and until declared and actually paid in cash or other property with respect to the Shares. The parties hereto shall file all tax returns and determine all taxes consistent with such treatment and shall not take any action that is inconsistent with such treatment unless otherwise required by a final determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code.

(b) Performance. The Company shall have performed in all material respects all obligations and covenants herein required to be performed by it on or prior to the Closing Date.

(d) Good Standing. The Company and each of its subsidiaries is a corporation or other business entity duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation.
(e) Judgments.

9. Indemnification.
(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser, and its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other persons with a functionally equivalent role of a person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each person who controls such Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, shareholders, agents, members, partners or employees (and any other persons with a functionally equivalent role of a person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling person, from and against all losses, liabilities, claims, damages, costs, fees and expenses whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any and all expenses incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation commenced or threatened) arising from any Action based upon or arising out of the Company’s actual false representation or warranty, including, but not limited to, Section 3(dd), or material breach by the Company of any covenant or agreement made by the Company, contained herein or in any other document delivered by the Company in connection with this Agreement; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent and only to the extent that any such loss, liability, claim, damage, cost, fee or expense arises out of or is based upon the inaccuracy of any representations made by such indemnified party in this Agreement.
(b) Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other persons with a functionally equivalent role of a person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each person who controls such indemnified person (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, shareholders, agents, members, partners or employees (and any other persons with a functionally equivalent role of a person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling person, from and against all losses, liabilities, claims, damages, costs, fees and expenses whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any and all expenses incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation commenced or threatened, and including in settlement of any litigation, but only if such settlement is effected with the written consent of Purchaser) arising from any Action insofar as such losses, liabilities, claims, damages, costs, fees and expenses are primarily based upon or primarily arise out of the Purchaser’s actual false representation or warranty or material breach by the Purchaser of any covenant or agreement made by the Purchaser, contained herein or in any other document delivered by the Purchaser in connection with this Agreement.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 9 of notice of the commencement of any Action for which such indemnified party is asserting a right to indemnification under this Section 9, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 9, promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 9, unless such delay materially harms the indemnifying party. In case any such Action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein, and to the extent that it may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, if the defendants in any such Action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and either (i) the indemnifying party or parties and the indemnified party or parties mutually agree or (ii) representation of both the indemnifying party or parties and the indemnified party or parties by the same counsel is inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct due to actual or potential differing interests between them, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such Action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense of such Action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 9 for any reasonable legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed counsel in connection with the assumption of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the next preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel in such circumstance), (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the Action or (iii) the indemnifying party has authorized the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party shall (i) without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened Action in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such Action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such Action, or (ii) be liable for any settlement of any such Action effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with its written consent or if there be a final judgment of the plaintiff in any such Action, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.
10. [Reserved].
11. Termination. This Agreement shall automatically terminate and become null and void if the Closing Date shall not have occurred on or before June 30, 2024.

13. Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under this Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under this Agreement. Nothing contained herein and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group, or are deemed affiliates (as such term is defined under the Exchange Act) with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
14. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended only for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person.

SECTION 7. Release of Claims. Each Obligor acknowledges and confirms that it has no knowledge of any actions, causes of action, claims, demands, damages or liabilities of whatever kind or nature, in law or in equity, against any Secured Party, in any case, arising from any action or failure of any Secured Party to act under any Loan Document on or prior to the date hereof, or of any offset right, counterclaim or defense of any kind against any of its respective obligations, indebtedness or liabilities to Secured Party under any Loan Document. Each Obligor unconditionally releases, waives and forever discharges (i) any and all liabilities, obligations, duties, promises or indebtedness of any kind of any Lender to such Obligor, except the obligations required to be performed by any Lender under the Loan Documents on or after the date hereof, and (ii) all claims, offsets, causes of action, suits or defenses of any kind whatsoever (if any), whether arising at law or in equity, whether known or unknown, which such Obligor might otherwise have against any Secured Party in connection with the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii), on account of any past or presently existing condition, act, omission, event, contract, liability, obligation, indebtedness, claim, cause of action, defense, circumstance or matter of any kind.

Except as expressly stated herein, the Lenders reserve all rights, privileges and remedies under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all such rights, privileges and remedies with respect to any Default, Event of Default or Material Adverse Effect, whether or not communicated to Lenders). Except as amended hereby, the Loan Agreement and other Loan Documents remain unmodified and in full force and effect. All references in the Loan Documents to the Loan Agreement shall be deemed to be references to the Loan Agreement as amended hereby.
(b) Severability. In case any provision of or obligation under this Consent shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Executed counterparts delivered by facsimile or other electronic transmission (e.g., “PDF” or “TIF”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart.
(f) Controlling Provisions.

Exhibit 99.1
Avinger Announces Conversion of $11 Million of CRG Debt into Preferred Equity
Redwood City, Calif., May 16, 2024 - Avinger, Inc. (Nasdaq: AVGR), a commercial-stage medical device company developing and marketing the first and only intravascular image-guided, catheter-based systems for diagnosis and treatment of vascular disease, today announced the conversion of $11 million or approximately 80% of its existing debt with entities affiliated with CRG Partners III L.P. (“CRG”) into a shares of a new series of convertible preferred stock.
Following the conversion, the outstanding principal amount of debt with CRG is $2.6 million. The debt conversion results in an $11 million increase in stockholders’ equity.
Complete details of the conversion are available in an 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission today.
“We appreciate CRG’s continued support as we expand our proprietary image-guided technology to new markets and advance the development of our innovative coronary artery disease platform,” said Jeff Soinski, Avinger’s President and CEO. “Converting the majority of our outstanding debt to equity strengthens our balance sheet and supports Avinger’s efforts to regain compliance with the Nasdaq’s stockholder equity standard for continued listing.”
About Avinger, Inc.
Avinger is a commercial-stage medical device company that designs and develops the first image-guided, catheter-based system for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with vascular disease in the peripheral and coronary arteries.

Avinger is developing its first product application for the treatment of coronary artery disease (CAD), an image-guided system for CTO-crossing in the coronary arteries, which provides the opportunity to redefine a large and underserved market.
