Convertible Notes/Debentures

As of September 30, 2020, the Company had approximately $23 million aggregate principal amount of convertible notes and debentures (collectively, the “Convertible Notes”) outstanding that were issued pursuant to securities purchase agreements (or, in the case of the Settlement Notes (as defined herein), the Settlement Agreement (as defined herein)) entered into with numerous investors.

The Convertible Notes are convertible at any time, at the holder’s option, into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations (which vary between maximum ownership of between 4.99% and 9.99%). The conversion price of the Convertible Notes is also generally subject to adjustment due to certain events, including stock dividends, stock splits and in connection with the issuance by the Company of common stock or common stock equivalents at an effective price per share lower than the conversion price then in effect. The conversion price for each of the Company’s outstanding Convertible Notes is currently $0.20 per share. In addition, approximately $5.3 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s Convertible Notes will be subject to mandatory conversion in connection with the completion of a future financing in the amount of at least $15 million, subject to the beneficial ownership limitations described above.

The Convertible Notes generally have terms of six months to one year and mature between August 2, 2019 and January 7, 2021, unless earlier converted or repurchased. The Convertible Notes each accrue interest at a rate of 10% per annum, subject to increase to 18% per annum upon and during the occurrence of an event of default with respect to certain of the Convertible Notes. Interest is payable in cash or, with respect to certain of the Convertible Notes, and at the holder’s option, in shares of common stock based on the conversion price then in effect.

Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Notes, the Company is required to make an offer to repurchase, at the holder’s option, the Settlement Notes at price in cash equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Settlement Note plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of repurchase following the consummation by the Company of a financing transaction, or a series of transactions, resulting in aggregate gross proceeds to the Company in excess of $7.5 million. Generally, the Company otherwise does not have the right to prepay any of the Convertible Notes without the prior written consent of the holders of such securities.

The Convertible Notes contain a number of affirmative and negative covenants and customary events of default. As of September 30, 2020, approximately $13.2 aggregate principal amount of our Convertible Notes were in default. See “Forbearance Agreements” below.

The securities purchase agreements and Settlement Agreement, as applicable, also generally contain certain ongoing covenants of the Company, including rights of participation in certain future financing transactions, limitations on future variable rate transactions and “at-the-market” offerings and “most favored nation” provisions giving holders of certain of the Convertible Notes the benefit of any terms or conditions under which the Company agrees to issue or sell any common stock or common stock equivalents that are more favorable to an investor than the terms and conditions granted to such holder under the applicable securities purchase agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

The Convertible Notes are senior obligations of the Company. In addition, approximately $8.9 million aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. Convertible Notes are also secured by individual pledges by certain of our current and former officers and directors of our common stock owned by such officer and directors.

Forbearance Agreements

Effective as of June 23, 2020, the Company entered into Standstill and Forbearance Agreements (collectively, the “Forbearance Agreements”) with the holders of $13.2 million aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes (the “Default Notes”), which are currently in default. Pursuant to the Forbearance Agreements, the holders of the Default Notes have agreed to forbear from exercising their rights and remedies under the Default Notes (including declaring such Default Notes (together with any default amounts and accrued and unpaid interest) immediately due and payable) until the earlier of (i) the date that the Company completes a future financing in the amount of $15 million and, in connection therewith, commences listing on NASDAQ (collectively, the “New Financing”) or (ii) January 31, 2021 (the “Termination Date”). As a result of the ongoing default, the Default Notes are currently accruing interest at the default rate of 18% per annum and have accrued additional default amounts of approximately $3.9 million in the aggregate as of September 30, 2020.

The obligations of the holders to forbear from exercising their rights and remedies under the Default Notes pursuant to the Forbearance Agreements will terminate on the earliest of (i) the Termination Date, (ii) the date of any bankruptcy filing by the Company or its subsidiaries, (iii) the date on which the Company defaults on any of the terms and conditions of the Forbearance Agreements or (iv) the date the Forbearance Agreements are otherwise terminated or expire.

The Forbearance Agreements contain various customary and other representations, warranties and covenants of the Company and the holders of the Default Notes, including an agreement that the Default Notes (together with default amounts and accrued and unpaid interest) will be converted into common stock upon the closing of a New Financing at a conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) the conversion price in effect for the Default Notes on the date of such New Financing or (ii) 75% of the lowest per share price at which common stock is or may be issued in connection with such New Financing, in each case, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations (with a maximum ownership limit of 9.99%). Shares of the Company’s preferred stock, which are convertible into the Company’s common stock, will be issued in lieu of common stock to the extent that conversion of the Default Notes is prohibited by such beneficial ownership limitations.
