shall be cumulative and there are no sinking fund provisions applicable to the Series D Preferred Stock. The Series D Preferred Stock does not have redemption rights. The stated value per share for the Series D Preferred Stock is $1,000 (the “Stated Value”).
In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the Series D Preferred Stock will be entitled, on apari passu basis with the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock and in preference to any payment or distribution to any holders of the Series B Preferred Stock or common stock, an amount per share equal to the Stated Value and the amount of any accrued and unpaid dividends. The holders of the Series D Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock will then receive distributions along with the holders of common stock on apari passu basis according to the number of shares of common stock the Series D Preferred holders would be entitled if they converted their shares of Series D Preferred Stock at the time of such distribution.
If, at any time while the Series D Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Company effects any reorganization, merger or sale of the Company or substantially all of its assets (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), a holder of the Series D Preferred Stock will have the right to receive any shares of the acquiring corporation or other consideration it would have been entitled to receive if it had been a holder of the number of shares of common stock then issuable upon conversion in full of the Series D Preferred Stock immediately prior to the Fundamental Transaction.
Each share of Series D Preferred Stock is convertible at any time at the holder’s option into that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock determined by dividing the Stated Value by the conversion price of $0.80 (subject to adjustment as set forth in the certificate of designation for the Series D Preferred Stock). No fractional shares will be issued upon the conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock.

Long-Term Convertible Note
On March 31, 2020, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company issued a secured convertible promissory note, as amended (the “Note”) with atwo-year maturity to an institutional accredited investor (the “Investor”) in the initial principal amount of $17.1 million. The Note is secured by all of the assets of the Company, excluding the Company’s intellectual property. The Investor gave consideration of $15.0 million, reflecting original issue discount of $2.1 million. The Company anticipates using the proceeds for general working capital purposes.
In connection with the investment in the Note, the Company entered into a Security Agreement, pursuant to which all obligations owing to the Investor by the Company, are secured by a first-position security interest in all the assets of the Company, excluding the Company’s intellectual property.
Interest accrues on the outstanding balance of the Note at 10% per annum. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Agreement), interest accrues at the lesser of 22% per annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. In addition, upon any Event of Default, the Investor may accelerate the outstanding balance payable under the Note, which will increase automatically upon such acceleration by 15%, 10% or 5%, depending on the nature of the Event of Default.
The Investor may convert all or any part the outstanding balance of the Note into shares of common stock at an initial conversion price of $4.50 per share upon five trading days’ notice, subject to certain adjustments and volume and ownership limitations specified in the Note. In addition to standard anti-dilution adjustments, the conversion price of the Note is subject to full-ratchet anti-dilution protection, pursuant to which the conversion price will be automatically reduced to equal the effective price per share in any new offering by the Company of equity securities that have registration rights, are registered or become registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Note provides for liquidated damages upon failure to deliver common stock within specified timeframes.
The Investor may redeem any portion of the Note, at any time after six months from the issue date upon three trading days’ notice, subject to a Maximum Monthly Redemption Amount of $950,000. The Note requires the Company to satisfy its redemption obligations in cash within three trading days of the Company’s receipt of such notice. The Company may prepay the outstanding balance of the Note, in part or in full, at a 15% premium to par value, at any time upon fifteen trading days’ notice.
Investor may sell Conversion Shares (as defined in the Agreement) pursuant to a registration statement prior to the date that is six (6) months from the issue date and will be limited to 1,000,000 shares per calendar month (the “Volume Limitation”); provided, however, in the event anyintra-day trading price of the common stock during the applicable time period meets or exceeds $4.50 per share then the Volume Limitation shall not apply for the remainder of the calendar month or the five trading days thereafter, whichever is longer.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and the Note, the Company must obtain the Investor’s consent before assuming additional debt with aggregate net proceeds to the Company of less than $15 million. Upon any such approval, the outstanding principal balance of the Notes shall increase automatically by 5% upon the issuance of such additional debt.
