The description of the Exchange Agreement set forth in Item 3 (including the caveat referring to the entire copy of the Exchange Agreement filed as an exhibit to this Schedule 13D) is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 6. The description of the 10b5-1 Plan set forth in Item 4 (including the caveat referring to the entire copy of the 10b5-1 Plan filed as an exhibit to this Schedule 13D) is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 6. On March 7, 2016, the Issuer issued DE LLC, 50,000 shares of the Issuer's Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series C"). In accordance with the terms of the Issuer's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, (the "Charter") each share of Series C would be convertible into one share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment for each issuance of Common Stock (but not upon issuance of common stock equivalents) that occurred from the date of issuance of the Series C (the "issue date") until the fifth (5th) anniversary of the issue date, such that the total number of shares of Common Stock held by DE LLC (based on the number of shares of Common Stock held as of the date of issuance) will be preserved at the same percentage of shares of Common Stock outstanding held by DE LLC on the date of issuance. Pursuant to the Charter, the Series C would only be convertible by DE LLC upon the determination by the Board of Directors of the Issuer (the "Board") that one of the "optional conversion thresholds" (as defined in the Charter) has been met. In addition, upon the Board's determination that an "optional conversion threshold" has been met, the holder of the Series C shall be entitled to vote on all matters required or permitted to be voted on by the holders of Common Stock and shall be entitled to that number of votes equal to three votes for the number of shares of Common Stock into which such holder's shares of the Series C could then be converted. At a meeting of the Board on November 12, 2020, a majority of the independent directors of the Board approved that the "optional conversion threshold" had been met. As a result, the Series C became immediately convertible into 2,369,470 shares of Common Stock and DE LLC, the holder of the Series C, became entitled to 7,148,410 votes. Additionally, at the meeting of the Board on November 12, 2020, the Board and Mr. O'Dowd agreed to restrict the conversion of the Series C until the Board approved its conversion. Therefore, on November 16, 2020, the Issuer and DE LLC entered into a Stock Restriction Agreement pursuant to which the conversion of the Series C is prohibited until such time as a majority of the independent directors of the Board approves the removal of the prohibition. The Stock Restriction Agreement also prohibits the sale or other transfer of the Series C until such transfer is approved by a majority of the independent directors of the Board. The Stock Restriction Agreement shall terminate upon a Change of Control (as such term is defined in the Stock Restriction Agreement) of the Issuer. On September 29, 2022, the Issuer and Mr. O'Dowd entered into an amendment to the Stock Restriction Agreement whereby the conversion of the Series C is prohibited for three years after the date of such amendment, and afterwards until such time as a majority of the independent directors of the Board approves the removal of the prohibition. The foregoing description of the Stock Restriction Agreement and its amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of such Agreement and its amendment which are an exhibit to this Schedule 13D.
