ITEM 1.01. ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

On March 29, 2010, Glowpoint, Inc. (“Glowpoint” or the “Company”) entered into a series of transactions that resulted in the Company raising growth capital and exchanging shares of its outstanding Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A-2 Preferred Stock”) with an aggregate liquidation preference of approximately $21,589,000 for a newly-created Perpetual Series B Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”) and for shares of common stock.

Pursuant to a Series B Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, dated March 29, 2010 (the “Purchase Agreement”), the Company received approximately $3 million of gross proceeds in a closing (the “Closing”) of a private placement of approximately 30 shares of its newly-created Series B Preferred Stock.

Each share of Series B Preferred Stock has a stated value of $100,000 per share (the “Stated Value”) and a liquidation preference equal to the Stated Value together with all accrued and unpaid dividends.  The Series B Preferred Stock is not convertible into common stock. The Series B Preferred Stock is senior to all other classes of equity and, commencing on January 1, 2013, is entitled to cumulative dividends at a rate of 4% per annum, payable quarterly, based on the Stated Value.  Commencing January 1, 2014, the cumulative dividend rate increases to 12% per annum, payable quarterly, based on the Stated Value.  The Company may, at its option at any time, redeem all or a portion of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock by paying the Stated Value together with all accrued and unpaid dividends.

The foregoing description of the private placement of the Series B Preferred Stock and the specific terms of the Series B Preferred Stock is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the form of Purchase Agreement and the form of Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series B Preferred Stock attached to this report as Exhibits 10.1 and 4.1, respectively.

Pursuant to that certain Series A-2 Preferred Exchange Agreement, dated March 29, 2010 (the “Series A-2 Exchange Agreement”), (i) 50 shares of Series B Preferred Stock with a liquidation preference of $5,000,000 were issued in exchange for 1,333.3333 shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock with a liquidation preference of $10,000,000 and (ii) 15,452,000 shares of common stock were issued in exchange for 1,545.20 shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock with a liquidation preference of $11,589,000 (reflecting the issuance of common stock at $0.75 per share). The foregoing description of the issuance of shares of Series B Preferred Stock and common stock in qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the Series A-2 Exchange Agreement attached to this report as Exhibit 10.2.

Pursuant to that certain Series A-2 Preferred Consent Agreement, dated March 29, 2010 (the “Series A-2 Consent Agreement”), the holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Company’s Series A-2 Preferred Stock (i) consented to the creation of the Series B Preferred Stock, (ii) repeal and eliminate the applicability of any adjustment to the Conversion Price (as defined in the Series A-2 Certificate of Designation) that may be authorized in the Series A-2 Certificate of Designation in certain circumstances, and (iii) amend and alter the provisions of Section 3(a) of the Series A-2 Certificate of Designation to replace $3,000,000 with $7,000,000 at the end thereof so as to read, “obtain and utilize any line of credit, factoring arrangement or other similar financing arrangement in connection with servicing the Company’s receivables in an aggregate amount up to $7,000,000”. The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the Series A-2 Preferred Consent Agreement attached to this report as Exhibit 10.3.

Immediately following the closing of these transactions, the Company’s outstanding capital stock consisted of: approximately 80,602,232 shares of common stock; approximately 1630.1554 shares of Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Stock, which have an aggregate liquidation preference of approximately $12,226,168 and are convertible into approximately 16,301,559 shares of common stock at $0.75 per share; approximately 80 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, which have an aggregate liquidation preference of approximately $8,000,000 but are not convertible into common stock; options to employees; warrants to acquire approximately 1,703,303 shares at an exercise price of $0.40, which expire on November 25, 2013; and the Financial Advisory Warrants described below.

Burnham Hill Partners LLC (“BHP”), acted as placement agent for the new financing and acted as financial advisor for the other transactions disclosed herein and received a fee of $210,000 at the Closing, which equaled seven (7%) percent of the gross proceeds received by the Company in the Closing.  Glowpoint also issued advisory warrants to BHP and/or its designees and assignees to purchase shares of common stock equal to one and two-tenths (1.2%) percent of the diluted common shares outstanding immediately following the closing of the above-described transactions, at an exercise price of $0.632 per share, which equals 110% of the volume weighted average trading price for the ten days prior to the closing, and are exercisable for a period of five years (the “Financial Advisory Warrants”).

2.   ­ Dividends .

(a)             Rate . Holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, on each share of Series B Preferred Stock, out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends under Delaware law, cumulative cash dividends with respect to each Dividend Period (as defined below) at the “Applicable Per Annum Rate” (as defined below) on (i) the amount of $100,000 per share of Series B Preferred Stock and (ii) the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends on such share of Series B Preferred Stock, if any (giving effect to (A) any dividends paid through the Dividend Payment Date (as defined below) that begins such Dividend Period (other than the initial Dividend Period) and (B) any dividends (including dividends thereon at a Applicable Per Annum Rate to the date of payment) paid during such Dividend Period).  The “ Applicable Per Annum Rate ” is (i) four percent (4%) per annum commencing on January 1, 2013 and (ii) twelve percent (12%) per annum commencing on January 1, 2014.  Such dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative from the period beginning on January 1, 2013  (“Dividend Accrual Date”), shall compound on each Dividend Payment Date (i.e., no dividends shall accrue on other dividends unless and until the first Dividend Payment Date for such other dividends has passed without such other dividends having been paid on such date) and shall accrue and be payable in arrears (as provided below in this Section 2(a)), but only when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors on or before the tenth business day after the end of each March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 quarterly period (each, a “Dividend Payment Date”), commencing on January 1, 2013; provided that if any such Dividend Payment Date would otherwise occur on a day that is not a Business Day, such Dividend Payment Date shall instead be (and any dividend payable on Series B Preferred Stock on such Dividend Payment Date shall instead be payable on) the immediately succeeding business day. Dividends payable on the Series B Preferred Stock in respect of any Dividend Period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The amount of dividends payable on the Series B Preferred Stock on any date prior to the end of a Dividend Period, and for the initial 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.  No dividends shall accrue or be payable on the Series B Preferred Stock from the date of issuance through and including December 31, 2012.

Dividends that are payable on Series B Preferred Stock on any Dividend Payment Date will be payable to holders of record of Series B Preferred Stock as they appear on the stock register of the Corporation on the applicable record date, which shall be the 15th calendar day before such Dividend Payment Date (as originally scheduled) or such other record date fixed by the Board of Directors that is not more than 60 nor less than 10 days prior to such Dividend Payment Date (each, a “Dividend Record Date”). Any such day that is a Dividend Record Date shall be a Dividend Record Date whether or not such day is a Business Day.

Each dividend period (a “Dividend Period”) shall commence on and include a Dividend Payment Date (other than the initial Dividend Period, which shall commence on and include January 1, 2013) and shall end on and include the calendar day next preceding the next Dividend Payment Date. Dividends payable in respect of a Dividend Period shall be payable in arrears on the first Dividend Payment Date after such Dividend Period.

Holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any dividends, whether payable in cash, securities or other property, other than dividends (if any) declared and payable on the Series B Preferred Stock as specified in this Section 2 (subject to the other provisions of this Certificate of Designations), out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends under Delaware law.  In the event funds are not legally available for the payment of dividends under Delaware law, dividends shall continue to accrue until such time as such funds are available.

So long as any share of Series B Preferred Stock remains outstanding, no dividend shall be declared or paid on the Series A-2 Preferred Stock and Common Stock or any other shares of Junior Stock (other than a dividend payable solely in Junior Stock), and no Series A-2 Preferred Stock, Common Stock or Junior Stock shall be purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired for consideration by the Corporation, directly or indirectly (other than as a result of a reclassification of Junior Stock for or into other Junior Stock, or the exchange or conversion of one share of Junior Stock for or into another share of Junior Stock during a Dividend Period, unless all accrued and unpaid dividends for all past Dividend Periods, including the latest completed Dividend Period (including, if applicable as provided in Section 2(a) above, dividends on such amount), on all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock have been declared and paid in full (or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been set aside for the benefit of the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock on the applicable record date).

               When dividends are not paid (or declared and a sum sufficient for payment thereof set aside for the benefit of the holders thereof on the applicable record date) on any Dividend Payment Date in full upon the Series B Preferred Stock, all dividends declared on the Series B Preferred Stock shall be declared pro rata so that the respective amounts of such dividends declared shall bear the same ratio to each other as all accrued and unpaid dividends per share on the Series B Preferred Stock (including, if applicable as provided in Section 2(a) above, dividends on such amount) bear to each other.

3.   ­ Voting Rights .

(a)   ­ Class Voting Rights .  The Series B Preferred Stock shall have the following class voting rights.  So long as any shares of the Series B Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least ninety (90%) percent of the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock outstanding at the time, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at a meeting, in which the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock vote separately as a class: (i) amend, alter or repeal the provisions of the Series B Preferred Stock so as to adversely affect any right, preference, privilege or voting power of the Series B Preferred Stock; (ii) effect any distribution with respect to Junior Stock; or (iii) authorize or create, or increase the authorized amount of, any shares of any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation ranking senior or pari-passu to the Series B Preferred Stock with respect to either or both the payment of dividends and/or the distribution of assets on any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.

(b)   ­ General Voti ng Rights .  Except with respect to transactions upon which the Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote separately as a class pursuant to Section 3(a) above, the Series B Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights.

-3-

 

(b)   If in any distribution described in Section 4(a) above the assets of the Corporation or proceeds thereof are not sufficient to pay the Liquidation Preferences (as defined below) in full to all holders of Series B Preferred Stock and all holders of any stock of the Corporation ranking equally with the Series B Preferred Stock as to such distribution, the amounts paid to the holders of Series B Preferred Stock and to the holders of all such other stock shall be paid pro rata in accordance with the respective aggregate Liquidation Preferences of the holders of Series B Preferred Stock and the holders of all such other stock. In any such distribution, the “Liquidation Preference” of any holder of stock of the Corporation shall mean the amount otherwise payable to such holder in such distribution (assuming no limitation on the assets of the Corporation available for such distribution), including an amount equal to any declared but unpaid dividends (and, in the case of any holder of stock, including the Series B Preferred Stock, on which dividends accrue on a cumulative basis, an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid dividends (including, if applicable, dividends on such amount), whether or not declared, as applicable), provided that the Liquidation Preference for any share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be determined in accordance with Section 4(a) above.

(c)   If the Liquidation Preference has been paid in full to all holders of Series B Preferred Stock and all holders of any stock of the Corporation ranking equally with the Series B Preferred Stock as to such distribution, the holders of other stock of the Corporation shall be entitled to receive all remaining assets of the Corporation (or proceeds thereof) according to their respective rights and preferences.

(d)   For purposes of this Section 4, the merger or consolidation of the Corporation with any other corporation or other entity, including a merger or consolidation in which the holders of Series B Preferred Stock receive cash, securities or other property for their shares, or the sale, lease or exchange (for cash, securities or other property) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, shall not constitute a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.

5.   ­ Conversion .  The holder of Series B Preferred Stock shall have no right to exchange or convert such shares into any other securities without the written approval or consent of the Corporation, and the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least ninety (90%) percent of the shares of the issued and outstanding Series B Preferred Stock.

6.   ­ Redemption Rights .

(a)   Optional Redemption . The Corporation, at its option, may redeem, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, the shares of Series B Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, upon notice given as provided in Section 6(c) below, at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) $100,000 per share and (ii) the accrued and unpaid dividends thereon (including, if applicable as provided in Section 2(a) above, dividends on such amount), whether or not declared, to the redemption date, provided that the minimum number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock redeemable at any time is the lesser of (i) one share of Series B Preferred Stock and (ii) the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding. The redemption price for any shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be payable on the redemption date to the holder of such shares against surrender of the certificate(s) evidencing such shares to the Corporation or its agent. Any declared but unpaid dividends payable on a redemption date that occurs subsequent to the Dividend Record Date for a Dividend Period shall not be paid to the holder entitled to receive the redemption price on the redemption date, but rather shall be paid to the holder of record of the redeemed shares on such Dividend Record Date relating to the Dividend Payment Date as provided in Section 2 above.
 

 
-4-

 

(b)   No Sinking Fund . The Series B Preferred Stock will not be subject to any mandatory redemption, sinking fund or other similar provisions. Holders of Series B Preferred Stock will have no right to require redemption of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock; provided , however , in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive for each share of Series B Preferred Stock, out of the assets of the Corporation or proceeds thereof (whether capital or surplus) available for distribution to stockholders of the Corporation, and after satisfaction of all, liabilities and obligations to creditors of the Corporation, before any distribution of such assets or proceeds is made to or set aside for the holders of Series A-2 Preferred Stock or Common Stock and any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to such distribution, payment in full in an amount equal to the sum of (i) $100,000 per share and (ii) the accrued and unpaid dividends thereon (including, if applicable as provided in Section 2(a) above, dividends on such amount), whether or not declared, to the date of payment.

(c)   Notice of Redemption . Notice of every redemption of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the holders of record of the shares to be redeemed at their respective last addresses appearing on the books of the Corporation. Such mailing shall be at least 30 days and not more than 60 days before the date fixed for redemption. Any notice mailed as provided in this Subsection 6(c) shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the holder receives such notice, but failure duly to give such notice by mail, or any defect in such notice or in the mailing thereof, to any holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock designated for redemption shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other shares of Series B Preferred Stock. Each notice of redemption given to a holder shall state: (1) the redemption date; (2) the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed and, if less than all the shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares to be redeemed from such holder; (3) the redemption price; and (4) the place or places where certificates for such shares are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price.

(d)   Partial Redemption . In case of any redemption of part of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, the shares to be redeemed shall be selected either pro rata or in such other manner as the Corporation may determine to be fair and equitable. Subject to the provisions hereof, the Corporation shall have full power and authority to prescribe the terms and conditions upon which shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be redeemed from time to time. If fewer than all the shares represented by any certificate are redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares without charge to the holder thereof.

(e)   Effectiveness of Redemption . If notice of redemption has been duly given and if on or before the redemption date specified in the notice all funds necessary for the redemption have been paid by the Corporation, then, notwithstanding that any certificate for any share so called for redemption has not been surrendered for cancellation, on and after the redemption date, dividends shall cease to accrue on all shares so called for redemption, all shares so called for redemption shall no longer be deemed outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares shall forthwith on such redemption date cease and terminate, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive the amount payable on such redemption without interest.

7.   ­ Vote to Change the Terms of or Issue Preferred Stock or Incur Indebtedness .  The affirmative vote at a meeting duly called for such purpose, or the written consent without a meeting, of the holders of not less than ninety (90%) percent of the issued and outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, shall be required for (i) any change to this Certificate of Designation or the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation which would amend, alter, change or repeal any of the powers, designations, preferences and rights of the Series B Preferred Stock; or (ii) the incurrence by the Corporation of any indebtedness, other than normal course trade payables and other than a commercial lending facility of up to Seven Million ($7,000,000) Dollars.

 
-5-

 
 
8.   ­ Lost or Stolen Certificates .  Upon receipt by the Corporation of evidence satisfactory to the Corporation of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Preferred Stock certificates representing the shares of Series B Preferred Stock, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the holder to the Corporation and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of the Preferred Stock certificate(s), the Corporation shall execute and deliver new Preferred Stock certificate(s) of like tenor and date.

9.   ­ Remedies, Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief .  The remedies provided in this Certificate of Designation shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Certificate of Designation, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), no remedy contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy and nothing herein shall limit a holder’s right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Corporation to comply with the terms of this Certificate of Designation.  The Corporation acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate.  The Corporation therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

10.   ­ Specific Shall Not Limit General; Construction .  No specific provision contained in this Certificate of Designation shall limit or modify any more general provision contained herein.

11.   ­ Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver .  No failure or delay on the part of a holder of Series B Preferred Stock in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed and subscribed this Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Perpetual Series B Preferred Stock and does affirm the foregoing as true this 29 th day of March, 2010.

Section 3.17   Status of Dividends .  The Company covenants and agrees that (i) in no Federal income tax return or claim for refund of Federal income tax or other submission to the Internal Revenue Service (the “ Service ”) will the Company treat the Series B Shares other than as equity capital or the dividends paid thereon other than as dividends paid on equity capital unless required to do so under the Code, applicable regulations or published rulings or announcements, and no deduction with respect to (a) the Series B Shares or (b) any distribution with respect to the Series B Shares shall operate to jeopardize the availability to Purchasers of the dividends received deduction provided by Section 243(a)(1) of the Code or any successor provision, (ii) in no report to shareholders or to any governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company or otherwise will it treat the Series B Shares other than as equity capital or the dividends paid thereon other than as dividends paid on equity capital unless required to do so by a governmental body having jurisdiction over the accounts of the Company or by a change in generally accepted accounting principles required as a result of action by an authoritative accounting standards setting body, and (iii) it will take no action which would result in the dividends paid by the Company on the Series B Shares out of the Company’s current or accumulated earnings and profits being ineligible for the dividends received deduction provided by Section 243(a)(1) of the Code.  The preceding sentence shall not be deemed to prevent the Company from designating the Series B Shares as “Preferred Stock” in its annual and quarterly financial statements in accordance with its prior practice concerning other series of preferred stock of the Company.  In the event that the Purchasers have reasonable cause to believe that dividends paid by the Company on the Series B Shares out of the Company’s current or accumulated earnings and profits will not be treated as eligible for the dividends received deduction provided by Section 243(a)(1) of the Code, or any successor provision, the Company will, at the reasonable request of the Purchasers of 51% of the outstanding Series B Shares, join with the Purchasers in the submission to the Service of a request for a ruling that dividends paid on the Shares will be so eligible for Federal income tax purposes, at the Purchasers’ expense.  In addition, the Company will reasonably cooperate with the Purchasers (at Purchasers’ expense) in any litigation, appeal or other proceeding challenging or contesting any ruling, technical advice, finding or determination that earnings and profits are not eligible for the dividends received deduction provided by Section 243(a)(1) of the Code, or any successor provision to the extent that the position to be taken in any such litigation, appeal, or other proceeding is not contrary to any provision of the Code, applicable regulations or published rulings or announcements.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein contained shall be deemed to preclude the Company from claiming a deduction with respect to such dividends if (i) the Code shall hereafter be amended, or final Treasury regulations thereunder are issued or modified, to provide that dividends on the Series B Shares should not be treated as dividends for Federal income tax purposes or that a deduction with respect to all or a portion of the dividends on the Series B Shares is allowable for Federal income tax purposes, or (ii) in the absence of such an amendment, issuance or modification and after a submission of a request for ruling or technical advice, the Service shall issue a published ruling or advise that dividends on the Series B Shares should not be treated as dividends for Federal income tax purposes.  If the Service specifically determines that the Series B Shares constitute debt, the Company may file protective claims for refund.
 
Section 3.18   Subsequent Financings .
 
(a)   So long as any of the Series B Shares remain outstanding, if, at any time after a Closing Date, the Company enters into any sale, exchange (or other type of distribution to) with any third party of Common Stock or any debt or equity securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into Common Stock (a “ Subsequent Financing ”) on terms more favorable than the terms governing the Series B Shares, then the Purchasers in their sole discretion may exchange the Series B Shares, valued at their Liquidation Preference Amount (as defined in the Certificate of Designation), together with accrued but unpaid dividends (which dividend payments shall be payable, at the sole option of the Purchasers, in cash or in the form of the new securities to be issued in the Subsequent Financing), for the securities issued or to be issued in the Subsequent Financing.  The Company covenants and agrees to promptly notify in writing the Purchasers of the terms and conditions of any such proposed Subsequent Financing.

Section 6.1   General Indemnity .  The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchasers (and their respective directors, officers, managers, partners, members, shareholders, affiliates, agents, successors and assigns) from and against any and all losses, liabilities, deficiencies, costs, damages and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, charges and disbursements) incurred by the Purchasers as a result of any inaccuracy in or breach of the representations, warranties or covenants made by the Company herein.  Each Purchaser severally but not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its directors, officers, affiliates, agents, successors and assigns from and against any and all losses, liabilities, deficiencies, costs, damages and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, charges and disbursements) incurred by the Company as result of any inaccuracy in or breach of the representations, warranties or covenants made by such Purchaser herein.  The maximum aggregate liability of each Purchaser pursuant to its indemnification obligations under this Article VI shall not exceed the portion of the Purchase Price paid by such Purchaser hereunder.
 
Section 6.2   Indemnification Procedure .  Any party entitled to indemnification under this Article VI (an "indemnified party") will give written notice to the indemnifying party of any matter giving rise to a claim for indemnification; provided, that the failure of any party entitled to indemnification hereunder to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Article VI except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice.  In case any such action, proceeding or claim is brought against an indemnified party in respect of which indemnification is sought hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, unless in the reasonable judgment of the indemnifying party a conflict of interest between it and the indemnified party exists with respect to such action, proceeding or claim (in which case the indemnifying party shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel for the indemnified parties), to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party.  In the event that the indemnifying party advises an indemnified party that it will not contest such a claim for indemnification hereunder, or fails, within thirty (30) days of receipt of any indemnification notice to notify, in writing, such person of its election to defend, settle or compromise, at its sole cost and expense, any action, proceeding or claim (or discontinues its defense at any time after it commences such defense), then the indemnified party may, at its option, defend, settle or otherwise compromise or pay such action or claim.  In any event, unless and until the indemnifying party elects in writing to assume and does so assume the defense of any such claim, proceeding or action, the indemnified party's costs and expenses arising out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any such action, claim or proceeding shall be losses subject to indemnification hereunder.  The indemnified party shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the indemnified party which relates to such action or claim.  The indemnifying party shall keep the indemnified party fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto.  If the indemnifying party elects to defend any such action or claim, then the indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in such defense with counsel of its choice at its sole cost and expense.  The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent.  Notwithstanding anything in this Article VI to the contrary, the indemnifying party shall not, without the indemnified party's prior written consent, settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment in respect thereof which imposes any future obligation on the
 
 
-23-

 

indemnified party or which does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim.  The indemnification obligations to defend the indemnified party required by this Article VI shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred, so long as the indemnified party shall refund such moneys if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such party was not entitled to indemnification.  The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (a) any cause of action or similar rights of the indemnified party against the indemnifying party or others, and (b) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.  No indemnifying party will be liable to the indemnified party under this Agreement to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to the indemnified party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants made by such party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents.

(k)   The authorized capital stock of the Company and the shares thereof issued and outstanding as of February 28, 2010 are set forth on Schedule 3(k) attached hereto.  All of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock and any other outstanding security of the Company have been duly and validly authorized, and are fully paid and non-assessable.  As of the date hereof, the Series A-2 Preferred Stock is the only Preferred Stock currently issued and outstanding.  Except as set forth in this Agreement or on Schedule 3(k) attached hereto, as of the Closing Date, no shares of Common Stock are entitled to preemptive rights and there are no registration rights or outstanding options, warrants, scrip, rights to subscribe to, call or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities or rights convertible into, any shares of capital stock of the Company.  The Company is not a party to, and its executive officers have no knowledge of, any agreement restricting the voting or transfer of any shares of the capital stock of the Company.  The Company has furnished or made available to the Holders true and correct copies of the Company’s certificate of incorporation as in effect on the date hereof, and the Company’s bylaws as in effect on the date hereof.

HILLSIDE, N.J., March 30, 2010 – Glowpoint, Inc. (OTCBB: GLOW ), a carrier-grade provider of global managed services for telepresence and video conferencing , today announced the completion of a series of transactions to provide funds to accelerate the Company’s growth plans and improve the Company’s capital structure.

·  
Additional Equity Capital : The Company raised additional equity capital with gross proceeds of approximately $3 million by selling 30 shares of its newly-created Perpetual Series B Preferred Stock at a price per share of $100,000 (“Stated Value”). The Perpetual Series B Preferred Stock is not convertible into common stock, has a liquidation preference equal to its Stated Value, is redeemable by the Company at its option, and is entitled to 4% cumulative dividends commencing January 1, 2013, which increase to 12% starting January 1, 2014.

Exchange of $21.6 million of Series A-2 Preferred Stock : The Company exchanged shares of its Series A-2 Preferred Stock with an aggregate liquidation preference of approximately $21.6 million for (i) 50 shares of its newly-created Perpetual Series B Preferred Stock, which have a liquidation preference of $5 million, and (ii) 15,452,000 shares of common stock.
 
“As a result of this transaction, we have raised additional equity capital to accelerate our growth plans, while at the same time  reducing the aggregate liquidation preference of our preferred stock from about $34 million to about $20.2 million,” said Dave Robinson, Glowpoint’s Co-Chief Executive Officer.  “This transaction demonstrates the strong support of our investors and their belief in the Company’s vision for the tremendous opportunity that lies ahead.  We believe the Company is now very well positioned from a fundamental business perspective and capital markets perspective. The prospects of tapping the credit markets have, for the first time in many years, improved dramatically, potentially providing additional financial flexibility to finance growth while minimizing shareholder dilution.”
