Ladies and Gentlemen:

Inseego Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), proposes, subject to the terms and conditions stated herein, to sell to the Underwriters named in Schedule I hereto (the “Underwriters”), for whom Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated is acting as representative (the “Representative” or “you”), the respective principal amounts set forth in said Schedule I of $100,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 3.25% Convertible Notes due 2025 (the “Firm Securities”) and, at the election of the Underwriters solely to cover over-allotments, up to $15,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 3.25% Convertible Notes due 2025 (the “Optional Securities”). To the extent there are no additional underwriters listed on Schedule I, the term “Representative” as used herein shall mean you, as Underwriter, and the term “Underwriters” shall mean either the singular or the plural, as the context requires. The Firm Securities and the Optional Securities that the Underwriters elect to purchase pursuant to Section 2 hereof are herein collectively called the “Securities.” The Securities will be convertible into cash, shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (including related rights to purchase Series D Preferred Stock, the “Stock”), or a combination of cash and shares of Stock (any shares of Stock issuable upon conversion of the Securities, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any additional shares deliverable upon conversion in connection with a “make-whole fundamental change,” are referred to as the “Underlying Securities”). The Securities are to be issued pursuant to an indenture to be dated on or about the First Time of Delivery (as defined below) (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), which will be substantially in the form filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement (as defined below), as supplemented and/or amended by a supplemental indenture to be dated on or about the First Time of Delivery, by and between the Company and the Trustee (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, as supplemented and/or amended, the “Indenture”). This Agreement, the Indenture and the Securities are collectively called the “Transaction Documents.”

The Company understands that the Underwriters propose to make a public offering of the Securities as soon as you deem advisable after this Agreement has been executed and delivered and the Indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “Trust Indenture Act”).

The Company has prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-238057), which contains a base prospectus (the “Base Prospectus”), to be used in connection with the public offering and sale of debt securities, including the Securities, and other securities of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “Securities Act”), in accordance with Rule 415 under the Securities Act. Such registration statement, including the financial statements, exhibits and schedules thereto, in the form in which it became effective under the Securities Act pursuant to Rule 462(e) promulgated thereunder, including any required information deemed to be a part thereof at the time of effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430B under the Securities Act, is called the “Registration Statement.” The term “Prospectus” shall mean the final prospectus supplement relating to the Securities, together with the Base Prospectus, that is first filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act after the Applicable Time (as defined in Section 1(iii) hereof). The term “Preliminary Prospectus” shall mean any preliminary prospectus supplement relating to the


Securities, together with the Base Prospectus, that is first filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act. Any reference herein to the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents that are incorporated by reference therein or are deemed to be incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act prior to the Applicable Time. All references in this Agreement to the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, or any amendments or supplements to any of the foregoing, shall include any copy thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (“EDGAR”).

All references in this Agreement to financial statements and schedules and other information which is “contained,” “included” or “stated” (or other references of like import) in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the Preliminary Prospectus shall be deemed to mean and include all such financial statements and schedules and other information which is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the Preliminary Prospectus, as the case may be, prior to the Applicable Time; and all references in this Agreement to amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the Preliminary Prospectus shall be deemed to include the filing of any document under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “Exchange Act”), which is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the Preliminary Prospectus, as the case may be, after the Applicable Time.

9. (a) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Underwriter may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any “road show” (as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act) not constituting an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (a “Non-Prospectus Road Show”), any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication or any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and will reimburse each Underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, Written Testing-the-Waters Communication or Non-Prospectus Road Show, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through the Representative expressly for use therein, it being understood that the only information furnished to the Company for such use is the information contained in the first sentence of the fourteenth paragraph, the last sentence of the fifteenth paragraph and the sixteenth paragraph under the caption “Underwriting” in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus and the concession figure appearing in the fourth paragraph in the Prospectus (the “Underwriter Information”).

 

17


(b) Each Underwriter, severally but not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors and each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, Written Testing-the-Waters Communication or Non-Prospectus Road Show, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, Written Testing-the-Waters Communication or Non-Prospectus Road Show, in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriter Information; and will reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party under such subsection, except to the extent that the indemnifying party has been materially prejudiced by such failure. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under subsection (c) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the net proceeds from the offering (net of underwriting discounts and commissions but before deducting any other expenses) (the “Net Proceeds”) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and

 

18


opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.

(e) The obligations of the Company under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act and each affiliate of any Underwriter within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act, including, without limitation, the officers, directors, partners and members of each such Underwriter and its broker-dealer affiliates; and the obligations of the Underwriters under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the respective Underwriters may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company and to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act.

10. (a) If any Underwriter shall default in its obligation to purchase the Securities which it has agreed to purchase hereunder at a Time of Delivery, you may in your discretion arrange for you or another party or other parties to purchase such Securities on the terms contained herein. If within thirty-six hours after such default by any Underwriter you do not arrange for the purchase of such Securities, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period of thirty-six hours within which to procure another party or other parties satisfactory to you to purchase such Securities on such terms. In the event that, within the respective prescribed periods, you notify the Company that you have so arranged for the purchase of such Securities, or the Company notifies you that it has so arranged for the purchase of such Securities, you or the Company shall have the right to postpone such Time of Delivery for a period of not more than seven days, in order to effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or in any other documents or arrangements, and the Company agrees to file promptly any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus which in your opinion may thereby be made necessary. The term “Underwriter” as used in this Agreement shall include any person substituted under this Section with like effect as if such person had originally been a party to this Agreement with respect to such Securities.

(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by you and the Company as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities which remains unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities to be purchased at such Time of Delivery, then the Company shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the aggregate principal amount of Securities which such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder at such Time of Delivery and, in addition, to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase its pro rata share (based on the aggregate principal amount of Securities which such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Securities of such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by you and the Company as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities which remains unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities to be purchased at such Time of Delivery, or if the Company shall not exercise the right described in subsection (b) above to require non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters, then this Agreement (or, with respect to the Second Time of Delivery, the obligations of the

 

19


Underwriters to purchase and of the Company to sell the Optional Securities) shall thereupon terminate, without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company, except for the expenses to be borne by the Company and the Underwriters as provided in Section 7 hereof and the indemnity and contribution agreements in Section 9 hereof; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

11. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the several Underwriters, as set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any controlling person of any Underwriter, or the Company, or any officer or director or controlling person of the Company, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Securities.

12. If this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 10 hereof, the Company shall not then be under any liability to any Underwriter except as provided in Sections 7 and 9 hereof; but, if for any other reason (other than the failure of the condition set forth in Section 8(f)(i), (iii), (iv) or (v)), any Securities are not delivered by or on behalf of the Company as provided herein, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters through you for all out-of-pocket expenses approved in writing by you, including fees and disbursements of counsel, reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in making preparations for the purchase, sale and delivery of the Securities not so delivered, but the Company shall then be under no further liability to any Underwriter except as provided in Sections 7 and 9 hereof.

13. In all dealings hereunder, you shall act on behalf of each of the Underwriters, the parties hereto shall be entitled to act and rely upon any statement, request, notice or agreement on behalf of any Underwriter made or given by the Representative and any action under this Agreement taken by the Representative will be binding upon all the Underwriters.

All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing, and if to the Underwriters shall be delivered or sent by mail or facsimile transmission to the Representative in care of Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated, One Montgomery Street, Suite 3700, San Francisco, CA 94104, Attn: Syndicate Department, Facsimile: (415) 364-2799; and if to the Company shall be delivered or sent by mail or facsimile transmission to the address of the Company set forth on the cover of the Registration Statement, Attn: Secretary, Facsimile: (858) 408-4345 (with copies to those parties specified thereon). Any such statements, requests, notices or agreements shall take effect upon receipt thereof.

In accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), the Underwriters are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies their respective clients, including the Company, which information may include the name and address of their respective clients, as well as other information that will allow the Underwriters to properly identify their respective clients.

14. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure solely to the benefit of, the Underwriters, the Company and, to the extent provided in Sections 9 and 11 hereof, the officers and directors of the Company and each person who controls the Company or any Underwriter, and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and no other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement. No purchaser of any of the Securities from any Underwriter shall be deemed a successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase.

15. Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement. As used herein, the term “business day” shall mean any day when the Commission’s office in Washington, D.C. is open for business and “New York Business Day” shall mean each Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday which is not a day on which banking institutions in New York City are generally authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close.

16. The Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) the purchase and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company, on the one hand, and the several Underwriters, on the other, (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction each Underwriter is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Company, (iii) no Underwriter has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company with respect to the offering contemplated

 

20


hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or is currently advising the Company on other matters) or any other obligation to the Company except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement and (iv) the Company has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate. The Company agrees that it will not claim that the Underwriters, or any of them, has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to it, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

17. The Company acknowledges that the Underwriters’ research analysts and research departments are required to be independent from their respective investment banking divisions and are subject to certain regulations and internal policies, and that such Underwriters’ research analysts may hold views and make statements or investment recommendations and/or publish research reports with respect to the Company and/or the offering that differ from the views of their respective investment banking divisions. The Company hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that the Company may have against the Underwriters with respect to any conflict of interest that may arise from the fact that the views expressed by their independent research analysts and research departments may be different from or inconsistent with the views or advice communicated to the Company by such Underwriters’ investment banking divisions. The Company acknowledges that each of the Underwriters is a full service securities firm and as such from time to time, subject to applicable securities laws, may effect transactions for its own account or the account of its customers and hold long or short positions in debt or equity securities of the companies that may be the subject of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

18. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between or among the Company and the Underwriters, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

19. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY MATTERS RELATED TO THIS TRANSACTION SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF ANY LAW OTHER THAN THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. The Company agrees that any suit or proceeding arising in respect of this Agreement or your engagement will be tried exclusively in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York or, if that court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, in any state court located in The City and County of New York and the Company agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of, and to venue in, such courts.

20. The Company and each of the Underwriters hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

21. This Agreement may be executed by any one or more of the parties hereto in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

22. If any term or other provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby, and there shall be deemed substituted for the provision at issue a valid, legal and enforceable provision as similar as possible to the provision at issue.

23. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the provisions of this Agreement may be amended or waived at any time only by the written agreement of the parties hereto. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any such holders of any provision or condition of this Agreement must be made in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in writing. The failure of any party hereto to enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provision, nor in any way to affect the validity of this Agreement or any part hereof or the right of any party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.

24. Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes.

(i) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(ii) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

Each of the Participating Stockholders has agreed to exchange the 2022 Notes that they currently hold (representing an aggregate of $44,816,000 principal amount of 2022 Notes) for an aggregate of approximately $32.1 million in cash and $80,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.25% convertible senior notes due 2025 in concurrent private exchange transactions that are expected to close immediately following this offering of notes (the “Participating Exchange Transactions”). We refer to any of our 3.25% convertible senior notes due 2025 issued to the Participating Stockholders in the Private Exchange Transactions as the “Participating Stockholder notes.” The Participating Stockholder notes will constitute part of the same series as the notes offered hereby, may initially be issued in certificated form, will initially not be fungible with the notes offered hereby (and will initially have a separate CUSIP number) and will be subject to certain transfer restrictions that are not applicable to the notes offered hereby. In particular, the Participating Stockholder notes will not become freely transferable until twelve months following their sale by the Participating Stockholders to a non-affiliate of ours unless sold in a transaction registered under the Securities Act or pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act. This offering is not conditioned upon the closing of the Private Exchange Transactions, but the Private Exchange Transactions are conditioned upon the closing of this offering. We will not receive any cash proceeds from the Participating Stockholders in connection with the Private Exchange Transactions.

 

  Pursuant to the terms of a registration rights agreement to be entered into between us and the Participating Stockholders, we will agree to file a registration statement with the SEC, promptly following the closing date of the Private Exchange Transactions, in order to effect a registration for resale by the Participating Stockholders of the Participating Stockholder notes and any shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Participating Stockholder notes. We expect that notes sold under such registration statement will be fungible with the notes offered hereby. Until the Participating Stockholder notes become freely tradeable, we expect the Participating Stockholder notes to trade, if at all, separately from the notes offered hereby, and we cannot assure you that the Participating Stockholder notes will ever trade with the notes offered hereby.

Use of Proceeds

We estimate that the net proceeds to us from this offering will be approximately $97.0 million (or approximately $111.6 million if the underwriter fully exercises its over-allotment option), after deducting the underwriter’s discounts and commissions and our estimated offering expenses. We intend to use approximately $49.3 million of the net proceeds from this offering to repay in full and terminate our existing Credit Agreement. Such amount includes the repayment of $47.5 million in outstanding principal, approximately $500,000 in interest accrued thereon, the Prepayment Fee of $760,000 and the Exit Fee of $570,000.

 

  In addition, we intend to use approximately $2.3 million of the net proceeds from this offering to repurchase the Series E Preferred Stock we issued to South Ocean Funding, LLC, and approximately $32.1 million of the net proceeds from this offering to pay the aggregate cash amount due to the Participating Stockholders under the Private Exchange Transactions. We intend to use the remainder of the net proceeds for general corporate purposes. Pending application of the net proceeds as described above, we may invest the net proceeds in interest-bearing investment grade securities.

Interest Make-Whole Payment

If the last reported sale price of our common stock for each of the five trading days immediately preceding a conversion date is greater than or equal to $10.51 (which price is subject to adjustment in a manner directly inverse to the manner in which, but otherwise at the same time and for the same events for which, the conversion rate is required to be adjusted pursuant to the provisions described in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement under the caption “Description of Notes—Conversion Rate Adjustments—Generally”), we will, in addition to the other consideration payable or deliverable in connection with any conversion of Notes, make an interest make-whole payment to the converting holder equal to the sum of the present values of the scheduled payments of interest that would have been made on the Notes to be converted had such Notes remained outstanding from the conversion date through the earlier of (i) the date that is three years after the conversion date and (ii) the maturity date if the Notes had not been so converted or otherwise repurchased.

 

  If a conversion date occurs after the close of business on a regular record date for the payment of interest but prior to the open of business on the interest payment date corresponding to such regular record date, we will not pay accrued interest to any converting holder and will instead pay the full amount of the relevant interest payment on such interest payment date to the holder of record on such regular record date. In such case, the interest make-whole payment to such converting holders will equal the present value of all remaining interest payments, starting with the next interest payment date for which interest has not been provided for until the earlier of (i) the date that is three years after the conversion date and (ii) the maturity date if the Notes had not been so converted or otherwise repurchased.

 

  The present values will be computed using a discount rate equal to 1.0% by a U.S. nationally recognized independent investment banking firm, which may be the underwriter of this offering, retained by us for this purpose.

 

  We will satisfy our obligation to pay any interest make-whole payment, at our election, in cash or shares of our common stock (together with cash in lieu of fractional shares) as described in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement under the caption “Description of Notes—Interest Make-Whole Payment.”

  If we pay an interest make-whole payment in shares of our common stock, then the number of shares of common stock (together with cash in lieu of any fractional share) a holder will receive will be that number of shares that have a value equal to the amount of the interest make-whole payment to be paid to such holder in shares, divided by the product of the simple average of the daily VWAP of our common stock for the five VWAP trading days immediately preceding the conversion date; provided, that in no event will the effective conversion price of the Notes, after giving effect to any interest make-whole payment (whether paid in cash or shares of our common stock (together with cash in lieu of any fractional share)), be less than $10.51, which price is subject to adjustment in a manner directly inverse to the manner in which, but otherwise at the same time and for the same events for which, the conversion rate is required to be adjusted pursuant to the provisions described in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement under the caption “Description of Notes—Conversion Rate Adjustments—Generally”.

 

  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if in connection with any conversion the conversion rate is adjusted as described in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement under the caption “Description of Notes—Conversion Rights—Increase to Conversion Rate upon Conversion upon a Make-Whole Fundamental Change,” then such holder will not receive the interest make-whole payment with respect to such Note.

 

Increase to Conversion Rate in Connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change

If a “make-whole fundamental change” (as defined in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement) occurs and the conversion date for the conversion of a Note occurs during the related make-whole fundamental change conversion period, then, subject to the provisions described in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement under the caption “Description of Notes—Conversion Rights—Increase in Conversion Rate in Connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change,” the conversion rate applicable to such conversion will be increased by a number of shares (the “additional shares”) set forth in the table below corresponding (after interpolation, as described below) to the make-whole fundamental change effective date and the stock price of such make-whole fundamental change:

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event will the conversion rate be increased to an amount that exceeds 95.1474 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which amount is subject to adjustment in the same manner as, and at the same time and for the same events for which, the conversion rate is required to be adjusted pursuant to the provisions described in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement under the caption “Description of Notes—Conversion Rights—Conversion Rate Adjustments—Generally.”

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned refers to the proposed Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) between Inseego Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated (the “Representative”), as representative of the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”).

As used herein, “immediate family member” shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 16a-1(e) under the Exchange Act.

The foregoing restrictions shall not apply to: (a) bona fide gifts to any immediate family member of the undersigned or to a trust the beneficiaries of which are exclusively the undersigned or immediate family members of the undersigned; (b) transfers by will or intestate succession upon the death of the undersigned; (c) bona fide gifts to charity or educational institutions; (d) transfers by operation of law, such as pursuant to a qualified domestic order or as required by a divorce settlement; provided that, in the case of any transfer, distribution or transaction pursuant to clauses (a), (b), (c) or (d) above, (i) each resulting transferee of the Company’s securities executes and delivers to the Representative an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Representative certifying that such transferee is bound by the terms of this Agreement as if it had been an original party hereto, (ii) to the extent any interest in the Company’s securities is retained by the undersigned (or such immediate family member), such securities shall remain subject to
