Invention Assignment and Royalty Agreement (the “Royalty Agreement”)
On May 28, 2024, Catheter Precision, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into the Royalty Agreement with Auston Locke, which further memorializes the terms of our agreement with Mr. Locke with respect to the Company’s LockeT device, of which Mr. Locke is a co-inventor, and extends the term of that agreement as indicated below.
Other than the extension of the term, the material terms of our agreement with Mr. Locke remain unchanged, to wit: we have agreed to pay Mr. Locke a royalty fee of 5% on net sales (as defined in the agreement) of our LockeT device, until a cumulative total of $1 million in royalties has been paid to Mr. Locke. Thereafter, if a patent for the LockeT device is obtained from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, we will pay a royalty fee of 2% of net sales, until total royalties paid to Mr. Locke reaches $10 million. However, no further royalty payments will be due after December 31, 2033, or after the expiration, cancelation or abandonment of the patents that are the subject of the agreement, whichever is earlier.
A copy of the Royalty Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
The disclosure below regarding the 8% Short Term Promissory Note due August 30, 2024, is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
8% Short Term Promissory Note due August 30, 2024 (the “Note”)
On May 30, 2024, David A. Jenkins, Executive Chair and Chief Executive Officer, loaned $500,000 to the Company in exchange for the Note. The Note has a maturity date of August 30, 2024, and bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum.
The Note and the debt evidenced thereby, including all principal and interest, accelerate and become immediately due and payable upon the occurrence of certain customary events of default, including failure to pay amounts owing when due, material breach of representations or warranties by us (unless waived by Mr. Jenkins or cured within 10 days following notice) and/or certain events involving a discontinuation of our business or certain types of proceedings involving insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership and the like.
In addition to his roles as a director and officer of the Company, Mr. Jenkins and his affiliates beneficially own over 10% of the common stock of the Company, Series X Preferred convertible into over 8 million shares of Company common stock (subject to certain conditions), stock options issued by the Company, and the rights to receive royalties on sales of our LockeT device equal to an aggregate 11.77% of net sales, as defined in the relevant agreements. Mr. Jenkins is a co-inventor of certain of our products and has previously assigned his rights in relation to those inventions to us. In addition, Missiaen Huck, Mr. Jenkins’ adult daughter, serves as our non-executive chief operating officer. For additional information see also Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions in our proxy statement filed May 16, 2024.

6. Representations and Warranties of the Holder. Holder hereby represents and warrants to the Company that:
(a) Authorization. The Holder has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement. This Note, when executed and delivered by the Holder, will constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of the Holder, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies.
(b) Purchase for Own Account. This Note will be acquired for investment for the Holder’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the public resale or distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the Holder has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same.
2 |
(c) Disclosure of Information. The Holder has received or has had full access to all the information the Holder considers necessary or appropriate to make an informed investment decision with respect to this Note. The Holder further has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Note and to obtain additional information (to the extent the Company possessed such information or could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense) necessary to verify any information furnished to the Holder or to which the Holder had access.
(d) Investment Experience. The Holder understands that the purchase of this Note involves substantial risk. The Holder (i) has experience as an investor in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that the Holder is able to fend for himself, can bear the economic risk of the Holder’s investment in the Note and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that the Holder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of this investment in the Note and protecting its own interests in connection with this investment and/or (ii) has a preexisting personal or business relationship with the Company and its managers and members of a nature and duration that enables the Holder to be aware of the character, business acumen and financial circumstances of such persons.

(e) Accredited Investor Status. The Holder is (a) an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and (b) a sophisticated investor with adequate investment experience and opportunities to have discussions concerning the Company’s business, management, financial affairs and the terms and conditions of the offering of the Note with the Company’s management.
(f) Restricted Securities. The Holder understands that the Note is a restricted security under the Securities Act and Rule 144 promulgated thereunder inasmuch as it was acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering, and that under the Securities Act and applicable regulations thereunder such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, the Holder is familiar with Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act. The Holder understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the Note.
(g) No Solicitation. At no time was the Holder presented with or solicited by any publicly issued or circulated newspaper, mail, radio, television or other form of general advertising or solicitation in connection with the offer, sale and purchase of the Securities.
7. Events of Default.
(a) Events of Default. Each of the following defaults shall constitute an “Event of Default” if such default is not cured during such period of time as is specified below (or if no period of time is specified below, immediately upon such default) after the Holder has given the Company written notice of such default; provided, however, that no such notice shall be required for an Event of Default pursuant to Sections 7(a)(i), 7(a)(iii) and 7(a)(iv) below:
3 |
(i) the failure of the Company to pay principal, interest or other amounts owing, if any, under this Note when due;

(iii) if the Company shall (1) make a determination to discontinue its business, (2) apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or liquidator of it or any of its property, (3) admit in writing its inability to pay its debts, (4) make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (5) file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, or a petition or an answer seeking reorganization or an arrangement with creditors, or to take advantage of any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, readjustment of debt, dissolution or liquidation laws or statutes, or an answer admitting the material allegations of a petition filed against it in any proceeding under any such law; or
(iv) if there shall be filed against the Company an involuntary petition seeking reorganization of the Company or the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or liquidator of the Company or a substantial part of its assets, or an involuntary petition under any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency law of any jurisdiction, whether now or hereafter in effect (any of the foregoing petitions being hereinafter referred to as an “Involuntary Petition”) and such Involuntary Petition shall not have been dismissed within ninety (90) days after it was filed.
(b) Acceleration Upon Event of Default. Upon each and every such Event of Default pursuant to Sections 7(a)(i) and 7(a)(ii) (subject to cure), this Note and any and all indebtedness of the Company to the Holder under this Note shall immediately become due and payable, and upon an Event of Default pursuant to each of the other subsections under Section 7(a) above, and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such Event of Default, at the election of the Holder, this Note and any and all indebtedness of the Company to Holder under this Note shall immediately become due and payable both as to principal and interest (including any accrued and unpaid interest thereon), without presentment, demand, or protest, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything contained herein or other evidence of such indebtedness to the contrary notwithstanding.
(c) Other Remedies. In case any one or more Events of Default shall occur and be continuing, whether or not any acceleration of the Note shall have occurred, the Holder may, among other things, proceed to protect and enforce Holder’s rights by an action at law, suit in equity or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein, or for an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or thereof or in and of the exercise of any power granted hereby or thereby or by law. The Holder shall have a full right of offset for any amounts due upon such an Event of Default against any amounts payable by the Holder to the Company. No right conferred upon the Holder hereby shall be exclusive of any other right referred to herein or therein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

(c) No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to the Holder, upon any breach or default of the Company under this Note, shall impair any such right, power or remedy of the Holder nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of any similar breach of default thereafter occurring or any waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. The acceptance at any time by the Holder of any past-due amount shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the right to require prompt payment when due of any other amounts then or thereafter due and payable. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of the Holder of any breach of default under this Note or any waiver on the part of the Holder of any provisions or conditions of this Note, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing.

A waiver with reference to one event shall not be construed as continuing or as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy as to a subsequent event. No delay or omission of the Holder to exercise any right, whether before or after a default hereunder, shall impair any such right or shall be construed to be a waiver of any right or default, and the acceptance at any time by the Holder of any past-due amount shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the right to require prompt payment when due of any other amounts then or thereafter due and payable.
(h) Each party hereto shall be responsible for the fees and disbursements of attorneys, accountants, consultants and any other representative or agent retained by such party in regard to this Agreement.
(i) Any term of this Note may be amended, and the observance of any term of this Note may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.
