This Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 4”) amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 28, 2022, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on April 26, 2022, Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on August 12, 2022, and Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on August 24, 2022 (together with Amendment No. 4, this “statement”) relating to the Common Stock of the Company, the principal executive offices of which are located at 224 Airport Parkway, Suite 550, San Jose, California 95110. Only those items that are hereby reported are amended; all other items reported in the original Schedule 13D, as amended, remain unchanged. Information given in response to each item shall be deemed incorporated by reference in all other items, as applicable. Capitalized terms not defined in this Amendment have the meanings ascribed to them in the original Schedule 13D, as amended.

Item 3 of the original Schedule 13D, as amended, is hereby amended to add the following language:

On June 1, 2023, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Term Loan Amendment”) to the Term Loan Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of August 5, 2021 (as the same has been and may be further amended, modified, supplemented, renewed, restated or replaced from time to time, the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”), among the Company, Quantum LTO Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, the other borrowers and guarantors from time to time party thereto, the lenders from time to time party thereto, and Blue Torch Finance LLC, as disbursing agent and collateral agent for such lenders.

In connection with the Term Loan Amendment, on June 1, 2023, the Company issued to the lender of the 2023 Term Loan under the Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “Initial Warrantholder”) a warrant (the “2023 Term Loan Warrant”) to purchase an aggregate of 1,250,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. The exercise price and the number of shares underlying the 2023 Term Loan Warrant are subject to adjustment in the event of specified events, including dilutive issuances at a price lower than the exercise price of the 2023 Term Loan Warrant, a subdivision or combination of the Common Stock, a reclassification of the Common Stock or specified dividend payments. The 2023 Term Loan Warrant is exercisable until June 1, 2033. Upon exercise, the aggregate exercise price may be paid, at each warrant holder’s election, in cash or on a net issuance basis, based upon the fair market value of the Common Stock at the time of exercise. On June 2, 2023, the Initial Warrantholder assigned the 2023 Term Loan Warrant to the Reporting Person, its affiliate, at which time the original 2023 Term Loan Warrant was cancelled and a substantially identical replacement 2023 Term Loan Warrant was issued to the Reporting Person.

The foregoing description of the 2023 Term Loan Warrant does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the 2023 Term Loan Warrant, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.8 to this Statement and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 6 of the original Schedule 13D, as amended, is hereby amended to add the following language:

The information set forth in Items 3 and 4 of this Statement is incorporated herein by reference.

In connection with the Term Loan Amendment, on June 1, 2023, the Company, the Initial Warrantholder and the holders of the warrants previously issued to certain lenders under the Term Loan Credit Agreement (or affiliates thereof) on December 27, 2018 and June 16, 2020 (the “Existing Term Loan Warrants” and, together with the 2023 Term Loan Warrant, the “Term Loan Warrants”) entered into an amendment and joinder (the “Registration Rights Agreement Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of June 16, 2020, by and among the Company and the holders of the Existing Term Loan Warrants (as amended by the Registration Rights Agreement Amendment, the “Registration Rights Agreement”). The Registration Rights Agreement Amendment, among other things, amends the Registration Rights Agreement to (a) join the Initial Warrantholder as a party to the Registration Rights Agreement, and (b) grant certain registration rights for the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the 2023 Term Loan Warrant, consistent with the registration rights granted to the holders of the Existing Term Loan Warrants, including (i) the ability of a holder to request that the Company file a Form S-1 registration statement with respect to at least 40% of the registrable securities held by such holder as of the issuance date of the applicable Term Loan Warrants on or after June 16, 2020, (ii) the ability of a holder to request that the Company file a Form S-3 registration statement with respect to outstanding registrable securities if at any time the Company is eligible to use a Form S-3 registration statement, and (iii) customary piggyback registration rights, subject to certain customary limitations. On June 2, 2023, in connection with the assignment of the 2023 Term Loan Warrant, the Initial Warrantholder assigned its rights and obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement to the Reporting Person, and the Reporting Person assumed those rights and obligations and joined as a party to the Registration Rights Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Registration Rights Agreement Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.9 to this Statement and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 7 of the original Schedule 13D, as amended, is hereby amended to add the following language:
