Item 1.01. Entry Into Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Securities Purchase Agreement with Mill City Ventures III, Ltd.

 

On February 18, 2015, Creative Realities, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Mill City Ventures III, Ltd. (“Mill City”), pursuant to which it offered and sold a secured convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $1,000,000 and a five-year warrant to purchase up to 1,515,152 shares of the Company’s common stock at a per-share price of $0.38, in a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933.

 

Creative Realities, LLC, Wireless Ronin Technologies Canada, Inc., and Broadcast International, Inc., the Company’s principal subsidiaries, are co-makers with the Company of the secured convertible promissory note. Obligations under the secured convertible promissory note are secured by a grant of collateral security in the accounts receivable and related proceeds of all co-makers pursuant to the terms of a security agreement.

 

The secured convertible promissory note bears interest at the annual rate of 12%, and matures on August 18, 2016. At any time prior to the maturity date, Mill City may convert the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest at a conversion rate of $0.33 per share, as adjusted for stock splits and similar adjustments. Upon the consummation of a change in control transaction of the Company or of an offering of securities of the Company in which the gross proceeds to be received by the Company equal, when aggregated with all prior financings involving the sale of securities of the Company from and after February 18, 2015 (but exclusive of the amounts borrowed under the Mill City secured convertible promissory note), at least $3.5 million, Mill City may elect to convert the secured convertible promissory note into shares of common stock of the Company or elect repayment. The Company may prepay the secured convertible promissory note at any time, provided any principal amount prepaid must be accompanied by the payment of minimum amount of interest that, when aggregated with earlier payments of interest, equals at least 365 days of interest thereon. The secured convertible promissory note contains other customary terms.

 

The foregoing disclosure is qualified by the forms of securities purchase agreement, secured convertible promissory note, warrant and security agreement attached this report as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4, respectively.

 

Sale of Series A Preferred Stock and Related Warrants.

 

Also on February 18, 2015, the Company entered into Subscription Agreements, pursuant to which Don Harris, a director of the Company, and Paul Price, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and a director, subscribed for shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and related warrants in the aggregate amount of $90,000, and Slipstream Communications, LLC surrendered a Promissory Note of the Company dated January 28, 2015 and in the principal amount of $175,000, and converted such entire principal amount, plus accrued but unpaid interest thereon, into Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and related warrants. The warrants contain a cashless exercise feature and have a term of five years. The warrants are exercisable at a price of $0.50 per common share, as adjusted for stock splits, dilutive issuances and similar adjustments. As a result of the issuance of the convertible promissory note issued to Mill City set forth above, the exercise price is currently $0.49 per common share.

 

The Company offered the securities set forth in this Item 1.01 in reliance on the statutory exemptions from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, including Rule 506 thereunder. The Company relied on this exemption based on the fact that all investors were accredited investors. Such securities offer and subscription for securities in the private placement were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, and therefore may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. The disclosure about the private placement contained in this report does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities of the Company, and is made only as required under applicable rules for filing current reports with the SEC, and as permitted under Rule 135c of the Securities Act of 1933.

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

 

The disclosures in Item 1.01 regarding the Company’s sale of a secured convertible promissory note are hereby incorporated into this Item. The Company’s obligations under the promissory note may be accelerated upon customary events, such as payment defaults and events of bankruptcy.

 

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

The disclosures in Item 1.01 regarding the Company’s issuance of a secured convertible promissory note and related warrant to purchase Company common stock, and regarding the subscription for Series A Preferred Stock and related warrants to purchase common stock, are hereby incorporated into this Item.

There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company or of any Subsidiary know of no basis for any such claim.

 

The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the representations contained in Section 3.1 shall not affect the Company’s right to rely on such Purchaser’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any representations and warranties contained in any other Transaction Document or any other document or instrument executed or delivered in connection with this Agreement or the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby.

 

3.2 Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser . The Purchaser hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date to the Company as follows (unless as of a specific date therein):

The Purchaser is an entity duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation with full right, corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and performance by the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, as applicable, on the part of the Purchaser. Each Transaction Document to which it is a party has been duly executed by the Purchaser, and when delivered by such Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except: (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.

 

(b) Understandings or Arrangements . The Purchaser is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business. The Purchaser understands that the Note, Warrants and Underlying Shares are “restricted securities” and will not have been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, and represents that it is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Securities or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law.

 

10
 

 

(c) Opportunity to Obtain Information . The Purchaser acknowledges that representatives of the Company have made available to the Purchaser the opportunity to review the books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries and to ask questions of and receive answers from such representatives concerning the business and affairs of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

 

(d) Purchaser Status . At the time the Purchaser was offered the Securities, it was, and as of the date hereof it is, and on each date on which it converts any portion of the Note or exercises any Warrants, it will be an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act.

 

(e) Experience of Such Purchaser . The Purchaser has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Securities, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. The Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

 

(f) General Solicitation . The Purchaser is not purchasing the Securities as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Securities published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement.

 

(g) Certain Transactions and Confidentiality . Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, the Purchaser has not, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Purchaser, directly or indirectly executed any purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of the securities of the Company during the period commencing as of the time that such Purchaser first received a term sheet (written or oral) from the Company or any other Person representing the Company setting forth the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder and ending immediately prior to the execution hereof. Other than to other Persons party to this Agreement, the Purchaser has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction).

 

The Company acknowledges and agrees that the representations contained in Section 3.2 shall not affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any representations and warranties contained in any other Transaction Document or any other document or instrument executed and/or delivered in connection with this Agreement or the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby.

If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Party. Any Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel, or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel in the aggregate (i.e., for all Purchaser Parties). The Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement (y) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, or (z) to the extent, but only to the extent, that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents.

In connection with any transfer of any Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, or to the Company, the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company (the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by such transferor), the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall have the rights and obligations of a Purchaser under this Agreement.

 

(b) The Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Agreement, of a legend on any of the Note, Warrants and Underlying Shares in the following form:

Actions

 

Company vs. HMN, Inc.

 

In August 2014, we initiated a breach-of-contract lawsuit against a customer and certain parties related to that customer for failure to pay. The defendants have answered and asserted counterclaims. In the event we are unable to reach a negotiated settlement with the defendants, we intend to litigate our claims and contest the defendants’ counterclaims. At this time, we do not believe this matter is likely to have a material and adverse impact on the Company.

 

Company vs. Core Technologies, Inc.

 

In November 2014, a former vendor alleging our failure to pay outstanding invoices initiated a breach-of-contract lawsuit against us. We have answered and asserted certain counterclaims. In the event we are unable to reach a negotiated settlement with the vendor, we intend to litigate our counterclaims and contest those claims made against us. At this time, we do not believe this matter is likely to have a material and adverse impact on the Company.

SECURED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

 

$1,000,000.00 February 18, 2015

 

For Value Received , Creative Realities, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (the “ Company ”), Creative Realities, Inc., a Utah corporation, Creative Realities, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Wireless Ronin Technologies Canada, Inc., a Canada corporation (collectively, “ Makers ”), hereby jointly and severally promise to pay to the order of Mill City Ventures III, Ltd., or its successors, heirs or assigns (“ Holder ”), in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal sum of $1,000,000, together with interest on the outstanding principal amount under this Secured Convertible Promissory Note (this “ Note ”) outstanding from time to time. This Note is being issued by Maker in connection with the execution and delivery of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “ Purchase Agreement ”) dated the date hereof by and between Maker and Holder. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

 

1. Interest . Unless adjusted under Section 6.3, the interest on the outstanding principal amount of this Note shall accrue from the date hereof until payment in full at an annual rate equal to twelve percent (12%) (the “ Interest Rate ”), be payable monthly in arrears within five Business Days of the end of each calendar month after the date hereof (and commencing on March 6, 2015), and upon the Maturity Date, as defined below, or conversion or repayment pursuant to Section 3 or 4. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year, based on the actual number of days elapsed, and shall be payable in cash.

 

2. Maturity Date . Unless converted by Holder pursuant to the terms of Section 4, the principal amount of this Note, together with any remaining accrued but unpaid interest thereon, shall be due and payable in full on August 18, 2016 (“ Maturity Date ”).

 

3. Prepayment .

 

 3.1 Optional Prepayment . At any time Maker may prepay all or any portion of the outstanding principal balance or accrued but unpaid interest hereunder upon at least ten days prior written notice to Holder, for a price equal to the sum (the “ Prepayment Amount ”) of (i) the then-outstanding principal to be prepaid, plus (ii) all accrued but unpaid interest thereon; provided, however, that any principal amount prepaid under this Section must be accompanied by the payment of a minimum amount of interest that, when aggregated with earlier payments of interest hereunder, equals at least 365 days of interest thereon calculated at the Interest Rate.

 

 
 

 

 3.2 Qualified Financings . The Company shall provide Holder with at least ten days prior written notice before consummating an offering of equity securities, equity-linked securities, or debt securities of the Company in which the gross proceeds to be received by the Company equal, as of the date of such notice, and when aggregated with all prior financings involving the sale of equity securities, equity-linked securities, or debt securities of the Company from and after the date hereof (but exclusive of the amounts borrowed under this Note), at least $3.5 million (a “ Qualified Financing ”). Within the ten-day period after the giving of such notice by the Company, Holder shall determine at its option whether to convert this Note pursuant to Section 4 or to elect repayment under this provision. If Holder fails to give written notice of any such election prior to the expiration of the ten-day period, then Holder shall be deemed to have elected repayment. If repayment is elected (or deemed elected) by Holder, the Company shall pay to Holder, at the time of consummation of the Qualified Financing, all then-outstanding principal of this Note plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

 

3.3 Change in Control Transaction . The Company shall provide Holder with at least ten days prior written notice before consummating a Change in Control Transaction (as defined below). Within the ten-day period after the giving of such notice by the Company, Holder shall determine at its option whether to convert this Note pursuant to Section 4 or to elect repayment under this provision. If Holder fails to give written notice of any such election prior to the expiration of the ten-day period, then Holder shall be deemed to have elected repayment. For purposes of this Note, a “ Change in Control Transaction ” will mean the occurrence, in a single transaction or in a series of related transactions, of any one or more of the following events: (i) the sale of a majority of the assets of the Company; (ii) any Exchange Act Person, as defined below, becomes the owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing more than 50% of the combined voting power of the Company’s then-outstanding securities by virtue of a merger, consolidation or similar transaction; or (iii) there is consummated a merger, consolidation or similar transaction involving the Company (specifically including any triangular merger or consolidation) and, immediately after the consummation of such transaction, the shareholders of the Company immediately prior thereto do not own, directly or indirectly, either (A) outstanding voting securities representing more than 50% of the combined outstanding voting power of the surviving entity in such merger, consolidation or similar transaction or (B) more than 50% of the combined outstanding voting power of the parent of the surviving entity in such merger, consolidation or similar transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control Transaction will not be deemed to occur (1) on account of the acquisition of securities of the Company by an investor, any affiliate thereof or any other Exchange Act Person acquiring the Company’s securities in a transaction or series of related transactions the primary purpose of which is to obtain financing through the issuance of equity securities, or (2) solely because or to the extent that the level of ownership held by any Exchange Act Person exceeds the designated percentage threshold of the outstanding voting securities as a result of a repurchase or other acquisition of voting securities by the Company, thereby reducing the number of shares outstanding. For purposes of this Note, “ Exchange Act Person ” shall mean any corporation, partnership, incorporated entity, unincorporated entity or association, or trust (each a “ Person ”), plus any individual natural person or “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, together with any affiliates of the foregoing; provided, however, that “Exchange Act Person” will not include: (i) the Company or any subsidiary of the Company; (ii) any employee benefit plan of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company or any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee-benefit plan of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company; (iii) an underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering of such securities; (iv) any Person owned, directly or indirectly, by the shareholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of capital stock of the Company; or (v) any Person, individual natural person or “group” that, as of the original issue date of this Note and together with any affiliates of such Person, individual natural person or group, is the owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing more than 50% of the combined voting power of the Company’s then-outstanding securities.

4. Conversion; Repayment .

 

  4.1 Optional Conversion . The unpaid principal amount of this Note or any accrued but unpaid interest thereon may at any time be converted, in whole or in part from time to time, at the option of the Holder, into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price equal to $0.33 per share (the “ Conversion Price ”), subject, however, to adjustment pursuant to Section 4.3.

 

  4.2 Conversion Procedure . In order for Holder to convert this Note into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 4.1, Holder shall surrender this Note to the Company accompanied by an executed conversion notice, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “ Conversion Notice ”). The Conversion Notice shall state the name or names (with address(es)) in which the certificate(s) for shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the “ Conversion Shares ”) shall be issued, and the amount of principal and accrued interest to be converted. On or before the third Trading Day (the “ Conversion Share Delivery Date ”) following the date on which the Company shall have received the Conversion Notice, Make shall (or direct its transfer agent to) either (1) deliver the Conversion Shares to Holder by crediting the account of Holder’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (x) there is an effective registration statement permitting the resale of the Conversion Shares by the Holder or (y) the Conversion Shares are eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144 (delivery pursuant to this clause (1) being referred to as “ DWAC Delivery ”), or otherwise (2) issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such conversion. If the Company is able to deliver Conversion Shares through DWAC Delivery but fails to deliver such Conversion Shares by the Conversion Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to Holder, in cash as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, $20 per Trading Day for each $1,000 of Conversion Shares subject to such delay.

 

4.3 Equitable Adjustment . If the Company, at any time while this Note is outstanding, shall (a) pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock, (b) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (c) combine (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (d) issue shares of capital stock by reclassification, then the Conversion Price shall be equitably adjusted based upon the proportionate increase of outstanding shares resulting from such action. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend, distribution or actual conversion and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, conversion, combination or re-classification; provided, however, that the issuance by the Company, to any employees, directors or consultants of the Company, of any options or warrants to purchase Common Stock shall not in any event result in an adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this paragraph.

4.4 Beneficial Ownership Limitations . The Company shall not effect any conversion of the Note, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Note, to the extent that, after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, such Holder (together with such Holder’s “affiliates,” as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, and any Persons acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holder’s affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, as defined below. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining unconverted portion of the Note beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company that are subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein (including without limitation the Warrants) beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. To ensure compliance with this restriction, each Holder will be deemed to represent to the Company each time it delivers a Notice of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion has not violated the restrictions set forth in this Section and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act.

 

For purposes of this Section, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (iii) a more recent written notice delivered to Holder by the Company or the transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including the Note, by such Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “ Beneficial Ownership Limitation ” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Conversion Shares upon conversion of any portion of the Note by the Holder. Upon no fewer than 61 days’ prior written notice to the Company, a Holder may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section applicable to its conversion rights under this Note, provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Note and the provisions of this Section shall continue to apply. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company and shall only apply to such Holder and no other holder of a similar promissory note of the Company. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Note.

NEITHER THIS WARRANT NOR ANY OF THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. BY ACQUIRING THIS WARRANT, HOLDER REPRESENTS THAT HOLDER WILL NOT SELL OR OTHERWISE DISPOSE OF THIS WARRANT OR THE SECURITIES FOR WHICH IT MAY BE EXERCISED WITHOUT REGISTRATION OR COMPLIANCE WITH AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE AFORESAID ACTS AND THE RULES AND REGULATIONS THEREUNDER.

 

WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK

 

Number of Shares of Common Stock: 1,515,152

Date of Issuance: February 18, 2015 (“ Issuance Date ”)

 

This Certifies That , for value received, Mill City Ventures III, Ltd. (including any permitted and registered assigns, the “ Holder ”), is entitled to purchase from Creative Realities, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (the “ Company ”), up to 1,515,152 shares of Common Stock (the “ Warrant Shares ”) at the Exercise Price then in effect. This Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (this “ Warrant ”) is issued by the Company as of the date hereof pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated the date hereof, by and between the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company, and Holder (the “ Agreement ”). Capitalized terms used in this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement unless otherwise defined in the body of this Warrant or in Section 13 below. For purposes of this Warrant, the term “ Exercise Price ” shall mean $0.38 per share, subject to adjustment as provided herein, and the term “ Exercise Period ” shall mean the period commencing on the Issuance Date and ending on 5:00 p.m. New York time on the five-year anniversary thereof.

 

1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT .

 

(a) Mechanics of Exercise . Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time or times during the Exercise Period by delivery of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “ Exercise Notice ”), of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant. The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares. On or before the third Trading Day (the “ Warrant Share Delivery Date ”) following the date on which the Company shall have received the Exercise Notice, and upon receipt by the Company of (i) payment to the Company of an amount equal to the applicable Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (the “ Aggregate Exercise Price ” and together with the Exercise Notice, the “ Exercise Delivery Documents ”) in cash or by wire transfer of immediately available funds or (ii) notification from the Holder that this Warrant is being exercised pursuant to a Cashless Exercise, as defined below, the Company shall (or direct its transfer agent to) either (1) deliver Warrant Shares to Holder by crediting the account of Holder’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (x) there is an effective registration statement permitting the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder or (y) the Warrant Shares are eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144 (delivery pursuant to this clause (1) being referred to as “ DWAC Delivery ”), or otherwise (2) issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise. If the Company is able to deliver Warrant Shares through DWAC Delivery but fails to deliver such Warrant Shares by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to Holder, in cash as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, $20 per Trading Day for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such delay. Upon delivery of the Exercise Delivery Documents, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares. If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to Section 1(c) and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three Business Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 6) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised.

 

 
 

 

(b) No Fractional Shares . No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant as a consequence of any adjustment pursuant hereto. All Warrant Shares (including fractions) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the exercise would result in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after aggregation, the exercise would result in the issuance of a fractional share, the Company shall, in lieu of issuance of any fractional share, pay the Holder otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to the product resulting from multiplying the then-current fair market value of a Warrant Share by such fraction.

 

(c) Cashless Exercise . The Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “ Net Number ” of shares of Common Stock determined according to the following formula (a “ Cashless Exercise ”):

 

  Net Number = (A x B) - (A x C)  
    B  

 

For purposes of the foregoing formula:

 

  A = the total number of shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised.
     
  B = the Weighted Average Price of the shares of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days ending on the date immediately preceding the date of the Exercise Notice.
     
  C = the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise.

 

2
 

 

(d) Holder’s Exercise Limitations . The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to issuance of Warrant Shares upon exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s “affiliates,” as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, and any other persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, as defined below. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, non-exercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or non-converted portion of any other convertible securities of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this paragraph (e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “ Exchange Act ”), it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this paragraph applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination.

 

For purposes of this paragraph, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the SEC, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or its transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “ Beneficial Ownership Limitation ” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. Upon no fewer than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, a Holder may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this paragraph, provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this paragraph shall continue to apply. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company and shall only apply to such Holder and no other Holder. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor Holder of this Warrant.

2. SUBDIVISION OR COMBINATION OF COMMON STOCK . If the Company at any time on or after the Issuance Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time on or after the Issuance Date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares will be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 2 shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

 

3. FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS . If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company effects any merger of the Company with or into another entity and the Company is not the surviving entity (such surviving entity, the “ Successor Entity ”), (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or by another individual or entity, and approved by the Company) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares of Common Stock for other securities, cash or property and the holders of at least 50% of the Common Stock accept such offer, or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (other than as a result of a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock covered by Section 2(a) above) (in any such case, a “ Fundamental Transaction ”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive the number of shares of Common Stock of the Successor Entity or of the Company and any additional consideration (the “ Alternate Consideration ”) receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event (disregarding any limitation on exercise contained herein solely for the purpose of such determination). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any Successor Entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to exercise such warrant into Alternate Consideration.

4. NON-CIRCUMVENTION . The Company covenants and agrees that it will not, by amendment of its articles of incorporation, bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) shall, for so long as this Warrant is outstanding, have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise).

 

5. WARRANT HOLDER NOT DEEMED A SHAREHOLDER . Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, this Warrant, in and of itself, shall not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

 

6. REISSUANCE . If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company will, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as it may reasonably impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as this Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed. Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Warrant pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, such new Warrant shall be of like tenor with this Warrant, and shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant which is the same as the Issuance Date.

 

7. TRANSFER .

 

(a) Notice of Transfer . The Holder, by acceptance hereof, agrees to give written notice to the Company before transferring this Warrant or transferring any Warrant Shares of such Holder’s intention to do so, describing briefly the manner of any proposed transfer. Promptly upon receiving such written notice, the Company shall present copies thereof to the Company’s counsel. If the proposed transfer may be effected without registration or qualification (under any federal or state securities laws), the Company, as promptly as practicable, shall notify the Holder thereof, whereupon the Holder shall be entitled to transfer this Warrant or to dispose of Warrant Shares received upon the previous exercise of this Warrant, all in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered by the Holder to the Company; provided, however, that an appropriate legend may be endorsed on this Warrant or the certificates for such Warrant Shares respecting restrictions upon transfer thereof necessary or advisable in the opinion of counsel and satisfactory to the Company to prevent further transfers which would be in violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933 and applicable state securities laws; and provided further that the prospective transferee or purchaser shall execute the Assignment of Warrant attached hereto as Exhibit B and such other documents and make such representations, warranties, and agreements as may be required solely to comply with the exemptions relied upon by the Company for the transfer or disposition of the Warrant or Warrant Shares.

 

5
 

 

(b) If the proposed transfer or disposition of this Warrant or such Warrant Shares described in the written notice given pursuant to this Section 7 may not be effected without registration or qualification of this Warrant or such Warrant Shares, the Holder will limit its activities in respect to such transfer or disposition as are permitted by law.

 

8. NOTICES . Whenever notice is required to be given under this Warrant, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be given in accordance with the notice provisions contained in the Agreement. The Company shall provide the Holder with prompt written notice (i) immediately upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price, setting forth in reasonable detail, the calculation of such adjustment and (ii) at least ten days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record (A) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the shares of Common Stock, (B) with respect to any grants, issuances or sales of any stock or other securities directly or indirectly convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or other property, pro rata to the holders of shares of Common Stock or (C) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Fundamental Transaction, dissolution or liquidation, provided in each case that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to the Holder.

 

9. AMENDMENT AND WAIVER . The terms of this Warrant may be amended or waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) only with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.

 

10. GOVERNING LAW . All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the conflicts-of-law principles thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Warrant (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in Hennepin County, Minnesota. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in Hennepin County, Minnesota, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Warrant and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

 

6
 

 

11. DISPUTE RESOLUTION . A dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company or the Holder (as the case may be) shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations via facsimile (a) within two business days after receipt of the applicable notice giving rise to such dispute to the Company or the Holder, as the case may be, or (b) if no notice gave rise to such dispute, at any time after the Holder learned of the circumstances giving rise to such dispute. If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation of the Exercise Price or the Warrant Shares within three business days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the Company or the Holder, as the case may be, then the Company shall, within two business days thereafter submit via facsimile (x) the disputed determination of the Exercise Price to an independent, reputable investment bank selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Holder or (y) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares to the Company’s independent public accountant. The Company shall cause at its expense the investment bank or the accountant, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the Holder of the results no later than ten business days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such investment bank’s or accountant’s determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent manifest error.

 

12. ACCEPTANCE . Receipt of this Warrant by the Holder shall constitute acceptance of and agreement to all of the terms and conditions contained herein.

 

13. CERTAIN DEFINITIONS . For purposes of this Warrant, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

 

(a) “ Bloomberg ” means Bloomberg Financial Markets.

 

(b) “ Common Stock ” means (i) the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and (ii) any share capital into which such common stock shall have been changed or any share capital resulting from a reclassification of such common stock.

 

(c) “ Principal Market ” means the primary national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then traded.

 

(d) “ SEC ” means the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

(e) “ Trading Day ” means (i) any day on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted and traded on its Principal Market, (ii) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted and traded on any national securities exchange, then a day on which trading occurs on any over-the-counter markets, or (iii) if trading does not occur on the over-the-counter markets, any business day.

 

7
 

 

(f) “ Weighted Average Price ” means, for any security as of any date, (i) the dollar-volume weighted-average price for such security on the Principal Market during the period beginning at 9:30 a.m., New York City time, and ending at 4:00 p.m., New York City time, as reported by Bloomberg or (ii) if the foregoing does not apply, the dollar-volume weighted-average price of such security in the principal over-the-counter market for such security during the period beginning at 9:30 a.m., New York City time, and ending at 4:00 p.m., New York City time, as reported by Bloomberg, or (iii) if no dollar-volume weighted-average price is reported for such security by Bloomberg for such hours, the average of the highest closing bid price and the lowest closing ask price of any of the market makers for such security as reported in OTC Markets.

Exhibit 10.4

 

Execution Version

 

SECURITY AGREEMENT

 

THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “ Agreement ”) is entered into as of February 18, 2015, by and between Creative Realities, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (the “ Company ”), those subsidiaries of the Company party hereto (collectively with the Company, the “ Obligors ” and each, an “ Obligor ”), and Mill City Ventures III, Ltd. (the “ Secured Party ”) under that certain Securities Purchase Agreement with the Company dated of even date herewith (the “ Purchase Agreement ”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, Obligors agree with Secured Party as follows:

 

1. Definitions . All terms defined in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Minnesota (the “UCC”) and used herein, unless otherwise defined herein, shall have the same definitions herein as specified in the UCC.

 

2. Security Interest . Each Obligor hereby grants Secured Party a security interest in its accounts receivable, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and all proceeds of such accounts receivable (collectively, the “ Collateral ”).

 

3. Obligations Secured . The security interest granted in this Agreement shall secure all of the obligations of the Company under the Note offered and sold pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and all extensions, renewals or modifications thereof.

 

4. Authorization to File Financing Statements . Each Obligor hereby irrevocably authorizes Secured Party at any time and from time to time to file in such form and in such offices as the Secured Party reasonably determines appropriate to perfect the security interests granted hereunder any initial financing statements and amendments thereto (and continuations thereof) that (a) indicate the Collateral as the accounts receivable of each Obligor, and (b) contain any other information required by Article 9 of the UCC or its equivalent in any foreign jurisdiction. Each Obligor agrees to furnish any such information to Secured Party promptly upon request.

 

5. Ownership . Each Obligor represents and warrants that it owns, and to the extent that the Collateral is to be acquired after the date hereof will own, the Collateral free from encumbrance. Each Obligor will defend the Collateral against all claims of all persons at any time claiming the Collateral or any interest in the Collateral, except Secured Party.

 

6. Representations, Warranties and Covenants Concerning Collateral . Each Obligor represents and warrants that no financing statement covering the Collateral is on file in any public office. Each Obligor warrants that (a) its exact legal name is as stated on the signature page of this Agreement, (b) it is an organization of the type and organized in the jurisdiction set forth on the signature page of this Agreement, and (c) its place(s) of business, its chief executive office and its mailing address, are set forth on the signature page of this Agreement. Each Obligor agrees that it will not change its name, any place of business, any location of its collateral, its mailing address or its chief executive office without giving at least 30 days prior written notice to Secured Party. The Collateral is and will remain personal property. The Obligors shall not change their type of organization, jurisdiction of organization or other legal structure without the prior written consent of Secured Party. Each Obligor hereby appoints Secured Party as its attorney-in-fact to do all acts and things which Secured Party may deem necessary to perfect and to continue perfected the security interest created hereby and to protect and to preserve the Collateral.

 

 
 

 

7. Other Actions as to any and all Collateral . Each Obligor further agrees to take any other action reasonably requested by Secured Party to ensure the attachment, perfection and priority of, and the ability of Secured Party to enforce, Secured Party’s security interest in any and all of the Collateral.

 

8. No Sale or Transfer . No Obligor may sell or transfer the Collateral except in the ordinary course of business prior to the occurrence of a Default. A sale or transfer in the ordinary course of business does not include a sale or transfer in partial or total satisfaction of a debt, or in bulk.

 

9. Inspection and Taxes . Each Obligor will at all reasonable times during normal business hours allow Secured Party and its agents, employees, attorneys or accountants to examine, inspect and make extracts from such Obligor’s books and other records. Obligors will pay when due all taxes and assessments on the Collateral.

 

10. Costs . The Company agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with any filing required hereunder, including without limitation, any financing statements pursuant to the UCC or similar laws, continuation statements, partial releases and/or termination statements related thereto or any expenses of any searches reasonably required by the Secured Party. If an Obligor fails to perform any of its duties hereunder, Secured Party may, but shall not be required to, do so on any Obligor’s behalf. If an Obligor defaults under this Security Agreement, each Obligor will pay the costs, including the reasonable actual attorneys’ fees, of Secured Party incurred in enforcing this Agreement. Any amounts expended by Secured Party in performing an Obligor’s duties or enforcing this Security Agreement shall be payable by the Obligors to Secured Party on demand and shall bear interest at the rate applicable from time to time under the Note held by Secured Party. Any liability arising under this Section 10 will be joint and several among the Obligors.

 

11. Default . Obligors will each be in default under this Security Agreement upon the happening of any of the following events (each a “Default”): (a) an Obligor’s failure to perform when due any of the obligations hereunder required to be performed by it (after giving effect to any applicable cure period); (b) the occurrence of any “Event of Default” as defined in the Note; or (c) any representation or warranty made by an Obligor herein is false or misleading in any material respect.

 

12. Remedies . This Agreement and Secured Party’s rights under this Agreement or under applicable law may be enforced by Secured Party, at its discretion, against any one or more of the parties referred to above which are encompassed within the term Obligor, without any need to bring any enforcement action against the other parties who are encompassed within the term Obligor. At any time during the continuance of a Default, Secured Party may declare any or all monetary obligations under the Note due and payable, and shall have the remedies of Secured Party under the Uniform Commercial Code. Secured Party may take possession of the Collateral with or without judicial process. Secured Party may require any Obligor to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Secured Party. Secured Party will give the Obligors reasonable notice of the time that any intended sale or disposition of the Collateral is to be made. The requirements of reasonable notice shall be met if the notice is mailed, postage prepaid, to any Obligor at least 20 calendar days before the time of the sale or disposition.

 

2
 

 

13. No Waivers . No waiver by Secured Party of any Default shall operate as a waiver of any other Default or of the same Default on a future occasion. The acceptance of this Security Agreement will not waive or impair any other security that Secured Party may have or hereafter acquire for the obligations secured hereunder, nor will the taking of any additional security waive or impair the rights granted in this Security Agreement. Secured Party may resort to any security it may have in any order it deems proper, and may apply any payments made on any part of the obligations secured hereunder to any part of such obligations, despite any directions of an Obligor to the contrary. No delay or omission of the Secured Party to exercise, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power or remedy accruing upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default as aforesaid shall impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Default or an acquiescence therein.

 

14. Governing Law; Binding Effect . This Security Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflicts-of-law principles, and shall inure to the benefit of, and bind, Secured Party and each Obligor and their respective successors and assigns. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Security Agreement (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in Hennepin County, Minnesota. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in Hennepin County, Minnesota, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Security Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. No provision of this Security Agreement shall be amended, modified or waived other than by a written instrument that refers to this Security Agreement and is signed on behalf of Secured Party.

 

15. Termination . This Agreement shall terminate upon the indefeasible satisfaction and payment of all obligations owed to Secured Party by each Obligor, but shall automatically be reinstated with no further action by any party hereto, in the event any such payment is or is ordered to be returned by Secured Party for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Obligor, and each Obligor shall sign and deliver to the Secured Party all documents, and shall do such other acts and things, as may be necessary to reinstate and perfect the Secured Party's security interest.

 

16. Consent to Jurisdiction . AT THE OPTION OF SECURED PARTY, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE ENFORCED IN ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT SITTING IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK, OR IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION WHERE THE COLLATERAL IS LOCATED; AND EACH PARTY CONSENTS TO THE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF ANY SUCH COURT AND WAIVES ANY ARGUMENT THAT VENUE IN SUCH FORUMS IS NOT CONVENIENT. IN THE EVENT ANY PARTY COMMENCES ANY ACTION IN ANOTHER JURISDICTION OR VENUE UNDER ANY TORT OR CONTRACT THEORY ARISING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY FROM THE RELATIONSHIP CREATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, SECURED PARTY AT ITS OPTION SHALL BE ENTITLED TO HAVE THE CASE TRANSFERRED TO ONE OF THE JURISDICTIONS AND VENUES ABOVE DESCRIBED, OR IF SUCH TRANSFER CANNOT BE ACCOMPLISHED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, TO HAVE SUCH CASE DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
