CUSIP No. 300487105

SCHEDULE 13D/A

 

 

Statement on Schedule 13D/A

 

This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 10, 2019 (the “Initial Schedule 13D”), as relates to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of iMedia Brands, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (the “Issuer”). This Amendment No. 1 amends Items 1 through 7 as set forth below to give effect to (1) the additional investment made by the Purchasing Group Members (as defined below) pursuant to the April 2020 Purchase Agreement (as defined below) and (2) Retailing Enterprises, LLC, ZWI Group, LLC and Timothy A. Peterman (collectively, the “Prior Group Members”) no longer being a part of the “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act as disclosed in the Initial Schedule 13D.

 

Item 1. – Security and Issuer

 

(a)         The class of equity securities to which this statement relates is the Common Stock of the Issuer.

 

(b)         The Issuer’s principal executive offices are located at 6740 Shady Oak Road, Eden Prairie, Minnesota 55344.

 

Item 2.      Identity and Background

 

(a)         This Schedule 13D/A is filed on behalf of each of the following (each, a “Reporting Person” and together, the “Reporting Persons”):

 

(i)     (A) Invicta Media Investments, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Invicta Media”), (B) Invicta Watch Company of America, Inc., a Florida corporation and the sole member of Invicta Media (“Invicta Watch”), and (C) Eyal Lalo, the controlling shareholder of Invicta Watch and the sole Manager of Invicta Media (“Mr. Lalo”); and

 

(ii)    Michael Friedman (“Mr. Friedman”) and Leah Friedman (together, the “Friedmans”).

 

Invicta Media, the Friedmans, and the Prior Group Members were parties to that certain Common Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated May 2, 2019, with the Issuer, which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Amendment (the “May 2019 Purchase Agreement”). Subsequently, Invicta Media and the Friedmans (each, a “Purchasing Group Member” and together, the “Purchasing Group Members”) along with Hacienda Jackson LLC entered into a certain Common Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated April 14, 2020, with the Issuer, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 (the “April 2020 Purchase Agreement”), to purchase shares of Common Stock and warrants in four tranches, without contingency.

 

The Purchasing Group Members and the other Reporting Persons are making this single, joint filing because they may be deemed to constitute a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act. The agreement among the Reporting Persons, as well as the Prior Group Members, with respect to the joint filing of this Schedule 13D/A and any amendments thereto (the “Joint Filing Agreement”) is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.2.  Neither the fact of this filing nor anything contained herein shall be deemed an admission by any of the Reporting Persons that they constitute a “group.”

 

The Prior Group Members did not participate in the investment pursuant to the April 2020 Purchase Agreement and

are no longer considered a part of the “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act and therefore have been removed in this Amendment. There is no effort by the Purchasing Group Members and the Prior Group Members to act together for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of the Issuer’s Common Stock. Hacienda Jackson LLC was also a party to the April 2020 Purchase Agreement, and Milestone Venture Partners LLC was also a party to the May 2019 Purchase Agreement.  Neither purchasers are deemed to be members of the “group” filing this Amendment.

(e)   None of the Reporting Persons has, during the last five years, been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceedings was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 4. – Purpose of Transaction

Pursuant to the April 2020 Purchase Agreement, the Purchasing Group Members have agreed to purchase an aggregate of 1,461,416 shares of Common Stock and 734,394 warrants (“Coverage Warrants”) with Invicta Media and the Freidmans purchasing 734,394 and 727,022 shares of Common Stock, respectively, and each purchasing Coverage Warrants exercisable for 367,196 shares of Common Stock, as indicated in the above table. Such shares of common stock and warrants will be purchased in four tranches, without contingency: 244,798 shares of Common Stock for Invicta Media and 242,341 shares of Common Stock for the Freidmans and 122,399 warrants for each on each of April 17, 2020 and July 11, 2020 and 122,399 shares of Common Stock for Invicta Media and 121,170 shares of Common Stock for the Freidmans and 61,199 warrants for each on each of May 23, 2020 and June 13, 2020.

 

 

(2)

Pursuant to the terms of the April 2020 Purchase Agreement, the Purchasing Group Members may not acquire such shares of Common Stock in any tranche if those shares of Common Stock would make the Purchasing Group Members’ aggregate ownership greater than 19.999% (the “Blocker Limitation”). If such number of shares of Common Stock would exceed the Blocker Limitation, the Purchasing Group Members will be issued warrants with an exercise price of $0.001 per share, a ten-year term and will be exercisable upon issuance (the “Blocker Warrants”). No Blocker Warrants were issued in the first tranche, which closed on April 17, 2020. Such evaluation will be conducted at each subsequent tranche closing.

 

 

(3)

The Coverage Warrants issued and to be issued pursuant to the April 2020 Purchase Agreement have or will have an exercise price of $2.66 per share, a five-year term and are exercisable on the six month and one day anniversary of the issuance of such Coverage Warrant.

 

 

(4)

The warrants issued under the May 2019 Purchase Agreement have an exercise price of $15.00 per share, a five-year term and are currently exercisable.

 

 

(5)

Both Mr. Lalo and Mr. Friedman were granted 2,043 restricted stock units on May 2, 2019 and 7,558 restricted stock units on July 12, 2019 (with such amounts giving effect to the Issuer’s 10-for-1 reverse stock split on December 11, 2019). The grant of 2,043 restricted stock units on May 2, 2019 fully vested on the date immediately preceding the date of the Issuer’s 2019 annual meeting, and the grant of 7,558 restricted stock units on July 12, 2019 will fully vest on the date immediately preceding the date of the Issuer’s 2020 annual meeting.

 

Each Purchasing Group Member disclaims beneficial ownership of the Common Stock held by each other Purchasing Group Member.

The Company has the requisite corporate power to enter into this Agreement and carry out and perform its obligations under the terms of this Agreement. At the Closing, the Company will have the requisite corporate power to issue and sell the Securities and the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”).

2.2           No Conflict with Other Instruments. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the issuance and sale of the Securities to be sold by the Company under this Agreement, the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants and the consummation of the actions contemplated by this Agreement (which for all purposes herein shall include exercise of the Warrants) will not (A) result in any violation of, be in conflict with, or constitute a default under, with or without the passage of time or the giving of notice: (i) any provision of the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws as in effect on the date hereof or at the Closing; (ii) any provision of any judgment, arbitration ruling, decree or order to which the Company or its subsidiaries are a party or by which they are bound; (iii) any bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness, or any lease, contract, mortgage, indenture, deed of trust, loan agreement, joint venture or other agreement, instrument or commitment to which the Company or any subsidiary is a party or by which they or their respective properties are bound; or (iv) any statute, rule, law or governmental regulation applicable to the Company; or (B) result in the creation or imposition of any lien, encumbrance, claim, security interest or restriction whatsoever upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or any subsidiary or any acceleration of indebtedness pursuant to any obligation, agreement or condition contained in any bond, debenture, note or any other evidence of indebtedness or any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or any other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any subsidiary are a party or by which they are bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company or any subsidiary is subject. No consent, approval, authorization or other order of, or registration, qualification or filing with, any regulatory body, administrative agency, or other governmental body is required for the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and the valid issuance or sale of the Securities by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, other than such as have been made or obtained and that remain in full force and effect, and except for the filing of a Form D, any filings required to be made under state securities laws and filings with the Nasdaq Global Select Market.

2.5           SEC Filings. The consolidated financial statements contained in each report, registration statement and definitive proxy statement filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC,” and the documents, the “Company SEC Documents”): (i) complied as to form in all material respects with the published rules and regulations of the SEC applicable thereto and were timely filed; (ii) the information contained therein as of the respective dates thereof did not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein in light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading; (iii) were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods covered, except as may be indicated in the notes to such financial statements and (in the case of unaudited statements) as permitted by Form 10-Q of the SEC, and except that unaudited financial statements may not contain footnotes and are subject to year-end audit adjustments; and (iv) fairly present the consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries as of the respective dates thereof and the consolidated results of operations and the changes in shareholders’ equity of the Company and its subsidiaries for the periods covered thereby.

 

2.6           Subsidiaries. Except as set forth in the Company SEC Documents, the Company does not presently own or control, directly or indirectly, and has no stock or other interest as owner or principal in, any other corporation or partnership, joint venture, association or other business venture or entity with material operations (each a “subsidiary”). Each subsidiary is duly incorporated or organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization and has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted. Each subsidiary is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would have a material adverse effect on its business or properties. All of the outstanding capital stock or other securities of each subsidiary is owned by the Company, directly or indirectly, free and clear of any liens, claims, or encumbrances.

 

2.7           Valid Issuance of Securities.

The issuance, sale and delivery of the Securities and the Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof or the Warrant, as the case may be, will not be subject to preemptive rights of shareholders of the Company. The Warrant Shares have been duly reserved for issuance upon exercise of the Warrant.

 

2.8           Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the representations of the Purchasers in Section 3.3 of this Agreement on the date hereof, on the Closing Date and solely as this Section relates to the issue and sale of the Warrant Shares on the date(s) of exercise of the Warrant, the offer, issue and sale of the Securities and issuance of the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrant (assuming no change in applicable law prior to the date the Warrant Shares are issued), are and will be exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and have been or will be registered or qualified (or are or will be exempt from registration and qualification) under the registration, permit or qualification requirements of all applicable state securities laws. Neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or indirectly made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would require registration under the Securities Act of the issuance of the Securities to the Purchasers or the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants. Other than the Company SEC Documents, the Company has not distributed and will not distribute prior to the Closing Date any offering material in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities or Warrant Shares. The Company has not taken any action to sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy any securities of the Company which would bring the offer, issuance or sale of the Securities or the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants, within the provisions of Section 5 of the Securities Act, unless such offer, issuance or sale was or shall be within the exemptions of Section 4 of the Securities Act.

Neither the Company nor any subsidiary is subject to any material injunction, judgment, decree or order of any court, regulatory body, arbitral panel, administrative agency or other government body.

 

2.10         Governmental Consents. No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any federal, state, local or provincial governmental authority on the part of the Company is required in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except for notices required or permitted to be filed with certain state and federal securities commissions, which notices will be filed on a timely basis.

 

2.11         No General Solicitation. Neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has engaged in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act) in connection with the offer or sale of the Securities. “Affiliates” has the meaning given to it in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Each Purchaser is acquiring the Securities and the Warrant Shares for its own account, not as nominee or agent, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution or public offering thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, each Purchaser does not agree to hold any of the Securities for any minimum or specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the securities at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

 

(b)          Transfer Restrictions; Legends. Each Purchaser understands that (i) the Securities and Warrant Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act; (ii) the Securities and Warrant Shares are being offered and sold pursuant to an exemption from registration, based in part upon the Company’s reliance upon the statements and representations made by each Purchasers in this Agreement, and that the Securities and Warrant Shares must be held by each Purchaser indefinitely, and that each Purchaser must, therefore, bear the economic risk of such investment indefinitely, unless a subsequent disposition thereof is registered under the Securities Act or is exempt from such registration; (iii) each Certificate representing the Securities and Warrant Shares will be endorsed with the following legend until the earlier of (1) in the case of the Shares and Warrant Shares, such date as the Shares or Warrant Shares, as the case may be, have been registered for resale by each Purchaser or (2) the date the Shares, the Warrants or the Warrant Shares, as the case may be, are eligible for sale under Rule 144 under the Securities Act without limitations:

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATES. THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND THE APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM. UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT ANY PROPOSED TRANSFER OR RESALE IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

 

(iv) the Company will instruct any transfer agent not to register the transfer of the Securities or Warrant Shares (or any portion thereof) until the applicable date set forth in clause (iii) above unless the conditions specified in the foregoing legends are satisfied or, if the opinion of counsel referred to above is to the further effect that such legend is not required in order to establish compliance with any provisions of the Securities Act or this Agreement, or other satisfactory assurances of such nature are given to the Company.

Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth in this Section 3.3(b) is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that each Purchaser will sell any Securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom.

Further, each Purchaser has had such opportunity to obtain additional information and to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the Company, concerning the terms and conditions of the investment and the business and affairs of the Company, as each Purchaser considers necessary in order to form an investment decision.

The Company shall register this Warrant upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time.

Purchase Agreement

Page B-2

 

 

 

(b)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Warrant, in the event of a Change of Control, at Company’s sole option, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant in exchange for a number of shares of Company’s securities, such number of securities being equal to the maximum number of securities issuable pursuant to the terms hereof (after taking into account all adjustments described herein) had the Holder elected to exercise this Warrant immediately prior to the closing of such Change of Control and purchased all such shares pursuant to the cashless exercise provision set forth in Section 10(b) (as opposed to the cash exercise provision set forth in Section 10(a)). The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Holder shall not be required to make any additional payment (cash or otherwise) for such shares as further consideration for their issuance in exchange for the Holder’s surrender of this Warrant pursuant to the terms of the preceding sentence. “Change of Control” A “Change of Control” shall be deemed to occur if the Company shall (a) sell, lease, convey, or otherwise dispose of (including without limitation the grant of an exclusive license to) all or substantially all of the Company’s intellectual property or assets as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to any person, entity or group of persons acting in concert, (b) effect a merger, consolidation or reorganization in which the Company is not the surviving entity and the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to the merger, consolidation or reorganization fail to possess direct or indirect ownership of more than 50% of the voting power of the securities of the surviving entity immediately following such transaction (other than a merger or consolidation with a wholly-owned subsidiary, a reincorporation of the Company, or other transaction in which there is no substantial change in the stockholders of the Company or their relative stock holdings), or (c) effect a merger, consolidation or reorganization in which the Company is the surviving corporation and the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to the merger, consolidation or reorganization fail to possess direct or indirect ownership of more than 50% of the securities of the Company immediately following such transaction.

 

5.           Delivery of Warrant Shares.

 

(a)          To effect exercises hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant unless the aggregate Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant are being exercised. Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice (in the form attached hereto) to the Company (with the attached Warrant Shares Exercise Log) at its address for notice set forth herein and upon payment of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares that the Holder intends to purchase hereunder, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than two Trading Days after the Date of Exercise (as defined herein)) issue and deliver to the Holder, a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise. A “Date of Exercise” means each of the (A) the date of a Change of Control and (B) the date on which the Holder shall have delivered to the Company: (i) the Exercise Notice (with the Warrant Exercise Log attached to it), appropriately completed and duly signed and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares so indicated by the Holder to be purchased.

 

(b)          If by the third Trading Day after a Date of Exercise the Company fails to deliver the required number of Warrant Shares in the manner required pursuant to Section 5(a), then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.

 

6.           Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.

 

 

Purchase Agreement

Page B-3

 

 

 

7.           Replacement of Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity (which shall not include a surety bond), if requested. Applicants for a New Warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may prescribe. If a New Warrant is requested as a result of a mutilation of this Warrant, then the Holder shall deliver such mutilated Warrant to the Company as a condition precedent to the Company’s obligation to issue the New Warrant.

 

8.           Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 9). The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.

 

9.           Certain Adjustments. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 9.

 

(a)          Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to equal the product obtained by multiplying the then-current Exercise Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination.

 

(b)          Fundamental Transactions. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding there is a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (the “Alternate Consideration”). 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. Any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant substantially in the form of this Warrant and consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to purchase the Alternate Consideration for the aggregate Exercise Price upon exercise thereof.

(c)          Number of Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section, the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the adjusted number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.

 

(d)          Calculations. All calculations under this Section shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.

 

(e)          Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section, the Company at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the Company’s Transfer Agent.

 

10.         Payment of Exercise Price. The Holder may pay the Exercise Price in one of the following manners:

 

(a)          Cash Exercise. The Holder may deliver immediately available funds; or

 

(b)          Cashless Exercise. Solely pursuant to a Company Exercise, the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares determined as follows:

 

X = Y [(A-B)/A]  

 

where:  

 

X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder.  

 

Y = the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised.  

 

A = the average of the Closing Prices for the five Trading Days immediately prior to (but not including) the Exercise Date.  

 

B = the Exercise Price.  

 

11.         No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Warrant Shares will be issued in connection with any exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any fractional shares which would, otherwise be issuable, the Company shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the Closing Price of one Warrant Share on the date of exercise.

 

12.         Notices. Any notice required or permitted under this Warrant (including, without limitation, any Exercise Notice) shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon the earlier of (1) actual receipt or three days after mailing if mailed postage prepaid by regular or airmail to the Company or the Holder or (2) one day after it is sent by overnight mail via nationally recognized courier or (3) on the same day as sent via confirmed e-mail or facsimile transmission, provided that the original is sent by personal delivery or mail by the sending party. Address for such notice will be provided by each party to the other under separate cover.

 

13.         Standstill Agreement. Until May 2, 2020, the Holder will not, and the Holder will cause each of its Affiliates and each member, director, officer, and manager of such Holder or of any of its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly:

(a)          acquire or agree, offer, seek, or propose to acquire (by merger, tender offer, purchase, or otherwise), ownership (including beneficial ownership as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) of any of the Company’s assets, businesses, voting stock, or any rights or options to acquire such ownership (including from a third party), except pursuant to any proposal expressly solicited by the Chair of the Company’s board of directors;

 

(b)         seek or propose, in the capacity of a shareholder or person other than a director or officer to influence or control the management or policies of the Company or to obtain additional representation on the Company’s board of directors, or solicit proxies or consents with respect to any securities of the Company in connection with the election of directors outside of those solicited by the Company’s board of directors;

 

(c)         make any other public announcement with respect to any of the foregoing or take any other intentional action that would reasonably be expected to require that the Company make a public announcement with respect to any of the foregoing; or

 

(d)         enter into any discussions, negotiations, arrangements, or understandings with any person (other than the Company or its Affiliates) with respect to any of the foregoing.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, if after the date hereof the Company enters into an acquisition or business combination in which (1) the security holders of the Company would not own a majority of the surviving entity or (2) the Company is selling all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, then the Holder shall be entitled to take any of the actions set forth in this Section.

 

14.         Miscellaneous.

 

(a)          This Warrant shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Subject to the preceding sentence, nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to give to any Person other than the Company and the Holder any legal or equitable right, remedy or cause of action under this Warrant. This Warrant may be amended only in writing signed by the Company and the Holder and their successors and assigns.

 

(b)          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 Minnesota, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.

 

(c)          The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Warrant and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

 

(d)          In case any one or more of the provisions of this Warrant shall be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Warrant shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt in good faith to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision which shall be a commercially reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Warrant.

 

(e)          Prior to exercise of this Warrant, the Holder hereof shall not, by reason of by being a Holder, be entitled to any rights of a stockholder with respect to the Warrant Shares

Exhibit 99.2

  

IMEDIA BRANDS, INC.

COMMON STOCK AND WARRANT PURCHASE AGREEMENT

 

This Common Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as of April 14, 2020 by and between iMedia Brands, Inc., a Minnesota corporation with its principal office at 6740 Shady Oak Road, Eden Prairie, MN 55344-3433 (the “Company”), and those purchasers listed on the attached Exhibit A, as such exhibit may be amended from time to time (each a “Purchaser”, and collectively, the “Purchasers”).

 

Recitals

 

A.       The Company has authorized the sale and issuance of up to 1,958,384 shares (the “Shares”) of the common stock of the Company, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), and warrants to purchase 979,190 shares of Common Stock to the Purchasers in a private placement (the “Offering”).

 

B.       Pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder, the Company desires to sell to the Purchasers listed on the attached Exhibit A, as such exhibit may be amended from time to time, and such Purchasers, severally and not jointly, desire to purchase from the Company that aggregate number of shares of Common Stock set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on Exhibit A, and warrants to purchase that aggregate number of shares of Common Stock set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on Exhibit A on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

 

Terms and Conditions

 

Now, therefore, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, do hereby agree as follows:

 

1.

Purchase of the Securities.

 

1.1       Agreement to Sell and Purchase. At the Closings (as hereinafter defined), the Company will issue and sell to each of the Purchasers, and each Purchaser will, severally and not jointly, purchase from the Company, the number of Shares and warrants to purchase Common Stock of the Company (the “Warrants” and together with the Shares, the “Securities”) set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on Exhibit A for an aggregate purchase price set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on Exhibit A (the “Purchase Price”). The Warrants shall be in the form set forth hereto as Exhibit B.

 

1.2       Limitation on Shares. The Company will not deliver Shares, and the Purchaser will not have the right to receive Shares, to the extent that the Purchaser (individually or together with any other person or entity with whom such Purchaser has identified, or will have identified, itself at the time as part of a “group” in a public filing, or amendment thereto, made with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) involving the Company’s securities) acquiring, or obtaining the right to acquire, in excess of 19.999% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or voting power of the Company on a post-transaction basis that assumes that the Initial Closing (as hereinafter defined) or Subsequent Closing (as hereinafter defined), as applicable, shall have occurred. Such shares in excess of the Maximum Percentage are hereinafter referred to as “Excess Shares”). For purposes of this Section 1.2, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock owned by such Purchaser and its affiliates will include the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued in the Initial Closing or Subsequent Closing, as applicable, to this Agreement with respect to which the determination is being made, but will exclude shares of Common Stock that are issuable (i) pursuant to any future Closings under this Agreement and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company beneficially owned by such Purchaser and its affiliates (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein. The provisions of this Section 1.2 and analogous provision in the Warrants shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with its text to correct this Section 1.2 (or any portion hereof or analogous provision) that may be defective or inconsistent with the intended maximum ownership limitation contained herein or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.

To the extent any Shares are unable to be delivered pursuant to Section 1.2, the Company will issue to such Purchaser one or more warrants to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock of the Company equal to the number of Excess Shares at an exercise price equal to $0.001 per share. Any such substitute Warrants shall be in the form set forth hereto as Exhibit C.

 

1.3       Closings; Closing Dates. The initial completion of the sale and purchase of the Securities (the “Initial Closing”) shall be held at 8:00 a.m. (Central Time) as soon as practicable following the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4 (the “Initial Closing Date”), at the offices of Faegre Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP, 2200 Wells Fargo Center, 90 S. 7th Street, Minneapolis, MN 55402-3901 or at such other time and other place as the Company and Purchasers may mutually agree. Each subsequent sale and purchase of the Securities (each, a “Subsequent Closing” and together with the Initial Closing, the “Closings”) shall be held at dates and times mutually agreed by the Purchasers and the Company as soon as practicable following the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4 (each, a “Subsequent Closing Date,” and together with the Initial Closing Date, each, a “Closing Date”), at the offices of Faegre Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP, 2200 Wells Fargo Center, 90 S. 7th Street, Minneapolis, MN 55402-3901 or at such other place as the Company and Purchasers may mutually agree; provided, that in no event shall a Closing for Securities occur following the respective dates set forth on Exhibit A.

 

1.4       Delivery of the Shares. At each of the Closings, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Company will deliver to each Purchaser a stock certificate or certificates or evidence of book entry notation and Warrant or Warrants, in such denominations and registered in such names as such Purchaser may designate by notice to the Company, representing the Securities, dated as of the Closing Date (each a “Certificate”), against payment of the purchase price therefor by cash in the form of wire transfer, unless other means of payment shall have been agreed upon by the Purchasers and the Company.

 

2.           Representations and Warranties of the Company. As of the date hereof and the date of each of the Closings, as applicable, the Company hereby represents and warrants to each Purchaser:

 

2.1       Authorization. All corporate action on the part of the Company, its officers, directors and shareholders necessary for the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement has been taken. The Company has the requisite corporate power to enter into this Agreement and carry out and perform its obligations under the terms of this Agreement. At the Closings, the Company will have the requisite corporate power to issue and sell the Securities and the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”). This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and, upon due execution and delivery by the Purchasers, this Agreement will be a valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles.

 

2.2       No Conflict with Other Instruments. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the issuance and sale of the Securities to be sold by the Company under this Agreement, the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants and the consummation of the actions contemplated by this Agreement (which for all purposes herein shall include exercise of the Warrants) will not (A) result in any violation of, be in conflict with, or constitute a default under, with or without the passage of time or the giving of notice: (i) any provision of the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws as in effect on the date hereof or at the applicable Closing Date; (ii) any provision of any judgment, arbitration ruling, decree or order to which the Company or its subsidiaries are a party or by which they are bound; (iii) any bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness, or any lease, contract, mortgage, indenture, deed of trust, loan agreement, joint venture or other agreement, instrument or commitment to which the Company or any subsidiary is a party or by which they or their respective properties are bound; or (iv) any statute, rule, law or governmental regulation applicable to the Company; or (B) result in the creation or imposition of any lien, encumbrance, claim, security interest or restriction whatsoever upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or any subsidiary or any acceleration of indebtedness pursuant to any obligation, agreement or condition contained in any bond, debenture, note or any other evidence of indebtedness or any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or any other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any subsidiary are a party or by which they are bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company or any subsidiary is subject. No consent, approval, authorization or other order of, or registration, qualification or filing with, any regulatory body, administrative agency, or other governmental body is required for the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and the valid issuance or sale of the Securities by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, other than such as have been made or obtained and that remain in full force and effect, and except for the filing of a Form D, any filings required to be made under state securities laws and filings with the Nasdaq Capital Market.

2.3       Articles of Incorporation; Bylaws. The Company has made available to the Purchasers true, correct and complete copies of the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company, as in effect on the date hereof.

 

2.4       Organization, Good Standing and Qualification. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Minnesota and has all requisite corporate power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted. The Company and each of its subsidiaries has full power and authority to own, operate and occupy its properties and to conduct its business as presently conducted and is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure so to qualify would have a material adverse effect on its or its subsidiaries’ business, financial condition, properties, operations, prospects or assets or its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement (a “Material Adverse Effect”).

 

2.5       SEC Filings. The Company has filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by the Company under the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), including pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof, for the two years preceding the date hereof (the foregoing materials, including the exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein, being collectively referred to herein as the “Company SEC Documents”) on a timely basis or has received a valid extension of such time of filing and has filed any such Company SEC Documents prior to the expiration of any such extension, except for those filings made pursuant to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. As of their respective dates, the Company SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, as applicable, and none of the Company SEC Documents, when filed, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Further, the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company SEC Documents: (i) complied as to form in all material respects with the published rules and regulations of the SEC applicable thereto and were timely filed; (ii) the information contained therein as of the respective dates thereof did not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein in light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading; (iii) were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods covered, except as may be indicated in the notes to such financial statements and (in the case of unaudited statements) as permitted by Form 10-Q of the SEC, and except that unaudited financial statements may not contain footnotes and are subject to year-end audit adjustments; and (iv) fairly present the consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries as of the respective dates thereof and the consolidated results of operations and the changes in shareholders’ equity of the Company and its subsidiaries for the periods covered thereby.

2.6       Listing and Maintenance Requirements. The Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and the Company has taken no action designed to, or which to its knowledge is likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act nor has the Company received any notification that the SEC is contemplating terminating such registration. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.6, the Company has not, in the 12 months preceding the date hereof, received notice from any listing exchange including the Nasdaq Capital Market on which the Common Stock is or has been listed or quoted to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with such listing or maintenance requirements. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.6, the Company has no reason to believe that it will not, upon issuance of the Securities, be in compliance with all such listing and maintenance requirements. The Common Stock is currently eligible for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation and the Company is current in payment of the fees to the Depository Trust Company (or such other established clearing corporation) in connection with such electronic transfer. The issuance of the Securities hereunder does not contravene the rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

2.7       Subsidiaries. Except as set forth in the Company SEC Documents, the Company does not presently own or control, directly or indirectly, and has no stock or other interest as owner or principal in, any other corporation or partnership, joint venture, association or other business venture or entity with material operations (each a “subsidiary”). Each subsidiary is duly incorporated or organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization and has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted. Each subsidiary is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would have a material adverse effect on its business or properties. All of the outstanding capital stock or other securities of each subsidiary is owned by the Company, directly or indirectly, free and clear of any liens, claims, or encumbrances.

 

2.8       Valid Issuance of Securities. The Securities and the Warrant Shares are duly authorized and, when issued, sold and delivered in accordance with the terms hereof or the Warrants, as the case may be, will be duly and validly authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free from all taxes, liens, claims, encumbrances and charges with respect to the issue thereof; provided, however, that the Securities and the Warrant Shares may be subject to restrictions on transfer under state and/or federal securities laws or as otherwise set forth herein. The issuance, sale and delivery of the Securities and the Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof or the Warrant, as the case may be, will not be subject to preemptive rights of shareholders of the Company. The Shares and the Warrant Shares, upon exercise of the Warrant, have been duly reserved for issuance from the Company’s duly authorized capital stock.

 

2.9       Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the representations of the Purchasers in Section 3.3 of this Agreement on the date hereof, on the applicable Closing Date and solely as this Section relates to the issue and sale of the Warrant Shares on the date(s) of exercise of the Warrant, the offer, issue and sale of the Securities and issuance of the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrant (assuming no change in applicable law prior to the date the Warrant Shares are issued), are and will be exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and have been or will be registered or qualified (or are or will be exempt from registration and qualification) under the registration, permit or qualification requirements of all applicable state securities laws. Neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or indirectly made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would require registration under the Securities Act of the issuance of the Securities to the Purchasers or the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants. Other than the Company SEC Documents, the Company has not distributed and will not distribute prior to the applicable Closing Date any offering material in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities or Warrant Shares. The Company has not taken any action to sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy any securities of the Company which would bring the offer, issuance or sale of the Securities or the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants, within the provisions of Section 5 of the Securities Act, unless such offer, issuance or sale was or shall be within the exemptions of Section 4 of the Securities Act.

2.10       Litigation. Except as set forth in the Company SEC Documents or Schedule 2.10, there is no action, suit, proceeding nor investigation pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, currently threatened against the Company or any of its subsidiaries that would be required to be disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K under the requirements of Item 103 of Regulation S-K. The foregoing includes, without limitation, any action, suit, proceeding or investigation, pending or threatened, that questions the validity of this Agreement or the right of the Company to enter into such Agreement and perform its obligations hereunder. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.10, neither the Company nor any subsidiary is subject to any injunction, judgment, decree or order of any court, regulatory body, arbitral panel, administrative agency of other government body.

 

2.11       Governmental Consents. No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any federal, state, local or provincial governmental authority on the part of the Company is required in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except for notices required or permitted to be filed with certain state and federal securities commissions, which notices will be filed on a timely basis.

 

2.12       No General Solicitation. Neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has engaged in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act) in connection with the offer or sale of the Securities. “Affiliates” has the meaning given to it in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

 

2.13       No “Bad Actor” Disqualification. The Company has exercised reasonable care, in accordance with SEC rules and guidance, and has conducted a factual inquiry, the nature and scope of which reflect reasonable care under the relevant facts and circumstances, to determine whether any Covered Person (as defined below) is subject to any of the “bad actor” disqualifications described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i) to (viii) under the Securities Act (“Disqualification Events”). To the Company’s knowledge, after conducting such sufficiently diligent factual inquiries, no Covered Person is subject to a Disqualification Event, except for a Disqualification Event covered by Rule 506(d)(2) or (d)(3) under the Securities Act. The Company has complied, to the extent applicable, with any disclosure obligations under Rule 506(e) under the Securities Act. “Covered Persons” are those persons specified in Rule 506(d)(1) under the Securities Act, including the Company; any predecessor or Affiliate of the Company; any director, executive officer, other officer participating in the offering, general partner or managing member of the Company; any beneficial owner of 20% or more of the Company’s outstanding voting equity securities, calculated on the basis of voting power; any promoter (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) connected with the Company in any capacity at the time of the sale of the Shares; and any person that has been or will be paid (directly or indirectly) remuneration for solicitation of purchasers in connection with the sale of the Shares (a “Solicitor”), any general partner or managing member of any Solicitor, and any director, executive officer or other officer participating in the offering of any Solicitor or general partner or managing member of any Solicitor.

 

3.         Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers. As of the date hereof and the date of each of the Closings, as applicable, each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

 

3.1       Legal Power. Each Purchaser has the requisite authority to enter into this Agreement and to carry out and perform its obligations under the terms of this Agreement. All action on each Purchaser’s part required for the lawful execution and delivery of this Agreement have been or will be effectively taken prior to the applicable Closing Date.

 

 

Purchase Agreement

 

Page 5

 

 

 

3.2       Due Execution. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each Purchaser, and, upon due execution and delivery by the Company, this Agreement will be a valid and binding agreement of each Purchaser, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles.

 

3.3       Investment Representations. In connection with the sale and issuance of the Securities and Warrant Shares, each Purchaser, for itself and no other Purchaser, makes the following representations:

 

(a)       Investment for Own Account. Each Purchaser is acquiring the Securities and the Warrant Shares for its own account, not as nominee or agent, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution or public offering thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, each Purchaser does not agree to hold any of the Securities for any minimum or specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the securities at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

 

(b)       Transfer Restrictions; Legends. Each Purchaser understands that (i) the Securities and Warrant Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act; (ii) the Securities and Warrant Shares are being offered and sold pursuant to an exemption from registration, based in part upon the Company’s reliance upon the statements and representations made by each Purchaser in this Agreement, and that the Securities and Warrant Shares must be held by each Purchaser indefinitely, and that each Purchaser must, therefore, bear the economic risk of such investment indefinitely, unless a subsequent disposition thereof is registered under the Securities Act or is exempt from such registration; (iii) each Certificate representing the Securities and Warrant Shares will be endorsed with the following legend until the earlier of (1) in the case of the Shares and Warrant Shares, such date as the Shares or Warrant Shares, as the case may be, have been registered for resale by each Purchaser or (2) the date the Shares, the Warrants or the Warrant Shares, as the case may be, are eligible for sale under Rule 144 under the Securities Act without limitations:

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATES. THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND THE APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM. UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT ANY PROPOSED TRANSFER OR RESALE IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

 

(iv) the Company will instruct any transfer agent not to register the transfer of the Securities or Warrant Shares (or any portion thereof) until the applicable date set forth in clause (iii) above unless the conditions specified in the foregoing legends are satisfied or, if the opinion of counsel referred to above is to the further effect that such legend is not required in order to establish compliance with any provisions of the Securities Act or this Agreement, or other satisfactory assurances of such nature are given to the Company.

 

Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth in this Section 3.3(b) is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that each Purchaser will sell any Securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom.

The Purchasers agree to refrain from taking any actions during the Standstill Period to intentionally encourage other shareholders of the Company or any other persons to engage in any of the actions referred to in the previous sentence.

 

(e)       As used in this Agreement, the term “Associate” shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 12b-2 promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; the terms “beneficial owner” and “beneficial ownership” shall have the same meanings as set forth in Rule 13d-3 promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; the terms “economic owner” and “economically own” shall have the same meanings as “beneficial owner” and “beneficially own,” except that a person will also be deemed to economically own and to be the economic owner of (i) all shares of Common Stock that such person has the right to acquire pursuant to the exercise of any rights in connection with any securities or any agreement, regardless of when such rights may be exercised and whether they are conditional, and (ii) all shares of Common Stock in which such person has any economic interest, including pursuant to a cash-settled call option or other derivative security, contract, or instrument in any way related to the price of shares of Common Stock; the terms “person” or “persons” shall mean any individual, corporation (including not-for-profit), general or limited partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, estate, trust, association, organization, or other entity of any kind or nature; and the term.

5.5       19.999% Blocker. Each Purchaser hereby agrees that it will take no actions that will result in the total number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Purchaser and its affiliates, as defined under Rule 144, and any other persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Purchaser’s for purposes of the Exchange Act, to exceed 19.999% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.  For such purposes, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.  This provision shall not restrict the number of shares of Common Stock which a Purchaser may receive or beneficially own in order to determine the amount of securities or other consideration that such Purchaser may receive in the event of a Fundamental Transaction.  This restriction may not be waived without shareholder approval. “Fundamental Transaction” means any of the following: (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another person, (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 another person pursuant to an agreement with the Company) is completed pursuant to which all holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and the holders of at least 50% of the then outstanding Common Stock tender their shares of Common Stock, 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.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the number of Warrant Shares that may be acquired by the Holder upon any exercise of this Warrant (or otherwise in respect hereof) shall be limited to the extent necessary to insure that, following such exercise (or other issuance), the total number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Holder and its affiliates (as defined under Rule 144, “Affiliates”) and any other persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, does not exceed 19.999% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise).  For such purposes, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.  This provision shall not restrict the number of shares of Common Stock which a Holder may receive or beneficially own in order to determine the amount of securities or other consideration that such Holder may receive in the event of a Fundamental Transaction as contemplated in Section 9(b) of this Warrant.  This restriction may not be waived without shareholder approval.”

The Company shall register this Warrant upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time.

(b)       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Warrant, in the event of a Change of Control, (i) at Company’s sole option unless (ii) the Change of Control results in the Company no longer having a class of securities registered under Section 12 or Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in which case such determination shall be made automatically, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant in exchange for a number of shares of Company’s securities, such number of securities being equal to the maximum number of securities issuable pursuant to the terms hereof (after taking into account all adjustments described herein) had the Holder elected to exercise this Warrant immediately prior to the closing of such Change of Control and purchased all such shares pursuant to the cashless exercise provision set forth in Section 10(b) (as opposed to the cash exercise provision set forth in Section 10(a)). The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Holder shall not be required to make any additional payment (cash or otherwise) for such shares as further consideration for their issuance in exchange for the Holder’s surrender of this Warrant pursuant to the terms of the preceding sentence. A “Change of Control” shall be deemed to occur if the Company shall (a) sell, lease, convey, or otherwise dispose of (including without limitation the grant of an exclusive license to) all or substantially all of the Company’s intellectual property or assets as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to any person, entity or group of persons acting in concert, (b) effect a merger, consolidation or reorganization in which the Company is not the surviving entity and the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to the merger, consolidation or reorganization fail to possess direct or indirect ownership of more than 50% of the voting power of the securities of the surviving entity immediately following such transaction (other than a merger or consolidation with a wholly-owned subsidiary, a reincorporation of the Company, or other transaction in which there is no substantial change in the stockholders of the Company or their relative stock holdings), or (c) effect a merger, consolidation or reorganization in which the Company is the surviving corporation and the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to the merger, consolidation or reorganization fail to possess direct or indirect ownership of more than 50% of the securities of the Company immediately following such transaction.

 

5.       Delivery of Warrant Shares.

 

(a)       To effect exercises hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant unless the aggregate Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant are being exercised. Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice (in the form attached hereto) to the Company (with the attached Warrant Shares Exercise Log) at its address for notice set forth herein and upon payment of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares that the Holder intends to purchase hereunder, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than two Trading Days after the Date of Exercise (as defined herein)) issue and deliver to the Holder, a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise. A “Date of Exercise” means each of (A) the date of a Change of Control and (B) the date on which the Holder shall have delivered to the Company: (i) the Exercise Notice (with the Warrant Exercise Log attached to it), appropriately completed and duly signed and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares so indicated by the Holder to be purchased.

 

(b)       If by the third Trading Day after a Date of Exercise the Company fails to deliver the required number of Warrant Shares in the manner required pursuant to Section 5(a), then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.

 

6.       Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.

 

 

Purchase Agreement

 

Page B-3

 

 

 

7.       Replacement of Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity (which shall not include a surety bond), if requested. Applicants for a New Warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may prescribe. If a New Warrant is requested as a result of a mutilation of this Warrant, then the Holder shall deliver such mutilated Warrant to the Company as a condition precedent to the Company’s obligation to issue the New Warrant.

 

8.       Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 9). The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.

 

9.       Certain Adjustments. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 9.

 

(a)       Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to equal the product obtained by multiplying the then-current Exercise Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination.

 

(b)       Fundamental Transactions. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding there is a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (the “Alternate Consideration”). 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. Any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant substantially in the form of this Warrant and consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to purchase the Alternate Consideration for the aggregate Exercise Price upon exercise thereof.

 

 

Purchase Agreement

 

Page B-4

 

 

 

(c)       Number of Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section, the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the adjusted number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.

 

(d)       Calculations. All calculations under this Section shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.

 

(e)       Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section, the Company at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the Company’s Transfer Agent.

 

10.       Payment of Exercise Price. The Holder may pay the Exercise Price in one of the following manners:

 

(a)       Cash Exercise. The Holder may deliver immediately available funds; or

 

(b)       Cashless Exercise. Solely pursuant to a Company Exercise, the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares determined as follows:

 

X = Y [(A-B)/A]

 

where:

 

X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder.

 

Y = the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised.

 

A = the average of the Closing Prices for the five Trading Days immediately prior to (but not including) the Exercise Date.

 

B = the Exercise Price.

 

11.       No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Warrant Shares will be issued in connection with any exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any fractional shares which would, otherwise be issuable, the Company shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the Closing Price of one Warrant Share on the date of exercise.

 

12.       Notices. Any notice required or permitted under this Warrant (including, without limitation, any Exercise Notice) shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon the earlier of (1) actual receipt or three days after mailing if mailed postage prepaid by regular or airmail to the Company or the Holder or (2) one day after it is sent by overnight mail via nationally recognized courier or (3) on the same day as sent via confirmed e-mail or facsimile transmission, provided that the original is sent by personal delivery or mail by the sending party. Address for such notice will be provided by each party to the other under separate cover.

 

13.       Miscellaneous.

 

(a)       This Warrant shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Subject to the preceding sentence, nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to give to any Person other than the Company and the Holder any legal or equitable right, remedy or cause of action under this Warrant. This Warrant may be amended only in writing signed by the Company and the Holder and their successors and assigns.

 

 

Purchase Agreement

 

Page B-5

 

 

 

(b)       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 Minnesota, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.

 

(c)       The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Warrant and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

 

(d)       In case any one or more of the provisions of this Warrant shall be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Warrant shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt in good faith to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision which shall be a commercially reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Warrant.

 

(e)       Prior to exercise of this Warrant, the Holder hereof shall not, by reason of being a Holder, be entitled to any rights of a stockholder with respect to the Warrant Shares.

 

14.       19.999% Blocker. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the number of Warrant Shares that may be acquired by the Holder upon any exercise of this Warrant (or otherwise in respect hereof) shall be limited to the extent necessary to insure that, following such exercise (or other issuance), the total number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Holder and its affiliates (as defined under Rule 144, “Affiliates”) and any other persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, does not exceed 19.999% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise).  For such purposes, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.  This provision shall not restrict the number of shares of Common Stock which a Holder may receive or beneficially own in order to determine the amount of securities or other consideration that such Holder may receive in the event of a Fundamental Transaction as contemplated in Section 9 of this Warrant.  This restriction may not be waived without shareholder approval.

(b)       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Warrant, in the event of a Change of Control, (i) at Company’s sole option unless (ii) the Change of Control results in the Company no longer having a class of securities registered under Section 12 or Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in which case such determination shall be made automatically, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant in exchange for a number of shares of Company’s securities, such number of securities being equal to the maximum number of securities issuable pursuant to the terms hereof (after taking into account all adjustments described herein) had the Holder elected to exercise this Warrant immediately prior to the closing of such Change of Control and purchased all such shares pursuant to the cashless exercise provision set forth in Section 10(b) (as opposed to the cash exercise provision set forth in Section 10(a)). The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Holder shall not be required to make any additional payment (cash or otherwise) for such shares as further consideration for their issuance in exchange for the Holder’s surrender of this Warrant pursuant to the terms of the preceding sentence.

5.       Delivery of Warrant Shares.

 

(a)       To effect exercises hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant unless the aggregate Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant are being exercised. Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice (in the form attached hereto) to the Company (with the attached Warrant Shares Exercise Log) at its address for notice set forth herein and upon payment of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares that the Holder intends to purchase hereunder, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than two Trading Days after the Date of Exercise (as defined herein)) issue and deliver to the Holder, a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise. A “Date of Exercise” means each of (A) the date of a Change of Control and (B) the date on which the Holder shall have delivered to the Company: (i) the Exercise Notice (with the Warrant Exercise Log attached to it), appropriately completed and duly signed and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares so indicated by the Holder to be purchased.

 

(b)       If by the third Trading Day after a Date of Exercise the Company fails to deliver the required number of Warrant Shares in the manner required pursuant to Section 5(a), then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.

 

6.       Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.

7.       Replacement of Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity (which shall not include a surety bond), if requested. Applicants for a New Warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may prescribe. If a New Warrant is requested as a result of a mutilation of this Warrant, then the Holder shall deliver such mutilated Warrant to the Company as a condition precedent to the Company’s obligation to issue the New Warrant.

 

8.       Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 9). The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.

 

9.       Certain Adjustments. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 9.

 

(a)       Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to equal the product obtained by multiplying the then-current Exercise Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination.

 

(b)       Fundamental Transactions. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding there is a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (the “Alternate Consideration”). 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. Any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant substantially in the form of this Warrant and consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to purchase the Alternate Consideration for the aggregate Exercise Price upon exercise thereof.

(c)       Number of Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section, the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the adjusted number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.

 

(d)       Calculations. All calculations under this Section shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.

 

(e)       Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section, the Company at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the Company’s Transfer Agent.

 

10.       Payment of Exercise Price. The Holder may pay the Exercise Price in one of the following manners:

 

(a)       Cash Exercise. The Holder may deliver immediately available funds; or

 

(b)       Cashless Exercise. Solely pursuant to a Company Exercise, the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares determined as follows:

 

X = Y [(A-B)/A]

 

where:

 

X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder.

 

Y = the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised.

 

A = the average of the Closing Prices for the five Trading Days immediately prior to (but not including) the Exercise Date.

 

B = the Exercise Price.

 

11.       No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Warrant Shares will be issued in connection with any exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any fractional shares which would, otherwise be issuable, the Company shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the Closing Price of one Warrant Share on the date of exercise.

 

12.       Notices. Any notice required or permitted under this Warrant (including, without limitation, any Exercise Notice) shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon the earlier of (1) actual receipt or three days after mailing if mailed postage prepaid by regular or airmail to the Company or the Holder or (2) one day after it is sent by overnight mail via nationally recognized courier or (3) on the same day as sent via confirmed e-mail or facsimile transmission, provided that the original is sent by personal delivery or mail by the sending party. Address for such notice will be provided by each party to the other under separate cover.

 

13.       Miscellaneous.

 

(a)       This Warrant shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Subject to the preceding sentence, nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to give to any Person other than the Company and the Holder any legal or equitable right, remedy or cause of action under this Warrant. This Warrant may be amended only in writing signed by the Company and the Holder and their successors and assigns.

(b)       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 Minnesota, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.

 

(c)       The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Warrant and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

 

(d)       In case any one or more of the provisions of this Warrant shall be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Warrant shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt in good faith to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision which shall be a commercially reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Warrant.

 

(e)       Prior to exercise of this Warrant, the Holder hereof shall not, by reason of being a Holder, be entitled to any rights of a stockholder with respect to the Warrant Shares.

 

14.       19.999% Blocker. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the number of Warrant Shares that may be acquired by the Holder upon any exercise of this Warrant (or otherwise in respect hereof) shall be limited to the extent necessary to insure that, following such exercise (or other issuance), the total number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Holder and its affiliates (as defined under Rule 144, “Affiliates”) and any other persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, does not exceed 19.999% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise).  For such purposes, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.  This provision shall not restrict the number of shares of Common Stock which a Holder may receive or beneficially own in order to determine the amount of securities or other consideration that such Holder may receive in the event of a Fundamental Transaction as contemplated in Section 9 of this Warrant.  This restriction may not be waived without shareholder approval.
