Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Cool Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) closed a private placement (the “Private Placement”) of $3,257,000 of 12% unsecured convertible notes (the “Notes”) issued to investors in various tranches. The first tranche of Notes, for gross proceeds of $783,500 closed on September 20, 2019.  The second tranche of Notes, for gross proceeds of $1,500,000 closed on September 23, 2019. A third tranche of Notes, for gross proceeds of $973,500 closed on September 24, 2019.  The Notes mature 12 months from the date of issuance. The Company intends to seek shareholder and regulatory approvals needed to enable the Notes and unpaid accrued interest to be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Equity Securities”) at a price that is 30% below the volume weighted average price for the twenty trading days immediately prior to the date on which such approval is obtained (the “Approval Date”).  Upon receipt of the required approvals, the principal and unpaid accrued interest of the Notes shall be converted on the Approval Date.

 Investors in the Notes also received warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase such number of common shares that is equal to the aggregate principal of the Notes held by such investor divided by the price that is 30% below the twenty-day volume weighted average price of the Company’s Equity Securities immediately prior to the Approval Date.  The Warrants are exercisable once shareholder and other required regulatory approvals are obtained on the Approval Date, and expire 36 months from the date of issuance.

The Notes were issued in the United States pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”).  The Notes were also issued offshore pursuant to Rule 903 of Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act.

 

The foregoing is a summary of certain material terms and conditions of the Notes and the Warrants, and is not a complete description thereof. Accordingly, the foregoing is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Unsecured Convertible Note and the form of Warrant attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.01

Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On September 25, 2019, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of Simply Mac, Inc. (“Simply Mac”) pursuant to the stock purchase agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), dated as of May 9, 2019, as amended, by and among the Company, Simply Mac and GameStop Corp. (the “Seller”).  Upon the completion of the transaction, Simply Mac became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Simply Mac, a company based in Salt Lake City, Utah (the “Stock Purchase”).  The total consideration for the Stock Purchase was $12,684,192.  Of the total consideration, $5,154,700 was paid in cash, of which $345,000 was deposited by the Company with an escrow agent pursuant to an escrow agreement dated September 25, 2019, to secure the Seller’s indemnity obligations to the Company under the Stock Purchase Agreement.  The remaining $7,529,492 was paid by the issuance of a promissory note, reimbursement and indemnification agreement and security agreement (the “Promissory Note”) representing the value of Simply Mac’s inventory as of closing, subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, in favor of the Seller.

The Promissory Note carries interest at a rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum, payable in four quarterly installment payments equal to twenty five percent (25%) of the Promissory Note principal amount, plus all accrued and unpaid interest through such date. As security for the payment of all obligations under the Promissory Note and certain outstanding guarantees of Seller to Apple Inc. that are to be terminated post-closing, the Company has granted to Seller a security interest in substantially all of its assets. The Promissory Note matures upon the earlier of (i) September 25, 2020, (ii) upon the occurrence of an event of default or (iii) certain changes in control of the Company.  The promissory note contains customary covenants, representations and warranties and events of default.  As additional security for the Company’s obligations under the Promissory Note, all of the Company’s subsidiaries have guaranteed the Company’s obligations under the note, remain jointly and severally liable for all payment obligations under the note and have each granted to Seller a security interest in substantially all of their respective assets.

The foregoing is a summary of certain material terms and conditions of the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Promissory Note, and is not a complete description thereof. Accordingly, the foregoing is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Stock Purchase Agreement attached as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s May 9, 2019 Current Report on Form 8-K, the Amended and Restated Letter Agreement dated July 12, 2019 among the Company, Simply Mac and Seller attached as Exhibit 10.01 to the Company’s July 12, 2019 Current Report on Form 8-K and the form of Promissory Note attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1, both of which are incorporated herein by reference.

THESE WARRANTS MAY NOT BE EXERCISED IN THE UNITED STATES OR BY OR ON BEHALF OF, OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OR BENEFIT OF, A U.S. PERSON UNLESS THIS SECURITY AND THE COMMON SHARES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THIS SECURITY HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT AND THE APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LEGISLATION OR AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS IS AVAILABLE. “UNITED STATES” AND “U.S. PERSON” ARE AS DEFINED BY REGULATION S UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

COOL HOLDINGS, INC.

 

 

 

 

 

Issue Date: September [   ], 2019

THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received, [                    ] (the “Holder”) is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the Approval Date (as defined below) (the “Exercisability Date”) and on or prior to the close of business on the third anniversary of the Original Issue Date (the “Termination Date”) but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from Cool Holdings, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), up to a specified number of shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.001 (the “Common Stock”), of the Company. This Warrant is issued in connection with the issuance of a $[             ] unsecured convertible note (the “Note”) in favor of Holder.  The Company intends to seek shareholder and other required regulatory approval to enable the conversion price of the Warrant (the “Conversion Price”) to be set at the amount that is 30% below the twenty-day volume weighted average price of the Common Stock immediately prior to the date such approvals are obtained (the “Approval Date”).  On the Approval Date, the Company will set the number of Warrant Shares at the number that is equal to the principal amount of the Note divided by the Conversion Price.

Section 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings given to them herein. As used herein, “Original Issue Date” means September [   ], 2019 and “business day” means any day on which NASDAQ, Inc. is open for trading.

Section 2. Exercise.

a) Exercise of Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Exercisability Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company) of a duly executed facsimile copy of the Notice of Exercise Form annexed hereto; and, within three (3) business days of the date said Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company, the Company shall have received payment of the aggregate Exercise Price of the shares thereby purchased by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) business days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares

 

 


 

purchased and the date of such purchases. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

b) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under this Warrant shall be the Conversion Price (the “Exercise Price”).

c) Mechanics of Exercise.

i. Delivery of Certificates Upon Exercise. Certificates for shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the transfer agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective Registration Statement covering the issuance of the Warrant Shares to the Holder or (B) otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise, in either case, by the date that is three (3) business days after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise Form (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised on the first date on which all of the foregoing have been delivered to the Company. The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been properly exercised, with payment to the Company of the Exercise Price and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2(c)(vi) prior to the issuance of such shares, having been paid.

ii. Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of the Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.

iii. Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the transfer agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or the certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(c)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then, the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.

iv. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.

v. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event certificates for Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.

vi. Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.

d) Holder’s Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together

 

 


 

with the Holder or any of the Holder’s affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company including, without limitation, any other securities of the Company or any Company subsidiary consolidated in the Company’s financial statements which would entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time Common Stock (“Common Stock Equivalents”) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(d) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination and shall have no liability for exercises of the Warrant that are in non-compliance with the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(d), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two (2) business days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding as established by (A), (B) or (C) above, as applicable. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(d), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(d) shall continue to apply. Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company and shall only be effective with respect to such Holder. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(d) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

Section 3. Certain Adjustments.

a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant or any

 

 


 

other warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

b) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (other than as provided for under Section 3(a)), or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person whereby such other Person acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(d) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(d) on the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of clarity, no bona fide underwritten offering of the Company’s securities will be deemed to be a Fundamental Transaction. 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.

The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(e) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder

 

 


 

to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.

(c) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

(d) Notice to Holder.

i. Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

ii. Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If during the term in which this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least ten (10) calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

Section 4. Transfer of Warrant.

Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form

 

 


 

attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.

b) New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney.

All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall include reference to the initial issuance date set forth on the first page of this Warrant and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto and the Warrant number.

c) Warrant Register. 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. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual written notice to the contrary.

Section 5. Miscellaneous.

a) No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(c)(i).

b) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it, and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.

c) Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a business day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding business day.

d) Authorized Shares. The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. “Trading Market” means any of the following markets or exchanges on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted for trading on the date in question: the NYSE AMEX, the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the New York Stock Exchange or the OTC Bulletin Board (or any successors to any of the foregoing). The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).

 

 


 

Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

e) Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

f) Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.

g) Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant, if the Company or the Holder willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the other party, then such party shall pay to the other party such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by such party in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.

h) Notices. The Company shall provide the Holder with prompt written notice of all actions taken pursuant to this Warrant.  Whenever notice is required to be given under this Warrant, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be given in writing, will be mailed (a) if within the domestic United States by first-class registered or certified airmail, or nationally recognized overnight express courier, postage prepaid, or by facsimile or (b) if delivered from outside the United States, by International Federal Express or facsimile, and (c) will be deemed given (i) if delivered by first-class registered or certified mail domestic, three business days after so mailed, (ii) if delivered by nationally recognized overnight carrier, one business day after so mailed, (iii) if delivered by International Federal Express, two business days after so mailed and (iv) if delivered by facsimile, upon electronic confirmation of receipt, and will be delivered and addressed as follows:

P.Each Obligor has good and valid title to, or, in the case of leased properties and assets of such Obligor, valid leasehold interests in, all of such Obligor’s properties and assets, real, personal and mixed, used or held for use in its business, free and clear of any Liens, except (a) as reflected in the most recent balance sheet included in the SEC Reports and (b) the Permitted Liens.  

Q.Except as set forth on Schedule 4.8 of the Purchaser Disclosure Schedule, there is no Action (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) of any nature pending or, to the Knowledge (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) of Cool Holdings, threatened against any Obligor or its properties and assets (tangible or intangible) or any of its officers or directors (in their capacities as such).  No Governmental Entity (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) is currently challenging or questioning the legal right of any Obligor to conduct its operations as presently conducted.  There is no Action of any nature pending or, to the Knowledge of Cool Holdings, threatened against any Person who

 

 

 

 


has a contractual right or a right pursuant to Maryland law or other applicable law to indemnification from an Obligor related to facts and circumstances existing prior to the Closing.

14.Remedies.

A.If an Event of Default exists under Section 13(E) hereof, the entire unpaid principal balance outstanding hereunder plus any and all interest accrued and unpaid thereon shall become due and payable immediately without presentment, demand notice of nonpayment, protest, or other notice of dishonor, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Obligors.

C.Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Payee may request that Obligors direct that all Receivables be paid directly to a lock box account established with, or for the benefit of, Payee.

D.Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, each Obligor shall hold in trust (and not commingle with its other assets) for Payee all Collateral that is Chattel Paper, Instruments or Documents at any time received by it and promptly deliver same to Payee, unless Payee at its option gives such Obligor written permission to retain such Collateral; at Payee’s reasonable request, each contract, Chattel Paper, Instrument or Document so retained shall be marked to state that it is assigned to Payee and each instrument shall be endorsed to the order of Payee (but failure to so mark or endorse shall not impair the security interest of Payee created hereunder);

E.For the purpose of enabling Payee to exercise rights and remedies under this Section 14 (including in order to take possession of, collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate, remove, realize upon, sell, assign, convey, transfer or grant options to purchase any Collateral) at such time as Payee shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies after the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, each Obligor hereby grants to Payee (i) a nonexclusive, worldwide license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Obligor), including in such license the right to sublicense, to use and practice any intellectual property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Obligor and access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof and (ii) a license (without payment of rent or other compensation to such Obligor) to use, operate and occupy all real estate of such Obligor, in each case, until this Note is paid in full or otherwise terminated.

exercise, all or any of the following powers with respect to all or any of such Obligor’s Collateral (to the extent necessary to cause the obligations of such Obligor hereunder to be paid in full) following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:

i.to demand, sue for, collect, receive and give acquittance for any and all monies due or to become due upon or by virtue thereof;

ii.to settle, compromise, compound, prosecute or defend any action or proceeding with respect thereto;

iii.to take control of, sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of the same or the Proceeds thereof, as fully and effectually as if Payee were the absolute owner thereof;

iv.to sign or endorse Obligor’s name on (A) any original certificate of title in respect of any Collateral that is subject to certificate of title statutes, or (B) any application for a new or a replacement certificate of title or other document or instrument to be filed in any official filing, recording, registration or certificate-of-title system covering any of the Collateral;

v.to extend the time of payment of any or all thereof and to make any allowance or other adjustment with reference thereto;

vi.to endorse Obligor’s name on any notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment on Collateral that may come into Payee’s possession;

vii.to sign Obligor’s name on any invoice or bill of lading relating thereto, on any drafts against Account Debtors or other Persons making payment with respect thereto, on assignments and verifications of accounts or other Collateral and on notices to Account Debtors or other Persons making payment with respect thereto;

viii.to send requests for verification of obligations to any Account Debtor;

ix.grant or issue any exclusive or non-exclusive irrevocable or revocable, royalty-bearing or royalty-free license under any intellectual property used on or in connection with the sale of any Inventory to anyone, including the Payee itself, including but not limited to a license or other right to use such Obligors’ labels, advertising matter, or any property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale and selling any Inventory or other Collateral, and such Obligors’ rights under all contracts, licenses, approvals, permits, leases and franchise agreements, to the extent assignable, shall inure to the Payee’s benefit, and

x.to do all other acts and things reasonably necessary to carry out the intent of this Note;

provided, however, that except in the case of Collateral that is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market Payee will give Obligors at least 10 days’ prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale thereof or the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition thereof will be made.  If, following the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, any Account Debtor fails to make payment on any Collateral when due, Payee is authorized, in its sole discretion, either in its own name or in any Obligor’s name, to take such action as Payee reasonably shall deem necessary for the collection of any amounts owed with respect to Collateral or upon which a delinquency exists.  Regardless of any other provision of this Note, however, Payee shall not be liable for its failure to collect, or for its failure to exercise diligence in the collection of, any amounts owed with respect to Collateral except for its own gross negligence or willful

 

 

 

 


misconduct, nor shall it be under any duty to anyone except any Obligor to account for funds that it shall actually receive under this Note.  A receipt given by Payee to Account Debtor shall be a full and complete release, discharge, and acquittance to such Account Debtor, to the extent of any amount so paid to Payee.  Payee may apply or set off amounts paid and the deposits against any liability of any Obligor to Payee.

H.Payee’s sale of less than all the Collateral shall not exhaust Payee’s rights under this Note and Payee is specifically empowered, after the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, to make successive sales until all the Collateral is sold.  If the proceeds of a sale of less than all the Collateral shall be less than the outstanding obligations of Obligors hereunder, this Note and the security interest shall remain in full force and effect as to the unsold portion of the Collateral just as though no sale had been made.  In the event any sale under this Note is not completed or is, in Payee’s opinion, defective, such sale shall not exhaust Payee’s rights under this Note and Payee shall have the right to cause a subsequent sale or sales to be made.  Any and all statements of fact or other recitals made in any bill of sale or assignment or other instrument evidencing any foreclosure sale under this Note as to nonpayment of the obligations of Obligors hereunder, or as to the occurrence of any Event of Default, or as to Payee’s having declared all of such obligations to be due and payable, or as to notice of time, place and terms of sale and the properties to be sold having been duly given, or as to any other act or thing having been duly done by Payee, shall be taken as prima facie evidence of the truth of the facts so stated and recited. Payee may appoint or delegate any one or more Persons as agent to perform any act or acts necessary or incident to any sale held by Payee, including the sending of notices and the conduct of sale, but such acts must be done in the name and on behalf of Payee.  

I.In addition to any and all other rights afforded to Payee in this Section 14, Payee may exercise all the rights of a Payee under the UCC (whether or not in effect in the jurisdiction where such rights are exercised) with respect to any Collateral and, if cash shall be insufficient to pay all of the obligations of Obligors hereunder in full, sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof in accordance with the provisions of the UCC.  Notice of any such sale or other disposition shall be given to Obligors as required under this Section 14.

J.No right or remedy conferred upon or reserved to Payee hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and each and every such right or remedy shall be cumulative and concurrent, and in addition to every other such right or remedy, and may be pursued singly, concurrently, successively or otherwise, at the sole discretion of Payee, and shall not be exhausted by any one exercise thereof but may be exercised as often as occasions therefore shall occur.

15.Assignment.  This Note may be freely assigned by Payee.  The obligations of Obligors under this Note may not be assigned without the prior written consent of Payee.

16.Notices.  All notices required to be given to any of the parties hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given for all purposes when delivered in person or upon confirmation of receipt when transmitted by facsimile transmission (but only if followed by transmittal by national overnight courier or hand for delivery on the next Business Day) or on receipt after dispatch by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed, or on the next business day if transmitted by national overnight courier, in each case as follows:

7.Investment of Funds. Based upon Depositor’s and Recipient’s prior review of investment alternatives, in the absence of further specific written direction to the contrary at any time that an investment decision must be made, Escrow Agent is directed to invest and reinvest the Escrow Funds in the investment identified in Schedule [        ]. If applicable, Depositor and Recipient acknowledge receipt from Escrow Agent of a current copy of the prospectus for the investment identified in Schedule [        ]. Depositor and Recipient may deliver to Escrow Agent a Joint Written Direction changing the investment of the Escrow Funds, upon which direction Escrow Agent shall conclusively rely without inquiry or investigation; provided, however, that Depositor and Recipient warrant that no investment or reinvestment direction shall be given except in the following:  (a) direct obligations of the United States of America or obligations the principal of and the interest on which are unconditionally guaranteed by the United States of America; (b) U.S. dollar denominated deposit accounts and certificates of deposit issued by any bank, bank and trust company, or national banking association (including Escrow Agent and its affiliates), which are either (i) insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to FDIC limits, or (ii) with domestic commercial banks which have a rating on their short-term certificates of deposit on the date of purchase of at least “A-1” by S&P or “P-1” by Moody’s (ratings on holding companies are not considered as the rating of the bank); or (c) money market funds, including funds managed by Escrow Agent or any of its affiliates; provided further, however, that Escrow Agent will not be directed to invest in investments that Escrow Agent determines are not consistent with Escrow Agent’s policies or practices.

Similarly, Escrow Agent may be removed at any time by Depositor and Recipient giving at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Escrow Agent specifying the date when such removal shall take effect. If Depositor and Recipient fail to jointly appoint a successor Escrow Agent prior to the effective date of such resignation or removal, Escrow Agent may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor escrow agent, and all costs and expenses related to such petition shall be paid jointly and severally by Depositor and Recipient. The retiring Escrow Agent shall transmit all records pertaining to the Escrow Funds and shall pay all Escrow Funds to the successor Escrow Agent, after making copies of such records as the retiring Escrow Agent deems advisable and after deduction and payment to the retiring Escrow Agent of

 

 

 


 

 

 

all fees and expenses (including court costs and attorneys’ fees) payable to, incurred by, or expected to be incurred by the retiring Escrow Agent in connection with the performance of its duties and the exercise of its rights hereunder.

Escrow Agent under this Agreement. Nothing herein shall preclude Escrow Agent from acting in any other capacity for any other party hereto or for any other person or entity.

(h)In the event instructions, including funds transfer instructions, address change or change in contact information are given to Escrow Agent (other than in writing at the time of execution of this Agreement), whether in writing, by facsimile or otherwise, Escrow Agent is authorized but shall not be required to seek confirmation of such instructions by telephone call-back to the person or persons designated on Schedule [        ] hereto, and Escrow Agent may rely upon the confirmation of anyone purporting to be the person or persons so designated. The persons and telephone numbers for call-backs may be changed only in writing actually received and acknowledged by Escrow Agent and shall be effective only after Escrow Agent has a reasonable opportunity to act on such changes. If Escrow Agent is unable to contact any of the designated representatives identified in Schedule [        ], Escrow Agent is hereby authorized but shall be under no duty to seek confirmation of such instructions by telephone call-back to any one or more of Depositor’s or Recipient’s executive officers (“Executive Officers”), as the case may be, which shall include the titles of Chief Executive Officer, President and Vice President, as Escrow Agent may select. Such Executive Officer shall deliver to Escrow Agent a fully executed incumbency certificate, and Escrow Agent may rely upon the confirmation of anyone purporting to be any such officer.

Escrow Agent in any funds transfer may rely solely upon any account numbers or similar identifying numbers provided by Depositor or Recipient to identify (a) the beneficiary, (b) the beneficiary’s bank, or (c) an intermediary bank, even when its use may result in a person other than the beneficiary being paid, or the transfer of funds to a bank other than the beneficiary’s bank or an intermediary bank so designated.

Depositor and Recipient further agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify each Indemnified Party for all costs, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the enforcement of Depositor’s and Recipient’s obligations hereunder. Each Indemnified Party shall, in its sole discretion, have the right to select and employ separate counsel with respect to any action or claim brought or asserted against it, and

 

 

 


 

 

 

the reasonable fees of such counsel shall be paid upon demand by Depositor and Recipient jointly and severally. The obligations of Depositor and Recipient under this Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of Escrow Agent.

12.Compensation of Escrow Agent.

(a)Fees and Expenses. Depositor and Recipient agree, jointly and severally, to compensate Escrow Agent upon demand for its services hereunder in accordance with Schedule [        ] attached hereto. Without limiting the joint and several nature of their obligations to Escrow Agent, Depositor and Recipient agree between themselves that Depositor and Recipient will each be responsible for 50% of the Escrow Agent’s compensation. The obligations of Depositor and Recipient under this Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of Escrow Agent.

(b)Disbursements from Escrow Funds to Pay Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent is authorized to, and may disburse to itself from the Escrow Funds, from time to time, the amount of any compensation and reimbursement of expenses due and payable hereunder (including any amount to which Escrow Agent or any Indemnified Party is entitled to seek indemnification hereunder). Escrow Agent shall notify Depositor and Recipient of any such disbursement from the Escrow Funds to itself or any Indemnified Party and shall furnish Depositor and Recipient copies of related invoices and other statements.

(c)Security and Offset. Depositor and Recipient hereby grant to Escrow Agent and the Indemnified Parties a first priority security interest in, lien upon and right of sale and offset against the Escrow Funds with respect to any compensation or reimbursement due any of them hereunder (including any claim for indemnification hereunder). If for any reason the Escrow Funds are insufficient to cover such compensation and reimbursement, Depositor and Recipient shall promptly pay such amounts upon receipt of an itemized invoice.

13.Representations and Warranties. Depositor and Recipient each respectively, and severally and not jointly, make the following representations and warranties to Escrow Agent:

(a)it has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder; and this Agreement has been duly approved by all necessary action and constitutes its valid and binding agreement enforceable in accordance with its terms.

(b)each of the applicable persons designated on Schedule [        ] attached hereto has been duly appointed to act as its authorized representative hereunder and individually has full power and authority on its behalf to execute and deliver any instruction or direction, to amend, modify or waive any provision of this Agreement and to take any and all other actions as its authorized representative under this Agreement and no change in designation of such authorized representatives shall be effective until written notice of such change is delivered to each other party

(c)the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Escrow Agent does not and will not violate any applicable law or regulation and no printed or other material in any language, including any prospectus, notice, report, and promotional material that mentions “U.S. Bank” or any of its affiliates by name or the rights, powers, or duties of Escrow Agent under this Agreement shall be issued by any other parties hereto, or on such party’s behalf, without the prior written consent of Escrow Agent.

(d)it will not claim any immunity from jurisdiction of any court, suit or legal process, whether from service of notice, injunction, attachment, execution or enforcement of any judgment or otherwise.

14.Identifying Information. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. For a non-individual person such as a business entity, a charity, a trust or other legal entity, Escrow Agent requires documentation to verify its formation and existence as a legal entity. Escrow Agent may require financial statements, licenses or identification and authorization documents from individuals claiming authority to represent the entity or other relevant documentation. Depositor and Recipient agree to provide all information requested by Escrow Agent in connection with any legislation or regulation to which Escrow Agent is subject, in a timely manner. Escrow Agent’s appointment and acceptance of its duties under this Agreement is contingent upon verification of all regulatory requirements applicable to Depositor, Recipient and any of their permitted assigns, including successful completion of a final background check. These conditions include, without limitation, requirements under the USA Patriot Act Customer Identification Program, the Bank Secrecy Act, and the U.S. Department of the Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control.

16.Amendment and Assignment. None of the terms or conditions of this Agreement may be changed, waived, modified, discharged, terminated or varied in any manner whatsoever unless in writing duly signed by each party to this Agreement.
