UNSECURED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

 

$[●]   [●], 2014 

 
For Value Received, Wireless Ronin Technologies, Inc., a Minnesota corporation
(“Maker”), hereby promises to pay to the order of [●], or its successors, heirs
or assigns (“Holder”), in lawful money of the United States of America, the
principal sum of $[●], together with interest on the outstanding principal
amount under this Unsecured Convertible Promissory Note (this “Note”)
outstanding from time to time.

1.           Purpose.  This Note is one of a series of 10% Unsecured Convertible
Promissory Notes (collectively, the “Notes”) made and delivered by Maker
pursuant to the terms of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the
“Purchase Agreement”) dated as of [●], 2014 (the “Original Issue Date”), by and
among Maker and the purchasers of the Notes thereunder (collectively, the
“Holders”).  All capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the
meanings ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement.

2.           Interest.  Interest on the principal amount of this Note shall
accrue from the date hereof until payment in full of all amounts payable
hereunder at an annual rate equal to ten percent (10%) (the “Interest Rate”),
and be payable upon the earlier of the Maturity Date, as defined below, or
conversion or repayment pursuant to Section 5.  Interest shall be calculated on
the basis of a 365-day year, based on the actual number of days elapsed.

3.           Maturity Date.  Unless converted by Holder pursuant to the terms of
Section 5, the principal amount of this Note, together with all accrued but
unpaid interest thereon, shall be due and payable in full on [●], 2015
(“Maturity Date”).  [Insert: 18 months from Original Issue Date]

4.           Prepayment.  On or after three months after the Original Issue
Date, Maker may prepay all or any portion of the outstanding principal balance
or accrued but unpaid interest hereunder without premium or penalty.

5.           Conversion; Repayment.

5.1           Optional Conversion.  The unpaid principal amount of this Note or
any accrued but unpaid interest thereon may at any time be converted, in whole
or in part from time to time, at the option of the Holder, into shares of the
common stock, $0.01 par value of Wireless Ronin Technologies, Inc. (the “Common
Stock”) at a conversion price of $0.65 per share (the “Conversion Price”),
subject to adjustment pursuant to Sections 5.3 and 5.5, if and as applicable.

 
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
5.2           Conversion Procedure.  Upon conversion of this Note into shares of
Common Stock pursuant to Section 5.1, Holder shall surrender this Note to Maker
accompanied by an executed conversion notice, the form of which is attached
hereto as Exhibit A (the “Conversion Notice”).  The Conversion Notice shall
state the name or names (with address(es)) in which the certificate or
certificates for shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the
“Conversion Shares”) shall be issued, and the amount of principal and accrued
interest to be converted.  As soon as practicable after the receipt of such
Conversion Notice and the surrender of this Note, Maker shall (a) issue and
deliver to the Holder one or more certificates for the Conversion Shares, (b)
provide for any fractional shares as provided in Section 5.4, and (c) if such
conversion is of less than the entire balance of principal and accrued and
unpaid interest hereunder, issue and deliver to Holder a replacement Note in
substantially the form of this Note, in the amount of the balance not
converted.  Such conversion shall be deemed to have been effected as of the
earliest date (the “Conversion Date”) upon which both (i) the Conversion Notice
shall have been received by Maker and (ii) this Note shall have been surrendered
as aforesaid.  Upon the Conversion Date, the Holder’s rights under this Note
shall cease (to the extent this Note is so converted) and the person or persons
in whose name or names any certificates for the Conversion Shares shall be
issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder(s) of
record of such Conversion Shares.

5.3           Equitable Adjustment.  If Maker, at any time while this Note is
outstanding, shall (a) pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or
distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity
equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock, (b) subdivide
outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (c) combine
(including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a smaller number of shares, or (d) issue shares of capital stock by
reclassification or conversion of shares of the Common Stock or any class of
preferred stock, then the Conversion Price shall be equitably adjusted based
upon the proportionate increase of outstanding shares resulting from such action
(e.g., if shares of capital stock increase by 2.0%, the Conversion Price shall
be decreased by the same percentage).  Any adjustment made pursuant to this
Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the
determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend, distribution or
actual conversion and shall become effective immediately after the effective
date in the case of a subdivision, conversion, combination or re-classification.

5.4           Fractional Shares.  No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be
issuable upon conversion of this Note, but a payment in cash will be made in
respect of any fraction of a share which would otherwise be issuable upon the
surrender of this Note, or portion hereof, for conversion.

5.5           Mandatory Conversion; Full Ratchet Adjustment.

(a)           The unpaid principal amount of this Note and any accrued but
unpaid interest will be mandatorily and automatically converted upon Maker
sending a written notice of conversion, together with an accounting of such
conversion, to Holder within ten days of any the following events:  (i) on or
after 12 months after the Original Issuance Date, the average price of the
Common Stock on any exchange or trading platform is equal to or greater than
$1.50 for at least 20 consecutive trading days; or (ii) Maker consummates any
Change in Control Transaction, as defined below.  In the event that Maker
consummates a Change in Control Transaction, the Conversion Price shall be
adjusted pursuant to paragraph (d) below.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
(b)           For purposes of this Note, a “Change in Control Transaction” will
mean the occurrence, in a single transaction or in a series of related
transactions, of any one or more of the following events:  (i) any Exchange Act
Person, as defined below, becomes the owner, directly or indirectly, of
securities of Maker representing more than 50% of the combined voting power of
Maker’s then-outstanding securities by virtue of a merger, consolidation or
similar transaction; or (ii) there is consummated a merger, consolidation or
similar transaction involving Maker (specifically including any triangular
merger or consolidation) and, immediately after the consummation of such
transaction, the shareholders of Maker immediately prior thereto do not own,
directly or indirectly, either (A) outstanding voting securities representing
more than 50% of the combined outstanding voting power of the surviving entity
in such merger, consolidation or similar transaction or (B) more than 50% of the
combined outstanding voting power of the parent of the surviving entity in such
merger, consolidation or similar transaction.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a
Change in Control Transaction will not be deemed to occur (1) on account of the
acquisition of securities of Maker by an investor, any affiliate thereof or any
other Exchange Act Person acquiring Maker’s securities in a transaction or
series of related transactions the primary purpose of which is to obtain
financing through the issuance of equity securities, or (2) solely because or to
the extent that the level of ownership held by any Exchange Act Person exceeds
the designated percentage threshold of the outstanding voting securities as a
result of a repurchase or other acquisition of voting securities by Maker,
thereby reducing the number of shares outstanding.

(c)           For purposes of this Note, “Exchange Act Person” shall mean any
Person, as defined in Section 5.6 below, plus any individual natural person or
“group” within the meaning of Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934; provided, however, that “Exchange Act Person” will not
include:  (i) Maker or any subsidiary of Maker; (ii) any employee benefit plan
of Maker or any subsidiary of Maker or any trustee or other fiduciary holding
securities under an employee-benefit plan of Maker or any subsidiary of Maker;
(iii) an underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering of
such securities; (iv) any Person owned, directly or indirectly, by the
shareholders of Maker in substantially the same proportions as their ownership
of capital stock of Maker; or (v) any Person, individual natural person or
“group” that, as of the Original Issue Date, is the owner, directly or
indirectly, of securities of Maker representing more than 50% of the combined
voting power of Maker’s then-outstanding securities.

(d)           Upon the consummation of the first—and only the first—Change in
Control Transaction (excluding for this purpose any Change in Control
Transaction deemed to have arisen by virtue of the pending merger transaction
between Maker and Broadcast International, Inc.), the Conversion Price shall be
adjusted (downward but not upward) to match the lowest price at which Maker
shall have sold any Common Stock in connection with such Change in Control
Transaction (including for this purpose the price at which Common Stock may be
acquired upon the conversion of any convertible equity or equity-linked
securities that are sold in connection with such Change in Control Transaction);
provided, however, that the issuance by Maker, to any employees, directors or
consultants of Maker, of any options or warrants to purchase Common Stock shall
not in any event result in an adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to
this paragraph.

 
3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
5.6           Fundamental Transactions.  If, at any time while the Notes are
outstanding, (i) Maker effects, directly or indirectly in one or more related
transactions, any merger or consolidation of Maker with or into another
corporation, partnership, incorporated entity, unincorporated entity or
association, or trust (“Person”), (ii) Maker effects, directly or indirectly in
one or more related transactions, any sale, lease, license, assignment,
transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its
assets, (iii) any direct or indirect purchase offer, tender offer or exchange
offer (whether by Maker or any third party) 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 the holders of 50% or more of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock have accepted such offer, (iv) Maker effects,
directly or indirectly in one or more related transactions, 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, or (v) Maker
consummates, directly or indirectly in one or more related transactions, a
business combination (including without limitation a reorganization,
recapitalization, spin-off) with another Person or Persons whereby such other
Person or Persons 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 business combination) (each, a “Fundamental
Transaction”), then at Holder’s option, the principal and accrued but unpaid
interest of this Note shall be due and immediately payable upon closing of the
Fundamental Transaction (or in the case of a Fundamental Transaction with
multiple closings, the initial closing).  Notwithstanding anything in this
Section 5.6 to the contrary, in the event of a Change in Control Transaction,
all amounts owing under this Note shall be converted pursuant the provisions of
Section 5.5.

6.           Priority.  Maker represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that
the Notes are senior to or pari passu in right of payment with any existing
indebtedness of Maker as of the issuance date of the Notes; provided, however,
that the Notes are subordinate to Maker’s existing indebtedness to Silicon
Valley Bank pursuant to that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated March 18,
2010, as amended from time to time (including any refinancings and substitutions
thereof).

7.           Defaults.

7.1           Events of Default.  The occurrence of any one or more of the
following events shall constitute an event of default hereunder (“Event of
Default”):

when due under this Note, which failure continues for a period of five days;

(b)           Maker fails to observe and perform any other covenant or agreement

same or provide for its discharge in accordance with its terms, or procure a
stay of execution thereon within 60 days from the date of entry thereof and
within said period of 60 days, or such longer period, during which execution of
such judgment shall have been stayed, appeal therefrom and cause the execution
thereof to be stayed during such appeal.

7.2           Notice by Maker.  Maker shall notify Holder in writing as soon as
