EXHIBIT 10.2
STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (VALUEVISION)
STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT, dated as of January 5, 1998 (the "Agreement"),
between VALUEVISION INTERNATIONAL, INC., a Minnesota corporation (the
"Grantee"), and NATIONAL MEDIA CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the
"Grantor").
WHEREAS, the Grantee, X-X HOLDINGS CORP., a newly-formed Delaware
corporation ("Parent"), and the Grantor are entering into an Agreement and Plan
of Reorganization and Merger, dated as of the date hereof (the "Merger
Agreement"), which provides, among other things, for the merger (the "National
Media Merger") of a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent with and into the Grantor
and the merger (the "ValueVision Merger") of another wholly-owned subsidiary of
Parent with and into the Grantee, such that the Grantor and the Grantee will
become wholly-owned subsidiaries of Parent and the stockholders of the Grantor
and the Grantee will become stockholders of Parent (the National Media Merger
and the ValueVision Merger collectively, the "Mergers");
WHEREAS, pursuant to a Stock Option Agreement dated as of the date
hereof between the Grantee and the Grantor, the Grantee has granted the Grantor
an option to acquire shares of common stock of the Grantee on terms that are
substantially similar to the terms of this Agreement (the "National Media
Option");
WHEREAS, as a condition and inducement to their willingness to enter
into the Merger Agreement and the National Media Option, the Grantee and Parent
have requested that the Grantor grant to the Grantee an option to purchase
5,075,979 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Grantor
(the "Common Stock"), upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof; and
WHEREAS, in order to induce the Grantee to enter into the Merger
Agreement and grant the National Media Option, the Grantor is willing to grant
the Grantee the requested option.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
covenants and agreements set forth herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. The Option; Exercise; Adjustments; Payment of Spread.
(a) Contemporaneously herewith the Grantee, Parent and the
Grantor are entering into the Merger Agreement. Subject to the other terms and
conditions set forth herein, the Grantor hereby grants to the Grantee an
irrevocable option (the "Option") to purchase up to 5,075,979 (as adjusted as
provided herein) shares of Common Stock (together with the associated purchase
rights issued with respect thereto pursuant to the Rights Agreement dated as of
January 3, 1994 between the Grantor and Mellon Securities Trust Company (the
"Grantor Rights Plan")) (the "Shares") at a per share cash purchase price equal
to the lower of (i) $3.4375 per Share or (ii) the average closing sales price
of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") Composite Tape for
the five consecutive trading days beginning on and
2
including the day that the Mergers are publicly announced (as adjusted as
provided herein) (such lower price being the "Purchase Price"). The Option may
be exercised by the Grantee, in whole or in part, at any time, or from time to
time, following the occurrence of one of the events set forth in Section 2(c)
hereof and prior to the termination of the Option in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement.
(b) In the event the Grantee wishes to exercise the Option,
the Grantee shall send a written notice to the Grantor (the "Stock Exercise
Notice") specifying a date (subject to the HSR Act (as defined below)) not
later than 10 business days and not earlier than the next business day
following the date such notice is given for the closing of such purchase. In
the event of any change in the number of issued and outstanding shares of
Common Stock by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, split-up,
reclassification, recapitalization, merger or other change in the corporate or
capital structure of the Grantor (including the occurrence of a Distribution
Date under the Grantor Rights Plan), the number of Shares subject to this
Option and the purchase price per Share shall be appropriately adjusted to
restore the Grantee to its rights hereunder, including its right to purchase
Shares representing 19.9% of the capital stock of the Grantor entitled to vote
generally for the election of the directors of the Grantor which is issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the exercise of the Option at an aggregate
purchase price equal to the Purchase Price multiplied by 5,075,979. In the
event that any additional shares of Common Stock are issued after the date of
this Agreement (other than pursuant to an event described in the preceding
sentence), the number of Shares subject to this Option shall be increased by
19.9% of the number of the additional shares of Common Stock so issued (and
such additional Shares shall have a purchase price per share equal to the
Purchase Price).
(c) If at any time the Option is then exercisable pursuant
to the terms of Section 1(a) hereof, the Grantee may elect, in lieu of
exercising the Option to purchase Shares provided in Section 1(a) hereof, to
send a written notice to the Grantor (the "Cash Exercise Notice") specifying a
date not later than 20 business days and not earlier than 10 business days
following the date such notice is given on which date the Grantor shall pay to
the Grantee an amount in cash equal to the Spread (as hereinafter defined)
multiplied by all or such portion of the Shares subject to the Option as
Grantee shall specify. As used herein "Spread" shall mean the excess, if any,
over the Purchase Price of the higher of (x) if applicable, the highest price
per share of Common Stock (including any brokerage commissions, transfer taxes
and soliciting dealers' fees) paid by any person in an Alternative Transaction
(as defined in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of Section 7.3(e) of the Merger
Agreement) (the "Alternative Purchase Price") or (y) the closing sales price of
the shares of Common Stock on the NYSE Composite Tape on the last trading day
immediately prior to the date of the Cash Exercise Notice (the "Closing
Price"). If the Alternative Purchase Price includes any property other than
cash, the Alternative Purchase Price shall be the sum of (i) the fixed cash
amount, if any, included in the Alternative Purchase Price plus (ii) the fair
market value of such other property. If such other property consists of
securities with an existing public trading market, the average of the closing
sales prices (or the average of the closing bid and asked prices if closing
sales prices are unavailable) for such securities in their principal public
trading market on the five trading days ending five days prior to the date of
the Cash Exercise Notice shall be deemed to equal the fair market value of such
2
3
property. If such other property consists of something other than cash or
securities with an existing public trading market and, as of the payment date
for the Spread, agreement on the value of such other property has not been
reached, the Alternative Purchase Price shall be deemed to equal the Closing
Price. Upon exercise of the Grantee's right to receive cash pursuant to this
Section 1(c) and the payment of such cash to the Grantee, the obligations of
the Grantor to deliver Shares pursuant to Section 3 shall be terminated with
respect to such number of Shares for which the Grantee shall have elected to be
paid the Spread.
2. Conditions to Delivery of Shares. The Grantor's obligation to
deliver Shares upon exercise of the Option is subject only to the conditions
that:
(a) No preliminary or permanent injunction or other order
issued by any federal or state court of competent jurisdiction in the United
States prohibiting the delivery of the Shares shall be in effect; and
(b) Any applicable waiting periods under the
Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Antitrust Improvements Act of 0000 (xxx "XXX Xxx") shall have
expired or been terminated and all other consents, approvals, orders,
notifications or authorizations, the failure of which to obtain or make would
have the effect of making the issuance of the Shares illegal (collectively, the
"Regulatory Approvals") shall have been obtained or made; and
(c) (i) a proposal for an Alternative Transaction involving
the Agreement is terminated pursuant to the terms thereof (the "Merger
Termination Date") and one or more of the following events shall have occurred
on or after the time of the making of such proposal: (A) the requisite vote of
the stockholders of the Grantor in favor of adoption and approval of the Merger
Agreement shall not have been obtained at the National Media Stockholders'
Meeting (as defined in Section 3.16 of the Merger Agreement) or any adjournment
or postponement thereof; (B) the Board of Directors of the Grantor shall have
withdrawn or modified its recommendation of the Merger Agreement or the
National Media Merger or failed to confirm its recommendation of the Merger
Agreement or the National Media Merger to the stockholders of the Grantor
within ten business days after a written request by the Grantee to do so; (C)
the Board of Directors of the Grantor shall have recommended to the
stockholders of the Grantor an Alternative Transaction; (D) a tender offer or
exchange offer for 20% or more of the outstanding shares of Grantor Common
Stock shall have been commenced (other than by the Grantee or an affiliate of
the Grantee) and the Board of Directors of the Grantor shall have recommended
that the stockholders of the Grantor tender their shares in such tender or
exchange offer; or (E) for any reason the Grantor shall have failed to call and
hold the National Media Stockholders' Meeting by the Outside Date (as defined
in Section 7.1(b) of the Merger Agreement); provided, however, that the Option
may not be exercised if the Grantee is in material breach of any of its
material representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this
Agreement or in the Merger Agreement; or (ii) the Merger Agreement shall have
been terminated by the Grantee pursuant to Section 7.1(g) of the Merger
Agreement.

3. The Closing.
(a) Any closing hereunder shall take place on the date
specified by the Grantee in its Stock Exercise Notice or Cash Exercise Notice,
as the case may be, at 11:00 A.M., Eastern Standard Time, at the offices of
Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx, 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000-0000, or, if
the conditions set forth in Section 2(a) or 2(b) have not then been satisfied,
on the second business day following the satisfaction of such conditions, or at
such other time and place as the parties hereto may agree (the "Closing Date").
On the Closing Date, (i) in the event of a closing pursuant to Section 1(b)
hereof, the Grantor will deliver to the Grantee a certificate or certificates,
duly endorsed (or accompanied by duly executed stock powers), representing the
Shares in the denominations designated by the Grantee in its Stock Exercise
Notice and the Grantee will purchase such Shares from the Grantor at the price
per Share equal to the Purchase Price or (ii) in the event of a closing
pursuant to Section 1(c) hereof, the Grantor will deliver to the Grantee cash
in an amount determined pursuant to Section 1(c) hereof. Any payment made by
the Grantee to the Grantor, or by the Grantor to the Grantee, pursuant to this
Agreement shall be made by certified or official bank check or by wire transfer
of federal funds to a bank designated by the party receiving such funds.
(b) The certificates representing the Shares may bear an
appropriate legend relating to the fact that such Shares have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").
4. Representations And Warranties of the Grantor. The Grantor
represents and warrants to the Grantee that (a) the Grantor is a corporation
duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
State of Delaware and has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter
into and perform this Agreement; (b) the execution and delivery of this
Agreement by the Grantor and the consummation by it of the transactions
contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by the Board of Directors of the
Grantor and this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by a duly
authorized officer of the Grantor and constitutes a valid and binding
obligation of the Grantor, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to
bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and
similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors'
rights and to general equity principles; (c) the Grantor has taken all
necessary corporate action to authorize and reserve the Shares issuable upon
exercise of the Option and the Shares, when issued and delivered by the Grantor
upon exercise of the Option, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully
paid and non-assessable and free of preemptive rights; (d) except as otherwise
required by the HSR Act and other than any filings required under the blue sky
laws of any states or by the NYSE, the execution and delivery of this Agreement
by the Grantor and the issuance of Shares upon exercise of the Option do not
require the consent, waiver, approval or authorization of or any filing with
any person or public authority and will not violate, result in a breach of or
the acceleration of any obligation under, or constitute a default under, any
provision of any charter or by-law, indenture, mortgage, lien, lease,
agreement, contract, instrument, order, law, rule, regulation, judgment,
ordinance, or decree, or restriction by which the Grantor or any of its
subsidiaries or any of their respective properties or assets is bound; (e) no
"fair price",
4
5
"moratorium", "control share acquisition" or other form of antitakeover statute
or regulation (including, without limitation, the restrictions on "business
combinations" set forth in Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law)
is or shall be applicable to the acquisition of Shares pursuant to this
Agreement (and the Board of Directors of Grantor has taken all action to
approve the acquisition of the Shares to the extent necessary to avoid such
application) and (f) the Grantor has taken all corporate action necessary so
that the grant and any subsequent exercise of the Option by the Grantee will
not result in the separation or exercisability of rights under the Grantor
Rights Plan.
5. Representations and Warranties of the Grantee. The Grantee
represents and warrants to the Grantor that (a) the execution and delivery of
this Agreement by the Grantee and the consummation by it of the transactions
contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action
on the part of the Grantee and this Agreement has been duly executed and
delivered by a duly authorized officer of the Grantee and will constitute a
valid and binding obligation of Grantee; and (b) the Grantee is acquiring the
Option after the Grantee has been afforded the opportunity to obtain, and has
obtained, sufficient information regarding the Grantor to make an informed
investment decision with respect to the Grantee's purchase of the Shares
issuable upon the exercise thereof, and, if and when the Grantee exercises the
Option, it will be acquiring the Shares issuable upon the exercise thereof for
its own account and not with a view to distribution or resale in any manner
which would be in violation of the Securities Act.
6. Listing of Shares; HSR Act Filings; Regulatory Approvals.
Subject to applicable law and the rules and regulations of the NYSE, the
Grantor will promptly file an application to have the Shares listed on the NYSE
and will use its best efforts to obtain approval of such quotation and to file
all necessary filings by the Grantor under the HSR Act, provided, however, that
if the Grantor is unable to effect such listing on the NYSE by the Closing
Date, the Grantor will nevertheless be obligated to deliver the Shares upon the
Closing Date. Each of the parties hereto will use its best efforts to obtain
consents of all third parties and all Regulatory Approvals, if any, necessary
to the consummation of the transactions contemplated.
7. Repurchase of Shares; Sale of Shares. At any time following the
Grantor's receipt of a Stock Exercise Notice, the Grantor shall have, on or
after the closing date of the purchase under the Stock Exercise Notice, the
right to purchase (the "Repurchase Right") all, but not less than all, of the
Shares then beneficially owned by the Grantee or any of its affiliates at a
price per share equal to the greater of (i) the Purchase Price, or (ii) the
average of the closing sales prices for shares of Common Stock on the twenty
trading days ending five days prior to the date the Grantor gives written
notice of its intention to exercise the Repurchase Right. If the Grantor does
not exercise the Repurchase Right within thirty days following the Grantor's
receipt of a Stock Exercise Notice, the Repurchase Right terminates. In the
event the Grantor wishes to exercise the Repurchase Right, the Grantor shall
send a written notice to the Grantee specifying a date (not later than 10
business days and not earlier than the next business day following the date
such notice is given) for the closing of such purchase.

8. Registration Rights.
(a) In the event that the Grantee shall desire to sell any
of the Shares within two years after the purchase of such Shares pursuant
hereto, and such sale requires, in the opinion of counsel to the Grantee, which
opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Grantor and its counsel,
registration of such Shares under the Securities Act, the Grantor will
cooperate with the Grantee and any underwriters in registering such Shares for
resale, including, without limitation, promptly filing a registration statement
which complies with the requirements of applicable federal and state securities
laws and entering into an underwriting agreement with such underwriters upon
such terms and conditions as are customarily contained in underwriting
agreements with respect to secondary distributions; provided that the Grantor
shall not be required to have declared effective more than two registration
statements hereunder and shall be entitled to delay the filing or effectiveness
of any registration statement for up to 120 days if the offering would, in the
judgment of the Board of Directors of the Grantor, require premature disclosure
of any material corporate development or otherwise interfere with or adversely
affect any pending or proposed offering of securities of the Grantor or any
other material transaction involving the Grantor.
(b) If the Common Stock is registered pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 8, the Grantor agrees (i) to furnish copies of the
registration statement and the prospectus relating to the Shares covered
thereby in such numbers as the Grantee may from time to time reasonably request
and (ii) if any event shall occur as a result of which it becomes necessary to
amend or supplement any registration statement or prospectus, to prepare and
file under the applicable securities laws such amendments and supplements as
may be necessary to keep effective for at least 180 days a prospectus covering
the Common Stock meeting the requirements of such securities laws, and to
furnish the Grantee such numbers of copies of the registration statement and
prospectus as amended or supplemented as may reasonably be requested. The
Grantor shall bear the cost of the registration, including, but not limited to,
all registration and filing fees, printing expenses, and fees and disbursements
of counsel and accountants for the Grantor, except that the Grantee shall pay
the fees and disbursements of its counsel, the underwriting fees and selling
commissions applicable to the shares of Common Stock sold by the Grantee. The
Grantor shall indemnify and hold harmless Grantee, its affiliates and its
officers, directors and controlling persons from and against any and all
losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses arising out of or based upon
any statements contained or incorporated by reference in, and omissions or
alleged omissions from, each registration statement filed pursuant to this
paragraph; provided, however, that this provision does not apply to any loss,
liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent it arises out of any untrue
statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Grantor by the Grantee, its affiliates and its
officers expressly for use in any registration statement (or any amendment
thereto) or any preliminary prospectus filed pursuant to this paragraph. The
Grantor shall also indemnify and hold harmless each underwriter and each person
who controls any underwriter within the meaning of either the Securities Act or
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, against any and all losses,
claims, damages, liabilities and expenses arising out of or based upon any
statements contained or incorporated by
6
7
reference in, and omissions or alleged omissions from, each registration
statement filed pursuant to this paragraph; provided, however, that this
provision does not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to
the extent it arises out of any untrue statement or omission made in reliance
upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Grantor by the
underwriters expressly for use in any registration statement (or any amendment
thereto) or any preliminary prospectus filed pursuant to this paragraph.
9. Profit Limitation.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
in no event shall the Grantee's Total Profit (as hereinafter defined) exceed
$7.5 million and, if it does exceed such amount, the Grantee, at its sole
election, shall, within five business days, either (a) deliver to the Grantor
for cancellation Shares (valued, for the purposes of this Section 9(a), at the
average closing sales price of the Common Stock on the NYSE Composite Tape for
the twenty consecutive trading days preceding the day on which the Grantee's
Total Profit exceeds $7.5 million) previously purchased by the Grantee, (b) pay
cash or other consideration to the Grantor or (c) undertake any combination
thereof, so that the Grantee's Total Profit shall not exceed $7.5 million after
taking into account the foregoing actions.
(b) As used herein, the term "Total Profit" shall mean the
aggregate amount (before taxes) of the following: (i) the amount of cash
received by the Grantee pursuant to Section 7.3(c) of the Merger Agreement and
Section 1(c) hereof, (ii)(x) the net cash amount received by the Grantee
pursuant to the Grantor's repurchase of Shares pursuant to Section 7 hereof,
less (y) the Grantee's purchase price for such Shares, and (iii)(x) the amount
received by the Grantee pursuant to the sale of Shares (or any other securities
into which such Shares are converted or exchanged), less (y) the Grantee's
purchase price for such Shares.
10. Expenses. Each party hereto shall pay its own expenses
incurred in connection with this Agreement, except as otherwise specifically
provided herein.
11. Specific Performance. The Grantor acknowledges that if the
Grantor fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement immediate
and irreparable harm or injury would be caused to the Grantee for which money
damages would not be an adequate remedy. In such event, the Grantor agrees
that the Grantee shall have the right, in addition to any other rights it may
have, to specific performance of this Agreement. Accordingly, if the Grantee
should institute an action or proceeding seeking specific enforcement of the
provisions hereof, the Grantor hereby waives the claim or defense that the
Grantee has an adequate remedy at law and hereby agrees not to assert in any
such action or proceeding the claim or defense that such a remedy at law
exists. The Grantor further agrees to waive any requirements for the securing
or posting of any bond in connection with obtaining any such equitable relief.
12. Notice. All notices, requests, demands and other
communications hereunder shall be deemed to have been duly given and made if in
writing and if served by personal delivery upon the party for whom it is
intended or delivered by registered or certified

after such impediment to exercise has been removed.
All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall
survive delivery of and payment for the Shares.
20. Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction
of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid,

restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall
in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated.
21. Public Announcement. The Grantee will consult with the Grantor
