ProElite, Inc.

 

The Company shall arrange for certificates for shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by the transfer agent of PEI to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system if PEI is a participant in such system, and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise, within three (3) business days from the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above. This Option shall be deemed to have been exercised on the date the Exercise Price is received by the Company.

 

The person in whose name any certificate or certificates for Exercise Shares are to be delivered upon exercise of this Option shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares on the date on which payment of the Exercise Price was made, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate or certificates, except that, if the date of such payment is a date when the stock transfer books of PEI are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at the open of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open.

 

Subject to the final sentence of this paragraph and to the extent permitted by law, the Company’s obligations to deliver Exercise Shares in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any person or entity or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other person or entity of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other person or entity, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the transfer of Exercise Shares. The Holder shall, subject to the following proviso, have the right to pursue any remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity, including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver Exercise Shares upon exercise of this Option as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

3.1     Net Share Exercise.  If during the Exercise Period (i) the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of one share of the Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), and (ii) the Exercise Shares are not registered for resale pursuant to an effective registration statement, in lieu of exercising this Option by payment of cash or by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the Holder may, at his own discretion, effect a “net share exercise” of this Option, in which event, if so effected, the Holder shall receive Exercise Shares equal to the value (as determined below) of this Option (or the portion thereof being canceled) by delivering the properly endorsed Notice of Exercise to the principal office of the Company in which event the Company shall deliver to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:

 

X = Y(A-B)

      A

 

Where X   =     the number of Exercise Shares to be delivered to the Holder

 

3
ProElite, Inc.

 

Y   =     the number of Exercise Shares with respect to which this Option is being exercised

 

A   =     the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of one share of the Company’s Common Stock (at the date of such calculation)

 

B   =     the Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation)

 

 

For purposes of this Option, the “Fair Market Value” of one share of Common Stock means (i) the average of the closing sales prices for the shares of Common Stock on an Eligible Market where the Common Stock is listed or traded as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets (or a comparable reporting service of national reputation selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Holder if Bloomberg Financial Markets is not then reporting sales prices of such security) (collectively, “Bloomberg”) for the ten (10) consecutive trading days immediately before the Exercise Date, or (ii) if an Eligible Market is not the principal Trading Market for the shares of Common Stock, the average of the reported sales prices reported by Bloomberg on the principal Trading Market for the Common Stock during the same period, or, if there is no sales price for such period, the last sales price reported by Bloomberg for such period, or (iii) if neither of the foregoing applies, the last sales price of such security in the over-the-counter market on the pink sheets or bulletin board for such security as reported by Bloomberg, or if no sales price is so reported for such security, the last bid price of such security as reported by Bloomberg, or (iv) if “Fair Market Value” cannot be calculated as of such date on any of the foregoing bases, the “Fair Market Value” shall be as mutually determined by the Board of Directors of the Company and the Holder in the exercise of their respective good faith judgment.

 

3.2     Issuance of New Options. Upon any partial exercise of this Option, the Company, at its expense, will forthwith and, in any event within five (5) business days, issue and deliver to the Holder a new Option or Options of like tenor, registered in the name of the Holder, exercisable, in the aggregate, for the balance of the number of shares of Common Stock remaining available for purchase under this Option.

 

3.3     Payment of Taxes and Expenses. The Company shall pay any recording, filing, stamp or similar tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance of, and the preparation and delivery of certificates (if applicable) representing, (i) any Exercise Shares purchased upon exercise of this Option and/or (ii) new or replacement Options in the Holder’s name or the name of any transferee of all or any portion of this Option; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance, delivery or registration of any certificates for Exercise Shares or Options in a name other than that of the Holder. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Option or receiving Exercise Shares upon exercise hereof.

 

3.4     Certain Conversion Limits. Holder shall not have the right to exercise this Option to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, Holder (together with any affiliate of Holder and any other Person acting as a group together with Holder or any affiliate of Holder) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the delivery of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of the Option. The provisions of this section may be waived by Holder upon not less than 61 days prior notice to the Company.

ProElite, Inc.

 

4.          Adjustment of Exercise Price and Shares. The Exercise Price and number of Exercise Shares deliverable upon exercise of this Option shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:

 

4.1     Adjustment upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If PEI at any time on or after the date hereof subdivides (by any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, scheme, arrangement or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately before such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of Exercise Shares will be proportionately increased. If PEI at any time on or after the date hereof combines (by any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, scheme, arrangement or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately before such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Exercise Shares will be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 4.1 shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

 

4.2     Calculation of Number of Exercise Shares. The number of Exercise Shares hereunder assumes and is based on the conversion by the Company of the Preferred Stock and the receipt of the Conversion Shares.

 

5.          Rights Upon Distribution of Assets. If PEI shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Option, then, in each such case:

 

(A)     any Exercise Price in effect immediately before the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution shall be reduced, effective as of the close of business on such record date, to a price determined by multiplying such Exercise Price by a fraction of which (i) the numerator shall be the closing bid price of the shares of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding such record date minus the value of the Distribution (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) applicable to one share of Common Stock, and (ii) the denominator shall be the closing bid price of the shares of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding such record date; and

 

(B)     the number of Exercise Shares shall be increased to a number of shares equal to the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable immediately before the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution multiplied by the reciprocal of the fraction set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph (A); provided that in the event that the Distribution is of shares of Common Stock (or common stock) (“Other Shares of Common Stock”) of a company whose common shares are traded on a national securities exchange or a national automated quotation system, then the Holder may elect to receive a Option to purchase Other Shares of Common Stock in lieu of an adjustment in the number of Exercise Shares, the terms of which shall be identical to those of this Option, except that such Option shall be exercisable into the number of shares of Other Shares of Common Stock that would have been payable to the Holder pursuant to the Distribution had the Holder exercised this Option immediately before such record date and with an aggregate exercise price equal to the product of the amount by which the exercise price of this Option was decreased with respect to the Distribution pursuant to the terms of the immediately preceding paragraph (A) and the number of Exercise Shares calculated in accordance with the first part of this paragraph (B).

ProElite, Inc.

 

6.          Purchase Rights; Fundamental Transactions. The Company shall ensure that the Holder shall have the benefit of and the Exercise Shares shall be subject to and have the benefit of the following provisions:

 

6.1     Purchase Rights. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 4 above, if at any time PEI grants, issues or sells any options, convertible securities or rights to purchase stock, Options, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Company shall ensure that the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Option (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Option) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

 

6.2     Fundamental Transactions. The Company shall ensure that in the case of a Fundamental Transaction that this Option shall be exchangeable for a security of the successor entity with an adjusted exercise price equal to the value of the shares of Common Stock reflected by the terms of such Fundamental Transaction, and exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Option (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Option) before such Fundamental Transaction. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, before the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a “Corporate Event”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to insure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon an exercise of this Option at any time after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction but before the end of the Exercise Period, in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property) purchasable upon the exercise of the Option before such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including Options or other purchase or subscription rights) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental Transaction had the Option been exercised immediately before such Fundamental Transaction. 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 Company shall ensure that the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Option following such Fundamental Transaction. The provisions of this Section 5.2 shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and Corporate Events and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, at the request of the Holder delivered before the fifteenth (15th)day after consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, the Company (or the successor entity) shall purchase this Option from the Holder by paying to the Holder, within five (5) business days after such request (or, if later, within two (2) business days after the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction), cash in an amount equal to the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Option on the date of such Fundamental Transaction.

ProElite, Inc.

 

7.          Noncircumvention. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its articles of incorporation, bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Option, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Option. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall not permit PEI to increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Option above the Exercise Price then in effect, and shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally transfer to Holder fully-paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Option.

 

8.          Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall be delivered upon the exercise of this Option as a consequence of any adjustment pursuant hereto. All Exercise Shares (including fractions) issuable upon exercise of this Option may be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the exercise would result in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after aggregation, the exercise would result in the issuance of a fractional share, the number of Exercise Shares to be delivered will be rounded down to the nearest whole share.

 

9.          No Stockholder Rights. Other than as provided herein, this Option in and of itself shall not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of PEI.

 

10.          Transfer of Option. Subject to applicable laws, this Option and all rights hereunder are transferable, by the Holder in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon delivery of this Option and the form of assignment attached hereto to any transferee designated by Holder. The transferee shall sign an investment letter in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its counsel. Any purported transfer of all or any portion of this Option in violation of the provisions of this Option shall be null and void.

 

11.          Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Option. If this Option is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company may, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as it may reasonably impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Option, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Option of like denomination and tenor as this Option so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed. Any such new Option shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Option shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.

PROMISSORY NOTE

 

$1,000,000 January 25, 2012
  Santa Barbara, California

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Stratus Media Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Borrower”), hereby unconditionally promises to pay to Isaac Blech, an individual (“Holder”), the principal sum of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), together with interest at a rate of 0.19%, which is intended to be the Applicable Rate (as hereinafter defined) on the unpaid principal from time to time outstanding under this Note. The “Applicable Rate” shall mean the short term “applicable federal rate” as set forth in Section 1274(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, as such rate is adjusted from time to time.

 

1.          Maturity. Principal and accrued interest on this Note shall be due and payable in full on the earlier to occur of (a) 120 days from the date hereof or (b) the receipt by Borrower of net proceeds of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) from a private placement of Borrower’s securities currently being conducted by the Company.

 

2.          Prepayment. Borrower shall have the right to prepay this Note, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time without penalty or premium.

 

3.          Application of Payments. Each payment made under this Note shall be applied (a) first, to accrued and unpaid interest, and (b) second, to the principal balance of this Note.

 

4.          Representations and Warranties. Borrower represents and warrants to Holder, as of the date hereof, as follows:

 

(a)     Borrower is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the State of Nevada.

 

(b)     Borrower has all requisite power and authority to enter into this Note and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This Note has been duly executed and delivered by Borrower and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be subject to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium and similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity.

 

(c)     The execution and delivery by Borrower of this Note does not and will not (i) conflict with or result in any violation of or default under (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both), or (ii) give rise to a right of termination, cancellation, modification or acceleration of any liability or loss of any benefit under any (A) provision of the certificate of incorporation, bylaws, or similar governing documents of Borrower, (B) contract to which Borrower is a party or to which it or any of its assets is subject or bound, or (C) law.

 

 
 

 

(d)     No consent or order is required by or with respect to Borrower in connection with the execution and delivery of this Note by Borrower except for (i) filings and notices required under applicable securities laws and (ii) such other consents that if not obtained or made would not individually or in the aggregate reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s ability to fulfill its obligations hereunder.

 

5.          Withholding. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, (a) Borrower may withhold from any payment made hereunder any amount required to be paid to any tax authority in connection with such payment and (b) in the event Borrower has a withholding obligation with respect to a payment made other than in cash (a “Noncash Payment”), Holder shall, upon demand by Borrower, remit to Borrower an amount equal to such withholding obligation, which Borrower shall thereafter remit to the applicable tax authority, and such Noncash Payment shall be subject to such remittance.

 

6.          Default. For purposes of this Note, the term “default” shall include any of the following:

 

(a)     The failure by Borrower to pay any amounts due under any of this Note on the stated due date;

 

(b)     A material breach by Borrower of any other term or provision of this Note or the Securities Purchase Agreement of even date herewith between Holder and Borrower, which breach continues for thirty (30) days;

 

(c)     The acceleration of any indebtedness of Borrower or any of its subsidiaries for borrowed money as a result of a default or breach of or under any agreement for such borrowed money;

 

(d)     Borrower or any of its material subsidiaries shall (i) make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or petition or apply to any tribunal for the appointment of a custodian, receiver or trustee for it or a substantial part of its assets, (ii) commence any proceeding under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, dissolution or liquidation law or statute of any jurisdiction, whether now or hereafter in effect, (iii) have had any such petition or application filed or any such proceeding commenced against it that is not dismissed within ninety (90) days, (iv) indicate, by any act or intentional and purposeful omission, its consent to, approval of or acquiescence in any such petition, application, proceeding or order for relief or the appointment of a custodian, receiver or trustee for it or a substantial part of its assets, or (v) suffer any such custodianship, receivership or trusteeship to continue undischarged for a period of ninety (90) days or more;

 

(e)     Borrower or any of its material subsidiaries shall adopt a plan of merger, consolidation, liquidation or dissolution, or the charter thereof shall expire or be revoked; or

 

(f)     The entry against Borrower or any of its subsidiaries of a judgment or decree in excess of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) which has become nonappealable and has remained undischarged, unsatisfied by insurance and unstayed for more than twenty (20) days, whether or not consecutive.

Upon any default, Holder may, at its option, accelerate repayment of this Note, in which case the entire principal amount outstanding under this Note, all interest accrued thereon, and all other amounts owing hereunder shall be due and payable immediately. If there shall occur a default described in subparagraph (d), the entire principal amount outstanding under this Note, and interest accrued thereon, and all other amounts owing hereunder shall be immediately due and payable without any action by Holder.

 

Holder shall have a full right of offset for any amounts due upon such a default against any amounts payable by Holder to Borrower.

 

7.          Notices. Any notice from Holder to Borrower shall be delivered in writing, by registered or certified United States mail (postage prepaid and return receipt requested) or by reputable overnight delivery service, to Borrower at Stratus Media Group, Inc., 3 East de la Guerra Street, Second Floor, Santa Barbara, California 93101 (or to any other address that Borrower may subsequently give to Holder in the foregoing manner). Any such notice from Holder that is sent to Borrower in the foregoing manner shall be deemed to have been delivered three (3) days after deposit in the United States mail or one day after delivery to an overnight delivery service.

 

8.          Waivers. Borrower waives presentment and demand for payment, notice of dishonor, protest and notice of protest, notice of default and any and all lack of diligence or delay by Holder in the collection or enforcement of this Note. Holder shall not be deemed to have waived any right or remedy that it has under this Note or applicable law unless it has expressly waived the same in writing or unless this Note expressly provides a period of time in which the right or remedy must be exercised. The waiver by Holder of a right or remedy shall not be construed as a waiver of any other right or remedy or of any subsequent right or remedy of the same kind.

 

9.          Miscellaneous.

 

(a)     If any provision of this Note is determined by an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed severed from this Note, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Note shall remain in full force and effect.

 

(b)     If Holder ever receives any interest payment on this Note in excess of the maximum interest permitted by applicable law, such excess amount shall, at Holder’s option, be applied to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of this Note or returned to Borrower.

 

(c)     This Note shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York without giving effect to conflict-of-law principles. Borrower and Holder consent to the jurisdiction of the federal and state courts that are located in New York County, New York, for purposes of an action that is brought to enforce this Note.

 

3
 

 

(d)     No failure or delay on the part of the Holder hereof in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.

 

(e)     All rights and remedies existing hereunder are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

 

(f)     Time is of the essence hereof. Immediately upon any default hereunder, Borrower may exercise all rights and remedies provided for herein and by law or equity, including, but not limited to, the right to immediate payment in full of this Note.

 

10.          Successors and Assigns. This Note may be assigned or transferred by Holder to any person. Borrower may not assign or transfer this Note or any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Holder. This Note shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the parties and their permitted assigns.

 

11.          WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY RELATING TO THIS NOTE OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, WHETHER BASED IN CONRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER THEORY.

 

12.          Costs of Enforcement. Borrower will, upon demand, pay to Holder the amount of any and all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of its counsel, which Holder may incur in connection with the enforcement or collection of this Note.
