REVOLVING SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE
 
New York, New York  
As of January 27, 2016 $1,500,000.00
 
1)             FOR VALUE RECEIVED, on the Maturity Date (defined below), each of Viggle Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Parent”), wetpaint.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and Choose Digital, Inc., a Delaware corporation (each, including the Parent, a “Borrower” and collectively, the “Borrowers”), at their offices at 902 Broadway, 11th Floor, New York, New York 10010, jointly and severally promise to pay to the order of Sillerman Investment Company VI LLC (“SIC VI” or the “Lender”) at its offices, or at such other place as the Lender may designate in writing, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all outstanding advances hereunder plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided, that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all outstanding advances shall not exceed One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000.00) at any one time outstanding (the “Maximum Credit Amount”).
 
2)             Maturity Date. The “Maturity Date” shall be the earliest to occur of (a) December 31, 2016, (b) the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default (as defined below) pursuant to any of clauses 8(iii) – (vi) hereof, (c) the acceleration of the obligations hereunder as a result of the occurrence and continuance of any other Event of Default, or (d) the occurrence of a Change of Control Transaction.  For purposes hereof, a “Change of Control Transaction” means (i) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrowers or (ii) the issuance by the Parent of Common Stock (as defined below) that results in any “person” or “group” (as these terms are used for purposes of Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) becoming the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the 1934 Act) of a majority of the aggregate ordinary voting power represented by issued and outstanding Common Stock (other than as a result of, or in connection with, any merger, acquisition, consolidation or other business combination in which the Parent is the surviving entity following the consummation thereof), excluding, with respect to each of (i) and (ii), transactions with affiliates of the Borrowers. For purposes hereof, “Common Stock” means (i) the Parent’s shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, and (ii) any capital stock into which such common stock shall have been changed or any share capital resulting from a reclassification of such common stock.
 
3)             Interest.
 
(a) Borrowers will pay interest on the unpaid outstanding principal amount from time to time outstanding from the date of each advance under this Revolving Secured Promissory Note until each such advance has been paid in full. Interest shall accrue at the simple interest rate equal to twelve percent (12%) per annum.
 
(b) Borrowers will pay interest, calculated at the rate set forth above, upon the Maturity Date or such earlier date upon which any principal amount is repaid. In addition, Borrowers will pay a default rate equal to two percent (2%) per annum in excess of the rate set forth herein if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Notwithstanding the foregoing however, in no event shall interest exceed the maximum legal rate permitted by law. All payments, including insufficient payments, shall be credited, regardless of their designation by Borrowers, first to interest and the remainder, if any, to principal.

4)             Requests for Loans; Disbursement of Proceeds.

(a)  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Revolving Secured Promissory Note, Borrowers may borrow, and Lender agrees to fund advances hereunder, upon notice of a proposed borrowing, and the requested amount thereof, to the Lender not later than 12:00 Noon (New York time) three (3) days prior to the date on which the proposed borrowing is requested to be made, subject to the satisfaction of all conditions precedent to such advance, including the delivery to the Lender of a funding memorandum substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (a “Funding Memorandum”).

(b)  Each notice of borrowing shall be delivered by hand or facsimile transmission. Each such notice shall be irrevocable by and binding on the Borrowers. Unless otherwise directed in writing by Borrowers, the Lender shall promptly disburse the proceeds of such advance made hereunder by crediting the amount thereof as instructed in the applicable Funding Memorandum.

5)              Funding Limitations.  The aggregate principal amount outstanding at any one time hereunder shall not exceed the Maximum Credit Amount.  In addition, all advances hereunder shall be subject to, and used in accordance with a budget to be approved by the Company’s Board of Directors and Lender (as amended or modified from time to time with the consent of the Lender and the Company, the “Budget”).  The Lender shall have no obligation to make any advance hereunder if (A) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (B) such advance would result in the outstanding amounts hereunder exceeding the Maximum Credit Amount and or (C) such advance is not in compliance with the Budget.

6)             Payments and Prepayments; Use of Grid.  The Lender is hereby authorized by Borrowers to enter and record on the schedule attached hereto (i) the loan number, (ii) the date of each advance made under this Revolving Secured Promissory Note, (iii) the dollar amount of the advance, (iv) the applicable interest rate, (v) interest due on Maturity Date, (vi) each payment and prepayment of any advance thereon, and (vii) date  of payment, without any further authorization on the part of Borrowers or any endorser or guarantor of this Revolving Secured Promissory Note; provided, however, that the Lender shall promptly deliver to the Borrowers a copy of this Revolving Secured Promissory Note following the entry of each advance hereunder. The entry of a advance on said schedule shall be prima facie and presumptive evidence of the entered advance and its conditions, absent manifest error. The Lender’s failure to make an entry, however, shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of any Borrower or any endorser or guarantor of this Revolving Secured Promissory Note. Borrowers may make prepayments in whole or in part hereunder at any time, provided accrued, but unpaid interest, is paid through the prepayment date.  If any payment of principal or interest becomes due on a day on which the Lender is closed, such payment shall be made not later than the next succeeding Business Day (a “Business Day” shall be considered to be Monday through Friday from 9am to 5pm local time, excluding weekends and public holidays) and such extension shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment. All payments by Borrowers on account of principal, interest or fees hereunder shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America, in immediately available funds.

7)             Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of each advance hereunder shall be used for general corporate and working capital purposes of the Borrowers.  Borrowers may use the proceeds to repay existing indebtedness of the Borrowers, including indebtedness to Lender or any of its affiliates.  None of the Borrowers will, directly or indirectly, use any proceeds of advances hereunder for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock within the meaning of Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or to extend credit to any person for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any such margin stock, or for any purpose which violates, or is inconsistent with, Regulation X of such Board of Governors
