EXHIBIT 10.02

 

SERIES E PREFERRED STOCK CONVERSION AND
WARRANT EXERCISE AGREEMENT

 

This Series E Preferred Stock Conversion and Warrant Exercise Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of April __, 2013, by and between Stratus Media Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) and ____________ (“Investor”) with reference to the following facts:

 

A. Investor has purchased an aggregate of _____ shares of the Company’s Series E Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Shares”).

 

B. The Certificates of Designation with respect to the Preferred Shares grants Investor certain rights, preferences and privileges, including (i) the right at any time to voluntarily convert the Preferred Shares into shares of the Company’s common stock, and (ii) anti-dilution protection, pursuant to which the conversion price of the Preferred Shares will decrease on a full-ratchet basis in the event that the Company issues additional equity securities (or warrants or securities convertible into common stock) at a price less than the conversion price of the Preferred Shares.

 

C. In connection with the purchase of the Preferred Shares, the Company issued to Investor warrants (the “Warrants”) to initially purchase an aggregate of _______ shares at an initial exercise price of $___ per share.

 

D. The Warrants also contain anti-dilution protection pursuant to which the exercise price will decrease on the same basis as the conversion price for the Preferred Shares.

 

E. The Company is in the process of attempting a recapitalization (the “Recapitalization”) pursuant to which the Company desires to (i) raise capital to restart certain of its operations; (ii) restructure certain of its equity; and (iii) extinguish a significant portion of its debt, although no assurance can be given that the Recapitalization will be successful in whole or in part.

 

F. As a result of the issuance of additional securities subsequent to the issuance of the Warrants and the Preferred Shares, the conversion price of the Preferred Shares and the exercise price of the Warrants have been reduced to $0.03 per share.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1. Conversion. Notwithstanding Recital F, above, and to assist the Company with the Recapitalization, Investor hereby agrees to convert each Preferred Share into shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Conversion Shares”) at a conversion price of $0.06 per Share resulting in the issuance of _________ Conversion Shares, and to exercise the Warrants on the basis of one share of Company Common Stock for every 2.5 shares otherwise issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”) resulting in the issuance of ___________ Warrant Shares. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, in order to effect the foregoing conversion and exercise, Investor is hereby delivering to the Company the stock certificates for the Preferred Shares and the Warrants, together with a stock assignment form duly endorsed for transfer.

 

2. Representations and Warranties of Investor. Investor represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

 

1
 

 

2.1 Investor understands that: (a) the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares (collectively, the “Shares”) are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities laws; (b) the issuance and sale of the Shares is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act, by virtue of Section 4(2) thereof and the provisions of Regulation D promulgated thereunder, based, in part, upon the representations, warranties and agreements of the Investor contained in this Agreement.

 

2.2 Investor has had a reasonable opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from a person or persons acting on behalf of the Company concerning the offering of the Shares and the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the Company and all such questions have been answered to the full satisfaction of the Investor.

 

2.3 Investor has such knowledge and experience in financial, tax, and business matters, and, in particular, investments in securities, so as to enable Investor to utilize the information made available to Investor in connection with the offering of the Shares to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares and to make an informed investment decision with respect thereto.

 

2.4 Investor is not relying on the Company or any of its employees or agents with respect to the legal, tax, economic and related considerations of the acquisition of the Shares, and the Investor has relied on the advice of, or has consulted with, only his own advisors.

 

2.5 Investor is acquiring the Shares solely for the Investor's own account for investment and not with a view to resale or distribution thereof, in whole or in part.

 

2.6 Investor must bear the substantial economic risks of the investment in the Shares indefinitely, because none of the Shares may be sold, assigned, transferred, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered or disposed of unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or any exemption from such registration is available. Legends shall be placed on the Shares to the effect that they have not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws. In addition, appropriate notations thereof will be made in the Company's books, and stop transfer instructions will be placed with the transfer agent of the Shares.

 

2.7 Investor has adequate means of providing for such Investor's current financial needs and foreseeable contingencies and has no need for liquidity of the investment in the Shares for an indefinite period of time.

 

2.8 THE PURCHASER UNDERSTANDS THAT AN INVESTMENT IN THE SHARES INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK.

 

2.9 Investor is an “accredited investor” under Regulation D under the Securities Act.
