Exhibit 7

  

DEBT CONVERSION AGREEMENT

 

THIS DEBT CONVERSION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of May 2, 2013 by and between Stratus Media Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and Isaac Blech (“Purchaser”).

 

RECITALS

 

A. Purchaser holds a promissory note in the original principal amount of $[______] dated [______] from the Company (the “Note”).

 

B. 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 (c) extinguish a significant portion of its debt, although no assurance can be given that the Recapitalization will be successful in whole or in part.

 

C. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, Purchaser desires to convert the Note for shares of the Common Stock of the Company at a price of $0.06 per share.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, with reference to the foregoing facts, the Company and the Purchaser agree as follows:

 

AGREEMENT

 

1. Conversion of Note. The Company hereby issues to Purchaser [______] shares (the “Shares”) of Common Stock of the Company, and the Purchaser hereby converts the Note into the Shares. The number of Shares has been determined based upon dividing the outstanding balance of the Note (principal of $[______]) by $0.06 and rounding to the nearest whole Share. Purchaser has concurrently herewith delivered the original Note to the Company and waives any accrued interest. The Company agrees to instruct its transfer agent to issue the Shares to Purchaser promptly after the date hereof.

 

2. Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser. Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Company as follows:

 

2.1 Purchaser understands that: (a) 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 Purchaser contained in this Agreement.

 

2.2 Purchaser 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 Purchaser.

 

12
 

2.3 Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial, tax, and business matters, and, in particular, investments in securities, so as to enable Purchaser to utilize the information made available to Purchaser 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 Purchaser 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 Purchaser has relied on the advice of, or has consulted with, only his own advisors.

 

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

 

2.6 Purchaser 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 Purchaser has adequate means of providing for such Purchaser'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 PURCHASER UNDERSTANDS THAT AN INVESTMENT IN THE SHARES INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK.

 

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

 

3. Confidentiality and Insider Trading. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that any information or data Purchaser has acquired from or about the Company, not otherwise properly in the public domain, was received in confidence. Purchaser agrees not to divulge, communicate or disclose, except as may be required by law or for the performance of this Agreement, or use to the detriment of the Company or for the benefit of any other person or persons, or misuse in any way, any confidential information of the Company, including any trade or business secrets of the Company and any scientific, technical, trade or business materials that are treated by the Company as confidential or proprietary.

 

4. Miscellaneous

 

13
 

 

 

4.1 This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between Purchaser and the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior oral or written agreements and understandings, if any, relating to the subject matter hereof. The terms and provisions of this Agreement may be waived, or consent for the departure therefrom granted, only by a written document executed by the party entitled to the benefits of such terms or provisions.

 

4.2 Purchaser's representations and warranties made in this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and delivery of the Shares.

 

4.3 This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

 

4.4 Each provision of this Agreement shall be considered separable and if for any reason any provision or provisions hereof are determined to be invalid or contrary to applicable law such invalidity or illegality shall not impair the operation of or affect the remaining portions of this Agreement.

 

4.5 This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California relating to contracts entered into and to be performed wholly within such State.

 

4.6 Paragraph titles are for descriptive purposes only and shall not control or alter the meaning of this Agreement as set forth in the text.

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 May 29, 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 $0.65 per share and an aggregate of [________] shares at an initial exercise price of $1.00 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 converting them into Common Stock otherwise issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”) in the sum 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:

 

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.

3. Brokers or Finders. No agent, broker, investment banker, person or firm will be entitled to any fee or commission directly or indirectly from the Company in connection with the conversion and exercise contemplated hereby.

6.1 Investor acknowledges and agrees that any information or data Investor has acquired from or about the Company, not otherwise properly in the public domain, was received in confidence. Investor agrees not to divulge, communicate or disclose, except as may be required by law or for the performance of this Agreement, or use to the detriment of the Company or for the benefit of any other person or persons, or misuse in any way, any confidential information of the Company, including any trade or business secrets of the Company and any scientific, technical, trade or business materials that are treated by the Company as confidential or proprietary.
