Viggle Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, for value received, the holder whose name appears above or its registered assigns (“Holder”), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth herein, to purchase from the Company up to the total number of shares appearing above of Common Stock, $0.001 par value (including any class of common equity of the Company or any successor company for which such Common Stock becomes exchangeable or into which it becomes convertible, directly or indirectly, pursuant to any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, merger, combination, share exchange or similar transaction as provided in Section 3, the “Common Stock”), of the Company (each such share, a “Warrant Share”), at an exercise price equal to $_____ per share (as adjusted from time to time as provided in Section 7, the “Exercise Price”), at any time and from time to time from and after this date through and including the date that is five years after the date of this Warrant or earlier as provided herein (the “ Expiration Date ”), and subject to the following terms and conditions:
1. Registration of Warrant. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof (notwithstanding any notations of ownership or writing hereon made by any person other than the Company) for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.
2. Registration of Transfers and Exchanges.
NY 242,134,021v4
(a) The Company shall register the transfer of any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant, with the Form of Assignment attached hereto appropriately completed and duly executed by the Holder or its duly authorized agent, to the Company at the office specified in or pursuant to Section 3(b) and upon the Holder's compliance with Section 4, provided that such transfer is made in compliance with the Securities Act and state securities laws. Upon any such registration of transfer, a new warrant to purchase Common Stock, in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new warrant, a “New Warrant”), evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the transferee (a “Transferee” ) and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant by the Transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance of such Transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a holder of a Warrant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2(a), a transfer of any portion of this Warrant will not be effected until the Company has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that registration under the Securities Act is not required in connection with such proposed transfer.
(b) This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder to the office of the Company specified in or pursuant to Section 3(b), for one or more New Warrants, evidencing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares which may then be purchased hereunder. Any such New Warrant shall be dated the date of such exchange.
3. Duration, Exercise of Warrants and Redemption.
(a) This Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder on any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday on which the commercial banks in the City of New York, New York, are required or permitted by law to remain closed (a “Business Day”), at any time and from time to time on or after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date hereof, to and including the date that is five years after the date of this Warrant, subject to Section 3(e). At 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, the portion of this Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and of no value.
(b) The Holder may exercise this Warrant by—
(i) delivering the Form of Election to Purchase attached hereto appropriately completed and duly executed, to the Company at its office at 902 Broadway, 11th Floor, New York, New York 10010, or at such other address as the Company may specify in writing to the then registered Holder;
(ii) surrendering this Warrant to the Company, properly endorsed by the Holder; and
NY 242,134,021v4
(iii) paying to the Company the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares in respect to which this Warrant is being exercised (hereafter the “Aggregate Exercise Price”) in accordance with Section 3(c).
(c) Payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price. Payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price shall be made, at the option of the Holder by the following methods:
(i) by delivering to the Company cash or a bank or certified check made payable to the order of the Company, or by making a wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Company, in the amount of such Aggregate Exercise Price;
(ii) by instructing the Company to withhold a number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with an aggregate Fair Market Value as of the Date of Exercise equal to the Aggregate Exercise Price in effect on the Date of Exercise;
(iii) by surrendering to the Company (x) Warrant Shares previously acquired by the Holder with an aggregate Fair Market Value as of the Date of Exercise equal to such Aggregate Exercise Price and/or (y) other securities of the Company having a value as of the Date of Exercise equal to the Aggregate Exercise Price (which value in the case of debt securities shall be the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, in the case of preferred stock shall be the liquidation value thereof plus accumulated and unpaid dividends and in the case of shares of Common Stock shall be the Fair Market Value thereof); or
(iv) by any combination of the foregoing.
In the event of any withholding of Warrant Shares or surrender of other equity securities pursuant to clause (ii), (iii), or (iv) above where the number of shares whose value is equal to the Aggregate Exercise Price is not a whole number, the number of shares withheld by or surrendered to the Company shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share and the Company shall make a cash payment to the Holder (by delivery of a certified or official bank check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds) based on the incremental fraction of a share being so withheld by or surrendered to the Company in an amount equal to the product of (x) such incremental fraction of a share being so withheld or surrendered multiplied by (y) in the case of Common Stock, the Fair Market Value per Warrant Share as of the Date of Exercise, and, in all other cases, the value thereof as of the Date of Exercise determined in accordance with clause (iii)(y) above.
Upon proper exercise of this Warrant by the Holder, the Company shall promptly issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the
NY 242,134,021v4
Holder and in such name or names as the Holder may designate, one or more certificates representing, in the aggregate, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, free of restrictive legends other than as required by this Warrant or by law. Any person so designated by the Holder to receive Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have become holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Date of Exercise of this Warrant.
"Fair Market Value" means, as of any particular date: (a) the volume weighted average of the closing sales prices of the Common Stock for such day on all domestic securities exchanges on which the Common Stock may at the time be listed; (b) if there have been no sales of the Common Stock on any such exchange on any such day, the average of the highest bid and lowest asked prices for the Common Stock on all such exchanges at the end of such day; (c) if on any such day the Common Stock is not listed on a domestic securities exchange, the closing sales price of the Common Stock as quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, the Pink OTC Markets or similar quotation system or association for such day; or (d) if there have been no sales of the Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board, the Pink OTC Markets or similar quotation system or association on such day, the average of the highest bid and lowest asked prices for the Common Stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, the Pink OTC Markets or similar quotation system or association at the end of such day; in each case, averaged over twenty (20) consecutive Business Days ending on the Business Day immediately prior to the day as of which "Fair Market Value" is being determined; provided, that if the Common Stock is listed on any domestic securities exchange, the term "Business Day" as used in this sentence means Business Days on which such exchange is open for trading. If at any time the Common Stock is not listed on any domestic securities exchange or quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, the Pink OTC Markets or similar quotation system or association, the "Fair Market Value" of the Common Stock shall be the fair market value per share as determined jointly by the Board of Directors of the Company and the Holder.
A “Date of Exercise” means the date on which the Company shall have received (i) this Warrant (or any New Warrant, as applicable), with the Form of Election to Purchase attached hereto (or attached to such New Warrant) appropriately completed and duly executed, and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares so indicated by the holder hereof to be purchased.
(c) This Warrant shall be exercisable, either in its entirety or, from time to time, for a portion of the number of Warrant Shares. If this Warrant is exercised for less than all of the Warrant Shares which may be purchased under this Warrant, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued, at its expense, a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares for which no exercise has been evidenced by this Warrant.
(d) The certificate or certificates for Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be stamped or imprinted (unless registered under the Securities Act) with a legend substantially in the following form:
NY 242,134,021v4
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “ACT”) OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR UNLESS SUCH SALE OR TRANSFER IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Warrant shall not be exercisable unless and until the Company’s stockholders shall have approved the exercise of this Warrant.
4. Payment of Taxes. The Company shall pay all documentary stamp taxes attributable to the issuance of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant; 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 registration or issue of any certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other than that of the registered Holder of the Warrant surrendered, and the Company shall not be required to issue or cause to be issued or deliver or cause to be delivered the certificates for Warrant Shares unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid or is not required to be paid. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.
5. Replacement of Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company may in its discretion issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and in substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of such mutilated warrant or evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction. Applicants for a New Warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures, pay such reasonable charges and provide such indemnity as the Company may prescribe.
6. Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that it shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holders (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 7). The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares that shall be so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly authorized, validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable. The Company shall provide for and maintain the listing of the Common Stock, including the Warrant Shares, upon any securities exchange or
NY 242,134,021v4
interdealer quotation system, if any, which is the principal exchange or system on which the Common Stock is then traded or listed.
7. Certain Adjustments. The Exercise Price payable upon exercise of this Warrant is subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 7. Upon each such adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 7, the Holder shall thereafter prior to the Expiration Date be entitled to purchase, at the Exercise Price then in effect pursuant hereto, the number of Warrant Shares obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.
(a) Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares or (ii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to equal the price obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the effective date of such subdivision or combination by a fraction, (1) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and (2) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment pursuant to this Section 7(a) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination.
(b) Reclassification. In case of any reclassification or change of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (other than a change in par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination covered by Section 7(a), but including any change in the shares into one or more classes or series of shares), then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to exercise this Warrant only for the shares of stock and other securities of the Company and property receivable by holders of Common Stock following such reclassification or change, and the Holder shall thereafter upon exercise of this Warrant be entitled to receive such amount of securities or property attributable to the number of Warrant Shares such Holder would have been entitled to receive had such Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such action. The terms of any such reclassification or other change shall include such terms so as to continue to give to the Holder the right to receive the securities or property set forth in this Section 7(b) upon any exercise following any such reclassification or other action.
(c) Merger, Consolidation, Etc. If (A) any person (the “ Acquirer ”) directly or indirectly acquires the Company in a transaction in which the Company is merged with or into or consolidated with another person or (B) the Company sells or conveys all or substantially all of its assets to another person (unless, subsequent to such merger, consolidation or other transaction, the Company is the surviving entity and the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to the transaction constitute at least a majority of the stockholders of the Company following the transaction, this Section 7(c) shall not apply
NY 242,134,021v4
with respect to such merger, consolidation or other transaction) (such merger, consolidation or other transaction referred to hereinafter as a “Change”), then, upon exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the Change but prior to the Expiration Date, in lieu of the Warrant Shares (or other securities, cash, assets or other property) purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to such Change, the Holder shall be entitled to receive such Warrant Shares or other securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever which such Holder would have been entitled to receive after the occurrence of such Change had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such Change. As a condition to the consummation of such Change, the Company shall take all reasonable steps to cause the Acquirer to execute and deliver to the Holder of this Warrant a written instrument in which the Acquirer assumes all of the obligations under this Warrant and any adjustments to the Warrant as assumed by the Acquirer that may occur subsequent to the effective date of such Change shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in Section 7 of this Warrant.
The Company shall give written notice of any Change to the Holder, in accordance with Section 7(f), at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of the Change. The Company’s failure to give notice required by this Section 7(c) or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the Change covered by this Section 7(c). However, if the Company fails to give notice, the responsibilities of the Company with respect to this Section 7(c) shall be assumed by the Acquirer and nothing in this paragraph shall prejudice the rights of the Holder pursuant to this Warrant.
(d) All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be.
(e) In the event of any reclassification or change of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (other than a change in par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination, but including any change in the shares into one or more classes or series of shares); or in the event the Company shall authorize the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then the Company shall cause to be mailed to each Holder at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the Warrant Register, at least 10 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating the date on which such reclassification or change, or dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification or change, dissolution, liquidation or winding up; provided , however , that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice.
(f) Notice of Adjustments. The Company shall promptly, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days, notify the Holder of this Warrant of any adjustment in the Exercise Price or number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7. Such notice shall be in writing and shall set forth, in
NY 242,134,021v4
reasonable detail, the reason for such adjustment and the calculation thereof. No defect in such notice, or in the mailing thereof, shall affect any such adjustment or the rights of the Holder hereunder.
8. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue or cause to be issued fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant. The number of full Warrant Shares which shall be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Warrant Shares purchasable on exercise of this Warrant so presented. If any fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this Section 8, be issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall, at its option, (i) pay an amount in cash equal to the Market Price of one share of Common Stock on the Date of Exercise of such Warrant multiplied by such fraction or (ii) round the number of Warrant Shares issuable, up to the next whole number.
9. Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile telephone number specified in this Section 9 prior to 4:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day, (ii) the next Business Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile telephone number specified in this Section 9 later than 4:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any date and earlier than 11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on such date, (iii) the Business Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given. The addresses for such communications shall be: (1) if to the Company, to Viggle Inc., at the address of its chief executive offices, Attention: General Counsel or (ii) if to the Holder, to the Holder at the address or facsimile number appearing on the Warrant Register or such other address or facsimile number as the Holder may provide to the Company in accordance with this Section 9.
10. Miscellaneous.
(a) This Warrant shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that the obligations of the Company hereunder shall not be assigned except by operation of law. This Warrant may be amended only in writing duly executed by the Company and the Holder.
(b) Subject to Section 10(a), nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to give to any person or corporation other than the Company and the Holder any legal or equitable right, remedy or cause under this Warrant; this Warrant shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Company and the Holder and its successors and assigns.

(e) This Warrant shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and the Holder and shall not be construed against any person as the drafter hereof.
(f) In case any one or more of the provisions of this Warrant shall be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Warrant shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties shall attempt in good faith to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision which shall be a commercially reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Warrant.
(g) Nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder hereof the right to vote or to consent as stockholders in respect of the meetings of stockholders or the election of members of the Board of Directors of the Company or any other matter, or any rights whatsoever as stockholders of the Company or as imposing any obligation on such holder to purchase any securities or as imposing any liabilities on such Holder as a stockholder of the Company, whether such obligation or liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
