12% CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

US $250,000
June 16, 2010

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Tiga Energy Services, Inc., a Texas corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay to David Meck (the “Holder”), the principal sum of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) (the "Principal") in lawful money of the United States of America, with interest payable thereon at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum ("Interest") compounded quarterly.  The principal amount of this Convertible Promissory Note (“Note”) and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon shall be paid in full to the Holder on June 16, 2012 (the “Maturity Date”).  If all or a portion of the principal amount of this Note or Interest shall not be paid when due (whether at its stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), the Company hereby promises to pay, on demand, interest on such overdue amount from and including the due date to, but excluding, the date such amount is paid in full at 14% per annum (and until the date such overdue amount is paid in full, "Interest" on such overdue amount shall mean interest at such rate).

1.       Repayment.

(a) Principal. Except as otherwise provided for herein, the outstanding Principal shall be payable on or before the Maturity Date, unless this Note has been earlier converted as described below.
         
(b) Interest.

 
(i) Computation.  Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal amount of this Note from the date hereof until such principal amount is repaid in full.  All computations of Interest hereunder shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months compounded every 3 months (quarterly).  In the event that any Interest provided for herein shall be determined to be unlawful, such interest rate shall be computed at the highest rate permitted by applicable law.  Any payment by the Company of any Interest in excess of that permitted by law shall be considered an error, with the excess being applied to the principal of this Note without prepayment premium or penalty.

 
(ii) Interest Payment.  Interest shall be payable on the Maturity Date, or such earlier date as such amounts may be due hereunder.

(c)  Currency; Place of Payment. All payments due under this Note shall be made in lawful currency of the United States of America in immediately available funds before 3:00 p.m. Central Time on the due date thereof at the account coordinates for the Holder on file with the Company, or in such other manner or at such other place as the Holder of this Note designates in writing.

(d) Prepayment. The Company may prepay the entire principal amount of this Note and all accrued interest thereon without premium or penalty, at any time upon thirty (30) day’s prior written notice to the Holder.  Upon any prepayment of this Note, all accrued interest on the Principal shall be paid to the Holder on the date of prepayment.  The Holder will have the option of converting the principle and accrued interest to stock within thirty (30) days of receiving written notice from the Company of its intent to prepay the entire amount of this Note.
 
 
 

 

(e) Application of Payments. All payments received by the Holder hereunder will be applied first to Interest and the balance to Principal.

2.           Conversion.

(a)  Generally. The Holder shall have the right, exercisable at any time prior to the Maturity Date, to convert all, but not less than all, of the Principal, plus all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, into shares of the Company’s common stock, no par value per share (the "Common Stock"), at a conversion price (the "Conversion Price," including any adjustments thereto) equal to $2.00 per share (the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note being referred to herein as the "Conversion Shares"). Immediately upon surrender of this Note for conversion as herein provided, this Note shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to this Note shall immediately cease and terminate on the conversion date, except only the right of the holder to receive Conversion Shares in exchange therefor. This Note, when so surrendered for conversion, shall be cancelled.

(b)  Mechanics of Conversion. The conversion of this Note shall be conducted in the following manner: upon any conversion of all but not less than all of the Principal, plus all accrued but unpaid interest thereon: (i) the Holder shall deliver a completed and executed Notice of Conversion attached hereto as Exhibit A and surrender and deliver this Note, duly endorsed, to the Company’s office or such other address which the Company shall designate; (ii) in exchange for the surrendered Note, the Company shall prepare and deliver irrevocable instructions addressed to the Company’s transfer agent, if applicable, to issue such required number of Conversion Shares, which Conversion Shares shall be delivered to the Holder within ten (10) business days of the delivery of the documentation to the Company; and (iii) upon delivery of the Conversion Shares, this Note shall be fully paid and satisfied.  The Company shall, upon the written request of the Holder, use its best efforts to deliver, or cause to be delivered, the Conversion Shares hereunder electronically through the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions, if available.

(c)  Conversion Adjustments.

 
(i)  Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. In case the Company shall (A) pay a dividend in shares of Common Stock or make a distribution in shares of Common Stock to holders of its outstanding Common Stock, (B) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (C) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, or (D) issue any shares of its capital stock in a reclassification of the Common Stock, then  the number of shares issued and the Conversion Price shall be adjusted proportionately. An adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such event retroactive to the record date, if any, for such event.

 
(ii)  Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, Consolidation or Disposition of Assets. In case the Company shall reorganize its capital, reclassify its capital stock, consolidate or merge with or into another corporation (where the Company is not the surviving corporation or where there is a change in or distribution with respect to the Common Stock), or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all its property, assets or business to another corporation and, pursuant to the terms of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation, or any cash, shares of stock or other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (including warrants or other subscription or purchase rights) in addition to or in lieu of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation ("Other Property"), are to be received by or distributed to the holders of Common Stock of the Company, then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive upon conversion of this Note, the number of shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and Other Property receivable upon or as a result of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets by a Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Note is convertible immediately prior to such event.  In case of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause the successor or acquiring corporation (if other than the Company) to assume the due and punctual observance and performance of each and every covenant and condition of this Note to be performed and observed by the Company and all the obligations and liabilities hereunder, subject to such modifications as may be deemed appropriate (as determined in good faith by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company) in order to provide for adjustments of shares for which this Note is convertible which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section.  For purposes of this Section, "common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation" shall include stock of such corporation of any class which is not preferred as to dividends or assets over any other class of stock of such corporation and which is not subject to redemption and shall also include any evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for any such stock, either immediately or upon the arrival of a specified date or the happening of a specified event and any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any such stock.  The foregoing provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, mergers, consolidations or disposition of assets.

Except as provided in the next sentence, the Company will pay any and all taxes and duties that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of Common Stock on conversion of this Note.  The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax or duty which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of Common Stock in a name other than that of the Holder, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting such issue has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax or duty, or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax or duty has been paid.
 
(g) Due and Valid Issuance of Conversion Shares. The Company agrees that all Common Stock which may be delivered upon conversion of this Note, upon such delivery, will have been duly authorized and validly issued and will be fully paid, nonassessable and free of preemptive rights (and shall be issued out of the Company's authorized but unissued Common Stock) and, except as provided in Section 2(f), the Company will pay all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.
 
(h) Elimination of Fractional Interests. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of this Note, nor shall the Company be required to pay cash in lieu of fractional interests, it being the intent of the parties that all fractional interests shall be eliminated and that all issuances of Common Stock shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share.
