Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Brand Interaction Group, LLC.
On June 21, 2010, EClips Media Technologies, Inc., formerly known as EClips Energy
Technologies, Inc. (the Company), through its wholly-owned subsidiary SD Acquisition Corp., a New
York corporation (SD), acquired (the Acquisition) all of the business and assets of Brand
Interaction Group, LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company (BIG) owned by Eric Simon who will
become our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) contemporaneously with the closing of the Acquisition.
BIG owns and operates Superdraft, a sports entertainment and media business focused on promotion of
fantasy league events through live events hosted in various venues such as Las Vegas, and online,
which feature sports and media personalities, and the sale and marketing of various sports oriented
products and services.
As consideration for the Acquisition by SD, the Company has agreed to issue BIG 20,000,000
shares of its common stock (the Purchase Price) pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated as
of June 21, 2010 (the BIG Agreement), and entered into an employment agreement with Eric Simon to
become the CEO of the Company (the Employment Agreement). Contemporaneously with the appointment
of Eric Simon as our CEO, Gregory D. Cohen, the Companys current CEO, resigned as an officer but
will continue to serve as a director.
Eric Simon Employment Agreement
Pursuant to the Employment Agreement with the Company, unless his employment is terminated as
provided in the Employment Agreement, Mr. Simon will serve as CEO for two years, with automatic
renewals for successive one year periods thereafter unless either party provides the other party
with written notice of his or its intention not to renew the Employment Agreement at least three
months prior to the expiration of the initial term or any renewal term of the Employment Agreement.
Under the terms of the Employment Agreement Mr. Simon is entitled to receive annual
compensation of $225,000 (the Base Salary) and will be eligible to participate in benefits and
awards provided by the Company. The Company is obligated to issue to Mr. Simon 10,000,000 shares
of common stock (the Salary Shares). In addition to the Base Salary, Mr. Simon is eligible to
receive an annual bonus with a target of $78,750 in each year of employment based upon certain
agreed upon performance targets, which as of the date of this Current Report have not been
established.
Mr. Simons employment may be terminated in the event of death, disability, or for cause or
without cause. Under the Employment Agreement cause is the willful and continued failure of the
Executive to perform substantially his material duties and responsibilities for the Company (other
than any such failure resulting from Executives death or Disability) after a written demand by the
Board for substantial performance is delivered to the Executive by the Company, which specifically
identifies the manner in which the Board believes that the Executive has not substantially performed his duties and
responsibilities, which willful and continued failure is not cured by the Executive within thirty
(30) days of his receipt of such written demand; (b) the conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo
contendere to, a felony, (c) material violation of certain provisions of the Agreement (relating to
competition and confidentiality), or (d) fraud or gross misconduct which is materially and
demonstratively injurious to the Company.
2
In the event the Company terminates Mr. Simon without cause, Mr. Simon will be entitled to
receive certain benefits including a lump sum amount equal to (i) the greater of (x) the Base
Salary for a period of 12 months and (y)100% of the remaining Base Salary that would have been
payable had remained employed through the end of the Term (but for such termination), plus (ii) a
bonus payment for each full or partial fiscal year remaining through the end of the Term (but for
such termination) equal to Target Bonus Amount, payable within thirty (30) days following such
termination (collectively, the Severance Amounts). Any payments that are deferred compensation
within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A (Code Section 409A) that would be made
prior to the sixtieth day after the date of termination shall not be paid until the sixtieth day
after the date of termination and shall be paid in a lump sum on that date. In the event that Mr.
Simon is terminated for cause, the Company shall have no further obligations or liability to Mr.
Simon or his heirs, except that Mr. Simon will receive any earned but unpaid Base Salary and
vacation pay, all other payments and benefits he may be entitled to receive under the terms of any
applicable employee benefit plan or program of the Company in which he participates and
reimbursement of any and all reasonable expenses paid or incurred by him in connection with and
related to the performance of his duties and responsibilities for the Company during the period
ending on the termination date.
During the term of the employment and through one (1) year following the termination of his
employment for any reason, Mr. Simon will not, directly or indirectly (whether as an owner,
proprietor, partner, shareholder, officer, employee, independent contractor, director, joint
venturer, consultant, lender or investor (other than in connection with the Employment Agreement)
engage in the Prohibited Business; provided, that, the he may at any time during such one-year
period surrender all shares of the Companys common stock which are then owned by him or any of his
controlled affiliates to the Company and upon doing so, the non-competition period will continue
for only three (3) months thereafter. Prohibited Business means providing any product or service
in connection with fantasy sports league events or Internet online fantasy sports, in the
geographic areas where the Company engages in business as of the date hereof (it being understood
that providing services to an entity whose primary business is not the Prohibited Business shall
not violate this section unless the his primary duties are providing services to that Prohibited
Business). The Employment Agreement does not prohibit the ownership of securities of a person
engaged in the Prohibited Business if (i) he is not an affiliate (as such term is defined in Rule
405 promulgated under the Securities Act) of the issuer of such securities, (ii) such securities
are publicly traded on a national securities exchange and (iii) the he does not, directly or
indirectly, beneficially own more than 5% of the class of which such securities are a part.
3
In the event of any breach of the BIG Agreement or the Employment Agreement any
indemnification claims made by the Company or SD are limited to the Purchase Price Shares and the
Salary Shares. All shares issued to Mr. Simon under the BIG Agreement and pursuant to his
Employment Agreement are subject to a lock up agreement (the Lockup Agreement). Under the terms
of the Lockup Agreement, Mr. Simon may not sell or dispose of any of the Salary Shares for two
years, except that two million of the Salary Shares may be sold after 12 months and another two
million may be sold after 18 months. Notwithstanding the foregoing, BIG entered into an agreement
under which BIG agreed to transfer 10% of the shares issued to BIG in connection with the
acquisition of BIG, provided such transferee enters into an equivalent lockup to that entered by
BIG with the Company.
The Company and SD have agreed to provide certain funding under the BIG Agreement in certain
circumstances. In addition to its general funding of the operations of the business (such as
salary, bonus and benefits) $500,000 has been agreed to be provided on a one time basis to support
costs associated with planning and preparation of Superdraft events, of which approximately
$110,000 was advanced on behalf of BIG by certain shareholders of the Company prior to the BIG
acquisition in order to reserve and prepay for certain future Superdraft events. All of such
advances have been assumed as obligations of the Company as convertible debenture obligations,
convertible into our common stock at $0.025 cents per share, subject to adjustment in certain
events. In addition, if the Superdraft event generates a profit of at least $100,000 for the year
ending December 31, 2010, then additional funding on an as needed basis consistent with the budget
and projections of at least $750,000 and up to $1,000,000 for the period between the funding of the
initial $500,000 and the second anniversary of the closing date of the BIG Acquisition are to be
provided. Prior to the acquisition of Superdraft, the business has been in the development stage
and has never generated a profit. Currently, except as described herein, neither the Company nor
SD have any loan or financing agreements that would permit them to satisfy their funding
obligations under the BIG Agreement or under the Employment Agreement, or for other working
capital, acquisitions of for operations.
Through the date hereof, and prior to the acquisition of BIG, the business of the Company has
primarily consisted of developing successor business plans to the businesses of the Company that
were spun off to its prior controlling stockholder during the fourth quarter of 2009. Working
capital requirements of the Company have since January 2010 been provided exclusively by loans and
investment from shareholders and others, and there are no agreements or understandings in place
that would obligate any third-party to provide funding to the Company for its working capital or
for any acquired business. As a result, an investment in the Company is highly risky.
Foreclosure
of Loan.
Through the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company has advanced to a company
known as RootZoo, Inc. (RZ), which company is approximately 49% owned by Michael Brauser, a
shareholder of the Company who also presently serves as the sole director of RZ, a total of
$130,450, of which $100,000 was advanced pursuant to a secured 6% demand promissory note (the
Demand Note and the Security Agreement) dated as of February 5, 2010. RZ owned and operated a
website www.rootzoo.com, focused upon providing social networking to sports fans, statistics and
commentary to the sports
4
community. During the fourth quarter of 2009 the Company had entered into negotiations with the then fifty (50%) percent
owner of the common stock of RZ and one of its then two directors (the RZ Part Owner) to acquire
RZ pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the RZ Acquisition), to issue shares to the RZ Part
Owner, and for appointment of a Chief Executive Officer associated with RZ, which have terminated.
Following termination of negotiations, all of the persons associated with the development of the RZ
business resigned. The Company anticipated that the RZ Part Owner would be permitted to acquire
17,416,000 shares of the Company (34,832,000 following the 2:1 forward exchange effected May 17,
2010) from the pool of shares being sold by our former Chief Executive Officer and controlling
shareholder Benjamin C. Croxton at nominal cost. The shares were to be sold as a portion of a
block of shares (the Shares) being sold pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement by and among the
Company, Benjamin C. Croxton, the former controlling shareholder, and certain contemplated
purchasers (the Purchasers), as amended January 12, 2010, and as previously disclosed and more
fully described in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed February 3, 2010 (the Croxton Stock
Purchase Agreement). In connection with the purchase, our Chief Executive Gregory D. Cohen had
been appointed purchaser representative in order to effectuate the purchase and share allocations.
Various other prior investors and affiliates of RZ were contemplated to be some of the Purchasers,
for a total purchase price of $100,000 (the Purchase Price) to be paid to or on behalf of
Benjamin C. Croxton, a portion of which was to be held in escrow pending satisfaction of certain
conditions of the Croxton Stock Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Price had been advanced by an
unrelated individual, a prior investor in RZ, on behalf of the Purchasers pursuant to an
undocumented loan on their behalf, pending resolution of the matters described herein.
As a result of the contemplated purchase by the RZ Part Owner, he along with one of the other
Purchasers (the 5% Purchaser) would have become a beneficial owner of in excess of five (5%) of
the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company, following the closing of the negotiated RZ
Acquisition. In contemplation of the imminent closing of the RZ Acquisition, a Statement of
Beneficial Ownership for both the 5% Purchaser, and the RZ Part Owner was filed on a Schedule 13D
on March 30, 2010 and April 14, 2010, respectively. Prior to closing on the RZ Acquisition,
negotiations for the purchase of RZ broke down and have since been terminated without the purchase
by the RZ Part Owner or the 5% Purchaser of any common stock of the Company from Mr. Croxton; the
Company and the individual advancing the funds for the purchase of the Shares have restructured the
purchases from Mr. Croxton and agreed with various parties who had previously provided financing to
RZ directly, through common stock purchases, preferred stock purchases, loans and advances, to
permit purchases of common stock of the Company originally contemplated under the Croxton Stock
Purchase Agreement from the lender of the funds directly. As a result of the unanticipated extended period during which the
negotiations for purchase of the RZ business continued, and ultimately the discontinuance of all
negotiations and termination of all personnel, the Company elected to foreclose on its loan and to
acquire the RZ business under its foreclosed loan agreement. On May 15, 2010 the Company demanded
repayment of all outstanding amounts under the Demand Note and RZ has not satisfied its obligations
and the Company believes RZ is financially unable to satisfy its obligations to the Company. As a
result, on June 6, 2010, RZ entered into a Peaceful Possession Letter Agreement (the Agreement)
with the Company pursuant to which RZ granted the Company all rights of possession in and to the
collateral which secures the Demand Note, representing
5
substantially all of the assets of RZ in partial satisfaction with the Demand Note debt. Subsequently the Company, through an
Assignment Agreement (the Assignment Agreement), assigned the rights and possession of the
collateral to its subsidiary, RZ Acquisition Corp. Notwithstanding the conveyance of the RZ
assets, there can be no assurance that the business or assets of RZ have value or can be utilized
by the Company. The RZ Part Owner who had served as President of RZ and was responsible for the
development and maintenance of the RZ website has not agreed to perform any services for the
Company, and by action taken by the shareholders and directors, has been removed as an officer and
director of RZ. The effectiveness of such action and the effectiveness of the Agreement may be
challenged by the RZ Part Owner. The RZ website is currently inoperative and demand has been made
for the RZ Part Owner to release to the Company all property including administrator and other
rights to the RZ website but has not as of the date of this report been provided with such rights.
Various additional risks are faced by the Company as a result of obtaining the RZ business as a
result of foreclosure, including risks associated with challenges to the rights of the Company to
foreclose, claims from minority interest holders and other shareholders and lenders to RZ, claims
from the 49% stockholder of RZ and from any employees, consultants, independent contractors,
vendors or others associated with the RZ business. While operating, the RZ business was a
development stage company and had never generated any meaningful revenues, whose business and
operating costs were advanced by lenders and investors in RZ. There is no obligation to continue
to fund the business of RZ and as a result, the RZ business acquired by the Company may be
worthless. RZ presently has no employees or others who perform services necessary to maintain and
develop the website, generate traffic or revenues, or generally provide services on behalf of the
business. As a result the Company may not be able to continue to maintain or develop the RZ
business successfully or at all and may become involved in a dispute with the RZ Part Owner with
respect to the foreclosure action and other matters.
In addition, the Croxton Stock Purchase Agreement has been restructured and the undocumented
advance made on behalf of the various contemplated purchasers has been modified into a direct
purchase by one individual (the Buyer) of all of the 50,000,000 shares sold by Mr. Croxton
pursuant to the Croxton Stock Purchase Agreement (100,000,000 shares of common stock following the
2:1 forward exchange effected May 17, 2010) which is anticipated to be followed by offers made to
various private purchases (the Private Purchases) by various other persons in an amount to be
agreed, and at a purchase price to be agreed, with such seller. Michael Brauser currently holds
approximately forty-nine (49%) percent of the RZ shares and is a director of RZ. Such person, and
members of his family and trusts for such persons benefit, will beneficially own or control, upon
the closing of the Private Purchases, approximately eighteen (18%) percent of the issued and
outstanding common stock of the Company.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company disclaims each of the Schedule 13Ds filed on March
30, 2010 and April 14, 2010, and contends such filings are currently inaccurate and has notified
the representative of the filers that the filings should be corrected or amended. As a result of
the purchase of 50,000,000 shares sold by Mr. Croxton to the Buyer (100,000,000 shares of common
stock following the 2:1 forward exchange effected May 17, 2010), the Buyer will beneficially own in
excess of five (5%) percent of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company,
prior to disposition of any of the Shares.

Agreement, the Agreement and the Assignment Agreement are qualified in their entirety by the full texts thereof, which are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2,
10.3, 10.4, 10.5, 10.6 and 10.7 and are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

Item 3.03 Material Modification of the Rights of Security Holders.
As previously reported in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2009 filed on March 2, 2010, a majority of the voting capital stock of the Company
took action in lieu of a special meeting of stockholders authorizing the Company to enter into an
Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) with its newly-formed wholly-owned
subsidiary, EClips Media Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (EClips Media) for the
purpose of changing the state of incorporation of the Company to Delaware from Florida and pursuant
to which, upon the effective time of the merger, each issued and outstanding share of capital stock
of the Company would be exchanged into the right to receive two shares of EClips Media. The merger
became effective for the purposes of the Companys trading securities upon approval by FINRA on May
7, 2010 (the Commencement Date).
On the effective date of the Merger, (i) each issued and outstanding share of Common Stock of
the Company was converted into two (2) shares of EClips Media Common Stock, (ii) each issued and
outstanding share of Series D Preferred Stock of the Company was converted into two (2) shares of
EClips Media Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (each such share possessing 250 votes per share
and convertible on a share for share basis into EClips Media Common Stock) and (iii) the
outstanding share of EClips Media Common Stock held by the Company was retired and canceled. The
outstanding 6% convertible debentures due February 4, 2012 of the Company were assumed by EClips
Media and converted into outstanding 6% convertible debentures due February 4, 2012 of EClips
Media. All options and rights to acquire the Companys Common Stock, and all outstanding warrants
or rights outstanding to purchase the Companys Common Stock, automatically converted into
equivalent options, warrants and rights to purchase two (2) times the number of shares of EClips
Media Common Stock at fifty (50%) percent of the exercise, conversion or strike price of such
converted options, warrants and rights. All amounts set forth herein reflect the number or amount
of Eclipse Media shares after giving effect to the Merger. References herein to the Company
following the Commencement Date, shall mean EClips Media, a Delaware corporation.

Item 8.01 Other Events.
On
June 16, 2010 the Board of Directors determined that as a result of developments in the
Companys business, as described elsewhere in the Current Report on Form 8-K, and the limited
