Securities Purchase Agreement
The Securities Purchase Agreement provides for the purchase by the Buyer and the sale by the Company of the Debentures and the Warrant (collectively, the “Securities”). The Securities Purchase Agreement contains representations and warranties of the Company and the Buyers that are typical for transactions of this type. The representations and warranties made by the Company in the Securities Purchase Agreement are qualified by reference to certain exceptions contained in disclosure schedules delivered to the Buyer. Accordingly, the representations and warranties contained in the Securities Purchase Agreement should not be relied upon by third parties who have not reviewed those disclosure schedules and the documentation surrounding the transaction as a whole.
The Securities Purchase Agreement contains covenants on the part of the Company that are typical for transactions of this type, as well as the following covenants:
· Should the Company fail to timely remove a restrictive legend from a certificate of the shares of Common Stock issued and issuable upon the conversion of the Debentures and upon exercise of the Warrant (the “Underlying Shares”), the Company shall be required to pay the Buyer certain liquidated damages penalties.
· Until the time that no Buyer holds or has the right to acquire the Underlying Shares, the Company is required to maintain the registration of the Common Stock under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company pursuant to the Exchange Act even if the Company is not then subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.
· Should the Company, at any time commencing on September 1, 2012 and ending at such time as all of the Securities can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without restrictions on volume, fail to satisfy the public information requirement under Rule 144(c) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the Company shall pay the Buyer liquidated damages of 2% of its purchase price monthly until such public information failure has been cured or such time as public information is no longer required pursuant to Rule 144.
· Until the 12-month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company may not (i) issue additional shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible to, exchangeable for or exercisable for Common Stock with a price that varies or may vary with the market price of the Common Stock, or (ii) enter into any agreement, including, but not limited to, an equity line of credit, whereby the Company may sell securities at a future determined price.
· Until the one year anniversary of the Closing Date, the Buyer shall have the pro-rata right to participate in any financing of the Company on the same terms, conditions and price provided for in such financing.
The Securities Purchase Agreement also obligates the Company to indemnify the Buyers for certain losses resulting from (i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company or any obligation of the Company, and (ii) certain third party claims.
Senior Secured Convertible Debentures
Repayment
The Debenture was issued in the original aggregate principal amount of $35,000. The Company may purchase up to an aggregate of $500,000 of Debentures until October 19, 2012. The Debentures mature on October 19, 2012 (the “Maturity Date”), upon which such date the entire outstanding principal balance and any outstanding fees or interest will be due and payable in full. The Debentures bear interest at the rate of 8% per annum, which rate is increased to 16% upon and during the occurrence of an event of default (as described below). Interest on the Debentures is payable upon the Maturity Date.
Conversion
The Debentures, including accrued interest on such Debentures, are convertible at the option of the Buyer into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price equal to the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of conversion (the “Conversion Price”).
The Debentures contain certain limitations on conversion. For example, they provide that no conversion may be made if, after giving effect to the conversion, any Buyer would own in excess of 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock. This percentage may be increased to a percentage not to exceed 9.99%, at the option of such Buyer, except any increase will not be effective until 61 days’ prior notice to the Company.
The Debentures impose penalties on the Company for any failure to timely deliver any shares of its Common Stock issuable upon conversion.
Events of Default
The Debentures contains a variety of events of default that are typical for transactions of this type, as well as the following events:
· The Common Stock becoming ineligible for listing on a trading market for at least five trading days.
· The Company’s involvement in a change of control transaction or a sale or transfer of at least 40% of its assets.
· The Company’s inability to meet the current public information requirements under Rule 144 with respect to the Underlying Shares.
If there is an event of default, then by election of the Buyer, the entire principal and interest under the Debentures then outstanding, will be due and payable. Such amount shall accrue interest at a rate of 16% per annum commencing on the fifth calendar date following the relevant event of default.
Redemption
If at any time while the Debentures are outstanding, the Company completes a transaction resulting in gross proceeds to the Company equal to 2.5 times or greater than the outstanding amount of the Debentures, the Buyer may require the Company to redeem all or a portion of the Debentures.
Covenants
The Debentures contain a variety of covenants on the part of the Company that are typical for transactions of this type, as well as the following covenants, which may be waived upon written consent of the Buyer:
· The Company may not incur other indebtedness, except for certain permitted indebtedness.
· The Company may not redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire more than a de minimis number of shares of its Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents.
· The Company may not pay dividends or distributions on any equity securities of the Company.
· The Company may not enter an affiliate transaction material to the Company unless such transaction was approved by a majority of the Company’s disinterested directors.

The Company is prohibited from effecting the exercise of the Warrant to the extent that as a result of such exercise the holder of the exercised Warrant beneficially owns more than 4.99% in the aggregate of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock calculated immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of the Warrant. The Warrant contains provisions that protect the holder thereof against dilution by adjustment of the purchase price in certain events such as stock dividends, stock splits, issuances of securities at a purchase price less

If the Warrant is not exercised as aforesaid, the Warrant shall expire automatically at the end of such 10-day period.
Security Documents

On April 19, 2012, Blue Calypso, LLC, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, also executed a Subsidiary Guarantee in favor of the Buyer supporting the Company’s performance under the Debentures.

Any shares remaining in escrow at the end of the one-year period will be released to Mr. Levi.

Use of Funds

Although no formal agreement has been reached with such individual, it is currently anticipated that the individual will join the Company in July 2012 as Chief Executive Officer and will lead the commercialization efforts of the Blue Calypso platform. A portion of the funds raised in the Private Placement will be utilized to assist with the Company’s efforts to hire such person.
