8,000,000 Shares

Common Stock

This prospectus relates to an aggregate of up to 8,000,000 shares of our common stock which may be resold from time to time by the selling stockholders identified in this prospectus. The shares were transferred by Anthony Macaluso, our Chief Executive Officer, to the selling stockholders to provide a means of satisfying a judgment they hold against him, and certain related amounts. Once the judgment and such related amounts owed have been satisfied by net proceeds of sales of the share (or otherwise), any further net proceeds will be paid over to Mr. Macaluso, and/or any remaining shares will be transferred back to Mr. Macaluso. The selling stockholders may sell common stock from time to time in the open market (at the prevailing market price) or in negotiated transactions.

You should read this prospectus and any prospectus supplement carefully before you invest. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares by any of the selling stockholders.

Our common stock is traded on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “SITO”. On November 9, 2010, the last reported closing sale price of our common stock was $1.00 per share.

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. See “ Risk Factors ” beginning on page 2 for certain risks you should consider before purchasing any shares.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

CAUTION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Some of the statements contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and we intend that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors created thereby. These statements are based on the current expectations, forecasts, and assumptions of our management and are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are sometimes identified by language such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “projects,” “future” and similar expressions and may also include references to plans, strategies, objectives, and anticipated future performance as well as other statements that are not strictly historical in nature. The risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in this prospectus include, but are not limited to, those noted under the caption “Risk Factors” beginning on page 2 of this prospectus. Readers should carefully review this information as well the risks and other uncertainties described in other filings we may make after the date of this prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. They reflect opinions, assumptions, and estimates only as of the date they were made, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements in this prospectus, whether as a result of new information, future events or circumstances, or otherwise.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary highlights the information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. Because this is only a summary, it does not contain all of the information that you should consider before buying shares of our common stock. You should read the entire prospectus and any prospectus supplements carefully, especially the sections entitled “Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” together with our financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus and in any prospectus supplements related hereto, before deciding to purchase shares of our common stock.

We have developed and are deploying a scalable messaging and voice based enterprise level solution. Our technology enables the delivery of mission-critical messaging across multiple communication channels. With gateways that connect directly into the infrastructure of all key mobile-network operators, we guarantee delivery and receipt of massive quantities of messages in real time, to and from any application or platform.

Our solution is designed to drive return on investment for high volume clients and/or customized branded advertisers. Our platform and tools are designed to enable large brands or anyone with substantial reach to utilize the mobile device as a new means to communicate. Communication might be in the form of a reminder message, a coupon, an advertisement or a voice call. Regardless of the form, our platform can drive value and cost savings for companies large and small, and the ability to drive contextually relevant advertising messages to the right audience.

Our business has focused on leveraging our solution in the areas of messaging/notifications and Abbreviated Dial Codes.

Currently, over 90% of our revenues are paid to us through AT&T Services, Inc., and currently the bulk of that revenue comes from notifications sent on behalf of Walmart. We are primarily a B2B player and/or white label service, and do not seek to have a consumer brand presence for our own name.

For a more complete description of our business, please see “Business,” beginning on page 11.

All of the shares covered by this prospectus are being offered for resale by the selling stockholders named in this prospectus. We will not receive any proceeds from any sale of the shares.

RISK FACTORS

Your investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should consider the risks described below and the other information contained in this prospectus carefully before deciding to invest in our common stock. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and operating results could be harmed. As a result, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose a part or all of your investment.

We currently rely on brand owners, and especially Walmart, to use our programs to satisfy their communication needs and thereby to indirectly generate our revenues from wireless carriers. The loss of or a change in any of these significant relationships could materially reduce our revenues.

Both are present and our future depend heavily on our relationship with Walmart. We must retain our current business there and expand the relationship into augmented programs, both for its own sake and as a reference point for possible similar business with other retailers and brand owners. Our relationship with Walmart is subject to risk based on factors such as performance, reliability, pricing, competition, alternate technological solutions and changes in interpersonal relationships.

We currently rely on wireless carriers, and especially AT&T, to market and distribute our products and services and to generate our revenues. The loss of or a change in any of these significant carrier relationships could cause us to lose access to their subscribers and thus materially reduce our revenues.

Our future success is highly dependent upon maintaining successful relationships with wireless carriers. A significant portion of our revenue has always been derived from a very limited number of carriers, and currently over 90% of our revenues are paid to us through AT&T Services, Inc. We expect that we will continue to generate a substantial majority of our revenues through distribution relationships with a limited number of carriers for the foreseeable future. Our failure to maintain our relationships with these carriers would materially reduce our revenues and thus harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

Typically, carrier agreements have a term of one or two years with automatic renewal provisions upon expiration of the initial term, absent a contrary notice from either party. In addition, some carrier agreements, including our key agreement with AT&T Services, Inc., provide that the carrier can terminate the agreement early and, in some instances, at any time without cause, which could give them the ability to renegotiate economic or other terms. The agreements generally do not obligate the carriers to market or distribute any of our products or services. In many of these agreements, we warrant that our products do not violate community standards, do not contain libelous content, do not contain material defects or viruses, and do not violate third-party intellectual property rights and we indemnify the carrier for any breach of a third party’s intellectual property.

Many other factors outside our control could impair our ability to generate revenues through a given carrier, including the following:

 

   

the carrier’s preference for our competitors’ products and services rather than ours;

 

   

the carrier’s decision to discontinue the sale of some or all of our products and services;

 

   

the carrier’s decision to offer similar products and services to its subscribers without charge or at reduced prices;

 

   

the carrier’s decision to restrict or alter subscription or other terms for downloading our products and services;

 

   

a failure of the carrier’s merchandising, provisioning or billing systems;

 

   

the carrier’s decision to offer its own competing products and services;

 

   

the carrier’s decision to transition to different platforms and revenue models; and

 

   

consolidation among carriers.

If any of our carriers decides not to market or distribute our products and services or decides to terminate, not renew or modify the terms of its agreement with us or if there is consolidation among carriers generally, we may be unable to replace the affected agreement with acceptable alternatives, causing us to lose access to that carrier’s subscribers and the revenues they afford us, which could materially harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

We may be unable to develop and introduce in a timely way new products or services.

The planned timing and introduction of new products and services are subject to risks and uncertainties. Unexpected technical, operational, deployment, distribution or other problems could delay or prevent the introduction of new products and services, which could result in a loss of, or delay in, revenues.

We may need to raise additional capital to meet our business requirements in the future and such capital raising may be costly or difficult to obtain and could dilute current stockholders’ ownership interests.

 

3


Table of Contents

 

We may need to raise additional capital in the future, which may not be available on reasonable terms or at all. The raising of additional capital may dilute our current stockholders’ ownership interests. Our present income from operations is insufficient to achieve our business plan. We may need to raise additional funds through public or private debt or equity financings to meet various objectives including, but not limited to:

 

   

pursuing growth opportunities, including more rapid expansion;

 

   

acquiring complementary businesses;

 

   

making capital improvements to improve our infrastructure;

 

   

hiring qualified management and key employees;

 

   

developing new services, programming or products;

 

   

responding to competitive pressures;

 

   

complying with regulatory requirements such as licensing and registration; and

 

   

maintaining compliance with applicable laws.

Any additional capital raised through the sale of equity or equity backed securities may dilute current stockholders’ ownership percentages and could also result in a decrease in the fair market value of our equity securities. The terms of those securities issued by us in future capital transactions may be more favorable to new investors, and may include preferences, superior voting rights and the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, which may have a further dilutive effect.

Furthermore, any additional debt or equity financing that we may need may not be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. If we are unable to obtain required additional capital, we may have to curtail our growth plans or cut back on existing business and, further, we may not be able to continue operating if we do not generate sufficient revenues from operations needed to stay in business.

We may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, securities law compliance fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which may adversely impact our reported financial results.

We may not be able to effectively manage our growth.

Our strategy envisions growing our business. Even if we do grow, if we fail to effectively manage our growth our financial results could be adversely affected. Growth may place a strain on our management systems and resources. We must continue to refine and expand our business development capabilities, our systems and processes and our access to financing sources. As we grow, we must continue to hire, train, supervise and manage new employees. We cannot assure you that we will be able to:

 

   

meet our capital needs;

 

   

expand our systems effectively or efficiently or in a timely manner;

 

   

allocate our human resources optimally; or

 

   

identify and hire qualified employees or retain valued employees.

If we are unable to manage our growth and our operations our financial results could be adversely affected.

Table of Contents

 

Our management ranks are thin, and losing or failing to add key personnel could affect our ability to successfully grow our business.

Our future performance depends substantially on the continued service of our senior management and other key personnel, including personnel which we need to hire. In particular, our success depends upon the continued efforts of our management personnel, including our President and Chief Executive Officer, Anthony Macaluso, and other members of the senior management team. We need to identify and hire additional senior managers to perform key tasks and roles.

Our inability to adequately protect or monetize our proprietary technology could adversely affect our business.

Our proprietary technology is one of the keys to our performance and ability to remain competitive. We rely on a combination of patent, copyright and trade secret laws to establish and protect our proprietary rights. We also use technical measures, confidentiality agreements and non-compete agreements to protect our proprietary rights.

We rely on copyright laws and/or trade secret laws to protect the source code for our proprietary software. We generally enter into agreements with our employees and consultants and limit access to and distribution of our software, documentation and other proprietary information. The steps we take to protect our proprietary information may not prevent misappropriation of our technology, and the agreements we enter into for that purpose might not be enforceable. A third party might obtain and use our software or other proprietary information without authorization or develop similar software independently. It is difficult for us to police the unauthorized use of our technology, particularly because the global nature of the Internet makes it difficult to control the ultimate destination or security of software or other transmitted data. The laws of other countries may not provide us with adequate or effective protection of our intellectual property.

In fact, we believe competitors our violating some of our patents. We believe this is damaging our business. Due to our limited resources, it may be risky or difficult for us to undertake legal actions to enjoin violations of our patent rights and/or compel compensation for use of those rights. If we are required to contract with third parties who would take on some of this enforcement risk, there would be no assurance of success and, even in the event of success, the third party would require a financial return to compensate it for its enforcement efforts and contributions.

Competitors might be able to work around our patents and our other intellectual property.

Applicable rules, including those contained in and issued under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, may be burdensome to us and/or make it difficult for us to retain or attract qualified officers and directors, which could adversely affect the management of our business.

We may be unable to attract and retain those qualified officers, directors and members of board committees required to provide for our effective management because of the rules and regulations that govern publicly held companies. The enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has resulted in the issuance of a series of rules and regulations and the strengthening of existing rules and regulations by the SEC, as well as the adoption of new and more stringent rules by national securities exchanges. The perceived increased personal risk associated with these recent changes may deter qualified individuals from accepting roles as directors and executive officers.

Further, some of these recent changes heighten the requirements for board or committee membership, particularly with respect to an individual’s independence from the corporation and level of experience in finance and accounting matters. We may have difficulty attracting and retaining directors with the requisite qualifications. If we are unable to attract and retain qualified officers and directors, the management of our business and our ability to obtain or retain listing of our shares of common stock on any national securities exchange (assuming we elect to seek and are successful in obtaining such listing) could be adversely affected.

Table of Contents

 

We are subject to competition.

We have many actual and potential competitors, almost all of whom have more financial, personnel, intellectual property and/or reputational resources than we do. If we and our business do not grow larger, we will not be able to enjoy the economies of scale that many of our competitors do.

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or detect fraud. Consequently, investors could lose confidence in our financial reporting and this may decrease the trading price of our stock.

We must maintain effective internal controls to provide reliable financial reports and detect fraud. We will be assessing our internal controls to identify areas that need improvement. Failure to implement any required changes to our internal controls or any others that we identify as necessary to maintain an effective system of internal controls could harm our operating results and cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information. Any such loss of confidence would have a negative effect on the trading price of our stock.

Also, and in any event, Sarbanes-Oxley Act requirements regarding internal control over financial reporting are costly to implement and maintain, and such costs are relatively more burdensome for smaller companies such as us than for larger companies.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR INDUSTRY

If wireless subscribers do not continue to use their mobile handsets to access mobile content and other applications, our business growth and future revenues may be adversely affected.

We operate in a developing industry. Our success depends on growth in the number of wireless subscribers who use their handsets to receive information and access data services and, in particular, applications of the type we develop and distribute. New or different mobile applications developed by our current or future competitors may be preferred by subscribers to our offerings. In addition, other mobile platforms may become widespread, and end users may choose to switch to these platforms. If the market for our products and services does not continue to grow or we are unable to acquire new end users, our business growth and future revenues could be adversely affected.

System or network failures could reduce our sales, increase costs or result in a loss of end users of our products and services.

Mobile content delivery relies on wireless carrier networks to deliver products and services to end users. In certain circumstances, mobile content distributors may also rely on their own servers to deliver products on demand to end users through their carriers’ networks. In addition, certain products require access over the mobile Internet to our servers in order to enable certain features. Any failure of, or technical problem with, carriers’, third parties’ or billing systems, delivery or information systems, or communications networks could result in the inability of end users to receive communications or download our products, prevent the completion of a billing transaction, or interfere with access to some aspects of our products. If any of these systems fails or if there is an interruption in the supply of power, an earthquake, fire, flood or other natural disaster, or an act of war or terrorism, end users might be unable to access our offerings. For example, from time to time, our carriers have experienced failures with their billing and delivery systems and communication networks, including gateway failures that reduced the provisioning capacity of their branded e-commerce system. Any failure of, or technical problem with, the carriers’, other third parties’ or our systems could cause us to lose end users or revenues or incur substantial repair costs and distract management from operating our business, or persuade retailers or brand owners that solutions utilizing our programs are not sufficiently reliable. This, in turn, could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

Our business depends on the growth and maintenance of wireless communications infrastructure.

Our success will depend on the continued growth and maintenance of wireless communications infrastructure in the United States and internationally. This includes deployment and maintenance of reliable next-generation digital networks with the speed, data capacity and security necessary to provide reliable wireless communications services. We have no control over this. Wireless communications infrastructure may be unable to

Table of Contents

support the demands placed on it if the number of subscribers continues to increase, or if existing or future subscribers increase their bandwidth requirements. Wireless communications have experienced a variety of outages and other delays as a result of infrastructure and equipment failures, and could face outages and delays in the future. These outages and delays could reduce the level of wireless communications usage as well as our ability to distribute our products and services successfully. In addition, changes by a wireless carrier to network infrastructure may interfere with downloads and may cause end users to lose functionality. This could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

Actual or perceived security vulnerabilities in mobile handsets or wireless networks could adversely affect our revenues.

Maintaining the security of mobile handsets and wireless networks is critical for our business. There are individuals and groups who develop and deploy viruses, worms and other illicit code or malicious software programs that may attack wireless networks and handsets. Security experts have identified computer “worm” programs that target handsets running on certain operating systems. Although these worms have not been widely released and do not present an immediate risk to our business, we believe future threats could lead some end users to seek to reduce or delay future purchases of our products or reduce or delay the use of their handsets, or persuade retailers or brand owners that solutions utilizing our programs are not sufficiently reliable. Wireless carriers and handset manufacturers may also increase their expenditures on protecting their wireless networks and mobile phone products from attack, which could delay adoption of new handset models. Any of these activities could adversely affect our revenues and this could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

It is possible that laws and regulations may be adopted in the United States and elsewhere that could restrict the media and wireless communications industries, including laws and regulations regarding customer privacy, taxation, content suitability, copyright, distribution and antitrust. Such news laws and regulations, if any, might be adverse to our business interest. Furthermore, the growth and development of the market for electronic commerce may prompt calls for more stringent consumer protection laws that may impose additional burdens on companies such as ours conducting business through wireless carriers. We anticipate that regulation of our industry will increase and that we will be required to devote legal and other resources to address this regulation. Changes in current laws or regulations or the imposition of new laws and regulations in the United States or elsewhere regarding the media and wireless communications industries may lessen the growth of wireless communications services and may materially reduce our ability to increase or maintain sales of our products and services.

We may experience unexpected expenses or delays in service enhancements if we are unable to license third-party technology on commercially reasonable terms.

We rely on technology that we license from third parties, and may find a need to license additional technology in the future. These third-party technology licenses might not continue to be available to us on commercially reasonable terms or at all. If we are unable to obtain or maintain these licenses on favorable terms, or at all, we could experience delays in completing and developing our products and services.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK

Our common stock is not traded on any national securities exchange.

Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and is not heavily traded, which may increase price quotation volatility and could limit the liquidity of the common stock, all of which may adversely affect the market price of the common stock and our ability to raise additional capital.

Trading in our stock over the last 12 months has been limited, so investors may not be able to sell as much stock as they want at prevailing prices.

The average daily trading volume in our common stock for the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2010 was approximately 75,000 shares. If limited trading in our stock continues, it may be difficult for investors to sell or buy substantial quantities of shares in the public market at any given time at prevailing prices.

Table of Contents

 

Applicable SEC rules governing the trading of “penny stocks” limits the trading and liquidity of the common stock which may affect the trading price of the common stock.

Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, and trades below $5.00 per share; therefore, the common stock is considered a “penny stock” and subject to SEC rules and regulations which impose limitations upon the manner in which such shares may be publicly traded. These regulations require the delivery, before any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure explaining the penny stock market and the associated risks. Under these regulations, certain brokers who recommend such securities to persons other than established customers or certain accredited investors must make a special written suitability determination regarding such a purchaser and receive such purchaser’s written agreement to a transaction before sale. In addition, margin regulations prevent low-priced stocks such as ours from being used as collateral for brokers’ margin loans to investors. These regulations have the effect of limiting the trading activity of the common stock and reducing the liquidity of an investment in our common stock.

The price of our common stock has been and may continue to be volatile, which could lead to losses by investors and costly securities litigation.

The trading price of our common stock has been and is likely to continue to be volatile and could fluctuate in response to factors such as:

 

   

actual or anticipated variations in our operating results and prospects;

 

   

announcements of technological innovations by us or our competitors;

 

   

announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;

 

   

additions or departures of key personnel;

 

   

Introduction of new services by us or our competitors;

 

   

sales of our common stock or other securities in the open market; and

 

   

other events or factors, many of which are beyond our control.

The stock market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations, which have often been unrelated to the operating performance of these companies, and in particular the market prices of stock in smaller companies and technology companies have been highly volatile. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been initiated against the company. Litigation initiated against us, whether or not successful, could result in substantial costs and diversion of our management’s attention and resources, which could harm our business and financial condition.

We do not expect any cash dividends to be paid on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

We have never declared or paid a cash dividend on our common stock, and we do not anticipate such a declaration or payment for the foreseeable future. We expect to use future earnings, if any, to fund business growth. Consequently, stockholders’ only opportunity to achieve a return on your investment is if the price of our common stock appreciates and they sell their shares at a profit. We cannot assure stockholders of a positive return on their investment when they sell their shares, nor can we assure that stockholders will not lose the entire amount of their investment.

Securities analysts may not initiate coverage or continue to cover our common stock and this may have a negative impact on its market price.

Common stock prices are often significantly influenced by the research and reports that securities analysts publish about companies and their business. We do not have any control over these analysts. There is no guarantee that securities analysts will cover our common stock. If securities analysts do not cover our common stock, the lack of research coverage may adversely affect its market price. If we are covered by securities analysts, and our stock is downgraded, our stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases to cover us or fails to publish regular reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.

You may experience dilution of your ownership interests because of the future issuance of additional shares of our common stock and our preferred stock.

We have aggressively issued common stock and other equity-based securities in support of our business objectives and initiatives. In the future, we may issue our authorized but previously unissued equity securities, resulting in the dilution of the ownership interests of our present stockholders. We are currently authorized to issue an aggregate of 205,000,000 shares of capital stock consisting of 200,000,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with preferences and rights to be determined by our Board of Directors. As of September 30, 2010, there were 123,176,892 shares of common stock outstanding, 8,675,000 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options and 40,979,123 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of outstanding warrants and convertible notes. The holders of such options, warrants, and convertible securities can be expected to exercise (convert) them at a time when our common stock is trading at a price higher than the exercise (conversion) price of these outstanding options, warrants, and convertible securities. If these options or warrants to purchase our common stock are exercised, convertible debt is converted or other equity interests are granted under our 2008 or 2009 stock plans, or under other plans or agreements adopted in the future, such equity interests will have a dilutive effect on your ownership of common stock. We may also issue additional shares of our common stock or other securities that are convertible into or exercisable for common stock in connection with hiring or retaining employees, future acquisitions, future sales of our securities for capital raising purposes, or for other business purposes. Such securities may be issued at below-market prices or, in any event, prices that are significantly lower than the price at which you may have paid for your shares. The future issuance of any such securities may create downward pressure on the trading price of our common stock.

We are controlled by our Chief Executive Officer/major stockholder Anthony Macaluso.

Anthony Macaluso, our Chief Executive Officer, beneficially owns approximately 38% of our outstanding common stock, on a Rule 13d-3 basis. Such concentrated control of the Company may adversely affect the price of our common stock. Because of his high percentage of beneficial ownership, and his positions as an officer and director, Mr. Macaluso may be able to control matters requiring the vote of stockholders, including the election of our board of directors and certain other significant corporate actions. This control could delay, defer or prevent others from initiating a potential merger, takeover or other change in our control, even if these actions would benefit our other stockholders and us. This control could adversely affect the voting and other rights of our stockholders and could depress the market price of our common stock. If you acquire common stock, you may have no effective voice in the management of the Company.

Our income statements are heavily influenced by non-cash charges, which may negatively influence investors’ view of us.

Investors like companies which report income statement profits (or relatively small net losses), and do not like companies which report large losses on their income statements. In recent years our income statements’ reported losses have been increased by large non-cash charges such as those for non-employee stock-based compensation, employee stock-based compensation, net loss on settlement of indebtedness (with below-market stock issuances), and changes in the fair value of derivative liability. This could make it more difficult for some investors to easily understand our operations and the situation of our business, especially if they prefer to use traditional stock valuation metrics and multiples; and it could cause some investors to disregard us or to view us negatively. This could affect the demand for our stock, and adversely affect our stock price. It is possible that we will take actions which result in such charges on our future statements of income; but whether or not we do, the past instances of charges will continue to be reflected in the current-period-versus-past-period comparisons which are used in our SEC reports and by investors and analysts.

Even though we are not a California corporation, our common stock could still be subject to a number of key provisions of the California General Corporation Law.

Under Section 2115 of the California General Corporation Law, or CGCL, non-listed corporations not organized under California law may still be subject to a number of key provisions of the CGCL. This determination is based on whether the corporation has specific significant business contacts with California and if more than 50% of its voting securities are held of record by persons having addresses in California. In the immediate future, arguably a majority of the business operations, revenue and payroll will be conducted in, derived from, and paid to residents of California. Therefore, we could be subject to certain provisions of the CGCL. Among the more important provisions are those relating to the election and removal of directors, cumulative voting, standards of liability and indemnification of directors, distributions, dividends and repurchases of shares, shareholder meetings, approval of certain corporate transactions, dissenters’ rights, and inspection of corporate records.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any proceeds from the sales, if any, of the common stock covered by this prospectus. All net proceeds from the sale of the common stock covered by this prospectus will go to the selling stockholders or, under certain circumstances, to Anthony Macaluso. See “Selling Stockholders” and “Plan of Distribution” described below.

Dividends

We have never paid or declared any cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future but rather intend to retain future earnings, if any, for reinvestment in our future business. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be in compliance with our contractual obligations and otherwise at the discretion of the board of directors and based upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and such other factors as the board of directors deems relevant.

BUSINESS

General

We were incorporated in Delaware on May 31, 2000, under our original name, Hosting Site Network, Inc. On May 12, 2008, we changed our name to Single Touch Systems Inc. In the periods before the acquisition described in the next sentence, we had no active business operations. On July 24, 2008, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of Single Touch Interactive, Inc. (“Interactive”). Interactive was incorporated in Nevada on April 2, 2002.

We have developed and are deploying a scalable messaging and voice based enterprise level solution. Our technology enables the delivery of mission-critical messaging across multiple communication channels. With gateways that connect directly into the infrastructure of all key mobile-network operators, we guarantee delivery and receipt of massive quantities of messages in real time, to and from any application or platform.

Our solution is designed to drive return on investment for high volume clients and/or customized branded advertisers. Our platform and tools are designed to enable large brands or anyone with substantial reach to utilize the mobile device as a new means to communicate. Communication might be in the form of a reminder message, a coupon, an advertisement or a voice call. Regardless of the form, our platform can drive value and cost savings for companies large and small, and the ability to drive contextually relevant advertising messages to the right audience.

Currently, over 90% of our revenues are paid to us through AT&T Services, Inc., and currently the bulk of that revenue comes from notifications sent on behalf of Walmart. We are primarily a B2B player and/or white label service, and do not seek to have a consumer brand presence for our own name.

Background of Industry Growth and Potential

Cell phone penetration and usage are becoming almost ubiquitous, and business applications utilizing cell phones are growing rapidly.

AT&T Wireless and Verizon Wireless continue to be the dominant US wireless providers. (AT&T Wireless and Verizon Wireless had 90 million and 92 million subscribers, respectively, at June 30, 2010 1 ). For many consumers, cellular phones have already made the transition from a communication device to a media-consumption device. With continuing technological advancements, people are becoming more dependent on their cell phones and less dependent on landlines. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported in May 2010 that, as of 2009, 25% of American households (and about half of Americans age 25-29) have cell phones but no landline.

Principal Products and Services

Messaging and Notifications – Our Short Message Service (SMS) gateway offers a hosted messaging platform to SMS-enable any application, website or system. We enable the immediate capability to deliver and receive messages to and from any application, via our messaging platform.

An example of our solution running today is Walmart. Walmart pharmacy departments send individualized text messages through our gateway, to their customers letting them know when their prescriptions are ready for pickup. Potentially, we would be able to not only send customers a reminder but also let them know that a product is on sale, provide product information or product reviews, display inventory levels or enable a click-through connection to customer service.

Abbreviated Dial Codes – Abbreviated Dial Codes (ADCs) enable completion of a mobile call by pushing fewer digits than in a standard telephone number. (Think of dialing 411 for information.) We enable ADC programs for enterprises. Solutions such as #BET, #MTV and #WMT (for Wal-Mart) are examples of such programs. ADCs are as easy as (indeed, even easier than) making a phone call, can be used on all mobile phones and enable everyone to have access to content, coupons, reviews, connections to customer service, etc. All of our ADCs begin with the # symbol.

We own important patents for ADC or # programs, and are considering ways to protect and/or monetize our intellectual property rights in this area.

Although our mobile business began with ADCs, we have recently been transitioning to a focus on messaging and notifications.

Material Agreements

Our business agreements consist primarily of customer agreements and carrier agreements. Customer agreements are typically agreements with companies which have sales relationships with the end users of the transacted media content or service application. These agreements typically involve a split of the fees received between the brand owner and us or a fixed fee per transaction. Carrier agreements are infrastructure in nature and establish the connection to the end user that enables us to deliver and collect payment for the transacted media content or service application. Carrier agreements typically involve a split of the fees received between the carrier and us.

Our services agreement with AT&T Services, Inc., as amended, provides among other things that we shall provision, implement and maintain the ADC Registry Program to be licensed for use by AT&T for the purpose of marketing and promoting customer retail locations and other programs. AT&T may terminate the agreement at any time on upon proper written notice as provided in the agreement.

Research and Development

During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008 we spent $0.8 million and $0.5 million, respectively, on software development which was capitalized. Software development costs amortized and charged to operations (i.e., expensed) in fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008 were $0.7 million and $0.5 million, respectively. In addition, in fiscal 2009 we charged off $0.3 million in development costs (and $5.4 million with respect to an acquired portfolio of software patents and patent applications) we deemed impaired. We expect our spending on research and development during the 2010 fiscal year to be lower.

Our research and development activities relate primarily to general coding of software and product development. These activities consist of both new products and support or improvements to existing products. Certain of our research and development resources are dedicated to improving our ADC programs while others are dedicated to refining our mobile notification and couponing products.

We believe that we may need to increase our current level of dedicated research and development resources by adding both hardware and engineers.

Government Regulation

We provide value added and enabling platforms for carrier based distribution of various software and media content, as well as

notifications and other communications. Applicable regulations are primarily under the Federal Communications Commission and related to the operations policies and procedures of the wireless communications carriers. The wireless carriers are primarily responsible for regulatory compliance. Given the growing and dynamic evolution of digital wireless products that can be offered to consumers over a wireless communication network, regulators could impose rules, requirements and standards of conduct on third party content and infrastructure providers such as us. We are not currently aware of any pending regulations that would materially impact our operations.

Employees

We currently have 14 full time and no part-time employees including our chief executive officer, 7 persons serving as programmers and technical staff operators, 3 persons in sales and marketing, 2 persons in finance and 1 administrative assistant. We expect to increase our future employee levels on an as needed basis in connection with our expected growth.

Properties

Our executive offices are located at 2235 Encinitas Blvd., Suite 210, Encinitas, CA 92024. We have a month-to-month renewal lease for this space, beginning August 1, 2010, at a rate of $8,000 per month. The facilities comprise approximately 5000 square feet consisting entirely of administrative and software development office space.

Our servers are housed at CoreSite, 900 N. Alameda Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012. We have a revised informal month-to-month lease for the servers, certain other equipment, fixtures and furniture, an analytics platform and other software, and certain service accounts, beginning July 1, 2010, at a rate of $22,500 per month. The lessor is Soapbox Media, Inc., which is majority-owned by Anthony Macaluso, our chief executive officer.

Legal Proceedings

In July 2010, our wholly owned subsidiary Single Touch Interactive, Inc. was sued for breach of contract by Panzarella Consulting, LLC in the United States District Court for Nevada. Panzarella Consulting, LLC alleges that between September 2008 and January 2009, it sought to exercise Warrants issued by Interactive in 2005 to receive common stock in the Company, and seeks damages for the difference between the claimed exercise price and the price our stock was trading for at the time of the alleged exercise of the Warrants. We have no record of Panzarella Consulting, LLC, during that time period, tendering the Warrants, the required Form(s) of Subscription, or the payment that would be required to exercise the Warrants. There is no net-exercise alternative in said Warrants. In addition, we believe Panzarella Consulting transferred the Warrants in 2007. We have filed a motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction and a hearing is set for November 29, 2010.

From time to time we may be named in claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Currently, no additional legal proceedings or claims are pending against or involve us that, in the opinion of management, could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes thereto. The Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Any statements that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. When used, the words “believe,” “plan,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “target,” “estimate,” “expect,” and the like, and/or future-tense or conditional constructions (“will,” “may,” “could,” “should,” etc.), or similar expressions, identify certain of these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements in this Prospectus. Our actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of several factors such as those in the Risk Factors section above. We do not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this Prospectus.

Overview

For several years before July 24, 2008, we existed as a “shell company” with nominal assets. On July 24, 2008, we acquired all of the shares of Single Touch Interactive, Inc. in exchange for our issuance of an aggregate of 42,967,554 shares of our common stock; in addition, we assumed the obligation to issue up to 48,027,433 common shares issuable upon exercise or conversion of warrants and convertible notes which had been issued by Single Touch Interactive, Inc. The transaction was accounted for as a reverse merger (recapitalization) with Single Touch Interactive, Inc. deemed to be the accounting acquirer, and Single Touch Systems Inc. the legal acquirer.

Throughout our history our operations have been constrained by our ability to raise funds, and our liquidity has been an ongoing issue. We have received debt and equity investments both from insiders and from private investors. We have always had negative cash flows from operations and net operating losses, although the size of the net operating losses has been magnified by a variety of non-cash accounting charges. We believe, however, that recent events have significantly improved our liquidity.

Currently, over 90% of our revenues are paid to us through AT&T Services, Inc., and currently the bulk of that revenue comes from notifications sent on behalf of Walmart. We believe that, beginning in the fourth quarter of our 2010 fiscal year, we are gaining traction in the Walmart related programs we have developed with Walmart and AT&T over the past two years; as these programs and related services continue the recent rollout nationwide we anticipate this increasing activity will indirectly cause our AT&T revenues to grow.

We have developed and are deploying a scalable messaging and voice based enterprise level solution. Our technology enables the delivery of mission-critical messaging across multiple communication channels. With gateways that connect directly into the infrastructure of all key mobile-network operators, we guarantee delivery and receipt of massive quantities of messages in real time, to and from any application or platform.

Our solution is designed to drive return on investment for high volume clients and/or customized branded advertisers. Our platform and tools are designed to enable large brands or anyone with substantial reach to utilize the mobile device as a new means to communicate. Communication might be in the form of a reminder message, a coupon, an advertisement or a voice call. Regardless of the form, our platform can drive value and cost savings for companies large and small, and the ability to drive contextually relevant advertising messages to the right audience.

Our business has focused on leveraging our solution in the areas of messaging/notifications and Abbreviated Dial Codes.

As we expand operational activities, we may continue to experience operating losses and/or negative cash flows from operations and may be required to obtain additional financing to fund operations.

Our operating history makes predictions of future operating results difficult to ascertain. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in our stage of development. Such risks include, but are not limited to, an evolving business model and the management of growth. To address these risks we must, among other things, diversify our customer base, implement and successfully execute our business and marketing strategy, continue to develop and upgrade technology and products, respond to competitive developments, and attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in addressing such risks, and the failure to do so can have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Results of Operations

Nine-Months Ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009

Revenues for the nine-month period ending June 30, 2010 were $0.3 million, a decrease of 66% from revenues of $0.8 million for the comparable period in fiscal 2009. The revenue decrease was primarily caused by the termination of our services to Teligence and Lavalife in December 2009. This was a reflection of our migration of our business model from a top line billing amount model (e.g., we would receive a consumer’s purchase payment and then be obliged to manage outbound payments such as to carriers, music publishers, brand owners, etc.) to a pure-transaction-based model (e.g., we receive a per-message fee for our service). The effect of this business model change is to gross down both our stated revenues and our stated expenses.

We reported a $5.7 million net operating loss and a (total) net loss of $16.9 million for the nine-months ended June 30, 2010 — compared to a $17.0 million net operating loss and a (total) net loss of $7.6 million for the nine-months ended June 30, 2009.

The primary causes of the $11.3 million reduction in net operating loss were an $8.1 million reduction in non-employee stock-based compensation ($1.2 million versus $9.2 million) and a $5.2 million reduction in research and development expenses ($0.1 million versus $5.3 million). On the other hand, the fiscal 2010 period included a $1.9 million net loss on settlement of indebtedness (i.e., we settled $1.0 million of indebtedness by issuing new shares at below-market valuations).

The fiscal 2009 period’s non-employee stock-based compensation was for non-cash amortization of the original valuation of compensatory warrants we issued in October 2008 to Peltz Capital Management, LLC. The 2009 period’s research and development expenses included a $5.4 million write-down of patents and patent applications immediately after they were acquired in June 2009.

Our net operating loss was $11.3 million lower in the fiscal 2010 period than in the fiscal 2009 period, but our (total) net loss was $9.3 million higher in the fiscal 2010 period than in the fiscal 2009 period. The primary reason for this $20.6 million swing was a non-cash, non-operating item, changes in the value of our derivative liability relating to the warrants we issued in October 2008 to Peltz Capital Management, LLC. Our derivative liability pertains to our requirement to register the underlying shares associated with this warrant grant pursuant to ASC Topic 815-40, formerly EITF Issue No. 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock.” We value the warrant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. In the fiscal 2010 period we had a positive change of $10.7 million in the value of our derivative liability relating to the warrants. When our stock goes up, the value of our derivative liability goes up, increasing net loss (although not affecting cash). In the fiscal 2009 period we had a negative change of $9.6 million in the value of our derivative liability relating to the warrants. When our stock goes down, the value of our derivative liability goes down, decreasing net loss (although not affecting cash).

Years Ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008

During the fiscal year ending September 30, 2009, we had revenues of $0.8 million and experienced a net operating loss of $22.2 million and a net loss of $13.6 million.

During the fiscal year ending September 30, 2008, we had revenues of $1.7 million and experienced a net operating loss of $9.7 million and a net loss of $11.1 million.

Although our revenues decreased by $0.9 million (53%) in fiscal 2009, the major difference in our net operating loss for the respective fiscal years was the $11.6 million increase in our operating expenses to $23.0 million in fiscal 2009 as compared to $11.4 million in fiscal 2008. The increase in operating expenses was primarily driven by a $10.4 million increase in non-employee stock-based compensation ($12.7 million versus $2.3 million) and a $5.4 million impairment loss on the patents and patent applications acquired in June 2009 from StreamWorks Technologies, Inc. Almost all the $12.7 million of non-employee stock-based compensation in fiscal 2009 is for non-cash amortization of the original valuation of compensatory warrants we issued in October 2008 to Peltz Capital Management, LLC.

Table of Contents

 

Offsetting these factors to a limited degree, our salaries/wages/officers compensation was $2.8 million lower in fiscal 2009 than in fiscal 2008; in fiscal 2008 we had $2.6 million of stock-based compensation in these categories, which explains the difference. Also, we reduced travel expenses by $1.2 million in fiscal 2009.

Our net operating loss was $12.5 million larger in fiscal 2009 than in fiscal 2008, although our (total) net loss was only $2.5 million larger in fiscal 2009 than in fiscal 2008. The difference lies in two non-operating items. In fiscal 2009 we had a negative change of $9.1 million in the value of our derivative liability relating to the warrants we issued in October 2008 to Peltz Capital Management, LLC. Our derivative liability pertains to our requirement to register the underlying shares associated with this warrant grant pursuant to ASC Topic 815-40, formerly EITF Issue No. 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock.” We value the warrant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. When our stock goes down, the value of our derivative liability goes down, decreasing net loss (although not affecting cash).

Also, our interest expense decreased by $1.0 million to only $0.5 million in fiscal 2009, from $1.5 million in fiscal 2008. The major difference in interest expense pertained to the non-cash amortization of the beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) inherent in $1.0 million of convertible debt we issued to non-affiliates in fiscal 2008; there was no BCF amortization in fiscal 2009. We also recognized a BCF relating to the convertible debt due to our President and a company affiliated with him, but we charge the amortization of that BCF to equity because the underlying debt is due to a related party.

The primary reason for the year-over-year decrease in revenues was declines in our programs with Motricity, BET, Teligence and MTV, as we migrated our business model from a top line billing amount model (e.g., we would receive a consumer’s purchase payment and then be obliged to manage outbound payments such as to carriers, music publishers, brand owners, etc.) to a pure-transaction-based model (e.g., we receive a per-message fee for our service). The effect of this business model change is to gross down both our stated revenues and our stated expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2010, we had total assets of $7.0 million and total liabilities of $17.1 million; while at June 30, 2009, we had total assets of $6.3 million (although that included $4.6 million which was the unamortized portion of the fair value of the warrants issued in October 2008 to our special advisor that was classified to prepaid expense) and total liabilities of $9.8 million. The fair value of the warrant had been completely amortized by the date of the June 30, 2010 balance sheet. Also, of our total liabilities at June 30, 2010 of $17.1 million, $15.4 million pertained to the derivative liability on the above indicated warrant.

Our cash balance increased by $4.9 million (from a low starting position of less than $0.1 million) during the 12 months ended June 30, 2010.

From September 2009 through January 2010, we raised $1.8 million by issuing approximately 5.6 million shares of common stock and 6.25 million common stock warrants (exercisable for $1.00 or $1.50 per share cash) to Mike Robert.

In January 2010 we raised approximately $0.5 million by issuing approximately 1.5 million shares of common stock and approximately 0.5 million common stock warrants (exercisable for $1.50 per share cash) to Zanett Opportunity Fund Ltd. and its affiliates. We paid a $25,000 placement agent fee in connection therewith.

From January through May 2010, we raised approximately $3.6 million by issuing approximately 9.7 million shares of common stock to 38 accredited investors. We compensated our placement agent, Gar Wood Securities, LLC, and its affiliates, with approximately 0.1 million common stock warrants and approximately $0.1 million cash in connection therewith. (We also had issued 1.0 million common stock warrants to that firm in January 2010 upon the inception of our relationship with it.) In addition, we compensated our placement agent Financial West Investment Group, Inc., and its affiliates, with approximately 55,000 common stock warrants and approximately $29,000 cash in connection therewith.

Also, in July 2010, we raised $6.2 million by issuing approximately 8.2 million shares of common stock and approximately 2.1 million common stock warrants (exercisable for $1.00 per share cash until July 2013) to 24 accredited investors. The offering was structured as the sale of approximately 2.1 million detachable units (each consisting of four shares and one warrant) at $3.00 per unit. We compensated our placement agent in the offering, Gar Wood Securities, LLC, and its affiliates, with approximately 0.2 million of the common stock warrants and approximately $0.2 million cash.

We also resolved a significant amount of outstanding debt in and shortly before fiscal 2010.

In September 2009, an individual investor converted a $0.5 million convertible note, which we had issued to him in August 2009, into common shares at a rate of $0.95 per share.

In March 2010 we issued a $0.5 million convertible note and 1.0 million common stock warrants to Mike Robert in exchange for a $0.5 million, but in August 2010 he converted the note into common shares at a rate of $0.37 per share.

In March and May 2010, we repaid the final $0.8 million (plus accrued interest) of our 2008 secured loan from Fort Ashford Funds, LLC. (In addition, we issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock to Fort Ashford Funds, LLC in September 2010 in connection with a settlement agreement.)

In June 2010, approximately $3.0 million of obligations owed to Anthony Macaluso, his affiliate, Activate, Inc., director James Cassina and others were converted into common shares. Also in June 2010, we modified approximately $0.8 million of indebtedness to Anthony Macaluso and his affiliate Activate, Inc. by extending its due date to June 27, 2011 at a reduced interest rate of 1% per annum, and with a conversion price of $0.37 per share.

Our only outstanding indebtedness now is the approximately $0.8 million of indebtedness to Anthony Macaluso and his affiliate Activate, Inc., with a due date of June 27, 2011, an interest rate of 1% per annum, and a conversion price of $0.37 per share.

The future of our liquidity/capital resources position will hinge on how soon, if ever, our operations become profitable.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We have identified the following accounting policies that we believe are key to an understanding of ours financial statements. These are important accounting policies that require management’s most difficult, subjective judgments.

Revenue Recognition

Under the terms of various service and licensing agreements, we receive a fee, net of revenue sharing and other costs, each time its application is utilized by the end user. Revenue is recognized in the month the application is utilized. We record our revenue pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605-45, formerly EITF Issue No. 99-19, “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent.”

Non-monetary Consideration Issued for Services

We value all services rendered in exchange for our common stock at the quoted price of the shares issued at date of issuance or at the fair value of the services rendered, whichever is more readily determinable. All other services provided in exchange for other non-monetary consideration are valued at either the fair value of the services received or the fair value of the consideration relinquished, whichever is more readily determinable.

Our accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of ACS Topic 505-50, formerly EITF Issue No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services”, and formerly EITF 00-18, “Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions Involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees.” The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor’s performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement. In accordance with ACS Topic 505, an asset acquired in exchange for the issuance of fully vested, nonforfeitable equity instruments should not be presented or classified as an offset to equity on the grantor’s balance sheet once the equity instrument is granted for accounting purposes. Accordingly, we record the fair value of nonforfeitable common stock issued for future consulting services as prepaid services in our consolidated balance sheet.

Conventional Convertible Debt

When the convertible feature of the conventional convertible debt provides for a rate of conversion that is below market value, this feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). We record a BCF as a debt discount pursuant to ACS Topic 470-20, formerly EITF Issue No. 98-5, “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingency Adjustable Conversion Ratio,” and formerly EITF Issue No. 00-27, “Application of EITF Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instrument(s).” In those circumstances, the convertible debt will be recorded net of the discount related to the BCF. We amortize the discount to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.

Software Development Costs

We account for our software development costs in accordance with ACS Topic 985-20, formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, “Accounting for the Cost of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed.” Under ACS Topic 985-20, we expense software development costs as incurred until we determine that the software is technologically feasible. Once we determine that the software is technologically feasible, we amortize the costs capitalized over the expected useful life of the software, which is generally two years.

Fair Value Measurement

We adopted ACS Topic 820-10, formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, at the beginning of fiscal year 2009 to measure the fair value of certain of our financial assets and liabilities required to be measured on a recurring basis. The adoption of Topic 820-10 did not impact our consolidated financial position or results of operations. Topic 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Topic 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under Topic 820-10 are described below:

Level 1. Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that an entity has the ability to access. We have no Level 1 assets or liabilities.

Table of Contents

 

Level 2. Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

We have no Level 2 assets. Our Level 2 liabilities consist of notes payable, convertible debentures and a derivative warrant liability. We determine the fair value of notes payable and convertible debentures based on the effective yields of similar obligations. We determine the fair value of our derivative warrant liability based upon the trading prices of our common stock on the date of issuance and when applicable, on the last day of the quarter. We use the Black-Scholes Option Model in valuing the fair value of our derivative warrant liability.

Level 3. Valuations based on inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. We have no Level 3 assets or liabilities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-22 (ASU 2010-22), “Accounting for Various Topics.” This update amends various SEC paragraphs in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification based on external comments received and the issuance of Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 112 which amends or rescinds portion of certain SAB topics. SAB 112 was issued to bring existing SEC guidance into conformity with ASC 805 “ Business Combination ” and ASC 810 “ Consolidation ”. The adoption of this update did not have any material impact on our financial statements.

In August 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-21 (ASU 2010-21), “ Accounting for Technical Amendments to Various SEC Rules and Schedules: Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Release No. 33-9026: Technical Amendments to Rules, Forms, Schedules and Codification of Financial Reporting Policies .” The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-21 to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In July 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-20 (ASU 2010-20), “ Receivables (Topic 310): Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses .” The amendments in this Update are to provide financial statement users with greater transparency about an entity’s allowance for credit losses and the credit quality of its financing receivables. The disclosures about activity that occurs during the reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-20 to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-19 (ASU 2010-19), “ Foreign Currency (Topic 830): Multiple Foreign Currency Exchange Rates .” The amendments in this Update are effective for reported balances in an entity’s financial statements that differ from their underlying U.S. dollar denominated values under Subtopic 830-30-S99-1 occurring in the first interim or annual period ending on or after March 15, 2010. The amendments are to be applied retrospectively. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-19 to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-17, “ Revenue Recognition – Milestone Method (Topic 605) .” ASU 2010-17 provides guidance on applying the milestone method of revenue recognition in arrangements with research and development activities. We do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our revenue recognition when adopted for our 2011 fiscal year.

In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-13, “ Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades .” ASU 2010-13 provides amendments to Topic 718 to clarify that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity’s equity securities trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. The amendments in ASU 2010-13 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The adoption of ASU 2010-13 will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In March 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-11, “ Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives .” The amendments in this Update are effective for each reporting entity at the beginning of its first fiscal quarter beginning after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted at the beginning of each entity’s first fiscal quarter beginning after issuance of this Update. We do not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-11 to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-10 (ASU 2010-10), “ Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments for Certain Investment Funds .” The amendments in this Update are effective as of the beginning of a reporting entity’s first annual period that begins after November 15, 2009 and for interim periods within that first reporting period. Early application is not permitted. Our adoption of provisions of ASU 2010-10 did not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-09 “ Subsequent Events (ASC Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements .” ASU 2010-09 requires an entity that is an SEC filer to evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued and removes the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose a date, in both issued and revised financial statements, through which the filer had evaluated subsequent events. The adoption did not have an impact on our financial position and results of operations.

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-06, “ Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements .” ASU 2010-06 amends FASB Accounting Standards Codification 820 and clarifies and provides additional disclosure requirements related to recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements and employers’ disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets. This ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The adoption of ASU 2010-06 did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In April 2008 our Board of Directors and stockholders adopted the 2008 Stock Option Plan (the “2008 Plan”) to provide participating employees, non-employee directors, consultants and advisors with an additional incentive to promote our success. The maximum number of shares of common stock which may be issued pursuant to options and awards granted under the 2008 Plan is 8,800,000.

The 2008 Plan is currently administered by our Board of Directors but may be subsequently administered by a compensation committee designated by our Board of Directors.

The 2008 Plan authorizes the grant to 2008 Plan participants of non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted stock awards, and stock appreciation rights. No option shall be exercisable more than 10 years after the date of grant. Upon separation from service, no further vesting of options can occur, and vested options will expire unless exercised within a year after separation. No option granted under the 2008 Plan is transferable by the individual or entity to whom it was granted otherwise than by will or laws of decent and distribution, and, during the lifetime of such individual, is not exercisable by any other person, but only by him.

In December 2009 our Board of Directors adopted the 2009 Employee and Consultant Stock Plan (“2009 Plan”) to provide common stock grants to selected employees, non-employee directors, consultants and advisors. The total number of shares subject to the 2009 Plan is 2,000,000.

The 2009 Plan is administered by our Board of Directors.

The 11,000,000 shares shown as underlying under “Equity compensation plans not approved by security holders” consist of shares underlying a warrant which we granted to Peltz Capital Management, LLC in October 2008 as compensation for consulting services; the warrant’s number of underlying shares and exercise price have subsequently been amended pursuant to the warrant’s terms.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

This prospectus covers offers and sales of up to 8,000,000 shares of our common stock which may be offered from time to time by the selling stockholders identified in this prospectus.

The table below identifies the selling stockholders and shows the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each of the selling stockholders before and after this offering, and the numbers of shares offered for resale by each of the selling stockholders. Our registration of these shares does not necessarily mean that any selling stockholder will sell all or any of their shares of common stock. However, the “Shares Beneficially Owned After Offering” columns in the table assume that all shares covered by this prospectus will be sold by the selling stockholders and that no additional shares of common stock will be bought or sold by any selling stockholders. No estimate can be given as to the number of shares that will be held by the selling stockholders after completion of this offering because the selling stockholders may offer some or all of the shares and, to our knowledge, there are currently no agreements, arrangements or understanding with respect to the sale of any of the shares.

Pursuant to an agreement with Anthony Macaluso, the selling stockholders hold the 8,000,000 shares to provide a source for payment of a judgment in a private lawsuit (and certain related amounts). Once the judgment and such related amounts have been satisfied by net proceeds of sales of the shares (or otherwise), any further net proceeds will be paid over to Mr. Macaluso, and/or any remaining shares will be transferred back to Mr. Macaluso.

The following table sets forth the name of each selling stockholder, and, if applicable, the nature of any position, office, or other material relationship which the selling stockholder has had, within the past three years, with us or with any of our predecessors or affiliates, the amount of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by such stockholder before the offering, the amount being offered for the stockholder’s account, the amount being offered for the stockholder’s account and the amount to be owned by such stockholder after completion of the offering.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. The number and percentage of shares beneficially owned is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act and is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Applicable percentage ownership is based on 123,176,892 shares of common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2010. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, shares of common stock subject to options, warrants and convertible promissory notes exercisable or convertible within 60 days after September 30, 2010 are deemed to be outstanding. Except as otherwise noted, we believe that each of the stockholders named in the table has sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock shown as beneficially owned by them, subject to applicable community property laws. The information with respect to beneficial ownership is based upon record ownership data provided by our transfer agent, information as supplied or confirmed by selling stockholders or based upon our actual knowledge.

Anti-takeover Effects of Provisions of Delaware Law and our Charter and Bylaws

Certain provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws may make it more difficult to acquire control of us by various means. These provisions could deprive our stockholders of opportunities to realize a premium on the shares of common stock owned by them. In addition, these provisions may adversely affect the prevailing market price of our stock. These provisions are intended to:

 

   

enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of the board and in the policies formulated by the board;

 

31


Table of Contents

 

   

discourage certain types of transactions which may involve an actual or threatened change in control of Single Touch Systems;

 

   

discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy fights;

 

   

encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to consult first with the board of directors to negotiate the terms of any proposed business combination or offer; and

 

   

reduce our vulnerability to an unsolicited proposal for a takeover that does not contemplate the acquisition of all our outstanding shares or that is otherwise unfair to our stockholders.

Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by the board of directors or an officer authorized by it to do so. This limitation on the right of stockholders to call a special meeting could make it more difficult for stockholders to initiate actions that are opposed by the board of directors. These actions could include the removal of an incumbent director or the election of a stockholder nominee as a director. They could also include the implementation of a rule requiring stockholder ratification of specific defensive strategies that have been adopted by the board of directors with respect to unsolicited takeover bids. In addition, the limited ability of the stockholders to call a special meeting of stockholders may make it more difficult to change the existing board and management.

Our authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock are available for future issuance without stockholder approval. These additional shares may be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, corporate acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

The Delaware General Corporation Law, or DGCL, provides generally that the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares outstanding and entitled to vote is required to amend a corporation’s certificate of incorporation. Our bylaws may be amended generally by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote thereon or by the act of a majority of our directors.

We believe that we currently would not satisfy the elements of Section 203 of the DGCL (Section 203), and accordingly that currently the provisions of Section 203 would not apply to any proposed business combination in which we would be acquired. Under Section 203, certain business combinations between a Delaware corporation whose stock generally is publicly traded or held of record by more than 2,000 stockholders and an interested stockholder are prohibited for a three-year period following the date that such stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless (i) the corporation has elected in its original certificate of incorporation not to be governed by Section 203 (we did not make such an election), (ii) the business combination was approved by the Board of Directors of the corporation before the other party to the business combination became an interested stockholder, (iii) upon consummation of the transaction that made it an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the commencement of the transaction (excluding voting stock owned by directors who are also officers or held in employee benefit plans in which the employees do not have a confidential right to render or vote stock held by the plan), or (iv) the business combination was approved by the Board of Directors of the corporation and ratified by two-thirds of the voting stock which the interested stockholder did not own. The three-year prohibition also does not apply to certain business combinations proposed by an interested stockholder following the announcement or notification of certain extraordinary transactions involving the corporation and a person who had not been an interested stockholder during the previous three years or who became an interested stockholder with the approval of the majority of the corporation’s directors. The term business combination is defined generally to include mergers or consolidations between a Delaware corporation and an interested stockholder, transactions with an interested stockholder involving the assets or stock of the corporation or its majority-owned subsidiaries and transactions which increase an interested stockholder’s percentage ownership of stock. The term interested stockholder is defined generally as a stockholder who, together with affiliates and associates, owns (or, within three years prior, did own) 15% or more of a Delaware corporation’s voting stock. If it should become applicable to us in the future, Section 203 could prohibit or delay a merger, takeover or other change in control of our company and therefore could discourage attempts to acquire us.

Applicability of California Corporate Law

Although we are incorporated in Delaware, we may nonetheless be subject to Section 2115 of the California General Corporation Law, which imposes various requirements of California corporate law on non-California corporations if they have specified characteristics of ownership and operations indicating significant contacts with California. Public companies listed on a recognized national securities exchange or the Nasdaq National Market are generally exempt from Section 2115. Since our common stock is traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, we are potentially subject to the provisions of Section 2115. The key provision of California corporate law that may apply to us is the right of our stockholders to cumulate votes in the election of directors.

In May 2005, the Delaware Supreme Court in VantagePoint Venture Partners 1996 v. Examen, Inc. held that Section 2115 violates the internal affairs doctrine and thus does not apply to Delaware corporations. If followed by California courts, this ruling would mean that the cumulative voting requirements and other sections of the California Corporations Code do not apply to us. The impact of the Delaware Supreme Court’s decision on our situation, as it may be interpreted by California courts, is uncertain.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

The DGCL permits a corporation to indemnify its current and former directors and officers against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in connection with a legal proceeding. To be indemnified, the person must have acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in, and not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation. With respect to any criminal action or proceeding, the person must not have had reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful.

The DGCL permits a present or former director or officer of a corporation to be indemnified against certain expenses if the person has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of any proceeding brought against such person by virtue of the fact that such person is or was an officer or director of the corporation. In addition, the DGCL permits the advancement of expenses relating to the defense of any proceeding to directors and officers contingent upon the person’s commitment to repay advances for expenses against such person is not ultimately entitled to be indemnified.

The DGCL provides that the indemnification provisions contained in the DGCL are not exclusive of any other right that a person seeking indemnification may have or later acquire under any provision of a corporation’s by-laws, by any agreement, by any vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. Furthermore, the DGCL provides that a corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect its directors and officers against any expense, liability or loss, regardless of whether the corporation has the power to indemnify such persons under the DGCL.

Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that, to the extent permitted by the DGCL, we will indemnify our current and former directors and officers against all expenses actually and reasonably incurred by them as a result of their being threatened with or otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding by virtue of the fact that they are or were one of our officers or directors. However, we will not be required to indemnify an officer or director for an action, suit or proceeding commenced by that officer or director unless we authorized that director or officer to commence the action, suit or proceeding. Our Certificate of Incorporation also provides that we shall advance expenses incurred by any person we are obligated to indemnify, upon presentation of appropriate documentation.

Furthermore, our Bylaws provide that we may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of our directors and officers against any liability, expense or loss, whether or not we would otherwise have the power to indemnify such person under our Certificate of Incorporation or the DGCL.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors and officers, we have been advised that, although the validity and scope of the governing statute have not been tested in court, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In addition, indemnification may be limited by state securities laws.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The selling stockholders and any of their pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions, at fixed or negotiated prices, all subject to certain price, transaction size, daily sales volume, buyer qualification and “commercial reasonableness” limitations set forth in an agreement between the selling stockholders and Anthony Macaluso. The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

 

   

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits investors;

 

   

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

   

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker dealer for its account;

 

   

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

 

   

privately negotiated transactions;

 

   

to cover short sales make after the date this Registration Statement is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission;

 

   

broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholder to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

 

   

a combination of any such methods of sale; and

 

   

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The selling stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.

The selling stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.

Upon being notified in writing by a selling stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of common stock through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, we will, if then required, file a supplement to this prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, disclosing (i) the name of each such selling stockholder and of the participating broker-dealer(s), (ii) the number of shares involved, (iii) the price at which such the shares of common stock were sold, (iv) the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s),

 

34


Table of Contents

where applicable, (v) that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and (vi) other facts material to the transaction. In addition, upon the being notified in writing by a selling stockholder that a donee or pledgee intends to sell more than 500 shares of common stock, we will, if then required, file a supplement to this prospectus in accordance with applicable securities law.

The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, that can be attributed to the sale of securities will be paid by the selling stockholder and/or the purchasers. Each selling stockholder has represented and warranted to us that it acquired the securities subject to this registration statement in the ordinary course of such selling stockholder’s business and, at the time of its purchase of such securities such selling stockholder had no agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute any such securities.

We have advised each selling stockholder that it may not use shares registered on this registration statement to cover short sales of common stock made before the date on which this registration statement shall have been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. If a selling stockholder uses this prospectus for any sale of the common stock, it will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The selling stockholders will be responsible to comply with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder promulgated, including, without limitation, Regulation M, as applicable to such selling stockholders in connection with resales of their respective shares under this registration statement.

We will pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares, but we will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common stock.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Single Touch Systems Inc. and Subsidiaries

Encinitas, California

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Single Touch Systems Inc. and Subsidiaries (“the Company”) as of September 30, 2009 and 2008 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’(deficit) and cash flows for the two years ended September 30, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Single Touch Systems, Inc .and Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2009 and 2008, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the two years ended September 30, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses and had negative cash flows from operations that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in the Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2009 and 2008

Note 1. Organization, History and Business

Single Touch Systems Inc. (“the Company’) was incorporated in Delaware on May 31, 2000, under its original name, Hosting Site Network, Inc. On May 12, 2008, the Company changed its name to Single Touch Systems Inc.

On July 24, 2008, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Single Touch Interactive, Inc. (“Interactive”), a company incorporated in the state of Nevada on April 2, 2002, in exchange for issuing 42,967,554 shares of its common stock. For financial reporting purposes, the acquisition was treated as a reverse acquisition whereby Interactive’s operations continue to be reported as if it had actually been the acquirer. Assets and liabilities continue to be reported at Interactive’s historical cost, as the Company had nominal assets, liabilities and operations before the reverse acquisition.

The Company develops software applications utilized by end users in downloading images, ringtones, games, and other content into their cell phones and other wireless communication devices.

On May 27, 2008, Interactive declared a 1-for-2 reverse split of its common stock. All references in the accompanying financial statements to the number of shares outstanding and per-share amounts have been restated to reflect this stock split.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has accumulated operating losses since its inception (May 31, 2000). In addition, the Company has used ongoing working capital in its operations. At September 30, 2009, its accumulated deficit amounted to $101,204,350.In view of current matters, the continuation of the Company’s operations is dependent on revenue from its licensing of its technologies and related services, advances made by its officers, and the raising capital through the sale of its equity instruments or issuance of debt. Management believes that these sources of funds will allow the Company to continue as a going concern through 2010. However, no assurances can be made that current or anticipated future sources of funds will enable the Company to finance future periods’ operations. In light of these circumstances, substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Reclassification

Certain reclassifications have been made to conform the 2008 amounts to 2009 classifications for comparative purposes.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Single Touch Systems Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Single Touch Interactive, Inc, and HSN, Inc. an inactive company formed in New Jersey on August 21, 2001. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

September 30, 2009 and 2008

 

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements , as revised by SAB No. 104. As such, the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title transfer has occurred, the price is fixed or readily determinable and collectibility is probable. Sales are recorded net of sales discounts.

Revenue is derived from licensing of the Company’s wireless applications to various telecommunication companies. Under the terms of the various licensing agreements, the Company receives a fee, net of revenue sharing and other costs, each time its application is utilized by the end user. Revenue is recognized in the month the application is utilized. The Company records its revenue pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605—45-45 “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent .” Advanced licensing fees received with minimum guarantees where it cannot determine the fee earned are recognized in income on the straight line basis over the term of the license in accordance with ASC Topic 928-605-25, “Financial Reporting in the Record and Music Industry.”

In addition, the Company also generates income through the development of software for third parties on a contractual basis. Revenue is recognized upon delivery of the software.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable is reported at the customers’ outstanding balances less any allowance for doubtful accounts. Interest is not accrued on overdue accounts receivable.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

An allowance for doubtful accounts on accounts receivable is charged to operations in amounts sufficient to maintain the allowance for uncollectible accounts at a level management believes is adequate to cover any probable losses. Management determines the adequacy of the allowance based on historical write-off percentages and information collected from individual customers. Accounts receivable are charged off against the allowance when collectibility is determined to be permanently impaired.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Major renewals and improvements are charged to the asset accounts while replacements, maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are expensed. At the time property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the asset and related accumulated depreciation accounts are relieved of the applicable amounts. Gains or losses from retirements or sales are credited or charged to income.

Depreciation is computed on the straight-line and accelerated methods for financial reporting and income tax reporting purposes based upon the following estimated useful lives:

 

Software development

     2 -3 years   

Equipment

     5 years   

Computer hardware

     5 years   

Office furniture

     7 years   

Long-Lived Assets

The Company accounts for its long-lived assets in accordance with ASC Topic 360-10-05, “ Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets .” ASC Topic 360-10-05 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses recoverability of the carrying value of an asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the

difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value or disposable value. At September 30, 2009, the Company recorded an impairment loss for certain software development costs totaling $301,465 and an impairment loss on acquired patents totaling $5,366,433 (See Note 6).

Prepaid Royalties

The Company’s agreements with licensors and developers generally provide it with exclusive publishing rights and require it to make advance royalty payments that are recouped against royalties due to the licensor or developer based on product sales. Prepaid royalties are amortized on a software application-by-application basis, based on the greater of the proportion of current year sales to total current and estimated future sales or the contractual royalty rate based on actual net product sales. The Company continually evaluates the recoverability of prepaid royalties, and charges to operations the amount that management determines is probable that will not be recouped at the contractual royalty rate in the period in which such determination is made or at the time the Company determines that it will cancel a development project. Prepaid royalties are classified as current and non-current assets based upon estimated net product sales within the next year.

Capitalized Software Development Costs

The Company capitalizes internal software development costs subsequent to establishing technological feasibility of a software application. Capitalized software development costs represent the costs associated with the internal development of the Company’s software applications. Amortization of such costs is recorded on a software application-by-application basis, based on the greater of the proportion of current year sales to total of current and estimated future sales for the applications or the straight-line method over the remaining estimated useful life of the software application. The Company continually evaluates the recoverability of capitalized software costs and will charge to operations amounts that are deemed unrecoverable for projects it will abandon.

Issuances Involving Non-cash Consideration

All issuances of the Company’s stock for non-cash consideration have been assigned a dollar amount equaling the market value of the shares issued on the date the shares were issued for such services. The non-cash consideration received pertains to consulting services.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under SFAS No. 123R, “Share- based Payment” and SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure - An amendment to SFAS No. 123.” (ASC Topic 505-50) These standards define a fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation. In accordance with SFAS Nos. 123R and 148, the cost of stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the vesting period. The value of the stock-based award is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, whereby compensation cost is the excess of the fair value of the award as determined by the pricing model at the grant date or other measurement date over the amount that must be paid to acquire the stock. The resulting amount is charged to expense on the straight-line basis over the period in which the Company expects to receive the benefit, which is generally the vesting period. During the year ended September 30, 2009, the Company recognized stock based compensation expense of $12,678,878 from the granting of a common stock warrant to an advisor (See Note 14) and $82,896 from the vesting of options granted to certain employees, directors and consultants in 2008. Of the $12,761,774 in stock-based compensation, a total of $12,694,578 was attributed to consulting expense, $12,560 was included in officers’ compensation and $54,636 was included in salaries and wages. During the year ended September 30, 2008, the Company issued 1,500,000 shares of its common stock to its President in exchange for canceling the $1,050,000 of accrued compensation. Also in 2008, the Company issued 1,500,000 shares of its common stock to its President for $525,000 in accrued compensation for services rendered during 2008 and $1,575,000 for services rendered during 2007, $1,400,000 in stock based compensation from the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of its common stock to employees and consultants and recognized $376,800 in stock based compensation in the granting of options to purchase 8,675,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260-10, “Earnings per Share.” Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares available. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Diluted earnings (loss) per share has not been presented since the effect of the assumed conversion of warrants and debt to purchase common shares would have an anti-dilutive effect. Potential common shares as of September 30, 2009 that have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share include 29,119,334 warrants, 8,675,000 options, and $2,415,660 of debt convertible into 30,195,747 shares of the Company’s common stock. Potential common shares as of September 30, 2008 were 16,376,000 warrants,8,675,000 options and $2,319,512 of debt convertible into 28,993,900 shares of the Company’s common stock that have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share. If such shares were included in diluted EPS, they would have resulted in weighted-average common shares of 127,466,447 and 63,114,094 for the year ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purpose of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers cash and cash equivalents to include all stable, highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company primarily transacts its business with one financial institution. The amount on deposit in that one institution may from time-to-time exceed the federally insured limit.

During the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, significantly all of the Company’s revenue was generated from contracts with ten customers.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affects the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Convertible Debentures

If the conversion feature of conventional convertible debt provides for a rate of conversion that is below market value, this feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). A BCF is recorded by the Company as a debt discount pursuant to ASC Topic 470-20 “Debt with conversion and other Options” In those circumstances, the convertible debt will be recorded net of the discount related to the BCF and the Company will amortize the discount to interest expense or equity (if the debt is due to a related party), over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for its income taxes under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 109 (ASC Topic 740-10). The method of accounting for income taxes under SFAS 109 is an asset and liability method. The asset and liability method requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between tax bases and financial reporting bases of other assets and liabilities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2009, the FASB adopted Codification Topic 855,” Subsequent Event’s, which requires entities to disclose the date through which they have evaluated subsequent events and whether the date corresponds with the release of its financial statements. The statement established general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. ASC 855 is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be applied prospectively. The adoption ASC 855 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB adopted Codification Topic Statement No. 105 “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” ASC 105 is the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), superseding existing FASB, American Institute of Certified Public Accounts (“AICPA”), Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”), and related accounting literature. ASC 105 reorganized the thousands of GAAP pronouncements into roughly 90 accounting topics and displays them using a consistent structure. Also included is relevant Securities and Exchange Commission guidance organized using the same topical structure in separate sections. ASC 105 will be effective for financial statements issued for reporting periods that end after September 15, 2009. The Company adopted the Codification during the current period ending September 30, 2009. There was no impact upon adoption.

In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (Codification Topic 820). Based on the guidance, if an entity determines that the level of activity for an asset or liability has significantly decreased and that a transaction is not orderly, further analysis of transactions or quoted prices is needed, and a significant adjustment to the transaction or quoted prices may be necessary to estimate fair value in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157 Fair Value Measurements. This FSP is to be applied prospectively and is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The company adopted this FSP for its quarter ending June 30, 2009. There was no impact upon adoption.

FSP FAS 115-2 (ACS Topic 320) and FAS 124-2 - In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (Codification Topic 320). The guidance applies to investments in debt securities for which other-than-temporary impairments may be recorded. If an entity’s management asserts that it does not have the intent to sell a debt security and it is more likely than not that it will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis, then an entity may separate other-than-temporary impairments into two components: 1) the amount related to credit losses (recorded in earnings), and 2) all other amounts (recorded in other comprehensive income). This FSP is to be applied prospectively and is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The company adopted this FSP for its quarter ending June 30, 2009. There was no impact upon adoption.

FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 - In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board (APB) 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments ((ACS Topic 825). The FSP amends SFAS No. 107 Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments to require an entity to provide disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim financial information. This FSP is to be applied prospectively and is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The company included the required disclosures in its quarter ending June 30, 2009.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement Issued But Not in Effect

In June 2009, the FASB adopted SFAS 166,” Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets (“ACS Topic 860”) Statement 166 is a revision to FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, and will require more information about transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and where entities have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. It eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity,” changes the requirements for

derecognizing financial assets, and requires additional disclosures. SFAS 166 enhances information reported to users of financial statements by providing greater transparency about transfers of financial assets and an entity’s continuing involvement in transferred financial assets.

SFAS 166 will be effective at the start of a reporting entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2009. Early application is not permitted. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of SFAS 166 will have an impact on its consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (“ACS Topic 810). Statement 167 is a revision to FASB Interpretation No. 46 (Revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, and changes how a reporting entity determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. The determination of whether a reporting entity is required to consolidate another entity is based on, among other things, the other entity’s purpose and design and the reporting entity’s ability to direct the activities of the other entity that most significantly impact the other entity’s economic performance. SFAS 167 will require a reporting entity to provide additional disclosures about its involvement with variable interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement. A reporting entity will be required to disclose how its involvement with a variable interest entity affects the reporting entity’s financial statements. SFAS 167 will be effective at the start of a reporting entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2009. Early application is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of adoption of SFAS 167 on its financial statements.

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“ASC Topic 820-10”), at the beginning of fiscal year 2009 to measure the fair value of certain of its financial assets required to be measured on a recurring basis. The adoption of ASC Topic 820-10 did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. ASC Topic 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that

 

F-19


Table of Contents

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

September 30, 2009 and 2008

 

prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). ASC Topic 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability.

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820-10 are described below:

Level 1 . Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that an entity has the ability to access.

The Company’s Level 1 assets include cash.

Level 2 . Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

The Company’s Level 2 assets consist of a accounts receivable, notes and convertible notes payable, and derivative liability. Due to the short term nature of its accounts receivable, notes and convertible notes payable, the Company estimates he fair value of these assets and liabilities at their current basis. The Company determines the fair value of its derivative liability based upon the trading prices of its common stock on the date of issuance and when applicable, on the last day of the quarter. The Company uses the Black-Sholes Option Model in valuing the fair value of level 2 assets.

Level 3 . Valuations based on inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company has no level 3 assets or liabilities.

The table below presents reconciliation for all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

As the $2,000,000 advance is not refundable, the Company is amortizing it into revenue evenly over the remaining 29 months of the license agreement pursuant to SFAS No. 50 (ASC Topic 928-10). Therefore on a monthly basis, the Company is reporting revenue relating to this license agreement the greater of the transaction fee earned or $68,966 ($2,000,000/29 months). In addition, during the first four months of the contract, the Company received the revenue generated under the service agreement as a contingency against future costs associated with the first four months of the agreement. The amount received during the four months totaled $488,952. The Company is also amortizing it into revenue on the straight-line basis pursuant to SFAS No. 50.

1. Organization, History and Business

Single Touch Systems Inc. (“the Company’) was incorporated in Delaware on May 31, 2000, under its original name, Hosting Site Network, Inc. On May 12, 2008, the Company changed its name to Single Touch Systems Inc.

On July 24, 2008, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Single Touch Interactive, Inc. (“Interactive”), a company incorporated in the state of Nevada on April 2, 2002, in exchange for issuing 42,967,554 shares of its common stock. For financial reporting purposes, the acquisition was treated as a reverse acquisition whereby Interactive’s operations continue to be reported as if it had actually been the acquirer. Assets and liabilities continue to be reported at Interactive’s historical cost, as the Company had nominal assets, liabilities and operations before the reverse acquisition.

The Company initially developed software applications utilized by end users in downloading images, ringtones, games, and other content into their cell phones and other wireless communication devices. The Company has transitioned to a transaction based revenue model facilitating mobile commerce and advertising using software based services. The Company generates revenue from each voice call, data transmission, advertisement and mobile payment transaction its services enable.

On May 27, 2008, Interactive declared a 1-for-2 reverse split of its common stock. All references in the accompanying financial statements to the number of shares outstanding and per-share amounts have been restated to reflect this stock split.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements , as revised by SAB No. 104. As such, the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title transfer has occurred, the price is fixed or readily determinable and collectibility is probable. Sales are recorded net of sales discounts.

Revenue is derived from licensing of the Company’s wireless applications to various telecommunication companies. Under the terms of the various licensing agreements, the Company receives a fee, net of revenue sharing and other costs, each time its application is utilized by the end user. Revenue is recognized in the month the application is utilized. The Company records its revenue pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605-45-45 “ Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent .”

Advanced licensing fees received with minimum guarantees where it cannot determine the fee earned are recognized in income on the straight line basis over the term of the license in accordance with ASC Topic 928-605-25, “Financial Reporting in the Record and Music Industry.”

In addition, the Company also generates income through the development of software for third parties on a contractual basis. Revenue is recognized upon delivery of the software.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable is reported at the customers’ outstanding balances less any allowance for doubtful accounts. Interest is not accrued on overdue accounts receivable.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

An allowance for doubtful accounts on accounts receivable is charged to operations in amounts sufficient to maintain the allowance for uncollectible accounts at a level management believes is adequate to cover any probable losses. Management determines the adequacy of the allowance based on historical write-off percentages and information collected from individual customers. Accounts receivable are charged off against the allowance when collectibility is determined to be permanently impaired. As of June 30, 2010, the Company established an allowance for doubtful accounts totaling $54,084.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Major renewals and improvements are charged to the asset accounts while replacements, maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are expensed. At the time property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the asset and related accumulated depreciation accounts are relieved of the applicable amounts. Gains or losses from retirements or sales are credited or charged to income.

Depreciation is computed on the straight-line and accelerated methods for financial reporting and income tax reporting purposes based upon the following estimated useful lives:

 

Software development

     2 - 3 years  

Equipment

     5 years  

Computer hardware

     5 years  

Office furniture

     7 years  

Long-Lived Assets

The Company accounts for its long-lived assets in accordance with ASC Topic 360-10-05, “ Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets .” ASC Topic 360-10-05 requires that long-lived assets be

 

F-32

(UNAUDITED)

 

reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses recoverability of the carrying value of an asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value or disposable value. At June 30, 2010, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $53,999 pertaining to certain abandoned software development costs.

Prepaid Royalties

The Company’s agreements with licensors and developers generally provide it with exclusive publishing rights and require it to make advance royalty payments that are recouped against royalties due to the licensor or developer based on product sales. Prepaid royalties are amortized on a software application-by-application basis, based on the greater of the proportion of current year sales to total current and estimated future sales or the contractual royalty rate based on actual net product sales. The Company continually evaluates the recoverability of prepaid royalties, and charges to operations the amount that management determines is probable that will not be recouped at the contractual royalty rate in the period in which such determination is made or at the time the Company determines that it will cancel a development project. Prepaid royalties are classified as current and non-current assets based upon estimated net product sales within the next year.

Capitalized Software Development Costs

The Company capitalizes internal software development costs subsequent to establishing technological feasibility of a software application. Capitalized software development costs represent the costs associated with the internal development of the Company’s software applications. Amortization of such costs is recorded on a software application-by-application basis, based on the greater of the proportion of current year sales to total of current and estimated future sales for the applications or the straight-line method over the remaining estimated useful life of the software application. The Company continually evaluates the recoverability of capitalized software costs and will charge to operations amounts that are deemed unrecoverable for projects it abandons.

Issuances Involving Non-cash Consideration

All issuances of the Company’s stock for non-cash consideration have been assigned a dollar amount equaling the market value of the shares issued on the date the shares were issued for such services. The non-cash consideration received pertains to consulting services.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under ACS Topic 505-50, formerly SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” and SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure - An amendment to SFAS No. 123.” These standards define a fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation. In accordance with SFAS Nos. 123R and 148, the cost of stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the vesting period. The value of the stock-based award is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, whereby compensation cost is the excess of the fair value of the award as determined by the pricing model at the grant date or other measurement date over the amount that must be paid to acquire the stock. The resulting amount is charged to expense on the straight-line basis over the period in which the Company expects to receive the benefit, which is generally the vesting period. During the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company recognized stock based compensation expense of $0 and $3,457,846 from the granting of a common stock warrant to an advisor. During the nine months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company recognized stock based compensation expense of $1,152,625 and $9,221,002 from the granting of a common stock warrant to an advisor.

Loss Per Share

The Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260-10, “Earnings per Share.” Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares available. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to

 

F-33


Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(UNAUDITED)

 

basic earnings (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Diluted earnings (loss) per share has not been presented since the effect of the assumed conversion of warrants and debt to purchase common shares would have an anti-dilutive effect. Potential common shares as of June 30, 2010 that have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share include 38,219,293 warrants, 8,675,000 options, and $1,289,182 of debt convertible into 3,484,276 shares of the Company’s common stock. Potential common shares as of June 30, 2009 that have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share were 33,113,934 warrants and $2,392,957 of debt convertible into 29,911,963 shares of the Company’s common stock. If such shares were included in diluted EPS, they would have resulted in weighted-average common shares of 125,408,456 and 122,412,447 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and weighted average common shares of 81,476,116 and 121,225,305 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purpose of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers cash and cash equivalents to include all stable, highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company primarily transacts its business with one financial institution. The amount on deposit in that one institution may from time-to-time exceed the federally insured limit.

During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2010, significantly all of the Company’s revenue was generated from contracts with eight customers. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009, significantly all of the Company’s revenue was generated from contracts with ten customers.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affects the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Convertible Debentures

If the conversion feature of conventional convertible debt provides for a rate of conversion that is below market value, this feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). A BCF is recorded by the Company as a debt discount pursuant to ASC Topic 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options.” In those circumstances, the convertible debt is recorded net of the discount related to the BCF and the Company amortizes the discount to interest expense or equity (if the debt is due to a related party), over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for its income taxes under the provisions of ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes” (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 109). The method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740 is an asset and liability method. The asset and liability method requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between tax bases and financial reporting bases of other assets and liabilities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-17, Revenue Recognition – Milestone Method (Topic 605). ASU 2010-17 provides guidance on applying the milestone method of revenue recognition in arrangements with research and development activities. The Company does not expect this ASU to have a material impact on its revenue recognition when adopted for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2011.

In March 2010, the FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-11 (ASU 2010-11), “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives.” The amendments in this Update are effective for each reporting entity at the beginning of its first fiscal quarter beginning after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted at the beginning of each entity’s first fiscal quarter beginning after issuance of this Update. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-11 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

In February 2010, the FASB Accounting Standards Update 2010-10 (ASU 2010-10), “Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments for Certain Investment Funds.” The amendments in this Update are effective as of the beginning of a reporting entity’s first annual period that begins after November 15, 2009 and for interim periods within that first reporting period. Early application is not permitted. The Company’s adoption of provisions of ASU 2010-10 did not have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09 “Subsequent Events (ASC Topic 855) “Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements” (“ASU No. 2010-09”). ASU No. 2010-09 requires an entity that is an SEC filer to evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued and removes the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose a date, in both issued and revised financial statements, through which the filer had evaluated subsequent events. The adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.” ASU No. 2010-06 amends FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 and clarifies and provides additional disclosure requirements related to recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements and employers’ disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets. This ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The adoption of ASU 2010-06 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

6. Intangible Assets

On June 2, 2009, the Company entered into an Intellectual Property Rights Purchase and Transfer Agreement (“Agreement”) with Streamworks Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Streamworks”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company acquired a portfolio of sixteen patents and patent applications related primarily to the management, streaming and routing of electronic media. In consideration for the portfolio, Streamworks received 3,666,667 common shares of the Company and warrants to purchase 1,833,334 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.30 per share for a period of two years.

In addition, non-compete agreements were provided to the Company by certain management of Streamworks and the Company provided Streamworks with registration rights covering the common shares issued pursuant to the agreement. The Company valued the intellectual property at the fair value of the common shares and warrants provided totaling $5,470,851. The property purchased has not reached technological feasibility. Therefore, the Company valued the technology at its estimated fair value of $104,418 and recognized an impairment loss during the year ended September 30, 2009 of $5,366,433. The Company is amortizing the technology’s estimated fair value of $104,418 over its seven year estimated life. The Company incurred additional legal fees associated with the patent applications during the nine months ended June 30, 2010 of $23,609. Costs associated with patent applications are not being amortized. Upon the issuance of a patent, its respective cost will be amortized over the patent’s estimated useful life. Costs associated with abandoned applications are charged to operations. On March 30, 2010, the Company was issued US Patent 7,689,706 “System and Method for Streaming Media”. The costs associated with this patent of $3,116 is being amortized over the patent’s estimated useful life of 7 years. On December 14, 2009, the Company’s president assigned all of his rights in a patent and various patent applications for a total of $244,840, which represented the total legal fees he incurred relating to the property transferred. Of the $244,840 total, $42,368 is allocated to the cost of the patent and $202,472 is allocated to the various patent applications. The Company incurred additional legal fees associated with the patent applications during the nine months ended June 30, 2010 of $64,384.

The Company believes all of the financial instruments’ recorded values approximate fair market value because of their nature and respective durations.

The Company complies with the provisions of ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), previously referred to as SFAS No. 157. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements required under other accounting pronouncements. ASC 820-10-35, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures - Subsequent Measurement” (“ASC 820-10-35”), clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. ASC 820-10-35 also requires that a fair value measurement reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on the best information available. Assumptions include the risks inherent in a particular valuation technique (such as a pricing model) and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the model. The Company also follows ASC 825 “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” , previously referred to as FAS 107-1 to expand required disclosures.

ASC 820-10-35 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820-10-35 are described below:

Level 1 . Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that an entity has the ability to access.

Level 2 . Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 . Valuations based on inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company utilizes the best available information in measuring fair value. The following table summarizes, by level within the fair value hierarchy, the financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2010:

14. Deferred Income

In December 2005, the Company received $2,000,000 in connection with an option agreement and related service agreement. Under the terms of the option agreement, the third party payer had until July 30, 2006 to exercise the option to acquire the Company. The option was not exercised and the $2,000,000 is treated as an advance against royalties earned by the Company on the use of an application licensed to the third party payer.

Under the service agreement, the Company provides the application for the first four months at no cost, but is entitled to reimbursement for any direct pass through third party costs paid by the Company relating to the use of the licensed technology and related service. Thereafter the Company nets $.175 per transaction on the delivery of any mobile content to the third Party payer through the utilization of the application for a period of up to three years. As the $2,000,000 advance is not refundable, the Company is amortizing it into revenue evenly over the remaining

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) empowers a Delaware corporation to indemnify any persons who are, or are threatened to be made, parties to any threatened, pending or completed legal action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person was an officer or director of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided that such officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation’s best interests, and, for criminal proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was illegal. A Delaware corporation may indemnify officers and directors in an action by or in the right of the corporation under the same conditions, except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer or director is adjudged to be liable to the corporation in the performance of his duty. Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him against the expenses which such officer or director actually and reasonably incurred.

Our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and our Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, except that no indemnification will be provided to a director, officer, employee or agent if the indemnification sought is in connection with a proceeding initiated by such person without the authorization of the board of directors. The bylaws also provide that the right of directors and officers to indemnification shall be a contract right and shall not be exclusive of any other right now possessed or hereafter acquired under any statute, provision of our certificate of incorporation, bylaws, agreements, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. The bylaws also permit us to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or other agent for any liability arising out of his or her actions in such capacity.

In accordance with Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, provides that directors shall not be personally liable for monetary damages for breaches of their fiduciary duty as directors. The effect of this provision is to eliminate the personal liability of directors for monetary damages for actions involving a breach of their fiduciary duty of care, including any actions involving gross negligence. Notwithstanding this provision the DGCL does not permit us to eliminate personal liability for (i) breaches of their duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or knowing violations of law, (iii) certain transactions under Section 174 of the DGCL (unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions) or (iv) transactions from which a director derives an improper personal benefit.

Table of Contents

 

We have directors’ and officers’ liability insurance which provides, subject to certain policy limits, deductible amounts and exclusions, coverage for all persons who have been, are or may in the future be, our directors or officers, against amounts which such persons may pay resulting from claims against them by reason of their being such directors or officers during the policy period for certain breaches of duty, omissions or other acts done or wrongfully attempted or alleged. Such policies provide coverage to certain situations where we cannot directly provide indemnification under the DGCL.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described above, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that, although the validity and scope of the governing statutes have not been tested in court in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Item 17. Undertakings

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

1. To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

i. To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

ii. To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

iii. To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

2. That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

3. To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

II-9


Table of Contents

 

4. That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser,

…. (ii) each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale before such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately before such date of first use.

Insofar as indemnification by the registrant for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

  Re: Single Touch Systems Inc. Registration Statement on Form S-1

Ladies and Gentlemen:

At your request, we have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed by Single Touch Systems Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission, on November 12, 2010 (and as may be further amended or supplemented, the “Registration Statement”) in connection with the offering from time to time by certain holders of 8,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Selling Stockholder Shares”).

As your counsel in connection with this transaction, we have examined the proceedings taken and are familiar with the proceedings proposed to be taken by you in connection with the authorization, issuance and sale of the Selling Stockholder Shares.

Based on the foregoing, and subject to compliance with applicable state securities laws, it is our opinion that the Selling Stockholder Shares have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company, and are outstanding shares, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the use of our name under the caption “Legal Matters” in the prospectus which is a part of the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder, or Item 509 of Regulation S-K.

 

Very truly yours,
STRADLING YOCCA CARLSON & RAUTH

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

For the Purchase of              Shares

of Common Stock, $0.001 par value

of

SINGLE TOUCH INTERACTIVE, INC.

A Nevada Corporation

For value received,              (the “Holder”), or assigns, is entitled to, on or before the date specified below on which this Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the “Warrant”) expires, but not thereafter, to subscribe for, purchase and receive the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock set forth above, $0.001 par value (the “Common Stock”), of Single Touch interactive, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), at the price of $0.01 per share (the “Exercise Price”), upon presentation and surrender of this Warrant and upon payment by bank check of the Exercise Price for such shares of Common Stock to the Company at the principal office of the Company.

1. Exercise of Warrant . This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part, from time to time, commencing on the date hereof (the “Issue Date”) and expiring on the fifth (5th) anniversary date hereof, by presentation and surrender hereof to the Company, with the Exercise Form annexed hereto duly executed and accompanied by payment by bank check of the Exercise Price for the number of shares specified in such form, together with all federal and state taxes applicable upon such exercise, if any. If this Warrant should be exercised in part only, the Company shall, upon surrender of this Warrant for cancellation, execute and deliver a new Warrant evidencing the right of the Holder to purchase the balance of the shares purchasable hereunder. Upon receipt by the Company of this Warrant and the Exercise Price at the office of the Company, in proper form for exercise, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise, notwithstanding that certificates representing such shares of Common Stock shall not then be actually delivered to the Holder. If the subscription rights represented hereby shall not be exercised at or before 5:00 P.M., Pacific Time, on the expiration date specified above, this Warrant shall become void and without further force or effect, and all rights represented hereby shall cease and expire.

2. Rights of the Holder . Prior to exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall not, by virtue hereof, be entitled to any rights of a shareholder in the Company, either at law or equity, and the rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed in this Warrant and are not enforceable against the Company except to the extent set forth herein.


 

3. Adjustment in Number of Shares .

(A) Adjustment for Reclassifications . In case at any time, or from time to time, after the Issue Date the holders of the Common Stock of the Company (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall have received, or, on or after the record date fixed for the determination of eligible stockholders, shall have become entitled to receive, without payment therefore, other or additional stock or other securities or property (including cash) by way of stock-split, spin-off, reclassification, combination of shares or similar corporate rearrangement (exclusive of any stock dividend of its or any subsidiary’s capital stock), then and in each such case the Holder(s) of this Warrant, upon the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1, shall be entitled to receive the amount of stock and other securities and property which such Holder(s) would hold on the date of such exercise if on the Issue Date they had been the holder of record of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company called for on the face of this Warrant and had thereafter, during the period from the Issue Date, to and including the date of such exercise, retained such shares and/or all other or additional stock and other securities and property receivable by them as aforesaid during such period, giving effect to all adjustments called for during such period. In the event of a declaration of a dividend payable in shares of any equity security of a subsidiary of the Company, then the Company may cause to be issued a warrant to purchase shares of the subsidiary (“Springing Warrant”) in an amount equal to such number of shares of the subsidiary’s securities to which the Holders would have been entitled, but conditioned upon the exercise of this Warrant as a prerequisite to receiving the shares issuable pursuant to the Springing Warrant.

(B) Adjustment for Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger . In ease of any reorganization of the Company (or any other corporation the stock or other securities of which are at the time receivable on the exercise of this Warrant) alter the Issue Date, or in case, after such date, the Company (or any such other corporation) shall consolidate with or merge into another corporation or convey all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation, then and in each such case the Holder(s) of this Warrant, upon the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1, at any time after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation, merger or conveyance, shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the stock or other securities and property receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to such consummation, the stock or other securities or property to which such Holder(s) would be entitled had the Holders exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein; in each such case, the terms of this Warrant shall be applicable to the shares of stock or other securities or property receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant after such consummation.

4. Officer’s Certificate . Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant or the Exercise Price shall be adjusted as required by the provisions hereof, the Company shall forthwith file in the custody of its Secretary at its principal office, an officer’s certificate showing the adjusted number of shares of Common Stock or Exercise Price determined as herein provided and setting forth in reasonable detail the facts requiring such adjustment. Each such officer’s certificate shall be made available at all reasonable times for inspection by the Holder(s) and the Company shall, forthwith after each such adjustment, deliver a copy of such certificate to the Holder(s). Such certificate shall be conclusive as to the correctness of such adjustment.


 

5. Restrictions on Transfer . Certificates For the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall bear the following legend:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF A REGISTRATION STATEMENT IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT TO THE SHARES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR AN EXEMPTION FROM THE SECURITIES ACT. ANY SUCH TRANSFER MAY ALSO BE SUBJECT TO COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND THE LAWS OF OTHER APPLICABLE JURISDICTIONS.

The Holder, by acceptance hereof, agrees that, absent an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), covering the disposition of this Warrant or the Common Stock issued or issuable upon exercise hereof, such Holder(s) will not sell or transfer any or all of this Warrant or such Common Stock without first providing the Company with an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that such sale or transfer will be exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Act. The Holder agrees that the certificates evidencing the Warrant and Common Stock which will be delivered to the Holder by the Company shall hear substantially the following legend: The Holder of this Warrant, at the time all or a portion of such Warrant is exercised, agrees to make such written representations to the Company as counsel for the Company may reasonably request, in order that the Company may be reasonably satisfied that such exercise of the Warrant and consequent issuance of Common Shares will not violate the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Act, or other applicable stale securities laws.

6. Loss or Mutilation . Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it (in the exercise of reasonable discretion) of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) of indemnity satisfactory to it (in the exercise of reasonable discretion), and (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation thereof, the Company will execute and deliver in lieu thereof a new Warrant of like tenor.

7. Reservation of Common Stock . The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available for issue upon the exercise of the Warrants such number of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock as will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants.

8. Notices . All notices and other communications from the Company to the Holder of this Warrant shall be mailed by first class registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the address furnished to the Company in writing by the Holder.

9. Change; Waiver . Neither this Warrant nor any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought.

For any partial exercise hereof, the Holder shall designate in the subscription letter delivered to the Company the number of shares of Common Stock that it wishes to purchase. On any such partial exercise, the Company at its expense shall forthwith issue and deliver to the Holder a new warrant of like tenor, in the name of the Holder, which shall be exercisable for such number of shares of Common Stock represented by this Warrant which have not been purchased upon such exercise.

3. When Exercise Effective . The exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the business day on which this Warrant is surrendered to the Company together with the subscription letter and Purchase Price as provided in Section 2.


 

4. Delivery on Exercise . As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in full or in part, the Company will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder, or as the Holder may direct, a certificate or certificates for the number of fully paid and nonassessable full shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled on such exercise.

5. Adjustments to Conversion Price . The number and kind of shares of Common Stock (or any shares of stock or other securities which may be) issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant and the Purchase Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon happening of certain events, as follows:

5.1 Dividends, Distributions, Stock Splits or Combinations . If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the date hereof (a) make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of common or preferred stock (as the case my be), (b) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock or (c) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Purchase Price then in effect and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant shall be appropriately adjusted.

5.2 Reclassification or Reorganization . If the Common Stock (or any shares of stock or other securities which may be) issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be changed into the same or different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification or otherwise (other than subdivision or combination of shares or stock dividend provided for in Section 5.1 above, or a reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale of assets provided for in Section 5.3 below, then and in each event the Holder shall be entitled to receive upon the exercise of the Warrant the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification or other change, to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock (or any shares of stock or other securities which may be) issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant would have received if this Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification or other change, subject to further adjustments as provided herein.

5.3 Merger, Consolidation or sale of Assets .

The Company shall notify the Holder of a Sale Transaction at least ten (10) days prior to the closing of such Sale Transaction, and if the Company fails to deliver such written notice, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Warrant, this Warrant shall not expire until the Company complies with such notice provisions. If such closing does not take place., the Company shall promptly notify the Holder that such proposed transaction has been terminated, and the Holder may rescind any exercise of its purchase rights promptly after such notice of termination if the exercise of the Warrant occurred after the Company notified the Holder of the Sale Transaction.

5.4 Notice of Adjustments and Record Dates . The company shall promptly notify the holder in writing of each adjustment or readjustment of the Purchase Price and the number of shares of Common Stock (or any shares of stock or other securities which may be) issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant.

5.6 Certain Other Events .

The adjustment shall be such as will give the Holder of the Warrant upon exercise for the same aggregate Purchase Price the total number, class and kind of shares as the Holder would have owned had the Warrant been exercised prior to the event and had the Holder continued to hold such shares until after the event requiring adjustment.

6. Replacement of Warrants . On receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction of this Warrant, on delivery of any indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the company or, in the case of any such mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of such Warrant the Company at its expense will execute and deliver to the Holder, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.

7. No Rights or Liability as a Shareholder . This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company. No provisions hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by the Holder to purchase common Stock, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder as a shareholder of the Company.

8. Market Standoff . If requested by the Company and an underwriter of common stock of the Company, the Holder shall not, without the consent of such underwriter, sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company held by such Holder (other than those included in the registration) for a period specified by the underwriters not to exceed on hundred eighty (180) days (“Restricted Period”) following the effective date of the initial registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

3.17 Information

 

a.

In connection with this Agreement, including Supplier’s performance of its obligations hereunder and AT&T’s receipt of Material and Services, either Party may find it beneficial to disclose to the other Party (which may include permitting or enabling the other Party’s access to) certain of its Information. For the purpose of this clause, AT&T’s disclosure of Information to Supplier includes any Information that Supplier receives, observes, collects, handles, stores, or accesses, in

 

Proprietary and Confidential

This Agreement and information contained therein is not for use or disclosure outside of AT&T, its Affiliates, and third

party representatives, and Supplier except under written agreement by the contracting parties.

Agreement 20071210.103.A.002

 

 

any way, in connection with this Agreement. Likewise, Supplier’s disclosure of Information to AT&T includes any Information that AT&T receives, observes, collects, handles, stores, or accesses, in any way, in connection with this Agreement. Information of a disclosing Party shall be deemed to be confidential or proprietary only if it is clearly marked or otherwise identified by the disclosing Party as being confidential or proprietary, provided that if it is orally or visually disclosed (including Information conveyed to an answering machine, voice mail box or similar medium), the disclosing Party shall designate it as confidential or proprietary at the time of such disclosure. Not withstanding the foregoing, a disclosing Party shall not have any such obligation to so mark or identify, or to so designate, Information that the disclosing Party discloses to or is otherwise obtained by the other Party’s employees, contractors, or representatives (i) who are located on the disclosing Party’s premises; (ii) who access the disclosing Party’s systems; or (iii) who otherwise obtain AT&T and/or AT&T Customer Information in connection with this Agreement, any such Information so disclosed shall automatically be deemed to be confidential and proprietary. Additionally, the failure to mark or designate information as being confidential or proprietary will not waive the confidentiality where it is reasonably obvious, under the circumstances surrounding disclosure, that the Information is confidential or proprietary; any such Information so disclosed or obtained shall automatically be deemed to be confidential and proprietary. For greater certainty, Information provided by either Party to the other Party prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement in connection with the subject matter hereof, including any such Information provided under a separate non-disclosure agreement (howsoever denominated) is also subject to the terms of this Agreement. Neither Party shall disclose Information under this Agreement that includes, in any form, any of the following: customer or employee personal information, credit card and credit related information, financial information, and/or authentication credentials.

 

b. With respect to the Information of the disclosing Party, the receiving Party shall:

1. hold all such Information in confidence with the same degree of care with which it protects its own confidential or proprietary Information, but with no less than reasonably prudent care;

2. restrict disclosure of such Information solely to its employees, contractors, and agents with a need to know such Information, advise such persons of their confidentiality obligations hereunder with respect thereto, and ensure that such persons are bound by obligations of confidentiality reasonably comparable to those imposed in this Agreement;

3. use such Information only as needed to perform its obligations (and, if AT&T is the receiving Party, to receive the benefits of the Material and Services provided) under this Agreement;

4. except as necessary under clause (3), not copy, distribute, or otherwise use any such Information or allow anyone else to copy, distribute, or otherwise use such Information; and ensure that any and all copies bear the same notices or legends, if any, as the originals; and

5. upon the disclosing Party’s request, promptly return, or destroy all or any requested portion of the Information, including tangible and electronic copies, notes, summaries, extracts, mail or other communications, and provide written certification within fifteen (15) business days to the disclosing Party that such Information has been returned or destroyed, provided that with respect to archival or back-up copies of Information that reside on the receiving Party’s systems, the receiving Party shall be deemed to have complied with its obligations under this clause (5) if it makes reasonable efforts to expunge from such systems, or to permanently render irretrievable, such copies.

 

Proprietary and Confidential

This Agreement and information contained therein is not for use or disclosure outside of AT&T, its Affiliates, and third

party representatives, and Supplier except under written agreement by the contracting parties.

Agreement 20071210.103.A.002

 

 

c. Neither Party shall have any obligation to the other Party with respect to Information which:

1. at the time of disclosure was already known to the receiving Party free of any obligation to keep it confidential (as evidenced by the receiving Party’s written records prepared prior to such disclosure);

2. is or becomes publicly known through no wrongful act of the receiving Party (such obligations ceasing at the time such Information becomes publicly known);

3. is lawfully received from a third party, free of any obligation to keep it confidential;

4. is independently developed by the receiving Party or a third party, as evidenced by the receiving Party’s written records, and wherein such development occurred without any direct or indirect use of or access to the Information received from the disclosing Party, or

5. the disclosing Party consents in writing to be free of restriction.

 

d. If a receiving Party is required to provide Information of a disclosing Party to any court or government agency pursuant to a written court order, subpoena, regulatory demand, or process of law, the receiving Party must, unless prohibited by applicable law, first provide the disclosing Party with prompt written notice of such requirement and reasonable cooperation to the disclosing Party should it seek reasonable protective arrangements for the production of such Information. The receiving Party will (i) take reasonable steps to limit any such provision of Information to the specific Information required by such court or agency, and (ii) continue to otherwise protect all Information disclosed in response to such order, subpoena, regulation, or process of law.

 

e. A receiving Party’s obligations with respect to any particular Information of a disclosing Party shall remain in effect, including after the expiration, Termination or Cancellation of this Agreement, until such time as it qualifies under one of the exceptions set forth in clause (3) above.

10. Section 3.18, Infringement, shall be deleted and replaced as follows:

3.18 Infringement

 

a. Definitions . For purposes of this section:

 

  i. “Indemnified Parties” shall mean AT&T and its Affiliates, as well as their agents, distributors and customers, individually or collectively, as the case may be.

defending an indemnified claim or asserting any claim for indemnification or defense under this Agreement, including Attorney’s Fees, other professionals’ fees, and disbursements. “Attorney’s Fees” include a charge for the expenses and time of in-house counsel at the market rate for attorneys in private practice who have similar experience.

 

  iii. For avoidance of doubt, the term “Materials and Services” shall include any portion or functionality of any Material(s) or Service(s).

 

b. Obligations .

 

  i. Supplier shall indemnify, hold harmless, and defend the Indemnified Parties against any Loss resulting from, arising out of or relating to any allegation, threat, demand, claim or lawsuit (“Claim”) of:

 

  1. infringement of any patent, copyright, trade mark, service mark, trade secret, or other intellectual property right (including, for avoidance of doubt, direct, contributory and active inducement infringement) in connection with the Materials or Services, including, for example, any Claim of infringement based on:

 

  a. making, repair, receipt, use, importing, sale or disposal (and offers to do any of the foregoing) of Materials and Services, or

 

  b. use of Materials and Services in combination with products, systems, services, processes or methods not furnished by Supplier, including, for example, use in the form of the making or using of an apparatus or system, or the making or practicing of a process or method (a “Combination Claim”).

 

  2. misappropriation of any trade secret, proprietary or non-public information in connection with the Materials and Services;

(any such Loss referenced in sections 1 or 2 of this paragraph b.i, a “Covered Loss” regardless of whether such Claim is meritorious).

 

  ii. In the event (and only in the event) that Supplier’s obligations under paragraph b.i result from, arise out of, or relate to a Combination Claim, the following provisions shall apply:

 

  1. Supplier shall be liable to pay only its Proportionate Share of the Covered Loss associated with such Combination Claim. The “Proportionate Share” payable by Supplier shall be a portion of the Covered Loss determined on a fair and equitable basis to be attributable to Supplier based on the materiality of the applicable Materials and Services to the Combination Claim.

 

  2. Supplier shall be liable to the Indemnified Parties (or to a third party claimant directly, if applicable) for its duly determined Proportionate Share of the Covered Loss with respect to a particular Combination Claim, regardless of whether any other interested party compensates the Indemnified Parties as part of an indemnification obligation, if any, relating to the Combination Claim.

9


Agreement 20071210.103.A.002

 

 

  3. Supplier shall make payments in satisfaction of its Proportionate Share obligation (“Proportionate Share Payments”) whenever those Proportionate Share Payments become due (for example, Supplier shall make Proportionate Share Payments for indemnified defense costs when payment is due to be paid to outside counsel; and Supplier will make Proportionate Share Payments for court awards (such as damages) when payment is required by the court; and Supplier will make Proportionate Share Payments for settlement when payment is due to be paid according to the terms of a settlement agreement). Supplier shall be liable to the Indemnified Parties for any monies owed (such as a Proportionate Share) by any of Supplier’s affiliates should such affiliates fail to pay in accordance with its indemnification obligation to the Indemnified Parties.

 

  4. The Indemnified Parties shall select a single lead counsel to defend such Combination Claim and Supplier agrees to share authority and control over the defense of any such Combination Claim with the Indemnified Parties and other interested parties.

 

  iii. In the event (and only in the event) that Supplier’s obligations under paragraph b.i result from, arise out of, or relate to other than a Combination Claim, and the Claim against the Indemnified Parties concerns products or services (including the Materials or Services) provided by more than one Supplier, the following provisions shall apply:

 

  1. Supplier agrees that it will cooperate reasonably with the Indemnified Parties and other Suppliers who have provided products or services to the Indemnified Parties, each of which products or services is also subject to the Claim (“Other Suppliers”) in order to defend the Indemnified Parties in a coordinated effort.

 

  2. AT&T shall select a single lead counsel to defend such Claim and Supplier agrees to share authority and control over the defense of any such Claim with the Indemnified Parties and Other Suppliers.

 

  3. Supplier shall be liable to pay only its Associated Share of the Loss which is equal to the Loss multiplied by a fraction equal to the net amount paid by the Indemnified Parties to Supplier for the applicable Material and Services divided by the total aggregate net amount paid by the Indemnified Parties to all Suppliers for products or services that are involved in the Claim.

 

  4. Supplier shall make payments in satisfaction of its Associated Share obligation (“Associated Share Payments”) whenever those Associated Share Payments become due (for example, Supplier shall make Associated Share Payments for indemnified defense costs when payment is due to be paid to outside counsel; and Supplier will make Associated Share Payments for court awards (such as damages) when payment is required by the court; and Supplier will make Associated Share Payments for settlement when payment is due to be paid according to the terms of a settlement agreement). Supplier shall be liable to the Indemnified Parties for any monies owed (such as an Associated Share) by any of Supplier’s affiliates should such affiliates fail to pay in accordance with its indemnification obligation to the Indemnified Parties.

c. Continued Use of Materials and Services Subject to Non-Combination Claims .

 

  i. If, as a result of a third party claim other than an Combination Claim, (i) Indemnified Parties’ rights under this Agreement are restricted or diminished; or (ii) an injunction is sought or is likely (in Supplier’s judgment) to be issued against the Indemnified Parties’ use of Materials and Services, or (iii) Material or Services are likely (in Supplier’s judgment) to become the subject of a claim of infringement, then, in addition to its other obligations set forth in this Section, Supplier, in any case at its sole expense and at no loss, cost or damage to the Indemnified Parties or their customers, shall obtain for the Indemnified Parties the right to continue using or conducting other activities with respect to (as the case may be) the Materials or Services; provided that if Supplier is unable to obtain such right, Supplier shall, after consulting with and obtaining the written approval of the Indemnified Parties, provide modified or replacement non-infringing Materials or Services that are equally suitable and functionally equivalent while retaining the quality of the original Materials or Services.

 

  ii. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, should an injunction be issued against any person (whether or not stayed or currently in effect), based on a claim other than a Combination Claim, affecting Indemnified Parties’ ability to use or conduct other activities with respect to the Materials and Services, then the Indemnified Parties may seek the right to continue to use, or conduct other activities with respect to, the Materials and Services, and Supplier shall reimburse the Indemnified Parties for the costs (including reasonable attorney’s fees) associated with obtaining such right; provided however that Supplier shall be responsible for costs associated with use or activities with respect to the Materials and Services only and not any other products or services used by the Indemnified Parties.

 

d. Elimination of Charges . AT&T has no obligation to pay Supplier any charges under this Agreement for the purchase, use, or maintenance of Materials or Services after such time as the Indemnified Parties cease to use them, by reason of actual or claimed infringement.

 

e. Procedures Relating to Indemnification . The Parties shall follow the procedures respecting indemnification provided in the Section entitled “Indemnity”. In the event of any conflict between this Section 3.18 and the Section entitled “Indemnity”, the provisions of this Section 3.18 shall prevail.

 

f. Forbidden Settlements . In no event shall Supplier settle any Combination Claim or other Claim in whole or in part in a manner that would amount to Supplier paying less than its determined Proportionate Share or Associated Share, or that would otherwise negatively impact AT&T in a material way (relative to a similar settlement by any other participating parties).

Supplier shall provide to AT&T, upon request, information about the Subcontractor including the identity, location, and a complete description of the activities to be performed by such Subcontractor. Where a portion of the work is approved to be subcontracted, Supplier remains fully responsible for performance thereof and shall be responsible to AT&T for the acts and omissions of any Subcontractor.

AT&T acknowledges and agrees that the exercise of such right may result in a delay in the resumption of Services when requested by AT&T.

 

b. The rights and obligations of the Parties under this Section are in addition to, and not a limitation of, their respective rights under the Sections entitled “Amendments and Waivers” and “Force Majeure.”

19. Section 3.42, Offshore Work Prohibited, shall be added to agreement as follows:

3.42 Offshore Work Prohibited

None of the Work under this Agreement shall be performed, and no Information related to this Agreement shall be collected, stored, handled or accessed at any location outside of the United States.

18


Agreement 20071210.103.A.002

 

 

b. Supplier shall pay any penalty, interest, additional tax, or other charge that may be levied or assessed as a result of the delay or failure of Supplier, for any reason, to pay any tax or file any return or information required by law, rule or regulation or by this Agreement to be paid or filed by Supplier.

 

c. Upon AT&T’s request, the Parties shall consult with respect to the basis and rates upon which Supplier shall pay any taxes or fees for which AT&T is obligated to reimburse Supplier under this Agreement. If AT&T determines that in its opinion any such taxes or fees are not payable, or should be paid on a basis less than the full price or at rates less than the full tax rate, AT&T shall notify Supplier in writing of such determinations, Supplier shall make payment in accordance with such determinations, and AT&T shall be responsible for such determinations. If collection is sought by the taxing authority for a greater amount of taxes than that so determined by AT&T, Supplier shall promptly notify AT&T. If AT&T desires to contest such collection, AT&T shall promptly notify Supplier. Supplier shall cooperate with AT&T in contesting such determination, but AT&T shall be responsible and shall reimburse Supplier for any tax, interest, or penalty in excess of AT&T’s determination.

 

d. If AT&T determines that in its opinion it has reimbursed Supplier for any taxes in excess of the amount that AT&T is obligated to reimburse Supplier, AT&T and Supplier shall consult to determine the appropriate method of recovery of such excess reimbursements. Supplier shall credit any excess reimbursements against tax reimbursements or other payments due from AT&T if and to the extent Supplier can make corresponding adjustments to its payments to the relevant tax authority. At AT&T’s request, Supplier shall timely file any claims for refund and any other documents required to recover any other excess reimbursements, and shall promptly remit to AT&T all such refunds and interest received.

 

e. If any taxing authority advises Supplier that it intends to audit Supplier with respect to any taxes for which AT&T is obligated to reimburse Supplier under this Agreement, Supplier shall (i) promptly so notify AT&T, (ii) afford AT&T an opportunity to participate on an equal basis with Supplier in such audit with respect to such taxes and (iii) keep AT&T fully informed as to the progress of such audit. Each Party shall bear its own expenses with respect to any such audit, and the responsibility for any additional tax, interest or penalty resulting from such audit is to be determined in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Taxes Section. Supplier’s failure to comply with the notification requirements of this Taxes Section will relieve AT&T of its responsibility to reimburse Supplier for taxes only if Supplier’s failure materially prejudiced AT&T’s ability to contest imposition or assessment of those taxes.

 

f. In addition to its rights under Subsections c., d., and e. above with respect to any tax or tax controversy covered by this Taxes Section, AT&T is entitled to contest, pursuant to applicable law and tariffs, and at its own expense, any tax previously invoiced that it is ultimately obligated to pay. AT&T is entitled to the benefit of any refund or recovery of amounts that it has previously paid resulting from such a contest. Supplier shall cooperate in any such contest, but AT&T shall pay all costs and expenses incurred in obtaining a refund or credit for AT&T.

 

g. If either Party is audited by a taxing authority or other governmental entity in connection with taxes under this Taxes Section, the other Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Party being audited in order to respond to any audit inquiries in an appropriate and timely manner, so that the audit and any resulting controversy may be resolved expeditiously.

party representatives, and Supplier except under written agreement by the contracting parties.

19


Agreement 20071210.103.A.002

 

 

h. AT&T and Supplier shall reasonably cooperate with each other with respect to any tax planning to minimize taxes. The degree of cooperation contemplated by this section is to enable any resulting tax planning to be implemented and includes, but is not limited to: (i) Supplier’s installing and loading all of the Software licensed by AT&T, and retaining possession and ownership of all tangible personal property, (ii) Supplier installing, loading and/or transferring the Software at a location selected by AT&T, and (iii) Supplier Delivering all of the Software in electronic form. AT&T shall bear all reasonable external (paid to third parties), additional expenses incurred by Supplier to comply with the provisions of this subsection, but AT&T’s advance written consent is required whenever these expenses for any Software item or update are expected to exceed two thousand dollars ($2,000) or one percent (1%) of the cost of the item or update, whichever is less. Supplier’s cooperation is not an agreement with, or guarantee of, the taxability or non-taxability of the transaction.

4.0 Special Terms

21. Section 4.2, Background Checks, shall be deleted and replaced as follows:

4.2 Background Checks

 

a. Supplier, with respect to the following requirements in this Section (collectively, “Background Checks”) and subject to any federal, state, or local laws, rules or regulations which may limit any Supplier action otherwise required by this section, (i) shall make all reasonable and legally permitted efforts, including checking the background, verifying the personal information and conducting a Drug Screen to determine and verify all information necessary to represent and warrant to AT&T that no Supplier employee, contractor or subcontractor and no employee or agent of any Supplier contractor or subcontractor (“Supplier Person”) who Supplier proposes to have perform any Service that permits physical, virtual or other access to AT&T ‘s or its customer’s premises, systems, networks, or Information (“Access”) at any time during the term of the Agreement., (a) has presented a positive Drug Screen, (b) has been convicted of any felony, or has been convicted of any misdemeanor involving violence, sexual misconduct, theft or computer crimes, fraud or financial crimes, drug distribution, or crimes involving unlawful possession or use of a dangerous weapon (“Conviction”) or (c) is identified on any government registry as a sex offender; and (ii) shall not permit any such Person presenting a positive Drug Screen, having a Conviction, or being a registered sex offender to perform any Service that permits such Access during the term of the Agreement, subject to any federal, state, or local restrictions on the consideration of criminal convictions in making employment decisions.

 

b. Supplier shall comply with the obligations of subsections (b) and (c) above through the use of a third party service which shall perform a review of applicable records for those counties, states, and federal court districts in which a proposed Supplier Person has identified as having resided, worked, or attended school in the previous ten (10) years, unless a shorter period is required by any federal, state, or local law.

party representatives, and Supplier except under written agreement by the contracting parties.

20


Agreement 20071210.103.A.002

 

 

c. Supplier acknowledges and agrees that it is Supplier’s sole and exclusive responsibility to determine whether a Supplier Person with a Conviction should be denied Access during the term of the Agreement under the terms of this Agreement and in compliance with all federal, state, and local laws, unless an exception is granted by AT&T under paragraph e. of this Section.

 

d. Supplier represents and warrants to AT&T that, to the best of its knowledge, no Supplier Person has (i) falsified any of his or her Identification Credentials, or (ii) failed to disclose any material information in the hiring process relevant to the performance of any Service. Supplier shall not permit any Supplier Person who has falsified such Identification Credentials or failed to disclose such information to perform any Service that permits Access.

 

e. The following definitions apply:

 

  1. “Identification Credentials” includes, with respect to each Supplier Person, his or her Social Security number, driver’s license, educational credentials, employment history, home address, and citizenship indicia.

 

  2. “Drug Screen” means the testing for the use of illicit drugs (including opiates, cocaine, cannabinoids, amphetamines, and phencyclidine (PCP)) of any Supplier Person who (i) has unsupervised (or badged) physical Access to AT&T’s or its customer’s premises, or (ii) has regular or recurring supervised physical Access to AT&T’s or its customer’s premises for more than thirty (30) days in the aggregate annually.

 

f. The failure of Supplier to comply with the requirements of this Section, and/or if any Person who fails such Background Check or who has falsified Identification Credentials does perform any Service that permits such Access, shall each be considered a material breach of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, exceptions for individual Supplier Persons may be granted by AT&T on a case-by-case basis.

The terms and conditions of Agreement No. 20071210.103.C in all other respects remain unmodified and in full force and effect.

Original signature transmitted and received via facsimile or other electronic transmission of a scanned document, (e.g., .pdf or similar format) are true and valid signatures for all purposes hereunder and shall bind the Parties to the same extent as that of an original signature. This Amendment may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to constitute an original but all of which together shall constitute only one document.

NOTICE OF STOCK OPTION GRANT

                                                  :

You have been granted an option to purchase Common Stock of Single Touch Systems Inc., formerly known as Hosting Site Network, Inc. (the “ Company ”) as follows:

 

Board Approval Date:

                      

Date of Grant (Later of Board

Approval Date or Commencement

of Employment/Consulting):

                      

Exercise Price per Share:

  $                     

Total Number of Shares Granted:

                      

Total Exercise Price:

  $                     

Type of Option:

                       Shares Incentive Stock Option
                       Shares Nonqualified Stock Option

Expiration Date:

                      

Vesting Commencement Date:

                      

Vesting/Exercise Schedule:

  So long as you are in Continuous Service Status with the Company (as defined in the Stock Option Agreement), the Shares underlying this Option shall vest and become exercisable in accordance with the following schedule:                      of the total number of Shares subject to the Option shall vest and become exercisable immediately;                      of the total number of Shares subject to the Option shall vest and become exercisable on the          month anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date and              of the total number of Shares subject to the Option shall vest and become exercisable on each              ly anniversary thereafter.

Termination Period:

  To the extent allowed by Section 5 of the Stock Option Agreement and not otherwise (and in no event later than the Expiration Date), this Option may be

 

1


 

   exercised for 90 days after termination of Optionee’s employment or consulting relationship. Optionee is responsible for keeping track of the applicable exercise period, if any, following termination for any reason of his or her service relationship with the Company. The Company will not provide further notice of such exercise period, if any.

Transferability:

   This Option may not be transferred.

By your signature and the signature of the Company’s representative below, you and the Company agree that this option is granted under and governed by the terms and conditions of the Company’s 2008 Stock Option Plan and the Stock Option Agreement, both of which are attached and made a part of this document. Accordingly, separate execution and delivery of the Stock Option Agreement is not required.

In addition, you agree and acknowledge that your rights to any Shares underlying the Option will be earned only as you provide services to the Company over time, that the grant of the Option is not as consideration for services you rendered to the Company before your Vesting Commencement Date, and that nothing in this Notice or the attached documents confers upon you any right to continue your employment or consulting relationship with the Company for any period of time, nor does it interfere in any way with your right or the Company’s right to terminate that relationship at any time, for any reason, with or without Cause.

The per share “Exercise Price” is intended to be at least equal to the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock at the date of grant. The Company has attempted in good faith to make the fair market value determination in compliance with applicable tax law although there can be no certainty that the IRS will agree. If the IRS does not agree and asserts the fair market value at the time of grant is higher than the Exercise Price, the IRS could seek to impose greater taxes on you, including interest and penalties under Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. While the Company thinks this is an unlikely event, the Company cannot provide absolute assurance and you may want to consult your own tax adviser with any questions.

Single Touch Systems Inc. (formerly known as Hosting Site Network, Inc.)

2008 Stock Option Plan

STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

1. Grant of Option . Single Touch Systems Inc., formerly known as Hosting Site Network, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Compan y”), hereby grants to                      (“ Optionee ”), an option (the “ Option ”) to purchase the total number of shares of Common Stock (the “ Shares ”) set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant (the “ Notice ”), at the exercise price per Share set forth in the Notice (the “ Exercise Price ”) subject to the terms, definitions and provisions of the Company’s 2008 Stock Option Plan (the “ Plan ”) adopted by the Company, which is incorporated in this Agreement by reference. Unless otherwise defined in this Agreement, the terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings defined in the Plan or in the Notice.

2. Designation of Option . This Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option as defined in Section 422 of the Code only to the extent so designated in the Notice, and to the extent it is not so designated or to the extent the Option does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option under Applicable Laws, then it is intended to be and will be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option. “ Applicable Laws ” means the legal requirements relating to the administration of stock option and restricted stock purchase plans, including under applicable U.S. state corporate laws, U.S. federal and applicable state securities laws, other U.S. federal and state laws, the Code, any stock exchange rules or regulations and the applicable laws, rules and regulations of any other country or jurisdiction where Options or other Awards are granted under the Plan, as such laws, rules, regulations and requirements shall be in place from time to time.

Notwithstanding the above, if designated as an Incentive Stock Option, in the event that the Shares subject to this Option (and all other Incentive Stock Options granted to Optionee by the Company or any Affiliate, including under other plans of the Company) that first become exercisable in any calendar year have an aggregate fair market value (determined for each Share as of the date of grant of the option covering such Share) in excess of $100,000, the Shares in excess of $100,000 shall be treated as subject to a Nonqualified Stock Option, in accordance with Section 5(c)(iii) of the Plan.

3. Exercise of Option . This Option shall be exercisable during its term in accordance with the Vesting/Exercise Schedule set out in the Notice and with the provisions of Section 5 of the Plan as follows:

 

  (a) Right to Exercise .

(i) This Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a share.

(ii) In the event of Optionee’s death, disability or other termination of employment, the exercisability of the Option is governed by Section 5 below, subject to the limitations contained in this Section 3.

 

-1-


 

(iii) In no event may this Option be exercised after the Expiration Date of the Option as set forth in the Notice.

 

  (b) Method of Exercise .

(i) This Option shall be exercisable by execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice and Stock Purchase Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “ Exercise Agreement ”) or of any other form of written notice approved for such purpose by the Company which shall state Optionee’s election to exercise the Option, the number of Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised, and such other representations and agreements as to the holder’s investment intent with respect to such Shares as may be required by the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. Such written notice shall be signed by Optionee and shall be delivered to the Company by such means as are determined by the Committee in its discretion to constitute adequate delivery. The written notice shall be accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price. This Option shall be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of such written notice accompanied by the Exercise Price.

(ii) As a condition to the exercise of this Option and as further set forth in Section 10 of the Plan, Optionee agrees to make adequate provision for federal, state or other tax withholding obligations, if any, which arise upon the vesting or exercise of the Option, or disposition of Shares, whether by withholding, direct payment to the Company, or otherwise.

(iii) The Company is not obligated, and will have no liability for failure, to issue or deliver any Shares upon exercise of the Option unless such issuance or delivery would comply with the Applicable Laws, with such compliance determined by the Company in consultation with its legal counsel. This Option may not be exercised until such time as the Plan has been approved by the stockholders of the Company, or if the issuance of such Shares upon such exercise or the method of payment of consideration for such shares would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities or other law or regulation, including any rule under Part 221 of Title 12 of the Code of Federal Regulations as promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board. As a condition to the exercise of this Option, the Company may require Optionee to make any representation and warranty to the Company as may be required by the Applicable Laws. Assuming such compliance, for income tax purposes the Shares shall be considered transferred to Optionee on the date on which the Option is exercised with respect to such Shares.

4. Method of Payment . Payment of the Exercise Price shall be by any of the following, or a combination of the following, at the election of Optionee:

(a) cash or check; or

(b) if the Company (in its sole discretion, at the time) is at such time permitting “same day sale” cashless brokered exercises, delivery of a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker participating in such cashless brokered exercise program to deliver promptly to the Company the amount required to pay the exercise price (and applicable withholding taxes).

 

-2-


 

5. Termination of Relationship; Early Termination of Option . Following the date of cessation of Optionee’s Continuous Service Status for any reason (the “ Termination Date ”), Optionee may exercise the Option only as set forth in the Notice and this Section 5. To the extent that Optionee is not entitled to exercise this Option as of the Termination Date, or if Optionee does not exercise this Option within the Termination Period set forth in the Notice or the termination periods set forth below, the Option shall terminate in its entirety. In no event may any Option be exercised after the Expiration Date of the Option as set forth in the Notice. “ Continuous Service Status ” means the absence of any interruption or termination of service as an employee (including officer) or Outside Director of, or consultant or advisor to, either the Company or an Affiliate. Continuous Service Status shall not be considered interrupted in the case of: (i) sick leave; (ii) military leave; (iii) any other leave of absence approved by the Committee, provided that such leave is for a period of not more than 90 days, unless reemployment upon the expiration of such leave is guaranteed by contract or statute, or unless provided otherwise pursuant to Company policy adopted from time to time; or (iv) transfers between locations of the Company or between the Company, its Affiliates or their respective successors. A change in status from the status of an employee, Outside Director, consultant or advisor to another of such statuses will not constitute an interruption of Continuous Service Status. However, for Incentive Stock Option purposes, termination of Continuous Service Status will occur when the employee ceases to be an employee (as determined in accordance with Section 3401(c) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder) of the Company or one of its subsidiaries. The Committee shall determine whether any corporate transaction, such as a sale or spin-off of a division or business unit, or a joint venture, shall be deemed to result in a termination of Continuous Service Status.

(a) Termination . In the event of termination of Optionee’s Continuous Service Status other than as a result of voluntary termination by the Optionee or Optionee’s disability or death or for Cause (as defined in the Plan), Optionee may, to the extent Optionee is vested in the Option Shares at the Termination Date, exercise this Option during the Termination Period set forth in the Notice.

(b) Other Terminations of Relationship . In connection with any termination other than a termination covered by Section 5(a), Optionee may exercise the Option only as described below:

(i) Termination upon Disability of Optionee . In the event of termination of Optionee’s Continuous Service Status as a result of Optionee’s disability, Optionee may, but only within twelve months from the Termination Date, exercise this Option to the extent Optionee was vested in the Option Shares as of such Termination Date.

(ii) Death of Optionee . In the event of the death of Optionee (a) during the term of this Option and while an employee (including officers) or Outside Director of, or consultant or advisor to, either the Company or an Affiliate and having been in Continuous Service Status since the date of grant of the Option, or (b) within three months after Optionee’s Termination Date (but only if such cessation of services was not as a result of voluntary termination by the Optionee or for Cause), the Option may be exercised at any time within twelve months following the date of death by Optionee’s estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent Optionee was vested in the Option as of the Termination Date.

 

-3-


 

(iii) Resignation; Termination for Cause . In the event Optionee’s Continuous Service Status is terminated as a result of voluntary termination by the Optionee or for Cause, the Option shall terminate immediately upon such termination for Cause as set forth in Section 5(c)(v) of the Plan. In the event Optionee’s employment or consulting relationship with the Company is suspended pending investigation of whether such relationship shall be terminated for Cause, all Optionee’s rights under the Option, including the right to exercise the Option, shall be suspended during the investigation period. The Committee shall have authority to effect such procedures and take such actions as are necessary to carry out the legal intent of this Section 5(b)(iii), including such procedures and actions as are required to cause Optionee to return to the Company Shares purchased under the Option that have been purchased or that vested within six months of the events giving rise to the for-Cause termination of Optionee’s Continuous Service Status and, if such Shares have been transferred by the Optionee, to remit to the Company the value of such transferred Shares.

(c) Termination of Option . This Option may terminate before its Expiration Date and before the dates specified under Section 5(a) and (b) above under certain circumstances as set forth in Section 13 of the Plan.

6. Non-Transferability of Option . Except as otherwise set forth in the Notice, this Option may not be transferred in any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of Optionee only by him or her. The terms of this Option shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of Optionee.

7. Tax Consequences . The Company has not provided any tax advice with respect to this Option or the disposition of the Shares. Optionee should obtain advice from an appropriate independent professional adviser with respect to the taxation implications of the grant, exercise, assignment, release, cancellation or any other disposal of this Option (each, a “ Trigger Event ”) and on any subsequent sale or disposition of the Shares. Optionee should also take advice in respect of the taxation indemnity provisions under Section 8 below. The per share Exercise Price of the Option is intended to be at least equal to the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock at the date of grant. The Company has attempted in good faith to make the fair market value determination in compliance with applicable tax law although there can be no certainty that the IRS will agree. If the IRS does not agree and asserts the fair market value at the time of grant is higher than the Exercise Price, the IRS could seek to impose greater taxes on Optionee, including interest and penalties under Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. While the Company thinks this is an unlikely event, the Company cannot provide absolute assurance and Optionee may want to consult Optionee’s own tax adviser with any questions.

 

  8. Optionee’s Taxation Indemnity .

(a) To the extent permitted by law, Optionee hereby agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and the Company as trustee for and on behalf of any affiliate

 

-4-


entity, in respect of any liability or obligation of the Company and/or any affiliate entity to account for income tax or any other taxation provisions under the laws of Optionee’s country or citizenship and/or residence to the extent arising from a Trigger Event or arising out of the acquisition, retention and disposal of the Shares.

(b) The Company shall not be obliged to allot and issue any of the Shares or any interest in the Shares unless and until Optionee has paid to the Company such sum as is, in the opinion of the Company, sufficient to indemnify the Company in full against any liability the Company has for any amount of, or representing, income tax or any other tax arising from a Trigger Event (the “ Option Tax Liability ”), or Optionee has made such other arrangement as in the opinion of the Company will ensure that the full amount of any Option Tax Liability will be recovered from Optionee within such period as the Company may then determine.

 

  9. Data Protection .

EXHIBIT A

Single Touch Systems Inc. (formerly known as Hosting Site Network, Inc.)

2008 Stock Option Plan

EXERCISE NOTICE AND STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This Agreement (“ Agreement ”) is made as of                      , by and between Single Touch Systems Inc., formerly known as Hosting Site Network, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), and                      (“ Purchaser ”). To the extent any capitalized terms used in this Agreement are not defined, they shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Company’s 2008 Stock Option Plan (the “ Plan ”).

1. Exercise of Option . Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Purchaser hereby elects to exercise his or her option to purchase                      shares of the Common Stock (the “ Shares ”) of the Company under and pursuant to the Plan and the Stock Option Agreement granted                               ,                      (the “ Option Agreement ”). The purchase price for the Shares shall be $                      per Share for a total purchase price of $                      . The term “ Shares ” refers to the purchased Shares and all securities received in replacement of the Shares or as stock dividends or splits, all securities received in replacement of the Shares in a recapitalization, merger, reorganization, exchange or the like, and all new, substituted or additional securities or other properties to which Purchaser is entitled by reason of Purchaser’s ownership of the Shares.

2. Time and Place of Exercise . The purchase and sale of the Shares under this Agreement shall occur at the principal office of the Company simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 3(b) of the Option Agreement. On such date, the Company will deliver to Purchaser a certificate representing the Shares to be purchased by Purchaser (which shall be issued in Purchaser’s name) against payment of the exercise price therefor by Purchaser by any method listed in Section 4 of the Option Agreement.

3. Limitations on Transfer . In addition to any other limitation on transfer created by applicable securities laws, Purchaser shall not assign, encumber or dispose of any interest in the Shares except in compliance with the provisions below and applicable securities laws.

4. Repurchase Option on Termination For Cause . Purchaser acknowledges that in the event of termination of Purchaser’s Continuous Service Status for Cause, the Committee shall have authority to effect such procedures and take such actions as are necessary to carry out the legal intent of Section 5(b)(iii) of the Option Agreement and Section 5(c)(v) of the Plan, including such procedures and actions as are required to cause Purchaser to return to the Company Shares purchased under the Option that have been purchased or that vested within six months of the events giving rise to the for-Cause termination of Purchaser’s Continuous Service Status and, if such Shares have been transferred by the Purchaser, to remit to the Company the value of such transferred Shares.

5. Investment and Taxation Representations . In connection with the purchase of the Shares, Purchaser represents to the Company the following (provided, that the representation in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) shall be applicable if and only if the Shares are not registered under the Securities Act on Form S-8):

(a) Purchaser is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Shares. Purchaser is purchasing these securities for investment for his or her own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act or under any applicable provision of state law. Purchaser does not have any present intention to transfer the Shares to any person or entity.

(b) Purchaser understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Purchaser’s investment intent as expressed herein.

(c) Purchaser further acknowledges and understands that the securities must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Purchaser further acknowledges and understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the securities. Purchaser understands that the certificate(s) evidencing the securities will be imprinted with a legend which prohibits the transfer of the securities unless they are registered or such registration is not required in the opinion of counsel for the Company.

(d) Purchaser is familiar with the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, which, in substance, permit limited public resale of “restricted securities” acquired, directly or indirectly, from the issuer of the securities (or from an affiliate of such issuer), in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Purchaser understands that the Company provides no assurances as to whether he or she will be able to resell any or all of the Shares pursuant to Rule 144, which rule requires, among other things, that the Company be subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that resales of securities take place only after the holder of the Shares has held the Shares for certain specified time periods, and under certain circumstances, that resales of securities be limited in volume and take place only pursuant to brokered transactions. Notwithstanding this paragraph (d), Purchaser acknowledges and agrees to the restrictions set forth in paragraph (e) below.

(e) Purchaser further understands that in the event all of the applicable requirements of Rule 144 are not satisfied, registration under the Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some other registration exemption will be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rule 144 is not exclusive, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a

 

-2-


registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to Rule 144 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so at their own risk.

(f) Purchaser understands that Purchaser may suffer adverse tax consequences as a result of Purchaser’s purchase or disposition of the Shares. Purchaser represents that Purchaser has consulted any tax consultants Purchaser deems advisable in connection with the purchase or disposition of the Shares and that Purchaser is not relying on the Company for any tax advice.

(g) Purchaser understands that the per share “Exercise Price” for the Shares is intended to be at least equal to the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock at the date of grant and that the Company has attempted in good faith to make the fair market value determination in compliance with applicable tax law although there can be no certainty that the IRS will agree. Purchaser understands that if the IRS does not agree and asserts that the fair market value at the time of grant is higher than the Exercise Price, the IRS could seek to impose greater taxes on Purchaser, including interest and penalties under Internal Revenue Code Section 409A.

 

  6. Restrictive Legends and Stop-Transfer Orders .

(a) Legends . If the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act on Form S-8, the certificate or certificates representing the Shares shall bear the following legend (as well as any legends required by applicable state and federal corporate and securities laws):

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. NO SUCH SALE OR DISTRIBUTION MAY BE EFFECTED UNLESS EFFECTED PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR UNDER ANOTHER EXEMPTION AVAILABLE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (AS TO WHICH AVAILABILITY THE COMPANY MAY REQUIRE THE SELLER/TRANSFEROR TO PROVIDE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY).

(b) Stop-Transfer Notices . Purchaser agrees that, in order to ensure compliance with the restrictions referred to herein, the Company may issue appropriate “stop transfer” instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and that, if the Company transfers its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records.

 

-3-


 

(c) Refusal to Transfer . The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any Shares that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement or (ii) to treat as owner of such Shares or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such Shares shall have been so transferred.

7. No Employment Rights . Nothing in this Agreement shall affect in any manner whatsoever the right or power of the Company, or a parent or subsidiary of the Company, to terminate Purchaser’s employment or consulting relationship, for any reason, with or without Cause.

8. Tax Consequences . Purchaser should obtain advice from an appropriate independent professional adviser with respect to the taxation implications of the grant, issuance, purchase, retention, assignment, release, cancellation, sale or any other disposal of the Shares (each, a “ Trigger Event ”). Participant should also take advice in respect of the taxation indemnity provisions under Section 9 below.

 

  9. Purchaser’s Taxation Indemnity .

(a) To the extent permitted by law, Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company and the Company as trustee for and on behalf of any affiliate entity, in respect of any liability or obligation of the Company and/or any affiliate entity to account for income tax or any other taxation provisions under the laws of Purchaser’s country or citizenship and/or residence to the extent arising from a Trigger Event.

(b) The Company shall not be obliged to allot and issue any of the Shares or any interest in the Shares unless and until Purchaser has paid to the Company such sum as is, in the opinion of the Company, sufficient to indemnify the Company in full against any liability the Company has for any amount of, or representing, income tax or any other tax arising from a Trigger Event (the “ Shares Tax Liability ”), or Purchaser has made such other arrangement as in the opinion of the Company will ensure that the full amount of any Shares Tax Liability will be recovered from Purchaser within such period as the Company may then determine.

 

  10. Data Protection .

(a) To facilitate the administration of the Plan and this Agreement, it will be necessary for the Company (or its payroll administrators) to collect, hold and process certain personal information about Purchaser and to transfer this data to certain third parties such as brokers with whom Purchaser may elect to deposit any share capital under the Plan. Purchaser consents to the Company (or its payroll administrators) collecting, holding and processing Purchaser’s personal data and transferring this data to the Company or any other third parties insofar as is reasonably necessary to implement, administer and manage the Plan.

(b) Purchaser understands that Purchaser may, at any time, view Purchaser’s personal data, require any necessary corrections to it or withdraw the consents herein in writing by contacting the Company, but acknowledges that without the use of such data it may not be practicable for the Company to administer Purchaser’s involvement in the Plan in a timely fashion or at all and this may be detrimental to Purchaser.

  11. Miscellaneous .

(a) Governing Law . This Agreement and all acts and transactions pursuant hereto and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed, construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware , without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law.

This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter herein and merges all prior discussions between them.

The failure by either party to enforce any rights under this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any rights of such party.

(c) Severability . If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, the parties agree to renegotiate such provision in good faith. In the event that the parties cannot reach a mutually agreeable and enforceable replacement for such provision, then (i) such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement, (ii) the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and (iii) the balance of the Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

(iv) If an Incentive Stock Option is granted to an employee who owns, at the Date of Grant, more than 10 percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or an Affiliate, then (A) the option price of the shares subject to the Incentive Stock Option shall be at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Company Stock at the Date of Grant and (B) such Incentive Stock Option shall not be exercisable after the expiration of 5 years from the Date of Grant.

(d) The holder of any Option granted under the Plan shall have none of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the shares covered by the Option until such stock shall be transferred to the holder upon the exercise of the Option.

6.  Grants to Outside Directors . Awards, other than Incentive Stock Options, may be made to Outside Directors.

7.  Stock Appreciation Rights . Concurrently with the award of any Option to purchase one or more shares of Common Stock, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, award to the optionee with respect to each share of Common Stock covered by an Option a related Stock Appreciation Right, which permits the optionee to be paid the appreciation on the related Option in lieu of exercising the Option.

(a) A Stock Appreciation Right granted with respect to an Incentive Stock Option must be granted together with the related Option. A Stock Appreciation Right granted with respect to a Nonqualified Stock Option may be granted together with the grant of the related Option.

(b) A Stock Appreciation Right shall entitle the Participant, upon exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right, to receive in exchange an amount equal to the excess of (i) the Fair Market Value on the date of exercise of Company Stock covered by the surrendered Stock Appreciation Right over (ii) the Fair Market Value of Company Stock on the Date of Grant of the Stock Appreciation Right. The Committee may limit the amount that the Participant will be entitled to receive upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right.

(c) A Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised only if and to the extent the underlying Option is exercisable, and a Stock Appreciation Right may not be exercisable in any event more than 10 years after the Date of Grant.

(d) A Stock Appreciation Right may only be exercised at a time when the Fair Market Value of Company Stock covered by the Stock Appreciation Right exceeds the Fair Market Value of Company Stock on the Date of Grant of the Stock Appreciation Right. The Stock Appreciation Right may provide for payment in Company Stock or cash, or a fixed combination of Company Stock and cash, or the Committee may reserve the right to determine the manner of payment at the time the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised.

(e) To the extent a Stock Appreciation Right is exercised, the underlying Option shall be cancelled, and the shares of Company Stock represented by the Option shall no longer be available for Awards under the Plan.

 

8. Restricted Stock Awards .

(b) Restricted Stock may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise encumbered or disposed of until the restrictions have lapsed or been removed. Certificates representing Restricted Stock shall be held by the Company until the restrictions lapse, and the Participant shall provide the Company with appropriate stock powers endorsed in blank.

 

9. Method of Exercise of Options .

(a) Options may be exercised by the Participant (or his or her legal guardian or personal representative) by giving written notice of the exercise to the Company at its principal office (attention of the Corporate Secretary) pursuant to procedures established by the Company. The notice shall state the number of shares the Participant has elected to purchase under the Option. Such notice shall be accompanied, or followed within 10 days of delivery thereof, by payment of the full exercise price of such shares. The exercise price may be paid in cash by means of a check payable to the order of the Company or, if the terms of an Option permit, (i) by delivery or attestation of Mature Shares (valued at their Fair Market Value) in satisfaction of all or any part of the exercise price, (ii) by delivery of a properly executed exercise notice with irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver to the Company the amount necessary to pay the exercise price from the sale or proceeds of a loan from the broker with respect to the sale of Company Stock or a broker loan secured by the Company Stock, (iii) by such other consideration as may be approved by the Committee from time to time to the extent permitted by applicable law, or (iv) by any combination of (i) through (iii) hereof.

(b) Unless prior to the exercise of the Option the shares issuable upon such exercise have been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, the notice of exercise shall be accompanied by a representation or agreement of the individual or entity exercising the Option to the Company to the effect that such shares are being acquired for investment purposes and not with a view to the distribution thereof, and such other documentation as may be required by the Company, unless in the opinion of counsel to the Company such representation, agreement or documentation is not necessary to comply with any such act.

(c) The Company shall not be obligated to deliver any Company Stock until the shares have been listed on each securities exchange or market on which the Company Stock may then be listed or until there has been qualification under or compliance with such federal or state laws, rules or regulations as the Company may deem applicable. The Company shall use reasonable efforts to obtain such listing, qualification and compliance.

10.  Tax Withholding . Each Participant shall agree as a condition of receiving an Award payable in the form of Company Stock to pay to the Employer, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Employer regarding the payment to the Employer of, Applicable Withholding Taxes. Under procedures established by the Committee or its delegate, a Participant may elect to satisfy Applicable Withholding Taxes by (i) making a cash payment or authorizing additional withholding from cash compensation, (ii) delivering Mature Shares (valued at their Fair Market Value), or (iii) if the applicable Stock Option Agreement or Restricted Stock Agreement permits, having the Company retain that number of shares of Company Stock (valued at their Fair Market Value) that would satisfy all or a specified portion of the Applicable Withholding Taxes.

11.  Transferability of Awards . Awards shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.


12. Administration of the Plan .

(a) The Committee shall administer the Plan. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan, the Committee shall have general authority to impose any term, limitation, or condition upon an Award that the Committee deems appropriate to achieve the objectives of the Award and of the Plan. The Committee may adopt rules and regulations for carrying out the Plan with respect to Participants and Beneficiaries. The interpretation and construction of any provision of the Plan by the Committee shall be final and conclusive as to any Participant or Beneficiary.

(b) The Committee shall have the power to amend the terms and conditions of previously granted Awards so long as the terms as amended are consistent with the terms of the Plan and provided that the consent of the Participant is obtained with respect to any amendment that would be detrimental to him or her, except that such consent will not be required if such amendment is for the purpose of complying with Rule 16b-3 or any requirement of the Code or of other securities laws applicable to the Award.

(c) The Committee shall have the power and complete discretion (i) to delegate to any individual, or to any group of individuals employed by the Company or any Affiliate, the authority to grant Awards under the Plan and (ii) to determine the terms and limitations of any delegation of authority; provided, however, that the Committee may not delegate power and discretion to the extent such action would cause noncompliance with, or the imposition of penalties, excise taxes, or other sanctions under, applicable corporate law, Rule 16b-3, Code Section 162(m) or 409A, or any other applicable securities or tax law.

(d) The Committee shall have the power to include one or more provisions in the terms of Award grants to provide for the cancellation of an outstanding Award in the event the Participant violates any agreement or other obligation dealing with non-competition, non-solicitation or protection of the Company’s confidential information.

 

13. Change in Capital Structure; Change of Control .

(a) Change in Capital Structure. In the event of a stock dividend, stock split, or combination of shares, share exchange, share distribution, recapitalization or merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation, a spin-off or split-off of a subsidiary or Affiliate, or other change in the Company’s capital stock (including, but not limited to, the creation or issuance to shareholders generally of rights, options, or warrants for the purchase of common stock or preferred stock of the Company) subsequent to July 31, 2008, the aggregate number and kind of shares of stock or securities of the Company to be subject to the Plan and to Awards then outstanding or to be granted, the maximum number of shares or securities which may be delivered under the Plan under Sections 3(a), 3(b), or 8, the per share exercise price of Options, the terms of Awards, and other relevant provisions shall be proportionately and appropriately adjusted by the Committee in its discretion, and the determination of the Committee shall be binding on all persons. If the adjustment would produce fractional shares with respect to any unexercised Option, the Committee may adjust appropriately and in a nondiscriminatory manner the number of shares covered by the Option so as to eliminate the fractional shares.

(b) Effect of Change in Control on Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. Subject to the terms of any Employment Agreement, the Committee may provide in an Award agreement for, or in the event of a Change in Control may take such actions as it deems appropriate to provide for, any one or more of the following:

(i) Accelerated Vesting. The Committee may provide for the acceleration of the exercisability and vesting in connection with a Change in Control of any or all outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights and shares acquired upon the exercise thereof upon such conditions, including termination of the Participant’s service prior to, upon, or following such Change in Control, and to such extent as the Committee shall determine.


 

(ii) Assumption or Substitution. In the event of a Change in Control, the surviving, continuing, successor, or purchasing entity or parent thereof, as the case may be (the “Acquiror”), may, without the consent of any Participant, either assume or continue the Company’s rights and obligations under any or all outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights or substitute for any or all outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights substantially equivalent options and stock appreciation rights (as the case may be) for the Acquiror’s stock. Any Options or Stock Appreciation Rights which are neither assumed or continued by the Acquiror in connection with the Change in Control nor exercised as of the time of consummation of the Change in Control shall terminate and cease to be outstanding effective as of the time of consummation of the Change in Control.

(iii) Cash-Out. The Committee may, in its sole discretion and without the consent of any Participant, determine that, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, each or any Option or Stock Appreciation Right outstanding immediately prior to the Change in Control shall be canceled in exchange for a payment with respect to each vested share (and each unvested share, if so determined by the Committee) of Company Stock subject to such canceled Option or Stock Appreciation Right in (i) cash, (ii) stock of the Company or of a corporation or other business entity a party to the Change in Control, or (iii) other property which, in any such case, shall be in an amount having a Fair Market Value equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the consideration to be paid per share of Company Stock in the Change in Control over the exercise price per share under such Option or Stock Appreciation Right (the “Spread”). In the event such determination is made by the Committee, the Spread (reduced by applicable withholding taxes, if any) shall be paid to Participants in respect of the vested portion (and unvested portion, if so determined by the Committee) of their canceled Options and Stock Appreciation Rights as soon as practicable following the date of the Change in Control.

(iv) Effect of Change in Control on Restricted Stock Awards. The Committee may provide for the acceleration of the vesting of the shares subject to the Restricted Stock Award upon such conditions, including termination of the Participant’s services to the Company prior to, upon, or following such Change in Control, and to such extent as the Committee shall determine.

14.  Effective Date . The effective date of the Plan is April 22, 2008. The Plan shall be submitted to the shareholders of the Company for approval. Until (i) the Plan has been approved by the Company’s shareholders, and (ii) the requirements of any applicable federal or state securities laws have been met, no Restricted Stock shall be awarded, and no Option shall be granted or exercisable, that is not contingent on these events.

15.  Termination, Modification . If not sooner terminated by the Board, this Plan shall terminate at the close of business on April 21, 2018. No Awards shall be made under the Plan after its termination. The Board may amend or terminate the Plan as it shall deem advisable; provided, however, that no change shall be made that increases the total number of shares of Company Stock reserved for issuance pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan (except pursuant to Section 13), or reduces the minimum exercise price for Options, or exchanges an Option for another Award, unless such change is authorized by the shareholders of the Company. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, a termination or amendment of the Plan shall not, without the consent of the Participant, adversely affect a Participant’s rights under an Award previously granted to him or her.

 

16. American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 .

(a) It is intended that the Plan comply in all applicable respects with Code Sections 409A(a)(2) through (4), as it may be amended from time to time, and any rulings, regulations, or other guidelines promulgated under either or both statutes (such statutes, rulings, regulations and other guidelines to be referred to collectively herein as “Section 409A”). This Plan, and any amendments thereto, shall therefore be interpreted and implemented at all times so as to (i) ensure compliance with Section 409A and (ii) avoid any penalty or early taxation of any payment or benefit under the Plan.


 

(b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Board shall approve and implement such amendments as it deems necessary or desirable to ensure compliance with Section 409A and to avoid any penalty or early taxation of any payment or benefit under this Plan; provided, however, that no change shall be made that increases the total number of shares of Company Stock reserved for issuance pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan (except pursuant to Section 14), or reduces the minimum exercise price for Options, or exchanges an Option for another Award, unless such change is authorized by the shareholders of the Company. No such amendment shall require the consent of any Participant.

17.  Interpretation and Venue . Except to the extent preempted by applicable federal law, the terms of this Plan shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to its conflict of laws rules.

To the extent necessary to effect the foregoing provisions, the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing such assets shall assume by written instrument reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder executed and mailed or delivered to the registered Holder hereof at the last address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company, the obligation to deliver to such Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such Holder may be entitled to purchase. If there is an Organic Change, then the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear on the books and records of the Company, at least 10 calendar days before the effective date of the Organic Change, a notice stating the date on which such Organic Change is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares for securities, cash, or other property delivered upon such Organic Change; provided , 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. The Holder is entitled to exercise this Warrant during the 10-day period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice. In any event, the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing such assets shall be deemed to assume such obligation to deliver to such Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets even in the absence of a written instrument assuming such obligation to the extent such assumption occurs by operation of law.

(b) Certificate as to Adjustments . Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment pursuant to this Section 3, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each Holder of this Warrant a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall promptly furnish or cause to be furnished to such Holder a like certificate setting forth: (i) such adjustments and readjustments; and (ii) the number of shares and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the exercise of the Warrant.

(c) Certain Events . If any event occurs as to which the other provisions of this Section 3 are not strictly applicable but the lack of any adjustment would not fairly protect the purchase rights of the Holder under this Warrant in accordance with the basic intent and principles of such provisions, or if strictly applicable would not fairly protect the purchase rights of the Holder under this Warrant in accordance with the basic intent and principles of such provisions, then the Company’s Board of Directors will, in good faith and subject to applicable law, make an appropriate adjustment to protect the rights of the Holder; provided , that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 3(c) will increase the Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Shares as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 3.

SINGLE TOUCH SYSTEMS, INC.

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

 

August 17, 2009    Encinitas, California

For value received, Single Touch Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), hereby promises to pay to Ted Cooper, (“ Lender ”), the principal amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) with simple interest thereon at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum on the unpaid balance of the principal sum. The Company shall make payment at such place as the Lender indicates. All principal and interest shall be payable, as provided for herein, in immediately available funds in lawful money of the United States of America. The principal amount of this convertible promissory note (the “ Note ”) is convertible into common stock (the “ Common Stock ”) of the Company as more fully set forth herein.

1. Estimated Use of Proceeds.

The Company shall use the proceeds from this Note for general working capital needs.

2. Maturity Date; Prepayment.

The Note shall mature on November 31, 2009 (the “ Maturity Date ”), or such later date as agreed to in writing by Lender. Commencing on August 17, 2009, and provided the Lender consents in writing, the Company may, at any time, prepay the outstanding principal and accrued interest evidenced by this Note, in whole or in part, without penalty or premium, by paying to Lender, by check in immediately available federal funds, the amount of such prepayment, from the proceeds of the Company’s next round of financing. If any such prepayment is less than a full repayment, then such prepayment shall be applied first to the payment of accrued interest and the remaining balance shall be applied to the payment of principal.


 

4. Interest Payments.

Simple interest shall accrue on the Note at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum. Annual interest payments shall be made to Lender by 5:00 p.m. PDT on September 17, 2009 and October 17, 2009 (and on a quarterly basis thereafter, assuming the Lender agrees, in writing, to extend the term of the Note beyond the Maturity Date) via check at the address listed in the subscription agreement attached hereto as Appendix A. All payments (including prepayments) hereunder are to be applied first to the payment of accrued interest and the remaining balance shall be applied to the payment of principal. Accrued interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year, based on the actual number of days elapsed.

5. Voluntary Conversion.

5.1. The outstanding principal on this Note may, at the sole discretion of the Lender, be converted (in full or in part, at any time) into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company at the rate of $0.95 per share (the “ Conversion Rate ”); provided, however, in the event the Company undertakes an Additional Financing (as defined in section 5.2 below), and the Additional Financing is undertaken at a price per share less than $0.95, then the Conversion Rate shall be subject to a full ratchet and reset at the price per share of the Additional Financing (the “ Reset Conversion Rate ”).

5.2. The Company shall promptly provide Lender written notice if the Company closes a financing (the “ Additional Financing ”) in the future involving the issuance of equity or the issuance of convertible debt securities (the “ Additional Securities ”). An Additional Financing shall not include the issuance of Common Stock under the Company’s stock option and incentive plan or otherwise to employees, consultants, advisors, or others for purposes other than financing the Company’s operations.

6. Mechanics of Conversion.

Commencing on the date of issuance, the Lender may at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. PDT on the Maturity Date, convert the principal amount of this Note, or any portion thereof, into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company at the Conversion Rate, or the Reset Conversion Rate, as applicable. Such conversion shall be effected by the surrender of this Note at the principal office of the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as may be designated from time to time by written notice to the Lender) at any time during usual business hours, together with notice in writing that the Lender wishes to convert all, or a portion, of the principal amount of this Note, which notice shall also state the name(s) (with addresses) and denominations in which the certificate(s) for Common Stock shall be issued and shall include instructions for delivery thereof. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been effected as of the close of business on the date on which this Note shall have been surrendered and such notice shall have been received, and at such time (the “ Conversion Date ”) the rights of the Lender with respect to the principal amount of the Note converted shall cease and the person(s) in whose name(s) any certificate(s) for Common Stock are to be issued upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the Lender or Lenders of record of the shares of Common Stock represented by such certificate(s). No fractional shares of common stock shall


be issued to Lender upon the conversion of the Note. The Company shall round up all note conversion calculations to the nearest whole share. As soon as practicable (but in no event more than twenty (20) calendar days following the Conversion Date), the Company shall deliver to the Lender, certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion registered in such name or names and such denomination or denominations as the Lender shall have specified. The Company shall also make payment to the Lender, in the form of cash, all accrued and outstanding interest due and payable as of the Conversion Date, calculated in the manner set forth in Section 4 hereof. In each case of conversion of this Note in part, the Company shall receive and hold this Note as a fiduciary agent of the Lender, and shall reissue the Note as of the Conversion Date in the amount represented by the remaining principal outstanding. Upon issuance of the new note, the original note shall be deemed null and void and of no legal effect.

7. Default.

The Company shall be deemed in default if any of the following events occur: (a) the Company fails to pay all outstanding principal and accrued interest relating to the Note by the Maturity Date; (b) the entry of a decree or order by a court having appropriate jurisdiction adjudging the Company a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization or liquidation of Company under the Federal Bankruptcy Act or any other applicable federal or state law, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee or trustee over any substantial portion of Company’s property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the Company’s affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of sixty (60) consecutive days; (c) the institution by the Company of proceedings to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it, or the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under the Federal Bankruptcy Act or any other applicable federal or state law, or the consent by it to the filing of any such petition or to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee or trustee of Company; (d) default in the obligation of the Company for borrowed money, other than this Note, which shall continue for a period of sixty (60) days, or any event that results in acceleration of the maturity of any indebtedness of the Company under any note, indenture, contract, or agreement; (e) any representation or statement made or furnished to Lender by the Company or on the Company’s behalf is false or misleading in any material respect; or (f) any levy, seizure, attachment, lien, or encumbrance of or on the Company’s property, other than those existing as of the date hereof, which is not discharged by the Company within 20 days.

7.1 Cure.

The Company shall be provided a period of five (5) calendar days from the date of an event of default, as defined in Section 8 above, to cure a default. In the event Company fails to cure any default within such time period, including the payment of all costs and expenses provided for in this Note, Lender may immediately enforce any and all rights provided under this Note.

7.2. Events of Default; Consequences. In the event of the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in Section 8 above) the Lender may declare the entire unpaid principal balance of this Note, together with accrued interest, immediately due and payable at the place of payment, without presentment, protest, notice or demand, all of which are expressly waived by the Company.


 

7.3. No Setoff, Etc. The obligations of the Company to pay the principal balance and interest due to the Lender shall be absolute and unconditional and the Company shall make such payment without abatement, diminution or deduction regardless of any cause or circumstances whatsoever including, without limitation, any defense, setoff, recoupment, or counterclaim which the Company may have or assert against the Lender or any other person.

7.4. Waiver of Presentment, Etc. The Company waives presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest and notice of nonpayment and protest.

7.5. Costs of Collection. The Company shall pay all costs and expenses of collection incurred by the Lender, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

8. Anti-Dilution Provisions.

The Conversion Rate, or the Reset Conversion Rate as the case may be, shall be subject to appropriate adjustment so as to protect the rights of Lender upon the occurrence on or after the issuance of the Note of any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, reclassification, merger, combination, consolidation or other similar transaction. Upon each occurrence of any event described in the immediately preceding sentence, the Conversion Rate, or the Reset Conversion Rate as the case may be, in effect immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted (and any other appropriate actions shall be taken by the Company, including, upon the occurrence of any merger, combination, consolidation or other similar transaction, the issuance to Lender of any securities into which this Note shall be converted by operation of law or pursuant to the express terms of such transaction provided that such transaction has been approved by the board of directors of the Company), so that Lender, upon any conversion of the Note, shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other property, including cash or securities, that Lender would have owned or would have been entitled to receive upon or by reason of any of the events described above, had this Note been converted immediately prior to the date of such event, or if such event has a record date, then the record date applicable to such event. An adjustment made pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall become effective retroactively to the close of business on the day upon which such event is effected.

9. No Voting Rights. Nothing contained in this Note shall be construed as conferring upon the Lender the right to vote or to consent or to receive notice as a stockholder in respect of the meetings of stockholders for the election of directors of the Company or any other matter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall mail by first class to the Lender at the address specified in Appendix A hereto, one copy of all materials forwarded to stockholders or filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Company, if applicable, said mailing to be made promptly after mailing to stockholders or filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be.


 

10. Transfer Procedure.

This Note is not transferable without the written consent of the Company, which the Company may withhold in its absolute discretion, and is generally restricted by the Act. The transfer of this Note is registrable by Lender in person or by an attorney duly authorized in writing on the books of the Company. Upon surrender and cancellation of this Note upon any such transfer, the Company shall issue a new note for the same aggregate principal amount to the transferee. The Company and any transfer agent may deem and treat the person in whose name this Note is registered upon the books of the Company as the absolute owner of this Note (whether or not this Note is overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon) for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor any transfer agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All payments to the registered owner shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability on this Note to the extent of the sum so paid.

Lender has reviewed this Note, the following risk factors, the estimated use of proceeds attached hereto as Appendix C, the audited and internally prepared financial statements attached hereto as Appendix D and the executive summary attached hereto as Appendix E.

12.1.1 Risk Factors.

The following risk factors should be reviewed in detail prior to making an investment decision regarding the Note.

AN INVESTMENT IN THE NOTED INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. THE

FOLLOWING FACTORS SHOULD BE CAREFULLY CONSIDERED PRIOR TO

MAKING AN INVESTMENT IN THE NOTE.

Risk Factors Related To Our Business

The Company has a limited operating history and has experienced operating losses since its inception

Since its inception, the Company has realized several million dollars in operating losses. The Company is a development stage entity and is in the process of fully implementing its planned principal operations. The Company’s continued operations are dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient revenues from operations and obtain further financing, including the sale of the Notes. If the Company is unable to generate sufficient revenues and obtain sufficient financing from the sale of the Notes, its current business plans could fail and its financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

The Company’s capitalization is limited and it may need additional funds beyond the sale of Notes

A limiting factor on the growth of the Company, including its ability to penetrate new markets, attract new customers and deliver new products in a timely matter, is the limited capitalization of the Company compared to other companies in the industry. The Company believes that currently available capital resources, including the net proceeds from the sale of Notes, assuming $3,000,000 is received, will be adequate to fund its operations and business objectives for 12 months. There can be no assurance, however, that the net proceeds from this Offering will provide sufficient funds for the Company to achieve all of its proposed objectives or that the Company will not require additional financing. In addition, there can be no assurance that the maximum offering amount of $5,000,000 will be realized. If additional funding in the form of


equity or convertible debt is not available on reasonable terms, the Company may not achieve its revenue and profit objectives. Delays in meeting the anticipated funding schedule may affect the ability of the Company to fully implement its business plan. Further, if additional funds are procured through the issuance of additional equity or convertible debt securities, investors in the Notes will experience dilution.

The Company is extremely dependent on its President and Chief Executive Officer, Anthony Macaluso, as well as other members of its executive management team

The Company’s future performance will be substantially dependent on the continued services of Mr. Macaluso and on the performance of other senior management and key personnel. The Company’s performance also depends on its ability to attract, retain and motivate additional management and key employees. The loss of the services of Mr. Macaluso or any other key personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company faces competition from companies that have substantially greater capital and marketing resources than the Company

While the Company believes that it is a pioneer in its sector, and that there are very few companies, if any, who offer the broad applications of the Company’s products, potential competitors for the Company include companies with generally longer operating histories, greater name recognition, larger customer bases and significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than the Company. Such competition could materially adversely affect the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition. As a result, the Company will be competing for customers with other companies offering similar or alternative products and services that may have greater name recognition, more proprietary products, and a larger existing customer base.

The Company’s revenues are difficult to predict given that a large percentage of the Company’s future revenues will come from emerging markets

It is not feasible to predict with assurance the timing or the amount of revenues that the Company will receive from the sale, or license, of its products. Any substantial delay in the introduction of products could result in significant delays in revenues, the need to raise additional capital through the issuance of additional equity or debt securities sooner than the Company intends, and may allow competitors to reach certain of such markets with products before the Company. In view of the emerging nature of the technology involved in certain of these markets, and the attendant uncertainty as to whether the Company’s products will achieve meaningful commercial acceptance, if at all, there can be no assurance that the Company will realize revenues sufficient to achieve profitability.


 

If the Company fails to obtain strategic partnerships with key players in need of its products, the Company’s results of operation will be adversely affected

If the Company is unsuccessful in creating strategic partnerships with large companies in its sector, the amount of revenues realizable will not be significant and the Company’s overall business, financial condition and results of operations will be materially adversely affected.

Although the Company has entered into confidentiality and non-compete agreements with its key employees and consultants, if it is unable to protect its proprietary information against unauthorized use by others, its competitive position could be harmed

The Company’s proprietary information is critically important to its competitive position and is a significant aspect of the products it provides. If the Company is unable to protect its proprietary information against unauthorized use by others, its competitive position could be harmed. The Company generally enters into confidentiality and non-compete agreements with its employees and consultants, and controls access to, and distribution of, its documentation and other proprietary information. Despite these precautions, the Company cannot assure you that these strategies will be adequate to prevent misappropriation of its proprietary information in all cases. Therefore, the Company could be required to expend significant amounts to defend its rights to proprietary information in the future if a breach were to occur.

An investor who acquires Notes will immediately incur significant dilution in the book value of our Common Stock

Because the current book value per share of the Company’s Common Stock is significantly lower than the Conversion Rate of the Notes, current stockholders of the Company will receive an immediate increase in net book value per share and the Lender will experience immediate dilution in book value per share.

The Company anticipates issuing additional stock options to employees and consultants in the future

The Company has adopted a stock option and incentive plan for its employees, officers, directors and key consultants. Because stock options granted under the plan will generally only be exercised when the exercise price for such option is below the then market value of the Common Stock, the exercise of such options will cause dilution to the book value per share of the Company’s Common Stock.

The Company does not presently intend to pay dividends on its Common Stock in the foreseeable future

The Company’s future earnings will be reinvested and used for working capital purposes. Thus, upon the conversion of the Note, the Lender should not expect to receive dividends on the shares of Common Stock issued in conjunction therewith.


 

Risk Factors Relating to the Offering

There is limited liquidity in the Notes

The Notes may only be resold if registered under the Act, or pursuant to an exemption from registration thereunder, including Rule 144. Rule 144 is only available if there is a public market for the Company’s securities and the public availability of current information regarding the Company. Transfer of the Notes may also be restricted by state “blue sky” securities laws. As a result, investors should be aware that in the absence of registration of the Notes with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof, or the availability of an exemption from registration, the Notes and the shares of Common Stock underlying the Notes, must be held by the purchasers thereof for an indefinite period of time.

Following a fully subscribed offering of $5,000,000, our executive officers and members of our board of directors will beneficially own more than 40% of the issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock and could limit the ability of our other stockholders to influence the outcome of director elections and other transactions submitted to a vote of stockholders

Immediately following the offering, and assuming we realize $5,000,000 from the sale of the Notes, the executive officers and board of directors will beneficially own more than 40% of the issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock. These stockholders will have the power to influence all matters requiring approval by our stockholders, including the election of directors and approval of mergers and other significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company.

13. No Recourse Against Individuals.

Lender shall have no recourse for the repayment of the principal of, or interest on, this Note against any past, present, or future incorporator, stockholder, officer, director, employee, agent, or attorney of the Company in the absence of an express written agreement with such person to the contrary.

14. Governing Law and Venue.

This Note is delivered in and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to any rules that would apply the law of another jurisdiction. Venue shall lie exclusively in Delaware. The parties agree that their respective obligations are to be performed in Delaware.

15. Notices.

Any notice pursuant to this Note to be given or made by the Lender to or upon the Company shall be sufficiently made if sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, addressed (until another address is sent by the Company to the Lender) as follows:

Single Touch Interactive, Inc.

2235 Encinitas Blvd.

Suite 228

Encinitas, CA 92024


 

16. Register of Notes. The Company shall keep at its principal office (or such other place the Company reasonably designates) a register for the Notes. Each transfer of the Notes (if permitted), conversion thereof into Common Stock and payment thereunder as well as the name and address of the Lender shall be noted on the register of Notes. The register shall be made available by the Company for review by the Lender or his agent during usual business hours of the Company.

17. Modification and Waiver. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Note shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing signed by the Lender and then such modification or waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance for the specific purpose given.

18. Counterparts. This Note may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original against any Party whose signature appears thereon, and all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. This Note shall become binding when one or more counterparts hereof, individually or taken together, shall bear the signatures of all of the Parties reflected hereon as the signatories.

19. Other.

19.1 Registration Rights.

19.1 Inclusion of Registrable Securities. If (but without any obligation to do so) the Company proposes to register (including for this purpose a registration effected by the Company for stockholders other than the Lenders) any of its stock or other securities under the Act in connection with a public offering of such securities solely for cash, the Company shall, at such time, promptly give Lender written notice of such registration. Upon the written request of Lender within twenty (20) days following mailing of such notice by the Company, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 20.2.2, cause to be registered under the Act all of the shares of Common Stock issuable to Lender upon the conversion of the Note (the “ Registrable Securities ”) that Lender requests, in writing, to be registered.

19.2 Underwriting Requirements. In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of Common Stock, the Company shall not be required under this Section 20.2.2 to include any of the Lender’s Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note unless they accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by it (or by other persons entitled to select the underwriters), and then only in such quantity as the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company. If the underwriters, in their sole discretion, determine and advise


in writing the Company and the Lenders of the Registrable Securities requesting participation in such registration that in their good faith judgment the number of shares of Registrable Securities and the other securities requested to be registered under this Section 20.2.2 exceeds the maximum amount of Common Stock which can be marketed (giving first priority to Common Stock to be issued by the Company in such underwriting, but giving priority to the shares requested to be included in the offering pursuant to this Section 20.2.2 over all other shares proposed to be included therein), then the Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of shares of Common Stock, including Registrable Securities, which the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering and the securities so included shall be apportioned pro rata among the participating Lender according to the total amount of securities entitled to be included therein owned by each participating Lender. For purposes of such apportionment, for any participating Lender that is a partnership or corporation, the partners, retired partners and stockholders of such Lender, or the estates and family members of any such partners and retired partners and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing persons shall be deemed to be a single participating Lender, and any pro-rata reduction with respect to such participating Lender shall be based upon the aggregate amount of shares of Common Stock carrying registration rights owned by all persons included in such participating Lender.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this Note as of the date first written above.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the Purchase Date (as defined below) the Company will issue and sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser agrees to purchase from the Company, Six Hundred Twenty Five Thousand (625,000) shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “ Shares ”) at a purchase price of $0.80 per share for a total purchase price of $500,000. The term “ Shares ” refers to the purchased Shares and all securities received in replacement of or in connection with the Shares pursuant to stock dividends or splits, all securities received in replacement of the Shares in a recapitalization, merger, reorganization, exchange or the like, and all new, substituted or additional securities or other properties to which Purchaser is entitled by reason of Purchaser’s ownership of the Shares.

2. Purchase . The purchase and sale of the Shares under this Agreement shall occur at the principal office of the Company simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement by the parties or on such other date as the Company and Purchaser shall agree (the “ Purchase Date ”).

3. Investment and Taxation Representations . In connection with the purchase of the Shares, Purchaser represents to the Company the following:

(a) Purchaser is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Shares. Purchaser is purchasing the Shares for investment for its own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act.

(b) Purchaser understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption therefore, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Purchaser’s investment intent as expressed herein.


 

(c) Purchaser understands that the Shares are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, Purchaser must hold the Shares indefinitely unless they are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify the Shares for resale. Purchaser further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Shares, and requirements relating to the Company which are outside of the Purchaser’s control, and which the Company is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy.

(d) Purchaser understands that Purchaser may suffer adverse tax consequences as a result of Purchaser’s purchase or disposition of the Shares. Purchaser represents that Purchaser has consulted any tax consultants Purchaser deems advisable in connection with the purchase or disposition of the Shares and that Purchaser is not relying on the Company for any tax advice.

4. Restrictive Legends .

(a) Legends . The certificate or certificates representing the Shares shall bear the following legend (as well as any legends required by applicable state and federal corporate and securities laws):

 

  (i) THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. NO SUCH SALE OR DISTRIBUTION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN A FORM SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.

 

  (ii) Any legend required to be placed thereon by the California Commissioner of Corporations.

5. Miscellaneous .

(a) Governing Law . This Agreement and all acts and transactions pursuant hereto and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed, construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law.

(b) Entire Agreement; Enforcement of Rights . This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter herein and merges all prior discussions between them. No modification of or amendment to this Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights under this Agreement, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the parties to this Agreement. The failure by either party to enforce any rights under this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any rights of such party.

(c) Severability . If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, the parties agree to renegotiate such provision in good faith. In the event that the parties cannot reach a mutually agreeable and enforceable replacement for such provision, then (i) such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement, (ii) the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and (iii) the balance of the Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

(h) California Corporate Securities Law . THE SALE OF THE SECURITIES WHICH ARE THE SUBJECT OF THIS AGREEMENT HAS NOT BEEN QUALIFIED WITH THE COMMISSIONER OF CORPORATIONS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND THE ISSUANCE OF THE SECURITIES OR THE PAYMENT OR RECEIPT OF ANY PART OF THE CONSIDERATION THEREFOR PRIOR TO THE QUALIFICATION IS UNLAWFUL, UNLESS THE SALE OF SECURITIES IS EXEMPT FROM QUALIFICATION BY SECTION 25100, 25102 OR 25105 OF THE CALIFORNIA CORPORATIONS CODE. THE RIGHTS OF ALL PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT ARE EXPRESSLY CONDITIONED UPON THE QUALIFICATION BEING OBTAINED, UNLESS THE SALE IS SO EXEMPT.

WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK

Single Touch Systems Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), for value received on September 23, 2009 (the “ Effective Date ”), hereby issues to Mike Robert (the “ Holder ”) this Warrant (the “ Warrant ”) to purchase, one million two hundred fifty thousand (1,250,000) shares (each such share as from time to time adjusted as hereinafter provided being a “ Warrant Share ” and all such shares being the “ Warrant Shares ”) of the Company’s Common Stock (as defined below), at the Exercise Price (as defined below), as adjusted from time to time as provided herein, on or before September 23, 2011 (the “ Expiration Date ”), all subject to the following terms and conditions.

As used in this Warrant, (i) “ Business Day ” means any day other than Saturday, Sunday or any other day on which commercial banks in the City of New York, New York, are authorized or required by law or executive order to close; (ii) “ Common Stock ” means the common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share, including any securities issued or issuable with respect thereto or into which or for which such shares may be exchanged for, or converted into, pursuant to any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, recapitalization, reclassification, reorganization or other similar event; (iii) “ Exercise Price” means $1.50 per share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment as provided herein; (iv) “ Trading Day ” means any day on which the Common Stock is traded on the primary national or regional stock exchange on which the Common Stock is listed, or if not so listed, the OTC Bulletin Board, if quoted thereon, is open for the transaction of business; and (v) “ Affiliate ” means any person that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, a person, as such terms are used and construed in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”).


 

1. DURATION AND EXERCISE OF WARRANTS

(a) Exercise Period . The Holder may exercise this Warrant in whole or in part on any Business Day on or before 5:00 P.M., Eastern Time, on the Expiration Date, at which time this Warrant shall become void and of no value.

(b) Exercise Procedures .

(i) While this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable in accordance with Section 1(a), in addition to the manner set forth in Section 1(b) below, the Holder may exercise this Warrant in whole or in part at any time and from time to time by:

(A) delivery to the Company of a duly completed and executed copy of the notice of exercise attached as Exhibit A (the “ Notice of Exercise ”);

(B) surrender of this Warrant to the Secretary of the Company at its principal offices or at such other office or agency as the Company may specify in writing to the Holder; and

 

     (C) payment of the then-applicable Exercise Price per share multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares being purchased upon exercise of the Warrant (such amount, the “ Aggregate Exercise Price ”) made in the form of cash, or by certified check, wire transfer, bank draft or money order payable in lawful money of the United States of America.    A
with:   X =    the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder   
  Y =    the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which the Warrant is being exercised   

(ii) Upon the exercise of this Warrant in compliance with the provisions of this Section 1(b), and except as limited pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 1(b), the Company shall promptly issue and cause to be delivered to the Holder a certificate for the Warrant Shares purchased by the Holder. Each exercise of this Warrant shall be effective immediately prior to the close of business on the date (the “ Date of Exercise ”) that the conditions set forth in Section 1(b) have been satisfied, as the case may be. On the first Business Day following the date on which the Company has received each of the Notice of Exercise and the Aggregate Exercise Price with Section 1(b) (the “ Exercise Delivery Document ”), the Company shall transmit an acknowledgment of receipt of the Exercise Delivery Documents to the Company’s transfer agent (the “ Transfer Agent ”). On or before the fifth Business Day following the date on which the Company has received all of the Exercise Delivery Documents (the “ Share Delivery Date ”), the Company shall (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“ DTC ”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, upon the request of the Holder, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system, or

 

2


(Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Notice of Exercise, a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise. Upon delivery of the Exercise Delivery Documents, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares. If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the actual number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon such an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than five (5) Business Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant of like tenor representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised.

(iii) If the Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason to issue to the Holder, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of the Exercise Delivery Documents, a certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or to credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for such number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise of this Warrant, and if on or after such Business Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a “ Buy-In ”), then the Company shall, within five (5) Business Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “ Buy-In Price ”), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such shares of Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) the closing bid price on the date of exercise.

(c) Partial Exercise . This Warrant shall be exercisable, either in its entirety or, from time to time, for part only of the number of Warrant Shares referenced by this Warrant. If this Warrant is exercised in part, the Company shall issue, at its expense, a new Warrant, in substantially the form of this Warrant, referencing such reduced number of Warrant Shares that remain subject to this Warrant.

(d) Disputes . In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 15.

 

2. ISSUANCE OF WARRANT SHARES

(a) The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares will, upon issuance in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, be (i) duly authorized, fully paid and non-assessable, and (ii) free from all liens, charges and security interests, with the exception of claims arising through the acts or omissions of any Holder and except as arising from applicable Federal and state securities laws.

 

3


 

(b) The Company shall register this Warrant upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose in the name of the record holder of such Warrant from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner thereof for the purpose of any exercise thereof, any distribution to the Holder thereof and for all other purposes.

(c) The Company will not, by amendment of its articles of incorporation, by-laws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the taking of all action necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder to exercise this Warrant, or against impairment of such rights.

(i) Dividends in Stock, Property, Reclassification . If at any time, or from time to time, the holders of Common Stock (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall have received or become entitled to receive, without payment therefore:

(A) any shares of stock or other securities that are at any time directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or any rights or options to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any of the foregoing by way of dividend or other distribution, or

(ii) Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale . If any recapitalization, reclassification or reorganization of the capital stock of the Company, or any consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets or other transaction shall be effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or other assets or property (an “ Organic Change ”), then lawful and adequate provisions shall be made by the Company whereby the Holder hereof shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive (in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant) such shares of stock, securities or other assets or property as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of outstanding shares of such Common Stock equal to the number of shares of such stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable assuming the full exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant. In the event of any Organic Change, appropriate provision shall be made by the Company with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder of this Warrant to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustments of the Exercise Price and of the number of shares purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall thereafter be applicable, in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the exercise hereof. To the extent necessary to effect the foregoing provisions, the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing such assets shall assume by written instrument reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder executed and mailed or delivered to the registered Holder hereof at the last address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company, the obligation to deliver to such Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such Holder may be entitled to purchase. If there is an Organic Change, then the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at its last

 

4


address as it shall appear on the books and records of the Company, at least 10 calendar days before the effective date of the Organic Change, a notice stating the date on which such Organic Change is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares for securities, cash, or other property delivered upon such Organic Change; provided, 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. The Holder is entitled to exercise this Warrant during the 10-day period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice. In any event, the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing such assets shall be deemed to assume such obligation to deliver to such Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets even in the absence of a written instrument assuming such obligation to the extent such assumption occurs by operation of law.

(d) Certificate as to Adjustments . Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment pursuant to this Section 3, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each Holder of this Warrant a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall promptly furnish or cause to be furnished to such Holder a like certificate setting forth: (i) such adjustments and readjustments; and (ii) the number of shares and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the exercise of the Warrant.

(e) Certain Events . If any event occurs as to which the other provisions of this Section 3 are not strictly applicable but the lack of any adjustment would not fairly protect the purchase rights of the Holder under this Warrant in accordance with the basic intent and principles of such provisions, or if strictly applicable would not fairly protect the purchase rights of the Holder under this Warrant in accordance with the basic intent and principles of such provisions, then the Company’s Board of Directors will, in good faith and subject to applicable law, make an appropriate adjustment to protect the rights of the Holder; provided , that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 3(c) will increase the Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Shares as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 3.

 

3. TRANSFERS AND EXCHANGES OF WARRANT AND WARRANT SHARES

(a) Registration of Transfers and Exchanges . Subject to Section 4(c), upon the Holder’s surrender of this Warrant, with a duly executed copy of the Form of Assignment attached as Exhibit B , to the Secretary of the Company at its principal offices or at such other office or agency as the Company may specify in writing to the Holder, the Company shall register the transfer of all or any portion of this Warrant. Upon such registration of transfer, the Company shall issue a new Warrant, in substantially the form of this Warrant, evidencing the acquisition rights transferred to the transferee and a new Warrant, in similar form, evidencing the remaining acquisition rights not transferred, to the Holder requesting the transfer.

(b) Warrant Exchangeable for Different Denominations . The Holder may exchange this Warrant for a new Warrant or Warrants, in substantially the form of this Warrant, evidencing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares, which may then be purchased hereunder, each of such new Warrants to be dated the date of such exchange and to represent the right to purchase such number of Warrant Shares as shall be designated by the Holder. The Holder shall surrender this Warrant with duly executed instructions regarding such re-certification of this Warrant to the Secretary of the Company at its principal offices or at such other office or agency as the Company may specify in writing to the Holder.

 

5


 

(c) Restrictions on Transfers . This Warrant may not be transferred at any time without (i) registration under the Securities Act or (ii) an exemption from such registration and a written opinion of legal counsel addressed to the Company that the proposed transfer of the Warrant may be effected without registration under the Securities Act, which opinion will be in form and from counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

(d) Permitted Transfers and Assignments . Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Section 4, the Holder may transfer, with or without consideration, this Warrant or any of the Warrant Shares (or a portion thereof) to the Holder’s Affiliates (as such term is defined under Rule 144 of the Securities Act) without obtaining the opinion from counsel that may be required by Section 4(c)(ii), provided, that the Holder delivers to the Company and its counsel certification, documentation, and other assurances reasonably required by the Company’s counsel to enable the Company’s counsel to render an opinion to the Company’s Transfer Agent that such transfer does not violate applicable securities laws.

 

4. MUTILATED OR MISSING WARRANT CERTIFICATE

Exhibit 10.15

Single Touch Systems, Inc.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “ Agreement ”) is made as of November 4, 2009, by and between Single Touch Systems, Inc. , a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), and Mike Robert, an investor (the “ Purchaser ”).

AGREEMENT

NOW THEREFORE, the undersigned agree as follows:

1. Sale of Stock . Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the Purchase Date (as defined below) the Company will issue and sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser agrees to purchase from the Company, One Million Five Hundred Thousand (1,500,000) shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “ Shares ”) at a purchase price of $0.30 per share for a total purchase price of $450,000. The term “ Shares ” refers to the purchased Shares and all securities received in replacement of or in connection with the Shares pursuant to stock dividends or splits, all securities received in replacement of the Shares in a recapitalization, merger, reorganization, exchange or the like, and all new, substituted or additional securities or other properties to which Purchaser is entitled by reason of Purchaser’s ownership of the Shares.

2. Purchase . The purchase and sale of the Shares under this Agreement shall occur at the principal office of the Company simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement by the parties or on such other date as the Company and Purchaser shall agree (the “ Purchase Date ”).

3. Investment and Taxation Representations . In connection with the purchase of the Shares, Purchaser represents to the Company the following:

(a) Purchaser is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Shares. Purchaser is purchasing the Shares for investment for its own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act.

(b) Purchaser understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption therefore, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Purchaser’s investment intent as expressed herein.


 

(c) Purchaser understands that the Shares are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, Purchaser must hold the Shares indefinitely unless they are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify the Shares for resale. Purchaser further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Shares, and requirements relating to the Company which are outside of the Purchaser’s control, and which the Company is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy.

(d) Purchaser understands that Purchaser may suffer adverse tax consequences as a result of Purchaser’s purchase or disposition of the Shares. Purchaser represents that Purchaser has consulted any tax consultants Purchaser deems advisable in connection with the purchase or disposition of the Shares and that Purchaser is not relying on the Company for any tax advice.

4. Restrictive Legends .

(a) Legends . The certificate or certificates representing the Shares shall bear the following legend (as well as any legends required by applicable state and federal corporate and securities laws):

 

  (i) THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. NO SUCH SALE OR DISTRIBUTION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN A FORM SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.

 

  (ii) Any legend required to be placed thereon by the California Commissioner of Corporations.

5. Miscellaneous .

(a) Governing Law . This Agreement and all acts and transactions pursuant hereto and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed, construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law.

 

-2-


 

(b) Entire Agreement; Enforcement of Rights . This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter herein and merges all prior discussions between them. No modification of or amendment to this Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights under this Agreement, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the parties to this Agreement. The failure by either party to enforce any rights under this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any rights of such party.

(c) Severability . If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, the parties agree to renegotiate such provision in good faith. In the event that the parties cannot reach a mutually agreeable and enforceable replacement for such provision, then (i) such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement, (ii) the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and (iii) the balance of the Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

(d) Construction . This Agreement is the result of negotiations between and has been reviewed by each of the parties hereto and their respective counsel, if any; accordingly, this Agreement shall be deemed to be the product of all of the parties hereto, and no ambiguity shall be construed in favor of or against any one of the parties hereto.

(e) Notices . Any notice required or permitted by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed sufficient when delivered personally or sent by fax or 48 hours after being deposited in the U.S. mail, as certified or registered mail, with postage prepaid, and addressed to the party to be notified at such party’s address or fax number as set forth below or as subsequently modified by written notice.

(f) Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one instrument.

(g) Successors and Assigns . The rights and benefits of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by the Company’s successors and assigns. The rights and obligations of Purchaser under this Agreement may only be assigned with the prior written consent of the Company.

(h) California Corporate Securities Law . THE SALE OF THE SECURITIES WHICH ARE THE SUBJECT OF THIS AGREEMENT HAS NOT BEEN QUALIFIED WITH THE COMMISSIONER OF CORPORATIONS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND THE ISSUANCE OF THE SECURITIES OR THE PAYMENT OR RECEIPT OF ANY PART OF THE CONSIDERATION THEREFOR PRIOR TO THE QUALIFICATION IS UNLAWFUL, UNLESS THE SALE OF SECURITIES IS EXEMPT FROM QUALIFICATION BY SECTION 25100, 25102 OR 25105 OF THE CALIFORNIA CORPORATIONS CODE. THE RIGHTS OF ALL PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT ARE EXPRESSLY CONDITIONED UPON THE QUALIFICATION BEING OBTAINED, UNLESS THE SALE IS SO EXEMPT.

WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK

Single Touch Systems Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), for value received on November 4, 2009 (the “ Effective Date ”), hereby issues to Mike Robert (the “ Holder ”) this Warrant (the “ Warrant ”) to purchase, one million five hundred thousand (1,500,000) shares (each such share as from time to time adjusted as hereinafter provided being a “ Warrant Share ” and all such shares being the “ Warrant Shares ”) of the Company’s Common Stock (as defined below), at the Exercise Price (as defined below), as adjusted from time to time as provided herein, on or before November 4, 2011 (the “ Expiration Date ”), all subject to the following terms and conditions.

As used in this Warrant, (i) “ Business Day ” means any day other than Saturday, Sunday or any other day on which commercial banks in the City of New York, New York, are authorized or required by law or executive order to close; (ii) “ Common Stock ” means the common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share, including any securities issued or issuable with respect thereto or into which or for which such shares may be exchanged for, or converted into, pursuant to any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, recapitalization, reclassification, reorganization or other similar event; (iii) “ Exercise Price” means $1.50 per share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment as provided herein; (iv) “ Trading Day ” means any day on which the Common Stock is traded on the primary national or regional stock exchange on which the Common Stock is listed, or if not so listed, the OTC Bulletin Board, if quoted thereon, is open for the transaction of business; and (v) “ Affiliate ” means any person that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, a person, as such terms are used and construed in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”).


 

1. DURATION AND EXERCISE OF WARRANTS

(a) Exercise Period . The Holder may exercise this Warrant in whole or in part on any Business Day on or before 5:00 P.M., Eastern Time, on the Expiration Date, at which time this Warrant shall become void and of no value.

(b) Exercise Procedures .

(i) While this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable in accordance with Section 1(a), in addition to the manner set forth in Section 1(b) below, the Holder may exercise this Warrant in whole or in part at any time and from time to time by:

(A) delivery to the Company of a duly completed and executed copy of the notice of exercise attached as Exhibit A (the “ Notice of Exercise ”);

(B) surrender of this Warrant to the Secretary of the Company at its principal offices or at such other office or agency as the Company may specify in writing to the Holder; and

 

     (C) payment of the then-applicable Exercise Price per share multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares being purchased upon exercise of the Warrant (such amount, the “ Aggregate Exercise Price ”) made in the form of cash, or by certified check, wire transfer, bank draft or money order payable in lawful money of the United States of America.    A
with:   X =    the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder   
  Y =    the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which the Warrant is being exercised   

(ii) Upon the exercise of this Warrant in compliance with the provisions of this Section 1(b), and except as limited pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 1(b), the Company shall promptly issue and cause to be delivered to the Holder a certificate for the Warrant Shares purchased by the Holder. Each exercise of this Warrant shall be effective immediately prior to the close of business on the date (the “ Date of Exercise ”) that the conditions set forth in Section 1(b) have been satisfied, as the case may be. On the first Business Day following the date on which the Company has received each of the Notice of Exercise and the Aggregate Exercise Price with Section 1(b) (the “ Exercise Delivery Document ”), the Company shall transmit an acknowledgment of receipt of the Exercise Delivery Documents to the Company’s transfer agent (the “ Transfer Agent ”). On or before the fifth Business Day following the date on which the Company has received all of the Exercise Delivery Documents (the “ Share Delivery Date ”), the Company shall (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“ DTC ”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, upon the request of the Holder, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system, or

 

2


(Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Notice of Exercise, a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise. Upon delivery of the Exercise Delivery Documents, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares. If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the actual number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon such an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than five (5) Business Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant of like tenor representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised.

(iii) If the Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason to issue to the Holder, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of the Exercise Delivery Documents, a certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or to credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for such number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise of this Warrant, and if on or after such Business Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a “ Buy-In ”), then the Company shall, within five (5) Business Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “ Buy-In Price ”), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such shares of Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) the closing bid price on the date of exercise.

(c) Partial Exercise . This Warrant shall be exercisable, either in its entirety or, from time to time, for part only of the number of Warrant Shares referenced by this Warrant. If this Warrant is exercised in part, the Company shall issue, at its expense, a new Warrant, in substantially the form of this Warrant, referencing such reduced number of Warrant Shares that remain subject to this Warrant.

(d) Disputes . In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 15.

 

2. ISSUANCE OF WARRANT SHARES

(a) The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares will, upon issuance in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, be (i) duly authorized, fully paid and non-assessable, and (ii) free from all liens, charges and security interests, with the exception of claims arising through the acts or omissions of any Holder and except as arising from applicable Federal and state securities laws.

 

3


 

(b) The Company shall register this Warrant upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose in the name of the record holder of such Warrant from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner thereof for the purpose of any exercise thereof, any distribution to the Holder thereof and for all other purposes.

(c) The Company will not, by amendment of its articles of incorporation, by-laws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the taking of all action necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder to exercise this Warrant, or against impairment of such rights.

(i) Dividends in Stock, Property, Reclassification . If at any time, or from time to time, the holders of Common Stock (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall have received or become entitled to receive, without payment therefore:

(A) any shares of stock or other securities that are at any time directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or any rights or options to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any of the foregoing by way of dividend or other distribution, or

(ii) Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale . If any recapitalization, reclassification or reorganization of the capital stock of the Company, or any consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets or other transaction shall be effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or other assets or property (an “ Organic Change ”), then lawful and adequate provisions shall be made by the Company whereby the Holder hereof shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive (in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant) such shares of stock, securities or other assets or property as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of outstanding shares of such Common Stock equal to the number of shares of such stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable assuming the full exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant. In the event of any Organic Change, appropriate provision shall be made by the Company with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder of this Warrant to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustments of the Exercise Price and of the number of shares purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall thereafter be applicable, in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the exercise hereof. To the extent necessary to effect the foregoing provisions, the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing such assets shall assume by written instrument reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder executed and mailed or delivered to the registered Holder hereof at the last address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company, the obligation to deliver to such Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such Holder may be entitled to purchase. If there is an Organic Change, then the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at its last

 

4


address as it shall appear on the books and records of the Company, at least 10 calendar days before the effective date of the Organic Change, a notice stating the date on which such Organic Change is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares for securities, cash, or other property delivered upon such Organic Change; provided, 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. The Holder is entitled to exercise this Warrant during the 10-day period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice. In any event, the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing such assets shall be deemed to assume such obligation to deliver to such Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets even in the absence of a written instrument assuming such obligation to the extent such assumption occurs by operation of law.

3. Placement Agent’s Compensation . In consideration for the services rendered by the Placement Agent hereunder, the Company shall pay to the Placement Agent, or cause the Placement Agent to be paid, compensation as provided in this section within 3 days of the Company’s receipt of funds from the Offerees, and $10,000 expenses.

4. Certain Matters Relating to Placement Agent’s Duties.

The term “ Shares ” refers to the purchased Shares and all securities received in replacement of or in connection with the Shares pursuant to stock dividends or splits, all securities received in replacement of the Shares in a recapitalization, merger, reorganization, exchange or the like, and all new, substituted or additional securities or other properties to which Purchaser is entitled by reason of Purchaser’s ownership of the Shares.

(a) Purchaser is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Shares. Purchaser is purchasing the Shares for investment for its own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act.

(b) Purchaser understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption therefore, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Purchaser’s investment intent as expressed herein.


 

(c) Purchaser understands that the Shares are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, Purchaser must hold the Shares indefinitely unless they are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify the Shares for resale. Purchaser further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Shares, and requirements relating to the Company which are outside of the Purchaser’s control, and which the Company is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy.

(d) Purchaser understands that Purchaser may suffer adverse tax consequences as a result of Purchaser’s purchase or disposition of the Shares. Purchaser represents that Purchaser has consulted any tax consultants Purchaser deems advisable in connection with the purchase or disposition of the Shares and that Purchaser is not relying on the Company for any tax advice.

4. Restrictive Legends .

(a) Legends . The certificate or certificates representing the Shares shall bear the following legend (as well as any legends required by applicable state and federal corporate and securities laws):

 

  (i) THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF.

5. Miscellaneous .

This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter herein and merges all prior discussions between them. No modification of or amendment to this Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights under this Agreement, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the parties to this Agreement. The failure by either party to enforce any rights under this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any rights of such party.

(c) Severability . If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, the parties agree to renegotiate such provision in good faith. In the event that the parties cannot reach a mutually agreeable and enforceable replacement for such provision, then (i) such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement, (ii) the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and (iii) the balance of the Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

1. DURATION AND EXERCISE OF WARRANTS

(a) Exercise Period . The Holder may exercise this Warrant in whole or in part on any Business Day on or before 5:00 P.M., Eastern Time, on the Expiration Date, at which time this Warrant shall become void and of no value.

(b) Exercise Procedures .

(i) While this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable in accordance with Section 1(a), in addition to the manner set forth in Section 1(b) below, the Holder may exercise this Warrant in whole or in part at any time and from time to time by:

(A) delivery to the Company of a duly completed and executed copy of the notice of exercise attached as Exhibit A (the “ Notice of Exercise ”);

(B) surrender of this Warrant to the Secretary of the Company at its principal offices or at such other office or agency as the Company may specify in writing to the Holder; and

 

         _______________
     

(C) payment of the then-applicable A

Exercise Price per share multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares being purchased upon exercise of the Warrant (such amount, the “ Aggregate Exercise Price ”) made in the form of cash, or by certified check, wire transfer, bank draft or money order payable in lawful money of the United States of America.

   A

with:

   X =    the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder   
   Y =    the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which the Warrant is being exercised   

(ii) Upon the exercise of this Warrant in compliance with the provisions of this Section 1(b), and except as limited pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 1(b), the Company shall promptly issue and cause to be delivered to the Holder a certificate for the Warrant Shares purchased by the Holder. Each exercise of this Warrant shall be effective immediately prior to the close of business on the date (the “ Date of Exercise ”) that the conditions set forth in Section 1(b) have been satisfied, as the case may be. On the first Business Day following the date on which the Company has received each of the Notice of Exercise and the Aggregate Exercise Price with Section 1(b) (the “ Exercise Delivery Document ”), the Company shall transmit an acknowledgment of receipt of the Exercise Delivery Documents to the Company’s transfer agent (the “ Transfer Agent ”).

(c) Partial Exercise . This Warrant shall be exercisable, either in its entirety or, from time to time, for part only of the number of Warrant Shares referenced by this Warrant. If this Warrant is exercised in part, the Company shall issue, at its expense, a new Warrant, in substantially the form of this Warrant, referencing such reduced number of Warrant Shares that remain subject to this Warrant.

(d) Disputes . In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 15.

 

2. ISSUANCE OF WARRANT SHARES

(a) The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares will, upon issuance in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, be (i) duly authorized, fully paid and non-assessable, and (ii) free from all liens, charges and security interests, with the exception of claims arising through the acts or omissions of any Holder and except as arising from applicable Federal and state securities laws.

(b) The Company shall register this Warrant upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose in the name of the record holder of such Warrant from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner thereof for the purpose of any exercise thereof, any distribution to the Holder thereof and for all other purposes.

(c) The Company will not, by amendment of its articles of incorporation, by-laws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the taking of all action necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder to exercise this Warrant, or against impairment of such rights.

(i) Dividends in Stock, Property, Reclassification . If at any time, or from time to time, the holders of Common Stock (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall have received or become entitled to receive, without payment therefore:

(A) any shares of stock or other securities that are at any time directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or any rights or options to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any of the foregoing by way of dividend or other distribution, or

(ii) Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale . If any recapitalization, reclassification or reorganization of the capital stock of the Company, or any consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets or other transaction shall be effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or other assets or property (an “ Organic Change ”), then lawful and adequate provisions shall be made by the Company whereby the Holder hereof shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive (in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant) such shares of stock, securities or other assets or property as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of outstanding shares of such Common Stock equal to the number of shares of such stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable assuming the full exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant. In the event of any Organic Change, appropriate provision shall be made by the Company with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder of this Warrant to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustments of the Exercise Price and of the number of shares purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall thereafter be applicable, in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the exercise hereof. To the extent necessary to effect the foregoing provisions, the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing such assets shall assume by written instrument reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder executed and mailed or delivered to the registered Holder hereof at the last address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company, the obligation to deliver to such Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such Holder may be entitled to purchase. If there is an Organic Change, then the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at its last

address as it shall appear on the books and records of the Company, at least 10 calendar days before the effective date of the Organic Change, a notice stating the date on which such Organic Change is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares for securities, cash, or other property delivered upon such Organic Change; provided, 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. The Holder is entitled to exercise this Warrant during the 10-day period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice. In any event, the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing such assets shall be deemed to assume such obligation to deliver to such Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets even in the absence of a written instrument assuming such obligation to the extent such assumption occurs by operation of law.

(d) Certificate as to Adjustments . Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment pursuant to this Section 3, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each Holder of this Warrant a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall promptly furnish or cause to be furnished to such Holder a like certificate setting forth: (i) such adjustments and readjustments; and (ii) the number of shares and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the exercise of the Warrant.

(e) Certain Events . If any event occurs as to which the other provisions of this Section 3 are not strictly applicable but the lack of any adjustment would not fairly protect the purchase rights of the Holder under this Warrant in accordance with the basic intent and principles of such provisions, or if strictly applicable would not fairly protect the purchase rights of the Holder under this Warrant in accordance with the basic intent and principles of such provisions, then the Company’s Board of Directors will, in good faith and subject to applicable law, make an appropriate adjustment to protect the rights of the Holder; provided , that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 3(c) will increase the Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Shares as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 3.

Subject to Section 4(c), upon the Holder’s surrender of this Warrant, with a duly executed copy of the Form of Assignment attached as Exhibit B , to the Secretary of the Company at its principal offices or at such other office or agency as the Company may specify in writing to the Holder, the Company shall register the transfer of all or any portion of this Warrant.

2. EXERCISE OF WARRANT

 

  2.1 Payment . Subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of this Warrant and applicable securities laws, this Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part at any time or from time to time after the Effective Date, and on or before the Expiration Date by the delivery (including, without limitation, delivery by facsimile) of the form of Notice of Exercise attached hereto as Exhibit 1 (the “ Notice of Exercise ”), duly executed by the Holder, at the principal office of the Company, and as soon as practicable after such date, surrendering

 

  (a) this Warrant at the principal office of the Company, and

 

  (b) payment in cash (by check) or by wire transfer of an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock being purchased upon such exercise by the then effective Purchase Price (the “ Exercise Amount ”).

 

  2.2 Stock Certificates; Fractional Shares . As soon as practicable on or after the date of any exercise of this Warrant but in any event within 5 business days after its receipt of the Exercise Amount, the Company shall issue and deliver to the person or persons designated by the Holder a certificate or certificates for the aggregate number of whole shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon an exercise of this Warrant.

 

  2.3 Partial Exercise; Effective Date of Exercise . In case of any partial exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall cancel this Warrant upon surrender hereof and shall execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and date for the balance of the shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to the close of business on the date of its surrender for exercise as provided above. The person entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of record of such shares as of the close of business on the date the Company receives the Notice of Exercise, subject to receipt of the Exercise Amount.

 

  2.4 Vesting . The warrants shall vest fully upon issuance.

 

3. VALID ISSUANCE; TAXES . All shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The Company shall not be required to pay any tax or other charge imposed in connection with any transfer involved in the issuance of any certificate for shares of Common Stock in any name other than that of the Registered Holder of this Warrant, and in such case the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any stock certificate or security until such tax or other charge has been paid, or it has been established to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction that no tax or other charge is due.


 

4. ADJUSTMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES . The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (or any shares of stock or other securities or property receivable or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) and the Purchase Price are subject to adjustment upon occurrence of the following events:

 

  4.1 Adjustment for Stock Splits, Stock Subdivisions or Combinations of Shares . The Purchase Price of this Warrant shall be proportionally decreased and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) shall be proportionally increased to reflect any stock split or other subdivision of the Company’s Common Stock. The Purchase Price of this Warrant shall be proportionally increased and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) shall be proportionally decreased to reflect any reverse stock split, consolidation or combination of the Company’s Common Stock.

 

  4.2 Reclassification . If the Company, by reclassification of securities or otherwise, shall change any of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Warrant exist into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes, this Warrant shall thereafter represent the right to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the securities that were subject to the purchase rights under this Warrant immediately prior to such reclassification or other change, and the Purchase Price therefore shall be appropriately adjusted, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 4 . No adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Section 4.3 upon any conversion or redemption of the Common Stock which is the subject of Section 4.4 .

 

  4.3

Adjustment for Capital Reorganization, Merger or Consolidation . In case of any capital reorganization of the capital stock of the Company (other than a combination, reclassification, exchange or subdivision of shares otherwise provided for herein), or any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all the assets of the Company then, and in each such case, as a part of such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, lawful provision shall be made so that the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, during the period specified herein and upon payment of the Purchase Price then in effect, the number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) to which the holder of the shares deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled to receive in such reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale or transfer if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 4 . The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.3 shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, consolidations, mergers, sales and transfers and to the stock or securities of any


 

other corporation that are at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant. In all events, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder after the transaction, to the end that the provisions of this Warrant shall be applicable after that event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other property deliverable after that event upon exercise of this Warrant.

 

  4.4 Conversion of Common Stock . In case all or any portion of the authorized and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company are redeemed or converted or reclassified into other securities or property pursuant to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or otherwise, or the Common Stock otherwise ceases to exist, then, in such case, the Holder of this Warrant, upon exercise hereof at any time after the date on which the Common Stock is so redeemed or converted, reclassified or ceases to exist (the “ Termination Date ”), shall receive, in lieu of the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the Termination Date, the securities or property that would have been received if this Warrant had been exercised in full and the Common Stock received thereupon had been simultaneously converted immediately prior to the Termination Date, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Warrant. Additionally, the Purchase Price shall be immediately adjusted such that the aggregate Purchase Price of the maximum number of securities or other property for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after the Termination Date is equal to the aggregate Purchase Price of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant was exercisable immediately prior to the Termination Date, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

 

5. LOSS OR MUTILATION . Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, and (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company will execute and deliver in lieu thereof a new Warrant of like tenor as the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant.

 

6. RESERVATION OF COMMON STOCK . The Company hereby covenants that at all times there shall be reserved for issuance and delivery upon exercise of this Warrant such number of shares of Common Stock or other shares of capital stock of the Company as are from time to time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and, from time to time, will take all steps necessary to amend its Certificate of Incorporation to provide sufficient reserves of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. All such shares shall be duly authorized, and when issued upon such exercise, shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of all liens, security interests, charges and other encumbrances or restrictions on sale and free and clear of all preemptive rights, except encumbrances or restrictions arising under federal or state securities laws. Issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to the Company’s Officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.


 

7. TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Warrant and compliance with all applicable securities laws, this Warrant and all rights hereunder may be transferred to any Registered Holder’s parent, subsidiary or affiliate or to any officer, director, partner or member of any such parent, subsidiary or affiliate, in whole or in part, on the books of the Company maintained for such purpose at the principal office of the Company referred to above, by the Registered Holder hereof in person, or by duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant properly endorsed and upon payment of any necessary transfer tax or other governmental charge imposed upon such transfer. Upon any permitted partial transfer, the Company will issue and deliver to the Registered Holder a new Warrant or Warrants with respect to the shares of Common Stock not so transferred. Each taker and holder of this Warrant, by taking or holding the same, consents and agrees that when this Warrant shall have been so endorsed, the person in possession of this Warrant may be treated by the Company, and all other persons dealing with this Warrant, as the absolute owner hereof for any purpose and as the person entitled to exercise the rights represented hereby, any notice to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however that until a transfer of this Warrant is duly registered on the books of the Company, the Company may treat the Registered Holder hereof as the owner for all purposes.

 

8. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER . By acceptance hereof, the Holder acknowledges that this Warrant and the capital stock of the Company that may be issued upon its exercise have not been registered under the Securities Act, and Holder agrees not to sell, pledge, distribute, offer for sale, transfer or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any capital stock issued upon its exercise in the absence of (i) an effective registration statement under the Securities Act as to this Warrant or such securities and registration or qualification of this Warrant or such securities under any applicable Blue Sky or state securities laws then in effect, or (ii) an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such registration and qualification are not required. In the reasonable discretion of the Company, the Company may condition any transfer of all or any portion of this Warrant or the capital stock of the Company that may be issued upon its exercise (other than a disposition satisfying the conditions set forth in clause (i) of Section 8(i) above) upon the transferee’s delivery to the Company of a written agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, whereby the transferee makes such representations and warranties to and for the benefit of the Company as are comparable to the representations and warranties of the Holder set forth in Section 9 below.

 

9.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAWS . By acceptance of this Warrant, the Holder hereby represents, warrants and covenants that any shares of stock purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be acquired for investment only and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof; that the Holder has had such opportunity as such Holder has deemed adequate to obtain from representatives of the Company such information as is necessary to permit the Holder to evaluate the merits and risks of its investment in the Company; that the Holder is able to bear the economic risk of holding such shares as may be acquired pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant for an


 

indefinite period; that the Holder understands that the shares of stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant will not be registered under the Securities Act (unless otherwise registered pursuant to exercise by the Holder of the registration rights, if any, granted to the Registered Holder) and will be “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and that the exemption from registration under Rule 144 will not be available for at least one (1) year from the date of exercise of this Warrant, subject to any special treatment by the SEC for exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 2.2 , and even then will not be available unless a public market then exists for the stock, adequate information concerning the Company is then available to the public, and other terms and conditions of Rule 144 are complied with; and that all stock certificates representing shares of stock issued to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant or upon conversion of such shares may have affixed thereto a legend substantially in the following form:

THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY OTHER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS AND HAVE BEEN ISSUED IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND SUCH OTHER SECURITIES LAWS.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “ Agreement ”) is made as of January 7, 2010, by and between Single Touch Systems, Inc. , a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), and Mike Robert, an investor (the “ Purchaser ”).

AGREEMENT

NOW THEREFORE, the undersigned agree as follows:

1. Sale of Stock . Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the Purchase Date (as defined below) the Company will issue and sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser agrees to purchase from the Company, One Million Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand (1,750,000) shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “ Shares ”) at a purchase price of $0.2429 per share for a total purchase price of $425,000. The term “ Shares ” refers to the purchased Shares and all securities received in replacement of or in connection with the Shares pursuant to stock dividends or splits, all securities received in replacement of the Shares in a recapitalization, merger, reorganization, exchange or the like, and all new, substituted or additional securities or other properties to which Purchaser is entitled by reason of Purchaser’s ownership of the Shares.

2. Purchase . The purchase and sale of the Shares under this Agreement shall occur at the principal office of the Company simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement by the parties or on such other date as the Company and Purchaser shall agree (the “ Purchase Date ”).

3. Investment and Taxation Representations . In connection with the purchase of the Shares, Purchaser represents to the Company the following:

(a) Purchaser is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Shares. Purchaser is purchasing the Shares for investment for its own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act.

(b) Purchaser understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption therefore, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Purchaser’s investment intent as expressed herein.

(c) Purchaser understands that the Shares are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, Purchaser must hold the Shares indefinitely unless they are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify the Shares for resale. Purchaser further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Shares, and requirements relating to the Company which are outside of the Purchaser’s control, and which the Company is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy.


 

(d) Purchaser understands that Purchaser may suffer adverse tax consequences as a result of Purchaser’s purchase or disposition of the Shares. Purchaser represents that Purchaser has consulted any tax consultants Purchaser deems advisable in connection with the purchase or disposition of the Shares and that Purchaser is not relying on the Company for any tax advice.

4. Restrictive Legends .

(a) Legends . The certificate or certificates representing the Shares shall bear the following legend (as well as any legends required by applicable state and federal corporate and securities laws):

(i) THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. NO SUCH SALE OR DISTRIBUTION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN A FORM SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.

(ii) Any legend required to be placed thereon by the California Commissioner of Corporations.

5. Miscellaneous .

(a) Governing Law . This Agreement and all acts and transactions pursuant hereto and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed, construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law.

(b) Entire Agreement; Enforcement of Rights . This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter herein and merges all prior discussions between them. No modification of or amendment to this Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights under this Agreement, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the parties to this Agreement. The failure by either party to enforce any rights under this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any rights of such party.

(c) Severability . If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, the parties agree to renegotiate such provision in good faith. In the event that the parties cannot reach a mutually agreeable and enforceable replacement for such provision, then (i) such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement, (ii) the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and (iii) the balance of the Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

(d) Construction . This Agreement is the result of negotiations between and has been reviewed by each of the parties hereto and their respective counsel, if any; accordingly, this Agreement shall be deemed to be the product of all of the parties hereto, and no ambiguity shall be construed in favor of or against any one of the parties hereto.

Single Touch Systems Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), for value received on January 7, 2010 (the “ Effective Date ”), hereby issues to Mike Robert (the “ Holder ”) this Warrant (the “ Warrant ”) to purchase, one million seven hundred fifty thousand (1,750,000) shares (each such share as from time to time adjusted as hereinafter provided being a “ Warrant Share ” and all such shares being the “ Warrant Shares ”) of the Company’s Common Stock (as defined below), at the Exercise Price (as defined below), as adjusted from time to time as provided herein, on or before January 7, 2012 (the “ Expiration Date ”), all subject to the following terms and conditions.

As used in this Warrant, (i) “ Business Day ” means any day other than Saturday, Sunday or any other day on which commercial banks in the City of New York, New York, are authorized or required by law or executive order to close; (ii) “ Common Stock ” means the common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share, including any securities issued or issuable with respect thereto or into which or for which such shares may be exchanged for, or converted into, pursuant to any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, recapitalization, reclassification, reorganization or other similar event; (iii) “ Exercise Price” means $1.00 per share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment as provided herein; (iv) “ Trading Day ” means any day on which the Common Stock is traded on the primary national or regional stock exchange on which the Common Stock is listed, or if not so listed, the OTC Bulletin Board, if quoted thereon, is open for the transaction of business; and (v) “ Affiliate ” means any person that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, a person, as such terms are used and construed in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”).


 

1. DURATION AND EXERCISE OF WARRANTS

(a) Exercise Period . The Holder may exercise this Warrant in whole or in part on any Business Day on or before 5:00 P.M., Eastern Time, on the Expiration Date, at which time this Warrant shall become void and of no value.

(b) Exercise Procedures .

(i) While this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable in accordance with Section 1(a), in addition to the manner set forth in Section 1(b) below, the Holder may exercise this Warrant in whole or in part at any time and from time to time by:

(A) delivery to the Company of a duly completed and executed copy of the notice of exercise attached as Exhibit A (the “ Notice of Exercise ”);

(B) surrender of this Warrant to the Secretary of the Company at its principal offices or at such other office or agency as the Company may specify in writing to the Holder; and

 

     (C) payment of the then-applicable Exercise Price per share multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares being purchased upon exercise of the Warrant (such amount, the “Aggregate Exercise Price”) made in the form of cash, or by certified check, wire transfer, bank draft or money order payable in lawful money of the United States of America.    A
with:   X =    the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder   
  Y =    the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which the Warrant is being exercised   

(ii) Upon the exercise of this Warrant in compliance with the provisions of this Section 1(b), and except as limited pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 1(b), the Company shall promptly issue and cause to be delivered to the Holder a certificate for the Warrant Shares purchased by the Holder. Each exercise of this Warrant shall be effective immediately prior to the close of business on the date (the “ Date of Exercise ”) that the conditions set forth in Section 1(b) have been satisfied, as the case may be. On the first Business Day following the date on which the Company has received each of the Notice of Exercise and the Aggregate Exercise Price with Section 1(b) (the “ Exercise Delivery Document ”), the Company shall transmit an acknowledgment of receipt of the Exercise Delivery Documents to the Company’s transfer agent (the “ Transfer Agent ”). On or before the fifth Business Day following the date on which the Company has received all of the Exercise Delivery Documents (the “ Share Delivery Date ”), the Company shall (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“ DTC ”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, upon the request of the Holder, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system, or

 

2


(Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Notice of Exercise, a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise. Upon delivery of the Exercise Delivery Documents, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares. If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the actual number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon such an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than five (5) Business Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant of like tenor representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised.

(iii) If the Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason to issue to the Holder, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of the Exercise Delivery Documents, a certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or to credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for such number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise of this Warrant, and if on or after such Business Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a “ Buy-In ”), then the Company shall, within five (5) Business Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “ Buy-In Price ”), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such shares of Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) the closing bid price on the date of exercise.

(c) Partial Exercise . This Warrant shall be exercisable, either in its entirety or, from time to time, for part only of the number of Warrant Shares referenced by this Warrant. If this Warrant is exercised in part, the Company shall issue, at its expense, a new Warrant, in substantially the form of this Warrant, referencing such reduced number of Warrant Shares that remain subject to this Warrant.

(d) Disputes . In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 15.

 

2. ISSUANCE OF WARRANT SHARES

(a) The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares will, upon issuance in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, be (i) duly authorized, fully paid and non-assessable, and (ii) free from all liens, charges and security interests, with the exception of claims arising through the acts or omissions of any Holder and except as arising from applicable Federal and state securities laws.

 

3


 

(b) The Company shall register this Warrant upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose in the name of the record holder of such Warrant from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner thereof for the purpose of any exercise thereof, any distribution to the Holder thereof and for all other purposes.

(c) The Company will not, by amendment of its articles of incorporation, by-laws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the taking of all action necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder to exercise this Warrant, or against impairment of such rights.

(i) Dividends in Stock, Property, Reclassification . If at any time, or from time to time, the holders of Common Stock (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall have received or become entitled to receive, without payment therefore:

(A) any shares of stock or other securities that are at any time directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or any rights or options to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any of the foregoing by way of dividend or other distribution, or

(ii) Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale . If any recapitalization, reclassification or reorganization of the capital stock of the Company, or any consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets or other transaction shall be effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or other assets or property (an “ Organic Change ”), then lawful and adequate provisions shall be made by the Company whereby the Holder hereof shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive (in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant) such shares of stock, securities or other assets or property as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of outstanding shares of such Common Stock equal to the number of shares of such stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable assuming the full exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant. In the event of any Organic Change, appropriate provision shall be made by the Company with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder of this Warrant to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustments of the Exercise Price and of the number of shares purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall thereafter be applicable, in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the exercise hereof. To the extent necessary to effect the foregoing provisions, the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing such assets shall assume by written instrument reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder executed and mailed or delivered to the registered Holder hereof at the last address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company, the obligation to deliver to such Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such Holder may be entitled to purchase. If there is an Organic Change, then the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at its last

 

4


address as it shall appear on the books and records of the Company, at least 10 calendar days before the effective date of the Organic Change, a notice stating the date on which such Organic Change is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares for securities, cash, or other property delivered upon such Organic Change; provided, 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. The Holder is entitled to exercise this Warrant during the 10-day period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice. In any event, the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing such assets shall be deemed to assume such obligation to deliver to such Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets even in the absence of a written instrument assuming such obligation to the extent such assumption occurs by operation of law.

(d) Certificate as to Adjustments . Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment pursuant to this Section 3, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each Holder of this Warrant a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall promptly furnish or cause to be furnished to such Holder a like certificate setting forth: (i) such adjustments and readjustments; and (ii) the number of shares and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the exercise of the Warrant.

(e) Certain Events . If any event occurs as to which the other provisions of this Section 3 are not strictly applicable but the lack of any adjustment would not fairly protect the purchase rights of the Holder under this Warrant in accordance with the basic intent and principles of such provisions, or if strictly applicable would not fairly protect the purchase rights of the Holder under this Warrant in accordance with the basic intent and principles of such provisions, then the Company’s Board of Directors will, in good faith and subject to applicable law, make an appropriate adjustment to protect the rights of the Holder; provided , that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 3(c) will increase the Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Shares as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 3.

 

3. TRANSFERS AND EXCHANGES OF WARRANT AND WARRANT SHARES

(a) Registration of Transfers and Exchanges . Subject to Section 4(c), upon the Holder’s surrender of this Warrant, with a duly executed copy of the Form of Assignment attached as Exhibit B , to the Secretary of the Company at its principal offices or at such other office or agency as the Company may specify in writing to the Holder, the Company shall register the transfer of all or any portion of this Warrant. Upon such registration of transfer, the Company shall issue a new Warrant, in substantially the form of this Warrant, evidencing the acquisition rights transferred to the transferee and a new Warrant, in similar form, evidencing the remaining acquisition rights not transferred, to the Holder requesting the transfer.

(b) Warrant Exchangeable for Different Denominations . The Holder may exchange this Warrant for a new Warrant or Warrants, in substantially the form of this Warrant, evidencing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares, which may then be purchased hereunder, each of such new Warrants to be dated the date of such exchange and to represent the right to purchase such number of Warrant Shares as shall be designated by the Holder. The Holder shall surrender this Warrant with duly executed instructions regarding such re-certification of this Warrant to the Secretary of the Company at its principal offices or at such other office or agency as the Company may specify in writing to the Holder.

This Warrant may not be transferred at any time without (i) registration under the Securities Act or (ii) an exemption from such registration and a written opinion of legal counsel addressed to the Company that the proposed transfer of the Warrant may be effected without registration under the Securities Act, which opinion will be in form and from counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

(d) Permitted Transfers and Assignments . Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Section 4, the Holder may transfer, with or without consideration, this Warrant or any of the Warrant Shares (or a portion thereof) to the Holder’s Affiliates (as such term is defined under Rule 144 of the Securities Act) without obtaining the opinion from counsel that may be required by Section 4(c)(ii), provided, that the Holder delivers to the Company and its counsel certification, documentation, and other assurances reasonably required by the Company’s counsel to enable the Company’s counsel to render an opinion to the Company’s Transfer Agent that such transfer does not violate applicable securities laws.

 

4. MUTILATED OR MISSING WARRANT CERTIFICATE

NOW THEREFORE, the undersigned agree as follows:

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the Purchase Date (as defined below) the Company will issue and sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser agrees to purchase from the Company, ________ (              ) shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “ Shares ”) at a purchase price of $0.370 per share for a total purchase price of $              . The term “ Shares ” refers to the purchased Shares and all securities received in replacement of or in connection with the Shares pursuant to stock dividends or splits, all securities received in replacement of the Shares in a recapitalization, merger, reorganization, exchange or the like, and all new, substituted or additional securities or other properties to which Purchaser is entitled by reason of Purchaser’s ownership of the Shares.

2. Purchase. The purchase and sale of the Shares under this Agreement shall occur at the principal office of the Company simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement by the parties or on such other date as the Company and Purchaser shall agree (the “ Purchase Date ”).

3. Investment and Taxation Representations. In connection with the purchase of the Shares, Purchaser represents to the Company the following:

(a) Purchaser is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Shares. Purchaser is purchasing the Shares for investment for its own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act.

(b) Purchaser understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption therefore, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Purchaser’s investment intent as expressed herein.

(c) Purchaser understands that the Shares are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, Purchaser must hold the Shares indefinitely unless they are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify the Shares for resale. Purchaser further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Shares, and requirements relating to the Company which are outside of the Purchaser’s control, and which the Company is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy.


 

(d) Purchaser understands that Purchaser may suffer adverse tax consequences as a result of Purchaser’s purchase or disposition of the Shares. Purchaser represents that Purchaser has consulted any tax consultants Purchaser deems advisable in connection with the purchase or disposition of the Shares and that Purchaser is not relying on the Company for any tax advice.

4. Restrictive Legends.

(a) Legends . The certificate or certificates representing the Shares shall bear the following legend (as well as any legends required by applicable state and federal corporate and securities laws):

(i) THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. NO SUCH SALE OR DISTRIBUTION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN A FORM SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.

(ii) Any legend required to be placed thereon by the California Commissioner of Corporations.

5. Miscellaneous.

(a) Governing Law . This Agreement and all acts and transactions pursuant hereto and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed, construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law.

(b) Entire Agreement; Enforcement of Rights . This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter herein and merges all prior discussions between them. No modification of or amendment to this Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights under this Agreement, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the parties to this Agreement. The failure by either party to enforce any rights under this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any rights of such party.

(c) Severability . If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, the parties agree to renegotiate such provision in good faith. In the event that the parties cannot reach a mutually agreeable and enforceable replacement for such provision, then (i) such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement, (ii) the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and (iii) the balance of the Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

(d) Construction . This Agreement is the result of negotiations between and has been reviewed by each of the parties hereto and their respective counsel, if any; accordingly, this Agreement shall be deemed to be the product of all of the parties hereto, and no ambiguity shall be construed in favor of or against any one of the parties hereto.

WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK

Single Touch Systems Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), for value received on January 12, 2010 (the “ Effective Date ”), hereby issues to              (the “ Holder ”) this Warrant (the “ Warrant ”) to purchase,              (              ) shares (each such share as from time to time adjusted as hereinafter provided being a “ Warrant Share ” and all such shares being the “ Warrant Shares ”) of the Company’s Common Stock (as defined below), at the Exercise Price (as defined below), as adjusted from time to time as provided herein, on or before January 11, 2012 (the “ Expiration Date ”), all subject to the following terms and conditions.

As used in this Warrant, (i) “ Business Day ” means any day other than Saturday, Sunday or any other day on which commercial banks in the City of New York, New York, are authorized or required by law or executive order to close; (ii) “ Common Stock ” means the common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share, including any securities issued or issuable with respect thereto or into which or for which such shares may be exchanged for, or converted into, pursuant to any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, recapitalization, reclassification, reorganization or other similar event; (iii) “ Exercise Price ” means $1.50 per share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment as provided herein; (iv) “ Trading Day ” means any day on which the Common Stock is traded on the primary national or regional stock exchange on which the Common Stock is listed, or if not so listed, the OTC Bulletin Board, if quoted thereon, is open for the transaction of business; and (v) “ Affiliate ” means any person that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, a person, as such terms are used and construed in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”).


 

1. DURATION AND EXERCISE OF WARRANTS

(a) Exercise Period . The Holder may exercise this Warrant in whole or in part on any Business Day on or before 5:00 P.M., Eastern Time, on the Expiration Date, at which time this Warrant shall become void and of no value.

(b) Exercise Procedures .

(i) While this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable in accordance with Section 1(a), in addition to the manner set forth in Section 1(b) below, the Holder may exercise this Warrant in whole or in part at any time and from time to time by:

(A) delivery to the Company of a duly completed and executed copy of the notice of exercise attached as Exhibit A (the “ Notice of Exercise ”);

(B) surrender of this Warrant to the Secretary of the Company at its principal offices or at such other office or agency as the Company may specify in writing to the Holder; and

 

     (C) payment of the then-applicable Exercise Price per share multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares being purchased upon exercise of the Warrant (such amount, the “ Aggregate Exercise Price ”) made in the form of cash, or by certified check, wire transfer, bank draft or money order payable in lawful money of the United States of America.    A

with:

  X =    the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder   
  Y =    the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which the Warrant is being exercised   

(ii) Upon the exercise of this Warrant in compliance with the provisions of this Section 1(b), and except as limited pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 1(b), the Company shall promptly issue and cause to be delivered to the Holder a certificate for the Warrant Shares purchased by the Holder. Each exercise of this Warrant shall be effective immediately prior to the close of business on the date (the “ Date of Exercise ”) that the conditions set forth in Section 1(b) have been satisfied, as the case may be. On the first Business Day following the date on which the Company has received each of the Notice of Exercise and the Aggregate Exercise Price with Section 1(b) (the “ Exercise Delivery Document ”), the Company shall transmit an acknowledgment of receipt of the Exercise Delivery Documents to the Company’s transfer agent (the “ Transfer Agent ”). On or before the fifth Business Day following the date on which the Company has received all of the Exercise Delivery Documents (the “ Share Delivery Date ”), the Company shall (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“ DTC ”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, upon the request of the Holder, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designees balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system, or

 

2


(Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Notice of Exercise, a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise. Upon delivery of the Exercise Delivery Documents, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares. If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the actual number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon such an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than five (5) Business Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant of like tenor representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised.

(iii) If the Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason to issue to the Holder, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of the Exercise Delivery Documents, a certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or to credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for such number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise of this Warrant, and if on or after such Business Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a “ Buy-In ”), then the Company shall, within five (5) Business Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “ Buy-In Price ”), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such shares of Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) the closing bid price on the date of exercise.

(c) Partial Exercise . This Warrant shall be exercisable, either in its entirety or, from time to time, for part only of the number of Warrant Shares referenced by this Warrant. If this Warrant is exercised in part, the Company shall issue, at its expense, a new Warrant, in substantially the form of this Warrant, referencing such reduced number of Warrant Shares that remain subject to this Warrant.

(d) Disputes . In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 15.

 

2. ISSUANCE OF WARRANT SHARES

(a) The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares will, upon issuance in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, be (i) duly authorized, fully paid and non-assessable, and (ii) free from all liens, charges and security interests, with the exception of claims arising through the acts or omissions of any Holder and except as arising from applicable Federal and state securities laws.

 

3


 

(b) The Company shall register this Warrant upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose in the name of the record holder of such Warrant from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner thereof for the purpose of any exercise thereof, any distribution to the Holder thereof and for all other purposes.

(c) The Company will not, by amendment of its articles of incorporation, by-laws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the taking of all action necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder to exercise this Warrant, or against impairment of such rights.

(i) Dividends in Stock, Property, Reclassification . If at any time, or from time to time, the holders of Common Stock (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall have received or become entitled to receive, without payment therefore:

(A) any shares of stock or other securities that are at any time directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or any rights or options to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any of the foregoing by way of dividend or other distribution, or

(ii) Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale . If any recapitalization, reclassification or reorganization of the capital stock of the Company, or any consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets or other transaction shall be effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or other assets or property (an “Organic Change”), then lawful and adequate provisions shall be made by the Company whereby the Holder hereof shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive (in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant) such shares of stock, securities or other assets or property as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of outstanding shares of such Common Stock equal to the number of shares of such stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable assuming the full exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant. In the event of any Organic Change, appropriate provision shall be made by the Company with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder of this Warrant to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustments of the Exercise Price and of the number of shares purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall thereafter be applicable, in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the exercise hereof. To the extent necessary to effect the foregoing provisions, the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing such assets shall assume by written instrument reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder executed and mailed or delivered to the registered Holder hereof at the last address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company, the obligation to deliver to such Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such Holder may be entitled to purchase. If there is an Organic Change, then the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at its last

 

4


address as it shall appear on the books and records of the Company, at least 10 calendar days before the effective date of the Organic Change, a notice stating the date on which such Organic Change is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares for securities, cash, or other property delivered upon such Organic Change; provided, 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. The Holder is entitled to exercise this Warrant during the 10-day period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice. In any event, the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing such assets shall be deemed to assume such obligation to deliver to such Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets even in the absence of a written instrument assuming such obligation to the extent such assumption occurs by operation of law.

(d) Certificate as to Adjustments . Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment pursuant to this Section 3, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each Holder of this Warrant a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall promptly furnish or cause to be furnished to such Holder a like certificate setting forth: (i) such adjustments and readjustments; and (ii) the number of shares and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the exercise of the Warrant.

(e) Certain Events . If any event occurs as to which the other provisions of this Section 3 are not strictly applicable but the lack of any adjustment would not fairly protect the purchase rights of the Holder under this Warrant in accordance with the basic intent and principles of such provisions, or if strictly applicable would not fairly protect the purchase rights of the Holder under this Warrant in accordance with the basic intent and principles of such provisions, then the Company’s Board of Directors will, in good faith and subject to applicable law, make an appropriate adjustment to protect the rights of the Holder; provided, that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 3(c) will increase the Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Shares as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 3.

 

3. TRANSFERS AND EXCHANGES OF WARRANT AND WARRANT SHARES

(a) Registration of Transfers and Exchanges . Subject to Section 4(c), upon the Holder’s surrender of this Warrant, with a duly executed copy of the Form of Assignment attached as Exhibit B, to the Secretary of the Company at its principal offices or at such other office or agency as the Company may specify in writing to the Holder, the Company shall register the transfer of all or any portion of this Warrant. Upon such registration of transfer, the Company shall issue a new Warrant, in substantially the form of this Warrant, evidencing the acquisition rights transferred to the transferee and a new Warrant, in similar form, evidencing the remaining acquisition rights not transferred, to the Holder requesting the transfer.

(b) Warrant Exchangeable for Different Denominations . The Holder may exchange this Warrant for a new Warrant or Warrants, in substantially the form of this Warrant, evidencing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares, which may then be purchased hereunder, each of such new Warrants to be dated the date of such exchange and to represent the right to purchase such number of Warrant Shares as shall be designated by the Holder. The Holder shall surrender this Warrant with duly executed instructions regarding such re-certification of this Warrant to the Secretary of the Company at its principal offices or at such other office or agency as the Company may specify in writing to the Holder.

(d) Permitted Transfers and Assignments . Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Section 4, the Holder may transfer, with or without consideration, this Warrant or any of the Warrant Shares (or a portion thereof) to the Holder’s Affiliates (as such term is defined under Rule 144 of the Securities Act) without obtaining the opinion from counsel that may be required by Section 4(c)(ii), provided, that the Holder delivers to the Company and its counsel certification, documentation, and other assurances reasonably required by the Company’s counsel to enable the Company’s counsel to render an opinion to the Company’s Transfer Agent that such transfer does not violate applicable securities laws.

 

4. MUTILATED OR MISSING WARRANT CERTIFICATE

(a) Purchaser is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Shares. Purchaser is purchasing the Shares for investment for its own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act.

(b) Purchaser understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption therefore, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Purchaser’s investment intent as expressed herein.

(c) Purchaser understands that the Shares are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, Purchaser must


hold the Shares indefinitely unless they are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify the Shares for resale. Purchaser further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Shares, and requirements relating to the Company which are outside of the Purchaser’s control, and which the Company is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy.

(d) Purchaser understands that Purchaser may suffer adverse tax consequences as a result of Purchaser’s purchase or disposition of the Shares. Purchaser represents that Purchaser has consulted any tax consultants Purchaser deems advisable in connection with the purchase or disposition of the Shares and that Purchaser is not relying on the Company for any tax advice.

 

  4. Restrictive Legends .

(a) Legends . The certificate or certificates representing the Shares shall bear the following legend (as well as any legends required by applicable state and federal corporate and securities laws):

 

  (i) THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF.

  (ii) Any legend required to be placed thereon by the California Commissioner of Corporations.

 

  5. Miscellaneous .

(a) Governing Law . This Agreement and all acts and transactions pursuant hereto and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed, construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law.

(b) Entire Agreement; Enforcement of Rights . This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter herein and merges all prior discussions between them. No modification of or amendment to this Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights under this Agreement, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the parties to this Agreement. The failure by either party to enforce any rights under this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any rights of such party.

 

-2-


 

(c) Severability . If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, the parties agree to renegotiate such provision in good faith. In the event that the parties cannot reach a mutually agreeable and enforceable replacement for such provision, then (i) such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement, (ii) the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and (iii) the balance of the Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

3. VALID ISSUANCE; TAXES . All shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.3 shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, consolidations, mergers, sales and transfers and to the stock or securities of any other corporation that are at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant. In all events, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder after the transaction, to the end that the provisions of this Warrant shall be applicable after that event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other property deliverable after that event upon exercise of this Warrant.

 

  4.4

Conversion of Common Stock . In case all or any portion of the authorized and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company are redeemed or converted or reclassified into other securities or property pursuant to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or otherwise, or the Common Stock otherwise ceases to exist, then, in such case, the Holder of this Warrant, upon exercise hereof at any time after the date on which the Common Stock is so redeemed or converted, reclassified or ceases to exist (the “ Termination Date ”), shall receive, in lieu of the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the Termination Date, the securities or property that would have been received if

6. RESERVATION OF COMMON STOCK . The Company hereby covenants that at all times there shall be reserved for issuance and delivery upon exercise of this Warrant such number of shares of Common Stock or other shares of capital stock of the Company as are from time to time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and, from time to time, will take all steps necessary to amend its Certificate of Incorporation to provide sufficient reserves of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.

Issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to the Company’s Officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.

 

7. TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE . Subject to the terms and conditions of this Warrant and compliance with all applicable securities laws, this Warrant and all rights hereunder may be transferred to any Registered Holder’s parent, subsidiary or affiliate or to any officer, director, partner or member of any such parent, subsidiary or affiliate, in whole or in part, on the books of the Company maintained for such purpose at the principal office of the Company referred to above, by the Registered Holder hereof in person, or by duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant properly endorsed and upon payment of any necessary transfer tax or other governmental charge imposed upon such transfer.

The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.3 shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, consolidations, mergers, sales and transfers and to the stock or securities of any


 

other corporation that are at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant. In all events, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder after the transaction, to the end that the provisions of this Warrant shall be applicable after that event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other property deliverable after that event upon exercise of this Warrant.

 

  4.4 Conversion of Common Stock . In case all or any portion of the authorized and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company are redeemed or converted or reclassified into other securities or property pursuant to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or otherwise, or the Common Stock otherwise ceases to exist, then, in such case, the Holder of this Warrant, upon exercise hereof at any time after the date on which the Common Stock is so redeemed or converted, reclassified or ceases to exist (the “ Termination Date ”), shall receive, in lieu of the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the Termination Date, the securities or property that would have been received if this Warrant had been exercised in full and the Common Stock received thereupon had been simultaneously converted immediately prior to the Termination Date, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Warrant. Additionally, the Purchase Price shall be immediately adjusted such that the aggregate Purchase Price of the maximum number of securities or other property for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after the Termination Date is equal to the aggregate Purchase Price of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant was exercisable immediately prior to the Termination Date, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

6. RESERVATION OF COMMON STOCK . The Company hereby covenants that at all times there shall be reserved for issuance and delivery upon exercise of this Warrant such number of shares of Common Stock or other shares of capital stock of the Company as are from time to time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and, from time to time, will take all steps necessary to amend its Certificate of Incorporation to provide sufficient reserves of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Warrant and compliance with all applicable securities laws, this Warrant and all rights hereunder may be transferred to any Registered Holder’s parent, subsidiary or affiliate or to any officer, director, partner or member of any such parent, subsidiary or affiliate, in whole or in part, on the books of the Company maintained for such purpose at the principal office of the Company referred to above, by the Registered Holder hereof in person, or by duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this Warrant properly endorsed and upon payment of any necessary transfer tax or other governmental charge imposed upon such transfer.

SINGLE TOUCH SYSTEMS, INC.

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

 

March 12, 2010

   Encinitas, California

For value received, Single Touch Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), hereby promises to pay to Mike Robert, (“ Lender ”), the principal amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) with simple interest thereon at the rate of five percent (12%) per annum on the unpaid balance of the principal sum. The Company shall make payment at such place as the Lender indicates. All principal and interest shall be payable, as provided for herein, in immediately available funds in lawful money of the United States of America. The principal amount of this convertible promissory note (the “ Note ”) is convertible into common stock (the “ Common Stock ”) of the Company as more fully set forth herein.

1. Estimated Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the proceeds from this Note for general working capital needs.

2. Maturity Date; Prepayment. The Note shall mature on September 30, 2010 (the “ Maturity Date ”), or such later date as agreed to in writing by Lender. Commencing on March 12, 2010, and provided the Lender consents in writing, the Company may, at any time, prepay the outstanding principal and accrued interest evidenced by this Note, in whole or in part, without penalty or premium, by paying to Lender, by check in immediately available federal funds, the amount of such prepayment, from the proceeds of the Company’s next round of financing. If any such prepayment is less than a full repayment, then such prepayment shall be applied first to the payment of accrued interest and the remaining balance shall be applied to the payment of principal.

3. Interest Payments. Simple interest shall accrue on the Note at the rate of five percent (12%) per annum. Annual interest payments shall be made to Lender by 5:00 p.m. PDT on June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2010 (and on a quarterly basis thereafter, assuming the Lender agrees, in writing, to extend the term of the Note beyond the Maturity Date) via check at the address


listed in the subscription agreement attached hereto as Appendix A. All payments (including prepayments) hereunder are to be applied first to the payment of accrued interest and the remaining balance shall be applied to the payment of principal. Accrued interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year, based on the actual number of days elapsed.

4. Voluntary Conversion.

4.1 The outstanding principal on this Note may, at the sole discretion of the Lender, be converted (in full or in part, at any time) into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company at the rate of $0.37 per share (the “ Conversion Rate ”); provided, however, in the event the Company undertakes an Additional Financing (as defined in Section 5.2 below), and the Additional Financing is undertaken at a price per share less than $0.37, then the Conversion Rate shall be subject to a full ratchet and reset at the price per share of the Additional Financing (the “ Reset Conversion Rate ”).

4.2 The Company shall promptly provide Lender written notice if the Company closes a financing (the “ Additional Financing ”) in the future involving the issuance of equity or the issuance of convertible debt securities (the “ Additional Securities ”). An Additional Financing shall not include the issuance of Common Stock under the Company’s stock option and incentive plan or otherwise to employees, consultants, advisors, or others for purposes other than financing the Company’s operations.

5. Mechanics of Conversion. Commencing on the date of issuance, the Lender may at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. PDT on the Maturity Date, convert the principal amount of this Note, or any portion thereof, into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company at the Conversion Rate, or the Reset Conversion Rate, as applicable. Such conversion shall be effected by the surrender of this Note at the principal office of the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as may be designated from time to time by written notice to the Lender) at any time during usual business hours, together with notice in writing that the Lender wishes to convert all, or a portion, of the principal amount of this Note, which notice shall also state the name(s) (with addresses) and denominations in which the certificate(s) for Common Stock shall be issued and shall include instructions for delivery thereof. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been effected as of the close of business on the date on which this Note shall have been surrendered and such notice shall have been received, and at such time (the “ Conversion Date ”) the rights of the Lender with respect to the principal amount of the Note converted shall cease and the person(s) in whose name(s) any certificate(s) for Common Stock are to be issued upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the Lender or Lenders of record of the shares of Common Stock represented by such certificate(s). No fractional shares of common stock shall be issued to Lender upon the conversion of the Note. The Company shall round up all note conversion calculations to the nearest whole share. As soon as practicable (but in no event more than twenty (20) calendar days following the Conversion Date), the Company shall deliver to the Lender, certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion registered in such name or names and such denomination or denominations as the Lender shall have specified. The Company shall also make payment to the Lender, in the form of cash, all accrued and outstanding interest due and payable as of the Conversion Date, calculated in the manner set forth in Section 4 hereof. In each case of conversion of this Note in part, the Company shall receive and hold this Note as a fiduciary agent of the Lender, and shall reissue the Note as of the Conversion Date in the amount represented by the remaining principal outstanding. Upon issuance of the new note, the original note shall be deemed null and void and of no legal effect.

6. Default. The Company shall be deemed in default if any of the following events occur: (a) the Company fails to pay all outstanding principal and accrued interest relating to the Note by the Maturity Date; (b) the entry of a decree or order by a court having appropriate jurisdiction adjudging the Company a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization or liquidation of Company under the Federal Bankruptcy Act or any other applicable federal or state law, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee or trustee over any substantial portion of Company’s property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the Company’s affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of sixty (60) consecutive days; (c) the institution by the Company of proceedings to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it, or the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under the Federal Bankruptcy Act or any other applicable federal or state law, or the consent by it to the filing of any such petition or to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee or trustee of Company; (d) default in the obligation of the Company for borrowed money, other than this Note, which shall continue for a period of sixty (60) days, or any event that results in acceleration of the maturity of any indebtedness of the Company under any note, indenture, contract, or agreement; (e) any representation or statement made or furnished to Lender by the Company or on the Company’s behalf is false or misleading in any material respect; or (f) any levy, seizure, attachment, lien, or encumbrance of or on the Company’s property, other than those existing as of the date hereof, which is not discharged by the Company within 20 days.

6.1 Cure . The Company shall be provided a period of five (5) calendar days from the date of an event of default, as defined in Section 8 above, to cure a default.

6.3 No Setoff, Etc . The obligations of the Company to pay the principal balance and interest due to the Lender shall be absolute and unconditional and the Company shall make such payment without abatement, diminution or deduction regardless of any cause or circumstances whatsoever including, without limitation, any defense, setoff, recoupment, or counterclaim which the Company may have or assert against the Lender or any other person.

6.4 Waiver of Presentment, Etc . The Company waives presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest and notice of nonpayment and protest.

6.5 Costs of Collection . The Company shall pay all costs and expenses of collection incurred by the Lender, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

7. Anti-Dilution Provisions. The Conversion Rate or the Reset Conversion Rate as the case may be, shall be subject to appropriate adjustment so as to protect the rights of Lender upon the occurrence on or after the issuance of the Note of any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, reclassification, merger, combination, consolidation or other similar transaction.

11.1.1 Risk Factors . The following risk factors should be reviewed in detail prior to making an investment decision regarding the Note.

AN INVESTMENT IN THE NOTED INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. THE FOLLOWING FACTORS SHOULD BE CAREFULLY CONSIDERED PRIOR TO MAKING AN INVESTMENT IN THE NOTE.

Risk Factors Related To Our Business

The Company has a limited operating history and has experienced operating losses since its inception

Since its inception, the Company has realized several million dollars in operating losses. The Company is a development stage entity and is in the process of fully implementing its planned principal operations. The Company’s continued operations are dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient revenues from operations and obtain further financing, including the sale of the Notes. If the Company is unable to generate sufficient revenues and obtain sufficient financing from the sale of the Notes, its current business plans could fail and its financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

The Company’s capitalization is limited and it may need additional funds beyond the sale of Notes

A limiting factor on the growth of the Company, including its ability to penetrate new markets, attract new customers and deliver new products in a timely matter, is the limited capitalization of the Company compared to other companies in the industry. The Company believes that currently available capital resources, including the net proceeds from the sale of Notes, assuming $3,000,000 is received, will be adequate to fund its operations and business objectives for 12 months. There can be no assurance, however, that the net proceeds from this Offering will provide sufficient funds for the Company to achieve all of its proposed objectives or that the Company will not require additional financing. In addition, there can be no assurance that the maximum offering amount of $5,000,000 will be realized. If additional funding in the form of equity or convertible debt is not available on reasonable terms, the Company may not achieve its revenue and profit objectives. Delays in meeting the anticipated funding schedule may affect the ability of the Company to fully implement its business plan. Further, if additional funds are procured through the issuance of additional equity or convertible debt securities, investors in the Notes will experience dilution.

The Company is extremely dependent on its President and Chief Executive Officer, Anthony Macaluso, as well as other members of its executive management team

The Company’s future performance will be substantially dependent on the continued services of Mr. Macaluso and on the performance of other senior management and key personnel. The Company’s performance also depends on its ability to attract, retain and motivate additional management and key employees. The loss of the services of Mr. Macaluso or any other key personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

 

6


 

The Company faces competition from companies that have substantially greater capital and marketing resources than the Company

While the Company believes that it is a pioneer in its sector, and that there are very few companies, if any, who offer the broad applications of the Company’s products, potential competitors for the Company include companies with generally longer operating histories, greater name recognition, larger customer bases and significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than the Company. Such competition could materially adversely affect the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition. As a result, the Company will be competing for customers with other companies offering similar or alternative products and services that may have greater name recognition, more proprietary products, and a larger existing customer base.

The Company’s revenues are difficult to predict given that a large percentage of the Company’s future revenues will come from emerging markets

It is not feasible to predict with assurance the timing or the amount of revenues that the Company will receive from the sale, or license, of its products. Any substantial delay in the introduction of products could result in significant delays in revenues, the need to raise additional capital through the issuance of additional equity or debt securities sooner than the Company intends, and may allow competitors to reach certain of such markets with products before the Company. In view of the emerging nature of the technology involved in certain of these markets, and the attendant uncertainty as to whether the Company’s products will achieve meaningful commercial acceptance, if at all, there can be no assurance that the Company will realize revenues sufficient to achieve profitability.

If the Company fails to obtain strategic partnerships with key players in need of its products, the Company’s results of operation will be adversely affected

If the Company is unsuccessful in creating strategic partnerships with large companies in its sector, the amount of revenues realizable will not be significant and the Company’s overall business, financial condition and results of operations will be materially adversely affected.

Although the Company has entered into confidentiality and non-compete agreements with its key employees and consultants, if it is unable to protect its proprietary information against unauthorized use by others, its competitive position could be harmed

The Company’s proprietary information is critically important to its competitive position and is a significant aspect of the products it provides. If the Company is unable to protect its proprietary information against unauthorized use by others, its competitive position could be harmed. The Company generally enters into confidentiality and non-compete agreements with its employees and consultants, and controls access to, and distribution of, its documentation and other proprietary information. Despite these precautions, the Company cannot assure you that these strategies will be adequate to prevent misappropriation of its proprietary information in all cases. Therefore, the Company could be required to expend significant amounts to defend its rights to proprietary information in the future if a breach were to occur.

An investor who acquires Notes will immediately incur significant dilution in the book value of our Common Stock

Because the current book value per share of the Company’s Common Stock is significantly lower than the Conversion Rate of the Notes, current stockholders of the Company will receive an immediate increase in net book value per share and the Lender will experience immediate dilution in book value per share.

The Company anticipates issuing additional stock options to employees and consultants in the future

The Company has adopted a stock option and incentive plan for its employees, officers, directors and key consultants. Because stock options granted under the plan will generally only be exercised when the exercise price for such option is below the then market value of the Common Stock, the exercise of such options will cause dilution to the book value per share of the Company’s Common Stock.

The Company does not presently intend to pay dividends on its Common Stock in the foreseeable future

The Company’s future earnings will be reinvested and used for working capital purposes. Thus, upon the conversion of the Note, the Lender should not expect to receive dividends on the shares of Common Stock issued in conjunction therewith.

Risk Factors Relating to the Offering

There is limited liquidity in the Notes

The Notes may only be resold if registered under the Act, or pursuant to an exemption from registration thereunder, including Rule 144. Rule 144 is only available if there is a public market for the Company’s securities and the public availability of current information regarding the Company. Transfer of the Notes may also be restricted by state “blue sky” securities laws. As a result, investors should be aware that in the absence of registration of the Notes with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof, or the availability of an exemption from registration, the Notes and the shares of Common Stock underlying the Notes, must be held by the purchasers thereof for an indefinite period of time.

Following a fully subscribed offering of $5,000,000, our executive officers and members of our board of directors will beneficially own more than 40% of the issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock and could limit the ability of our other stockholders to influence the outcome of director elections and other transactions submitted to a vote of stockholders

Immediately following the offering, and assuming we realize $5,000,000 from the sale of the Notes, the executive officers and board of directors will beneficially own more than 40% of the issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock. These stockholders will have the power to influence all matters requiring approval by our stockholders, including the election of directors and approval of mergers and other significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company.

12. No Recourse Against Individuals. Lender shall have no recourse for the repayment of the principal of, or interest on, this Note against any past, present, or future incorporator, stockholder, officer, director, employee, agent, or attorney of the Company in the absence of an express written agreement with such person to the contrary.

13. Governing Law and Venue. This Note is delivered in and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to any rules that would apply the law of another jurisdiction. Venue shall lie exclusively in Delaware. The parties agree that their respective obligations are to be performed in Delaware.

14. Notices. Any notice pursuant to this Note to be given or made by the Lender to or upon the Company shall be sufficiently made if sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, addressed (until another address is sent by the Company to the Lender) as follows:

Single Touch Interactive, Inc.

2235 Encinitas Blvd. Suite 228

Encinitas, CA 92024

15. Register of Notes. The Company shall keep at its principal office (or such other place the Company reasonably designates) a register for the Notes. Each transfer of the Notes (if permitted), conversion thereof into Common Stock and payment thereunder as well as the name and address of the Lender shall be noted on the register of Notes. The register shall be made available by the Company for review by the Lender or his agent during usual business hours of the Company.

16. Modification and Waiver. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Note shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing signed by the Lender and then such modification or waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance for the specific purpose given.

17. Counterparts. This Note may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original against any Party whose signature appears thereon, and all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. This Note shall become binding when one or more counterparts hereof, individually or taken together, shall bear the signatures of all of the Parties reflected hereon as the signatories.

18. Other .

18.1 Registration Rights .

18.1.1 Inclusion of Registrable Securities . If (but without any obligation to do so) the Company proposes to register (including for this purpose a registration effected by the Company for stockholders other than the Lenders) any of its stock or other securities under the Act in connection with a public offering of such securities solely for cash, the Company shall, at such time, promptly give Lender written notice of such registration. Upon the written request of Lender within twenty (20) days following mailing of such notice by the Company, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 20.2.2, cause to be registered under the Act all of the shares of Common Stock issuable to Lender upon the conversion of the Note (the “ Registrable Securities ”) that Lender requests, in writing, to be registered.

18.1.2 Underwriting Requirements . In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of Common Stock, the Company shall not be required under this Section 20.2.2 to include any of the Lender’s Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note unless they accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by it (or by other persons entitled to select the underwriters), and then only in such quantity as the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company. If the underwriters, in their sole discretion, determine and advise in writing the Company and the Lenders of the Registrable Securities requesting participation in such registration that in their good faith judgment the number of shares of Registrable Securities and the other securities requested to be registered wider this Section 20.2.2 exceeds the maximum amount of Common Stock which can be marketed (giving first priority to Common Stock to be issued by the Company in such underwriting, but giving priority to the shares requested to be included in the offering pursuant to this Section 20.2.2 over all other shares proposed to he included therein), then the Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of shares of Common Stock, including Registrable Securities, which the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering and the securities so included shall be apportioned pro rata among the participating Lender according to the total amount of securities entitled to be included therein owned by each participating Lender. For purposes of such apportionment, for any participating Lender that is a partnership or corporation, the partners, retired partners and stockholders of such Lender, or the estates and family members of any such partners and retired partners and any trusts for the benefit of any of the Foregoing persons shall be deemed to be a single participating Lender, and any pro-rata reduction with respect to such participating Lender shall be based upon the aggregate amount of shares of Common Stock carrying registration rights owned by all persons included in such participating Lender.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this Note as of the date first written above.

If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the actual number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon such an exercise, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than five (5) Business Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue a new Warrant of like tenor representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised.

(d) Disputes . In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Shares, the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 15.

(b) The Company shall register this Warrant upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose in the name of the record holder of such Warrant from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner thereof for the purpose of any exercise thereof, any distribution to the Holder thereof and for all other purposes.

(c) The Company will not, by amendment of its articles of incorporation, by-laws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the taking of all action necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder to exercise this Warrant, or against impairment of such rights.

(i) Dividends in Stock, Properly, Reclassification . If at any time, or from time to time, the holders of Common Stock (or any shares of stock or other securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall have received or become entitled to receive, without payment therefore:

(A) any shares of stock or other securities that are at any time directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or any rights or options to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any of the foregoing by way of dividend or other distribution, or

(ii) Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale . If any recapitalization, reclassification or reorganization of the capital stock of the Company, or any consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets or other transaction shall be effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or other assets or property (an “ Organic Change ”), then lawful and adequate provisions shall be made by the Company whereby the Holder hereof shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive (in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock of the Company immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant) such shares of stock, securities or other assets or property as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of outstanding shares of such Common Stock equal to the number of shares of such stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable assuming the full exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant. In the event of any Organic Change, appropriate provision shall be made by the Company with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder of this Warrant to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustments of the Exercise Price and of the number of shares purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall thereafter be applicable, in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the exercise hereof. To the extent necessary to effect the foregoing provisions, the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing such assets shall assume by written instrument reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder executed and mailed or delivered to the registered Holder hereof at the last address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company, the obligation to deliver to such Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such Holder may be entitled to purchase. If there is an Organic Change, then the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear on the books and records of the Company, at least 10 calendar days before the effective date of the Organic Change, a notice stating the date on which such Organic Change is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the

 

4


Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares for securities, cash, or other property delivered upon such Organic Change; provided, 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. The Holder is entitled to exercise this Warrant during the 10-day period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice. In any event, the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing such assets shall be deemed to assume such obligation to deliver to such Holder such shares of stock, securities or assets even in the absence of a written instrument assuming such obligation to the extent such assumption occurs by operation of law.

(d) Certificate as to Adjustments . Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment pursuant to this Section 3, the Company at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each Holder of this Warrant a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based.

(e) Certain Events . If any event occurs as to which the other provisions of this Section 3 are not strictly applicable but the lack of any adjustment would not fairly protect the purchase rights of the Holder under this Warrant in accordance with the basic intent and principles of such provisions, or if strictly applicable would not fairly protect the purchase rights of the Holder under this Warrant in accordance with the basic intent and principles of such provisions, then the Company’s Board of Directors will, in good faith and subject to applicable law, make an appropriate adjustment to protect the rights of the Holder; provided, that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 3(c) will increase the Exercise Price or decrease the number of Warrant Shares as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 3.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Single Touch Interactive, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Obligor”), hereby promises to pay to the order of Anthony Macaluso, P.O. Box 7034 Rancho Santa Fe, CA 92067 (the “Holder”), the principal sum of One Hundred Fifty One Thousand Three Hundred Sixty Seven Dollars ($151,367) payable as set forth below. The Obligor also promises to pay to the order of the Holder interest on the principal amount hereof at a rate of 1% per annum, which interest shall be payable monthly. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of the year of 365 days and for the number of days actually elapsed. The payments of principal and interest hereunder shall be made in coin or currency of the United States of America which at the time of payment shall be legal tender therein for the payment of public and private debts.

This Note shall be subject to the following additional terms and conditions:

1. Payments . Subject to Section 2 hereof, all principal shall be due on demand of the Holder or hereunder in one (1) installment on July 27, 2011 (the “Maturity Date”). In the event that any payment to be made hereunder shall be or become due on Saturday, Sunday or any other day which is a legal bank holiday under the laws of the Unites States, such payment shall be or become due on the next succeeding business day.

2. Prepayment . The Obligor and the Holder understand and agree that the principal amount of this Note may not be prepaid by the Obligor prior to the maturity date without the express written consent of the Holder. Such consent shall be at the sole discretion of the holder.

 

  3. Conversion .

(a) This Note, excluding accrued interest, shall be convertible into shares of the Obligor’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), at a conversion price of Thirty Seven Cents ($0.37) per share (the “Conversion Price”) at the option of the Holder in whole or in part at any time. The Holder shall effect conversions by surrendering to


the Company the Note and by delivering to the Company a conversion notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Holder Conversion Notice”). Each Holder Conversion Notice shall specify the amount of principal and interest to be converted and the date on which such conversion is to be effected, which date may not be prior to the date the Holder delivers such Holder Conversion Notice by facsimile (the “Conversion Date”). If the Holder is converting less than the entire principal and interest amount of this Note, then the Obligor shall deliver to the Holder a new Note for such principal and interest amount as has not been converted with two (2) business days of the Conversion Date. Each Holder Conversion Notice, once given, shall be irrevocable.

(b) Not later than five (5) business days after the Conversion Date, the Obligor will deliver, or will cause to be delivered, to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion of all or a portion of the principal amount of this Note, including certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock as equals the accrued but unpaid interest thereon divided by the Conversion Price.

(c) Certificates representing shares of Common Stock to be delivered upon a conversion hereunder may bear restrictive legends and may be subject to trading restrictions on the stock transfer books of the Obligor. The Obligor shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note until the Note is delivered for conversion to the Company, or until the Holder notifies the Obligor that this Note has been lost, stolen or destroyed and provides a bond and other supporting documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Obligor (or other adequate security reasonably acceptable to the Obligor).

(d) The Obligor covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, or its authorized and issued Common Stock held in its treasury, solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Note and payment of interest on this Note, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder, such number of shares of Common Stock as is equal to the number of shares of Common Stock as shall be issuable upon the conversion of the principal amount of this Note. The Obligor covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issuance thereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid, and nonassessable.

(e) Upon a conversion hereunder the Obligor shall not be required to issue stock certificates representing fractions of shares of Common Stock, but may either make a cash payment in respect of any final fraction of a share based on the Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share of Common Stock.

(f) The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note shall be made without charge to the Holder for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificate, provided that the Obligor shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the original Holder.

4. No Waiver .
