Spescom Software Inc., a California corporation (the “Company”), hereby confirms its agreement with Monarch Pointe Fund, Ltd. (“Monarch”), Mercator Momentum Fund III, L.P. (“MMF” and, together with Monarch, the “Purchasers”) and M.A.G. Capital, LLC (“MAG”), as set forth below.

1. The Securities. Subject to the terms and conditions herein contained, the Company proposes to issue and sell (a) to the Purchasers an aggregate of Two Thousand Four Hundred Fifty (2,450) shares of its Series I Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series I Stock”), which shall be convertible into shares (the “Conversion Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Common Stock”) in accordance with the formula set forth in the Certificate of Determination further described below and (b) to the Purchasers and MAG, warrants, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Warrants”), to acquire up to an aggregate of 925,926 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”), in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 3 hereof. The rights, preferences and privileges of the Series I Stock are as set forth in the Certificate of Determination of Series I Preferred Stock, as amended, as filed with the Secretary of State of the State of California (the “Certificate of Determination”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. The number of Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares that either of the Purchasers or MAG may acquire at any time is subject to limitation in the Certificate of Determination and in the Warrants, respectively, so that the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock of which such Purchaser or MAG and all persons affiliated with such Purchaser or MAG have beneficial ownership (calculated pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) does not at any time exceed 9.99% of the Company’s then outstanding Common Stock.

The Series I Stock and the Warrants are sometimes herein collectively referred to as the “Securities.” This Agreement, the Certificate of Determination, and the Registration Rights Agreement by and among the Company, the Purchasers and MAG, entered into concurrently herewith and attached hereto as Exhibit C, are sometimes herein collectively referred to as the “Transaction Documents.”

The Securities will be offered and sold to the Purchasers and MAG without such offers and sales being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (together with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) promulgated thereunder, the “Securities Act”), in reliance on exemptions therefrom.

In connection with the sale of the Securities, the Company has made available (including electronically via the SEC’s XXXXX system) to the Purchasers and MAG its periodic and current reports, forms, schedules, proxy statements and other documents (including exhibits and all other information incorporated by reference) filed with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2005, as amended, its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2005 and all subsequent reports, forms, schedules, statements, documents, filings and amendments filed by the Company with the SEC under the Exchange Act, are collectively referred to as the “Disclosure Documents.” All references in this Agreement to financial statements and schedules and other information which is “contained,” “included” or “stated” in the Disclosure Documents (or other references of like import) shall be deemed to mean and include all such financial statements and schedules, documents, exhibits and other information which is incorporated by reference in the Disclosure Documents.

2. Representations and Warranties of the Company.

(a) The Disclosure Documents as of their respective dates did not, and will not (after giving effect to any updated disclosures therein) as of the Closing Date, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Disclosure Documents and the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein, at the time they were filed or hereafter are filed with the SEC, complied and will comply, at the time of filing, in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and/or the Exchange Act, as the case may be, as applicable.

(a) Each of the Purchasers and MAG represents and warrants to the Company that the Securities to be acquired by it hereunder (including the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares that it may acquire upon conversion or exercise of the Series I Stock or the Warrants, respectively) are being acquired for their own account for investment and with no

intention of distributing or reselling such Securities (including the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares that it may acquire upon conversion or exercise thereof, as the case may be) or any part thereof or interest therein in any transaction which would be in violation of the securities laws of the United States of America or any State. Nothing in this Agreement, however, shall prejudice or otherwise limit the right of each Purchaser or MAG to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares under an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and in compliance with applicable state securities laws or under an exemption from such registration. By executing this Agreement, each Purchaser and MAG further represents that such Purchaser or MAG, as the case may be, does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participation to any person with respect to any of the Securities.

(b) Each of the Purchasers and MAG understands that the Securities (including the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares that it may acquire upon conversion or exercise thereof, as the case may be) have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred except (a) pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act (and, if requested by the Company, based upon an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Company) or pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and (b) in accordance with all applicable securities laws of the states of the United States and other jurisdictions.

Each of the Purchasers and MAG agrees to the imprinting, so long as appropriate, of the following legend on the Securities (including the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares that it may acquire upon conversion or exercise thereof, as the case may be):

The shares of stock evidenced by this certificate have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred (“transferred”) in the absence of such registration or an applicable exemption therefrom. In the absence of such registration, such shares may not be transferred unless, if the Company requests, the Company has received a written opinion from counsel in form and substance satisfactory to the Company stating that such transfer is being made in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws.

The legend set forth above may be removed if and when the Conversion Shares or the Warrant Shares, as the case may be, are disposed of pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or in the opinion of counsel to the Company experienced in the area of United States Federal securities laws such legends are no longer required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act. The Series I Stock, the Warrants, the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares shall also bear any other legends required by applicable Federal or state securities laws, which legends may be removed when in the opinion of counsel to the Company experienced in the applicable securities laws, the same are no longer required under the applicable requirements of such securities laws. The Company agrees that it will provide either Purchaser or MAG, upon request, with a substitute certificate, not bearing such legend at such time as such legend is no longer applicable. Each of the Purchasers and MAG agrees that, in connection with any transfer of the Conversion Shares or the Warrant Shares by it pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, such Purchaser or MAG, as the case

may be, will comply with all prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The Company makes no representation, warranty or agreement as to the availability of any exemption from registration under the Securities Act with respect to any resale of the Series I Stock, the Warrants, the Conversion Shares or the Warrant Shares.

(c) Each of the Purchasers and MAG represents and warrants to the Company that it is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act and that neither such Purchaser nor MAG is an “underwriter” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Each of the Purchasers and MAG represents and warrants to the Company that neither such Purchaser nor MAG learned of the opportunity to acquire Securities or any other security issuable by the Company through any form of general advertising or public solicitation.

(d) Each of the Purchasers and MAG represents and warrants to the Company that it has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Securities, having been represented by counsel, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment and is able to bear the economic risk of such investment and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

(e) Each of the Purchasers and MAG represents and warrants to the Company that its overall commitment to investments which are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to its net worth, and its purchase of the Securities will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive.

(f) Each of the Purchasers and MAG recognizes that the purchase of the Securities involves a high degree of risk.

(g) Each of the Purchasers and MAG represents and warrants to the Company that all information it has provided to the Company including, but not limited to, its financial position and its knowledge of financial and business matters is true, correct and complete as of the date of execution of this Subscription Agreement.

Each of the Purchasers and MAG understands that the Company will rely to a material degree upon the representations contained therein.

(h) Each of the Purchasers and MAG represents and warrants to the Company that (i) the purchase of the Securities to be purchased by it has been duly and properly authorized and this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by it or on its behalf and constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser or MAG, enforceable against such Purchaser or MAG in accordance with its terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions, (ii) the purchase of the Securities to be purchased by it does not conflict with or violate its charter, by-laws or any law, regulation or court order applicable to it; and (iii) the purchase of the Securities to be purchased by it does not impose any penalty or other onerous condition on such Purchaser or MAG under or pursuant to any applicable law or governmental regulation.

7. Covenants of Purchasers.

(a) Not to Short Sell Stock. Each of the Purchasers and MAG, on behalf of itself, its affiliates, its successors and assigns and any other direct or indirect transferee holding any of the Warrants, the Series I Stock or the Registrable Securities, hereby covenants and agrees not to, directly or indirectly, offer to “short sell”, contract to “short sell” or otherwise “short sell” or encourage others to “short sell” the securities of the Company, including, without limitation, shares of Common Stock that will be received as a result of the conversion of the Series I Stock or the exercise of the Warrants.

8. Termination.

(a) This Agreement may be terminated in the sole discretion of the Company by notice to Purchasers and MAG if at the Closing Date:

(i) the representations and warranties made by either Purchaser or MAG in Section 6 are not true and correct in all material respects; or

(ii) as to the Company, the sale of the Securities hereunder (i) is prohibited or enjoined by any applicable law or governmental regulation or (ii) subjects the Company to any penalty, or in its reasonable judgment, other onerous condition under or pursuant to any applicable law or government regulation that would materially reduce the benefits to the Company of the sale of the Securities to Purchasers, so long as such regulation, law or onerous condition was not in effect in such form at the date of this Agreement.

(b) This Agreement may be terminated by either Purchaser or by MAG by notice to the Company given in the event that the Company shall have failed, refused or been unable to satisfy all material conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied hereunder on or prior to the Closing Date, or if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and immediately prior to the Closing Date, trading in securities of the Company on the OTC BB shall have been suspended.

9. Registration. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”), covering the resale of the maximum number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Series I Stock then issued to Purchasers and the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (collectively, the “Registrable Securities”), within thirty (30) days following the Closing Date, as set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.

10. Redemption. At any time after the Closing, the Company may, at its option, issue a redemption notice to the Purchasers and MAG (a “Redemption Notice”) providing that the Company (or its designee) will purchase all or a portion of the outstanding Series I Stock and Warrants (including any Common Stock issued upon the conversion of the Series I Stock or exercise of the Warrants). The Redemption Notice shall specify (a) the redemption date (the “Redemption Date”), which date shall be at least five (5) trading days after the date the Redemption Notice is received by Purchasers and MAG, and (b) the number of shares of Series I Stock and/or Warrants to be redeemed. The redemption price for the Series I Stock shall equal $1500 per share (or the equivalent value on an as-converted basis for each share of Common Stock). The redemption price per share for the Warrants shall equal 150% of the exercise price per share. Unless full payment is received by Purchasers and MAG within three (3) trading days after the Redemption Date, the Redemption Notice shall be void.

11. Event of Default. If an Event of Default (as defined below) occurs and remains uncured for a period of 15 days, the Purchasers and MAG shall have the right to exercise any or all of the rights given to the Purchasers and MAG relating to the Securities, as further described in the Certificate of Determination. In addition, the Conversion Price (as defined in the Certificate of Determination) shall be reduced from 85% of the Market Price (as defined in

the Certificate of Determination) to 75% of the Market Price, subject to the Ceiling Price and Floor Price as those terms are defined in the Certificate of Determination.

Neither Purchaser need provide and the Company hereby waives any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, and either Purchaser may immediately and without expiration of any grace period enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other remedies available to it under applicable law. Such declaration may be rescinded and annulled by such Purchaser at any time prior to payment hereunder. No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

An “Event of Default” shall include the commencement by the Company of a voluntary case or proceeding under the bankruptcy laws or the Company’s failure to: (i) discharge or stay a bankruptcy proceeding within 60 days of such action being taken against the Company, (ii) file the Registration Statement with the SEC within thirty (30) days following the Closing Date, (iii) maintain trading of the Company’s Common Stock on the OTC BB except for any periods when the stock is listed on the NASDAQ Small Stock Market, the NASDAQ National Stock Market, the AMEX or the NYSE; or (iv) deliver to either Purchaser, or such Purchaser’s broker, as directed, Common Stock that such Purchaser has converted within three (3) business days of such conversion.
