by
and among
SOUTHPEAK
INTERACTIVE CORPORATION,
AND
THE
PURCHASER INDENTIFIED HEREIN
As
of May 5, 2010
This
Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated as
of May 5, 2010, by and among SouthPeak Interactive Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (“Company”), and the
purchasers whose names appear on the signature pages attached hereto (each an
“Purchaser”,
and collectively, the “Purchasers”).
Whereas,
each Purchaser is a holder of one or more of the Company’s Class W warrants (the
“Class W
Warrants”) and/or Class Z warrants (the “Class Z Warrants,”
and with the Class W Warrants, the “Warrants”);
Whereas,
the Warrants are exercisable at various strike prices that exceed the current
trading price of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”);
and
Whereas,
in order to enhance the liquidity of the Purchasers’ holdings and reduce the
number of Warrants outstanding, the Company and the Purchasers wish to cause the
Warrants to be converted into shares of Common Stock.
Now,
Therefore, in consideration of the foregoing, and the representations,
warranties, and conditions set forth below, the parties hereto, intending to be
legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
1. Subscription. Subject
to the terms and conditions hereof, the Company and each Purchaser, severally
and not jointly, agree as follows:
(a) Stock Purchase; Warrant
Conversion. Each Purchaser hereby subscribes for the aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock set forth on the applicable signature page
attached hereto (the “Conversion
Shares”). Each Conversion Share shall be issued in exchange
for that number and class of Warrants and amount of cash in accordance with the
following:
(i) one
Conversion Share for six Class Z Warrants and $0.15;
(ii) one
Conversion Share for twenty-five Class Z Warrants; or
(iii) one
Conversion Share for one hundred Class W Warrants and $0.25.
(b) Delivery. The
Conversion Shares shall be issued in exchange for Warrants and cash at one or
more closings (each, a “Closing”) to be held
at such place and time as Company and the Purchasers participating in such
Closing may determine (the “Closing
Date”). At each such Closing, the Company shall issue to each
of the Purchasers participating in such Closing a stock certificate representing
the number of Conversion Shares subscribed for by such Purchaser, against such
Purchaser’s tender of that number and class of Warrants held by such Purchaser
and payment of cash necessary to satisfy such Purchaser’s subscription for
Conversion Shares. The tender of Warrants by any Purchaser may be
accomplished through (a) the delivery of physical certificates representing
Warrants, (b) electronic delivery using the Depository Trust Company’s DWAC
(Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) System in accordance with the instructions set
forth on Exhibit
A, or (c) a combination of the delivery methods set forth in items (a)
and (b) above.
(c) Termination of Obligations
under Warrants. Each Purchaser understands and agrees that all
obligations of the Company pursuant such Purchaser’s Warrants shall terminate
and shall be without any further force of effect upon the applicable
Closing. Such obligations of the Company terminated, cancelled and
released upon the Closing include, without limitation, (i) any and all
obligations to issue shares of Common Stock upon exercise or conversion of such
Warrants, and (ii) any claims, obligations or other liabilities of the Company
which may have accrued or which may in the future have accrued, pursuant to such
Warrants.
(d) Lost
Warrants. In the event that any Purchaser is unable to locate
or retrieve any Warrant and tender such Warrant at the Closing, such Purchaser
shall execute and deliver a lost instrument affidavit in a form provided by the
Company’s registrar and transfer agent certifying that such Warrant cannot be
located and indemnifying the Company and its registrar and transfer agent
against any claim or loss arising out of failure to tender such
Warrant.
(e) Company’s Right to Reject
Subscriptions and/or Terminate Offering. Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement or in any document or instrument delivered pursuant
hereto, the Company shall have the right in it sole discretion, upon notice to
each applicable Purchaser, at any time prior to the applicable Closing, to: (i)
reject such Purchaser’s subscription in whole or in part, and (ii) to terminate
the offering of Conversion Shares effected pursuant hereto.
2. Representation and
Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby represents and
warrants to each Purchaser as of the Closing Date, the following:

Qualification. The Company is a corporation duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware
and has the requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate
its assets and properties and to carry on its business as it is now being or
currently planned by the Company to be conducted. The Company is not
in violation of any of the provisions of its certificate of incorporation and
bylaws.
(b) Capitalization. The
Company’s periodic reports on Form 10-Q and Form 10-K and current reports on
Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) accurately
reflect its capitalization as of the dates indicated in such
reports. The issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company
(i) has been duly and validly issued; (ii) is fully paid and
nonassessable; and (iii) was not issued in violation of any preemptive
rights or rights of first refusal or first offer.
(c) Authority Relative to this
Agreement. The Company has full corporate power and authority
to: (i) execute, deliver and perform this Agreement, (ii) issue and sell
the Conversion Shares to the Purchasers hereunder, and (iii) carry out the
Company’s obligations hereunder and thereunder and, to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby. The execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated
hereby have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action
on the part of the Company, and no other corporate proceedings on the part of
the Company are necessary to authorize this Agreement or to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly and
validly executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming the due
authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the other parties hereto,
constitutes the legal and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against
it in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or other similar Laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of
equity.
- 2

(d) Valid Issuance of the
Conversion Shares. The Conversion Shares to be issued to the
Purchasers hereunder, when issued, sold and delivered in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement for the consideration expressed herein, will be duly and
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free of restrictions on transfer
other than restrictions on transfer under this Agreement and applicable state

federal securities laws, and will not be subject to any preemptive rights or
other similar rights.
(e) No Conflict; Required

execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company do not, and the
performance of this Agreement by the Company shall not (A) conflict with or
violate the Company’s certificate or incorporation or bylaws, (B) conflict with
or violate any law or any rule or regulation of the Over-the-Counter bulletin
board, (C) result in any breach of or constitute a default (or an event that
with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or
materially impair the Company’s rights or alter the rights or obligations of any
third party under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment,
acceleration or cancellation of, or result in the creation of a lien on any of
the properties or assets of the Company pursuant to, any contracts to which the
Company is a party or by or to which any of the properties or assets of the
Company may be bound, subject or affected, or (D) result in the triggering,
acceleration or increase of any payment to any person pursuant to any contracts
to which the Company is a party or by or to which any of the properties or
assets of the Company may be bound, subject or affected, including any “change
in control” or similar provision thereof, except, with respect to clauses (B),
(C) or (D), for any such conflicts, violations, breaches, defaults, triggers,
accelerations, increases or other occurrences that would not, individually or in
the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.
(ii) The
execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company do not, and the
performance of its respective obligations hereunder will not, require any
consent, approval, authorization or permit of, or filing with or notification
to, any government or political subdivision or any agency, authority, bureau,
central bank, commission, department or instrumentality of either, or any court,
tribunal, grand jury or arbitrator, in each case whether foreign or domestic,

Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), state
securities and blue sky laws, and the rules and regulations thereunder, and
appropriate documents with the relevant authorities of other jurisdictions in
which the Company is qualified to do business, and (B) where the failure to
obtain such consents, approvals, authorizations or permits, or to make such
filings or notifications, would not, individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company, or
prevent consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby or otherwise prevent
the parties hereto from performing their obligations under this
Agreement.

(iii) “Material Adverse
Effect” means any change, event, violation, inaccuracy, circumstance or
effect, individually or when aggregated with other changes, events, violations,
inaccuracies, circumstances or effects, that is materially adverse to the

business prospects of an entity and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, except
to the extent resulting from: (A) changes in general industry or economic
conditions, (B) adverse effects arising from the announcement or consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby, or (C) changes to generally accepted
accounting principles that apply generally to the industry in which the entity
operates.
(f) Reporting Company
Status. The Company is subject to the reporting requirements
of the Exchange Act and the Company has taken no action designed to, or which to
its knowledge is likely to, have the effect of, terminating the registration of
the Common Stock under the Exchange Act nor has the Company received any
notification that the SEC is contemplating terminating such
registration. The Common Stock is traded on the Over-the-Counter
bulletin board and the Company has not received any notice regarding, and to the
Company’s knowledge there is no threat of, the termination or discontinuance of
the eligibility of the Common Stock for such trading.

Reports. Except as otherwise disclosed in any SEC Reports, as of
their respective dates, the SEC Reports complied in all material respects with
the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder, and none of the SEC Reports, when
filed, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading. The financial statements of Company included in the
SEC Reports were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved, except as
may be otherwise specified in such financial statements or the notes thereto,
and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of Company
and its consolidated subsidiaries as of and for the dates thereof and the
results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in the
case of unaudited statements, to normal, immaterial, year-end audit
adjustments.
(h) Offering
Exemption. Assuming the truth and accuracy of the
representations and warranties contained in Section 3, the offer
and sale of the Conversion Shares as contemplated hereby and the issuance and
delivery to the Purchasers of the Conversion Shares are exempt from registration
under the Securities Act, and will be registered or qualified (or exempt from
registration or qualification) under applicable state securities and blue sky
laws, as currently in effect.

into by or on behalf of the Company.
3. Representation and
Warranties of the Purchasers. As of the Closing Date, each
Purchaser severally and not jointly hereby represents and warrants to the

liability company power and authority to invest in the purchase the Conversion
Shares pursuant to this Agreement.

Shares pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act, and

Agreement.

such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only
in certain limited circumstances. Such Purchaser acknowledges that the
Conversion Shares will bear the following legend or similar legend as

option) with respect to the Common Stock or with respect to any security that

Transaction”). Such Purchaser acknowledges that the

Nonassignability; Parties in Interest. This Agreement and the
documents and instruments and other agreements specifically referred to herein

respective Purchaser’s domicile or otherwise, shall in no way affect or impair
