 COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT 
 This Common Stock Purchase
Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made as of December 13, 2009, by and between Single Touch Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Mike Robert, an investor (the

 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.
