The Option shall terminate and may no longer be exercised if Employee willfully engages in misconduct which causes substantial injury to the Company or its affiliates, its employees or the employees of its affiliates or its clients or the clients of its affiliates, whether monetarily or otherwise.  For purposes of this paragraph, no action or failure to act on Employee's part shall be considered "willful" unless done or omitted to be done, by Employee in bad faith and without reasonable belief that his or her action or omission was in the best interests of the Company.  The Option may be exercised at any time within 12 months after Employee's death by the personal representatives or administrators of Employee, as applicable or by any person or persons to whom the Option is transferred by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution, and shall expire on the first anniversary of Employee's death.

(c) No Right to Employment/Consulting.  The grant of the Option shall not be construed as giving Employee the right to be retained in the employ of, to continue serving as an Employee to, or as giving a director of the Company or an Affiliate (as defined in the Plan) the right to continue as a director of the Company or an Affiliate with, the Company or an Affiliate, nor will it affect in any way the right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate such employment or position at any time, with or without cause.  In addition, the Company or an Affiliate may at any time dismiss Employee, or terminate the term of a director of the Company or an Affiliate, free from any liability or any claim under the Plan or the Agreement.  Nothing in the Agreement shall confer on any person any legal or equitable right against the Company or any Affiliate, directly or indirectly, or give rise to any cause of action at law or in equity against the Company or an Affiliate.

(f)  Severability.  If any provision of the Agreement is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or would disqualify the Agreement under any law deemed applicable by the Committee (as defined in the Plan), such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable laws, or if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the purpose or intent of the Plan or the Agreement, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction or the Agreement, and the remainder of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

 

(g)  No Trust or Fund Created.  Neither the Plan nor the Agreement shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company or any Affiliate and Employee or any other person.

THIS SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is entered into effective as of March 7, 2014 (the "Effective Date") between Calpian, Inc., a Texas corporation (the "Company"), and ________________ (the "Investor").

 

WHEREAS, Investor desires to purchase and receive from the Company and the Company desires to issue and sell to Investor Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (as further described herein below) in consideration of Investor’s payment of the Purchase Price to the Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, based upon the foregoing and the mutual promises in this Agreement, the parties agree as follows:

 

1.Investment.  In exchange for Investor’s initial cash payment on the date hereof in the amount of $1,000,000.00 (the "Original Purchase Price"), the Company will issue, sell, transfer and assign to Investor 1,000 shares (the "Initial Shares") of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Series C Preferred") to be issued hereunder having the rights, preferences and limitations as set forth in the Certificate of Designation, in the form of Exhibit A hereto ("Certificate of Designation").  As soon as practicable after receipt of the Original Purchase Price, the Company shall deliver to the Investor the certificates evidencing the Initial Shares of Series C Preferred issued pursuant to this Agreement.  From time to time, on or after the Effective Date but in no event after December 31, 2014 or if otherwise precluded under the Certificate of Designation, the Investor may purchase up to an additional 4,000 shares (the "Additional Shares") of Series C Preferred for a purchase price of $1,000 per share (the "Additional Purchase Price").  As soon as practicable after receipt of the Additional Purchase Price, the Company shall deliver to the Investor the certificates evidencing the corresponding number of Additional Shares of Series C Preferred issued pursuant to this Agreement.

 

2.Termination.  In the event the sale of the shares of Series C Preferred is not consummated for any reason, this Agreement and any other agreement entered into between the Investor and the Company shall thereafter have no force or effect, and the Company shall promptly return or cause to be returned to the Investor the Purchase Price and Additional Purchase Price, if any, remitted to the Company, without deduction therefrom.

 

3.Representations by Investor.  In consideration of the Company’s issuance of Series C Preferred, Investor makes the following representations and warranties to the Company and to its principals, which warranties and representations shall be true and accurate as of the date of this Agreement and the issuance of the Additional Share and shall survive any issuance of Series C Preferred by the Company hereunder:

 

(a) Prior to the time of purchase of any share of Series C Preferred, Investor has carefully reviewed this Agreement, and the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the foregoing materials, together with this Agreement and any documents which may have been made available upon request as reflected therein, collectively referred to as the "Public Information"). Investor has had the opportunity to ask questions and receive any additional information from persons acting on behalf of the Company to verify Investor’s understanding of the terms thereof and of the Company’s business and status thereof.

 

(b) Investor acknowledges that Investor has not seen, received, been presented with, or been solicited by any leaflet, public promotional meeting, newspaper or magazine article or advertisement, radio or television advertisement, or any other form of advertising or general solicitation with respect to the shares of Series C Preferred.

Investor acknowledges and agrees that Investor is prohibited from any buying or selling of the Company’s securities on the basis of this material non-public information until after the information either becomes publicly available by the Company (such as in a Current Report on Form 8-K or in the Company’s Form 10-K or Form 10-Q) or ceases to be material, and in no event for at least thirty (30) days from the date hereof.
