COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

	
Warrant No. 2016-__

	
Dated:  April 22, 2016

Blue Calypso, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, for value received, Harold H. Brierley or his registered assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled to purchase from the Company up to a total of Six Hundred Nine Thousand Seven Hundred Fifty Six (609,756) shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company at an exercise price equal to $2.13 per share (as adjusted from time to time as provided in Section 9, the “Exercise Price”), at any time and on or after the date hereof (the “Initial Exercise Date”) and through and including the Expiration Date (as defined below), and subject to the following terms and conditions.  This Warrant (this “Warrant”) is one of a  series of similar warrants issued pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 22, 2016, by and among the Company and the Purchaser identified therein (the “Purchase Agreement”). All such warrants are referred to herein, collectively, as the “Warrants.”  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.

1. Certain Definitions.  In additional to the terms defined elsewhere in this Warrant, the following terms have the meanings indicated in this Section 1:

(a) “Expiration Date” shall be the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date of this Warrant.

(b) “Merger” means (A) the closing of the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, (B) the consummation of the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity (except a merger or consolidation in which the holders of capital stock of the Company immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continue to hold at least 50% of the voting power of the capital stock of the Company or the surviving or acquiring entity), or (C) the closing of the transfer (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise), in one transaction or a series of related transactions, to a person or group of affiliated persons (other than an underwriter of the Company’s securities), of the Company’s securities if, after such closing, such person or group of affiliated persons would hold 50% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the Company; provided, however, that a transaction shall not constitute a Merger if its sole purpose is to change the state of the Company’s incorporation or to create a holding company that will be owned in substantially the same proportions by the persons who held the Company’s securities immediately prior to such transaction.

(c) “Warrant Share” is a share of the Company’s capital stock for which the Holder is entitled to subscribe for and purchase by exercising this Warrant.

2. Registration of Warrant.  The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time.  The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of record of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

3. Registration of Transfers.  The Company shall register the transfer of any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant, with the Form of Assignment attached hereto duly completed and signed, to the Company at its address specified herein.  Upon any such registration of transfer, a new warrant to purchase Common Stock, in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new warrant, a “New Warrant”), evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder.  The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a holder of a Warrant.

4. Exercise and Duration of Warrant.

(a) This Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder at any time and from time to time on or after the Initial Exercise Date and including the Expiration Date.  At 5:30 P.M., New York City time on the Expiration Date, the portion of this Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and of no value.

(b) A Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering to the Company (i) an exercise notice, in the form attached hereto (the “Exercise Notice”), appropriately completed and duly signed, and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised, and the date such items are delivered to the Company (as determined in accordance with the notice provisions hereof) is an “Exercise Date.”  The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder.  Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.

5. Delivery of Warrant Shares.

(a) Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than five Trading Days after the Exercise Date) issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder and in such name or names as the Holder may designate, a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise or, if the Company is then a participant in the Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system at The Depository Trust Company and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder (and the Holder provides the Company or the Company’s counsel with any reasonable requested certifications with respect to future sales of such Warrant Shares) or (B) the shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information requirements pursuant to Rule 144, and otherwise without volume or manner-of-sale restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144, by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker.  The Holder, or any Person so designated by the Holder to receive Warrant Shares, shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Exercise Date.

(b) This Warrant is exercisable, either in its entirety or, from time to time, for a portion of the number of Warrant Shares.  Upon request by the Holder following one or more partial exercises, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued, at its expense, a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.

6. Charges, Taxes and Expenses.  Issuance and delivery of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder.  The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.

7. Replacement of Warrant.  If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable bond or indemnity, if requested.  Applicants for a New Warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may prescribe.

8. Reservation of Warrant Shares.  The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (after giving effect to the adjustments of Section 9, if any). The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.  The Company will take all such action as may be necessary to assure that such shares of Common Stock may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Common Stock may be listed.

9. Certain Adjustments.  The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 9.

(a) Stock Dividends and Splits.  If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event.

(b) Number of Warrant Shares.  Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section, the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the increased or decreased number of Warrant Shares, as the case may be, shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.

(c) Calculations.  All calculations under this Section 9 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable.

(d) Notice of Corporate Events.  In the event (i) the Company shall take a record of the holders of the securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any class or any other securities, or to receive any other right, (ii) of any capital reorganization of the Company, (iii) of any reclassification of the capital stock of the Company, (iv) of any Merger or (v) of any proposed issuance of capital stock pursuant to a rights offering, (vi) of any proposed repurchases of capital stock by the Company, or (vii) of any voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company, then, and in each such case, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed to the Holder a notice specifying, as the case may be, (A) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and stating the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right, or (B) the date on which such reorganization, reclassification, Merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to take place, and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of the securities at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be entitled to exchange such securities for the securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, Merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up.  Such notice shall be mailed at least ten (10) days prior to the date therein specified.

10. Payment of Exercise Price.  The Holder shall pay the Exercise Price in immediately available funds.

11. Fractional Shares.  The Company shall not be required to issue or cause to be issued fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant.  If any fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this Section, be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of Warrant Shares to be issued will be rounded up to the nearest whole share.

12. Notices.  Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

13. Warrant Agent.  The Company shall serve as warrant agent under this Warrant.  Upon 30 days’ notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint a new warrant agent.  Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent may be merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation to which the Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to which the Company or any new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its corporate trust or stockholder services business shall be a successor warrant agent under this Warrant without any further act.  Any such successor warrant agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder’s last address as shown on the Warrant Register.

14. Miscellaneous.

(a) The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.

(b) Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth on the first page hereof, this Warrant may be assigned by the Holder. This Warrant shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Subject to the preceding sentence, nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to give to any Person other than the Company and the Holder any legal or equitable right, remedy or cause of action under this Warrant. This Warrant may be amended only in writing signed by the Company and the Holder and their successors and assigns.

(c) All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

(d) The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Warrant and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

(e) In case any one or more of the provisions of this Warrant shall be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Warrant shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt in good faith to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision which shall be a commercially reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Warrant.

 ARTICLE 4 

ELIGIBILITY 
 4.1.
DESIGNATION OF PARTICIPANTS. Before the 90th day of each Plan Year, the Committee shall review and approve (individually, in the case of Section 16 Officers, or by group, in the case
of other Participants) the Participants and their Target Awards for that Plan Year. Inclusion as a Participant in the Plan in any Plan Year does not guarantee that such Participant will receive any amount in payment of an Annual Incentive Award.

 4.2. PARTIAL YEAR PARTICIPATION. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee or the CEO (with respect to individuals who are not
Section 16 Officers) (i) if a Participant begins employment or is promoted to an eligible position after the beginning of a Plan Year but before October 1 of such Plan Year, such Participant will be eligible to receive an Annual
Incentive Award for such Plan Year, which will be prorated based on the number of days such person participated in the Plan during the Plan Year; and (ii) if a Participant begins employment or is promoted to an eligible position after
October 1 of a Plan Year, the Participant will not be eligible to receive an Annual Incentive Award for such Plan Year. If a Participant takes a leave of absence during the Plan Year for any reason, the Committee or the CEO (with respect to
individuals who are not Section 16 Officers) in their discretion, may determine whether such employee may participate in this Plan and the terms of such participation, if any. 

4.3. CHANGE IN ELIGIBLE POSITION. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee or the CEO (with respect to individuals who are not
Section 16 Officers), if a Participant changes from one eligible position to another during a Plan Year, the Participant’s Annual Incentive Award for such Plan Year will be prorated based on the number of days such person participated in
the Plan during the Plan year in each respective position and shall be determined with respect to the Target Award and Performance Objectives relevant to such respective positions. 

4.4. DEMOTIONS; TERMINATIONS. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee or the CEO (with respect to individuals who are not
Section 16 Officers) if a Participant resigns, is terminated, or is demoted to a non-eligible position during the Plan Year, the Participant’s Plan participation shall end at that time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a
Participant’s death or Disability, the Committee or the CEO (with respect to individuals who are not Section 16 Officers) in their discretion, may determine whether such employee may participate in this Plan and if so, the terms of such
participation pursuant to Section 5.6 hereof. 
 ARTICLE 5 

OPERATION OF THE PLAN 

5.1. PLAN STRUCTURE. Subject to the terms and conditions described herein, each Participant shall be eligible to receive an Annual
Incentive Award for the Plan Year if certain Performance Objectives are met or exceeded by the Company and, if applicable, the Participant. Each Plan Year, Performance Objectives and their respective weightings and Target Awards shall be established
as provided in Sections 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4 hereof. 
 5.2. ESTABLISHMENT OF TARGET AWARDS. Each Participant shall have a target award,
reflected as a specified amount or a percentage of his or her Base Salary, that will be awarded to the Participant for the designated Plan Year if the established Performance Objectives are achieved at the target level (the “Target
Award”). Before the 90th day of each Plan Year, (i) the Committee shall approve the Target Award for each Participant that is a Section 16 Officer, (ii) the CEO shall approve
the Target Award for all Participants other than Section 16 Officers, and (iii) the Committee shall approve the aggregate cost of Target Awards for all Participants other than Section 16 Officers. Each Participant’s

  
 6 

 
Target Award percentage will be communicated in writing to the Participant upon such Participant’s initial participation in the Plan, and shall remain in effect until any change thereto is
communicated to the Participant in writing. The actual Annual Incentive Award to a Participant may be greater or less than his or her Target Award, depending on the level of achievement of applicable Performance Objectives and such other objective
or subjective factors as the Committee with respect to Section 16 Officers or the CEO with respect to individuals who are not Section 16 Officers, as applicable, shall deem relevant. 

5.3. COMPANY PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES. Before the 90th day of each Plan Year,
(i) the Committee shall approve Company Performance Objectives for that Plan Year for the Section 16 Officers, and (ii) the CEO shall approve Company Performance Objectives for that Plan Year for other Participants. The Company
Performance Objectives will be communicated in writing to the Participants. In establishing Company Performance Objectives, the Committee or the CEO, as applicable, may take into account such factors as it deems appropriate, including, without
limitation, prior year results, planned business results, anticipated business trends, performance relative to peer companies and macroeconomic conditions. 

5.4. INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES. Before the 90th day of each Plan Year,
(i) the Committee shall approve any Individual Performance Objectives for that Plan Year for the Section 16 Officers, and (ii) the CEO shall approve Individual Performance Objectives for that Plan Year for other Participants. Any such
Individual Performance Objectives will be communicated in writing to the Participants. In addition, whether or not written Individual Performance Objectives are established for a Plan Year, the Committee with respect to Section 16 Officers or
the CEO with respect to individuals who are not Section 16 Officers, as applicable, reserves the right to increase or decrease a Participant’s Annual Incentive Award based on a subjective assessment of the Participant’s overall
performance during the Plan Year. 
 5.5. PAYOUT FORM AND TIMING. Annual Incentive Awards will be paid in a lump sum in cash as soon
as administratively practicable after the Committee or the CEO (in the case of Participants that are not Section 16 Officers) determines whether and to what extent Performance Objectives were achieved, but no later than March 15 following
the end of the Plan Year for which the Annual Incentive Awards, if any, were earned; provided that any Annual Incentive Award which is properly deferred by a Participant under a deferred compensation plan or arrangement adopted or approved by the
Company shall be paid pursuant to the terms and conditions of such deferral. 
 5.6. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. Unless otherwise
determined by (i) the Committee in its discretion or (ii) the CEO in his or her discretion with respect to a Participant who is not a Section 16 Officer, and subject to any contrary provision in an individual employment, key position,
severance or similar agreement with a Participant, a Participant must be actively employed and in good standing or on approved leave of absence as of the date of payment in order to be eligible to receive an Annual Incentive Award for such Plan
Year, and a Participant whose employment terminates for any reason prior to the date of payment shall forfeit his or her right to receive an Annual Incentive Award for such Plan Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to Section 4.4, the
Committee or the CEO (with respect to individuals who are not Section 16 Officers) may determine, in their discretion and on a case-by-case basis, that a Participant whose employment is terminated on account of death, Disability or Retirement
shall remain eligible to receive a portion of his or her Annual Incentive Award, based on actual achievement of applicable Performance Objectives and prorated based on the number of days that the Participant was actively employed and performed
services during the applicable performance period. Any amounts paid on behalf of a deceased Participant will be paid to the Participant’s beneficiary. 

5.7. CHANGE IN CONTROL. In the event a Change in Control occurs during a Plan Year, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, a pro
rata portion of the Target Award amounts for that 

  
 7 

 
Plan Year (based on the number of days in the Plan Year preceding the Change in Control, divided by 365) shall be deemed earned, notwithstanding the level of achievement of Performance
Objectives. Such prorata Target Awards shall be paid to Participants no later than thirty (30) days after the effective date of the Change in Control and, unless other determined by the Company in its sole discretion, such payments shall be in
full satisfaction of any awards under the Plan for such Plan Year and no additional amounts shall be payable to Participants under the Plan with respect to such Plan Year. 

ARTICLE 6 
 AMENDMENT,
MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION 
 6.1. AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION. The Committee may, at any time and from time to
time, amend, modify or terminate this Plan. The Committee may condition any amendment or modification on the approval of stockholders of the Company if such approval is necessary or deemed advisable with respect to tax, securities or other
applicable laws, policies or regulations. 
 6.2. TERMINATION DURING PLAN YEAR. Termination or amendment of this Plan during a Plan
Year may be retroactive to the beginning of the Plan Year, at the discretion of the Committee. If a Change in Control occurs, no amendment or termination may adversely affect amounts payable to a Participant without the consent of the Participant.

 ARTICLE 7 
 GENERAL
PROVISIONS 
 7.1. NO RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE. No employee shall have any right to be selected to participate in this Plan. 

7.2. NO RIGHT TO EMPLOYMENT. Nothing in this Plan shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Affiliate to
terminate any Participant’s employment at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any Affiliate. 

7.3. WITHHOLDING. The Company or any Affiliate shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant
to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes (including the Participant’s FICA obligation) required by law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising as a result of this Plan. 

7.4. FUNDING. Benefits payable under this Plan to a Participant or to a beneficiary will be paid by the Company from its general
assets. The Company is not required to segregate on its books or otherwise establish any funding procedure for any amount to be used for the payment of benefits under this Plan. The Company may, however, in its sole discretion, set funds aside in
investments to meet its anticipated obligations under this Plan. Any such action or set-aside may not be deemed to create a trust of any kind between the Company and any Participant or beneficiary or to constitute the funding of any Plan benefits.
Consequently, any person entitled to a payment under this Plan will have no rights greater than the rights of any other unsecured creditor of the Company. 

7.5. EXPENSES. The expenses of administering this Plan shall be borne by the Company and its Subsidiaries. 

7.6. TITLES AND HEADINGS. The titles and headings of the Sections in this Plan are for convenience of reference only, and in the event
of any conflict, the text of this Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control.

 7.7. GENDER AND NUMBER. Except where otherwise indicated by the context, any masculine
term used herein also shall include the feminine; the plural shall include the singular and the singular shall include the plural. 
 7.8.
GOVERNING LAW. To the extent not governed by federal law, this Plan shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware. 

7.9. COMPENSATION RECOUPMENT POLICY. Annual Incentive Awards granted under this Plan shall be subject to any compensation recoupment
policy that the Company may adopt from time to time that is applicable by its terms to the recipient of such award.
