On June 12, 2012, Ace Marketing & Promotions, Inc. (the “Company”) closed on a security agreement dated as of May 31, 2012 (the “Security Agreement”) with TCA Global Credit Master Fund, LP, a Cayman Islands limited partnership (“TCA”), related to a $350,000 convertible promissory note issued by the Company in favor of TCA (the “Convertible Note”), which Convertible Note was funded by TCA on June 12, 2012. The Security Agreement grants to TCA a continuing, first priority security interest in all of the Company’s assets, wheresoever located and whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired.

The maturity date of the Convertible Note is December 2013, and the Convertible Note bears interest at a rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum. The Convertible Note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price equal to ninety-five percent (95%) of the average of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during the five (5) trading days immediately prior to the date of conversion.
