On July 23, 2010, CrowdGather, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Registrant”), entered into and closed a Asset Purchase Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (“Purchase Agreement”) and a Software License Agreement ("License Agreement") with Team Awesome Productions, Inc. d/b/a Lefora (“Lefora”) for total consideration of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) payable in shares of the Registrant's common stock.
Purchase Agreement
The Purchase Agreement provides, among other things, that the Registrant will acquire the websites and domain names (“Websites”) set forth below:
|
·

www.lefora.com
|

www.eamped.com

The Purchase Agreement also provides that the Registrant acquires the web forums associated with the websites and domain names listed above, along with the all assets that constitute those forums, plus the technology and intellectual property needed for conducting the business on each of those forums, all associated accounts for these websites, including users lists, databases, along with associated intellectual property, trade secrets and past and future infringement claims.
The total purchase price of the Websites and the associated assets is Nine Hundred Ninety Thousand Dollars ($990,000) payable to Lefora in 970,859 shares of the Registrant’s common stock (“Purchase Shares”), which was calculated by dividing $990,000 by $1.02, the 15-day volume weighted average price (VWAP) of the Registrant’s common stock, the 15th day of which shall be the trading day immediately preceding July 23, 2010. The Purchase Shares will be issued to Lefora in a transaction which the Registrant believes satisfies the requirements of that exemption from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, which exemption is specified by the provisions of Section 4(2) of that act and Regulation D promulgated pursuant to that act by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Purchase Agreement further provides that in the event the Registrant files a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Lefora has the right to request that the Registrant include in that registration statement the Purchase Shares held by Lefora.
A copy of the Purchase Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1. This brief description of the Purchase Agreement is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement as attached as Exhibit 10.1.

The License Agreement provides that the Registrant will acquire an exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free and fully paid up license to the source code used in developing the computer software program generally known as “Talki”, which allows the Registrant its use to develop additional websites in the future. The consideration paid by the Registrant pursuant to the License Agreement is Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) payable to Lefora in 9,804 shares of the Registrant’s common stock (“License Shares”), which was calculated by dividing $10,000 by $1.02, the 15-day volume weighted average price (VWAP) of the Registrant’s common stock, the 15th day of which shall be the trading day immediately preceding July 23, 2010.
The License Shares of common stock will be issued to Lefora in a transaction which the Registrant believes satisfies the requirements of that exemption from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, which exemption is specified by the provisions of Section 4(2) of that act and Regulation D promulgated pursuant to that act by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
A copy of the License Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2. This brief description of the License Agreement is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the License Agreement as attached as Exhibit 10.2.
Services Agreements
In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Registrant entered into six independent contractor agreements (“Services Agreements”) with Paul Bragiel, Dan Bragiel, Vincent Lauria, Wojciech Podgorski, Andrew Seaman, and Samuel Stauffer (each a “Consultant” and, collectively, the "Consultants") to operate the Websites. The Services Agreements contemplate: (i) collective base compensation of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000) payable in shares of the Registrant’s common stock, (ii) terms of no less than six (6) months; and (iii) six-month vesting provisions, which provide that such shares will vest if such Consultant continues to serve as a Consultant to the Registrant for a minimum period of six (6) months after closing date of the Purchase Agreement.
Each of the Services Agreements also provides for payment of certain conditional traffic bonus compensation payable to each Consultant in shares of Registrant's common stock if, during the next twelve months, the average monthly visitor traffic to www.lefora.com is greater than or equal to 9.2 million monthly page views as measured by Google Analytics, or if the average monthly visitor traffic is greater than 8.5 million but below 9.2 million monthly page views. No conditional traffic bonus payment will be due if the average monthly visitor traffic is below 8.5 million monthly page views. Additionally, one of the Consultants will be paid compensation of Five Hundred Dollars ($500) per month for the term of that particular Services Agreement.
