Item 1.01  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

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 Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Mobiquity Networks, Inc., also entered into a similar Security Agreement and Guaranty Agreement.

The above description of the Security Agreement and Convertible Note does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the document itself. See Item 2.03 herein, which is incorporated by reference in this Item 1.01.

On May 31, 2012, the Company issued the Convertible Note in favor of TCA, which loaned $350,000 to the Company on June 12, 2012.  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.  The Convertible Note may be prepaid in whole or in part at the Company’s option without penalty.

The above description of the Convertible Note does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the document itself.

Item 3.02  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

In addition, the Company is relying on an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for the private placement of our securities underlying the Convertible Note pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.  The transaction does not involve a public offering.
