Ladies
and Gentlemen:
The
undersigned (the “undersigned” or the “Purchaser”) is writing to advise you of
the following terms and conditions under which the undersigned hereby offers
to
subscribe for the securities in this private placement (the “Offering”) offered
by Onstream Media Corporation, a Florida corporation (the
“Company”).
1. Subscription
& Closing.
Subject
to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth in this Subscription
Agreement, the undersigned hereby offers to purchase _________ shares of common
stock, par value $0.0001 (the “Common Stock” or “Securities”), of the Company at
a price of $2.25 per share, for a total subscription price of $ ________ (the
“Purchase Price”). The Company will sell on a "best efforts all or none" basis
$8,000,000 of Securities (the "Minimum
Offering")
and up
to an additional $3,000,000 of Securities on a best efforts basis (the
“Maximum
Offering”).
The
undersigned shall pay the Purchase Price by wire transfer or check payable
to
the order of SunTrust Bank, as escrow agent for the Company, and shall deliver
the Purchase Price at closing contemporaneously with receipt of the
certificates. The wire transfer instructions are attached as Exhibit
D.
The
closing of the Offering shall take place on the next business day (the
“Acquisition Closing Date”) after notification from the Company to the
subscriber that the conditions to consummate an acquisition (the "Acquisition")
(the description of the target is set forth on B) has been satisfied and
subscriptions have been received for the Minimum Offering). In the event that
the Company fails to notify the subscriber on or before April 30, 2007,
which date may be extended by the Company until June 30, 2007, that the
conditions have been satisfied, the Company will direct the escrow agent to
return the escrowed funds, without interest, to the subscriber. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, a Purchaser may fund and complete its purchase prior to the
closing of the Acquisition; provided that any Purchasers under any of the
Subscription Agreements who elect this option shall fund and complete the
purchase on the same date within three (3) days of the date hereof (the “Early
Closing Date”). Such purchase will be counted towards the Minimum Offering and
the Company and the Placement Agent shall notify the Escrow Agent to release
the
Purchase Price. (The day on which the closing occurs under this Subscription
Agreement (whether the Acquisition Closing Date or the Early Closing Date)
is
the “Closing Date”).

Offering is made subject to the following conditions: (i) that the Company

(DD) Independent
Nature of Purchasers.
The
Company acknowledges that the obligations of each Purchaser under the
Subscription Agreements are several and not joint with the obligations of any
other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the
performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under the Subscription
Agreements or other transaction documents. The Subscription Agreements executed
by each Purchaser are substantially identical. The Company acknowledges that
the
decision of each Purchaser to purchase securities pursuant to this Offering
has
been made by such Purchaser independently of any other purchase and
independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the
business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of
operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company
or of
its Subsidiaries which may have made or given by any other Purchaser or by
any
agent or employee of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser or any of its agents
or employees shall have any liability to any Purchaser (or any other person)
relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or
opinions. The Company acknowledges that nothing contained herein, or in any
transaction document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto
or
thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an
association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a
presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group
with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the
Subscription Agreements. The Company acknowledges that each Purchaser shall
be
entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without
limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other
transaction documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser
to
be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The Company
acknowledges that each Purchaser has retained its own individual counsel with
respect to the transactions contemplated hereby.
5. Registration
Rights.
The
Company grants registration rights to the undersigned under the following terms
and conditions:
(A) The
Company shall prepare and file, at its own expense, as soon as reasonably
practicable and in any event within sixty (60) days of the Closing Date
hereunder, a registration statement on Form S-3 (except if the Company is not
then eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities (as defined
below) on Form S-3, in which case such registration shall be on another
appropriate form in accordance herewith and with the Securities Act and the
rules promulgated thereunder) under the Securities Act (the “Registration
Statement”)
with
the Commission sufficient to permit the non-underwritten public offering and
resale of all of the Securities sold to the Purchaser hereunder (the
“Registrable
Securities”)
through the facilities of all appropriate securities exchanges, if any, on
which
the Company’s Common Stock is being sold or on the over-the-counter market if
the Company’s Common Stock is traded thereon; provided,
however,
that
not less than three (3) business days prior to the filing of the Registration
Statement or any related prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto,
the
Company shall (i) furnish to the Purchaser copies of all such documents proposed
to be filed, which documents will be subject to the reasonable review of the
Purchaser, and (ii) cause its officers and directors, counsel and independent
certified public accountants to respond to such inquiries as shall be necessary,
in the reasonable opinion of the Purchaser and its counsel, to conduct a
reasonable review of such documents.
12
(B) The
Company will use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration
Statement to become effective as promptly as possible after filing, and in
any
event within one hundred twenty (120) days from the Early Closing Date (or
in
the event the Registration Statement receives a “full review” by the Commission,
within one hundred fifty (150) days from the Early Closing Date) or, if earlier,
within five (5) business days of Commission clearance to request acceleration
of
effectiveness. The number of shares designated in the Registration Statement
to
be registered shall include all of the Registrable Securities and shall include
appropriate language regarding reliance upon Rule 416 to the extent permitted
by
the Commission. The Company will notify the Purchaser of the date of
effectiveness of the Registration Statement promptly upon effectiveness. The
Company shall request that the effective time of the Registration Statement
be
4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the effective date and the Company shall file the
final prospectus pursuant to Rule 424 of the Securities Act no later than 9:00
a.m. Eastern Time on the second business day following the date the Registration
Statement is declared effective by the Commission. In the event that the number
of shares so registered shall prove to be insufficient to register the resale
of
all of the Registrable Securities, then the Company shall be obligated to file,
within thirty (30) days of notice from any Purchaser, a further Registration
Statement registering such remaining shares and shall use its reasonable best
efforts to prosecute such additional Registration Statement to effectiveness
within ninety (90) days of the date of such notice. With respect to any
Securities sold on the Early Closing Date, the Company shall not permit any
securities other than the Registrable Securities, the Securities sold to other
Purchasers pursuant to a Subscription Agreement on such Early Closing Date
or
the Securities described in Section (ii) or (iii) on Exhibit C to be included
in
the Registration Statement if the Acquisition Closing Date does not occur.
With
respect to any Securities sold on the Acquisition Closing Date, the Company
shall not permit any securities other than the Registrable Securities, the
Securities sold to other Purchasers on the Early Closing Date or the Acquisition
Closing Date or the Securities described in Exhibit C to be included in the
Registration Statement.
(C) Except
as
otherwise provided in Section 5(K)(ii), below, the Company will maintain the
Registration Statement or post-effective amendment filed under the terms of
this
Subscription Agreement effective under the Securities Act until the earlier
of
(i) the date that all of the Registrable Securities have been sold pursuant
to
such Registration Statement, (ii) all Registrable Securities have been otherwise
transferred to Persons who may trade such shares without restriction under
the
Securities Act, and the Company has delivered a new certificate or other
evidence of ownership for such securities not bearing a restrictive legend,
or
(iii) all Registrable Securities may be sold at any time, without volume or
manner of sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144(k) or any similar provision
then
in effect under the Securities Act in the opinion of counsel to the Company
(the
“Effectiveness
Period”).
The
Company shall respond
as promptly as possible to any comments received from the Commission with
respect to the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and as promptly
as possible provide the Purchaser with true and complete copies of all
correspondence from and to the Commission relating to the Registration Statement
provided that the Company shall redact therefrom any information that
constitutes material non-public information.
13
(D) If,
at
any time during which the Registration Statement required by Section 5(A) above
is not effective, the Company shall not file a registration statement pursuant
to the Securities Act in connection with the proposed offer and sale of any
of
its securities by it or any of its security holders (other than a registration
statement on Form S-4 that is not related to the Acquisition, or S-8, or other
successor form) unless the Company shall include the Registrable Securities
of
each Purchaser in such Registration Statement in which case the Company may
make
such filing.
(E) All
fees,
disbursements and out-of-pocket expenses and costs incurred by the Company
in
connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement, in
making filings with NASD or NASDR (including, without limitation, pursuant
to
NASD Rule 2710), and in complying with applicable federal securities and Blue
Sky laws (including, without limitation, all attorneys’ fees of the Company)
shall be borne by the Company. The Purchaser shall bear the cost of underwriting
and/or brokerage discounts, fees and commissions, if any, applicable to the
Registrable Securities being registered, as well as the fees and expenses of
their counsel. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to qualify
any
of the Registrable Securities for sale in such states as any Purchaser
reasonably designates. However, the Company shall not be required to qualify
in
any state which will require an escrow or other restriction relating to the
Company and/or the Purchasers, or which will require the Company to qualify
to
do business in such state or require the Company to file therein any general
consent to service of process. The Company at its expense will supply each
of
the Purchasers with one unbound copy of the applicable Registration Statement
and any prospectus included therein and other related documents.
(F) Certificates
evidencing the Registrable Securities shall not contain any legend: (i)
following any sale of such Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 or an
effective Registration Statement, except as required by applicable law, or
(ii)
if such Registrable Securities are eligible for legend removal under Rule
144(k), or (iii) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements
of
the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued
by the staff of the Commission). The Company agrees that following the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement or at such time as such legend
is no
longer required under this Section 5(F) pursuant to an applicable exemption
from
registration, it will, no later than three (3) business days following the
delivery by Purchaser to the Company’s transfer agent of a certificate
representing Registrable Securities accompanied by appropriate stock power
or
other required documentation, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend
(such third Business Day, the “Legend
Removal Date”),
deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing
such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends, in each case
without charge to the Purchaser. The Company may not make any notation on its
records or give instructions to any transfer agent of the Company that enlarge
the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 5(F). Without
limiting the Purchaser’s other legal remedies, the Company shall immediately
upon demand reimburse the Purchaser for the cost and losses occasioned by any
buy-in resulting from the Company’s failure to timely deliver unlegended share
certificates,
provided Purchaser provides documentation confirming such buy-in was initiated
by Purchaser’s broker, securities custodian, or other such outside party, and
not by Purchaser.
14
(G) In
the
event that (i) the Registration Statement is not filed with the Commission
within sixty (60) days of the Early Closing Date, (ii) such Registration
Statement (A) is not declared effective by the Commission by the earlier of
(a)
one hundred twenty (120) days (or
in the
event the Registration Statement receives a “full review” by the Commission, one
hundred fifty (150) days)
from the
Early Closing Date or (b) five (5) business days after the Company receives
clearance by the Commission to request effectiveness, or (B) is declared
effective by the deadline set forth in this Section 5(G)(ii)(A) but does not
register all of the Registrable Securities; (iii) such Registration Statement
is
not maintained as effective by the Company for the Effectiveness Period (except
as allowed by 5(K)(ii) below), (iv) trading
in the Common Stock is suspended or if the Common Stock is delisted from the
Nasdaq Capital Market (or other principal exchange on which the Common Stock
is
traded) for any reason for more than five (5) consecutive trading
days,
or (v)
the additional Registration Statement referred to in Section 5(b) is not filed
within thirty (30) days or declared effective within ninety (90) days as set
forth therein (each a “Registration
Default”),
then
the Company will pay Purchaser (pro rated on a daily basis), as partial
compensation for such failure and not as a penalty one and one-half percent
(1.5%) of the purchase price of the Securities purchased from the Company and
held by the Purchaser for each month (or portion thereof) until such trading
is
no longer suspended (in the case of clause (iv)), until the Registration
Statement has been filed (in the case of clause (i) and clause (v)), and in
the
event of late effectiveness (in case of clause (ii) above) or lapsed
effectiveness (in the case of clause (iii) above), (regardless of whether one
or
more such Registration Defaults are then in existence, but without duplication
of such partial compensatory payments) until such Registration Statement has
been declared effective, provided,
however, that
in
no event shall such payments, in the aggregate, exceed ten percent (10%) of
the
initial purchase price of the Securities with respect to each Purchaser. Such
compensatory payments shall be made to the Purchasers in cash,
no
later than the fifth business day following the end of each month in which
a
Registration Default(s) occurred, provided,
however,
that
the payment of such amounts shall not relieve the Company from its obligations
to register the Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 5.
(H) If
the
Company does not remit the payment to the Purchaser as set forth in Section
5(G)
above, the Company will pay the Purchaser interest at the rate of 12% per annum,
or the highest rate permitted by law, if less, until such sums have been paid
in
full, and reasonable costs of collection, including attorneys’ fees, in addition
to the liquidated damages. The registration of the Registrable Securities
pursuant to this provision or payment of such compensatory amounts shall not
affect or limit the Purchaser’s other rights or remedies as set forth in this
Subscription Agreement or at law.
15
(I) [Intentionally
omitted.]
(J) At
all
times after one (1) year following the Closing Date, the Company
will use
its reasonable best efforts to prepare and furnish to Purchaser and make
publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is
required for Purchaser to sell the Registrable Securities under Rule 144. The
Company further covenants that it will take such further action as any holder
of
Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from
time to time to enable such Person to sell such Registrable Securities without
registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions
provided by Rule 144.
(K) In
the
case of each registration effected by the Company pursuant to any section
herein, the Company will keep each Purchaser advised in writing as to the
initiation of each registration and as to the completion thereof and shall
promptly (and in any event no later than the next business day) notify each
Purchaser when each such Registration Statement has been declared effective.
At
its expense, the Company will:
(i)
|
Prepare
and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such
registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with
such
registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions
of the Securities Act with respect to a disposition of all securities
covered by such registration statement;
|
(ii)
|
Promptly
(and in any event no later than one business day) notify the Purchaser
at
any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered
under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result
of
which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as
then in
effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits
to state
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the
statements therein not misleading or incomplete in light of the
circumstances then existing, and at the request of the Purchasers,
prepare
and furnish to them a reasonable number of copies of a supplement
or an
amendment to such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter
delivered to the Purchaser, such prospectus shall not include an
untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required
to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading or incomplete in light of the circumstances then existing;
provided that,
for not more than (X) fifteen (15) consecutive business days (or
a total
of not more than thirty (30) calendar days in any twelve (12) month
period) and (Y) up to an additional thirty (30) business days (consecutive
or not) in any twelve (12) month period only if such material information
relates to a merger or acquisition transaction, the Company may suspend
the use of a prospectus included in the Registration Statement if,
in the
judgment of the Company, it is advisable to suspend use of such prospectus
due to pending material developments or other events that have not
yet
been publicly disclosed and as to which the Company believes public
disclosure would be detrimental to the Company, or should the Company
determine that a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement
is
otherwise required (an “Allowed
Delay”);
provided,
further,
that the Company shall promptly (and in any event no later than one
business day) (A) notify each Purchaser in writing of the existence
of any
facts or circumstances giving rise to an Allowed Delay (but in no
event,
without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, shall the Company
disclose to such Purchaser any facts or circumstances constituting
material non-public information) and (B) advise each Purchaser in
writing
to cease all sales under such registration statement until the termination
of the Allowed Delay;
|
16
(iii)
|
Use
its commercially reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance
of any
stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of a registration
statement, and, if such an order is issued, to obtain the withdrawal
of
such order at the earliest possible moment and to notify Purchaser
promptly, (and in any event no later than one business day) (and,
in the
event of an underwritten offering, the managing underwriter) of the
issuance of such order and the resolution
thereof;
|
(iv)
|
If
NASD Rule 2710 requires any broker-dealer to make a filing prior
to
executing a sale of Registrable Securities by an Purchaser, make
an Issuer
Filing with the NASD Corporate Financing Department pursuant to NASD
Rule
2710 and use its reasonable best efforts to respond within five business
days to any comments received from NASD in connection
therewith.
|
(v)
|
Otherwise
use its commercially reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable
rules and regulations of the Commission.
|
(L) To
the
extent the Purchaser includes any Securities in a registration statement
pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless
the
Purchaser, its directors,
officers, shareholders, partners, employees and agents,
and
each Person, if any, who controls Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities
Act (each a “Purchaser Party”), from and against, and will reimburse such
Purchaser Party with respect to, any and all losses,
liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses,
including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable
attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation (collectively, “Losses”) to
which
such Purchaser Party may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise,
insofar as such Losses arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement
or
alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in such registration
statement, any prospectus or exhibit contained therein or any amendment or
supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in
which
they were made, not misleading; provided,
however,
that
the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such
loss, damage, liability, cost or expense arises out of or is based upon an
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission
so
made in conformity with written information furnished by the Purchaser or any
such controlling Person in writing specifically for use in the preparation
thereof.
17
(M) To
the
extent the Purchaser includes any Securities in a registration statement
pursuant to the terms hereof, the Purchaser will indemnify and hold harmless
the
Company, its directors and officers and any controlling Person from and against,
and will reimburse the Company, its directors and officers and any controlling
Person with respect to, any and all loss, damage, liability, cost or expense
to
which the Company, its directors and officers or such controlling Person may
become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses,
damages, liabilities, costs or expenses are caused by any untrue statement
or
alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in such registration
statement, any prospectus contained therein or any amendment or supplement
thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission
to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make
the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made,
not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission
was
so made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished
by
or on behalf of the Purchaser specifically for use in the preparation thereof
and provided further, that the maximum amount that may be recovered from the
Purchaser shall be limited to the amount of net proceeds received by the
Purchaser from the sale of such Securities.
(N) To
the
extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited
by
law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect
to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable hereunder to the extent
permitted by law, provided that (i) no contribution shall be made under
circumstances where the indemnifying party would not have been liable for
indemnification pursuant to the provisions hereof, (ii) no seller of securities
guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f)
of
the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any seller of
securities who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation, and (iii)
the amount of the contribution together with any other payments made in respect
of such loss, damage, liability or expense, by any seller of securities shall
be
limited to the net amount of proceeds received by such seller from the sale
of
such securities.

6. Indemnification
of the Company.
The
undersigned understands that the securities acquired as a result of the
subscription right provided in Section 1 hereof are being offered without
registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws
and
in reliance upon the exemption for transactions by the Company not involving
any
public offering; that the availability of such exemption is, in part, dependent
upon the truthfulness and accuracy of the representations made by the
undersigned in Section 2 hereof herein; that the Company will rely on such
representations in accepting any subscriptions for the Securities and that
the
Company may take such steps as it considers reasonable to verify the accuracy
and truthfulness of such representations in advance of accepting or rejecting
the undersigned's subscription. The undersigned agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless the Company against any damage, loss, expense or cost, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, sustained as a result of any breach of the
representation made by the undersigned in Section 2 hereof. The maximum
aggregate liability of the undersigned pursuant to its indemnification
obligations under this Section 6 shall not exceed the Purchase Price paid by
such Purchaser hereunder.
7. Indemnification
of the Undersigned.
Subject
to the provisions of this Section 7, the Company will indemnify and hold the
Purchaser and its directors, officers, shareholders, partners, employees and

Party”)
harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims,
contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts
paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of
investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result
of
or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties,
covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Subscription Agreement
or
(b) any action instituted against the Purchaser, or its respective Affiliates,
by any stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Purchaser,
with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by this Subscription
Agreement (unless such action is based upon a breach of such Purchaser’s
representation, warranties or covenants under this Subscription Agreement or
any
agreements or understandings such Purchaser may have with any such stockholder
or any violations by the Purchaser of state or federal securities laws or any
conduct by such Purchaser which constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful
misconduct or malfeasance). If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser
Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement,
such Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the
Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of
its
own choosing. Any Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate
counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the
fees
and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party
except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically
authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a
reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii)
in such action there is, in the reasonable written opinion of such separate
counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of
the
Company and the position of such Purchaser Party. The Company will not be liable
to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement (i) for any settlement by a
Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (ii) to the extent, but only
to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any
Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or
agreements made by the Purchaser in this Subscription Agreement.
