Xxx Xxxxxxx, XX 00000
Gentlemen:
The undersigned subscriber or subscribers (hereinafter, the “Purchaser”) has received and carefully read this subscription agreement (the “Agreement”) and the Confidential Private Placement Memorandum dated October 3, 2013 as may be amended or supplemented from time to time, including all attachments, schedules and exhibits thereto (the “Memorandum,” and, together with this Agreement, the “Offering Documents”) which, among other things, describe the terms and conditions by which a Purchaser may invest in the offering (the “Offering”) of Social Reality, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) pursuant to the Memorandum. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the same meanings as in the Memorandum.
1.
Subscription. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Memorandum, the Purchaser hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase the number of Units (each, a “Unit,” and collectively, the “Units”) of the Company, with each Unit consisting of one share of the Company’s Class A common stock (the “Class A Common Stock”) and one three-year Class A Common Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase 0.5 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Warrants”) on the signature page hereof at a purchase price of $0.50 per Unit (the “Unit Purchase Price”) and hereby tenders this Agreement, together with a check or wire transfer in such amount in favor of Signature Bank as Escrow Agent for the Company for such purchase.
The Purchaser agrees that this subscription shall be irrevocable and shall survive the death or disability of the Purchaser. The Purchaser understands that if this subscription is not accepted, in whole or in part, funds received by the Company pursuant hereto will be returned to the Purchaser, without interest accrued thereon or deduction therefrom.
2.
Acceptance of Subscription. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has the right (in its sole discretion) to accept or reject this subscription, in whole or in part, for any reason, and that this subscription shall be deemed to be accepted by the Company only when it is signed on its behalf. The Agreement either will be accepted or rejected, in whole or in part, as promptly as practical after receipt. The Purchaser agrees that subscriptions need not be accepted in the order subscriptions are received by the Company. Upon rejection of this Agreement for any reason, all items received with this Agreement shall be returned to the Purchaser without deduction for any fee, commission or expense and without accrued interest with respect to any money received, and this Agreement shall be deemed to be null and void and of no further force or effect.
3.
Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Purchaser. The Purchaser hereby represents, warrants to, and covenants with the Company and the Placement Agent as follows:
(a)
Neither the Units, the shares of Class A Common Stock included in the Units, the Warrants, or the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Units (collectively, the “Securities”) offered pursuant to the Offering Documents are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities laws. The Purchaser understands that the Offering and sale of the Securities contemplated hereby is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act, by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) thereof and the provisions of Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder, based, in part, upon the representations, warranties and agreements of the Purchaser contained in this Agreement.
(b)
The Purchaser and the Purchaser’s attorney, accountant, purchaser representative and/or tax advisor, if any (collectively, the “Advisors”), acknowledges that it has received the Offering Documents, either in hard copy or electronically, and all other documents requested by the Purchaser, has carefully reviewed them and understands the information contained therein, and the Purchaser and the Advisors, if any, prior to the execution of
1
this Agreement, have had access to the same kind of information as would be available in a registration statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act. Purchaser’s decision to enter into this Agreement has been made based solely on the independent evaluation by the Purchaser and its Advisors, if any.
(c)
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state securities commission or other regulatory body has approved the Units, or passed upon or endorsed the merits of the Offering or confirmed the accuracy or determined the adequacy of the Offering Documents. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense. The Offering Documents have not been reviewed by any federal, state or other regulatory authority. The Securities are subject to restrictions on transferability and resale and may not be transferred or resold except as permitted under the Securities Act, and the applicable state securities laws, pursuant to registration or exemption therefrom.
(d)
All documents, records, and books pertaining to the investment in the Units (including, without limitation, the Offering Documents) have been made available for inspection by the Purchaser and its Advisors, if any.
(e)
The Purchaser and its Advisors, if any, have had a reasonable opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from a person or persons acting on behalf of the Company concerning the Offering of the Units and the business, financial condition, and results of operations of the Company, and all such questions have been answered by representatives of the Company to the full satisfaction of the Purchaser and its Advisors, if any.
(f)
In evaluating the suitability of an investment in the Company, the Purchaser has not relied upon any representation or other information (oral or written) other than as stated in the Offering Documents or as contained in documents so furnished to the Purchaser or its Advisors, if any, by the Company.
(g)
The Purchaser is unaware of, is in no way relying on, and did not become aware of the Offering of the Units directly or indirectly through or as a result of, any form of general solicitation or general advertising including, without limitation, any press release, article, notice, advertisement or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television, radio or the internet (including without limitation, internet “blogs,” bulletin boards, discussion groups or social networking sites) in connection with the Offering and sale of the Units and is not subscribing for the Units and did not become aware of the Offering of the Units through or as a result of any seminar or meeting to which the Purchaser was invited by, or any solicitation of a subscription by, a person not previously known to the Purchaser in connection with investments in securities generally.
(h)
Other than X.X. Xxxxxxx & Company, LLC who is acting as placement agent (the “Placement Agent”) for the Company in the Offering, the Purchaser is not aware of any person and has been advised that no person, will receive from the Company any compensation as a broker, finder, adviser or in any other capacity in connection with the purchase of the Units.
(i)
The Purchaser, either alone or together with its Advisors, if any, has such knowledge and experience in financial, tax, and business matters, and, in particular, investments in securities, so as to enable it to utilize the information made available to it in connection with the Offering, to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Units and the Company and to make an informed investment decision with respect thereto.
(j)
The Purchaser understands that the Company will review this Agreement and the Purchaser’s Confidential Purchaser Questionnaire which is attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by such reference and the Company is hereby given authority by the Purchaser to call the Purchaser's bank or place of employment or otherwise investigate or review the financial standing of the Purchaser; and it is further agreed that the Company reserves the unrestricted right to reject or limit any subscription and to close the offer at any time.
(k)
The Purchaser is not relying on the Company, the Placement Agent or any of their respective employees or agents with respect to the legal, tax, economic and related considerations of an investment in the Units, and the Purchaser has relied on the advice of, or has consulted with, only its own Advisors, if any.
2
(l)
The Purchaser represents that the Units are being purchased for the Purchaser’s own account, for investment purposes only and not with a view for distribution or resale to others. The Purchaser agrees that the Purchaser will not sell or otherwise transfer the Securities unless the Securities are registered under the Securities Act or unless in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company an exemption from such registration is available. The Purchaser understands that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a claimed exemption under the provisions of the Securities Act which depends, in part, upon the Purchaser's investment intention. In this connection, the Purchaser understands that it is the position of the SEC that the statutory basis for such exemption would not be present if the Purchaser's representation merely meant that the Purchaser’s present intention was to hold such Units for a short period, such as the capital gains period of tax statutes, for a deferred sale or for any other fixed period. The Purchaser realizes that the SEC might regard a purchase with an intent inconsistent with the Purchaser’s representation to the Company, and a sale or disposition thereof, as a deferred sale to which the exemption is not available.
(m)
The purchase of the Units represents a high risk capital investment and the Purchaser is able to afford an investment in a speculative venture having the risks and objectives of the Company. The Purchaser must bear the substantial economic risks of the investment in the Units indefinitely because none of the Securities may be sold, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available. Legends shall be placed on the Securities to the effect that they have not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws and appropriate notations thereof will be made in the Company's books. Stop transfer instructions will be placed with the transfer agent of the Securities.
(n)
The Purchaser has adequate means of providing for such Purchaser's current financial needs and foreseeable contingencies and has no need for liquidity of its investment in the Units for an indefinite period of time.
(o)
The Purchaser satisfies any special suitability or other applicable requirements of his state of residence and/or the state in which the transaction by which the Units are purchased occurs.
(p)
The Purchaser is aware that an investment in the Units involves a number of very significant risks and has carefully read and considered the matters set forth under the caption “Risk Factors” in the Offering Documents, and, in particular, acknowledges that the Company has a history of losses and is engaged in a highly competitive business.
(q)
The Purchaser meets the requirements of at least one of the suitability standards for an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act, and has truthfully and accurately completed the Purchaser’s Confidential Purchaser Questionnaire contained herein.
(r)
The Purchaser: (i) if a natural person, represents that the Purchaser has reached the age of 21 and has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and all other related agreements or certificates and to carry out the provisions hereof and thereof; (ii) if a corporation, partnership, or limited liability company or partnership, or association, joint stock company, trust, unincorporated organization or other entity, such entity is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its organization, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby is authorized by, and will not result in a violation of state law or its charter or other organizational documents, such entity has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and all other related agreements or certificates and to carry out the provisions hereof and thereof and to purchase and hold the Units, the execution and delivery of this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary action, this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of such entity and is a legal, valid and binding obligation of such entity; or (iii) if executing this Agreement in a representative or fiduciary capacity, represents that it has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement in such capacity and on behalf of the subscribing individual, xxxx, partnership, trust, estate, corporation, or limited liability company or partnership, or other entity for whom the Purchaser is executing this Agreement, and such individual, partnership, xxxx, trust, estate, corporation, or limited liability company or partnership, or other entity has full right and power to perform pursuant to this Agreement and make an investment in the Company, and represents that this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such entity. The execution and delivery of this Agreement will not violate or be in conflict with any order, judgment, injunction, agreement or controlling document to which the Purchaser is a party or by which it is bound.
3
(s)
Any information which the Purchaser has heretofore furnished or is furnishing herewith to the Company and/or the Placement Agent is complete and accurate and may be relied upon by the Company and the Placement Agent in determining the availability of an exemption from registration under Federal and state securities laws in connection with the Offering. The Purchaser further represents and warrants that it will notify and supply corrective information to the Company and the Placement Agent immediately upon the occurrence of any change therein occurring prior to the Company's issuance of the Units.
(t)
The Purchaser has significant prior investment experience, including investments in non-registered securities. The Purchaser is knowledgeable about investments in small and thinly capitalized, development stage companies. The Purchaser has a sufficient net worth to sustain a loss of its entire investment in the Company in the event such a loss should occur. The Purchaser's overall commitment to investments which are not readily marketable is not excessive in view of the Purchaser’s net worth and financial circumstances and the purchase of the Units will not cause such commitment to become excessive. The investment is a suitable one for the Purchaser.
(u)
No oral or written representations have been made, or oral or written information furnished, to the Purchaser or its Advisors, if any, in connection with the Offering which are in any way inconsistent with the information contained in the Offering Documents.
(v)
Within five (5) days after receipt of a request from the Company, the Purchaser will provide such information and deliver such documents as may reasonably be necessary to comply with any and all laws and ordinances to which the Company is subject.
(w)
By executing and delivering this Agreement, the Purchaser covenants to the Company and the Placement Agent that, except with the prior written permission of the Company, it shall at all times keep confidential and not divulge, furnish or make accessible to anyone any information contained in the Offering Documents, including the exhibits and attachments thereto. The provisions of this Section 3(w) shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for, the provisions of any separate nondisclosure agreement executed by the parties hereto with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby.
(x)
The Purchaser understands and agrees that all certificates representing the Units will contain the following restrictive legend:
THE SECURITIES OFFERED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATES AND ARE BEING OFFERED AND SOLD IN RELIANCE ON EXEMPTIONS FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF SAID ACT AND SUCH LAWS. THE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER SAID ACT AND SUCH LAWS PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM. THE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION OR ANY OTHER REGULATORY AUTHORITY, NOR HAVE ANY OF THE FOREGOING AUTHORITIES PASSED UPON OR ENDORSED THE MERITS OF THIS OFFERING OR THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THE OFFERING DOCUMENTS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS UNLAWFUL.
(y)
The Purchaser should check the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) website at <xxxx://xxx.xxxxx.xxx/xxxx> before making the following representations. The Purchaser represents that the amounts invested by it in the Company in the Offering were not and are not directly or indirectly derived from activities that contravene federal, state or international laws and regulations, including anti-money laundering laws and regulations. Federal regulations and Executive Orders administered by OFAC prohibit, among other things, the engagement in transactions with, and the provision of services to, certain foreign countries, territories, entities and individuals. The lists of OFAC prohibited countries, territories, persons and entities can be found on the OFAC website at <xxxx://xxx.xxxxx.xxx/xxxx>. In addition, the programs administered by OFAC (the “OFAC Programs”)

Please be advised that the Company may not accept any amounts from a prospective investor if such prospective investor cannot make the representations set forth in the preceding paragraph. The Purchaser agrees to promptly notify the Company and the Placement Agent should the Purchaser become aware of any change in the information set forth in these representations. The Purchaser understands and acknowledges that, by law, the Company may be obligated to “freeze the account” of the Purchaser, either by prohibiting additional subscriptions from the Purchaser, declining any redemption requests and/or segregating the assets in the account in compliance with governmental regulations. The Purchaser further acknowledges that the Company may, by written notice to the Purchaser, suspend the redemption rights, if any, of the Purchaser if the Company reasonably deems it necessary to do so to comply with anti-money laundering regulations applicable to the Company or any of the Company’s other service providers. These individuals include specially designated nationals, specially designated narcotics traffickers and other parties subject to OFAC sanctions and embargo programs.
(aa)
To the best of the Purchaser’s knowledge, none of: (1) the Purchaser; (2) any person controlling or controlled by the Purchaser; (3) if the Purchaser is a privately-held entity, any person having a beneficial interest in the Purchaser; or (4) any person for whom the Purchaser is acting as agent or nominee in connection with this investment is a senior foreign political figure2, or any immediate family3 member or close associate4 of a senior foreign political figure, as such terms are defined in the footnotes below.
(bb)
If the Purchaser is affiliated with a non-U.S. banking institution (a “Foreign Bank”), or if the Purchaser receives deposits from, makes payments on behalf of, or handles other financial transactions related to a Foreign Bank, the Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company that: (1) the Foreign Bank has a fixed address, other than solely an electronic address, in a country in which the Foreign Bank is authorized to conduct banking activities; (2) the Foreign Bank maintains operating records related to its banking activities; (3) the Foreign Bank is subject to inspection by the banking authority that licensed the Foreign Bank to conduct banking activities; and (4) the Foreign Bank does not provide banking services to any other Foreign Bank that does not have a physical presence in any country and that is not a regulated affiliate.
(cc)
(For ERISA plans only) The fiduciary of the ERISA plan represents that such fiduciary has been informed of and understands the Company’s investment objectives, policies and strategies, and that the decision to invest “plan assets” (as such term is defined in ERISA) in the Company is consistent with the provisions of ERISA that require diversification of plan assets and impose other fiduciary responsibilities. The Purchaser fiduciary or plan (a) is responsible for the decision to invest in the Company; (b) is independent of the Company or any of its affiliates; (c) is qualified to make such investment decision; and (d) in making such decision, the Purchaser fiduciary or plan has not relied primarily on any advice or recommendation of the Company or any of its affiliates.
(dd)
The Purchaser: (i) if a natural person, represents on its behalf; or (ii) if a corporation, partnership, or limited liability company or partnership, or association, joint stock corporation or other entity, represents on its behalf and the behalf of its officers, directors and principal stockholders, connected with the Purchaser at the time of this Agreement, that it is not subject to any “Bad Actor” disqualifications described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i) to (viii)

THE PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE CLASS A COMMON STOCK IS PUBLICLY QUOTED ON THE OTC BULLETIN BOARD AND THAT BY ACCEPTING THE MEMORANDUM THE PURCHASER AGREES WITH THE COMPANY TO MAINTAIN IN STRICT CONFIDENCE ALL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE EXISTENCE OF THE OFFERING AND ANY OTHER NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION REGARDING THE COMPANY OBTAINED FROM THIS MEMORANDUM AND ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT AND/OR FROM THE COMPANY, THE PLACEMENT AGENT AND/OR EITHER OF THEIR AUTHORIZED AGENTS.

Registration Rights.
(a)
No later than sixty (60) days following the final Closing (the “Filing Deadline”), the Company will file a registration statement with the SEC to register the resale by the Purchaser of shares of Class A Common Stock included in the Units and the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants included in the Units (the “Warrant Shares”) so as to permit the public resale thereof (the “Resale Registration Statement”). The Company will use its reasonable efforts to ensure that such Resale Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC within ninety (90) days of the Filing Deadline. If (i) the Company should fail to file the Resale Registration Statement by the Filing Deadline, or (ii) it is not declared effective within ninety (90) days of the Filing Deadline, then within five (5) business days of the end of month the Company shall pay the Purchaser an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages, equal to two percent (2%) of the aggregate purchase price paid by such Purchaser for each 30 days, or portion thereof, until the earlier of the date the deficiency is cured or the expiration of six (6) months from Filing Deadline (the “Penalty”).
(b)
No Purchaser shall be entitled to a payment pursuant to this Section 8 if effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement has been delayed or a prospectus has been unavailable as a result of (i) a failure by such Purchaser to promptly provide on request by the Company the information required under the Agreement or requested by the SEC as a condition to effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement; (ii) the provision of inaccurate or incomplete information by such Purchaser; or (iii) a statement or determination of the SEC that any provision of the rights of the Purchaser under this Agreement are contrary to the provisions of the Securities Act.
(c)
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any (i) any publicly-available written guidance, or rule of general applicability of the SEC staff, or (ii) oral or written comments, requirements or requests of the SEC staff to the Company in connection with the review of the Resale Registration Statement sets forth a limitation on the number of Warrant Shares to be registered in the Resale Registration Statement (the “SEC Guidance”) (and the Company has used its best efforts to advocate with the SEC for the registration of all or the maximum number of Warrant Shares), the number of Warrant Shares to be registered on such Resale Registration Statement will be reduced on a pro rata basis among the Purchasers based on the total number of Warrant Shares held by such Purchasers. The Company shall not be liable for a Penalty to any Warrant Shares which are not permitted by the SEC to be included in the Resale Registration Statement due solely to SEC Guidance from time to time. In such case, any Penalty payable under Section 8(a) shall be calculated to apply only to the percentage of Warrant Shares which are permitted in accordance with SEC Guidance to be included in such Resale Registration Statement.
