Ladies and Gentlemen:
Mobiquity Technologies, Inc., a New York corporation (the “Company”) is seeking to raise funds on a “best efforts” basis through the sale of Units at a purchase price of $100,00,000 per Unit. Each Unit consists of an unsecured Convertible Promissory Note in the amount of $100,000 (hereinafter referred to as the “Notes”) and an origination fee of 5,000 restricted shares of common stock. The Notes will be due and payable on October 31, 2021 (the “Maturity Date”). The Notes are convertible through the Maturity Date at the option of the Subscriber at a conversion price of $6.00 per share.
