8 |
The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company, within three (3) business days, shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of the Securities upon which it is stamped, if, unless otherwise required by state securities laws, (i) the Buyer or its broker make the necessary representations and warranties to the transfer agent for the Company Common Stock that it has complied with the prospectus delivery requirements in connection with a sale transaction, provided the Securities are registered under the Securities Act or (ii) in connection with a sale transaction, after such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company, which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities may be made without registration under the Securities Act.
(q) Organization and Standing of Buyer. If the Buyer is an entity, it is duly incorporated or organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization. If the Buyer is an individual, he or she is at least the greater of (a) eighteen (18) years of age or (b) the age of legal majority in his or her jurisdiction of residence.
(r) Authorization, Enforcement. The Buyer has the requisite power and authority to enter into and perform under this Agreement, and the other Transaction Documents and to purchase the Securities being sold to it hereunder. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents by such Buyer and the consummation by the Buyer of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or partnership action, and no further consent or authorization of the Buyer or the Buyer’s Board of Directors, stockholders, partners, members, as the case may be, is required. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (to the extent the Buyer is party thereto) have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Buyer and upon execution of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents by the other parties hereto and thereto, constitute, or shall constitute when executed and delivered, a valid and binding obligation of the Buyer enforceable against the Buyer in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies.
(s) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the consummation by the Buyer of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or relating hereto do not and will not (i) if the Buyer is not an individual, result in a violation of such Buyer’s charter documents or bylaws or other organizational documents or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of any agreement, indenture or instrument or obligation to which the Buyer is a party or by which its properties or assets are bound, or result in a violation of any law, rule, or regulation, or any order, judgment or decree of any court or governmental agency applicable to the Buyer or its properties (except for such conflicts, defaults and violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on such Buyer). The Buyer is not required to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or governmental agency in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents or to purchase the Securities in accordance with the terms hereof, provided that for purposes of the representation made in this sentence, the Buyer is assuming and relying upon the accuracy of the relevant representations and agreements of the Company and CÜR Media herein.
9 |
(t) Receipt of Documents.

(u) Status as a Former Shell Company. Each Buyer understands that CÜR Media is a former “shell company” as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act. CÜR Media ceased to be a “shell company” on January 28, 2014, and filed Form 10 type information under cover of Form 8-K on February 3, 2014. Pursuant to Rule 144(i), securities issued by a current or former shell company (such as the Securities) that otherwise meet the holding period and other requirements of Rule 144 nevertheless cannot be sold in reliance on Rule 144 until one year after such company (a) is no longer a shell company; and (b) has filed current “Form 10 information” (as defined in Rule 144(i)) with the SEC reflecting that it is no longer a shell company, and provided that at the time of a proposed sale pursuant to Rule 144, such company is subject to the reporting requirements of section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and has filed all reports and other materials required to be filed by section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports. As a result, the restrictive legends on certificates for the Securities cannot be removed except in connection with an actual sale meeting the foregoing requirements or pursuant to an effective registration statement.
(v)Trading Activities. The Buyer’s trading activities with respect to the Company’s and/or CÜR Media’s capital stock shall be in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws, rules and regulations and the rules and regulations of the principal market on which the Company’s and/or CÜR Media’s capital stock is listed or traded, as applicable. Neither the Buyer nor its affiliates has an open short position in the Company’s and/or CÜR Media’s capital stock, as applicable, and, except as set forth below, the Buyer shall not, and shall not cause any of its affiliates under common control with the Buyer, to engage in any short sale as defined in any applicable SEC or Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) rules on any hedging transactions with respect to the Company’s and/or CÜR Media’s capital stock until the earlier to occur of (i) the third anniversary of the Closing Date, or (ii) the Buyer no longer owns the Company’s and/or CÜR Media’s capital stock. Without limiting the foregoing, the Buyer agrees not to engage in any naked short transactions in excess of the amount of shares owned (or an offsetting long position) by the Buyer.
10 |
(w) Regulation FD. The Buyer acknowledges and agrees that certain of the information received by it in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is of a confidential nature and may be regarded as material non-public information under Regulation FD promulgated by the SEC and that such information has been furnished to the Buyer for the sole purpose of enabling the Buyer to consider and evaluate an investment in the Securities. The Buyer agrees that it will treat such information in a confidential manner, will not use such information for any purpose other than evaluating an investment in the Securities, will not, directly or indirectly, trade or permit the Buyer’s agents, representatives or affiliates to trade in any securities of the Company or CÜR Media while in possession of such information and will not, directly or indirectly, disclose or permit the Buyer’s agents, representatives or affiliates to disclose any of such information without the Company’s or CÜR Media’s prior written consent, as applicable. The Buyer shall make its agents, affiliates and representatives aware of the confidential nature of the information contained herein and the terms of this section including the Buyer’s agreement to not disclose such information, to not trade in the Company’s or CÜR Media’s securities, as applicable, while in the possession of such information, and to be responsible for any disclosure or other improper use of such information by such agents, affiliates or representatives. Likewise, without the Company’s or CÜR Media’s prior written consent, as applicable, the Buyer will not, directly or indirectly, make any statements, public announcements or other release or provision of information in any form to any trade publication, to the press or to any other person or entity whose primary business is or includes the publication or dissemination of information related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(x) No Legal Advice from the Company or CÜR Media. The Buyer acknowledges that it had the opportunity to review this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with its own legal counsel and investment and tax Advisors. The Buyer is relying solely on such Advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or CÜR Media, or any of their employees, representatives or agents for legal, tax, economic and related considerations or investment advice with respect to this investment, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the securities laws of any jurisdiction.
(y) No Group Participation. The Buyer and its affiliates is not a member of any group, nor is any Buyer acting in concert with any other person, including any other person with respect to its acquisition of the Securities.

The Company shall, on or before the Closing Date, take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary to qualify the Securities, or obtain an exemption for Securities for sale to the Buyer at the Closing pursuant to this Agreement under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States and shall provide evidence of any such action so taken to the Buyer on or prior to each Closing Date.
(c) Reporting Status. CÜR Media has not yet filed (i) Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2016, September 30, 2016, March 31, 2017, and June 30, 2017, and (ii) an Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 (the “Late Periodic Reports”) and, therefore, is not current with its SEC Filings. CÜR Media plans to use a portion of the proceeds from the New Note Offering to pay professional fees required to file the Late Periodic Reports and become current as soon as possible after the Closing. Going forward, until the date on which the Buyer shall have sold all of the New Note Warrant Shares, or any securities exchanged for such New Note Warrant Shares in connection with the Combination Transaction, CÜR Media shall use best efforts to file in a timely manner (or, with respect to Form 8-K reports, shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to file in a timely manner) all reports required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act, and the regulations of the SEC thereunder, and CÜR Media shall not terminate its status as an issuer required to file reports under the Exchange Act even if the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would otherwise permit such termination.
(d) Listings or Quotation. The CÜR Media Common Stock is currently traded on the OTC Pink Limited Information marketplace under the symbol “CURM”. CÜR Media plans to upgrade the CÜR Media Common Stock to the OTCQB marketplace as soon as possible following the Closing, by filing the Late Periodic Reports and taking any other required action. Following the upgrade, and until the date the Buyer shall have sold all of the New Note Warrant Shares, or any securities exchanged for the New Note Warrant Shares in connection with the Combination Transaction, CÜR Media shall use its best efforts to maintain the listing or quotation of the CÜR Media Common Stock upon the OTCQB tier of the OTC marketplace.
(e) Contracts with the Labels. The Company and CÜR Media are currently negotiating licensing agreements (“Content Licensing Agreements”) with the three major music labels, Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment and Warner Music Group (the “Labels”). Prior to Closing, the Company and CÜR Media shall have completed negotiation of the Content Licensing Agreements with the Labels, subject only to payment of any required advances or other content licensing fees due pursuant to the Content Licensing Agreements with the Labels (“Label Payments”). The Content Licensing Agreements shall enable CÜR Media to digitally distribute sound recordings and related materials owned or controlled by the Labels in connection with its CÜR-branded Internet music service, CUR Music. Until the date on which the Buyer shall have sold all of the New Note Warrant Shares, or any securities exchanged for the New Note Warrant Shares in connection with the Combination Transaction, the Company, or the Combined Company, as applicable, shall use best efforts to maintain the Content Licensing Agreements with the Labels.
25 |
(f) Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the proceeds from the New Note Offering (after deducting fees and expenses related to the New Note Offering (including Placement Agent fees, if applicable, legal fees and expenses, and fees payable to the Escrow Agent)): (1) to pay any required Label Payments due to the Labels pursuant to the Content Licensing Agreements with the Labels sufficient to allow CÜR Media to proceed with soliciting subscriptions for CÜR Music, (2) to pay monthly payments due to the Buyer under the New Note, and (3) to extend a line of credit to CÜR Media for up to the full amount of the aggregate net proceeds from the New Note Offering (and the Preferred Stock Unit Offering), (a) to enable CUR Media to pay outstanding accounts payable of CÜR Media, to be negotiated into structured settlements, and CÜR Media’s employee deferred compensation, and (b) for working capital and general corporate purposes.

(h) Combination Transaction. The Company is negotiating a Combination Transaction with the CÜR Media. Any securities of the Combined Company issued to the Buyer at the effective time of the Combination Transaction, in exchange for the New Note Warrants of New Note Warrant Shares, will be at an exchange rate of 1-for-1, with appropriate adjustments and, otherwise, on their original terms and conditions. At the effective time of the Merger, if applicable, the Combined Company will assume the New Note. At the effective time of the Asset Acquisition, if applicable, the Company will remain responsible for the obligations under the New Note.
(i) Registration Rights. Upon consummation of the Merger, the Buyer shall have registration rights with respect to the New Note Warrant Shares, or any securities exchanged for such New Note Warrant Shares in connection with the Merger, pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement.
(j) Security Interest; Lien. The New Note will be secured by a first priority security interest in and lien on the Company Assets. The New Note will be senior to all existing indebtedness of the Company; provided, however, that the Buyer’s security interest in and lien on the Company Assets will rank pari passu with the first priority security interest in and lien on the Company Assets granted to the purchasers of Preferred Stock Units sold by the Company in the Company’s Preferred Stock Unit Offering. At such time as the security interest in and lien on the Company Assets held by the purchasers of Preferred Stock Units terminates, the security interest in and lien on the Company Assets held by the Buyer will continue in first priority position.
26 |
(k) Warrant Anti-Dilution Price Protection. The New Note Warrants shall have “full ratchet” anti-dilution price protection in the event that the Company shall issue additional shares of Company Common Stock or Company Common Stock equivalents (subject to customary exceptions), prior to the twenty-four (24) month anniversary of the Closing, for a consideration per share of less than the Exercise Price.
(l) Indemnification of Buyer. In consideration of the Buyer’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and acquiring the Securities hereunder, and in addition to all of the Company’s other obligations under this Agreement, the Company shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer, and all of its officers, directors, employees and agents (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Buyer Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by the Buyer Indemnitees or any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any actual or alleged false acknowledgment, representation or warranty, or misrepresentation or omission to state a material fact by the Company or (b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company contained in this Agreement. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities, which is permissible under applicable law. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of any Buyer Indemnitee against the Company or others, and any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to law.
(m) Delivery of the New Note and Other Transaction Documents. Promptly after the Closing Date, but in no instance more than seven (7) business days after the Closing, the Company shall deliver to the Buyer, the New Note, in the amount set forth on the Buyer Omnibus Signature Page affixed hereto, together with fully-executed copies of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, each duly executed on behalf of the Company.
(n) Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company, CÜR Media and/or the Combined Company, as applicable, shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of such company’s common stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the exercise of the New Note Warrants, and/or any securities exchanged for the New Note Warrants in connection with the Combination Transaction, such number of its shares of common stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the exercise of all of the outstanding New Note Warrants and/or any securities exchanged for such New Note Warrants in connection with the Combination Transaction. If at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of common stock of the Company, CÜR Media and/or the Combined Company, as applicable, shall not be sufficient to effect the exercise of all then outstanding New Note Warrants, and/or any securities exchanged for the New Note Warrants in connection with the Combination Transaction, the Company, CÜR Media and/or the Combined Company, as applicable, will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of such company’s common stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to the Articles of Incorporation.

(q) ANTI MONEY LAUNDERING REQUIREMENTS
The USA PATRIOT Act | What is money laundering? | How big is the problem and why is it important? |
The USA PATRIOT Act is designed to detect, deter, and punish terrorists in the United States and abroad. The Act imposes new anti-money laundering requirements on brokerage firms and financial institutions. Since April 24, 2002, all brokerage firms have been required to have new, comprehensive anti-money laundering programs.
To help you understand these efforts, we want to provide you with some information about money laundering and our steps to implement the USA PATRIOT Act. | Money laundering is the process of disguising illegally obtained money so that the funds appear to come from legitimate sources or activities. Money laundering occurs in connection with a wide variety of crimes, including illegal arms sales, drug trafficking, robbery, fraud, racketeering, and terrorism. | The use of the U.S. financial system by criminals to facilitate terrorism or other crimes could well taint our financial markets. According to the U.S. State Department, one recent estimate puts the amount of worldwide money laundering activity at $1 trillion a year. |
What are we required to do to eliminate money laundering? | |
Under new rules required by the USA PATRIOT Act, our anti-money laundering program must designate a special compliance officer, set up employee training, conduct independent audits, and establish policies and procedures to detect and report suspicious transaction and ensure compliance with the new laws. | As part of our required program, we may ask you to provide various identification documents or other information. Until you provide the information or documents we need, we may not be able to effect any transactions for you. |
(r) Omnibus Signature Page. This Agreement is intended to be read and construed in conjunction with the New Note, the New Note Warrant, the Security Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, and the Registration Rights Agreement.

ANTI MONEY LAUNDERING REQUIREMENTS
The USA PATRIOT Act
The USA PATRIOT Act is designed to detect, deter, and punish terrorists in the United States and abroad. The Act imposes new anti-money laundering requirements on brokerage firms and financial institutions. Since April 24, 2002 all brokerage firms have been required to have new, comprehensive anti-money laundering programs.
To help you understand these efforts, we want to provide you with some information about money laundering and our steps to implement the USA PATRIOT Act.
What is money laundering?
Money laundering is the process of disguising illegally obtained money so that the funds appear to come from legitimate sources or activities. Money laundering occurs in connection with a wide variety of crimes, including illegal arms sales, drug trafficking, robbery, fraud, racketeering, and terrorism.
How big is the problem and why is it important?
The use of the U.S. financial system by criminals to facilitate terrorism or other crimes could well taint our financial markets. According to the U.S. State Department, one recent estimate puts the amount of worldwide money laundering activity at $1 trillion a year.
What are we required to do to eliminate money laundering?
Under rules required by the USA PATRIOT Act, our anti-money laundering program must designate a special compliance officer, set up employee training, conduct independent audits, and establish policies and procedures to detect and report suspicious transaction and ensure compliance with such laws. As part of our required program, we may ask you to provide various identification documents or other information. Until you provide the information or documents we need, we may not be able to effect any transactions for you.
