Investment Agreement, Registration Rights Agreement and Escrow Agreement with Beaufort Capital Partners LLC

As of June 25, 2014, iHookup Social, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Investment Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) with Beaufort Capital Partners LLC (“Beaufort”), pursuant to which the Company may issue and sell to Beaufort Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000) of the Company’s fully registered, freely tradable common stock (the “Shares”). The parties also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement dated June 25, 2014, whereby the Company has agreed to provide certain registration rights under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and applicable state laws (the “Registration Agreement”, and together with the Investment Agreement, the “Agreements”). Pursuant to the Agreements, the Company shall register the Shares pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (or on such other form as is available to the Company within 21 days of the execution of the Agreements) (the “Registration Statement”). The Company shall reserve thirty million (30,000,000) shares of its common stock for the above issuance.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Investment Agreement, the Company, at its sole and exclusive option, may issue and sell to Beaufort, and Beaufort shall purchase from the Company, the Shares upon the Company’s delivery of written notices to Beaufort.  The aggregate maximum amount of all purchases that Beaufort shall be obligated to make under the Investment Agreement shall not exceed $2,500,000.  Once a written notice is received by Beaufort, it shall not be terminated, withdrawn or otherwise revoked by the Company.

The amount for each purchase of the Shares as designated by the Company in the applicable notices shall not be more than (i) two hundred percent (200%) of the average trading volume of the Company’s common stock of the ten (10) trading days prior to the date of delivery of the written notice by the Company to Beaufort,  or (ii) the number of Shares which would cause the aggregate holdings of Beaufort shares of common stock of the Company to be greater than 4.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company.

The purchase price for the Shares to be paid by Beaufort shall be eighty percent (80%) of the average of the three (3) lowest closing daily prices of the Company’s common stock during the five (5) consecutive trading days prior to the date of the notice from the Company to Beaufort. During such five (5) consecutive trading day period, the Company shall not subdivide or combine its common stock, or pay a common stock dividend or make any other purchase of its common stock.

During the term of the Investment Agreement (36 months unless sooner terminated), the Company shall not enter into any purchase or sale of future priced securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become, convertible or exchangeable into shares of its common stock pursuant to any equity line financing registered with the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on a Form S-1.

Also, during such term, the Company shall not enter into, amend, modify, or permit any transaction or arrangement with any of its officers, directors, persons who were officers or directors at any time during the previous two years, shareholders (and any of their family members) who beneficially own 5% or more of the common stock, or affiliates, except for (i) customary employment arrangements and benefit programs on reasonable terms, (ii) any arms-length agreement or transaction on terms no less favorable than terms which would have been obtainable rom a disinterested third party, or (iii) any transaction or arrangement approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company.

The parties have also entered into an Escrow Agreement dated June 25, 2014, whereby Beaufort agreed to provide the legal expenses necessary to file the Registration Statement. In return, the Company has agreed to deposit 3,000,000 shares of its common stock (the “Escrow Shares”) into an escrow account. In the event the SEC declares the Registration Statement to be effective, the Escrow Shares will be returned to the Company. However, in the event of a breach of any material term of the Agreements, or the SEC rejects the Registration Statement, or the Company withdraws the Registration Statement prior to its effectiveness, the Escrow Shares will be delivered to Beaufort.

 
 

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreements and Escrow Agreement, which are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.69, 10.70 and 10.71 and incorporated herein by reference.

Section 2.6. Removal of Restricted Legends. If the Company is fully reporting six months after the issuance of any restricted stock to Investor upon a Break Event (as described in Section 12.4 below), and the Company rejects the Investors request to direct the Company’s transfer agent to remove the restricted legend from the Investor’s stock certificate five trading days after the Investor’s request to remove such restricted legend. If the Company fails to so instruct the transfer agent wirthin such time, then the Company shall pay the Investor $1,000.00 for each day beyond the five trading days the Company fails to remove such restricted legend. Company covenants that, except as set forth below, there shall be no justifiable reason not to remove the restricted legend from the stock certificates and in the event that Company attempts to offer such justification, the Company shall pay the Investor $$2,000.00 for each day beyond the five trading days the company fails to remove such restricted legend. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be liable to pay the Investor either of the above fees if the Investor is not in full compliance with the applicable rules and regulations used to remove any restricted legend or fails reasonably comply with requests by the Company or its transfer agent related to the removal of the restricted legend or is otherwise in breach of this Agreement.

Section 2.7  Increase in Commitment Amount.  At any time prior to the one year anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Commitment Increase Date”) the Company may notify the Investor in writing that it wishes to increase the Commitment Amount (provided that the Company has the ability to register the additional Commitment Amount on the Registration Statement) effective upon the Commitment Increase Date and the Commitment Amount shall automatically be deemed increased.

Any and all costs that Investor pays for relating to clearing and processing stock certificates shall be deducted from any payment the Company receives from Investor.

Section 2.9 Overall Limit on Issuable Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if during the Commitment Period the Company becomes listed on an exchange that limits the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued without shareholder approval, then the total number of Advance Shares issuable by the Company and purchasable by the Investor pursuant to this Agreement shall not exceed that number of shares of Common Stock that may be issuable without shareholder approval (the “Maximum Common Stock Issuance”).  If such issuance of Advance Shares could cause a delisting on the Principal Market, then the Maximum Common Stock Issuance shall first be approved by the Company's shareholders in accordance with applicable law and the By-laws and Amended and

 
 

Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company. The parties understand and agree that the Company's failure to seek or obtain such shareholder approval shall in no way adversely affect the validity and due authorization of the issuance and sale of Advance Shares in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof to the Investor or the Investor's obligation in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof to purchase a number of Advance Shares in the aggregate up to the Maximum Common Stock Issuance limitation, and that such approval pertains only to the applicability of the Maximum Common Stock Issuance limitation provided in this Section 2.9.

Valuation Event shall mean an event in which the Company at any time during a Pricing Period takes any of the following actions: (i) subdivides or combines its Common Stock or (ii) pays a dividend in Ordinary Shares or makes any other purchase of its Ordinary Shares.

ARTICLE V.
Indemnification

The Investor and the Company represent to the other the following with respect to itself:

Section 5.1. Indemnification.

(a) In consideration of the Investor’s execution and delivery of this Agreement, and in addition to all of the Company’s other obligations under this Agreement, the Company shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Investor, and all of its officers, directors, partners, employees and agents (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Investor 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 , and including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by the Investor Indemnitees or any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company contained in this Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated

 
 

hereby or thereby, or (c) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against such Investor Indemnitee not arising out of any action or inaction of an Investor Indemnitee., 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.

(b) In consideration for the Company’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and in addition to Investor’s other obligations hereunder, Investor shall defend, protect. indemnify and hold harmless the Investor, and all of its officers, directors, partners, employees and agents (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Company Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Indemnificed Liabilities, incurred by the Company Indemnitees or any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by Investor in this Agreement or or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of Investor contained in this Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, or (c) any investigation or claim by the SEC of or against Investor.

(b) Contribution.  In the event that the indemnity provided in Section 5.1 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the indemnifying party severally agrees to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending the same) (collectively “Losses”) to which theindemnifying party may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party on the one hand from transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Company and the Investor severally shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Investor on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  Benefits received by the Company shall be deemed to be equal to the total proceeds from the offering (net of underwriting discounts and commissions but before deducting expenses) received by it, and benefits received by the Investor shall be deemed to be equal to the total discounts received by the Investor.  Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the Company on the one hand or the Investor on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission.  The Company and the Investor agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above.  The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this section shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified Party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this section the Investor shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the Purchase Price for Shares actually purchased pursuant to this Agreement exceeds the amount of any damages which the Investor has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.  For purposes of this Article V, each person who controls the Investor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of the Investor shall have the same rights to contribution as the Investor, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this section.

I  The remedies provided for in this Article V are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified person at law or in equity.  The obligations of the parties to indemnify or make contribution under this Article V shall survive termination.

(d)  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither party to this Agreement shall be responsible or liable for any indirect, special, punitive, or consequential damages actually or allegedly suffered or incurred by the other party to this Agreement arising under, out of, or relating to this Agreement even if the other party has been advised or knew, or should have known, of the possibility thereof.

Section 5.2 Notification of Claims for Indemnification. Each party entitled to indemnification under this Article V (an “Indemnified Party”) shall, promptly after the receipt of notice of the commencement of any claim against such Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought from the party obligated to indemnify such Indemnified Party under this Article V (the “Indemnifying Party”), notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the commencement thereof. Any such notice shall describe the claim in reasonable detail. The failure of any Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party of any such action shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which it may have to such Indemnified Party (a) other than pursuant to this Article V or (b) under this Article V unless, and only to the extent that, such failure results in the Indemnifying Party’s forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses or the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such delay. The procedures listed below shall govern the procedures for the handling of indemnification claims.

(a) Any claim for indemnification for Indemnified Liabilities that do not result from a Third Party Claim as defined in the following paragraph, shall be asserted by written notice given by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party. Such Indemnifying Party shall have a period of thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice within which to respond thereto. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such thirty (30) day period, such Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have refused to accept responsibility to make payment as set forth in Section 5.1. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such thirty (30) day period or rejects such claim in whole or in part, the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as specified in this Agreement.

(b) If an Indemnified Party shall receive notice or otherwise learn of the assertion by a person or entity not a party to this Agreement of any threatened legal action or claim (collectively a “Third Party Claim”), with respect to which an Indemnifying Party may be obligated to provide indemnification, the Indemnified Party shall give such Indemnifying Party written notice thereof within twenty (20) days after becoming aware of such Third Party Claim.

(c) An Indemnifying Party may elect to defend (and, unless the Indemnifying Party has specified any reservations or exceptions, to seek to settle or compromise) at such Indemnifying Party’s own expense and by such Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, any Third Party Claim. Within thirty (30) days after the receipt of notice from an Indemnified Party (or sooner if the nature of such Third Party Claim so

 
 

requires), the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party whether the Indemnifying Party will assume responsibility for defending such Third Party Claim, which election shall specify any reservations or exceptions. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such thirty (30) day period or rejects such claim in whole or in part, the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as specified in this Agreement. In case any such Third Party Claim shall be brought against any Indemnified Party, and it shall notify the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof at its own expense, with counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in its reasonable judgment; provided, however, that any Indemnified Party may, at its own expense, retain separate counsel to participate in such defense at its own expense.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

THIS REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of the 25th day of June 2014 (the “Agreement”) between Beaufort Capital Partners LLC (the “Investor”), and iHookup Social, Inc. (the “Company”).

WHEREAS:

A. In connection with the Investment Agreement by and between the parties hereto of even date herewith (the “Investment Agreement”), the Company has agreed, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Investment Agreement, to issue and sell to the Investor shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock ”), which can be purchased pursuant to the terms of the Investment Agreement. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Investment Agreement.

B. To induce the Investor to execute and deliver the Investment Agreement, the Company has agreed to provide certain registration rights under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, or any similar successor statute (collectively, the “ Securities Act ”), and applicable state securities laws.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Investor hereby agree as follows:

1. DEFINITIONS.

As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

a. “Person” means a corporation, a limited liability company, an association, a partnership, an organization, a business, an individual, a governmental or political subdivision thereof or a governmental agency.

b. “Register,” “registered ,” and “registration ” refer to a registration effected by preparing and filing one or more Registration Statements (as defined below) in compliance with the Securities Act and pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act or any successor rule providing for offering securities on a continuous or delayed basis (“Rule 415”), and the declaration or ordering of effectiveness of such Registration Statement(s) by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

c. “Registrable Securities” means the Investor’s Shares, as defined in the Investment Agreement, the Commitment Shares and shares of Common Stock issuable to Investors pursuant to the Investment Agreement.

d. “Registration Statement” means a registration statement under the Securities Act which covers the Registrable Securities.

2. REGISTRATION.

a. Filing of a Registration Statement. The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-1 or on such other form as is available within twenty one (21) days of signing this Agreement. Failure to file such Registration Statement within twenty one (21) days of signing this Agreement shall be considered a breach of a material term of this Agreement. The Company shall cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC prior to the first sale to the Investor of the Company’s Common Stock pursuant to the Investment Agreement. After a Registration Statement is declared effective, the Company shall insure that the Registration Statement and any subsequent Registration Statements remain in effect until all of the Registrable Securities have been sold, or may be sold without restriction pursuant to Rule 144.

b. Sufficient Number of Shares Registered. In the event the number of shares available under a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(a) is insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities the Company shall amend the Registration Statement, or file a new Registration Statement, or both, so as to cover all of such Registrable Securities as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than fifteen (15) days after the necessity therefore arises. The Company shall use it best efforts to cause such amendment and/or new Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof. For purposes of the foregoing provision, the number of shares available under a Registration Statement shall be deemed “insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities” if at any time the number of Registrable Securities issuable on an Advance Notice Date is greater than the number of shares available for resale under such Registration Statement.

3. RELATED OBLIGATIONS.

a. The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to a Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with such Registration Statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the Securities Act, as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective at all times during the Registration Period, and, during such period, comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by such Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in such Registration Statement. In the case of amendments and supplements to a Registration Statement which are required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this Section 3(b)) by reason of the Company’s filing a report on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q or Form 8-K or any analogous report under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company shall have incorporated such report by reference into the Registration Statement, if applicable, or shall file such amendments or supplements with the SEC on the same day on which the Exchange Act report is filed which created the requirement for the Company to amend or supplement the Registration Statement.

 
 

b. The Company shall furnish to the Investor without charge, (i) at least one copy of such Registration Statement as declared effective by the SEC and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference, all exhibits and each preliminary prospectus, (ii) ten (10) copies of the final prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (or such other number of copies as such Investor may reasonably request) and (iii) such other documents as such Investor may reasonably request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Investor.  

c. The Company shall use its best efforts to (i) register and qualify the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Investor reasonably requests, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions, such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (w) make any change to its certificate of incorporation or by-laws, (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(d), (y) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction. The Company shall promptly notify the Investor of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the registration or qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.

d. As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event or development, the Company shall notify the Investor in writing of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in a Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (provided that in no event shall such notice contain any material, nonpublic information), and promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver ten (10) copies of such supplement or amendment to each Investor. The Company shall also promptly notify the Investor in writing (i) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment has become effective (notification of such effectiveness shall be delivered to the Investor by facsimile on the same day of such effectiveness), (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related prospectus or related information, and (iii) of the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would be appropriate.

e. The Company shall use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction within the United States of America and, if such an order or suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible moment and to notify the Investor of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose. 

f. At the reasonable request of the Investor, the Company shall furnish to the Investor, on the date of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and thereafter from time to time on such dates as the Investor may reasonably request (i) a letter, dated such date, from the Company’s independent certified public accountants in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, and (ii) an opinion, dated as of such date, of counsel representing the Company for purposes of such Registration Statement, in form, scope and substance as is customarily given in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the Investor.

g. The Company shall make available to the Investor (i) copies of any draft Registration Statement at least 3 business days prior to filing thereof, and (ii) subject to restrictions imposed by the United States federal government or any agency or instrumentality thereof, copies of all public correspondence between the Commission and the Company concerning the Registration Statement. The Company will make available for inspection by the Investor and any attorney, accountant or other professional retained by the Investor (collectively, the “Inspector ”) all pertinent financial and other records, and pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the “Records”), as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information which any Inspector may reasonably request in connection with the Registration Statement. The Investor agrees that Records obtained by it as a result of such inspections which is conspicuously marked by the Company as “Confidential” (subject to the Company’s obligations with respect to material non-public information set forth in Section 8.1(a) herein) shall be deemed confidential and held in strict confidence by the Investor, unless (a) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement or is otherwise required under the Securities Act, (b) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a final, non-appealable subpoena or order from a court or government body of competent jurisdiction, or (c) the information in such Records has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this or any other agreement of which the Inspector and the Investor has knowledge. The Investor agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, the Records deemed confidential.

h. The Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information concerning the Investor provided to the Company unless (i) disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws, (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement, (iii) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other final, non-appealable order from a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction, or (iv) such information has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or any other agreement. The Company agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning the Investor is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt written notice to the Investor and allow the Investor, at the Investor’s expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such information.

i. The Company shall use its best efforts either to cause all the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement (i) to be listed on each securities exchange on which securities of the same class or series issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange or to secure the inclusion for quotation on a Primary Market. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligation under this Section 3(i).

 
 

j. The Company shall cooperate with the Investor to the extent applicable, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legend) representing the Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to a Registration Statement and enable such certificates to be in such denominations or amounts, as the case may be, as the Investor may reasonably request and registered in such names as the Investor may request.

k. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by the applicable Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities.

l. The Company shall make generally available to its security holders as soon as practical, but not later than ninety (90) days after the close of the period covered thereby, an earnings statement (in form complying with the provisions of Rule 158 under the Securities Act) covering a twelve-month period beginning not later than the first day of the Company’s fiscal quarter next following the effective date of the Registration Statement.

m. The Company shall otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC in connection with any registration hereunder.

n. Within two (2) business days after a Registration Statement which covers Registrable Securities is ordered effective by the SEC, the Company shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the transfer agent for such Registrable Securities (with copies to the Investor) confirmation that such Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

o. The Company shall take all other reasonable actions necessary to expedite and facilitate disposition by the Investor of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement. The Commitment Shares in the Investment Agreement between the Company and Investor shall be accepted by the Investor’s brokerage account prior to an Advance Notice being sent to the Investor.

4. OBLIGATIONS OF THE INVESTOR.

The Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(d), the Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement(s) covering such Registrable Securities until the Investor’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(d) or receipt of notice that no supplement or amendment is equired. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended certificates for shares of Common Stock to a transferee of the Investor in accordance with the terms of the Investment Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which the Investor has entered into a contract for sale prior to the Investor’s receipt of a notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(d) and for which the Investor has not yet settled.

5. EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION.

6. INDEMNIFICATION .

With respect to Registrable Securities which are included in a Registration Statement under this Agreement:

a. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Investor, the directors, officers, partners, employees, agents, representatives of, and each Person, if any, who controls the Investor within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each, an “Indemnified Person”), against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees, amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several (collectively, “Claims”) incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an indemnified party is or may be a party thereto (“Indemnified Damages”), to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the offering under the securities or other “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered (“Blue Sky Filing”), or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading; or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other law, including, without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation there under relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) being, collectively, “Violations”). The Company shall reimburse the Investor and each such controlling person promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any legal fees or disbursements or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained   herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a): (x) shall not apply to a Claim by an Indemnified Person arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto; (y) shall not be available to the extent such Claim is based on a failure of the Investor to deliver or to cause to be delivered the prospectus made available by the Company, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(e); and (z) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person.

b. In connection with a Registration Statement, the Investor agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who

 
 

controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each an “Indemnified Party”), against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or is based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Investor expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement; and, subject to Section 6(d), the Investor will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, further, however, that the Investor shall be liable under this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds to the Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(b) with respect to any prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Indemnified Party if the untrue statement or omission of material fact contained in the prospectus was corrected and such new prospectus was delivered to the Investor prior to the Investor’s use of the prospectus to which the Claim relates.

c. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that an Idemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of not more than one counsel for such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person which relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent, provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

d. The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred.

e. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

7. CONTRIBUTION.

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 under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that: (i) no seller of Registrable 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 Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities.  

8. REPORTS UNDER THE EXCHANGE ACT.

With a view to making available to the Investor the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or any similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investors to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration (“Rule 144”) the Company agrees to:

a. make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;

b. file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements (it being understood that nothing herein shall limit the Company’s obligations under Section 6.3 of the Investment Agreement) and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and

c. furnish to the Investor so long as the Investor owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Investor to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.

9. AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

 
 

Provisions of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only by a written agreement between the Company and the Investor. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 9 shall be binding upon the Investor and the Company. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of this Agreement unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the parties to this Agreement.

10. MISCELLANEOUS.

FORM OF NOTICE OF EFFECTIVENESS
OF REGISTRATION STATEMENT

Attention:

Re: iHookup Social, Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We are counsel to iHookup Social, Inc. (the “Company”), and have represented the Company in connection with that certain Investment Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) entered into by and between the Company and Beaufort Capital Partners LLC (the “Investor”) pursuant to which the Company issued to the Investor shares of its Common Stock, par value $.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”). Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, the Company also has entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Investor (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed, among other things, to register the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In connection with the Company’s obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, on June 25, 2014 the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form _____ (File No. 333-  _____  ) (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) relating to the Registrable Securities which names the Investor as a selling stockholder thereunder.

In connection with the foregoing, we advise you that a member of the SEC’s staff has advised us by telephone that the SEC has entered an order declaring the Registration Statement effective under the Securities Act at [ENTER TIME OF EFFECTIVENESS] on [ENTER DATE OF EFFECTIVENESS] and we have no knowledge, after telephonic inquiry of a member of the SEC’s staff, that any stop order suspending its effectiveness has been issued or that any proceedings for that purpose are pending before, or threatened by, the SEC and the Registrable Securities are available for resale under the Securities Act pursuant to the Registration Statement.

         
        Very truly yours,
         
        By:

This ESCROW AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) made as of the 25th day of June, 2014 (the “Effective Date”), by and between iHookup Social, Inc. (the “Company”), Beaufort Capital Partners LLC (the “Investor”), and Matthew McMurdo, Esq. (the “Escrow Agent”).

 

WITNESSETH:

 

WHEREAS, the Investor proposes to provide the legal expenses (the “Expenses”), on behalf of the Company, necessary to file a registration statement on Form S-1 (the “S-1”), pursuant to a registration rights agreement, by and between the Investor and the Company, dated June 25, 2014 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”);

 

WHEREAS, in return for payment of the Expenses, the Company has agreed to deposit 3,000,000 shares of its common stock (the “Shares”) into an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”); and

 

WHEREAS, the Escrow Agent has agreed to hold the Shares as Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of this agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

1. Deposit. The Company shall promptly deliver a certificate covering the Shares, along with an executed stock power, to the Escrow Agent at the following address:

 

Matthew McMurdo, Esq.

28 West 44th Street

16th Floor

New York, NY 10036

 

2. Disbursement of the Shares.

 

2.1 The Escrow Agent shall deliver the Shares to the Company upon the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) declaring the S-1 effective.

 

2.2 Upon (i) a breach of any material term of the Registration Rights Agreement or the investment agreement, by and between the Investor and the Company, dated May __, 2014, or (ii) the SEC rejecting the S-1 or the Company withdrawing the S-1 prior to effectiveness, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Shares to the Investor.

 

 
 

2.3 Upon disbursement of the Shares, letter(s) of instruction and related documents, pursuant to the terms of Section 2.1 or 2.2, the Escrow Agent shall be relieved of further obligations and released from all liability under this Agreement.

 

3. Rights, Duties and Responsibilities of Escrow Agent. It is understood and agreed that the duties of the Escrow Agent are purely ministerial in nature, and that:

 

3.1 The Escrow Agent shall notify the parties hereto of his receipt of the Shares.

 

3.2 The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for the performance by the Company or the Investor of their respective obligations under this Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement.

 

3.3 If the Escrow Agent is uncertain as to its duties or rights hereunder or shall receive instructions with respect to the Escrow Account which, in his sole determination, are in conflict either with any provision of this Agreement, he shall deposit the Shares with the court for the resolution of such dispute by final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise.

 

3.4 The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted hereunder, or for the misconduct of any employee, agent or attorney appointed by it, except in the case of willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to consult with counsel of its own choosing and shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel.

 

3.5 The Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility at any time to ascertain whether or not any security interest exists in the Escrow Amount or any part thereof or to file any financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code with respect to the Escrow Amount or any part thereof.

 

4. Amendment; Resignation or Removal of Escrow Agent. This Agreement may be altered or amended only with the written consent of the Company, the Investor and the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties hereunder at any time by giving written notice of such resignation to the Company and the Investor specifying a date when such resignation shall take effect and upon delivery of the Shares to the successor escrow agent designated by the Company and Investor in writing. Such successor Escrow Agent shall become the Escrow Agent hereunder upon the resignation date specified in such notice. If the Company and the Investor fail to designate a successor Escrow Agent within thirty (30) days after such notice, then the resigning Escrow Agent shall promptly refund the Shares to the Company. The Escrow Agent shall continue to serve until its successor accepts the escrow and receives the Shares. Upon its resignation and delivery of the Shares as set forth in this Section 4, the Escrow Agent shall be discharged of and from any and all further obligations arising in connection with the escrow contemplated by this Agreement. The resigning Escrow Agent shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Company and the Investor for any

 
 

expenses incurred in connection with its resignation, transfer of the Shares to a successor escrow agent or distribution of the Shares pursuant to this Section 4.

 

5. Representations and Warranties. The Company and the Investor hereby, severally represent and warrant to the Escrow Agent that:

 

5.1 No party other than the parties hereto have, or shall have, any lien, claim or security interest in the Shares or any part thereof.

 

5.2 No financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code is on file in any jurisdiction claiming a security interest in or describing (whether specifically or generally) the Shares or any part thereof.

 

5.3 All of the information contained in this Agreement is, as of the date hereof, and will be, at the time of any disbursement of the Shares, true and correct.

 

6. Indemnification and Contribution.

 

6.1 The Company and the Investor (together, the “Indemnitors”) agree to indemnify the Escrow Agent and its officers, directors, employees, agents and shareholders (collectively referred to as the “Indemnitees”) against, and hold them harmless of and from, any and all loss, liability, cost, damage and expense, including without limitation, reasonable counsel fees, which the Indemnitees may suffer or incur by reason of any action, claim or proceeding brought against the Indemnitees arising out of or relating in any way to this Agreement or any transaction to which this Agreement relates, unless such action, claim or proceeding is the result of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of any or all of the Indemnitees.

 

6.2 If the indemnification provided for in Section 6.1 is applicable, but for any reason is held to be unavailable, the Indemnitors shall contribute such amounts as are just and equitable to pay, or to reimburse the Indemnitees for, the aggregate of any and all losses, liabilities, costs, damages and expenses, including counsel fees, actually incurred by the Indemnitees as a result of or in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, claim or proceeding arising out of or relating in any way to any actions or omissions of the Indemnitors or any one of them.

 

6.3 The provisions of this Article 6 shall survive any termination of this Agreement, whether by disbursement of the Escrow Amount, resignation of the Escrow Agent or otherwise.

 

7. Termination of Agreement. This Agreement shall terminate on the final disposition of the Shares pursuant to Section 2, provided that the rights of the Escrow Agent and the obligations of the other parties hereto shall survive the termination hereof and the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent.

 

 
 

8. Governing Law and Assignment. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflicts of laws principles thereof, and shall be binding, upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that any assignment or transfer by any party of its rights under this Agreement or with respect to the Escrow Amounts shall be void as against the Escrow Agent unless (a) written notice thereof shall be given to the Escrow Agent; and (b) the Escrow Agent shall have consented in writing to such assignment or transfer.

 

9. Notices. All notices required to be given in connection with this Agreement shall be sent by (i) facsimile transmission or email in portable document format (.pdf), (ii) registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, (iii) hand delivery with receipt acknowledged, or (iv) by the Express Mail service offered by the United States Postal Service, and addressed, if to the Buyer or Investor, at their respective address set forth above, and if to the Escrow Agent, at its address set forth above.

 

10. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Agreement or the application of such provision to persons or circumstances other than those to which it is held invalid or unenforceable shall not be affected thereby and shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

11. Execution in Several Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts or by separate instruments and by facsimile transmission, and all of such counterparts and instruments shall constitute one agreement, binding on all of the parties hereto.

 

12. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (written or oral) of the parties in connection therewith.
