DAFOE CORP.

SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

THIS SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into as _____________, 2011 by and between Dafoe Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and ____________________, a(n) ______________ (the “Investor”). In consideration of the mutual covenants set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the Company and Investor hereby agree as follows:

1.

Purchase of Securities.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Investor shall purchase, and the Company shall sell and issue to the Investor, at the Closing (as defined below), __________________ (____________) Units. The purchase price for the Units shall be $.50 per Unit, and the aggregate purchase price for the Units shall be ______________________ Dollars ($___________) (the “Purchase Price”).  Each Unit offered hereby consists of one share of Common Stock (the “Common Stock”), and one Class A Redeemable Warrant (the “Warrants”).  Each Warrant entitles the registered holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock at a price of $.60, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances, through and including December 31, 2012.  The Warrants are redeemable by the Company at any time commencing June 30, 2011, upon 30 days’ notice, at a price of $.05 per Warrant, provided that for the 20 trading days prior to the day on which the Company gives notice, the average closing “bid” price of the Common Stock has been at least $3.00.  The holders of Warrants called for redemption are granted exercise rights until the close of business on the date fixed for redemption.  The proceeds from the sale of the Units are to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, including the payment of accounts payable, legal and accounting fees, ongoing consulting and employment expenses, marketing and other purposes. The Company expects to raise additional capital, on negotiated terms that may be more or less favorable to Investor in the immediate future. As reasonably requested by the Company, Investor shall complete a substitute W-9 or such other forms as the Company requests in order for it to comply with its reporting and other obligations.

This Agreement is one of duly authorized Agreements to be used in the sale of securities by the Company, pursuant to a private placement which is limited to the aggregate maximum sale of 2,000,000 Units at $.50 per Unit for an aggregate purchase price of $1,000,000.

The closing (the “Closing”) of the purchase and sale of the Units shall take place on a date within three (3) business days after the date first set forth above, and the date of the Closing (the “Closing Date”) shall be the date (which shall be within such three business day period) the Investor pays the Purchase Price by cashiers check or wire transfer to the Company.  Within ten (10) business days of the Closing Date, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the Investor a stock certificate and warrant agreement representing the Units.  The Closing shall be deemed to have occurred at the offices of the Company. Failure of either party to deliver the items required by this Section 1.(c) when and as required thereby shall constitute a breach of this Agreement (and the other party shall be entitled to demand specific performance in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity).

2.

Representations and Warranties of Investor.  Investor makes the following representations and warranties, with the intent that they be relied upon by the Company and each officer, director, employee and agent of the Company in determining Investor’s suitability as a purchaser of the Units. Investor hereby agrees that these representations and warranties shall survive the Investor’s purchase of the Units. By signing this Agreement, Investor represents that he has read and acknowledged the representations set forth in this Section 2.

(a)

Investor is the sole and true party in interest, is acquiring the Units for his own account for investment, is not purchasing the Units for the benefit of any other person, and has no present intention of holding or managing the Units with others or of selling, distributing or otherwise disposing of any portion of the Units.

(b)

This Agreement constitutes the Investor’s valid and legally binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights, and rules of law governing specific performance, and the Investor has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement.

(c)

Investor (i) is a citizen of the United States, (ii) is at least 21 years of age, (iii) is a bona fide permanent resident of and is domiciled in the state set forth on the signature page hereof and has no present intention of becoming a resident of any other state or jurisdiction, and (iv) is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Securities Act (as defined below).  Investor has filled in and executed an Investor Questionnaire in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, and the information set forth in such Investor Questionnaire is true and correct as of the date hereof.

(d)

Investor is aware that an investment in the Units is highly speculative and subject to substantial risks. Investor has adequate means of providing for his current needs and possible contingencies, and is able to bear the high degree of economic risk of this investment, including, but not limited to, the possibility of the complete loss of Investor’s entire investment and the limited transferability of the Units, which may make the liquidation of this investment impossible for the indefinite future.

(e)

Investor has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Units and making an informed investment decision.

(f)

Investor understands that neither the Units, Warrants or the Common Stock included in the Units or underlying the Warrants (individually and collectively, the “Securities”) will be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities laws, in partial reliance upon exemptions from registration for certain private offerings. Investor understands and agrees that the Securities, or any interest therein, may not be resold or otherwise disposed of by Investor unless the resale of the Securities is subsequently registered under the Securities Act and under all applicable state securities laws or unless the Company receives an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to it that an exemption from registration is available. Further, Investor understands that only the Company can take action so as to register the Securities. Investo r acknowledges and represents that Investor has received and reviewed a copy of the Dafoe Corp. FORM 10-K, ANNUAL REPORT UNDER SECTION 13

(g)

Investor has received no representations, written or oral, from the Company, a placement agent or any officer, director, employee, attorney or agent thereof, other than those contained in this Agreement. In making the decision to purchase the Units, Investor has relied solely upon Investor’s review of the Form 10-K, this Agreement, and independent investigations made by Investor or Investor’s representatives without assistance of the Company.

(h)

Investor understands and agrees that the following restrictions and limitations are applicable to his purchases and resales, pledges, hypothecations, or other transfers of the Securities:

(i)

The  Securities shall not be sold, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise transferred unless registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from registration is available;

(ii)

Each certificate, warrant agreement or other document evidencing or representing the Units shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

THE SECURITIES OF THE COMPANY EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE AND/OR AGREEMENT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR IN ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON EXEMPTIONS FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND VARIOUS APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
