EXHIBIT 1
FORM OF SUBSCRIPTION
(To be signed only upon exercise of Warrant)
To: The President of Mobiquity Technologies, Inc.:
The undersigned, the holder of a right to purchase shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, (the “Warrant Shares”) of MOBIQUITY TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a New York corporation (the “Company”), pursuant to that certain Warrant to Purchase Shares of Common Stock of Mobiquity Technologies, Inc. (the “Warrant”), dated as of [__], 2018, hereby irrevocably elects to exercise the purchase right represented by such Warrant for, and to purchase thereunder, [insert number] Shares of the Company and herewith makes payment of __________________ Dollars ($_____________) therefor by the following method: [insert form of payment per Section 2.2].
In connection with the aforesaid purchase of Warrant Shares, the undersigned represents and warrants that:
(a) The Warrant Shares acquired by it are being acquired for its own account, for investment purposes and not with a view to any distribution within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The undersigned will not sell, assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the Warrant Shares unless (i) a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect thereto is in effect and the prospectus included therein meets the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act, or (ii) the Company has received a written opinion of its counsel that, after an investigation of the relevant facts, such counsel is of the opinion that such proposed sale, assignment, mortgage, pledge, hypothecation, transfer or disposition does not require registration under the Securities Act or any state securities law.
(b) The undersigned understands that the resale of the Warrant Shares is not, and is not being, registered under the Securities Act and the Warrant Shares must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered thereunder or an exemption from such registration is available.
(c) The undersigned recognizes that the acquisition of the Warrant Shares involves a high degree of risk and is suitable only for persons of adequate financial means who have no need for liquidity in this investment in that (i) the undersigned may not be able to liquidate its investment in the event of emergency; (ii) transferability is extremely limited; and (iii) it could sustain a complete loss of its investment.
(d) The undersigned represents that it (i) is competent to understand and does understand the nature of its investment in the Shares; and (ii) is able to bear the economic risk of its investment in the Warrant Shares.
(e) The undersigned represents that, either alone or with its purchaser representative (as such term is defined in Rule 501 promulgated under the Securities Act), it has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the acquisition of the Warrant Shares.
(f) The undersigned represents that it has reviewed all information regarding the Company that has been filed with the Securities Exchange Commission. The undersigned also represents that it has been furnished by the Company with all information regarding the Company which it had requested or desired to know; that all documents which could be reasonably provided have been made available for its inspection and review; that it has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from duly authorized representatives of the Company concerning the Company; and that it has had the opportunity to consult with its own tax or financial advisor concerning an investment in the Company.
(g) The undersigned consents to the placement of a legend on the Warrant Shares stating that they have not been registered under the Securities Act and setting forth or referring to the restrictions on transferability and sale thereof. The undersigned is aware that the Company will make a notation in its appropriate records with respect to the restrictions on the transferability of the Warrant Shares.

(h) The undersigned acknowledges and understands that THE WARRANT SHARES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND WILL BE OFFERED AND SOLD IN RELIANCE ON EXEMPTIONS FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF SAID ACT AND SUCH LAWS. THE WARRANT SHARES WILL BE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER SAID ACT AND SUCH LAWS PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM. THE WARRANT SHARES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION OR ANY OTHER REGULATORY AUTHORITY. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS UNLAWFUL.
(i) The undersigned acknowledges that counsel to the Company will be relying, and may rely, upon the foregoing in connection with any opinion of counsel it may give with regard to the issuance of the Warrant Shares by the Company to the undersigned, and any subsequent transfer of the Warrant Shares by the undersigned, and agrees to advise the Company and its counsel in writing in the event of any change in any of the foregoing.
