Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
1.           Subscription and Description of Securities.  The undersigned (the “Subscriber”), subject to the terms and conditions described in this Subscription Agreement (this “Subscription Agreement”), hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase from Augme Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Augme” or the “Company”), a number of Common Shares of the Company’s securities (the “Units” or “Securities”), indicated on the signature page hereof, at a price of $2.00 per share, and hereby tenders this Subscription Agreement, together with a check or wire transfer in the full amount of the purchase price of the Common Stock and Warrants being subscribed for hereby payable to the Company.
 
For $2,000,000, the investors shall receive 1,000,000 shares of Augme’s Common Stock, $.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) and warrants to purchase up to 500,000 shares of Common Stock exercisable over a 3-year period, at an exercise price per share equal to (i) $2.50 from the date of issuance of the Warrant (the “Issue Date”) until the date which is thirty-six months thereafter.

The Subscriber agrees that this subscription shall be irrevocable and shall survive the death or disability of the Subscriber.  The Subscriber understands that if this subscription is not accepted, in whole or in part, or the offering is terminated pursuant to its terms or by the Company, all unaccepted funds will be returned by the Company to the Subscriber, without interest, penalty, expense or deduction.
