 This Securities Purchase Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into on October 9, 2014 (the “Effective Date”) by and between Cubed, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and _______________________ (the “Purchaser”).  The Company and the Purchaser shall each be referred to as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”
 

 AGREEMENT
 

 1.
 PURCHASE OF SECURITIES:  On the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase, and the Company hereby agrees to sell, (a) an unsecured promissory note in the original principal amount of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Note”), and (b) three hundred thousand (300,000) shares of common stock of the Company (the “Shares” and, together with the Note, the “Securities”), at a purchase price of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) (the “Purchase Price”).
 

 2.
 CLOSING AND DELIVERY:  Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the consummation of the purchase and sale of the Securities (the “Closing”) shall take place on the Effective Date (the “Closing Date”).
 

 The Closing shall take place at the offices of counsel for the Company set forth in Section 6 hereof, or by the exchange of documents and instruments by mail, email, courier, facsimile and wire transfer to the extent mutually acceptable to the Parties hereto.  At the Closing, the Purchaser shall deliver the Purchase Price on behalf of the Company to the parties and in the amounts as set forth in Exhibit B, and the Company shall deliver Note.  Within five (5) business days of the Closing, the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser a certificate representing the Shares.
 

 3. 
 REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND AGREEMENTS BY PURCHASER:  The Purchaser hereby represents, warrants and agrees as follows:
 

 a)
 Purchase for Own Account.  Purchaser represents that it is acquiring the Securities solely for its own account and beneficial interest for investment and not for sale or with a view to distribution of the Securities or any part thereof, has no present intention of selling (in connection with a distribution or otherwise), granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same, and does not presently have reason to anticipate a change in such intention.
 

 b)
 Ability to Bear Economic Risk.  Purchaser acknowledges that an investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk, and represents that it is able, without materially impairing its financial condition, to hold the Securities for an indefinite period of time and to suffer a complete loss of its investment.

 c)
 Access to Information.  The Purchaser acknowledges that the Purchaser has been furnished with such financial and other information concerning the Company, the directors and officers of the Company, and the business and proposed business of the Company as the Purchaser considers necessary in connection with the Purchaser’s investment in the Securities, including but not limited to the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the disclosure provided in Exhibit C.  As a result, the Purchaser is thoroughly familiar with the proposed business, operations, properties and financial condition of the Company and has discussed with officers of the Company any questions the Purchaser may have had with respect thereto.  The Purchaser understands:
 

 (i)
 The risks involved in this investment, including the speculative nature of the investment;
 

 (ii) 
 The financial hazards involved in this investment, including the risk of losing the Purchaser’s entire investment;
 

 (iii)
 The lack of liquidity and restrictions on transfers of the Securities; and
 

 (iv)
 The tax consequences of this investment.
 

 The Purchaser has consulted with the Purchaser’s own legal, accounting, tax, investment and other advisers with respect to the tax treatment of an investment by the Purchaser in the Securities and the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities.
 

 d)
 Securities Part of Private Placement.  The Purchaser has been advised that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or qualified under the securities law of any state, on the ground, among others, that no distribution or public offering of the Securities is to be effected and the Securities will be issued by the Company in connection with a transaction that does not involve any public offering within the meaning of section 4(a)(2) of the Act and/or Regulation D as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Act, and under any applicable state blue sky authority.  The Purchaser understands that the Company is relying in part on the Purchaser’s representations as set forth herein for purposes of claiming such exemptions and that the basis for such exemptions may not be present if, notwithstanding the Purchaser’s representations, the Purchaser has in mind merely acquiring the Securities for resale on the occurrence or nonoccurrence of some predetermined event.  The Purchaser has no such intention.
 

 e)
 Purchaser Not Affiliated with Company.  The Purchaser, either alone or with the Purchaser’s professional advisers, are unaffiliated with, have no equity interest in, and are not compensated by, the Company, or any affiliate or selling agent of the Company, directly or indirectly.

 f)
 Further Limitations on Disposition.  Purchaser further acknowledges that the Securities are restricted securities under Rule 144 of the Act, and, therefore, if the Company, in its sole discretion, chooses to issue any certificates reflecting the ownership interest in the Securities, those certificates will contain a restrictive legend substantially similar to the following:
 

 THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”).  THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES UNDER THE ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
 

 Without in any way limiting the representations set forth above, Purchaser further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Securities unless and until:
 

 (i)
 There is then in effect a Registration Statement under the Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such Registration Statement; or
 

 (ii)
 Purchaser shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and if reasonably requested by the Company, Purchaser shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such disposition will not require registration under the Act or any applicable state securities laws.
 

 Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above, no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be necessary for a transfer by such Purchaser to a partner (or retired partner) of Purchaser, or transfers by gift, will or intestate succession to any spouse or lineal descendants or ancestors, if all transferees agree in writing to be subject to the terms hereof to the same extent as if they were Purchaser hereunder as long as the consent of the Company is obtained.
 

 g)
 Accredited Investor Status.  Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 under the Act. 
 

 h)
