OUR COMPANY

We are an Internet advertising and platform technology company that provides tools to automate the digital advertising market. Our focus is to provide technology tools that enable both publishers and advertisers to maximize their digital advertising initiatives. We derive our revenues from:

·	sales of media inventory through real-time bidding, or "RTB," exchanges;

·	sale and licensing of our SRAX Social platform and related media; and

·	creation of custom platforms for buying media on SRAX for large brands.

The core elements of our business are:


·	Social Reality Ad Exchange or "SRAX" – RTB sell side and buy side representation is our technology which assists publishers in delivering their media inventory to the RTB exchanges.

Healthcare and pharmaceutical publishers utilize the platform for yield optimization, audience extension campaigns and re-targeting of their healthcare professional audience. Agencies and brands purchase targeted digital and mobile ad campaigns;

·	SRAX APP, a recently launched new product, which is a platform that allows publishers and content owners to launch native mobile applications through our SRAX platform.

We offer our customers a number of pricing options including cost-per-thousand-impression, or "CPM", whereby our customers pay based on the number of times the target audience is exposed to the advertisement, and on a monthly service fee.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our securities involves a significant degree of risk. You should not invest in our securities unless you can afford to lose your entire investment. You should consider carefully the following risk factors and other information in this prospectus before deciding to invest in our securities. If any of the following risks and uncertainties develops into actual events, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected and you could lose your entire investment in our company.

Risks Related to our Business

We have a history of losses and there are no assurances we will report profitable operations in the foreseeable future.

We reported an operating loss of $3.9 million and a net loss of $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. We reported net losses of $2.7 million and $4.4 million for 2015 and 2014, respectively. At September 30, 2016 we had an accumulated deficit of $13.0 million. Our future success depends upon our ability to continue to grow our revenues and profits. We do not have any long term agreements with our customers. There are no assurances that we will be able to increase our revenues and cash flow to a level which supports profitable operations. We may continue to incur losses in future periods until such time, if ever, as we are successful in significantly increasing our revenues and cash flow beyond what is necessary to fund our ongoing operations, pay our obligations under the Financing Agreement dated October 30, 2014, as amended, with Victory Park Management, LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent for the lenders and holders of notes and warrants issued thereunder, which we refer to as the "Financing Agreement." If we are able to significantly increase our revenues in future periods, the rapid growth which we are pursuing will strain our organization and we may encounter difficulties in maintaining the quality of our operations. If we are not able to grow successfully, it is unlikely we will be able to generate sufficient cash from operations to pay our operating expenses and service our debt obligations, or report profitable operations in future periods.

The terms of the Financing Agreement contain financial and operating terms which place significant operating demands on our company, may restrict our ability to efficiently operate our business, or could result in significant financial penalties. If we were to breach any of these covenants and terms, the lender could accelerate the amounts due under the Financing Agreement and we would be unable to operate our business as it is presently conducted.

The terms of the Financing Agreement include ongoing requirements to, among other actions, meet financial covenants including minimum leverage and current ratios, and interest and fixed charge coverages. In August 2016 we entered into a Forbearance Agreement with Victory Park Management, LLC related to our failure to meet certain financial covenants at June 30, 2016. We do not expect to regain compliance with those financial covenants until the end of the forbearance period which is December 31, 2016. The terms of the Financing Agreement also create restrictions on how we undertake certain future events and our failure to conduct our business within the confines of these contractual restrictions could result in an event of default under the Financing Agreement. Upon default, remedies range from notice and cure, to acceleration of both principal and interest. Our operations may not generate sufficient cash to enable us to service our debt. Upon an event of default under the Financing Agreement, if we were unable to cure the default within the prescribed periods, if at all, the lender could increase our interest rates or accelerate all amounts then due. If we were unable to repay these obligations, the lender could foreclose on our assets, in which case our ability to continue our business and operations as then conducted would be in jeopardy. If the lender should foreclose on our assets, we would be unable to continue our business and operations as they are presently conducted and it is likely you would lose your entire investment in our company.

Since our acquisition of Steel Media in October 2014, we have become dependent on revenues from a limited number of customers. The decline in total revenues from a principal customer, or a change in margins from this customer, will adversely impact our results of operations in future periods so long as revenues from this customer represent a material portion of our total revenues.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 revenues for one customer accounted for 49% of our total revenues and for 2015 revenues from this customer accounted for 48% of our total revenues. While we have continued reporting revenues from this customer in the first nine months of 2016, a significant portion of sales to this customer have been made a significantly lower margins as a result of a change in the type of sales being generated. In an effort to mitigate the impact of these low margin revenues from this one customer, during the third quarter of 2016 undertook several actions including hiring of additional sales personnel in an effort to broaden our customer base, internally reallocating our sales resources in an effort to broaden our product offerings to additional buy-side clients and exploring new channels of revenue. Subsequent to September 30, 2016 we have also stopped working on high-volume, low margin business from this client and are only providing industry standard margin solutions going forward. Until such time as we are successful in returning our overall gross margins to hear historic levels, continuing sales to this customer at the significantly lower margin level could have material adverse impact on our results of operations and cash flows in future periods.

Our debt obligations could impair our liquidity and financial condition, and our ability to grow our company could be in jeopardy. The amounts owed under the Financing Agreement are due on December 31, 2016 and our obligations are secured by our assets.

Our debt obligations are currently comprised of senior notes issued under the Financing Agreement in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $4.0 million outstanding at November 1, 2016. The terms of the Financing Agreement contain certain mandatory prepayment requirements which generally require us to calculate excess cash flow on a quarterly basis, and remit approximately 50% of this excess cash to the lender. This dramatically reduces cash flow available to the company for working capital, accretion of a cash reserve, growth initiatives, or additional acquisitions. These obligations may further adversely impact our business and operations in other areas, including making it more difficult to satisfy our other obligations, increasing our vulnerability in the event of a downturn in our business prospects and limiting our flexibility to plan for, or react to, changes in our markets and possibly placing us at a competitive disadvantage when compared to our competitors who have less debt. The amounts outstanding under the Financing Agreement mature on December 31, 2016. While we are exploring a number of options related to this obligation, including refinancing with a third party, raising additional capital, utilizing availability under the factoring line, or a combination of any of these options, if we should fail to pay the obligation, or extend the due date, an event of default would occur. Upon an event of default under the Financing Agreement, if we were unable to cure the default within the prescribed periods, if at all, the lender could increase our interest rates or accelerate all amounts then due. If we were unable to repay these obligations, the lender could foreclose on our assets and collateral, in which case our ability to continue our business and operations as then conducted would be in jeopardy. If the lender should foreclose on our assets, it is likely you would lose your entire investment in our company.

Our success is dependent upon our ability to effectively expand and manage our relationships with our publishers. We do not have any long term contracts with our publishing partners.

We do not generate our own media inventory. Accordingly, we are dependent upon our publishing partners to provide the media which we sell. We depend on these publishers to make their respective media inventories available to us to use in connection with our campaigns that we manage, create or market. We are not a party to any long term agreements with any of our publishing partners and there are no assurances we will have continued access to the media. Our growth depends, in part, on our ability to expand and maintain our publisher relationships within our network and to have access to new sources of media inventory such as new partner websites and Facebook pages that offer attractive demographics, innovative and quality content and growing Web user traffic volume. Our ability to attract new publishers to our networks and to retain Web publishers currently in our networks will depend on various factors, some of which are beyond our control. These factors include, but are not limited to, our ability to introduce new and innovative products and services, our pricing policies, and the cost-efficiency to Web publishers of outsourcing their advertising sales. In addition, the number of competing intermediaries that purchase media inventory from Web publishers continues to increase. In the event we are not able to maintain effective relationships with our publishers, our ability to distribute our advertising campaigns will be greatly hindered which will reduce the value of our services and adversely impact our results of operations in future periods.

If we were to lose access to the Facebook platform, our SRAX Social growth would be limited and we could lose our existing revenue from these sources.

Facebook currently provides access to companies to build applications on their platform. We have built our SRAX Social platform to use the Facebook application programming interface, or APIs. The loss of access to the Facebook platform would limit our ability to effectively grow a portion of our operations. We are subject to Facebook's standard terms and conditions for application developers, which govern the promotion, distribution and operation of applications on the Facebook platform. Facebook reserves the right to change these terms and conditions at any time. Our business would be harmed if Facebook:


·	discontinues or limits access to its platform by us and other application developers;

·	modifies its terms of service or other policies, including fees charged to, or other restrictions on, us or other application developers, or changes how the personal information of its users is made available to application developers on the Facebook platform or shared by users;

·	establishes more favorable relationships with one or more of our competitors; or

·	develops its own competitive offerings.

We have benefited from Facebook's strong brand recognition and large user base. Facebook has broad discretion to change its terms of service and other policies with respect to us and other developers, and any changes to those terms of service may be unfavorable to us. Facebook may also change its fee structure, add fees associated with access to and use of the Facebook platform, change how the personal information of its users is made available to application developers on the Facebook platform or restrict how Facebook users can share information with friends on their platform. In the event Facebook makes any changes in the future, we may have to modify the structure of our campaigns which could impact the effectiveness of our campaigns and adversely impact our results of operations in future periods.

If we lose access to RTB inventory buyers our business may suffer.

In an effort to reduce our dependency on any one provider of advertising demand, in the first quarter of 2014 we created a platform that utilizes feeds from a number of demand sources for our inventory. We believe that our proprietary technology assists us in aggregating this demand, as well as providing the tools needed by our publishing partners to evaluate and track the effectiveness of the demand that we are aggregating for them. In the event that we lose access to a majority of this demand, however, our revenues would be impacted and our results of operations would be materially adversely impacted until such time, if ever, as we could secure alternative sources of demand for our inventory.

We depend on the services of our executive officers and the loss of any of their services could harm our ability to operate our business in future periods

Our success largely depends on the efforts and abilities of our executive officers, including Christopher Miglino, Erin DeRuggiero, Kristoffer Nelson, Richard Steel and JP Hannan. We are a party to an employment agreement with each of Mr. Miglino, Ms. DeRuggiero, Mr. Steel and Mr. Hannan, and an agreement with Mr. Nelson pursuant to which he is an "at will" employee. Although we do not expect to lose their services in the foreseeable future, the loss of any of them could materially harm our business and operations in future periods until such time as we were able to engage a suitable replacement.

If advertising on the Internet loses its appeal, our revenue could decline.

Our business model may not continue to be effective in the future for a number of reasons, including:


·	a decline in the rates that we can charge for advertising and promotional activities;

·	our inability to create applications for our customers;

·	Internet advertisements and promotions are, by their nature, limited in content relative to other media;

·	companies may be reluctant or slow to adopt online advertising and promotional activities that replace, limit or compete with their existing direct marketing efforts;

·	companies may prefer other forms of Internet advertising and promotions that we do not offer;

·	the quality or placement of transactions, including the risk of non-screened, non-human inventory and traffic, could cause a loss in customers or revenue; and

·	regulatory actions may negatively impact our business practices.

If the number of companies who purchase online advertising and promotional services from us does not grow, we may experience difficulty in attracting publishers, and our revenue could decline.

Additional acquisitions may disrupt our business and adversely affect results of operations.

We may pursue acquisitions in an effort to increase revenue, expand our market position, add to our technological capabilities, or for other purposes. However, any future acquisitions would likely involve risk, including the following:


·	the identification, acquisition and integration of acquired businesses requires substantial attention from management. The diversion of management's attention and any difficulties encountered in the transition process could hurt our business;


·	the anticipated benefits from an acquisition may not be achieved, we may be unable to realize expected synergies from an acquisition or we may experience negative culture effects arising from the integration of new personnel;

·	difficulties in integrating the technologies, solutions, operations, and existing contracts of the acquired business;

·	we may fail to identify all of the problems, liabilities or other shortcomings or challenges of an acquired company, technology, or solution;

·	to pay for future acquisitions, we could issue additional shares of our Class A common stock or pay cash, raised through equity sales or debt issuance. The issuance of any additional shares of our Class A common stock would dilute the interests of our current stockholders, and debt transactions would result in increased fixed obligations and would likely include covenants and restrictions that would impair our ability to manage our operations; and

·	new business acquisitions can generate significant intangible assets that result in substantial related amortization charges and possible impairments.

While our general growth strategy includes identifying and closing additional acquisitions, we are not presently a party of any agreements or understandings. There are no assurances we will acquire any additional companies.

We granted the Financing Warrant holder a put right. The possible exercise of this put right could materially impact our liquidity in future periods and will be dilutive to our existing stockholders.

Pursuant to the Financing Agreement, we issued to the lender a five year warrant to purchase 580,000 shares of our Class A common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share, subject to adjustment, which we refer to as the "Financing Warrant." Pursuant to the Financing Warrant, the warrant holder has the right, at any time after the earlier of April 30, 2016 and the maturity date of the note(s) issued under the Financing Agreement, but prior to October 30, 2019, to exercise its put right to sell to us all or any portion of the Financing Warrant that has not been previously exercised at a price equal to an amount based upon the percentage of the Financing Warrant for which the put right is being exercised, multiplied by the lesser of 50% of our total consolidated revenue for the trailing 12-month period ending with our then-most recently completed fiscal quarter, or $1,500,000. If the holder of the Financing Warrant was to exercise this put right, our liquidity would be adversely impacted and we may not have sufficient working capital to fund our ongoing operations or pay our other obligations as they become due. In addition, the resale of the shares of our Class A common stock which are issuable upon the exercise of the Financing Warrant are covered by an effective registration statement. The issuance of those shares upon the possible exercise of the Financing Warrant will be dilutive to our existing stockholders.

Risks Related to this Offering and Ownership of our Securities

We do not know whether an active, liquid and orderly trading market will develop for our offered securities or what the market price of our offered securities will be and as a result it may be difficult for you to sell your shares of our Class A common stock and warrants.

Prior to October 13, 2016 our Class A common stock was quoted on the OTCQB Tier of the OTC Markets and it was thinly traded. On October 13, 2016 our Class A common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market and since that date it has been thinly traded. In addition, prior to this offering there has been no market for the warrants. An active trading market in our Class A common stock or the warrants may never develop or be sustained following this offering. The public offering price for our Class A common stock and warrants was determined through negotiations with the underwriters, and the negotiated price may not be indicative of the market price of our Class A common stock or the warrants after this offering. The market value of our Class A common stock or the warrants may decrease from the public offering price. As a result of these and other factors, you may be unable to resell your shares of our Class A common stock or warrants at or above the public offering price. The lack of an active market may impair your ability to sell your shares at the time you wish to sell them or at a price that you consider reasonable. The lack of an active market may also reduce the fair market value of your shares or warrants. Further, an inactive market may also impair our ability to raise capital by selling shares of our Class A common stock and may impair our ability to enter into collaborations or acquire companies or products by using our shares of Class A common stock as consideration. The market price of our offered securities may be volatile, and you could lose all or part of your investment.

The trading price of the shares of our Class A common stock and warrants following this offering is likely to be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control. In addition to the factors discussed in this “Risk Factors” section and elsewhere in this prospectus, these factors include:


·	the success of competitive products;

·	actual or anticipated changes in our growth rate relative to our competitors;

·	announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, collaborations or capital commitments;

·	regulatory or legal developments in the United States and other countries;

·	the recruitment or departure of key personnel;

·	the level of expenses;

·	actual or anticipated changes in estimates s to financial results, development timelines or recommendations by securities analysts;

·	variations in our financial results or those of companies that are perceived to be similar to us;

·	fluctuations in the valuation of companies perceived by investors to be comparable to us;

·	inconsistent trading volume levels of our shares;

·	announcement or expectation of additional financing efforts;

·	sales of our Class A common stock by us, our insiders or our other stockholders;

·	market conditions in the technology sectors; and

·	general economic, industry and market conditions.

In addition, the stock market in general, and advertising technology companies in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. Broad market and industry factors may negatively affect the market price of our Class A common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance. The realization of any of these risks could have a dramatic and material adverse impact on the market price of the shares of our Class A common stock and warrants.

We may be subject to securities litigation, which is expensive and could divert management attention.

The market price of the shares of our Class A common stock and warrants may be volatile, and in the past companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their securities have been subject to securities class action litigation. We may be the target of this type of litigation in the future. Securities litigation against us could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention from other business concerns, which could seriously harm our business. To the extent that any claims or suits are brought against us and successfully concluded, we could be materially adversely affected, jeopardizing our ability to operate successfully. Furthermore, our human and capital resources of could be adversely affected by the need to defend any such actions, even if we are ultimately successful in our defense.

Failure to meet the financial performance guidance or other forward-looking statements we have provided to the public could result in a decline in our stock price.

We have previously provided, and may provide in the future, public guidance on our expected financial results for future periods. Although we believe that this guidance provides investors with a better understanding of management's expectations for the future and is useful to our stockholders and potential stockholders, such guidance is comprised of forward-looking statements subject to the risks and uncertainties described in this prospectus and in our other public filings and public statements. Our actual results may not always be in line with or exceed the guidance we have provided. If our financial results for a particular period do not meet our guidance or if we reduce our guidance for future periods, the market price of our Class A common stock may decline.

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results. As a result, current and potential stockholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting, which would harm our business and the trading price of our stock.

As described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, our management has determined that, as of December 31, 2015, we did not maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting based on criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework as a result of identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We have yet to fully remediate the previously identified material weaknesses disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. While we have never been required to restate our consolidated financial statements, the existence of the continuing material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting increases the risk that a future restatement of our consolidated financials is possible.

Delaware law contains anti-takeover provisions that could deter takeover attempts that could be beneficial to our stockholders.

Provisions of Delaware law could make it more difficult for a third-party to acquire us, even if doing so would be beneficial to our stockholders. Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law may make the acquisition of our company and the removal of incumbent officers and directors more difficult by prohibiting stockholders holding 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock from acquiring us, without our board of directors' consent, for at least three years from the date they first hold 15% or more of the voting stock.

The two class structure of our Class A common stock could have the effect of concentrating voting control with a limited group.

Our authorized capital includes two classes of common stock which have different voting rights. Our Class B common stock has 10 votes per share and our Class A common stock has one vote per share. The shares of our Class B common stock were originally held by two of our executive officers who were the founders of our company, but these shares were converted into shares of our Class A common stock in October 2013. While there are presently no shares of Class B common stock outstanding, in the future our board could choose to issue shares to one or more individuals or entities. As a result of the voting rights associated with the Class B common stock, those individuals or entities could have significant influence over the management and affairs of the company and control over matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and significant corporate transactions, such as a merger or other sale of our company or its assets, for the foreseeable future. This concentrated voting control could limit your ability to influence corporate matters and could adversely affect the price of our Class A common stock.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the trading price of our Class A common stock or warrants and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our shares of our Class A common stock and warrants will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. Securities and industry analysts do not currently, and may never, publish research on our shares of Class A common stock or warrants. If no securities or industry analysts commence coverage of our company, the trading price for our shares of our Class A common stock and warrants would likely be negatively impacted. In the event securities or industry analysts initiate coverage, if one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our securities or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the price of our shares of Class A common stock or warrants would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our securities could decrease, which might cause the trading price of our shares of Class A common stock or warrants and trading volume to decline.

Our company has a concentration of stock ownership and control, which may have the effect of delaying, preventing, or deterring a change of control

Our Class A common stock ownership is highly concentrated. Members of our board of directors beneficially own or control approximately 46% of our total outstanding shares of Class A common stock. As a result of the concentrated ownership of the stock, our board of directors may be able to control all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of mergers and other significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change in control of our company. It could also deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares as part of a sale of our company and it may affect the market price of our Class A common stock.

Certain of our outstanding warrants contain cashless exercise provisions which means we will not receive any cash proceeds upon their exercise.

At September 30, 2016 we had common stock warrants outstanding to purchase an aggregate of 2,362,776 shares of our Class A common stock with an average exercise price of $6.17 per share which are exercisable on a cashless basis. This means that the holders, rather than paying the exercise price in cash, may surrender a number of warrants equal to the exercise price of the warrants being exercised. In addition, the exercise price of the Financing Warrant to purchase 580,000 shares of our Class A common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share is payable at the option of the warrant holder through a reduction in the principal outstanding under the notes issued under the terms of the Financing Agreement. It is possible that the warrant holders will use the cashless exercise feature, and that the holder of the Financing Warrant will elect to pay the exercise price through a reduction in the amount owed. In either event, it will deprive us of additional capital which might otherwise be obtained if the warrants were exercised on a cash basis.

The elimination of monetary liability against our directors and officers under Delaware law and the existence of indemnification rights held by our directors and officers may result in substantial expenditures by us and may discourage lawsuits against our directors and officers.

Our certificate of incorporation eliminates the personal liability of our directors and officers to our company and our stockholders for damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer to the extent permissible under Delaware law. Further, our bylaws provide that we are obligated to indemnify any of our directors or officers to the fullest extent authorized by Delaware law. We are also parties to separate indemnification agreements with certain of our directors and our officers which, subject to certain conditions, require us to advance the expenses incurred by any director or officer in defending any action, suit or proceeding prior to its final disposition. Those indemnification obligations could result in our company incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against our directors or officers, which we may be unable to recoup. These provisions and resultant costs may also discourage us from bringing a lawsuit against any of our current or former directors or officers for breaches of their fiduciary duties, and may similarly discourage the filing of derivative litigation by our stockholders against our directors and officers even if such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit us or our stockholders.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares by the selling stockholder.

SELLING STOCKHOLDER

At November 14, 2016 we had 6,941,077 shares of our Class A common stock issued and outstanding. This prospectus relates to periodic offers and sales by the selling stockholder and his pledgees, donees and other successors in interest of up to 256,754 shares of our presently outstanding shares of Class A common stock. The selling stockholder is an affiliate of our company. The selling stockholder has served as a member of our board of directors and as our President since October 2014. The selling stockholder received the shares offered hereby from us in January 2016 as partial payment of the first year earnout consideration under the terms of the stock purchase agreement for the October 2014 purchase from him of our Steel Media subsidiary. Under the terms of the stock purchase agreement with the selling stockholder we agreed to register the resale of these shares. On the closing date of the acquisition of Steel Media, the selling stockholder entered into a letter agreement with Mr. Chad Holsinger, who was an employee of Steel Media prior to our acquisition of that company and was appointed our Chief Revenue Officer immediately following such acquisition. Under the terms of this letter agreement, Mr. Holsinger is entitled to receive 15% of the gross amount of any earnout payments received by the selling stockholder, payable in the selling stockholder's discretion either (i) in cash within 30 days of the selling stockholder's sale of the shares offered hereby, or (ii) through the transfer of 15% of the shares offered hereby following the date of this prospectus.

The following table sets forth:

the name of the selling stockholder;

the number of Class A common shares owned; and

the number of Class A common shares being registered for resale by the selling stockholder.

The following table sets forth certain information known to us as of the date of this prospectus and as adjusted to reflect the sale of the shares offered hereby with respect to the beneficial ownership of our Class A common stock by the selling stockholder. We may amend or supplement this prospectus from time to time to update the disclosure set forth in this prospectus. All of the securities owned by the selling stockholder may be offered hereby. Because the selling stockholder may sell some or all of the securities owned by him, and because there are currently no agreements, arrangements or understandings with respect to the sale of any of the securities, no estimate can be given as to the number of securities that will be held by the selling stockholder upon termination of any offering made hereby.

The selling stockholder is not a broker-dealer or an affiliate of a broker-dealer. For so long as the selling stockholder remains an affiliate of our company, his ability to resell the shares from time to time under this prospectus is subject to his compliance with our insider trading policies and the reporting and other obligations of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Should any of the shares offered hereby be transferred by the selling stockholder to Mr. Holsinger, for so long as Mr. Holsinger remain an affiliate of our company he will also be subject to compliance with our insider trading policies and the reporting and other obligations of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Our insider trading policy prohibits the purchase, sale or trade of our securities with the knowledge of material nonpublic information. In addition, our insider trading policy prohibits our employees, officers, directors, and consultants from trading on a short-term basis, engaging in a short sale of our securities, engaging in transactions in puts, call or other derivatives tied to our securities, engaging in hedging transactions, holding any of our securities in a margin account or otherwise pledging our securities as collateral for a loan. Any transactions by our directors, officers, employees and consultants, including the sale of the shares offered hereby by the selling stockholder, must be first pre-cleared by our chief executive officer.

We have agreed to pay full costs and expenses, incentives to the issuance, offer, sale and delivery of the shares, including all fees and expenses in preparing, filing and printing the registration statement and prospectus and related exhibits, amendments and supplements thereto and mailing of those items. We will not pay selling commissions and expenses associated with any sale by the selling stockholder.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The selling stockholder, may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of his shares of our Class A common stock or interests in shares of our Class A common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.

The selling stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares or interests therein:


	·	ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

	·	block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for their accounts;

	·	an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

	·	privately negotiated transactions;

	·	broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholder to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; and

	·	a combination of any such methods of sale.

So long as the selling stockholder remains subject to our insider trading policies he is prohibited from pledging or grant a security interest in any of our securities owned by him or engaging in short sales of our securities. In connection with the sale of our Class A common stock or interests therein, and subject to compliance with our insider trading policies which requires the selling stockholder to pre-clear any hedging or similar transactions with our chief executive officer at least two weeks prior to any proposed transaction, generally the selling stockholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of our Class A common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume.

The aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholder from the sale of shares of our Class A common stock offered by him will be the purchase price of the Class A common stock less discounts or commissions, if any. The selling stockholder reserves the right to accept and, together with his agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of our Class A common stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering.

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholder may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholder (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchase of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The selling stockholder does not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.

The selling stockholder also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided that he meets the criteria and conforms to the requirements of that rule.

The selling stockholder and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of our Class A common stock or interests therein may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. If the selling stockholder is deemed to be an “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act he will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. We know of no existing arrangements between the selling stockholder and any other stockholder, broker, dealer, underwriter, or agent relating to the sale or distribution of the shares, nor can we presently estimate the amount, if any, of such compensation .

To the extent required, the shares of our Class A common stock to be sold, the name(s) of the selling stockholder(s), the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agents, dealers or underwriters, any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.

In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the shares of our Class A common stock may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the Class A common stock may not be sold unless it has been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.

We have advised the selling stockholder that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling stockholder and his affiliates. In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the selling stockholder for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The selling stockholder may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

The Company is required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION
FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

Our certificate of incorporation and by-laws provide for the indemnification of our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation, under specified circumstances, to indemnify its directors, officers, employees or agents against expenses, including attorney's fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with any action, suit or proceeding brought by third parties by reason of the fact that they were or are directors, officers, employees or agents of the corporation, if such directors, officers, employees or agents acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reason to believe their conduct was unlawful. In a derivative action, i.e., one by or in the right of the corporation, indemnification may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred by directors, officers, employees or agents in connection with the defense or settlement of any action or suit, and only with respect to a matter as to which they shall have acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made if such person shall have been adjudged liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that the defendant directors, officers, employees or agents are fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses despite such adjudication of liability. Our certificate of incorporation contains a provision which eliminates, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, director liability for monetary damages for breaches of the fiduciary duty of care or any other duty as a director.

In addition to the indemnification provided under our certificate of incorporation and by-laws, we have entered into separate indemnification agreements with each of Messrs. Steel, Sumichrast and Dillman as well as Mr. Holsinger, our Chief Revenue Officer. Under these agreements, we have agreed to indemnify the individual (in excess of statutory indemnification) in connection with the occurrence of an indemnifiable event (as that term is defined in the agreement) against any and all expenses, including attorney's fees, judgments, ERISA excise taxes and penalties, amounts paid in settlement, costs of investigating and defending a proceeding and all other fees, costs and expenses associated therewith. We expect to enter into similar agreements with our remaining directors in the near future.

Insofar as the limitation of, or indemnification for, liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing, or otherwise, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such limitation or indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.
