The
Company and the Subscriber are executing and delivering this Subscription
Agreement in reliance upon the exemptions from securities registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
The
Company desires to sell, and the Subscriber desires to purchase, upon the terms
and conditions stated in this Subscription Agreement, [twelve thousand and
(12,000)] Units (the "Units") at the price of [one hundred dollars ($100.00)]
each. Each Unit consists of [two hundred and fifty (250)] shares of common stock
(the “Common Stock”) and 3-year Warrant to purchase up to an additional [two
hundred and fifty (250)] shares of Common Stock, at an exercise price of $0.65
per share of Common Stock (the “Warrants” and together with the Common Stock,
the “Units”). The minimum subscription per Subscriber is [One
thousand (1,000)] Units; however, in the Company's sole discretion it may accept
subscriptions for a lesser number of Units. The shares of common
stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are referred to herein as the
“Warrant Shares.” The Units, the Common Stock, the Warrants and the Warrant
Shares are collectively referred to herein as the “Securities” and each of them
may individually be referred to herein as a “Security”.
The
Company reserves the right to increase the amount of this offering and amend the
offering terms without notice or approval from prior subscribers in the offering
and it reserves the right to accept a lesser number of Units. The
Units are offered solely to Accredited Investors (as hereinafter defined) by our
Placement Agents on a “best-efforts” basis.
The
Subscriber understands and acknowledges that the Company is relying upon the
representations and warranties of the Subscriber set forth in this Subscription
Agreement without limitation.
NOW,
THEREFORE, the Company and the Subscriber hereby agree as follows:
1. Recitals.
The above
recitals are true and correct and constitute the terms of this Subscription
Agreement where applicable.
2. Subscription.
Subject
to the terms and conditions of this Subscription Agreement, the Subscriber
hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase the number of Units set
forth on the signature page hereto and, as full payment therefore, agrees to pay
to the Company, concurrently with the Subscriber’s execution and delivery of
this Subscription Agreement, the sum of [$100.00] in cash for each Unit
purchased.
This
offering may be modified by the Company’s management at its sole discretion
without approval from, or notice to Subscriber, including but not limited to,
increases or reductions in the Unit price, offering terms, and number and type
of Securities contained within the Unit. At the sole discretion of
the Company’s management, the Company may conduct other offerings of its
securities while it is conducting this offering with terms that may not be
similar or comparable to this offering.

3. Subscriber's Representations
and Warranties. As a material inducement for the Company to
enter into this Subscription Agreement, the Subscriber represents and warrants
to the Company as follows:
3.1 Purchase for Subscriber’s
Own Account. The Subscriber is purchasing the Securities for
the Subscriber's own account and not with a view towards the public sale or
distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales that are exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act and/or sales registered under
the Securities Act. The Subscriber understands that Subscriber must
bear the economic risk of this investment indefinitely, unless the Securities
are registered pursuant to the Securities Act and any applicable state
securities or blue sky laws or an exemption from such registration is available,
and that the Company has no present intention of registering the resale of any
such Securities.
3.2 Investment Intention of
Subscriber. The Subscriber understands that the Securities
have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a claimed
exemption under the provisions of the Securities Act that depends, in part, upon
the Subscriber’s investment intention. In connection with this, the
Subscriber understands that it is the position of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”) that the statutory basis for such exemption would not be
present if the Subscriber’s representation merely meant that its present
intention was to hold such securities for a short period, such as the capital
gains period of tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for a market rise, assuming
that a market develops, or for any other fixed period. The Subscriber
realizes that, in the view of the SEC, a purchase now with an intent to resell
would represent a purchase with an intent inconsistent with its representation
to the Company, and the SEC might regard such a sale or disposition as a
deferred sale to which such exemptions are not available.
3.3 Reliance on Exemptions from
Registration. The Subscriber understands that the Securities
are being offered and sold in reliance upon specific exemptions from the
registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and
that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Subscriber's
compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments
and understandings of the Subscriber set forth herein without limitation in
order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of
the Subscriber to acquire the Securities.
3.4 Lack of Governmental
Approval or Review. The Subscriber understands that the
Securities have not been approved or disapproved by the SEC or any State
Securities Commission or any foreign governmental authority of any country nor
has the SEC or any State Securities Commission or foreign governmental authority
of any jurisdiction passed upon the accuracy of any information provided to the
Subscriber or passed upon, or made any recommendation or endorsement of the
securities or made any finding or determination as to the fairness of the
offering. The Subscriber will furnish evidence satisfactory to the Company of
compliance with the laws of any jurisdiction that, in the opinion of the
Company, may be applicable, and the Company shall be entitled to require and
rely upon an opinion of counsel at the expense of Subscriber which must be
satisfactory to the Company with respect to compliance with laws of any
jurisdiction deemed applicable by the Company.

3.5 Accredited Investor Status,
and Suitability. The Subscriber has read and understands Rule
501(a) of Regulation D of the Securities Act and represents that he is an
“Accredited Investor” as that term is defined by Rule 501(a). The
Subscriber further represents that he is knowledgeable, sophisticated and
experienced in making, and is qualified to make decisions with respect to a
variety of sophisticated and complex investments that present investment
decisions like those involved in the purchase of the Securities. The
Subscriber, in reaching a decision to subscribe, has such knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters that the Subscriber is capable of
reading, interpreting and understanding financial statements and evaluating the
merits and risks of an investment in the Securities and has the net worth to
undertake such risks. Subscriber has invested in securities offered
by the Company and/or investments in the securities of companies comparable to
the Company that involve non-trading, and/or thinly traded securities and penny
stocks, unregistered securities, restricted securities, high risk investments,
operating losses and securities which are not listed or quoted on any national
securities exchange. The Subscriber represents that in addition to
its own ability to evaluate the investment, it has employed the services of an
investment advisor, attorney or accountant to read all of the documents
furnished or made available by the Company to it to evaluate the merits and
risks of such an investment on its behalf, and that he recognizes the highly
speculative nature of an investment in the Securities. The Subscriber
is familiar with the business operations and financial affairs of the
Company.
3.6 Financial
Suitability. Subscriber understands that Subscriber may be
unable to liquidate the Securities and any transfer of the Securities is
limited. The Subscriber’s overall commitment to investments which are not
readily marketable is not disproportionate to Subscriber’s net worth, and the
investment in the Securities will not cause the Subscriber’s overall investment
in illiquid high-risk investments to become excessive in proportion to
Subscriber’s assets, liabilities and living standards. The Subscriber
can bear the economic risk of an investment for an indefinite period of time and
can bear a loss of the entire investment in the Securities without financial
hardship or a change in its living conditions.
3.7 Company
Information. The Subscriber hereby acknowledges
that:
a. No
offering memorandum or similar disclosure document has been prepared in
connection with the sale of the Units. The Subscriber has read this
Subscription Agreement and is familiar with the terms of the
Securities.
b. In
making the decision to purchase the Securities, the Subscriber and the
Subscriber’s advisors have, prior to any sale to the Subscriber, been given
access and the opportunity to examine all books and records of the Company, all
contracts and documents relating to the Company, and all filings made by the
Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and an
opportunity to ask questions of, and to receive answers from, the Company and to
obtain any additional information necessary to verify the accuracy of the
information provided to the Subscriber. The Subscriber and the Subscriber’s
advisors have been furnished with all materials relating to the business,
finances and operations of the Company and materials relating to the offer and
sale of the Securities that have been requested.

c. The
only representations and warranties being given to the Subscriber by the Company
are as contained in this Subscription Agreement.
d. The
Subscriber understands that this offering has not been registered under the
Securities Act and is being made in reliance upon exemptions therefrom.
Subscriber must rely upon the Subscriber’s own access to information about the
Company and the offering. The Subscriber has requested, received, reviewed,
understands and considered all information it deems relevant in making an
informed decision to purchase the Securities, including but not limited to the
Company’s financial information, and the Subscriber has conducted independent
due diligence in matters involving the Company. Subscriber has consulted with
Subscriber’s legal, tax, and investment advisors regarding its investment in the
Securities and has received their approval to invest in the Securities. The
Subscriber hereby represents that, in Subscriber’s opinion, it has received
information equivalent to that which would be provided to an Investor in a
registration statement filed under the Securities Act. The Subscriber
understands that the Subscriber or the Subscriber's representatives have been
and will continue to be provided with access to the Company's financial records
through its public filings with the SEC. The Subscriber has furnished
the Subscriber’s legal, tax and financial advisors with all materials relating
to the business, finances and operations of the Company and materials relating
to the offer and sale of the Securities, and the Subscriber has advised the
Company that the offering, according to its terms, will, in the opinion of the
Subscriber, be made in compliance with applicable state and federal securities
laws.
3.8 Representations of Income or
Profit. The Subscriber is not investing in the Securities
based upon any representation, oral or written, by any person with respect to
the future value of, if any, or the income from, if any, the
Securities. Neither the Company, the Placement Agent, nor any of
their respective officers, directors, stockholders, partners, employees or
agents, or any other persons have represented, guaranteed or warranted, whether
expressly or by implication, that: (i) the Company or the Subscriber will
realize any given percentage of profits and/or amount or type of consideration,
profit or loss as a result of the Company’s activities or the Subscriber’s
investment in the Company; or (ii) the past performance or experience of the
Company’s management, or of any other person, will in any way indicate
predictable results regarding the ownership of the Company’s securities, the
future value of the Company’s securities, or of the Company’s
activities.
3.9 Use of
Proceeds. Subscriber acknowledges that the Company's
management has the sole discretion over the use of proceeds of the offering and
there are no assurances that the Company will use the proceeds as the Company
currently intends. As a result, the Company's management may spend
the proceeds on a broad variety of items including, without limitation,
operating expenses, loans, salaries, joint ventures, partnerships, or other
business arrangements formed now or to be formed in the future, any or all of
which may never be successful. Subscriber acknowledges that it will
have no control or ability to influence or participate in the determination of
how the proceeds from this offering will be utilized and the use of the proceeds
by management cannot currently be predicted with any accuracy.

3.10 Limited Public
Market. The Company’s shares are not quoted and not traded on
any national stock exchange, but rather on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board
(“OTC.BB”), and Subscriber understands and acknowledges that there is no
guaranty that the Company’s shares will ever be quoted or traded on a national
stock exchange or Nasdaq.
3.11 Transfer, Resale and/or
Pledge. The Subscriber understands that the offer and sale of
the Securities have not been and are not being registered under the Securities
Act or any state securities laws, and the Securities may not be transferred
unless:
(a) the
transfer is made pursuant to and as set forth in an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act covering the Securities; or
(b) the
Subscriber shall have delivered to the Company at the Subscriber’s expense an
opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance, scope and law
firm acceptable to the Company) to the effect that the Securities to be sold or
transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such
registration; or
(c) sold
under and in compliance with Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or a
successor rule) (“Rule 144”); or
(d) sold
or transferred in accordance with applicable securities laws to an affiliate of
the Subscriber who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the Securities only in
accordance with the provisions of this Section and who is an Accredited
Investor; and neither the Company nor any other person is under any obligation
to register such Securities under the Securities Act or any state securities
laws.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing or anything else contained herein to the contrary, the Securities
may not be pledged as collateral in connection with a bona fide margin account
or other lending arrangement, unless such pledge is consistent with applicable
laws, rules and regulations and at the Company’s option, the pledgor provides
the Company with a legal opinion (which opinion shall be in form, substance,
scope and law firm acceptable to the Company) that the pledge or other lending
agreement is in compliance with applicable state and federal securities
laws.
3.12 Rule 144
Resales. The Subscriber has read and understands that Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act requires, among other conditions, a six (6)
month holding period prior to the resale of securities acquired in a non-public
offering without having to satisfy the registration requirements under the
Securities Act. The Subscriber understands that the Company makes no
representation or warranty regarding its fulfillment in the future of any
reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the “Exchange Act”), or its dissemination to the public of any current
financial or other information concerning the Company, as is required by Rule
144 as one of the conditions of its availability. The Subscriber is aware that
the safe harbor provided by Rule 144 of the Securities Act is not now available
for Subscriber’s resale of the Securities and Rule 144 may never become
available for Subscriber’s resale of the Securities or any portion
thereof.

agents, counsels and controlling persons with respect to, any and all loss,
damage, liability, cost or expense to which the Company, the Placement Agent or
any such person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise,
insofar as such losses, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses are caused by
any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any fact made by Subscriber,
or which arises therefrom or which is based upon the omission or
alleged omission to state therein a fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which
they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the
extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission was so made in reliance upon information furnished by or on
behalf of the Subscriber.
The
Subscriber shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Placement Agent,
and each of their respective directors, officers, stockholders, employees,
counsel, agents, successors and assigns from and against all losses, damages,

laws.
Promptly
after receipt by the Company and/or Placement Agent of notice of the
commencement of any action involving the subject matter of the indemnity
provisions of this Subscription Agreement, the receiving party will notify the
Subscriber of the commencement thereof; but the omission to so notify the
Subscriber will not relieve it from any liability that it may have to the
Company and/or Placement Agent otherwise than hereunder. In case such action is
brought against the Company and/or Placement Agent and it/they notifies the
Subscriber of the commencement thereof, the Subscriber shall retain counsel
selected by the Company and pay all fees associated therewith including
retainers securing the payment of future legal fees.
