NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual representations and covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:
 
I.  
SUBSCRIPTION FOR SHARES AND REPRESENTATIONS BY SUBSCRIBER
 
1.1 Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, together with all amendments thereof and supplements and exhibits thereto, the “Memorandum”), the Subscriber hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase from the Company such number of Shares, and the Company agrees to sell to the Subscriber as is set forth on the signature page hereof, at a price equal to $0.50 per Share.  The purchase price is payable by personal or business check or money order made payable to TriCord Hurricane Holdings, Inc. contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Subscriber.  Alternatively, the purchase price may be wired directly to the Company according to the following wire instructions:
 
1.2 The Shares are being offered on a “best efforts-any or all” basis.  There is no minimum number of Shares required to be accepted before a closing may occur and our company may close on subscriptions as they are tendered and accepted and upon receipt of good funds.  The minimum amount that will be accepted from any Subscriber is $3,000.  Prospective investors will know whether all or a portion of the Shares offered hereby are subscribed for.  This offering shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the sale of all the Shares or (ii) at the discretion of our Company.  The Subscriber recognizes that the purchase of the Shares involves a high degree of risk including, but not limited to, the following: (a) the Company remains a development stage business without a limited operating history and requires substantial funds in addition to the proceeds of the Offering; (b) an investment in the Company is highly speculative, and only investors who can afford the loss of their entire investment should consider investing in the Company and the Shares; (c) the Subscriber may not be able to liquidate its investment; (d) transferability of the Shares is extremely limited; (e) in the event of a disposition, the Subscriber could sustain the loss of its entire investment; (f) the Company has not paid any dividends since its inception and does not anticipate paying any dividends; and (g) the Company may issue additional securities in the future which have rights and preferences that are senior to those of the Shares.  Without limiting the generality of the representations set forth in Section 1.5 below, the Subscriber represents that the Subscriber has carefully reviewed Section II.B of this Agreement captioned “Risk Factors.”

1.3 The Subscriber represents that the Subscriber is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D (“Regulation D”) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and that the Subscriber is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Shares. The Subscriber is referred to the section of the Memorandum entitled “Investor Qualifications” and to the Confidential Prospective Purchaser Questionnaire for a full explanation of the term “accredited investor”.
 
1.4 The Subscriber hereby acknowledges and represents that (a) the Subscriber has knowledge and experience in business and financial matters, prior investment experience, including investment in securities that are non-listed, unregistered and/or not traded on a national securities exchange nor on the The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc., or the Subscriber has employed the services of a “purchaser representative” (as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D), attorney and/or accountant to read all of the documents furnished or made available by the Company both to the Subscriber and to all other prospective investors in the Shares to evaluate the merits and risks of such an investment on the Subscriber’s behalf; (b) the Subscriber recognizes the highly speculative nature of this investment; and (c) the Subscriber is able to bear the economic risk that the Subscriber hereby assumes.
 
1.5 The Subscriber hereby acknowledges receipt and careful review of this Agreement, including the Risk Factors detailed in Section II.B, including all exhibits thereto, and any documents which may have been made available upon request as reflected therein (collectively referred to as the “Offering Materials”) and hereby represents that the Subscriber has been furnished by the Company during the course of the Offering with all information regarding the Company, the terms and conditions of the Offering and any additional information that the Subscriber has requested or desired to know, and has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from duly authorized officers or other representatives of the Company concerning the Company and the terms and conditions of the Offering.
 
1.6 (a)           In making the decision to invest in the Shares the Subscriber has relied solely upon the information provided by the Company in the Offering Materials.  To the extent necessary, the Subscriber has retained, at its own expense, and relied upon appropriate professional advice regarding the investment, tax and legal merits and consequences of this Agreement and the purchase of the Shares hereunder.  The Subscriber disclaims reliance on any statements made or information provided by any person or entity in the course of Subscriber’s consideration of an investment in the Shares other than the Offering Materials.

1.7 The Subscriber hereby represents that the Subscriber, either by reason of the Subscriber’s business or financial experience or the business or financial experience of the Subscriber’s professional advisors (who are unaffiliated with and not compensated by the Company or any affiliate or selling agent of the Company, directly or indirectly), has the capacity to protect the Subscriber’s own interests in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby.
 
1.8 The Subscriber hereby acknowledges that the Offering has not been reviewed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state regulatory authority since the Offering is intended to be exempt from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act pursuant to Regulation D promulgated thereunder.  The Subscriber understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or under any state securities or “blue sky” laws and agrees not to sell, pledge, assign or otherwise transfer or dispose of the Shares unless they are registered under the Securities Act and under any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws or unless an exemption from such registration is available.
 
1.9 The Subscriber understands that the Shares 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 this connection, the Subscriber hereby represents that the Subscriber is purchasing the Shares for the Subscriber’s own account for investment and not with a view toward the resale or distribution to others.  The Subscriber, if an entity, further represents that it was not formed for the purpose of purchasing the Shares.
 
1.10 The Subscriber understands that there is no public market for the Shares and that no market may develop for any of such Shares.  The Subscriber understands that even if a public market develops for such Shares, Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act requires for non-affiliates (“Rule 144”), among other conditions, a one-year holding period prior to the resale (in limited amounts) of securities acquired in a non-public offering without having to satisfy the registration requirements under the Securities Act.  The Subscriber understands and hereby acknowledges that the Company is under no obligation to register any of the Shares under the Securities Act or any state securities or “blue sky” laws other than as set forth in Article V.
 
1.11 The Subscriber agrees that if and to the extent required by an underwriter of the Company’s Shares in an initial public offering, the undersigned will execute a “lock-up” agreement regarding some or all of the undersigned’s Shares thereby agreeing not to sell such Shares for a period of time after completion of the public offering whether or not such Shares are included in the public offering.
 
1.12 The Subscriber consents to the placement of a legend on any certificate or other document evidencing the Shares that such Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities or “blue sky” laws and setting forth or referring to the restrictions on transferability and sale thereof contained in this Agreement.  The Subscriber is aware that the Company will make a notation in its appropriate records with respect to the restrictions on the transferability of such Shares. The legend to be placed on each certificate shall be in form substantially similar to the following:
 
3

 
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”) OR ANY STATE SECURITIES OR “BLUE SKY LAWS,” AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED ABSENT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION THEREOF UNDER SUCH ACT OR COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144 PROMULGATED UNDER SUCH ACT, OR UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.”
 
1.13 The Subscriber understands that the Company will review this Agreement and is hereby given authority by the Subscriber to call Subscriber’s bank or place of employment or otherwise review the financial standing of the Subscriber; and it is further agreed that the Company, at its sole discretion, reserves the unrestricted right, without further documentation or agreement on the part of the Subscriber, to reject or limit any subscription, to accept subscriptions for fractional Shares and to close the Offering to the Subscriber at any time and that the Company will issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent with respect to such Shares.
 
1.14 The Subscriber hereby represents that the address of the Subscriber furnished by Subscriber on the signature page hereof is the Subscriber’s principal residence if Subscriber is an individual or its principal business address if it is a corporation or other entity.
 
1.15 The Subscriber represents that the Subscriber has full power and authority (corporate, statutory and otherwise) to execute and deliver this Agreement and to purchase the Shares.  This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Subscriber, enforceable against the Subscriber in accordance with its terms.
 
1.16 If the Subscriber is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust, employee benefit plan, individual retirement account, Keogh Plan, or other tax-exempt entity, it is authorized and qualified to invest in the Company and the person signing this Agreement on behalf of such entity has been duly authorized by such entity to do so.
 
1.17 The Subscriber acknowledges that at such time, if ever, as the Shares are registered (as such term is defined in Article V hereof), sales of the Shares will be subject to state securities laws.
 
1.18 (a)           The Subscriber agrees not to issue any public statement with respect to the Subscriber’s investment or proposed investment in the Company or the terms of any agreement or covenant between them and the Company without the Company’s prior written consent, except such disclosures as may be required under applicable law or under any applicable order, rule or regulation.
 
(b) The Company agrees not to disclose the names, addresses or any other information about the Subscribers, except as required by law; provided, that the Company may use the name of the Subscriber for any offering or in any registration statement filed pursuant to Article V in which the Subscriber’s Shares are included.

1.19 The Subscriber understands that the Shares are being offered and sold in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of federal and state securities laws and that the Company and the principals and controlling persons thereof are relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments, and understandings set forth herein in order to determine the applicability of such exemptions and the undersigned’s suitability to acquire Shares.
 
1.20 The Subscriber agrees to hold the Company and its directors, officers, employees, affiliates, controlling persons and agents and their respective heirs, representatives, successors and assigns harmless and to indemnify them against all liabilities, costs and expenses incurred by them as a result of (a) any sale or distribution of the Shares by the Subscriber in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws; or (b) any false representation or warranty or any breach or failure by the Subscriber to comply with any covenant made by the Subscriber in this Agreement or any other document furnished by the Subscriber to any of the foregoing in connection with this transaction.

II.C.           RISK FACTORS
 
2.C.1                      The Company has a limited operating history.  The Company can provide no assurance that it will be able to achieve or sustain revenue growth or profitability in the future.  Its operations are subject to the risks and competition inherent in the establishment of a business enterprise. Unanticipated problems, expenses, and delays are frequently encountered in establishing a new business and marketing and developing products. These include, but are not limited to, competition, the need to develop customers and market expertise, market conditions, sales, marketing and governmental regulation. Our failure to meet any of these conditions would have a materially adverse effect upon us and may force us to reduce or curtail our operations. Revenues and profits, if any, will depend upon various factors. We may not achieve our business objectives and the failure to achieve such goals would have an adverse impact on our business.
 
2.C.2                      The Company may fail to establish and maintain beneficial relationships.  The Company intends to establish relationships with retailers and insurance providers.  However, there is intense competition for these relationships and the Company may not be able to attract and retain these group s interest in light of competitors with larger budgets and pre-existing relationships.
 
7

 
2.C.3                      Economic Factors.  Consumer spending on hurricane prevention items is questionable and could fluctuate in any economic condition. Shifts in consumer spending habits or a loss of disposable income due to adverse economic, political or other financial conditions could have a profound impact on the Company’s business. The Company’s ability to sell Hurricane Safety Systems is directly affected by the consumer’s belief that the Company’s products will mitigate personal property damage and whether they personally think they will be in the path of a destructive hurricane.
 
2.C.4                      Ability to Manage Growth.  The Company’s ability to manage its growth effectively will require continuing enhancement of its operational, financial and management systems. In addition, the Company must successfully hire, train, motivate and manage additional employees. There can be no assurance that the Company can successfully manage rapid growth.
 
2.C.5                       Sensitivity to Changes in Netting, Module Materials and Peripheral Costs. Materials costs are the Company’s most significant variable expense. The financial model relies on assumptions of materials costs that could prove inaccurate.  A large increase in the cost of materials, distribution or shipping rates could dramatically impact the Company’s financial performance.
 
2.C.6                      Dependence of Senior Management  The Company’s future performance is largely dependent on the personal efforts and abilities of its management and possibly other future key personnel. The Company’s ability to operate its business could be seriously harmed if the Company loses or fails to retain senior managers and other key employees.  While the Company’s key management are equity holders, the loss of their skills could seriously harm the Company and its prospects to remain an ongoing business concern.
 
2.C.7                     Inability to Hire, Train, and Retain Additional Personnel.  To grow the business successfully, the Company will need to recruit, retain, and motivate additional highly skilled sales, marketing, finance, and operations personnel. Inability to hire, train and retain a sufficient number of qualified employees will impair growth. In particular, the Company will need to expand the sales and marketing organizations in order to increase market awareness of its product and to increase revenue.
 
2.C.8                     Changing Weather Patterns.  There are no guarantees that the current forecasts and predictions for the increasing number and intensity of hurricanes will come to fruition.  World and local weather predictions are often wrong and cannot be relied upon for planning purposes or financial projections to sales of hurricane related products.
 
2.C.9                     Liquidity. The Company could experience events that cause it to lack the capital to run the day-to-day business or to fulfill obligations. In the event that the Company’s plans or assumptions change or prove to be inaccurate or if the proceeds of the investment or cash flow from operations prove to be insufficient (due to unanticipated expenses, slow payment, difficulties, problems or otherwise), the Company may be required to seek additional debt or equity financing or curtail its expansion activities. Such financing may be on terms and conditions that are more favorable than those received by investors in the Series A Preferred Stock offering.

(f) In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter of such offering.  Each Selling Holder participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement.
 
(g) Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, (i) when the registration statement or any post-effective amendment and supplement thereto has become effective; (ii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order or the initiation of proceedings for that purpose (in which event the Company shall make every effort to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending effectiveness of the registration statement at the earliest possible time or prevent the entry thereof); (iii) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose; and (iv) of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing.

5.5 Furnish Information.  It shall be a condition precedent to the obligation of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Article V with respect to the Registrable Securities of any Selling Holder that such Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding the Holder, the Registrable Securities held by the Holder, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be reasonably required by the Company to effect the registration of such Holder’s Registrable Securities.
 
5.6 Registration Expenses.  The Company shall bear and pay all registration expenses incurred in connection with any registration, filing or qualification of Registrable Securities with respect to registration pursuant to Section 5.2 or Section 5.3.
 
5.7 Underwriting Requirements.  In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the Company’s capital stock, the Company shall not be required under Section 5.3 to include any of the Holders’ Registrable Securities in such underwriting unless they accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by it (or by other persons entitled to select the underwriters), and then only in such quantity as the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company.  If the total amount of securities, including Registrable Securities, requested by stockholders to be included in such offering exceeds the amount of securities sold other than by the Company that the underwriters determine in their sole discretion is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such securities, including Registrable Securities, which the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering (the securities so included to be apportioned pro rata among the selling stockholders according to the total amount of securities entitled to be included therein owned by each selling stockholder or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by such selling stockholders).  For purposes of the preceding parenthetical concerning apportionment, for any selling stockholder who is a holder of Registrable Securities and is a partnership or corporation, the partners, retired partners and stockholders of such holder, or the estates and family members of any such partners and retired partners and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing persons shall be deemed to be a single “selling stockholder,” and any pro-rata reduction with respect to such “selling stockholder” shall be based upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying registration rights owned by all entities and individuals included in such “selling stockholder,” as defined in this sentence.
 
5.8 Delay of Registration.  No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Article.
 
12

 
5.9 Indemnification.  In the event that any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under this Article V:
 
(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for such Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a “Violation”):  (i) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act, and the Company will pay to each such Holder, underwriter or controlling person, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 5.9(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by any such Holder, underwriter or controlling person.
 
(b) To the extent permitted by law, each Selling Holder will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, any underwriter, any other Holder selling securities in such registration statement and any controlling person of any such underwriter or other Holder, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become subject, under the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration; and each such Holder will pay, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 5.9(b), in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 5.9(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, further, that, in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 5.9(b) exceed the greater of the cash value of the (i) gross proceeds from the Offering received by such Holder or (ii) such Holder’s investment pursuant to this Agreement as set forth on the signature page attached hereto.
 
13

 
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 5.9 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 5.9, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the indemnifying party and approved by the indemnified party (whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, that an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties which may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding.  The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 5.9, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 5.9.
 
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5.9 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
 
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in an underwriting agreement entered into in connection with an underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in such underwriting agreement shall control.
 
(f) The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 5.9 shall survive the completion of the Offering.
 
5.10 Permitted Transferees.  The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities granted to the Holders by the Company under this Article V may be assigned in full by a Holder in connection with a transfer by such Holder of its Registrable Securities, to (a) any partner or retired partner of a Holder that is a partnership, or (b) any family member or trust for the benefit of any individual Holder, provided that (i) such Holder gives prior written notice to the Company; (ii) such transferee agrees to comply with the terms and provisions of this Agreement;  (iii) such transfer is otherwise in compliance with this Agreement; and (iv) such transfer is otherwise effected in accordance with applicable securities laws.  Except as specifically permitted by this Section 5.10, the rights of a Holder with respect to Registrable Securities as set out herein shall not be transferable to any other Person, and any attempted transfer shall cause all rights of such Holder therein to be forfeited.
 
14

 
5.11 Termination of Registration Rights.  The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities under this Article V shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) the third anniversary of the closing of an initial public offering of the Company’s Common Stock, at a per share price not less than two times the original purchase price of $1.00 (as adjusted for stock splits and other recapitalizations) and aggregate proceeds of not less than $5,000,000, and (b) (i) the Company’s Common Stock is publicly traded or (ii) the Holder is entitled to sell all of its Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
