SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT
This Subscription Agreement (this “Agreement”) is being delivered to you in connection with your investment in a publicly-traded company (the “Company”) which will acquire by merger all of the issued and outstanding capital stock and the business of G8Wave, Inc. (“G8Wave”). The Company is conducting a private placement (the “Offering”) of Units (the “Units”), at a purchase price of $25,000 per Unit. Each Unit shall consist of 16,666 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Common Stock” or the “Shares”) and a warrant to purchase 8,333 shares of Common Stock (a “Warrant”). Each Warrant shall be exercisable for one share of Common Stock at a price of $2.25 per share for 48 months after the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”).
All funds received in the Offering prior to the Closing shall be held in escrow by American National Bank (the “Escrow Agent”) and, upon fulfillment of the other conditions precedent set forth herein, shall be released from escrow and delivered to the Company, at which time the Units subscribed for as further described below shall be delivered, subject to Section 7 hereof, to you.
1. Subscription and Purchase Price
(a) Subscription. Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2 hereof, the undersigned hereby subscribes for and agrees to purchase the number of Units indicated on page 12 hereof on the terms and conditions described herein. The minimum number of Units that may be purchased is one. Subscriptions for lesser amounts may be accepted at the discretion of the Company.
(b) Purchase of Units. The undersigned understands and acknowledges that the purchase price to be remitted to the Company in exchange for the Units shall be $25,000 per Unit, for an aggregate purchase price as set forth on page 12 hereof (the “Aggregate Purchase Price”). The undersigned’s delivery of this Agreement to the Company shall be accompanied by payment, to the Escrow Agent, for the Units subscribed for hereunder, payable in United States dollars, by check made payable to the order of “American National Bank, as Escrow Agent for G8Wave, Inc.,” at 3033 East First Avenue, Denver, Colorado 80206-5698, Attn: Sandra Richelmy or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Escrow Account delivered contemporaneously with the undersigned’s delivery of this Agreement to the Company.

2. Acceptance, Offering Term and Closing Procedures
(a) Acceptance or Rejection. The obligation of the undersigned to purchase the Units shall, subject to the reconfirmation process, be irrevocable, and the undersigned shall be legally bound to purchase the Units subject to the terms set forth in this Agreement. The undersigned understands and agrees that the Company reserves the right to reject this subscription for the Units in whole or part in any order at any time prior to the Closing if, in its reasonable judgment, it deems such action to be in the best interest of the Company, notwithstanding the undersigned’s prior receipt of notice of acceptance of the undersigned’s subscription. In the event of rejection of this subscription by the Company in accordance with this Section 2, or the sale of the Units is not consummated by the Company for any reason, this Agreement and any other agreement entered into between the undersigned and the Company relating to this subscription shall thereafter have no force or effect, and the Company shall promptly return or cause to be returned to the undersigned the purchase price remitted to the Escrow Agent, without interest thereon or deduction therefrom.

3. Investor’s Representations and Warranties
The undersigned hereby acknowledges, agrees with and represents and warrants to the Company, as follows:
(a) The undersigned has full power and authority to enter into and deliver this Agreement and to perform the obligations hereunder, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement has been duly authorized, if applicable, and this Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the undersigned.
(b) The undersigned acknowledges his, her or its understanding that the offering and sale of the Shares and Warrants comprising the Units is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), by virtue of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and the provisions of Regulation D promulgated thereunder (“Regulation D”). In furtherance thereof, the undersigned represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
(i) The undersigned realizes that the basis for the exemption from registration may not be available if, notwithstanding the undersigned’s representations contained herein, the undersigned is merely acquiring the Shares and the Warrants comprising the Units for a fixed or determinable period in the future, or for a market rise, or for sale if the market does not rise. The undersigned does not have any such intention.
(ii) The undersigned is acquiring the Shares and the Warrants comprising the Units solely for the undersigned’s own beneficial account, for investment purposes, and not with view to, or resale in connection with, any distribution of the Shares or the Warrants.
(iii) The undersigned has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of his, her or its investment, has adequate means for providing for its current needs and contingencies, and has no need for liquidity with respect to the investment in the Company.
(iv) The undersigned and the undersigned’s attorney, accountant, purchaser representative and/or tax advisor, if any (collectively, “Advisors”), have received the Confidential Private Placement Memorandum, dated April 18, 2007, together with all appendices thereto (as such documents may be amended or supplemented, the “Memorandum”), relating to the private placement by the Company of the Units, and all other documents requested by the undersigned or Advisors, if any, have carefully reviewed them and understand the information contained therein, prior to the execution of this Agreement.
(v) The undersigned (together with his, her or its Advisors, if any) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Units. If other than an individual, the undersigned also represents it has not been organized solely for the purpose of acquiring the Units.
A-3
(c) The information in the Investor Questionnaire completed and executed by the undersigned (the “Investor Questionnaire”) is true and accurate in all respects, and the undersigned is an “accredited investor,” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D.
(d) The undersigned is not relying on the Company or its affiliates or agents with respect to economic considerations involved in this investment. The undersigned has relied on the advice of, or has consulted with, only his, her or its Advisors. Each Advisor, if any, is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Units as such are described in the Memorandum, and each Advisor, if any, has disclosed to the undersigned in writing (a copy of which is annexed to this Agreement) the specific details of any and all past, present or future relationships, actual or contemplated, between the Advisor and the placement agent, if any, or any affiliate or sub-agent thereof.
(e) The undersigned represents, warrants and agrees that he, she or it will not sell or otherwise transfer the Shares or the Warrants comprising the Units without registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and fully understands and agrees that the undersigned must bear the economic risk of his, her or its purchase because, among other reasons, the Shares and the Warrants comprising the Units have not been registered under the Securities Act or under the securities laws of any state and, therefore, cannot be resold, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and under the applicable securities laws of such states, or an exemption from such registration is available. In particular, the undersigned is aware that the Shares and the Warrants comprising the Units are “restricted securities,” as such term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), and they may not be sold pursuant to Rule 144 unless all of the conditions of Rule 144 are met. The undersigned also understands that, except as otherwise provided in Section 5 hereof, the Company is under no obligation to register the Shares or the Warrants comprising the Units on his, her or its behalf or to assist them in complying with any exemption from registration under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws. The undersigned understands that any sales or transfers of the Shares or the Warrants comprising the Units are further restricted by state securities laws and the provisions of this Agreement.
(f) No representations or warranties have been made to the undersigned by the Company or G8Wave, or any of their respective officers, employees, agents, sub-agents, affiliates or subsidiaries, other than any representations of the Company contained herein and in the Memorandum, and in subscribing for the Units the undersigned is not relying upon any representations other than those contained herein or in the Memorandum.
(g) The undersigned understands and acknowledges that his, her or its purchase of the Units is a speculative investment that involves a high degree of risk and the potential loss of the undersigned’s entire investment and has carefully read and considered the matters set forth in the Memorandum and in particular the matters under the caption “Risk Factors” therein, and, in particular, acknowledges that the Company has a limited operating history and is engaged in a highly competitive business.
(h) The undersigned’s overall commitment to investments that are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to the undersigned’s net worth, and an investment in the Units will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive.
(i) The undersigned understands and agrees that the certificates for the Shares and Warrants shall bear substantially the following legend until (i) such Shares shall have been registered under the Securities Act and effectively disposed of in accordance with a registration statement that has been declared effective or (ii) in the opinion of counsel for the Company such Shares and Warrants may be sold without registration under the Securities Act, as well as any applicable “blue sky” or state securities laws:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. SUCH SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, DELIVERED AFTER SALE, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FILED BY THE ISSUER WITH THE U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION COVERING SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
A-4
(j) Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state securities commission has approved the Shares or the Warrants comprising Units or passed upon or endorsed the merits of the Offering or confirmed the accuracy or determined the adequacy of the Memorandum. The Memorandum has not been reviewed by any Federal, state or other regulatory authority. Any representation to the contrary is a crime.
(l) The undersigned and his, her or its Advisors, if any, have had a reasonable opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from a person or persons acting on behalf of the Company concerning the offering of the Units and the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the Company, and all such questions have been answered to the full satisfaction of the undersigned and his, her or its Advisors, if any.
(m) The undersigned is unaware of, is in no way relying on, and did not become aware of the offering of the Units through or as a result of, any form of general solicitation or general advertising including, without limitation, any article, notice, advertisement or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, or electronic mail over the Internet, in connection with the offering and sale of the Units and is not subscribing for Units and did not become aware of the offering of the Units through or as a result of any seminar or meeting to which the undersigned was invited by, or any solicitation of a subscription by, a person not previously known to the undersigned in connection with investments in securities generally.
(n) The undersigned has taken no action which would give rise to any claim by any person for brokerage commissions, finders, fees or the like relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (other than commissions to be paid by the Company to the placement agent, if any, its sub-agents or as otherwise described in the Memorandum).
(o) The undersigned is not relying on the Company, the placement agent, if any, or any of their respective employees, agents or sub-agents with respect to the legal, tax, economic and related considerations of an investment in the Units, and the undersigned has relied on the advice of, or has consulted with, only his, her or its own Advisors.
(p) The undersigned acknowledges that any estimates or forward-looking statements or projections included in the Memorandum were prepared by the future management of the Company in good faith, but that the attainment of any such projections, estimates or forward-looking statements cannot be guaranteed by the Company or its management and should not be relied upon.
(q) No oral or written representations have been made, or oral or written information furnished, to the undersigned or his, her or its Advisors, if any, in connection with the offering of the Units which are in any way inconsistent with the information contained in the Memorandum.
(r) The undersigned’s substantive relationship with the placement agent, if any, or subagents through which the undersigned is subscribing for Units predates the placement agent’s or such sub-agents’ contact with the undersigned regarding an investment in the Units.
(s) (For ERISA plans only) The fiduciary of the ERISA plan (the “Plan”) represents that such fiduciary has been informed of an understands the Company’s investment objectives, policies and strategies, and that the decision to invest “plan assets” (as such term is defined in ERISA) in the Company is consistent with the provisions of ERISA that require diversification of plan assets and impose other fiduciary responsibilities. The subscriber or Plan fiduciary (a) is responsible for the decision to invest in the Company; (b) is independent of the Company and any of its affiliates; (c) is qualified to make such investment decision; and (d) in making such decision, the subscriber or Plan fiduciary has not relied primarily on any advice or recommendation of the Company or any of its affiliates or its agents.

(e) The information contained in the Memorandum, as amended or supplemented, is true and correct in all material respects as of its date or the date of such amendment or supplement as applicable.
5. Registration Rights
(a) The Company shall prepare and file a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) with the SEC covering the resale of the Shares and the shares of common stock underlying the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”) by no later than 60 days after the closing of the Merger (the “Filing Deadline”). The Company shall use its best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC within 180 days following the closing of the Merger, and agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to respond promptly to any SEC comments or questions regarding the Registration Statement. Subject to the other provisions contained herein, including but not limited to the Suspension Right below, the Company will maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement from the date of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement until 24 months after that date or until the Shares may be sold without registration pursuant to Rule 144, whichever is first to occur.
In the event that the Company fails to file the Registration Statement within the Filing Deadline, each investor in the Offering will be issued that number of shares of Common Stock equal to 1% of the number of Shares purchased by such investor in the Offering, and an additional 1% at the end of each 30 day period thereafter, until the Company files such Registration Statement; provided, that such additional shares shall be capped at 10% of the number of shares purchased by each such investor in the Offering. In addition, if the Registration Statement is not declared effective by the SEC within 180 days after the closing of the Merger, each investor shall be issued that number of shares equal to 1% of the number of shares purchased by such investor in the Offering, and an additional 1% at the end of each 30 day period thereafter, until such Registration Statement is declared effective; provided, that such additional shares (inclusive of the shares issued for a failure to meet the Filing Deadline) shall be capped at 10% of the number of shares purchased by each such investor in the Offering
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any related agreement to the contrary, the Company shall have the right, at any time, to suspend the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and offers and sales of the Shares pursuant thereto whenever, in the good faith judgment of the Company, (i) continuing such effectiveness or permitting such offers and sales could reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect upon a proposed sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or a merger, acquisition, reorganization, recapitalization or similar current transaction materially affecting the capital, structure, or equity ownership of the Company, (ii) there exists a material development or a potential material development with respect to or involving the Company that the Company would be obligated to disclose in the prospectus used in connection with the Registration Statement, which disclosure, in the good faith judgment of the Company, after considering the advice of counsel, would be premature or otherwise inadvisable at such time, or (iii) the Registration Statement or related prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference contains 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, in light of the circumstances, not misleading (a “Suspension Event”). In the event that the Company shall determine to so suspend the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and offers and sales of the Shares pursuant thereto, the Company shall, in addition to performing those acts required to be performed under the Securities Act and/or the Exchange Act or deemed advisable by the Company, deliver to each subscriber written notice thereof, signed by the Chief Financial Officer or Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Upon receipt of such notice, the subscriber shall discontinue disposition of the Shares until such subscribers (x) are advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Registration Statement and prospectus (and offers and sales thereunder) may be resumed, (y) have received copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus, if applicable, and (z) have received copies of any additional or supplemental filings which are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference into such prospectus. The Company will exercise reasonable commercial efforts to ensure that the use of the Registration Statement and prospectus may be resumed as quickly as practicable.
A-6
(c) The Company's right to suspend the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and the offers and sales of the Shares pursuant thereto, as described in clause (b) above, shall be for a period of time (the “Suspension Period”) beginning on the date of the occurrence of the Suspension Event and expiring on the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which the Suspension Event ceases, or (ii) sixty (60) days after the occurrence of the Suspension Event; provided, however, that there shall not be more than two Suspension Periods in any 12 month period.
(d) The Company shall notify the undersigned at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, upon discovery that, or upon 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 any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing. At the request of the undersigned, the Company shall also prepare, file and furnish to the undersigned a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Shares, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing. The undersigned agrees not to offer or sell any Shares covered by the Registration Statement after receipt of such notification until the receipt of such supplement or amendment.
(e) The Company may request the undersigned to furnish the Company such information with respect to the undersigned and the undersigned’s proposed distribution of the Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing or as shall be required by law or by the SEC in connection therewith, and the undersigned agrees to promptly furnish the Company with such information.
(e) Each of the Company and the Subscriber shall indemnify the other party hereto and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates and agents against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) by the indemnifying party of a material fact contained in any prospectus or other document (including any related registration statement, notification or the like) incident to any registration of the type described in this Section 5, or any omission (or alleged omission) by the indemnifying party to state in any such document a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and shall reimburse such indemnified party for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action; provided that no party will be eligible for indemnification hereunder to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission based upon written information furnished or required to be furnished by such party for use in connection with such registration.

Except as provided herein, the Company shall have the right to make such public announcements and shall control, in its sole and absolute discretion, the timing, form and content of all press releases or other public communications of any sort relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and the Offering and Merger, and the method of their release, or publication thereof.
The subscriber agrees that no portion of the Confidential Information (as defined below) shall be disclosed to third parties, except as may be required by law, without the prior express written consent of the Company; provided, that the subscriber may share such information with such of its officers and professional advisors as may need to know such information to assist the subscriber in its evaluation thereof on the condition that such parties agree to be bound by the terms hereof. “Confidential Information” means the existence and terms of this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, and the disclosures and other information contained herein or in the Memorandum, excluding any disclosures or other information that are publicly available.

(c) The subscriber acknowledges that the placement agent, if any, may act on behalf of the subscribers, solely for the sake of convenience, in connection with confirmation to the Escrow Agent that the Closing has occurred and thereby direct the Escrow Agent to disburse the subscription funds held in escrow to the Company at such time. In doing so, however, the placement agent makes no representation or warranty to the subscribers as to the satisfaction of all conditions precedent to the closing or with respect to any due diligence investigations concerning the Company, all of which shall be and remain the subscriber’s own responsibility.

ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING REQUIREMENTS
The USA PATRIOT Act | What is money laundering? | How big is the problem and why is it important? | ||
The USA PATRIOT Act is designed to detect, deter, and punish terrorists in the United States and abroad. The Act imposes new anti-money laundering requirements on brokerage firms and financial institutions. Since April 24, 2002, all brokerage firms have been required to have new, comprehensive anti-money laundering programs. To help you understand theses efforts, we want to provide you with some information about money laundering and our steps to implement the USA PATRIOT Act. | Money laundering is the process of disguising illegally obtained money so that the funds appear to come from legitimate sources or activities. Money laundering occurs in connection with a wide variety of crimes, including illegal arms sales, drug trafficking, robbery, fraud, racketeering, and terrorism. | The use of the U.S. financial system by criminals to facilitate terrorism or other crimes could taint our financial markets. According to the U.S. State Department, one recent estimate puts the amount of worldwide money laundering activity at $1 trillion a year. |

What are we required to do to eliminate money laundering? | ||
Under new rules required by the USA PATRIOT Act, our anti-money laundering program must designate a special compliance officer, set up employee training, conduct independent audits, and establish policies and procedures to detect and report suspicious transactions and ensure compliance with the new laws. | As part of our required program, we may ask you to provide various identification documents or other information. Until you provide the information or documents we need, we may not be able to effect any transactions for you. |
