Terms not defined herein are as defined in the Offering Documents. The purchase price per Unit is $100,000 although the Company reserves the right to sell fractional units. The Maximum Offering is $1,500,000. There is no minimum offering.
 
THE AGGREGATE AMOUNT SUBSCRIBED FOR HEREBY IS $___________.

(b) This offering will continue until the earlier of (a) the sale of 15 Units, or (b) May 15, 2008, unless extended without notice by the Company for up to two additional 30-day periods (the “Termination Date”). Prior to the Termination Date and as there is no minimum offering, payments delivered herewith will be immediately released to the Company upon acceptance of the subscription. Upon the earlier of a closing for my subscription or completion of the offering, I will be notified promptly by the Company as to whether my subscription has been accepted by the Company.
 
 
 

 
4. Acceptance or Rejection of Subscription.
 
(a) I understand and agree that the Company reserves the right to reject this subscription for the Units, in whole or in part, for any reason and at any time prior to the Closing, notwithstanding prior receipt by me of notice of acceptance of my subscription.
 
(b) In the event of the rejection of this subscription, my subscription payment will be promptly returned to me without interest or deduction and this Subscription Agreement shall have no force or effect. In the event my subscription is accepted and the offering is completed, the funds specified above shall be released to the Company.
 
5. Closing. The closing ("Closing") of this offering may occur any time and from time to time after the Company has received and accepted subscriptions before the Termination Date. The Units subscribed for herein shall not be deemed issued to or owned by me until one copy of this Subscription Agreement has been executed by me and countersigned by the Company and the Closing with respect to such Units has occurred.
 
6. Disclosure. Because this offering is limited to accredited investors as defined in Section 2(15) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Rule 501 promulgated thereunder, in reliance upon the exemption contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, the Units are being sold without registration under the Securities Act. I acknowledge receipt of the Offering Documents, including the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended September 30, 2007 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the period ending December 31, 2007 and all related documents and represent that I have carefully reviewed and understand the Offering Documents and its exhibits. I have received all information and materials regarding the Company that I have requested.
 
I fully understand that the investment or Units involve a high degree of risk. I fully understand the nature of the risks involved in purchasing the Units and I am qualified by my knowledge and experience to evaluate investments of this type. I have carefully considered the potential risks relating to the Company and purchase of its Units and have, in particular, reviewed each of the risks set forth in the Offering Documents. Both my advisors and I have had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from representatives of the Company or persons acting on its behalf concerning the Company and the terms and conditions of a proposed investment in the Company and my advisors and I have also had the opportunity to obtain additional information necessary to verify the accuracy of information furnished about the Company. Accordingly, I have independently evaluated the risks of purchasing the Units.

7. Investor Representations and Warranties. I acknowledge, represent and warrant to, and agree with, the Company as follows:
 
(a) I am aware that my investment involves a high degree of risk as disclosed in the Offering Documents and have read carefully the Offering Documents.
 
(b) I acknowledge and am aware that there is no assurance as to the future performance of the Company.
 
(c) I acknowledge that there may be certain adverse tax consequences to me in connection with my purchase of Units, and the Company has advised me to seek the advice of experts in such areas prior to making this investment.
 
(d) I am purchasing the Units for my own account for investment purposes and not with a view to or for sale in connection with the distribution of the Units, the Notes, the Shares, or the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes and in payment of interest, nor with any present intention of selling or otherwise disposing of all or any part of the foregoing securities. I agree that I must bear the entire economic risk of my investment for an indefinite period of time because, among other reasons, 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 applicable securities laws of certain states or an exemption from such registration is available. Furthermore, I hereby acknowledge and agree that I will not, except in compliance with law, sell, transfer, pledge, encumber, give or otherwise dispose of, either publicly or privately, the Units, the Notes, the Shares, or the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes and in payment of interest. I hereby authorize the Company to place a legend denoting the restrictions on the Units that may be issued to me, as well as the Notes, Shares, and shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes and in payment of interest.
 
(e) I recognize that the Units, as an investment, involve a high degree of risk including, but not limited to, the risk of economic losses from operations of the Company and the total loss of my investment. I believe that the investment in the Units is suitable for me based upon my investment objectives and financial needs, and I have adequate means for providing for my current financial needs and contingencies and have no need for liquidity with respect to my investment in the Company.
 
(f) I have been given access to full and complete information regarding the Company and have utilized such access to my satisfaction for the purpose of obtaining information in addition to, or verifying information included in, the Offering Documents and related documents, and I have either met with or been given reasonable opportunity to meet with officers of the Company for the purpose of asking questions of, and receiving answers from, such officers concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Units and the business and operations of the Company and to obtain any additional information, to the extent reasonably available.
 
 
3

 
(g) I have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Units and have obtained, in my judgment, sufficient information from the Company to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Company. I have not utilized any person as my purchaser representative as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act in connection with evaluating such merits and risks.
 
(h) I have relied solely upon my own investigation in making a decision to invest in the Company.
 
(i) I have received no representation or warranty from the Company or any of its officers, directors, employees or agents in respect of my investment in the Company and I have received no information (written or otherwise) from them relating to the Company or its business other than as set forth in the Offering Documents. I am not participating in the offer as a result of or subsequent to: (i) any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or (ii) any seminar or meeting whose attendees have been invited by any general solicitation or general advertising.
 
(j) I have had full opportunity to ask questions and to receive satisfactory answers concerning the offering and other matters pertaining to my investment and all such questions have been answered to my full satisfaction.
 
(k) I have been provided an opportunity to obtain any additional information concerning the offering and the Company and all other information to the extent the Company possesses such information or can acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense.
 
(l) I am an "accredited investor" as defined in Section 2(15) of the Securities Act and in Rule 501 promulgated thereunder. I can bear the entire economic risk of the investment in the Units for an indefinite period of time and I am knowledgeable about and experienced in investments in the equity securities of non-publicly traded companies, including early stage companies. I am acquiring the Units for my own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to the resale or distribution of such securities within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. I am not acting as an underwriter or a conduit for sale to the public or to others of unregistered securities, directly or indirectly, on behalf of the Company or any person with respect to such securities.
 
(m) I understand that (i) the Units and the underlying securities have not been registered under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of certain states in reliance on specific exemptions from registration, (ii) no securities administrator of any state or the federal government has recommended or endorsed this offering or made any finding or determination relating to the fairness of an investment in the Company and (iii) the Company is relying on my representations and agreements for the purpose of determining whether this transaction meets the requirements of the exemptions afforded by the Securities Act and certain state securities laws.
 
 
4

 
(n) I understand that (i) since neither the offer nor sale of the Units has been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state, the Units may not be sold, assigned, pledged or otherwise disposed of unless they are so registered or an exemption from such registration is available, and (ii) it is not anticipated that there will be any market for the resale of the Units.
 
(o) I have been urged to seek independent advice from my professional advisors relating to the suitability of an investment in the Company in view of my overall financial needs and with respect to the legal and tax implications of such investment.
 
(p) If the Investor is a corporation, company, trust, employee benefit plan, individual retirement account, Keogh Plan, or other tax-exempt entity, it is authorized and qualified to become an Investor in the Company and the person signing this Subscription Agreement on behalf of such entity has been duly authorized by such entity to do so.
 
(q) The information contained in my Investor Questionnaire, as well as any information which I have furnished to the Company with respect to my financial position and business experience, is correct and complete as of the date of this Subscription Agreement and, if there should be any material change in such information prior to the Closing of the offering, I will furnish such revised or corrected information to the Company.
 
(r) Neither the Investor or any person acting on its behalf or at its direction will engage in any short sale hypothecation or other similar transaction with the Company's Common Stock.
 
I hereby acknowledge and am aware that except for any rescission rights that may be provided under applicable laws, I am not entitled to cancel, terminate or revoke this subscription, and any agreements made in connection herewith shall survive my death or disability.
 
8. Indemnification. I hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its officers, directors, stockholders, employees, agents, and counsel against any and all losses, claims, demands, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal or other expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by each such person in connection with defending or investigating any such claims or liabilities, whether or not resulting in any liability to such person, to which any such indemnified party may become subject under the Securities Act, under any other statute, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, demands, liabilities and expenses (a) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact made by me and contained in this Subscription Agreement or my Investor Questionnaire, or (b) arise out of or are based upon any breach by me of any representation, warranty, or agreement made by me contained herein or therein.
