The undersigned (the “Subscriber” or the “Purchaser”) hereby subscribes to purchase from Skinny Nutritional Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Shares” or the “Securities”), on the terms as described herein. The Company is offering hereby (the “Offering”) a total of $2,000,000 of its Common Shares on a “best efforts” basis, consisting of 66,666,667 Common Shares.

(a)           Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and on the basis of the representations and warranties hereinafter set forth, the Company hereby agrees to issue and sell to the Subscriber and the Subscriber agrees to purchase from the Company, upon Closing, the Securities as described herein for the Purchase Price as set forth on the signature page of this Subscription Agreement executed by the Subscriber. The number of Securities purchased hereunder by a Subscriber shall be as specified on the signature page of this Subscription Agreement executed by the Subscriber. The Company may reject any subscription in whole or in part.

The Offering consists of a total of 66,666,667 Common Shares. This Offering is only being made to “accredited investors” (as defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)) in reliance upon an exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder, and on similar exemptions under applicable state laws.

1.2           High Risk Investment. This investment is speculative and should only be made by investors who can afford the risk of loss of their entire investment. The proceeds from the sale of the Securities will be used to fund short term capital needs to enable the Company to maintain operations until additional funding is received. The Company may sell additional securities after the completion of this transaction to further fund its operations. Unless the Company is successful in completing these additional funding transactions, or is able to generate sufficient revenue from operations, the Company may be forced to significantly curtail its operations and the Subscribers will lose their entire investment.

1.3           Selling Agents; Certain Expenses. The Company intends to engage registered broker-dealers to serve as selling agents (the “Selling Agents”), for the sale of the Securities and pay commissions and other compensation to the Selling Agents who procure purchasers of the Securities.  We will pay commissions of up to 10% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the Securities in this Offering to subscribers procured by such Selling Agents and may pay other compensation to and the expenses of the Selling Agents who procure purchasers of the Securities. We will also issue to the Selling Agent such number of restricted shares of Common Stock of the Company as equals 5.0% of the number of Common Shares (the “Agent Shares”) actually sold in the Offering to Subscribers procured by the Selling Agents. The Company may agree to indemnify the Selling Agents against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, and liabilities arising from breaches of representations and warranties contained in the agreement, or to contribute to payments that it may be required to make in respect of such liabilities.

Restrictions on

Transferability:

The Common Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or under the securities laws of the United States or of any state or other jurisdiction. As a result, the Securities may not be transferred without registration under the Securities Act, or, if applicable, the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction, unless in the opinion of counsel to the Company, such registration is not then required because of the availability of an exemption from registration.

All Purchasers must complete and execute a Subscription Agreement and a confidential Purchaser Questionnaire.

The Securities are suitable investments only for sophisticated investors for whom an investment in the Securities does not constitute a complete investment program and who fully understand, are willing to assume, and who have the financial resources necessary to withstand, the risks involved in investing in the Securities and who can bear the potential loss of their entire investment. The Securities are being offered and sold only to persons who qualify as “accredited investors,” as defined under Regulation D of the Securities Act

 

           1.4           No Escrow and No Minimum Offering Amount; Multiple Closings.

Each Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that all subscription amounts will be deposited in an account maintained by the Company, that there is no escrow of funds and that there is no minimum Offering amount necessary for the funds to be released to the Company.  Accordingly, funds may be released to the Company and closings held, from time to time, as determined by the Company at any time during the Offering Period. During the Offering Period, subscription funds will be placed into the Company’s account and closings will be held from time to time up to the sale of the maximum amount of Common Shares described in this Subscription Agreement or the expiration of the Offering Period. At each closing of the transactions contemplated herein (the “Closing”), the Subscribers shall purchase, severally and not jointly, and the Company shall issue and sell, to the Subscribers the amount of Common Shares as indicated on the signature page of each Subscriber’s subscription agreement, up to the total Offering amount.  The Common Shares may be purchased, in part or their entirety, by officers and directors of the Company or representatives of the Selling Agents. Each Closing shall occur on the date determined by the Company at such times and/or locations as the Company may set. A final Closing shall be held either on the date of which this Offering is fully subscribed or the last date during the Offering Period on which the Company accepts a subscription, whichever is latest.

1.5           Closing Matters. At each Closing the following actions shall be taken:

(a)           each Subscriber shall deliver its Purchase Price in immediately available United States funds to the account established for the Offering;

(b)           the Company shall cause its stock transfer agent to deliver certificates representing the Common Shares subscribed for to each Subscriber; and

(c)           each of the Company and the Subscriber shall deliver to the other signed copies of this Agreement and the Subscriber shall deliver to the Company a completed and executed Purchaser Questionnaire.

(a)           On March 11, 2011, at the Company’s Special Meeting of Stockholders, the Company’s stockholders approved the amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock of the Company from 500,000,000 shares to 1,000,000,000 shares. On March 14, 2011, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation in the State of Nevada to increase the number of its authorized shares of common stock to 1,000,000,000 shares.  

(b)           On February 25, 2011, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement and a separate consulting agreement with Mr. Jon Bakhshi (the “Investor”). Pursuant to the purchase agreement, the Investor purchased, at a purchase price of $0.03 per share of common stock, an aggregate of (i) 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, (ii) Class A Warrants to purchase 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock which are exercisable at $0.035 per share for a period of 18 months, and (iii) Class B Warrants to purchase 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock which are exercisable at $0.04 per share for a period of 24 months. The Company received total proceeds of $300,000 under the purchase agreement and intends to use such proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes. Pursuant to the consulting agreement, the Company engaged the Investor to perform consulting services related to the Company’s marketing, distribution and general business functions. The consulting agreement is for a term of twelve months, unless sooner terminated by either party in accordance with its terms. As compensation for the services to be provided under the Consulting Agreement, the Company shall pay to the Investor a consulting fee of 10,000,000 restricted shares of the Company’s Common Stock. In addition, the Investor may perform additional services for the Company related to certain strategic initiatives for which it shall be entitled to additional compensation. Upon successful completion of a strategic initiative, the Company shall award 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock to the Investor; however, the maximum number of additional shares of Common Stock to which the Investor may be entitled for performing additional services is 20,000,000 shares.  The securities of the Company offered and sold to the Investor under the purchase agreement and issuable under the consulting agreement were offered, sold and issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as transactions not involving a public offering.  

(c)           As of February 11, 2011, the Company entered into Stock Purchase Agreements with a limited number of accredited investors pursuant to which the Company offered and sold an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock to such investors and received aggregate gross proceeds of $150,000.  The purchase price for the shares of Common Stock sold to these investors was $0.03 per share. The securities of the Company offered and sold to these investor were offered and sold in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as transactions not involving any public offering.

(d)           On January 18, 2011, the Company awarded Mr. Michael Zuckerman, a member of its Board of Directors, 2,000,000 restricted shares of Common Stock in consideration of his efforts on behalf of the Company in addition to his board service. Further, as of February 14, 2011, the Company issued 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock to a consultant for services rendered. The issuance of the foregoing securities were exempt from registration under the Securities Act, under Section 4(2) thereof, as transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering.

(e)           The Company commenced a private offering in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder pursuant to which it offered an aggregate amount of $3,000,000 of its Common Stock at a purchase price per share of $0.03.  As of December 22, 2010, the Company had accepted subscriptions in the aggregate amount of $1,035,750 for a total of 34,525,000 shares of Common Stock.  Net proceeds from such sales, after payment of offering expenses and commissions, were approximately $945,750.  The Company is using the proceeds from this transaction for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Company agreed to pay commissions to registered broker-dealers that procured investors in the offering of 10% of the proceeds received from such purchasers and to issue such persons such number of shares of restricted common stock as equals 5% of the total number of shares of Common Stock sold to investors procured by them.

1.10           Risk Factors

     As of December 31, 2009, the Company had a net loss of $7,305,831 and an accumulated deficit of $30,912,821, of which $19,652,598 is directly related to the development of Skinny Nutritional products. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company had a net loss of $2,186,788 and $5,396,744, respectively. The Company had an accumulated deficit at September 30, 2010 of $36,309,595, of which $23,204,055 is directly related to the development of the Company’s products. The Company had a net loss of $6,232,123 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 and an accumulated deficit of $22,229,657 of which $14,234,212 is directly related to the development of Skinny Nutritional products. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company incurred a net loss from operations of $7,233,640 and $5,199,536, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company’s loss from operations was $2,122,688 and $5,248,379, respectively. This compares to a loss from operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 of $1,426,563 and $3,358,826, respectively.

The Company generated revenues of $4,146,066 (net of billbacks of $687,507 and slotting fees of $453,022) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to revenues of $2,179,055 (after billbacks of $112,717) for the year ended December 31, 2008. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, revenues (net of billbacks and slotting fees) were $1,882,912 and $5,911,218, respectively, as compared to revenues (net of billbacks and slotting fees) of $1,543,799 and $3,861,549 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. If the Company is not able to begin to earn an operating profit at some point in the future, it will eventually have insufficient working capital to maintain its operations as it presently intends to conduct them. In light of the foregoing, the Company presently anticipates that it will require additional funds in order to implement its business plan and sustain its operations.

 

The Company has been substantially reliant on capital raised from private placements of its securities, in addition to a revolving line of credit, to fund its operations. The Company has an immediate need for cash to fund its working capital requirements and business model objectives. The Company, however, currently has no firm agreements with any third-parties for such transactions and no assurances can be given that it will be successful in raising sufficient capital from any proposed financings. At September 30, 2010, the Company’s cash balance was approximately $60,000 and it had accounts payable as of such date of $2,721,541.

During the 2009 fiscal year, the Company raised approximately $4,900,000 from the sale of securities to accredited investors in private transactions pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Further, during the 2010 fiscal year, the Company has raised an aggregate amount of approximately $2,635,750, less offering costs of approximately $258,862, from the sale of securities to accredited investor in previous private placements under Rule 506 of Regulation D. However, as the Company has experienced similar trends with respect to its rate of cash used in operations, it will need to satisfy its cash requirements through the offer and sale of additional securities, including those in this Offering. In light of the Company’s financial position, including the factors mentioned above and in its SEC Reports, the Company expects the proceeds of this Offering, assuming the sale of the Maximum Offering, together with available cash, will only last for a minimal period of time. Thereafter, the Company expects to require additional capital which it would seek to raise from the sale of additional securities or through a debt financing arrangement. If less than the Maximum Offering is sold, the Company will need to raise a greater amount of capital than presently and to do so sooner than anticipated. Any failure to raise adequate capital in a timely manner would have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition and future growth prospects.

Our independent auditors have included a “going concern” explanatory paragraph in their report to our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, citing recurring losses from operations. Our capital needs in the future will depend upon factors such as market acceptance of our products and any other new products we launch, the success of our independent distributors and our production, marketing and sales costs. None of these factors can be predicted with certainty. The Company must satisfy its future cash needs by further developing a market for its products, selling additional securities in private placements or by negotiating for an extension of credit from third party lenders. The Company presently anticipates that it will require additional funds in order to implement its business plan and sustain its operations.

If the Company is unable to achieve sufficient levels of sales, it will need substantial additional debt or equity financing in the future in addition to any funds which it may receive in this Offering and the Company currently has no commitments or arrangement with respect to any additional financings. No assurances can be given that any additional financing, if required, will be available or, even if it is available that it will be on acceptable terms. If the Company raises additional funds by selling common stock or convertible securities, the ownership of our existing shareholders will be diluted. If additional funds are raised though the issuance of equity or debt securities, such additional securities may have powers, designations, preferences or rights senior to our currently outstanding securities. Any inability to obtain required financing on sufficiently favorable terms could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. If the Company is unsuccessful in raising additional capital and increasing revenues from operations, it will need to reduce costs and operations substantially. Further, if expenditures required to achieve plans are greater than projected or if revenues are less than, or are generated more slowly than, projected, the Company will need to raise a greater amount of funds than currently expected.  

Dilution of the per share value of our Common Shares could result from the issuance of the Common Shares in this Offering. If this Offering is fully subscribed, the Company will issue an aggregate of 66,666,667 additional Common Shares, or 16,666,667. The issuance of a substantial number of our Common Shares will dilute the equity interests of the Company’s current stockholders.

The Securities offered hereby will be issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and therefore have not been and will not be registered under that act or any applicable state securities laws. Consequently, the Securities may be sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of by the Purchasers hereunder only if, among other things, the Common Shares are registered or, in the opinion of counsel acceptable to us, registration is not required under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws. Accordingly, Subscribers will need to rely on exemptions to the registration requirements under the Securities Act and the “blue sky” laws in order to be able to resell the Securities offered hereby.

Purchasers of our Securities must be aware of the long-term nature of their investment and be able to bear the economic risks of their investment for an indefinite period of time. The Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities or “blue sky” laws of any state. The right of any Subscriber to sell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of the Securities offered herein will be limited by the Securities Act and state securities laws and the regulations promulgated thereunder. Accordingly, under the Securities Act, the Securities offered herein may not be resold unless a registration statement is filed and becomes effective or an exemption from registration is available. The Company is not under any affirmative obligation to file a registration statement covering the Securities and even if the Company did file a registration statement covering the Securities, there can be no assurance that any such registration statement would be declared effective. Further, there can be no assurance that a liquid market for our Common Stock will be sustained. Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act requires, among other conditions, a holding period prior to the resale of securities acquired in a non-public offering without having to satisfy the registration requirements of the Securities Act. There can be no assurance that we will fulfill in the future any reporting requirements under the Exchange Act, or disseminate to the public any current financial or other information concerning the Company, as required by Rule 144 as one of the conditions of its availability.

No person or entity is committed to purchase any of the Securities offered pursuant to this Offering, and no assurance is or can be given that all or any of the Securities offered hereunder will be sold.  Further, no escrow account for the subscription amounts from investors is maintained and no minimum amounts of Common Shares are required to be sold.  Proceeds received from the Offering will be available to the Company upon receipt, which the Company intends to promptly utilize in accordance with the terms of the “Use of Proceeds” section of this Subscription Agreement, including the payment of outstanding obligations. The application of the proceeds of the Offering to the payment of current obligations would reduce the ability of the Company to utilize such proceeds for other business purposes.  In the event that the Company is unable to sell all or a significant portion of the Securities pursuant to the Offering, the Company may have insufficient capital after making the aforesaid payments to proceed with the Company’s business strategies and thus may be forced to seek additional capital sooner than would have been the case had the Offering been fully subscribed. There can be no assurance that such additional funds will be available to the Company when required on terms acceptable to the Company. The Company’s inability to obtain financing on favorable terms could restrict its operations and could materially harm an investment in the Company.

 

This Offering is being made on a “best efforts” rather than a firm commitment basis. No commitment exists by anyone, including any Selling Agent, to purchase all or any part of the Securities being offered pursuant to this Offering. There can be no assurance that any Securities offered hereby will be sold. The Company has not established an escrow account for this Offering and funds deposited for subscription to the Securities will be deposited into an account maintained by the Company.  Further, there is no “minimum offering” amount required in this Offering and we have not established an escrow account for the receipt of funds in this Offering. Accordingly, closings may be held and funds released to the Company at such times and in such amounts, up to the maximum Offering amount, as determined by the Company in its discretion.

 

The Company has employed its own legal counsel in connection with this Offering. The Purchasers have not been represented by independent counsel in connection with the preparation of this Subscription Agreement or the terms of this Offering and no investigation of the merits or fairness of this Offering has been conducted on behalf of the Purchasers. Company Counsel has not conducted due diligence on behalf of the Purchasers. Prospective investors should consult with their own legal, tax and financial advisors with respect to the Offering made hereby.

Our management will have broad discretion with respect to the use of the proceeds of this offering.

We have highlighted the intended use of proceeds for this Offering, including repayment of outstanding accounts payable. However, our management will have broad discretion as to the application of these net proceeds and could use them for purposes other than those contemplated at the time of this Offering. Our stockholders may not agree with the manner in which our management chooses to allocate and spend the net proceeds.

The Common Shares are being offered pursuant to various available exemptions from registration from U.S. federal and state securities law registration requirements. Compliance with such laws, which must be met in order for such exemptions to be available to us, is highly technical and to some extent involves elements beyond our control. If the proper exemptions do not ultimately prove to be available, we could be subject to the claims of all or only some of our shareholders for violations of federal or state securities laws, which could materially adversely affect our profitability or operations or make an investment in the Common Shares worthless.

Under its articles of incorporation, the Company is presently authorized to issue up to 1,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock. As of January 14, 2011, there are outstanding 354,176,544 shares of Common Stock. Subsequent to that date, the Company has issued, or agreed to issue, a total of 64,958,333 additional shares of Common Stock, as reported in its SEC Reports. The Company may, at any time after consummation or termination of this Offering, offer and sell additional securities of the Company upon such terms and conditions as the Board believes to be in the best interests of the Company. The Company may seek to engage in future offerings of its securities so as to sustain the operations and business activities of the Company. The sale of additional equity securities will dilute or reduce the percentage of ownership interests of the Purchasers. Further, the market price of our Common Shares could fall due to an increase in the number of shares available for sale in the public market.

 

As of January 14, 2011, there were issued and outstanding options to purchase 28,825,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 54,877,830 additional shares of common stock To the extent that these securities are exercised or converted, dilution to our shareholders will occur. In addition, the Company sold 20,350 shares of Series A Preferred Stock during fiscal 2009. Under the terms of the Certificate of Designation, Preferences, Rights and Limitations of the Series A Preferred Stock, all shares of Series A Preferred Stock were automatically convertible into 33,916,667 shares of Common Stock upon the filing by the Company of a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Nevada. However, as of January 14, 2011, holders of 1,920 shares of Series A Preferred Stock have not yet surrendered such shares for cancellation and the Company will issue an additional 3,200,000 shares of Common Stock to such holders upon the surrender of their certificates representing shares of Series A Preferred Stock. In addition, subsequent to January 14, 2011, the Company has issued an additional 20,000,000 warrants to purchase common stock, as reported in the SEC Reports. Further, the Company may issue 5,351,250 shares of Common Stock pursuant to unvested restricted stock awards and issue an additional 4,178,583 shares of Common Stock and warrants to certain third parties pursuant to consulting or other business arrangements. The exercise and conversion of these securities by the holders and issuance of these additional shares of Common Stock may adversely affect the market price of the Company’s Common Shares and the terms under which we could obtain additional equity capital.

We currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to support operations and to finance expansion and therefore, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future.

Our Common Shares are currently traded on the OTC Bulletin Board. Stocks traded on the OTC Bulletin Board generally have limited trading volume and exhibit a wide spread between the bid/ask quotations. We cannot predict whether a more active market for our Common Shares will develop in the future. In the absence of an active trading market investors may have difficulty buying and selling our Common Shares or obtaining market quotations; market visibility for our Common Shares may be limited; and a lack of visibility for our Common Shares may have a depressive effect on the market price for our Common Shares.

Our Common Shares are subject to Rules 15g-1 through 15g-9 under the Exchange Act, which imposes certain sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell our Common Shares to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors” (as defined in Rule 501(c) of the Securities Act). For transactions covered by this rule, a broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the sale. This rule adversely affects the ability of broker-dealers to sell our Common Shares and purchasers of our Common Shares to sell their shares of our Common Shares.

Additionally, our Common Shares are subject to SEC regulations applicable to “penny stocks.” Penny stocks include any non-Nasdaq equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. The regulations require that prior to any non-exempt buy/sell transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule proscribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market must be delivered by a broker-dealer to the purchaser of such penny stock. This disclosure must include the amount of commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current price quotations for our Common Shares. The regulations also require that monthly statements be sent to holders of a penny stock that disclose recent price information for the penny stock and information of the limited market for penny stocks. These requirements adversely affect the market liquidity of our Common Shares.

As of January 14, 2011, of the 354,176,544 issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock, approximately 146,235,620 shares may be deemed “restricted shares” and, in the future, may be sold in compliance with Rule 144 under the securities Act of 1933, as amended. In general, under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who is not deemed to have been an affiliate of ours at any time during the three months preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 for at least six months (including any period of consecutive ownership of preceding non-affiliated holders) would be entitled to sell those shares, subject only to the availability of current public information about us. A non-affiliated person who has beneficially owned restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 for at least one year would be entitled to sell those shares without regard to the provisions of Rule 144. A person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who is deemed to be an affiliate of ours and who has beneficially owned restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 for at least six months would be entitled to sell within any three-month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of one percent of the then outstanding shares of our common stock or the average weekly trading volume of our common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding such sale. Such sales are also subject to certain manner of sale provisions, notice requirements and the availability of current public information about us. Possible or actual sales of our Common Stock by certain of our present shareholders under Rule 144 may, in the future, have a depressive effect on the price of our Common Stock in any market which may develop for such shares. Such sales at that time may have a depressive effect on the price of our Common Stock in the open market.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market following this offering could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. If the total Offering is completed, we will issue an aggregate of 66,666,667 additional Common Shares, and if we exercise the oversubscription right, will issue an additional 16,666,667 Common Shares thereafter. Based on a total of 419,134,877 shares of common stock outstanding, if the total Offering is completed (including the oversubscription amount), the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock would be 502,468,211 shares, assuming no exercise of outstanding options or warrants. The issuance of a substantial number of our Common Shares will dilute the equity interests of the Company’s current stockholders. Further, as a substantial majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock are, tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act of 1933 unless these shares are purchased by affiliates, the issuance of the Common Shares offered hereby may further depress the market price of our Common Stock.

The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value. Presently, the Company does not have any shares of preferred stock outstanding.  The preferred stock may be issued in series from time to time with such designation, voting and other rights, preferences and limitations as our Board of Directors may determine by resolution. Unless the nature of a particular transaction and applicable statutes require such approval, the Board of Directors has the authority to issue these shares without stockholder approval subject to approval of the holders of our preferred stock. The issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company without any further action by our stockholders.

This Agreement and the exhibits annexed hereto contain certain forward looking information within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements relate to future events or future predictions, including events or predictions relating to our future financial performance, and are generally identifiable by use of the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes”, “expects”, “may”, “will”, “should”, “plan”, “intend”, or “anticipates” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology, or by discussion of strategy that involve risks an uncertainties. Management wishes to caution each Subscriber that these forward-looking statements and other statements contained herein regarding matters that are not historical facts, are only predictions and estimates regarding future events and circumstances and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks described under “Risk Factors” that may cause the Company’s or its industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. This information is based on various assumptions by the management which may not prove to be correct.

In addition to the risks described in Risk Factors, important factors to consider and evaluate in such forward-looking statements include: (i) changes in the external competitive market factors which might impact the Company’s results of operations; (ii) unanticipated working capital or other cash requirements including those created by the failure of the Company to adequately anticipate the costs associated with clinical trials, manufacturing and other critical activities; (iii) changes in the Company’s business strategy or an inability to execute its strategy due to the occurrence of unanticipated events; (iv) the inability or failure of the Company’s management to devote sufficient time and energy to the Company’s business; and (v) the failure of the Company to complete any or all of the transactions described herein on the terms currently contemplated. In light of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained or incorporated by reference in this Agreement will in fact transpire.

 

All of these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of our Company. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that actual results will meet expectations or will not be materially lower than the results contemplated in this Agreement. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this document or, in the case of documents referred to or incorporated by reference, the dates of those documents. The Company does not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this document or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as may be required under applicable U.S. securities law.

By signing this Agreement, each undersigned Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows as an inducement to the Company to accept the subscription of the Purchaser:

(F)           The Purchaser has received or obtained access to certain information regarding the Company, including this Agreement, the SEC Reports and other accompanying documents of the Company receipt of which is hereby acknowledged. The Purchaser has carefully reviewed all information provided to it and has carefully evaluated and understands the risks described therein related to the Company and an investment in the Company, and understands and has relied only on the information provided to it in writing by the Company relating to this investment. No agent prepared any of the information to be delivered to prospective investors in connection with this transaction. Prospective investors are advised to conduct their own review of the business, properties and affairs of the Company before subscribing to purchase the Securities.

(G)           The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that investing in the Company’s Securities involves risks and that the Company’s operating results and financial condition have varied in the past and may in the future vary significantly depending on a number of factors. The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it has evaluated and understands the risks regarding investing in the Company’s securities, including the risks identified in this Subscription Agreement and the risk factors described in the Company’s reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “SEC Reports”). The Purchaser agrees that the risks described herein and in such SEC Reports are not the only risks facing the Company. The Purchaser agrees that these risks could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity and cause its actual operating results to materially differ from those contained in any forward-looking statements made in this Subscription Agreement, in the Company’s SEC Reports and elsewhere by management. Before making an investment decision, each Purchaser acknowledges that it has been advised that it should carefully consider these risks as well as other information contained or incorporated by reference in this Subscription Agreement. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company or that it currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and/or operating results.

(H)           The Purchaser also understands and agrees that, although the Company will use its best efforts to keep the information provided in this Agreement strictly confidential, the Company or its counsel may present this Agreement and the information provided in answer to it to such parties as they may deem advisable if called upon to establish the availability under any federal or state securities laws of an exemption from registration of the private placement or if the contents thereof are relevant to any issue in any action, suit or proceeding to which the Company or its affiliates is a party, or by which they are or may be bound or as otherwise required by law or regulatory authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser, or include the name of any Purchaser in any filing with the Commission without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except as required by federal securities law in connection with the disclosure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to the extent such disclosure is required by law or regulation, in which case the Company shall provide the Purchasers with prior notice of such disclosure permitted under this clause.

(K)           In entering into this Agreement and in purchasing the Securities, the Purchaser further acknowledges that:

(i)  The Company has informed the Purchaser that the Securities have not been offered for sale by means of general advertising or solicitation and the Purchaser acknowledges that it has either a pre-existing personal or business relationship with either the Company or any of its officers, directors or controlling person, of a nature and duration such as would enable a reasonable prudent investor to be aware of the character, business acumen, and general business and financial circumstances of the Company and an investment in the Securities.

(ii)  Neither the Securities nor any interest therein may be resold by the Purchaser in the absence of a registration under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration. In particular, the Purchaser is aware that all of the foregoing described Securities will be “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 the conditions thereof are met. Other than set forth in this Agreement, the Company has no obligation to register any securities purchased or issuable hereunder.

(iii)  The following legend (or substantially similar language) shall be placed on the certificate(s) or other instruments evidencing the Securities:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND NEITHER SUCH NOTES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, ASSIGNED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS (1) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT THERETO IS EFFECTIVE UNDER THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR (2) THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE HOLDER OF SUCH NOTES, WHICH COUNSEL AND OPINION ARE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT SUCH NOTES MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, ASSIGNED OR TRANSFERRED IN THE MANNER CONTEMPLATED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

(iv)  The Company may at any time place a stop transfer order on its transfer books against the Securities. Such stop order will be removed, and further transfer of the Securities will be permitted, upon an effective registration of the respective Securities, or the receipt by the Company of an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company that such further transfer may be effected pursuant to an applicable exemption from registration.

(L)           The Company has employed its own legal counsel in connection with the Offering. The Purchasers have not been represented by independent counsel in connection with the preparation of this Agreement or the terms of this Offering and no investigation of the merits or fairness of the Offering has been conducted on behalf of the Purchasers. Each Purchaser has had the opportunity to consult with its own legal, tax and financial advisors with respect to the Offering made pursuant to this Agreement.

(M)           ________ (insert name of Purchaser Representative: if none leave blank) has acted as the Purchaser’s Purchaser Representative for purposes of the private placement exemption under the Act.  If the Purchaser has appointed a Purchaser Representative (which term is used herein with the same meaning as given in Rule 501(h) of Regulation D), the Purchaser has been advised by his Purchaser Representative as to the merits and risks of an investment in the Company in general and the suitability of an investment in the Securities for the Purchaser in particular.

(N)           The undersigned hereby acknowledges that officers, affiliates, employees and directors of the Company and/or the Selling Agents may purchase Securities in the Offering on the same terms and conditions as the Purchasers.

(P)           The Purchaser acknowledges that any delivery to it of this Agreement relating to the Securities prior to the determination by the Company of its suitability as a Purchaser shall not constitute an offer of the Securities until such determination of suitability shall be made, and the Purchaser hereby agrees that it shall promptly return this Agreement and the other Offering documents to the Company upon request. The Purchaser understands that the Company shall have the right to accept or reject this subscription in whole or in part. Unless this subscription is accepted in whole or in part by the Company this subscription shall be deemed rejected in whole.

(Q)           Each Purchaser acknowledges that it is aware (and that its representatives who are apprised of this matter have been or will be advised) that the United States securities laws restrict persons with material non-public information about a company obtained directly or indirectly from that company from purchasing or selling securities of such company, or from communicating such information to any other person under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such person is likely to purchase or sell such securities. Each Purchaser hereby confirm and acknowledges that it is in receipt of material, non-public information regarding this Offering and the Company and each Purchaser further agrees and acknowledges that it will hold such information in confidence, is restricted in its ability to use such information and may not use any such information in contravention of applicable securities laws or otherwise, including trading in the Company’s securities, except for the purpose of evaluating an investment in the Company’s securities.  Each Purchaser agrees to comply with such restrictions for so long as it (or its representatives) posses any material, non-public information concerning the Company or the transactions contemplated herein.

(R)           Each Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that there is no “minimum” offering amount for the Securities and that there is no escrow of the funds deposited by the Purchaser for the purchase of the Securities. The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that funds may be immediately released to the Company.

4.1           Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Purchasers and shall reimburse Purchasers for, from and against each claim, loss, liability, cost and expense (including without limitation, interest, penalties, costs of preparation and investigation, and the reasonable fees, disbursements and expenses of attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors) (collectively, “Losses”) directly or indirectly relating to, resulting from or arising out of any untrue representation, misrepresentation, breach of warranty or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or other obligation by or of the Company contained herein or in any certificate, document, or instrument delivered to Purchasers pursuant hereto.

4.2            Indemnification by Purchasers. Purchasers agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Company and shall reimburse the Company for, from and against all Losses directly or indirectly relating to, resulting from or arising out of any untrue representation, misrepresentation, breach of warranty or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or other obligation of the Purchasers contained herein or in any certificate, document or instrument delivered to the Company pursuant hereto.

4.3           Procedure. The party to be indemnified hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the party providing indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any claim, demand, action or proceeding for which indemnification may be sought under Sections 4.1 or 4.2 of this Agreement, and, if such claim, demand, action or proceeding is a third party claim, demand, action or proceeding (collectively, an “Action”), the Indemnifying Party will have the right at its expense to assume the defense thereof using counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party; provided, however any failure or delay to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve it from its obligation to indemnify any  Indemnified Party, unless and only to the extent that such failure or delay results in the forfeiture by the Indemnifying Party of substantial rights and defenses or the Indemnifying Party is otherwise materially prejudiced by such failure or delay. Any Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Indemnifying Party in writing, (ii) the Indemnifying Party has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Indemnifying Party and the position of such Indemnified Party, in which case the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel for the Indemnified Party.  In connection with any such third party Action, Purchasers and the Company shall cooperate with each other and provide each other with access to relevant books and records in their possession. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, effect any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in any pending or threatened Action in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity was or could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Action. Further, no Indemnified Party seeking indemnification hereunder will, without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, settle, compromise, consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any Action. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for settlement of any Action effected without its written consent.

Each Purchaser and the Company agree that the Purchasers shall be entitled to the registration rights with respect to the Securities as set forth in this Section 5.1

(a)           Definition of Registrable Securities. As used in this Section 5.1, the term “Registrable Security” means (i) each of the Common Shares issued under this Agreement and (ii) any securities issued upon any stock split or stock dividend in respect thereof; provided, however, that with respect to any particular Registrable Security, such security shall cease to be a Registrable Security when, as of the date of determination; (A) it has been and remains effectively registered under the Securities Act and disposed of pursuant thereto; (B) in the opinion of counsel to the Company, registration under the Securities Act is no longer required for subsequent public distribution of such security pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, or otherwise; or (C) it has ceased to be outstanding. The term “Registrable Securities” means any and all of the securities falling within the foregoing definition of “Registrable Security.” In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization or other change in corporate structure affecting the Common Stock, such adjustment shall be made in the definition of “Registrable Security” as is appropriate to prevent any dilution or increase of the rights granted pursuant to this Clause (a) as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

(b)           Registration by the Company. Commencing on the Closing Date and for a period of three years thereafter, in the event that the Company intends to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act, other than registration statement on Form S-4 or S-8, or successor forms thereto, and registration statements filed but not effective prior to the termination of this Offering, to register for sale any of its shares of Common Stock, the Company will include for resale under the Securities Act in the registration statement the Registrable Securities of the Holder in accordance with this Section 5.1. The Company shall advise the Holder of the Registrable Securities (such persons being collectively referred to herein as “Holders”) by written notice at least 20 days prior to the filing by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission of any other registration statement under the Act covering shares of Common Stock of the Company, except on Forms S-4 or S-8 (or similar successor form) or registration statements filed but not effective prior to the termination of this Offering, and upon the request of any such Holder within ten days after the date of such notice, include in any such registration statement such information as may be required to permit a public offering of the Holder’s Registrable Securities. Such Holders shall furnish information and indemnification as set forth in elsewhere in this Section 5.1. The Company may withdraw the registration at any time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the registration statement filed by the Company is pursuant to an underwritten offering of securities sold by the Company or on its behalf:

(A)           if the underwriter determines in good faith that marketing factors require the exclusion of some or all of the Registrable Securities, then the Holders may include in the registration statement no more than the maximum amount, if any, of such  Registrable Securities that the underwriter believes will not jeopardize the success of the offering (the securities so included to be apportioned pro rata among the Holders according to the total amount of securities requested to be included therein owned by the Holders or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed upon by such parties). The Holders’ right to have Registrable Securities included in the first registration statement filed by the Company shall be deferred to the second registration statement filed by the Company, which deferral may be continued to the third or subsequent registration statement so long as the registration statements are pursuant to underwritten offerings and the underwriter determines in good faith that marketing factors require exclusion of some or all of the Registrable Securities held by the Holders; and

(B)           each Holder of Registrable Securities shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter and provide such information regarding Holder that the underwriter shall reasonably request in connection with the preparation of the prospectus describing such offering, including completion of FINRA Questionnaires.

(c)                 Covenants with Respect to Registration. In connection with the registration in which the Registrable Securities are included, the Company covenants and agrees as follows:

(A)           The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective as soon as possible after filing, and shall furnish each Holder of Registrable Securities such number of prospectuses as shall reasonably be requested. In addition, the Company shall file such amendments as may be required from time to time, in order to keep any registration statement filed under this section effective as provided herein. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement filed by the Company hereunder until the date that the Registrable Securities may be sold without volume limitation under SEC Rule 144.

 

(B)           The Company shall pay all costs (excluding fees and expenses of Holder(s) counsel and any underwriting or selling commissions), fees and expenses in connection with the registration statement filed pursuant hereto including, without limitation, the Company’s legal and accounting fees, printing expenses, blue sky fees and expenses.

(C)           The Company will take all necessary action which may be required in qualifying or registering the Registrable Securities included in the registration statement, for offering and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such states as reasonably are requested by the Holder(s), provided that the Company shall not be obligated to execute or file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation to do business under the laws of any such jurisdiction.

(D)           The Company shall indemnify each Holder of Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to the registration statement and each person, if any, who controls such Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), against all loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (including reasonable expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any claim) to which any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, arising from such registration statement, except to the extent arising under paragraph (E) below.

(E)           Each Holder of Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to a registration statement, and their successors and assigns, shall severally, and not jointly, indemnify the Company, its officers and directors and any underwriter, and each person, if any, who controls the Company or such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, against all loss, claim, damage or reasonable expense or liability (including expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any claim) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, arising (I) from information furnished by or on behalf of such Holder, or their successors or assigns, for inclusion in such registration statement, or (II) as a result of use by the Holder of a registration statement that the Holder was advised to discontinue; provided, however, that in no event shall any indemnity hereunder exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.

(F)           The foregoing registration rights shall be contingent on the Holders furnishing the Company with such appropriate information (relating to the intended means of distribution of the Registrable Securities of such Holders) as the Company shall reasonably request.

 

6.1           Survival.  The representations and warranties set forth in Articles II and III hereof shall survive the Closing.  No investigation made by or on behalf of either party shall affect the representations and warranties made pursuant to this Agreement. No party makes any additional or implied representations other than those set forth herein.

The Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees, subject to any applicable state securities laws that the subscription and application hereunder are irrevocable, that the Purchaser is not entitled to cancel, terminate or revoke this Agreement and that this Agreement shall survive the death or disability of the Purchaser and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Purchaser and his heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and assigns.  If the Purchaser is more than one person, the obligations of the Purchaser hereunder shall be joint and several, and the agreements, representations, warranties, and acknowledgments herein contained shall be deemed to be made by and be binding upon each such person and his heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and assigns.

6.5           Captions. The table of contents and captions contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and are not part of this Agreement.

6.6           Amendments; Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company and the Purchasers holding a majority of the Securities subscribed for in the Offering or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waiver is sought (in the case of the Purchasers, such waiver shall be in writing and approved by a majority of the Purchasers). No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed or caused this Agreement to be executed by their signature as natural persons or by individuals by their duly authorized officers as of the __ day of ____________, 2011.
