Attn: Michael Braunold, Chief Executive Officer

Ladies and Gentlemen:

1.           Subscription.  The undersigned (the “Purchaser”), intending to be legally bound, hereby irrevocably agrees to purchase from SPO Medical Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the number of Units (as defined below) of the Company set forth on the signature page hereof at a purchase price of $30,000 per Unit.  This subscription is submitted to you in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions described in this Subscription Agreement and the Confidential Offering Memorandum, dated July 12, 2010, as may amended or supplemented from time to time, including all attachments, schedules and exhibits thereto (the “Memorandum,” and, together with this Subscription Agreement, the “Offering Documents”) and relating to the offering (the “Offering”) by the Company of up to 17 Units ($510,000) of the Company's securities with the right at the sole discretion of the Company and the Placement Agent to increase the maximum by an additional 17 Units ($510,000).  Each Unit (individually a "Unit" and collectively the "Units") is being offered at a price of $30,000 per Unit and consists of (i) 200,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock” or the “Shares”) and (ii) three-year Common Stock Purchase Warrants (“Investor Warrants”) to purchase up to 100,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price of $0.25 per share.  We sometimes refer to the Units, Shares, Warrant Shares and Investor Warrants collectively as the “Securities.”  The Units are being offered on an exclusive basis through Emerson Equity LLC (the “Placement Agent”) and its selected dealers, if any, on a “reasonable efforts, no minimum” basis.  The minimum subscription for a Purchaser in the Offering is one Unit ($30,000); provided, however, that Placement Agent and the Company, in their sole discretion, may waive such minimum subscription requirement from time to time.
 
2.           Payment.  The Purchaser encloses herewith a check payable to, or will immediately make a wire transfer payment to Signature Bank, Escrow Agent for SPO Medical Inc.” in the full amount of the purchase price of the Units being subscribed for.  Such funds will be held for the Purchaser's benefit, and will be returned promptly, without interest or offset if this Subscription Agreement is not accepted by the Company or the Offering is terminated pursuant to its terms or by the Company or the Placement Agent.  Together with a check for, or wire transfer of, the full purchase price, the Purchaser is delivering (i) a completed and executed Signature Page to this Subscription Agreement and (ii) an Accredited Investor Certification and Investor Profile, which is annexed hereto.

3.           Deposit of Funds.  All payments made as provided in Section 2 hereof shall be deposited by the Company or the Placement Agent as soon as practicable with the Escrow Agent, in a non-interest-bearing escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) until the earliest to occur of (a) the occurrence of a Closing (as defined below), (b) the rejection of such subscription, or (c) the termination of the Offering.  The Company and the Placement Agent may offer and sell the Units and conduct closings (each, a “Closing”) during an offering period commencing on the date of the Memorandum and continuing until September 7, 2010 (the “Initial Offering Period”), which period may be extended by the Company and the Placement Agent, in their mutual discretion to a date no later than November 9, 2010, unless terminated prior to such dates (the “Offering Period”).

 
 

 

4.           Acceptance of Subscription.  The Purchaser understands and agrees that the Company and/or the Placement Agent, each in their sole discretion, reserve the right to accept or reject this or any other subscription for Units, in whole or in part, notwithstanding prior receipt by the Purchaser of notice of acceptance of this or any other subscription.  The Company shall have no obligation hereunder until the Company shall execute and deliver to the Placement Agent (on behalf of the Purchaser) an executed copy of this Subscription Agreement.  If this subscription is rejected in whole, or the Offering is terminated, all funds received from the Purchaser will be returned without interest, penalty, expense or deduction, and this Subscription Agreement shall thereafter be of no further force or effect.  If this subscription is rejected in part, the funds for the rejected portion of this subscription will be returned without interest, penalty, expense or deduction, and this Subscription Agreement will continue in full force and effect to the extent this subscription was accepted.

(t)           The Purchaser has significant prior investment experience, including investments in high risk securities.  The Purchaser is knowledgeable about investments in small and thinly capitalized, companies.  The Purchaser has a sufficient net worth to sustain a loss of its entire investment in the Company in the event such a loss should occur.  The Purchaser's overall commitment to investments which are not readily marketable is not excessive in view of the Purchaser’s net worth and financial circumstances and the purchase of the Units will not cause such commitment to become excessive.  The investment is a suitable one for the Purchaser;

(u)           The Purchaser is satisfied that it has received adequate information with respect to all matters which it or the Advisors, if any, consider material to its decision to make this investment;

(v)           The Purchaser acknowledges that any estimates or forward-looking statements or projections included in the Offering Documents were prepared by the Company in good faith but that the attainment of any such projections, estimates or forward-looking statements cannot be guaranteed and will not be updated by the Company and should not be relied upon;

(z)           THE SECURITIES OFFERED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATES AND ARE BEING OFFERED AND SOLD IN RELIANCE ON EXEMPTIONS FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF SAID ACT AND SUCH LAWS.  THE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER SAID ACT AND SUCH LAWS PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM.  THE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION OR ANY OTHER REGULATORY AUTHORITY, NOR HAVE ANY OF THE FOREGOING AUTHORITIES PASSED UPON OR ENDORSED THE MERITS OF THIS OFFERING OR THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THE OFFERING DOCUMENTS.  ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS UNLAWFUL;

(aa)         The Purchaser understands that affiliates and/or employees of the Placement Agent (i) will receive the compensation set forth elsewhere in the Offering Documents in connection with the Offering and (ii) may, but are not obligated to, purchase Units in the Offering and all such Units purchased shall be counted toward the aggregate amount of the Offering.

(bb)         (For ERISA plans only)    The fiduciary of the ERISA plan represents that such fiduciary has been informed of and 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 Purchaser fiduciary or Plan (a) is responsible for the decision to invest in the Company; (b) is independent of the Company or any of its affiliates; (c) is qualified to make such investment decision; and (d) in making such decision, the Purchaser fiduciary or Plan has not relied primarily on any advice or recommendation of the Company or any of its affiliates;

The Purchaser represents that the amounts invested by it in the Company in the Offering were not and are not directly or indirectly derived from activities that contravene federal, state or international laws and regulations, including anti-money laundering laws and regulations. Federal regulations and Executive Orders administered by OFAC prohibit, among other things, the engagement in transactions with, and the provision of services to, certain foreign countries, territories, entities and individuals.  The lists of OFAC prohibited countries, territories, persons and entities can be found on the OFAC website at <http://www.treas.gov/ofac>.  In addition, the programs administered by OFAC (the “OFAC Programs”) prohibit dealing with individuals1 or entities in certain countries regardless of whether such individuals or entities appear on the OFAC lists;

A-8

 

(4)           The term “Trading Event” means the first date on which the Company’s common stock trades on a national securities exchange or the Over the Counter Bulletin Board.

(b)         Piggyback Registration.

(1)           The Company agrees that if, at any time, and from time to time, after the date hereof  the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) shall authorize the filing of a registration statement under the Securities Act (other than a registration statement on Form S-8, Form S-4 or any other form that does not include substantially the same information as would be required in a form for the general registration of securities) in connection with the proposed offer of any of its securities by it or any of its stockholders, the Company shall: (A) promptly notify each Holder that such registration statement will be filed and that the Registrable Securities then held by such Holder will be included in such registration statement at such Holder’s request; (B) cause such registration statement to cover all of such Registrable Securities issued to such Holder for which such Holder requests inclusion; (C) use reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective as soon as practicable; and (D) take all other reasonable action necessary under any Federal law or regulation of any governmental authority to permit all such Registrable Securities that have been issued to such Holder to be sold or otherwise disposed of, and maintain such compliance with each such Federal and regulation of any governmental authority for the period necessary for such Holder to promptly effect the proposed sale or other disposition.

(2)           Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 7(b), the Company may at any time, abandon or delay any registration commenced by the Company.  In the event of such an abandonment by the Company, the Company shall not be required to continue registration of shares requested by the Holder for inclusion, the Holder shall retain the right to request inclusion of shares as set forth above and the withdrawn registration shall not be deemed to be a registration request for the purposes of Section 7(b)(3) below.

(3)           Each Holder shall have the right to request inclusion of any of its Registrable Securities in a registration statement as described in this Section 7(b) up to two times.

(4)           Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth in this Section 7, if at any time the SEC takes the position that the offering of some or all of the Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement is not eligible to be made on a delayed or continuous basis under the provisions of Rule 415 under the Securities Act, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts (which shall include assistance from Placement Agent’s counsel) to advocate with the SEC that the offering contemplated by the Registration Statement is a valid secondary offering and not an offering “by or on behalf of the issuer” as defined in Rule 415.  In the event that, despite the Company’s commercially reasonable efforts and compliance with the terms of this Section 7(b), the SEC refuses to alter its position, the Company shall (i) remove from the Registration Statement such portion of the Registrable Securities and other securities (“Other Registrable Securities”) that were included in the initial Registration Statement filing  (“Cut-back Shares”) and/or (ii) agree to such restrictions and limitations on the registration and resale of the Registrable Securities as the SEC may require to assure the Company’s compliance with the requirements of Rule 415 (collectively, the “SEC Restrictions”).  Any cut-back imposed on the Holders pursuant to this Section 7(b)(4) shall be allocated among the Holders and the holders of Other Registrable Securities on a pro rata basis.  Any exclusion of Registrable Securities shall be made pro rata among the Holders in proportion to the number of Registrable Securities held by the Holders, with the Warrant Shares excluded first.  From and after the date the Company is able to effect the registration of such Cut-back Shares in accordance with any SEC Restrictions, all of the provisions of this Section 7 shall again be applicable to such Cut Back Shares.

(c)         Registration Procedures. Whenever required under this Section 7 to include Registrable Securities in a Company registration statement, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

(1)           Use reasonable efforts to (i) cause such registration statement to become effective, and (ii) cause such registration statement to remain effective until the earliest to occur of (A) such date as the Holders selling Registrable Securities have completed the distribution described in the registration statement and (B) such time that all of such Registrable Securities are no longer, by reason of Rule 144 under the Act, required to be registered for the sale thereof by such Holders.  The Company will also use its reasonable efforts to, during the period that such registration statement is required to be maintained hereunder, file such post-effective amendments and supplements thereto as may be required by the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder or otherwise to ensure that the registration statement does not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading; provided, however, that if applicable rules under the Securities Act governing the obligation to file a post-effective amendment permits, in lieu of filing a post-effective amendment that (i) includes any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act or (ii) reflects facts or events representing a material or fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement, the Company may incorporate by reference information required to be included in (i) and (ii) above to the extent such information is contained in periodic reports filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act in the registration statement. In the event that the Company becomes qualified for the use of Form S-3 or any successor form at a time when any registration statement on any other Form which includes Registrable Securities is required to be maintained hereunder, the Company shall, upon the request of any selling Holder, subject to Section 7(d), (i) as expeditiously as reasonably possible, use reasonable efforts to cause a Short-Form Registration covering such Registrable Securities to become effective and (ii) comply with each of the other requirements of this Section 7(c) which may applicable thereto. Upon the effectiveness of such Short-Form Registration, the Company shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder to keep in effect the registration statement which initially covered the Registrable Securities included in such Short-Form Registration.

(2)          Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement, and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement, as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement.

(3)           Make available for inspection upon reasonable notice during the Company’s regular business hours by each selling Holder, any underwriter participating in any distribution pursuant to such registration statement, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by such selling Holder or underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such selling Holder, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration statement, subject to the execution of appropriate confidentiality agreements.

(4)           Furnish to the selling Holders such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus as amended or supplemented from time to time, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them.

 
A-10

 

(5)           Use reasonable efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other federal or state securities laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the selling Holders; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act.

(6)           In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter of such offering.  Each Holder participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement.

(7)           Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, (i) when the registration statement or any post-effective amendment and supplement thereto has become effective; (ii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order or the initiation of proceedings for that purpose (in which event the Company shall make every effort to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending effectiveness of the registration statement at the earliest possible time or prevent the entry thereof); (iii) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose; and (iv) of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing (and each Holder agrees to suspend any trading under the Registration Statement until such condition is abated).

(8)           Cause all such Registrable Securities registered hereunder to be listed on each securities exchange or quotation service on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed or quoted or, if no such similar securities are listed or quoted on a securities exchange or quotation service, apply for qualification and use best efforts to qualify such Registrable Securities for inclusion on a national securities exchange or the OTCBB.

(9)           Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereunder and CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration.

(10)         Cooperate with the selling Holders and the managing underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing the Registrable Securities to be sold, which certificates will not bear any restrictive legends; and enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the managing underwriters, if any, shall request at least two business days prior to any sale of the Registrable Securities to the underwriters.

(d)         Furnish Information.  It shall be a condition precedent to the obligation of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 7 with respect to the Registrable Securities of any Holder that such Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding the Holder, the Registrable Securities held by the Holder, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be reasonably required by the Company to effect the registration of such Holder's Registrable Securities.

(e)         Registration Expenses.  The Company shall bear and pay all Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration, filing or qualification of Registrable Securities, and shall pay the fees and expenses of one counsel to the Holders to be designated by the Placement Agent (not to exceed $3,000) with respect to reviewing the registration statement relating to such registrations pursuant to Section 7 for each Holder, but excluding underwriting discounts and commissions relating to Registrable Securities and excluding any professional fees or costs of accounting, financial or legal advisors  to any of the Holders (except as provided above).

 
A-11

 

(f)          Underwriting Requirements.  In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the Company's capital stock, the Company shall not be required under Section 7(b) to include any of the Holders' Registrable Securities in such underwriting unless they accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by it (or by other persons entitled to select the underwriters), and then only in such quantity as the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company.  If the total amount of securities, including Registrable Securities, requested by stockholders to be included in such offering exceeds the amount of securities sold other than by the Company that the underwriters determine in their sole discretion is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such securities, including Registrable Securities, which the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering (the securities so included to be apportioned pro rata among the selling Holders according to the total amount of securities entitled to be included therein owned by each selling Holder or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by such selling Holders).  For purposes of the preceding parenthetical concerning apportionment, for any selling Holder who is a holder of Registrable Securities and is a partnership or corporation, the partners, retired partners and stockholders of such Holder, or the estates and family members of any such partners and retired partners and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing persons shall be deemed to be a single “selling Holder”, and any pro-rata reduction with respect to such “selling Holder” shall be based upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying registration rights owned by all entities and individuals included in such “selling Holder”, as defined in this sentence.

(g)         Delay of Registration.  No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 7.

(h)         Indemnification.  In the event that any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under this Section 7:

(1)           To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for such Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a “Violation”):  (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act, and the Company will pay to each such Holder, underwriter or controlling person, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7(h)(1) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by any such Holder, underwriter or controlling person or a violation of any provision of the Subscription Agreement by a Holder.

 
A-12

 

(2)           To the extent permitted by law, each Holder will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, any underwriter, any other Holder selling securities in such registration statement and any controlling person of any such underwriter or other Holder, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become subject, under the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration or a violation of any provision of the Subscription Agreement by a Holder; and each such Holder will pay, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 7(h)(2), in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7(h)(2) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, further, that, in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 7(h)(2) exceed the greater of the cash value of the (i) gross proceeds from the offering received by such Holder or (ii) such Holder’s investment pursuant to this Subscription Agreement as set forth on the signature page attached hereto.

(3)           Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7(h) of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 7(h), deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the indemnifying party and approved by the indemnified party (whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, that an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties which may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding.  The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 7(h), but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 7(h).

(4)           If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

 
A-13

 

(5)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control.

(6)           The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 7(h) shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement under this Section 7, and otherwise.

(i)          Reports Under Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form S-3, the Company agrees to:

(1)           make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, at all times while the Registrable Securities are outstanding;

(2)           file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and

(3)           furnish to any Holder, so long as the Holder owns any Registrable Securities, forthwith upon request such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the SEC which permits the selling of any such securities without registration or pursuant to such form.

(j)          Permitted Transferees.  The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities granted to the Holders by the Company under this Section 7 may be assigned in full by a Holder in connection with a transfer by such Holder of its Registrable Securities if: (a) such Holder gives prior written notice to the Company; (b) such transferee agrees to comply with the terms and provisions of the Subscription Agreement; (c) such transfer is otherwise in compliance with the Subscription Agreement, (d) such transfer is otherwise effected in accordance with applicable securities laws and (e) such Holder transfers at least 51% of its shares of Registrable Securities to the transferee.  Except as specifically permitted by this Section 7(j), the rights of a Holder with respect to Registrable Securities as set out herein shall not be transferable to any other person, and any attempted transfer shall cause all rights of such Holder therein to be forfeited.

(k)         Termination of Registration Rights  The right of any Holder to request inclusion in any registration pursuant to Section 7 shall terminate if all shares of Registrable Securities held by such Holder may immediately be sold under Rule 144 without restriction.

8.           Indemnification.  The Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Placement Agent, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, control persons and affiliates from and against all losses, liabilities, claims, damages, costs, fees and expenses whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any and all expenses incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation commenced or threatened) based upon or arising out of any actual or alleged false acknowledgment, representation or warranty, or misrepresentation or omission to state a material fact, or breach by the Purchaser of any covenant or agreement made by the Purchaser herein or in any other document delivered in connection with this Subscription Agreement.

 
A-14

 

9.           Irrevocability; Binding Effect.  The Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that the subscription hereunder is irrevocable by the Purchaser, except as required by applicable law, and that this Subscription Agreement shall survive the death or disability of the Purchaser and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted 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 shall be deemed to be made by and be binding upon each such person and such person's heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns.

10.         Modification.  Any of the terms or provisions of this Subscription Agreement shall not be modified or waived except by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom any such modification or waiver is sought.
 
11.         Immaterial Modifications to the Transaction Documents.  The Company may, at any time prior to the First Closing, amend the Transaction Documents if necessary to clarify any provision therein, without first providing notice or obtaining prior consent of the Purchaser, if, and only if, such modification is not material in any respect.
 
12.         Notices.  Any notice or other communication required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, or delivered against receipt to the party to whom it is to be given (a) if to the Company, at the address set forth above, or (b) if to the Purchaser, at the address set forth on the signature page hereof (or, in either case, to such other address as the party shall have furnished in writing in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12).  Any notice or other communication given by certified mail shall be deemed given at the time of certification thereof, except for a notice changing a party's address which shall be deemed given at the time of receipt thereof.

13.         Assignability.  This Subscription Agreement and the rights, interests and obligations hereunder are not transferable or assignable by the Purchaser and the transfer or assignment of the Units shall be made only in accordance with all applicable laws.

14.         Applicable Law.  This Subscription Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of New York as applied to agreements among New York residents entered into and to be performed entirely within New York.  Each of the parties hereto (1) agree that any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Subscription Agreement shall be instituted exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New York County, New York, (2) waive any objection which they may have now or hereafter to the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding, and (3) irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding.  Each of the parties hereto further agrees to accept and acknowledge service of any and all process which may be served in any such suit, action or proceeding in such courts and agree that service of process upon it mailed by certified mail to its address shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it, in any such suit, action or proceeding.  THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

15.         Blue Sky Qualification.  The purchase of Units under this Subscription Agreement is expressly conditioned upon the exemption from qualification of the offer and sale of the Units from applicable federal and state securities laws.  The Company shall not be required to qualify this transaction under the securities laws of any jurisdiction and, should qualification be necessary, the Company shall be released from any and all obligations to maintain its offer, and may rescind any sale contracted, in the jurisdiction.

 
A-15

 

16.         Use of Pronouns.  All pronouns and any variations thereof used herein shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular or plural as the identity of the person or persons referred to may require.

17.         Confidentiality.  The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that any information or data the Purchaser has acquired from or about the Company, not otherwise properly in the public domain, was received in confidence (the “Confidential Information”).  Any distribution of the Confidential Information to any person other than the Purchaser named above, in whole or in part, or the reproduction of the Confidential Information, or the divulgence of any of its contents (other than to the Purchaser’s tax and financial advisers, attorneys and accountants, who will likewise be required to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information) is unauthorized, except that any Purchaser (and each employee, representative, or other agent of such Purchaser) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitations of any kind (except as provided in the next sentence) the tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to the Purchaser relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.  Any such disclosure of the tax treatment, tax structure and other tax-related materials shall not be made for the purpose of offering to sell the Units offered hereby or soliciting an offer to purchase any such securities.  Except as provided above with respect to tax matters, the above named Purchaser agrees not to divulge, communicate or disclose, except as may be required by law or for the performance of this Subscription Agreement, or use to the detriment of the Company or for the benefit of any other person or persons, or misuse in any way, any Confidential Information of the Company, including any scientific, technical, trade or business secrets of the Company and any scientific, technical, trade or business materials that are treated by the Company as confidential or proprietary, including, but not limited to, ideas, discoveries, inventions, developments and improvements belonging to the Company and confidential information obtained by or given to the Company about or belonging to third parties.

18.         Most Favored Nations Adjustment.  For a period commencing on the initial Closing and terminating on the one year anniversary of the initial Closing (the “Adjustment Period”), in the event the Company issues or grants any shares of Common Stock or any warrants or other securities convertible, exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock (hereinafter “Common Stock Equivalents”) pursuant to which shares of Common Stock may be acquired at a price less than $0.15 per share (other than Exempt Issuances (as described below)), then the Company shall promptly issue additional shares of Common Stock to the Purchaser in an amount sufficient that the subscription price paid hereunder, when divided by the total number of shares issued and then held by such Purchaser (shares included in the purchased Unit plus the additional shares issued under this provision), will result in an actual price per share of Common Stock equal to such lower price (this is intended to be a “full ratchet” adjustment). For example, if a Purchaser purchases 1 Unit in the Offering (aggregating 200,000 shares of Common Stock, excluding shares of Common Stock underlying Warrants) for a purchase price of $30,000 (equals $0.15 per share of Common Stock) and then the Company issues additional shares of Common Stock at $0.10 per share during the Adjustment Period, the Company will provide notice to the Purchaser and to the extent the Purchaser still owns such securities, promptly issue an additional 100,000 shares of Common Stock to the Purchaser.  Such adjustments shall be made successively whenever such an issuance is made during the Adjustment Period and shall be made with respect to shares of Common Stock still owned by the Purchaser.  This clause shall not apply to an “Exempt Issuance” which for purposes hereof shall mean (i) the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents to employees, officers or directors of, or consultants or advisors or any other service providers to the Company or any subsidiary; (ii) Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents issued or issuable pursuant to any rights or agreements, options, warrants or convertible securities outstanding as of the initial closing of the Offering (so long as the conversion or exercise price of such securities is not lowered to a price below $0.15 other than in connection with any stock dividend, stock split or similar transaction, and so long as the number of shares of Common Stock underlying such securities is not otherwise increased other than in connection with any stock dividend, stock split or similar transaction); (iii) Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents issued or issuable for consideration other than cash pursuant to a merger, consolidation, strategic alliance, acquisition or similar business combination; (iv) Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents issued in connection with bona fide strategic or OEM license agreements or other partnering arrangements with a third party (whether or not affiliated with the Company as of the date hereof)  so long as such issuances are not for the sole purpose of raising capital; (v) Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents issued in settlement or extension of or otherwise in connection with any outstanding debt of the Company existing as of the initial closing of the Offering; (vi) Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents issued or issuable in connection with any stock split, stock dividend, distribution or recapitalization by the Company; (vii) Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents issued or issuable pursuant to any equipment loan or leasing arrangement, real property leasing arrangement, or debt financing from a bank or similar financial or lending institution and (viii) Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents issued or issuable to Purchasers, the Placement Agent or any of their respective affiliates in connection with the Offering

 
A-16

 

19.         Miscellaneous.

(a)           The Offering Documents, together with the Transaction Documents, constitute the entire agreement between the Purchaser and the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior oral or written agreements and understandings, if any, relating to the subject matter hereof.

(b)           The representations and warranties of the Company and the Purchaser made in this Subscription Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and delivery of the Units hereunder.

(c)           Each of the parties hereto shall pay its own fees and expenses (including the fees of any attorneys, accountants, appraisers or others engaged by such party) in connection with this Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated.

(d)           This Subscription Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

(e)           Each provision of this Subscription Agreement shall be considered separable and, if for any reason any provision or provisions hereof are determined to be invalid or contrary to applicable law, such invalidity or illegality shall not impair the operation of or affect the remaining portions of this Subscription Agreement.

(f)           Paragraph titles are for descriptive purposes only and shall not control or alter the meaning of this Subscription Agreement as set forth in the text.

(g)           The Purchaser understands and acknowledges that there may be multiple Closings for the Offering.
