WITTNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Company is currently offering (the “Offering”) “Units” (each Unit consists of one share of its Common Stock, par value $.001 per share (each, a “Share”) and one common stock purchase warrant, with an exercise price of US$3.00 per share (each, a “Warrant”)) to investors, at a purchase price of US$1.50 per Unit, to be purchased on or before August 31, 2007, which date may be extended once by the Company for a period of no more than 60 days; and
WHEREAS, the Purchaser would like to purchase from the Company the number of Units set forth on the signature pages hereof, for the aggregate purchase price set forth thereon.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration for the mutual promises and covenants set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follow:
1. Subscription. The Purchaser hereby agrees to buy the number of Units set forth on the signature pages of this Agreement, for the aggregate purchase price also set forth on such signature pages. This Agreement incorporates all available information regarding the Company as set forth in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) preceding the date of this Agreement (the “Company Filings”). The Shares shall have all of the rights and privileges as set forth in the Company Filings and the Warrants shall have all of the rights and privileges as set forth in the Form of Warrant set forth on Exhibit 1 hereto. This Offering is only open to Accredited Investors, as such term is described in Rule 501 of Regulation D, promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended from time to time (the “Securities Act”). Related persons and/or affiliates of the Company may participate in the Offering, and any such subscriptions shall be on the same terms as offered to other potential Purchasers.
2. Payment. Along with returning the requested signature pages, the Purchaser encloses herewith a check payable to the Company or will immediately make a wire transfer payment to “Signature Bank, Escrow Agent for Vyteris, Inc.,” all as more specifically set forth on the instruction page directly preceding this Agreement in the Subscription Package, in the full amount of the purchase price for the Units set forth on the signature pages hereto. Such funds will be held for the Purchaser’s benefit and will be promptly returned, without interest or offset, if this Agreement is not accepted by the Company, or if this Agreement is otherwise terminated by the Company.
3. Deposit of Funds. All payments made as provided in Section 2 hereof shall be deposited by the Company as soon as practicable with Signature Bank, as escrow agent (“Escrow Agent”). Purchaser should consult the instructions set forth on the page entitled “Instructions to Subscribe,” included with this Agreement for instructions as to which escrow account Purchaser’s payment shall be deposited. If the Company rejects a Purchaser’s subscription (which decision is in the sole discretion of the Company), either in whole or in part, the rejected subscription funds or the rejected portion thereof will be returned promptly to the Purchaser without interest thereon or deduction therefrom.
4. Acceptance of Subscription. The Purchaser understands and agrees that the Company in its sole discretion reserves 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 on this or any other subscription. The Company shall have no obligation hereunder until the Company shall execute and deliver to the Purchaser an executed copy of this Subscription Agreement. If Purchaser’s 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.

(b) Organization and Qualification. The Company and each of its subsidiaries is an entity duly incorporated or otherwise organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization (as applicable), with the requisite power and authority to own and use its properties and assets and to carry on its business as currently conducted. Neither the Company nor any subsidiary is in violation or default of any of the provisions of its respective certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents. Each of the Company and the subsidiaries is duly qualified to conduct business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, could not have or reasonably be expected to result in (i) a material adverse effect on the legality, validity or enforceability of any of this Agreement and the Warrant (each, a “Transaction Document” and collectively, the “Transaction Documents”), (ii) a material adverse effect on the results of operations, assets, business, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and the subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (iii) a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to perform in any material respect on a timely basis its obligations under any Transaction Document (any of (i), (ii) or (iii), a “material adverse effect on the Company’s business or operations”) and no proceeding has been instituted in any such jurisdiction revoking, limiting or curtailing or seeking to revoke, limit or curtail such power and authority or qualification.

Each Transaction Document has been (or upon delivery will have been) duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms except (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.

As of their respective dates, the Company Filings complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, as applicable, and none of the Company Filings, when filed, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The financial statements of the Company included in the Company Filings comply in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the rules and regulations of the Commission with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (“GAAP”), except as may be otherwise specified in such financial statements or the notes thereto and except that unaudited financial statements may not contain all footnotes required by GAAP, and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as of and for the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal, immaterial, year-end audit adjustments.
(h) Material Changes. Since the date of the latest audited financial statements included within the Company Filings, except as specifically disclosed in a subsequent Company Filing filed prior to the date hereof, (i) there has been no event, occurrence or development that has had or that could reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s business or operations, (ii) the Company has not incurred any liabilities (contingent or otherwise) other than (A) trade payables and accrued expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and (B) liabilities not required to be reflected in the Company’s financial statements pursuant to GAAP or disclosed in filings made with the Commission, (iii) the Company has not altered its method of accounting, (iv) the Company has not declared or made any dividend or distribution of cash or other property to its stockholders or purchased, redeemed or made any agreements to purchase or redeem any shares of its capital stock and (v) the Company has not issued any equity securities to any officer, director or Affiliate, except pursuant to existing Company stock option plans.

(k) Private Placement. Assuming the accuracy of the Purchasers’ representations and warranties set forth in Article 6 hereof, no registration under the Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of the Securities by the Company to the Purchasers as contemplated hereby.

The Purchaser understands that the offering and sale of the Shares or shares underlying the Warrants offered hereby is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act, by virtue of Section 4(2) thereof and the provisions of Regulation D promulgated thereunder, based, in part, upon the representations and warranties of the Purchaser contained herein.
6
(b) Due Organization, etc. If the Purchaser is a company, it is a duly organized legal entity, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its organization and has the requisite company power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. If the Purchaser is a partnership, syndicate or other form of unincorporated organization, the Purchaser has the necessary legal capacity and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to observe and perform its covenants and obligations hereunder and has obtained all necessary approvals in respect thereof. If the Purchaser is a natural person, the Purchaser has obtained the age of majority and has the legal capacity and competence to execute this Agreement and to take all actions required pursuant thereto. This Subscription Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Purchaser, and the execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement will not violate or be in conflict with any order, judgment, injunction agreement or other controlling instrument to which such Purchaser is a party or by which it is bound.
(c) Due Execution and Delivery. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Purchaser and is the valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, moratorium, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws generally affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights, specific performance, injunctive or other equitable remedies.
(d) Private Placement. In reliance upon the Purchasers’ representations and warranties in this Agreement (including attachments hereto), neither the offering nor the sale of the Securities has been registered under the Act or any state securities laws or regulations. The Purchaser was not offered or sold the Securities, directly or indirectly, by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising, including the following: (i) any advertisement, article, notice, or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine, or similar medium or broadcast over television or radio; or (ii) to the knowledge of the Purchaser, any seminar or meeting whose attendees had been invited by any general advertising. There is no public market for the Securities and the Company is under no obligation to register the Securities on the Purchaser’s behalf or to assist the Purchaser in complying with any exemption from registration. The Purchaser has not received or been provided with a prospectus, offering memorandum or sales or advertising literature and the Purchaser’s decision to purchase the Securities was not based upon and the Purchaser has not relied upon any verbal or written representations as to fact made by the Company or any other person but that the Purchaser’s decision was based upon the information about the Company that is publicly available.
(e) Information Received. The Purchaser and its attorney, accountant, purchaser representative and/or tax advisor, if any (collectively, the “Advisors”), have receive all documents requested by them and have had access through the EDGAR system to true and complete copies of the Company’s most recent Annual Report of Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 (“Most Recent 10-KSB”), the Company’s most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB (“Most Recent 10-QSB”), and all other Company Filings, have carefully reviewed them and understand the information contained therein, prior to the execution of this Subscription Agreement. Specifically, but not by way of limitation, the Purchaser acknowledges that it has reviewed the description of business, risk factors and financial statements of the Company set forth in the Most Recent 10-KSB and Most Recent 10-QSB and has evaluated such matters in considering whether to make an investment in the Offering and acknowledges that the risk factors therein may materially adversely affect the Company’s results of operations and future prospects. All documents, records and books pertaining to the investment in the Units have been made available for inspection by the Purchaser and its Advisors, if any (other than Company Filings to which it has had access through EDGAR). The Purchaser and its Advisors, if any, have had a reasonable opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from a person or persons acting on behalf of the Company concerning the offering of the Units and the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the Company, and all such questions have been answered by the Company in writing to the full satisfaction of the Purchaser and its Advisors. In evaluating the suitability of any investment in the Company, the Purchaser has not relied upon any representation or information (oral or written) other than the Company Filings.
7
(f) No Broker. The Purchaser has taken no action which would give rise to any claim by any person or entity for brokerage commissions, finders’ fees or the like relating to the Offering (other than finders’ fees to be paid by the Company to Wolverine International Holdings Ltd.).
(g) Acquisition for Own Account, etc. The Purchaser is acquiring the Units, and any capital stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, for the Purchaser’s own account, for investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution of such Units or any part thereof. The Purchaser has no formal or informal arrangement or agreement with any person or entity to sell or transfer all or any part of the Shares or the Warrants, and the Purchaser has no plans to enter into any such agreement or arrangement. The Purchaser (i) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business affairs that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks involved in purchasing the Units and to make an informed investment decision with respect thereto, (ii) is able to bear the economic risks (including, a complete loss) involved in purchasing the Units and has the adequate means of providing for its current needs and contingencies, and (iii) has had the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the Company and persons acting on the Company’s behalf concerning the Company’s business, management, and financial affairs and the terms and conditions of the Units. The Purchaser is not relying on the Company or any of its employees or agents or officers or directors with respect to the legal, tax, economic and related considerations of any investment in the Units and has only relied on the advice of, or has consulted with its own Advisors. The Purchaser’s jurisdiction of residence is set forth on the signature pages hereto.
(h) High Risk Investment. The purchase of the Units represents a high risk investment, and the Purchaser is able to bear the burden of losing its investment. The Purchaser must bear these risks indefinitely because none of the Shares, the Warrants or shares of Company stock underlying the Warrants may not be sold, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration requirement is available (pursuant to an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Company in its sole discretion to that effect). Legends will be placed on the Shares and Warrants to that effect and appropriate notations thereof will be made in the Company’s stock ledger. Stop transfer instructions will also be placed with the Company’s transfer agent. Purchaser acknowledges that it can bear the risk of holding these securities for an indefinite period of time. The Purchaser is knowledgeable about investment considerations in public companies, including small cap companies. The Purchaser’s overall commitment to not readily marketable investments is not excessive in view of Purchaser’s net worth and financial circumstances, taking into accounting the investment being made hereby. This investment is suitable for the Purchaser.
8
(i) Accredited Investor. The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act. The jurisdiction referred to under “Address” on the signature pages attached hereto is the Purchaser’s residence or place of business and is not created or used solely for the purpose of acquiring the Units and the Purchaser is not purchasing the Units for the account or benefit of any person in any jurisdiction other than such jurisdiction.
(j) Legend. The following legend referring to the foregoing restrictions will be set forth on certificates representing the Securities, as set forth below:

(k) Funds. The Purchaser has taken such measures as are required by law to assure that the funds used to pay to the Company the purchase price as set forth on the signature pages hereto are derived: (i) from transactions that do not violate United States law nor, to the extent such funds originate outside the United States, do not violate the laws of the jurisdiction in which they originated; and (ii) from permissible sources under United States law and to the extent such funds originate outside the United States, under the laws of the jurisdiction in which they originated.
9
(l) Money Laundering, etc. To the best of the Purchaser’s knowledge, neither the Purchaser nor any person providing funds to the Purchaser: (i) is under investigation by any governmental authority for, or has been charged with, or convicted of, money laundering, drug trafficking, terrorist related activities, any crimes which in the United States would be predicate crimes to money laundering, or any violation of any Anti-Money Laundering Laws (as hereinafter defined); (ii) has been assessed civil or criminal penalties under any Anti-Money Laundering Laws; or (iii) has had any of its funds seized or forfeited in any action under any Anti-Money Laundering Laws.

Sections 1956 and 1957.

If the Purchaser is a Financial Institution, it has established and is in compliance with all procedures required by the Purchaser and the Bank Secrecy Act.
(n) Accredited Investor Questionnaire. The Purchaser has accurately and truthfully completed the Investor Questionnaire attached hereto as Exhibit 6(n).
(o) No Short Selling. The Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its affiliates, hereby covenants and agrees not to, directly or indirectly, offer to “short sell,” contract to “short sell” or otherwise “short sell” the securities of the Company, including, without limitation, shares of Common Stock that will be received as a result of the exercise of the Warrants or the shares offered hereunder.
(p) Accuracy of Information. Any information the Purchaser has furnished in the past or is furnishing herewith to the Company is complete and accurate and may be relied upon by the Company in determining the availability of an exemption from registration under federal and state securities laws in connection with this Offering. The Purchaser agrees to notify and supply corrective information to the Company immediately upon the occurrence of any change therein occurring prior to the Company’s issuance of the Units.
(q) Forward Looking Statements. The Purchaser acknowledges that any estimates or forward looking statements or projections included in any Company Filings or otherwise regarding the Company were prepared by the Company in good faith, but that the attainment of any such projections, estimates or forward-looking statements cannot be guaranteed by the Company and may not be relied upon by the Purchaser.
(r) Further Assurances. Within five (5) days of receipt of a request from the Company, the Purchaser will execute and deliver any documents, provide any information and take any actions necessary to comply with any and all laws, rules and regulations to which the Company is subject.
10
(s) No Regulatory Approval. THE SECURITIES OFFERED HEREBY HAVE NOT BE REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATES AND ARE BEING OFFERED AND SOLD IN RELIANCE UPON EXEMPTIONS THEREFROM. THE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRASFER AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER SAID ACT AND SUCH LAWS PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEEFROM. THE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE COMMISSION, ANY STATE REGULATORY AUTHORITY OR OTHER GOVERNING BODY, NOR HAVE ANY OF THE FOREGOING AUTHORITIES PASSED UPON OR ENDORSED THE MERITS OF THIS OFFERING OR THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF ANY COMPANY PUBLIC DISCLOSURES. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS UNLAWFUL.
