RECITAL The Subscriber desires to lend to the Corporation and the Corporation desires to borrow from the Subscriber certain funds pursuant to a convertible note (the "Convertible Note") in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. AGREEMENT NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained in this Agreement, the Corporation and the Subscriber hereby agree as follows: 1. SUBSCRIPTION. The Subscriber shall lend to the Corporation $56,250.00 in consideration of the Convertible Note. The Convertible Note provides, among other things, that it may be converted into units (the "Units") as described herein and in the Convertible Note. Each Unit consists of 75,000 shares of common stock of the Corporation at a price of $0.745 per share and 37,500 Warrants to purchase common stock of the Corporation at $0.01 per Warrant representing a total conversion price of $56,250.00 per Unit. Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of common stock of the Corporation at a price of $1.25 per share at any time on or before December 31, 2005. Except as required by law, subsequent to the delivery of this Agreement, the subscription enclosed hereby is irrevocable. 2. LOAN AMOUNT. The Subscriber tenders herewith the full amount of the loan in the form of a certified check or bank draft payable to Medallion Capital Corp, as agent for the Corporation, in trust to be held pending the closing of this convertible loan transaction (the "Closing") or termination of this Agreement. In the event this Agreement is not accepted by the Corporation or terminated for any other reason the full amount received by Medallion Capital Corp. will be returned to the Subscriber without interest. 3. CLOSING. Closing shall take place on the acceptance of this Agreement by the Corporation and Medallion Capital Corp. will release funds to the Corporation on receipt of the Convertible Note duly executed by the Corporation for delivery to the Subscriber. 4. REPRESENTATIONS BY SUBSCRIBER. The Subscriber represents and warrants to the Corporation as follows: (a) He is making the loan and acquiring the Convertible Note for his own account as principal, for investment and not with a view to resale or distribution. Immediately prior to making the loan and receiving the Convertible Note and on conversion of the Convertible Note to Units: 1 (i) he is an "accredited investor" as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and he has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that he is capable of evaluating the merits and risks involved in making the loan and purchasing the Units; and (ii) he is able to bear the economic risk of making the loan and purchasing the Units upon conversion (i.e., at the time of making the loan under the Convertible Note he could afford a complete loss without having his standard of living materially affected thereby). (b) He has been informed as to, and is familiar with, the business activities of the Corporation, and has had an opportunity and proceeded, or waived the opportunity, to review the books and records of the Corporation and to ask questions of, and receive answers from, appropriate representatives of the Corporation concerning the Corporation and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, that he deems necessary. (c) He acknowledges receipt of the Corporation's draft Registration Statement dated March 12, 2004 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) which is provided for informational purposes only and which is subject to change. He acknowledges that no offer or sale of securities is made pursuant to the draft Registration Statement and that the SEC has provided substantial comments to the Corporation on the current draft registration statement. He fully understands that this offering has not been registered under the Securities Act and is a private placement, in reliance upon exemptions under the Securities Act pursuant to Rule 506 of regulation D, accordingly, to the extent that he is not supplied with the information which would have been contained in an effective registration statement, filed under the Securities Act, he must rely on his own access to such information. (d) He has had an opportunity to obtain and has obtained a general and complete understanding satisfactory to him of the Corporation, its operations, finances, and manner of doing business sufficient to permit him to evaluate (i) the Corporation and its prospects and (ii) the risks and merits of making the loan pursuant to the Convertible Note. (e) He (i) recognizes that making the loan pursuant to the Convertible Note involves risk, (ii) has carefully considered whether making the loan pursuant to the Convertible Note is appropriate for him, and (iii) has obtained such individual financial, tax and legal advice as he deems necessary or appropriate to fully understand the risks involved and to evaluate a loan and investment in the Corporation. (f) He recognizes that he must bear the economic risk involved in making the loan pursuant to the Convertible Note for an indefinite period of time because, among other reasons, the common shares forming part of the Units and the common shares issued in exercise of the Warrants and the Warrants themselves have not been registered under the Securities Act and therefore cannot be sold, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of unless (i) they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or (ii) an exemption from such registration is available and an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Corporation that the transfer is not in violation of any federal securities act or state securities law is provided to the Corporation. The Corporation has no obligation to register the common shares or the Warrants purchased upon conversion of the Convertible Note. 2 (g) All information which he has provided to the Corporation, whether provided by him directly or indirectly, concerning himself, his financial position, and his knowledge of financial and business matters is correct and complete as of the date of this Agreement. He will notify the Corporation immediately if, subsequent to the date of this Agreement, there is any material change in any information provided to the Corporation by him. (h) He recognizes that no federal or state agency has passed upon the offering of the Convertible Notes or the Units to him or to any other person or made any finding or determination regarding the fairness of such offering. (i) He understands that neither the Corporation nor any associates or affiliates thereof are guaranteeing the success of or any return from the Corporation. (j) He recognizes that there is no current market for the Corporation's common stock; that there can be no assurances that such a market will exist any time in the future and accordingly he may not be able to sell or dispose of any of the common shares received on the conversion of the Convertible Note or exercise of the Warrants even if he had held them for a number of years; that his right to transfer the common shares will be restricted by federal and state securities laws and a legend to this effect will be placed on the certificates representing the common shares; that such laws impose strict limitations upon such transfer; and that the Corporation is under no obligation to register his common shares in connection with the subsequent transfer thereof by him or to aid him in obtaining an exemption from such registration. (l) He will cooperate with the Corporation in connection with any filing requirements under the Securities Act and will provide such information or documentation as may be required. 5. SHARES TO BE LEGENDED. A restrictive legend in substantially the following form shall be contained on each certificate evidencing any of the common shares issued upon conversion of the Convertible Note or received on exercise of the Warrants: The shares represented by this Certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") or under any applicable state securities laws (the "State Laws"). The shares have been acquired for investment purposes and may not be sold, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of except upon compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable State Laws, or pursuant to applicable exemptions from such registration requirements. Any transfer of the common shares on the books and records of the Corporation will only be affected in accordance with such legend. 6. APPLICABLE LAW. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the principles of conflict of laws. The offering of the Convertible Notes is made by the Corporation pursuant to an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933. 3 7. BINDING EFFECT. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Corporation and the Subscriber and their successors, heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives and assigns. 8. ASSIGNMENTS. This Agreement may not be assigned by any of the parties hereto. 9. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement, including exhibits, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior understandings, oral or written. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Convertible Note, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, the terms of the Convertible Note shall be controlling. 10.
