FORM OF SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

The undersigned (the “Investor”) agrees to subscribe for the number of shares
(the “Shares”) of common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”),
of Know Labs, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), indicated in the
attached Annex 1, at a price of Twenty Five Cents ($0.25) per Share, for the
total consideration set forth therein. Investor will also receive, for no
additional consideration, common stock purchase warrants to purchase an amount
equal to Fifty Percent (50%) of the number of shares of Common Stock, in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Warrants”). The Shares
and the Warrants are referred to herein as the “Securities.”

1.   Investor’s Representations, Warranties, and Covenants

As a condition to the Investor’s purchase of the Securities, the Investor
represents, warrants, acknowledges, and agrees that the following are true as of
the date first written below:

1.1   Investment Intent. The Investor is acquiring the Securities solely for
investment for such Investor’s own account and has no agreement, understanding
or arrangement to subdivide, sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of all
or any part of such Securities to any other person. The Investor understands
that the Securities are not being registered under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the “Securities Act”), or applicable state securities laws in
reliance upon exemptions from registration, and the Securities cannot be sold,
transferred, or otherwise disposed of by the Investor unless they are
subsequently registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities
laws or an exemption from such registration is available at the time of the
desired sale. Therefore, the Investor must bear the economic risk of an
investment in such Securities for an indefinite period. The Investor has no
right to require registration of such Securities under federal or state
securities laws. The Investor further confirms that the Investor understands
that the reliance by the Company on such exemptions is predicated in part on the
truth and accuracy of the statements by the Investor in this Agreement.

1.2   Compliance with Securities Laws. The Investor understands that the
Securities may be disposed of only pursuant to an effective registration
statement under, and in compliance with the requirements of, the Securities Act,
or pursuant to an available exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to,
the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in compliance with any
applicable state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of
the Securities other than (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement,
(ii) to the Company, or (iii) pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act (“Rule 144”)
(provided that the Investor provides the Company with reasonable assurances (in
the form of seller and broker representation letters) that the securities may be
sold pursuant to such rule) or Rule 144A, the Company may require the transferor
thereof to provide to the Company and its transfer agent an opinion of counsel
selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company and its
transfer agent, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Company and its transfer agent, to the effect that such
transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities under the
Securities Act.

1.3   Knowledge; Information. The Investor has such substantial knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters in general, and in similar
investments in particular, that the Investor is capable of reading and
understanding information about the Company and evaluating the merits and risks
of an investment in the Company and the merits and risks of the acquisition of
the Securities. The Investor represents and warrants that the Investor (a) has
been furnished with all information that the Investor deems necessary to
evaluate the merits and risks of the purchase of the Securities, (b) has had the
opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the information
received about the Securities and the Company, and (c) has been given the
opportunity to obtain any additional

- 1 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

information the Investor deems necessary to verify the accuracy of any
information obtained concerning the Securities and the Company. The Investor has
obtained, in the judgment of the Investor, sufficient information to evaluate
the merits and risks of an investment in the Company, including the “risk
factors” contained in the SEC Reports (as defined below).  The Investor has not
relied and will not rely upon any offering material or literature other than the
SEC Reports and this Subscription Agreement or upon any information given to the
Investor by persons other than the Company and its officers.

1.4   Acknowledgment of Risk. Investment in the Securities involves risk of loss
by the Investor of the entire investment, and there is no assurance, and the
Investor has received no assurance, of any income from the investment in the
Securities.

5.   Market Stand-Off

In connection with the any underwritten public offering by the Company of its
equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under
the Securities Act, Investor shall not, without the prior written consent of the
Company’s managing underwriter, (i) lend, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell,
sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to
sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or
dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of the Company’s Common Stock or
any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for the Company’s
Common Stock (whether such shares or any such securities are then owned by the
Investor or are thereafter acquired), or (ii) enter into any swap or other
arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic
consequences of ownership of the Company’s Common Stock or any securities
convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for the Company’s Common Stock,
whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be
settled by delivery of stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise.
 Such restriction (the “Market Stand-Off”) shall be in effect for such period of
time following the date of the final prospectus for the offering as may be
requested by the Company or such underwriters.  In no event, however, shall such
period exceed 180 days or such longer period requested by the underwriters to
comply with regulatory restrictions on the publication of research reports
(including, without limitation, NASD 2711).  In the event of the declaration of
a stock dividend, a spin-off, a stock split, an adjustment in conversion ratio,
a recapitalization or a similar transaction affecting the Company’s outstanding
securities without receipt of consideration, any new, substituted or additional
securities that are by reason of such transaction distributed with respect to
any Company Common Stock subject to the Market Stand-Off, or into which such
Company Common Stock thereby becomes convertible, shall immediately be subject
to the Market Stand-Off.  To enforce the Market Stand-Off, the Company may
impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Securities until the end
of the applicable stand-off period.  This Section 5 shall not apply to
Securities registered in the public offering under the Securities Act, and the
Investor shall be subject to this Section 5 only if the directors and officers
of the Company are subject to similar arrangements.
