Exhibit 10.26

                             SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

            SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT made as of this 16th day of September 2005,
between Health Benefits Direct Corporation, a Delaware corporation with offices
at 2900 Gateway Drive, Pompano Beach, FL 33069 (the "Company") and Alvin H.
Clemens, an individual with an address at Five Radnor Corporate Center, Suite
555, 100 Matsonford Road, Radnor, PA 19087 (the "Subscriber").

            WHEREAS, the Company is offering the Subscriber an opportunity to
make an investment in the Company; and

            WHEREAS, the Subscriber desires to make an investment in the Company
on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

            NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and the
mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto do hereby agree as
follows:

      I.    SUBSCRIPTION FOR UNITS AND REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS OF
            SUBSCRIBER

            1.1     Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth,
Subscriber hereby agrees to purchase from the Company and the Company agrees to
sell to the Subscriber (i) 300,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value per
share (the "Common Stock") and (ii) a five-year warrant to purchase 75,000
shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per shares (the Warrant"
and together with the Common Stock, the "Securities") at an aggregate purchase
price of $225,000. The purchase price is payable by cash or wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the account of the Company, pursuant to the wire
instructions attached hereto as Exhibit A.

            1.2     The Subscriber recognizes that the purchase of the Common
Stock and the Warrants involves a high degree of risk in that (i) an investment
in the Company is highly speculative and only investors who can afford the loss
of their entire investment should consider investing in the Company and the
Common Stock and the Warrants; (ii) the Common Stock and the Warrants are not
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), or any
state securities law; (iii) there is no trading market for the Common Stock or
the Warrants, none is likely ever to develop, and the Subscriber may not be able
to liquidate his investment; (iv) transferability of the Common Stock and the
Warrants is extremely limited; and (v) an investor could suffer the loss of his,
her or its entire investment.

            1.3     The Subscriber represents and warrants that the Subscriber
is an "accredited investor" as such term in defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D
promulgated under the Act and that the Subscriber is able to bear the economic
risk of an investment in the Common Stock and the Warrants.




            1.4     The Subscriber acknowledges that the Subscriber has prior
investment experience (including investment in non listed and non registered
securities) and has evaluated, or has employed the services of an investment
advisor, attorney or accountant to evaluate, such an investment by the
Subscriber. The Subscriber represents that the Subscriber's overall commitment
to investments which are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to the
Subscriber's net worth, and that the Subscriber's investment in the Common Stock
and Warrants will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive. The
Subscriber represents that he has adequate means of providing for his current
needs and personal and family contingencies and has no need for liquidity in his
investment in the Common Stock and Warrants. The Subscriber is financially able
to bear the economic risk of this investment, including the ability to afford
holding the Common Stock and Warrants for an indefinite period or to afford a
complete loss of this investment.

            1.5     The Subscriber acknowledges that the Subscriber has been
afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from duly
authorized officers or other representatives of the Company concerning the
Company and the purchase of the Securities, and any additional information which
the Subscriber has requested.

            1.6     The Subscriber acknowledges that the purchase of the
Securities may involve tax consequences to the Subscriber. The Subscriber
acknowledges that the Subscriber must retain his own professional advisors to
evaluate the tax and other consequences to the Subscriber of an investment in
the Securities.

            1.7     The Subscriber acknowledges that this offering has not been
reviewed by the SEC or any state securities commission, and that no federal or
state agency has made any finding or determination regarding the fairness or
merits of the offering. The Subscriber represents that the Common Stock and the
Warrants are being purchased for his own account, for investment only, and not
with a view toward distribution or resale to others. The Subscriber agrees that
he will not sell or otherwise transfer the Common Stock or Warrants unless they
are registered under the Act or unless an exemption from such registration is
available, as the same may be amended from time to time.

            1.8     The Subscriber understands that the provisions of Rule 144
under the Act are not available for at least one (1) year to permit resales of
the Common Stock or Warrants, and there can be no assurance that the conditions
necessary to permit such sales under Rule 144 will ever be satisfied. The
Subscriber understands that the Company is under no obligation to the Subscriber
to comply with the conditions of Rule 144 or take any other action necessary in
order to make any exemption for the sale of the Common Stock or Warrants without
registration available.

            1.9     The Subscriber agrees to hold the Company and its directors,
officers and controlling persons and their respective heirs, representatives,
successors and assigns harmless and to indemnify them against all liabilities,
costs and expenses incurred by them as a result of any misrepresentation made by
the Subscriber contained herein or any sale or distribution by the Subscriber in
violation of the Act (including without limitation the rules promulgated
thereunder), any state securities laws, or the Company's certificate of
incorporation or by-laws, as amended from time to time.


                                        2



            1.10    The Subscriber consents to the placement of a legend on any
certificate or other document evidencing the Common Stock and the Warrants
stating that they have not been registered under the Act and setting forth or
referring to the restrictions on transferability and sale thereof.

            1.11    The Subscriber understands that the Company will review and
rely on this Subscription Agreement without making any independent
investigation; and it is agreed that the Company reserves the unrestricted right
to reject or limit any subscription and to withdraw the Offering at any time.

            1.12    The Subscriber hereby represents that the address of the
Subscriber furnished at the end of this Subscription Agreement is the
undersigned's principal residence if the Subscriber is an individual or its
principal business address if it is a corporation or other entity.

            1.13    The Subscriber acknowledges that if the Subscriber is a
Registered Representative of an NASD member firm, the Subscriber must give such
firm the notice required by the NASD's Conduct Rules, receipt of which must be
acknowledged by such firm on the signature page hereof.

            1.14    The Subscriber hereby represents that, except as expressly
set forth in this Subscription Agreement, no representations or warranties have
been made to the Subscriber by the Company or any agent, employee or affiliate
of the Company and in entering into this transaction, the Subscriber is not
relying on any information, other than that contained in this Subscription
Agreement and the results of independent investigation by the Subscriber.

            1.15    The Subscriber recognizes that the Company will require
additional financing in order to accomplish its short-term goals and its
business objectives. There can be no assurance that any such additional funds
will be available on reasonable terms, or at all, and any such additional funds
raised in any equity offering will dilute the interests of the Subscriber.
Subscriber further recognizes that Company reserves the right to pay a
commission or finders fee of up to 10% of the gross proceeds of the offering.

            1.16    All information provided by the Subscriber in the Investor
Questionnaire attached hereto as Exhibit B is true and accurate in all respects,
and the Subscriber acknowledges that the Company will be relying on such
information to its possible detriment in deciding whether the Company can sell
these securities to the Subscriber without giving rise to the loss of an
exemption from registration under the applicable securities laws.

            1.17    The Subscriber is aware that the Company has not entered
into any agreement or understanding providing for the purchase of any business
or assets, and that by execution of this Subscription Agreement, the Subscriber
consents to any and all resulting terms of any purchases which will be in the
sole discretion of the Company over which the Subscriber will have no effective
influence.
