SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT


 


Aspen Group, Inc.


224 West 30th Street, Suite 604


New York, New York 10001


Attention: Michael Mathews


 


Dear Sirs:


 


1.1 Subscription. I, the undersigned investor (the “Investor”) understand the Company is conducting a private placement offering on a “best efforts basis” (the “Offering”) as described in a Term Sheet dated December 10, 2012 (the “Term Sheet”). I hereby acknowledge receipt of the Term Sheet. I hereby subscribe for and agree to purchase on the terms and conditions contained herein ______________ shares of common stock (“Common Stock”) of Aspen Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and ___________ warrants to purchase Common Stock. The warrants will be exercisable at $0.50 per share for a five-year period. The Common Stock and warrants are referred to herein as the “Securities”.


 


1.2 Subscription Payment. As payment for this subscription, simultaneously with the execution hereof, I am providing payment in the amount of $___________ as instructed in Exhibit C to the Term Sheet.


 


2.1 Investor Representations and Warranties. I acknowledge, represent and warrant to, and agree with, the Company as follows:


 



	
(a)   

	
I am aware that my investment involves a high degree of risk.







 



	
(b)   

	
I acknowledge and am aware that there is no assurance as to the future performance of the Company;







 



	
(c)   

	
I am purchasing the Securities for my own account for investment and not with a view to or for sale in connection with the distribution of the Securities nor with any present intention of selling or otherwise disposing of all or any part of the Securities. I agree that I must bear the economic risk of my investment for an indefinite period of time because, among other reasons, the shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) or under the securities laws of any states and, therefore, cannot be resold, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and under applicable securities laws of such states or an exemption from such registration is available. I hereby authorize the Company to place a legend denoting the restriction on the certificates to be issued.

(d)   

	
I further acknowledge my understanding that the Company’s reliance on such exemptions referred to in subsection (c) above are, in part, based upon the foregoing representations, warranties, and agreements by me and that the statutory basis for such exemptions would not be present, if, notwithstanding such representations, warranties and agreements, I were acquiring the Securities for resale on the occurrence or non-occurrence of some pre-determined event. In order to induce the Company to issue and sell the Securities subscribed for hereby to me, it is agreed that the Company will have no obligation to recognize the ownership, beneficial or otherwise, of such Securities or any part thereof by anyone, except as set forth herein;







 



	
(e)   

	
I have the financial ability to bear the economic risk of my investment in the Company (including its possible total loss), have adequate means for providing for my current needs and personal contingencies and have no need for liquidity with respect to my investment in the Company;







 



	
(f)   

	
I have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities and have obtained, in my judgment, sufficient information from the Company to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Company;







 



	
(g)   

	
I: _________________







 



	
  

	
(1)

	
Have carefully read this Subscription Agreement and the Term Sheet, and understand and have evaluated the risks of a purchase of the Securities including the risks disclosed in the Prospectus filed on November 29, 2012 and have relied solely (except as indicated in subsection (2) and (3)) on the information contained in this Subscription Agreement and the Term Sheet;







 



	
  

	
(2)

	
Have been provided an opportunity to obtain any additional information concerning the Offering, the Company and all other information to the extent the Company possesses such information or can acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense; and







 



	
  

	
(3)

	
Have been given the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the Offering and other matters pertaining to this investment. In addition, if the offer or sale occurs in Florida, as required by Section 517.061(11)(a)(3), Florida Statutes and by Rule 3E-500.05(a) thereunder, or if it occurs elsewhere, I may have, at the offices of the Company, at any reasonable hour, after reasonable prior notice, access to the materials set forth in the Rule which the Company can obtain without unreasonable effort or expense.

Where applicable, I agree to be bound by any restrictions on resale of the Securities required by applicable state laws.
