                                    RECITALS

     A. The Company is offering to sell up to 1,200 Units (the "Units"), each
Unit consisting of 1,000 shares of the Company's common stock without par value
(the "Common Stock") and a warrant to purchase 250 shares of Common Stock at
$3.00 per share until October 14, 2010 (the "Offering"), as more fully described
in the Private Placement Memorandum dated October 14, 2005, of which this
Subscription Agreement forms a part.

     B. The Units are being offered to accredited investors as defined in Rule
501(a) of Regulation D, at a price of $2,000 per Unit.

     C. This Agreement confirms the understanding between the Company and the
Subscriber with respect to the Subscriber's subscription for the number of Units
specified below.

                             STATEMENT OF AGREEMENT

     In consideration of their mutual promises, the Company and the Subscriber
agree as follows:

     Section 1. Subscription for Units. Subscriber hereby subscribes for the
number of Units set forth below and the Company agrees to promptly issue the
requisite number of shares of Common Stock and warrants underlying such Units
upon payment of $2,000 per Unit.

     Section 2. Effectiveness of Agreement. The Company reserves the right to
reject this Agreement, in whole or in part, for any reason. This Agreement will
not become effective until this Agreement has been duly accepted by the Company
in the space provided below.

     Section 3. Representations and Warranties of Subscriber. In connection with
this subscription for Units, the Subscriber hereby represents and warrants to
the Company as provided in this Section 3. It is understood that the Company
will rely upon these representations and warranties in accepting this Agreement
and that such representations and warranties will survive delivery and
acceptance of this Agreement.

     (a) The Subscriber has received copies of the Company's filings with the
     Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") which outline the
     terms of the Common Stock underlying the Units, has reviewed the same and
     consents to all of the conditions and terms described therein.

     (b) The Subscriber acknowledges that he has received copies of or has been
     afforded the opportunity to examine and copy all desired documents, books
     and records relating to the Company. The Subscriber acknowledges that: (i)
     he has received and read the Company's Commission filings, (ii) he
     understands the

<PAGE>

     information included therein, (iii) he is aware that there are economic
     variables and risks that could adversely affect an investment in the Units,
     (iv) he, or his business, tax and legal advisers, if any, have reviewed the
     documents and information relating to his subscription for the Units and
     they have advised him as to the merits of the Units, (v) he, or his
     advisers, have had ready access to any and all documents which the
     Subscriber or they deem relevant to the purchase of such Units and no
     requested information, oral or written, has been withheld, (vi) the Company
     has made available to the Subscriber, during the course of the transaction
     and prior to sale, the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers
     from, the Company or any person acting on its behalf concerning the terms
     and conditions of this offering of Units and the Company, and to obtain any
     additional information, to the extent the Company possesses such
     information or can acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense, (vii)
     he has relied primarily on independent analysis to make an investment
     decision with respect to the Units, and (viii) he has not relied on any
     representations or warranties other than as set forth herein or in the
     terms of the Units.

     (c) The Subscriber understands that (i) in reliance upon the Subscriber's
     representations, neither the Units, nor the underlying shares of Common
     Stock, warrants, or shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of
     such warrants have been registered under the Act or any state securities
     laws, (ii) since the Units, the underlying shares of Common Stock,
     warrants, and shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such
     warrants have not been registered, the Subscriber must bear the economic
     risk of holding such shares of Common Stock until Rule 144 is available to
     Subscriber, (iii) the Company will note the restrictions on resale set
     forth above on its transfer records and any certificates of ownership or
     common stock purchase warrants, (iv) neither the Company nor anyone else
     has undertaken to register for resale any of the warrants or shares of
     Common Stock underlying the Units under the Act, and (v) there is no
     guarantee that a trading or resale market for the shares of Common Stock
     will exist in the future.

     (d) The Subscriber is acquiring the Units and the underlying shares of
     Common Stock and warrants for his own account, for investment only, and not
     with a view to or for the sale, distribution or fractionalization thereof.

     (e) The Subscriber's overall commitment to investments which are not
     readily marketable is not disproportionate to his net worth, and his
     investment in the Units will not cause such overall commitment to become
     excessive.

     (f) The Subscriber has adequate means of providing for his current needs
     and personal contingencies, and has no need for current income or liquidity
     in his investment in the Units.

     (g) The Subscriber is able to bear the economic risks of this investment in
     the Units and can afford a complete loss of such investment.

     (h) The Subscriber has such knowledge and experience in financial and
     business matters that he is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of
     an investment in the Units.

     (i) The Subscriber received the terms of the Units and first learned of the
     offering of Units in the State which is listed as the residence or
     principal office address of the Subscriber below.

     (j) With respect to the legal aspects of the investment, the Subscriber has
     relied solely upon the advice of the Subscriber's own legal advisors.

     Section 4. Covenants of the Subscriber. The Subscriber will furnish to the
Company such information or additional verifications as the Company may
reasonably request and will cooperate with the Company in obtaining such
additional information or verifications from third parties as the Company may
reasonably request for the purpose of confirming the representations and
warranties of the Subscriber set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement and
perfecting the exemption from registration under the federal and state
securities laws.


                                        2

     Section 5. Sale of Shares. The Subscriber agrees that he will not sell,
pledge, fractionalize or otherwise dispose of any of the shares of Common Stock
underlying the Units or shares of Common Stock obtained from the exercise of
warrants underlying the Units, unless counsel, satisfactory to the Company,
shall have advised the Company, in a written opinion satisfactory to it, that no
registration under the Act or any state securities act would be required in
connection with the proposed sale, pledge or other disposition and the proposed
sale, pledge or other disposition is consummated as contemplated by such
opinion.

     Section 6. Registration Rights

     (a) Registrable Securities. As used herein the terms "Registrable
     Securities" and "Registrable Security" means the shares of Common Stock
     underlying a Unit or issued upon the exercise of warrants underlying a Unit
     (collectively, the "Unit Shares") and any shares of Common Stock issued
     upon any stock split or stock dividend in respect of such Unit Shares;
     provided, however, that with respect to any Registrable Security, such
     security shall cease to be a Registrable Security after October 14, 2010,
     or when, as of the date of determination, (i) it has been effectively
     registered under the Securities Act, (ii) it is freely tradeable without
     limitation on the number of Shares transferable by the holder thereof
     pursuant to an exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 promulgated
     under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), or (iii) it has
     ceased to be outstanding.

     (b) Resale Registration Statement. If, at any time after the date hereof
     and prior to close of the Offering, two or more investors (or related
     parties) each purchase at least 250 Units (representing $500,000 of the
     Registrable Securities), then within ten days of the consummation of the
     purchase of the second allotment of 250 Units the Company shall begin the
     process of preparing and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission
     a registration statement covering the Subscriber's Registrable Securities
     (the "Resale Registration Statement"), and shall use reasonable efforts to
     have the Resale Registration Statement declared effective under the Act by
     the Securities and Exchange Commission. Upon the effectiveness of the
     Resale Registration Statement, the Company will use commercially reasonable
     efforts to keep the Resale Registration Statement open until such time as
     all of the Registrable Securities have been sold, or such time as all of
     the Registrable Securities are freely tradeable without limitation on the
     number of Shares transferable by the holder thereof pursuant to an
     exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Act.
     The Company shall bear all of the expense of the Resale Registration.

     (c) Piggyback Registrations. If, at any time after the date hereof and
     before October 14, 2010 the Subscriber owns any of the Registrable
     Securities, the Company proposes to prepare and file with the Securities
     and Exchange Commission one or more registration statements covering equity
     or debt securities of the Company with a value exceeding $1,000,000 (in any
     such case, other than on Form S-8 or S-4 or successor forms), it will give
     Subscriber at least 15 days' prior written notice via overnight courier or
     certified mail (the "Notice"). Upon written request of Subscriber, made
     within 10 days after mailing of the Notice, that the Company include any of
     the Subscriber's Registrable Securities in the proposed registration
     statement, the Company shall use reasonable efforts to effect the
     registration under the Act, and any underwriting involved therein, of the
     Registrable Securities which it has been so requested to register but only
     to the extent that such inclusion does not diminish the number of
     securities included by a holder of Common Stock who has demanded such
     registration (the "Piggyback Registration"); provided, however, that if in
     the written opinion of the Company's managing underwriter, if any, for such
     offering, the inclusion of all or a portion of the Registrable Securities
     requested to be registered, when added to the securities being registered
     by the Company, will exceed the maximum amount of the Company's securities
     which can be marketed (i) at a price reasonably related to their then
     current market value, or (ii) without otherwise materially adversely
     affecting the entire offering, then the Company may exclude from such
     offering all or a portion of the Registrable Securities which it has been
     requested to register. The Company shall bear all of the expense of the
     Piggyback Registration, except for the pro rata portion of brokerage or
     underwriters' discounts or commissions relating to the shares sold on
     behalf of the Subscriber. All of Subscriber's Piggyback Registration rights
     under this Agreement shall expire on October 14, 2010. Notwithstanding
     anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall have the right at any
     and all times after it shall have given written notice


                                        3

<PAGE>

     pursuant to this Section to elect not to file any such proposed
     registration statement, or to withdraw the same after the filing but prior
     to the effective date thereof.

     (d) Subscriber Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the
     obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 6
     that the Subscriber shall furnish to the Company such information regarding
     itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended methods of
     disposition of such securities as shall be required to timely effect the
     registration of its Registrable Securities.

     (e) Holdback Agreement. As long as Subscriber holds any Registrable
     Securities, Subscriber hereby agrees that it shall not sell or otherwise
     transfer any securities of the Company during the period of time as the
     managing underwriter and the Company shall agree (but not less than 90 days
     nor more than 180 days) beginning on the effective date of any registration
     statement, other than the Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to
     such registration statement.

     Section 7. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement, upon its effectiveness
as provided for in Section 2 of this Agreement, shall be binding upon the heirs,
executors, administrators and successors of the Subscriber, and shall inure to
the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns. This Agreement is not
transferable or assignable by the Subscriber.

     Section 8. Interpretation. Words used herein, regardless of the gender
specifically used, shall be deemed and construed to include any other gender,
masculine, feminine, or neuter, as the context requires.

     Section 9. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire
agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
contained herein and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements,
representations and understandings of the parties, express or implied, oral or
written with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may not be
amended or modified in any way except in a writing signed by each of the parties
hereto.

     Section 10. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance
with and governed in all respects by the laws of Ohio, without regard to its
conflicts of laws rules.
