                             SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT
                             FOR PURCHASE OF SHARES


Dear Andrew:

         1. The undersigned hereby tenders this subscription and applies for the
purchase of the number of shares of common stock (the "Shares") of the Company,
at a purchase price of $.02 per Share, set forth on the signature page of this
Subscription Agreement. The undersigned is hereby subscribing for Shares and,
together with this Subscription Agreement, the undersigned is delivering a check
payable to Gender Sciences, Inc. (the "Company") in the full amount of the
purchase price for the Shares which the undersigned is subscribing for pursuant
hereto or funds by wire transfer as instructed by the Company.

         2. In order to induce the Company to accept this subscription, the
undersigned hereby represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Company
as follows:

         (i)     The undersigned has received and reviewed with management
information related to the operations of the Company, including the Company's
Business Plan which includes the five month Cash Burn Analysis, ("CBA"), a copy
of which is attached hereto, a projected timeline for the proposed merger
between the Company and Health Direct, Inc. ("HD") and all public financial
information filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. It
is agreed that during the period covered by the "CBA", the Company shall provide
no later than ten (10) days after each monthly period, a statement covering the
preceding monthly sales results. It is further agreed that during the period,
there shall be no increase in salaries to prior levels (before 20% reduction
provided for in the "CBA") or repayment of debt except for the amount shown in
the "CBA" without written approval of the undersigned unless the sales figures
exceed the aggregate projections by thirty percent (30%) for the five months
period, in which case the salaries shall be increased to the salaries prior to
the reduction provided for in the CBA for the next seven months. In the event
that the sales figures do not exceed the projections by thirty percent (30%)
then in such event, the salaries shall remain at the level provided for in the
CBA for the next seven months. At the end of one year, the Board of Directors of
the Company (excluding Arnold and Myra Gans) shall fix the salaries for the next
year. However, such salaries shall not be greater than the salaries in effect
prior to the reduction provided for in the CBA.

         (ii)    The undersigned has had a reasonable opportunity to ask
questions of and receive answers from the Company concerning the Company and all
such questions, if any, have been answered to the full satisfaction of the
undersigned; including conversations between the undersigned and the officers
and principal shareholders of HD;

         (iii)   The undersigned has such knowledge and expertise in financial
and business matters that the undersigned is capable of evaluating the merits
and risks involved in an investment in the Shares;

         (iv)    No representations or warranties have been made to the
undersigned by the Company or any agent, employee or affiliate of the Company
other than as described herein and in entering into this transaction the
undersigned is relying upon such information, and the results of independent
investigation by the undersigned. It is further understood that there is no
assurance that the proposed merger with HD will be consummated or if consummated
within the timeline provided to you or on the terms contemplated herein. It is
understood that if HD shall receive more than 55% of the outstanding shares and
options existing after the consummation of this transaction (in this case, a


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Medical Nutrition, Inc. o Holistic Products Corp. o NutraPet Labs, Inc.

<PAGE>

total of 59,717,430 shares including the 5,500,000 issued to you and other
investors hereunder and an additional 1,250,000 shares to be issued to Gene
Terry or his designee), you will receive additional shares such that your
percentage after the consummation of the HD transaction will be equal to the
percentage of the outstanding stock of the company you would have owned as if HD
had received only 55% of the issued and outstanding stock and options.

         (v)     The undersigned understands that (A) the Shares have not been
registered under the Act or the securities laws of any state, based upon an
exemption from such registration requirements for non-public offerings pursuant
to Regulation D under the Act; (B) the Shares are and will be "restricted
securities", as said term is defined in Rule 144 of the Rules and Regulations
promulgated under the Act; (C) the Shares may not be sold or otherwise
transferred unless they have been first registered under the Act and all
applicable state securities laws, or unless exemptions from such registration
provisions are available with respect to said resale or transfer; (D) except as
otherwise set forth herein, the Company is under no obligation to register the
Shares under the Act or any state securities laws, or to take action to make any
exemption from any such registration provisions available; and (E) the
certificates for the Shares will bear a legend to the effect that the transfer
of the securities represented thereby is subject to the provisions hereof.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Company shall file a
registration statement covering its shares (including in the case of the
potential merger with HD a proxy statement on FormS-4), it agrees that it will
include those Shares being purchased by the undersigned hereunder in the
registration Statement and the Company shall enter into a customary registration
rights agreement with the undersigned;

         (vi)    The undersigned is acquiring the Shares solely for the account
of the undersigned, for investment purposes only, and not with a view towards
the resale or distribution thereof;

         (vii)   The undersigned will not sell or otherwise transfer any of the
Shares, or any interest therein, unless and until (A) said Shares shall have
first been registered under the Act and all applicable state securities laws; or
(B) the undersigned shall have first delivered to the Company a written opinion
of counsel (which counsel and opinion (in form and substance) shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the Company), to the effect that the proposed sale or
transfer is exempt from the registration provisions of the Act and all
applicable state securities laws;

         (viii)  The undersigned has full power and authority to execute and
deliver this Subscription Agreement and to perform the obligations of the
undersigned thereunder; and such agreement is a legally binding obligation of
the undersigned in accordance with its terms;

         (ix)    The undersigned is an "accredited investor," as such term is
defined in Rule 501 (a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Act;

         (x)     The undersigned has carefully reviewed the jurisdictional
notices listed below and agrees to abide by any restrictions contained therein
applicable to the undersigned.
