                             SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

TO:  Galaxy Nutritional Foods, Inc.
     2441 Viscount Row
     Orlando, Florida 32809

     1. SUBSCRIPTION FOR SHARES.  Each of the undersigned  subscribers (each and
collectively, "Subscriber") hereby subscribes for and agrees to purchase a total
of __________ shares of common stock, $0.01 par value (the "Shares"),  of Galaxy
Nutritional   Foods,   Inc.,  a  Delaware   corporation  (the   "Company"),   in
consideration  of  services  rendered  to the Company in the amount of $4.08 per
share to the Company  pursuant to a Food  Service  Brokerage  Agreement  between
Subscriber and the Company dated as of June 25, 2002.

     2. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.  Subscriber understands and acknowledges
that the Shares are being offered and sold under the exemption from registration
provided for in the  Securities  Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"),  including
Regulation D promulgated  thereunder,  that it is purchasing  the Shares without
being furnished any offering literature or prospectus, that this transaction has
not been  scrutinized by the United States  Securities  and Exchange  Commission
(the "SEC") or by any  administrative  agency charged with the administration of
the  securities  laws of any  state  because  of the  small  number  of  persons
solicited and the private aspects of the offering,  that all documents,  records
and books pertaining to the Company and this investment have been made available
to Subscriber and its  representatives,  including its attorney,  its accountant
and/or its purchaser  representative,  that the books and records of the Company
will be available upon  reasonable  notice for  inspection by Subscriber  during
reasonable business hours at the Company's principal place of business, and that
Subscriber has had access to and the opportunity to request information from and
ask questions of Mr.  Angelo  Morini,  the President of the Company.  Subscriber
hereby further represents and warrants as follows:

     a.   Subscriber  understands  that the Shares are  speculative  investments
          with a high  degree  of risk  of  loss  and  that  Subscriber  must be
          prepared  to lose its entire  investment  in the  Company.  Such risks
          include,  but are not  limited  to, the  Company's  limited  operating
          history,  the  possible  need  for  additional  financing  in order to
          continue  operations,  the sale and  issuance of  additional  stock in
          offerings  currently being conducted and contemplated in the immediate
          future by the Company and the dilution such additional  offerings will
          create for the  Company's  shareholders,  intense  competition  in the
          industry and the competitive  advantages of existing  companies in the
          industry, and the limitations on the ability of Subscriber to transfer
          the Shares.

     b.   Subscriber hereby  acknowledges that the Shares have not been approved
          or disapproved  by the SEC or any other federal or state  governmental
          authority  nor has the SEC or any such  federal or state  governmental
          authority  passed  upon  the  accuracy  or  adequacy  of  any  of  the
          information  provided  by the  Company  to  Subscriber  regarding  the
          Company, the Shares or any other related matter.

     c.   Subscriber acknowledges that the Shares have not been registered under
          the Act, the Florida  Securities  and Investor  Protection  Act or the
          laws of any other  jurisdiction  and that the Shares cannot be sold or
          transferred  by  Subscriber  unless they are  subsequently  registered
          under  applicable law or an exemption from  registration is available.
          The Company is not  required and does not intend to register or assist
          in  the  registration  of  the  Shares  or  make  any  exemption  from
          registration  available. No rule of the SEC under the Act is presently
          available to allow resale of the Shares and there is no assurance  one
          may be available in the future. Subscriber acknowledges that there may
          be no public market

<PAGE>

          for the Shares and that  Subscriber  is able (i) to bear the  economic
          risk of this  investment,  (ii) to hold the Shares  indefinitely,  and
          (iii)  presently  to  afford  a  complete  loss  of  this  investment;
          Subscriber  has  adequate  means of  providing  for current  needs and
          personal  contingencies,  and  has  no  need  for  liquidity  in  this
          investment.

     d.   If Subscriber is a resident of the State of Florida,  it  acknowledges
          that  the  purchase  of  Shares  is  voidable  by  Subscriber  without
          incurring  any  liability  to the Company or any other  person  within
          three (3) days of making such  purchase,  in which case all funds will
          be refunded without interest or deduction.

     e.   Subscriber has such knowledge and experience in financial and business
          matters that it and such  representative are capable of evaluating the
          merits  and  risks of an  investment  in the  Shares  and of making an
          informed  investment  decision.  The  undersigned  represents that the
          undersigned  has  such  knowledge  and  experience  in  financial  and
          business  matters that the  undersigned  is capable of evaluating  the
          merits and risks of an  investment  in the Shares and in the  Company,
          and of making an informed  investment  decision,  and is not utilizing
          any other person in connection  with evaluating such merits and risks.
          The  undersigned  offers as evidence the  undersigned's  knowledge and
          experience  in  these  matters  the  information   requested  in  this
          Subscription Agreement and the related subscription documents attached
          hereto.

     f.   Subscriber  confirms  that,  in making its  decision to  purchase  the
          Shares, it has relied solely upon independent  investigations  made by
          it and/or by its  representatives,  including its own professional tax
          and other advisors and that it and such  representatives  and advisors
          have been given the  opportunity  to ask  questions of, and to receive
          answers from,  persons acting on behalf of the Company concerning this
          investment and the terms and conditions of purchasing the Shares,  and
          to obtain any  additional  information or documents to the extent such
          persons  possess  such  information  or  documents or can acquire them
          without  unreasonable  effort  or  expense,  and that the  Company  or
          persons  acting on  behalf  of the  Company  have  furnished  all such
          additional   information  and  documents  to  Subscriber   and/or  its
          representatives.

     g.   The Company has not made,  and  Subscriber  has not relied  upon,  any
          statements,  representations or warranties  regarding the Company, its
          business or any other  related  information  that are not contained in
          executed written agreements between Subscriber and the Company.

     h.   The Shares are being  acquired by  Subscriber in good faith solely for
          its own personal  account,  for investment  purposes only, and are not
          being purchased for resale, resyndication,  distribution,  subdivision
          or   fractionalization   thereof;   Subscriber   has  no  contract  or
          arrangement with any person to sell,  transfer or pledge to any person
          the Shares or any part  thereof,  any  interest  therein or any rights
          thereto;  Subscriber  has no  present  plans  to  enter  into any such
          contract or arrangement;  and it understands  that as a result it must
          bear the economic risk of the investment  for an indefinite  period of
          time  because the Shares have not been  registered  under the Act and,
          therefore,  cannot be sold  unless  they are  subsequently  registered
          under the Act (which the  Company is not  obligated  to do, and has no
          present   intention  of  doing)  or  unless  an  exemption  from  such
          registration is available.

     i.   Subscriber  understands  that no federal or state agency has passed on
          or made any  recommendation  or endorsement of the Shares and that the
          Company is relying on the truth and  accuracy of the  representations,
          declarations and warranties herein made by

<PAGE>

          Subscriber in offering the Shares for sale to it without  having first
          registered the same under the Act.

     j.   Subscriber  is an  "accredited  investor,"  as such term is defined in
          Regulation   D  under   the  Act,   because   Subscriber   meets   the
          qualifications  indicated in Section 5 of the  Investor  Questionnaire
          attached hereto and incorporated  herein.  The Subscriber has attached
          to this Agreement the Investor  Questionnaire  which has been duly and
          properly completed and executed by the Subscriber.

     3. RESTRICTED SECURITIES;  LEGEND.  Subscriber agrees that it will not sell
or offer to sell or transfer the Shares or any part thereof or interest  therein
without  registration  under  the  Act,  the  Florida  Securities  and  Investor
Protection Act and applicable  state  securities  laws or an exemption from such
registration  or  pursuant  to Rule  144 or Rule  144A  of the  Act.  Subscriber
understands and  acknowledges  that the Shares  purchased  hereunder will bear a
legend substantially in the following form:

     THE  SECURITIES  REPRESENTED  HEREBY  HAVE NOT BEEN  REGISTERED  UNDER  THE
     SECURITIES  ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED,  THE FLORIDA  SECURITIES  AND INVESTOR
     PROTECTION  ACT OR THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER  STATE AND WERE SOLD  PURSUANT  TO
     EXEMPTIONS  FROM  REGISTRATION  UNDER THAT ACT AND SUCH STATE  LAWS.  THESE
     SECURITIES  MAY NOT BE SOLD  OR  OFFERED  FOR  SALE  IN THE  ABSENCE  OF AN
     EFFECTIVE  REGISTRATION  STATEMENT  FOR THE SHARES  UNDER THAT ACT AND SUCH
     STATE LAWS AS MAY BE APPLICABLE, OR PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR 144A UNDER SUCH
     ACT, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT REGISTRATION
     IS NOT REQUIRED.

The  undersigned  acknowledges  that the  undersigned  is aware  that  there are
substantial  restrictions on the transferability of the Shares. Since the Shares
will not be registered  under the  Securities  Act, the Shares may not become so
registered.  The  undersigned  agrees  that  the  Shares  may not be sold in the
absence of registration  unless such sale is exempt from registration  under the
Securities Act. The undersigned also  acknowledges that the undersigned shall be
responsible  for  compliance  with all  conditions  on  transfer  imposed by any
Commissioner  of  Securities  of any state and for any expenses  incurred by the
Company for legal or accounting  services in connection  with  reviewing  such a
proposed transfer or issuing opinions in connection therewith.

     4. NO  ASSIGNMENT.  This  Subscription  Agreement  is not  transferable  or
assignable by Subscriber without the express written consent of the Company.

     5. NO  ADVICE.  Subscriber  acknowledges  and agrees  that any  information
furnished by the Company does not  constitute  investment,  accounting  or legal
advice. Subscriber is relying on its own professional advisors for such advice.

     6.  INDEMNIFICATION.  Subscriber  recognizes that the offer and sale of the
Shares to it were  based upon the  agreements,  representations  and  warranties
contained in this Agreement and Subscriber hereby agrees that if it breaches any
agreement, representation or warranty it has made herein, it shall indemnify and
hold  harmless  the  Company and its  officers,  directors,  attorneys,  agents,
representatives,  and any person  controlling  any of them  against  any and all
claims,  actions,  liability,  loss, damage or expense (including attorneys' and
paralegals'  fees and costs of  investigating  and  litigating  claims)  caused,
directly or indirectly, by its breach.

     7.  ACCEPTANCE OR REJECTION OF  SUBSCRIPTION.  The Subscriber  understands,
acknowledges  and agrees that  Company  shall have the right to accept or reject
this subscription, in whole or in part, and this subscription shall be deemed to

subscription of the undersigned,  the undersigned hereby irrevocably constitutes
and appoints the Company,  with full power of  substitution,  the  undersigned's
true and lawful  attorney for the  undersigned  and in the  undersigned's  name,
place,  and stead and for the  undersigned's  use and  benefit,  to execute  any
documents  necessary  to  correct or  complete  the  undersigned's  subscription
documents in accordance with the apparent intent thereof. The undersigned hereby
agrees to be bound by any representations  made by the Company or its authorized
agents, employees, or substitutes acting pursuant to this Power of Attorney, and
the undersigned hereby waives any and all defenses which may be available to the
undersigned  to contest,  negate,  or disaffirm  their actions or the actions of
their  substitutes  under this Power of Attorney.  The powers herein granted are
granted for the sole and exclusive  benefit of the undersigned and not on behalf
of any other  person,  in whole or in part.  This  Power of  Attorney  is hereby
declared to be  irrevocable  and a power  coupled  with an  interest  which will
survive the death,  disability,  dissolution,  bankruptcy,  or insolvency of the
undersigned.

     9. TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER. The undersigned verifies under penalties
of perjury that the Social  Security  Number or Taxpayer  Identification  Number
shown  on the  Signature  Page is  true,  correct  and  complete  and  that  the
undersigned is not subject to backup withholding.

     10.   INVESTOR   QUESTIONNAIRE.   The  undersigned  has  attached  to  this

extraordinary nature,

                                       8
<PAGE>

and of a peculiar  value,  the loss of which cannot be  reasonably or adequately
compensated  in damages in any action at law,  and that a breach by the Employee
will cause the Employer great and  irreparable  injury and damage.  It is agreed
that the  Employer,  in  addition  to any other  remedies,  shall be entitled to
injunctive  and other  equitable  relief to prevent a breach of this  Employment
Agreement by the Employee.

     (b)  The parties hereto agree that by virtue of the special  knowledge that
the Employee will gain about the affairs, business,  operations,  customers, and
other  employees of the  Employer as a  consequence  of the  Employee  rendering
services to the Employer under this Employment  Agreement,  irreparable loss and
damage would be suffered  and  incurred by the  Employer if the Employee  should
breach or violate any of the covenants or agreements  contained in Paragraphs 7,
8, 9, or 10 hereof and that money damage alone would be an inadequate remedy for
the loss and damage  which would be suffered and incurred by the Employer in the
event of such breach or violation;  and the parties hereto  further  acknowledge
and agree that each of such covenants and agreements are reasonably necessary to
protect and preserve the Business of the Employer. The Employee therefore agrees
and consents that, in addition to any other remedies  available to the Employer,
at law or in equity,  the  Employer  shall be entitled to a  restraining  order,
injunction,  or other  similar  remedy  to  prevent  a breach  or  violation  or
contemplated  breach or  violation  by the  Employee of any of the  covenants or
agreements  contained  in  Paragraphs  7, 8, 9, or 10  hereof.  In the event the
Employer  seeks  an  injunction  hereunder,   the  Employee  hereby  waives  any
requirement for the posting of a bond or other security.

     12.  EMPLOYER'S OBLIGATIONS;  ASSIGNMENT.  The Employer's obligation to pay
          the Employee  compensation and other amounts due hereunder and to make
          the  arrangements  provided  herein  shall be  unconditional,  and the
          Employee  shall have no  obligation  whatsoever  to  mitigate  damages
          hereunder. If litigation after a Change of Control shall be brought to
          enforce or interpret any provision contained herein, the Employer,  to
          the extent permitted by applicable law and the Employer's  Articles of
          Incorporation  and Bylaws,  hereby  indemnifies  the  Employee for the
          Employee's  reasonable  attorneys' fees and disbursements  incurred in
          such litigation.  Except as provided herein,  this Agreement shall not
          be terminated by any merger or consolidation  or other  reorganization
          of the  Employer.  In the  event  any such  merger,  consolidation  or
          reorganization  shall  be  accomplished  by  transfer  of  stock or by
          transfer of assets or  otherwise,  the  provisions  of this  Agreement
          shall be binding  upon and inure to the  benefit of the  surviving  or
          resulting  corporation or person. This Agreement shall be binding upon
