Exhibit 10.7

GLOBAL CONSUMER ACQUISITION CORP.

WARRANT SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

     THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of the 1st day of August,
2007, by and between Global Consumer Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”), and Scott LaPorta (“Purchaser”).

     WHEREAS, the Company desires to commit to issue and sell, and Purchaser desires to commit to
purchase and acquire, Warrants (each as defined herein) on the terms and conditions hereinafter set
forth;

     NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the promises and mutual covenants set forth
herein, it is agreed between the parties as follows:

     1. Commitment To Purchase Warrants. Subject to and immediately prior to the consummation of
the Company’s initial public offering (the “IPO”), Purchaser hereby agrees to subscribe for
and purchase from the Company, and the Company hereby agrees to issue and sell to Purchaser, five
million (1,000,000) Warrants (the “Warrants”) at a purchase price of $1.00 per Warrant for
an aggregate purchase price of $1,000,000. Each Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to
purchase one share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Common
Stock”) at an exercise price of $7.50 and in accordance with other terms to be reasonably
agreed upon by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant
agent, and set forth in a warrant agreement between such parties prior to the consummation of the
IPO (the “Warrant Agreement”). The closing of the purchase and sale of the Warrants
hereunder, including payment for and delivery of the Warrants, shall occur at the offices of the
Company immediately prior to, and subject to consummation of, the IPO.

     2. Payment of Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Warrants shall be tendered in full at
the closing (the “Closing”) by one or a combination of the following means:

          (a) wiring of immediately available United States funds to an account for the benefit of the
Company, pursuant to wire instructions provided by the Company in advance; or

          (b) by delivery of a cashiers check to the Company of immediately available United States
funds.

     3. Acceptance or Rejection of Agreement. The Company has the right to reject this Agreement
and any subscription for the Warrants represented hereby in whole or in part, for any reason and at
any time prior to a closing, notwithstanding receipt by Purchaser or prior notice of acceptance of
such subscription. The Warrants subscribed for herein will not be deemed issued to or owned by
Purchaser until a copy of this Agreement has been executed by the Company and Purchaser and a
closing with respect to such Warrants has occurred. In the event that a closing does not take place
for any reason with respect to some or all of the Warrants, all cash proceeds delivered by
Purchaser in accordance herewith with respect to such Warrants shall be returned to Purchaser as
soon as practicable, without interest, offset or deduction.

 

 

     5. Limitations on Transfer. Purchaser shall not assign, hypothecate, donate, encumber or
otherwise dispose of any interest in the Warrants during the Lock-up Period. For purposes of this
provision, the “Lock-up Period” means the period between the Closing and the consummation of a
Business Combination (as defined below). Notwithstanding anything contrary to the foregoing,
Purchaser may assign or transfer its interest in the Warrants to relatives and trusts for estate
planning purposes, including during the Lock-up Period.

     6. Restrictive Legends. All certificates representing the Warrants (and any underlying
securities thereof) shall have endorsed thereon legends in substantially the following forms (in
addition to any other legend which may be required by other agreements between the parties hereto):

          (a) “THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR
HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SAID
ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.”

          (b) “THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE ASSIGNED, HYPOTHECATED,
DONATED, ENCUMBERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THAT
CERTAIN WARRANT SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT DATED                     , 2007, AND THAT
CERTAIN WARRANT AGREEMENT DATED AS OF                     , 2007, COPIES OF WHICH ARE
AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION AT THE OFFICES OF THE COMPANY.”

          (c) Any legend required by appropriate blue sky officials.

     7. Investment Representations. In connection with the purchase of the Warrants, Purchaser
represents to the Company the following:

          (a) Purchaser has been furnished with all materials relating to the Company’s business affairs
and financial condition and materials related to the offer and sale of the Warrants that have been
requested by Purchaser and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an
informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Warrants. Purchaser has been afforded the
opportunity to ask questions of the executive officer and director of the Company. Purchaser
understands that its investment in the Warrants involves a high degree of risk. Purchaser has
sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as Purchaser has considered necessary to make an
informed investment decision with respect to Purchaser’s acquisition of the Warrants. Purchaser has
such knowledge and expertise in financial and business matters, knows of the high degree of risk
associated with investments generally and particularly investments in the securities of companies
in the development stage such as the Company, is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an
investment in the Warrants, and is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Warrants
in the amount contemplated hereunder. Purchaser has adequate means of providing for its current
financial needs and contingencies and will have no current or anticipated future needs for
liquidity which would be jeopardized by the investment in

- 2 -

 

the Warrants. Purchaser can afford a complete loss of its investment in the Warrants.
Purchaser is purchasing the Warrants for investment for Purchaser’s own account only and not with a
view to, or for resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof within the meaning of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). Purchaser understands that the Company is a
blank check development stage company recently formed for the purpose of consummating an initial
business combination (a “Business Combination”) and understands that there is no assurance
as to the future performance of the Company and that the Company may never effectuate a Business
Combination.

          (b) Purchaser understands that the Warrants (and the securities underlying the Warrants) have
not been registered under the Act or any state securities law by reason of a specific exemption
therefrom, and that the Company is relying on the truth and accuracy of, and Purchaser’s compliance
with, the representations and warranties and agreements of Purchaser set forth herein to determine
the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of Purchaser to acquire such Warrants,
including, but not limited to, the bona fide nature of Purchaser’s investment intent as expressed
herein.

          (c) Purchaser further acknowledges and understands that the Warrants (and the securities
underlying the Warrants) must be held indefinitely unless the Warrants (and the securities
underlying the Warrants) are subsequently registered under the Act or an exemption from such
registration is available. Purchaser understands that the certificates evidencing the Warrants (and
the securities underlying the Warrants) will be imprinted with a legend which prohibits the
transfer of the Warrants (and the securities underlying the Warrants) unless the Warrants (and the
securities underlying the Warrants) are registered or such registration is not required in the
opinion of counsel for the Company.

          (d) Purchaser is familiar with the provisions of Rule 144 under the Act, as in effect from
time to time (“Rule 144”), which, in substance, permit limited public resale of “restricted
securities” acquired, directly or indirectly, from the issuer thereof (or from an affiliate of such
issuer), in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Unless the
Company registers the Warrants (and the securities underlying the Warrants) under the Act, the
Warrants (and the securities underlying the Warrants) may be resold by Purchaser only in certain
limited circumstances subject to the provisions of Rule 144, which requires, among other things:
(i) the availability of certain public information about the Company and (ii) the resale occurring
following the required holding period under Rule 144 after Purchaser has purchased, and made full
payment of (within the meaning of Rule 144), the securities to be sold.

          (e) Purchaser further understands that at the time Purchaser wishes to sell the Warrants there
may be no public market upon which to make such a sale, and that, even if such a public market then
exists, the Company may not be satisfying the current public information requirements of Rule 144,
and that, in such event, Purchaser would be precluded from selling the Warrants (and the securities
underlying the Warrants) under Rule 144 even if the minimum holding period requirement had been
satisfied. Notwithstanding Sections 7(d) and (e) hereof, Purchaser understands that he may be
considered a promoter of the Company and understands that it is the position of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) that promoters or affiliates of a blank check company and
their transferees, both before and after a Business Combination, would act as an “underwriter”
under the Act when reselling the securities of a

- 3 -

 

blank check company. Accordingly, the SEC believes that those securities can be resold only
through a registered offering and that Rule 144 would not be available for those resale
transactions despite technical compliance with the requirements of Rule 144.

          (f) Purchaser represents that Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in
Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated by the SEC under the Act.

          (g) [Reserved].

          (h) Purchaser did not decide to enter into this Agreement as a result of any general
solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502(c) of the Securities Act.

          (i) Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other
government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the
Warrants or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Warrants, nor have such
authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Warrants.

     8. Company Representations and Warranties. The Company hereby represents and warrants to
Purchaser that the Company has all necessary corporate power and authority to enter into this
Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. All corporate action necessary to
be taken by the Company to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and
all other agreements and instruments delivered by the Company in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby has been duly and validly taken and this Agreement has been duly executed and
delivered by the Company. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, this Agreement
constitutes the valid, binding and enforceable obligation of the Company, enforceable in accordance
with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer or similar laws of general application now or
hereafter in effect affecting the rights and remedies of creditors and by general principles of
equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity); and (ii)
the applicability of the federal and state securities laws and public policy as to the
enforceability of the indemnification provisions of this Agreement. The sale by the Company of the
Warrants does not conflict with the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Company or any
material contract by which the Company or its property is bound, or any federal or state laws or
regulations or decree, ruling or judgment of any United States or state court applicable to the
Company or its property.

     9. Indemnification. Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the
Company’s officers, directors, stockholders, employees, agents, and attorneys against any and all
losses, claims, demands, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable legal or other expenses
incurred by each such person in connection with defending or investigating any such claims or
liabilities, whether or not resulting in any liability to such person or whether incurred by the
indemnified party in any action or proceeding between the indemnitor and indemnified party or
between the indemnified party and any third party) to which any such indemnified party may become
subject, insofar as such losses, claims, demands, liabilities and expenses (a) arise out of or are
based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact made by Purchaser
and contained herein, or (b) arise out of or are based upon any

- 4 -

 

breach by Purchaser of any representation, warranty or agreement made by Purchaser contained
herein.

10. Miscellaneous.

          (a) Notices. All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be
deemed effectively given: (i) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (ii) when sent by
confirmed facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, and if not during normal
business hours of the recipient, then on the next business day, (iii) five (5) calendar days after
having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or
(iv) one business day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next
day delivery, with written verification of receipt. All communications shall be sent to the other
party hereto at such party’s address hereinafter set forth on the signature page hereof, or at such
other address as such party may designate by ten days advance written notice to the other party
hereto.

          (b) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the successors and
assigns of the Company and, subject to the restrictions on transfer herein set forth, shall be
binding upon Purchaser and Purchaser’s successors and assigns.

          (c) [Reserved].

          (d) Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of New York without regard to the principles of conflicts of law
thereof. The parties agree that any action brought by either party to interpret or enforce any
provision of this Agreement shall be brought in, and each party agrees to, and does hereby, submit
to the jurisdiction and venue of, the appropriate state or federal court for the district
encompassing the Company’s principal place of business.

          (e) Further Execution. The parties agree to take all such further action(s) as may reasonably
be necessary to carry out and consummate this Agreement as soon as practicable, and to take
whatever steps may be necessary to obtain any governmental approval in connection with or otherwise
qualify the issuance of the securities that are the subject of this Agreement.

          (f) Independent Counsel. Purchaser acknowledges that this Agreement has been prepared on
behalf of the Company by Proskauer Rose LLP, counsel to the Company and that Proskauer Rose LLP
does not represent, and is not acting on behalf of, Purchaser. Purchaser has been provided with an
opportunity to consult with Purchaser’s own counsel with respect to this Agreement.

          (g) Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the
parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and merges all prior agreements or
understandings, whether written or oral. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or revoked, in
whole or in part, except by an agreement in writing signed by each of the parties hereto.

          (h) Severability. If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable
under applicable law, the parties agree to renegotiate such provision in good faith.

- 5 -

 

In the event that the parties cannot reach a mutually agreeable and enforceable replacement
for such provision, then (i) such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement, (ii) the balance
of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and (iii) the balance
of the Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

          (i) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one instrument. This
Agreement or any counterpart may be executed via facsimile or electronic mail transmission, and any
such executed facsimile or electronic mail copy shall be treated as an original.

          (j) Survival. The representations and warranties contained herein will survive the delivery
of, and the payment for, the Warrants.

          (k) Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives the
right to a trial by jury in any action, suit, counterclaim or other proceeding (whether based on
contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of, connected with or relating to this Agreement, the
transactions contemplated hereby, or the actions of Purchaser in the negotiation, administration,
performance or enforcement hereof.

GLOBAL CONSUMER ACQUISITION CORP.

July 16, 2007

Hayground Cove Asset Management LLC

1370 Avenue of the Americas, 28th Floor

New York, NY 10019

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     This letter sets forth the agreement (the “Agreement”) between Global Consumer
Acquisition Corp., a Delaware Corporation (the “Company”), and Hayground Cove Asset
Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Hayground Cove”), in connection with
the services to be provided by Hayground Cove. The Company expects to complete an offering of
units (the “Offering”) to be listed on the American Stock Exchange (“Amex”). This
letter will confirm our agreement that, commencing on the date upon which the units issued in the
Offering are admitted to trading on Amex (the “Admission Date”) and continuing until the
earlier of the consummation by the Company of a Business Combination (as described in the final
prospectus (the “Prospectus”) contained in a registration statement on Form S-1 relating to
the Offering) and the Company’s liquidation (the “Termination Date”), Hayground Cove shall:

     (i) provide administrative services as may be required by the Company from time to time,
including the administration of the Company’s day-to-day activities;

     (ii) provide office space to the Company for use by the Company’s employees and service
providers for purposes of conducting the Company’s business;

     (iii) perform accounting and comptroller-related services for the Company, including
correspondence with the Company’s auditors;

     (iv) make available the services of Jason N. Ader, Scott LaPorta and such other employees of
Hayground Cove as may be agreed between the parties hereto from time to time (collectively, the
“Approved Employees”), including sourcing acquisition candidates; provided that Hayground Cove shall have no liability to the
Company for the acts and/or omissions of the Approved Employees while performing such services and
Hayground Cove shall not be regarded as having provided any service performed by the Approved
Employees for the Company (including, but not limited to, the giving of investment advice); and

     (v) provide investment advisory services to the Company, including, without limitation:

          (a) financial advice and services in connection with the direct or indirect
acquisition or disposition by the Company of the assets or operations of

 

 

           any business or entity, whether by purchase or sale of stock or assets, merger or
consolidation, or otherwise;

          (b) financial advice and services in connection with public or private equity and debt
financing;

          (c) financial advice and services, including assistance with respect to matters such
as cash management, treasury and financial controls;

          (d) corporate planning and corporate development advice and services;

          (e) strategic planning, including with respect to acquisitions;

          (f) public relations and press relations advice and services; and

          (g) such other advice and services necessitated by the ordinary course of the
Company’s business, as the Company may reasonably request from time to time.

     In exchange therefor, the Company shall pay Hayground Cove the sum of $10,000 per month,
commencing on the Admission Date and continuing monthly thereafter until the Termination Date. In
addition, the Company undertakes to reimburse Hayground Cove, monthly in arrears, all out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by Hayground Cove (including the Approved Employees) in performing the services
under this Agreement. Such reimbursement payments shall not exceed $10,000 per month.

     The Company and Hayground Cove accept and acknowledge that the Approved Employees may act in
circumstances which are in the interests of one of the parties hereto but not the other (a
“Conflict Situation”) and agree that neither the Company nor Hayground Cove shall have any
liability to the other in respect of any act or omission taken by the Approved Employees in a
Conflict Situation and further agree, for the benefit of the Approved Employees, that the Approved
Employees shall have no liability to either the Company or Hayground Cove in respect of any such
act or omission which is not in the interests of that one of the parties hereto (except where such
Approved Employee acts fraudulently).

     The Company acknowledges that the Approved Employees have obligations and duties to perform in
their capacity as employees of Hayground Cove and that Hayground Cove makes no guarantee that any
of the Approved Employees will devote any amount of time to the affairs of the Company. As used
herein, the “Approved Employees” include, without limitation, Christa Short, Samir Jain, Jennifer
Albrecht, Mira Cho, Evan Wax, Laura Conover and Timothy Collins, Jr.

     In the event that any of the Approved Employees ceases to be an employee of Hayground Cove,
Hayground Cove shall no longer be required to make the services of such person available to the
Company, but shall use its reasonable efforts to provide the services of another employee of
Hayground Cove having similar experience and skills to the extent Hayground Cove then has such an
employee.

     Hayground Cove acknowledges that it has read the Prospectus and understands that the Company
has established a trust fund (the “Trust Fund”) with the net proceeds of the Offering and
the insider private placement of insider warrants for the benefit of the public stockholders and
that the Company may disburse monies from the Trust Fund only (i) to the public stockholders in the
event of the conversion of their shares or the liquidation of the Company or (ii) to the Company
after it consummates an initial Business Combination described in the Prospectus. For and in
consideration of the Company agreeing to this agreement, Hayground Cove hereby agrees that it does
not have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Fund
(each a “Claim”) and hereby waives any Claim it may have in the future as a result of, or
arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with the Company, and will not seek
recourse against the Trust Fund for any reason whatsoever.
