                                    JAWZ INC.

         SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT made as of this 17th day of January 2001 between
JAWZ Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware with
offices at 400, 630 - 8th Avenue SW, Calgary, AB Canada T2P 1G6 (the "Company")
and Bathurst Limited, a corporation organized under the laws of the British West
Indies (the "Subscriber").

         WHEREAS, the Company desires to issue in a private placement
(this "Offering") up to 1,997,333 shares of common stock of the Company, par
value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), such private placement to be made
in accordance with an exemption provided by Rule 506 of Regulation D from the
registration provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act"), and from
exemptions from registration requirements provided by other securities
legislation which may be applicable to the Subscriber, on the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth and the Subscriber desires to acquire the
Common Stock as set forth on the signature page hereof;

         NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and the mutual
covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:

         I.       SUBSCRIPTION FOR COMMON STOCK AND REPRESENTATIONS BY AND
                  COVENANTS OF SUBSCRIBER

                  1.1   Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set
forth, the Subscriber hereby subscribes for and agrees to purchase from the
Company 1,997,333 shares of Common Stock at a price equal to $0.375 per share
(for a total purchase cost of $749,000.00), and the Company agrees to sell such
Common Stock to the Subscriber for said purchase price subject to the Company's
right to sell to the Subscriber such lesser number of shares of Common Stock as
the Company may, in its sole discretion, deem necessary or desirable. The
purchase price is payable by certified or bank check made payable to the Company
or by wire transfer of funds, contemporaneously with the execution and delivery
of this Subscription Agreement.

                  1.2   The Subscriber recognizes that the purchase of Common
Stock involves a high degree of risk in that (i) an investment in the Company is
highly speculative and only investors who can afford the loss of their entire
investment should consider investing in the Company and the Common Stock; (ii)
it may not be able to liquidate its investment; (iii) transferability of the
securities comprising the Common Stock is extremely limited; and (iv) the
Subscriber could suffer the loss of its entire investment, as well as other risk
factors as more fully set forth herein and in the Company's filings (the "34 Act
Filings") with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC")
filed in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act").

                  1.3   The Subscriber represents and warrants that:

                        1.3.1  The Subscriber is an "accredited investor" as
                               such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D
                               promulgated under the Act and that it is able to
                               bear the economic risk of an investment in the
                               Common Stock;

                                       1
<PAGE>   2

                        1.3.2  The Subscriber is purchasing the Common Stock its
                               own account, for investment purposes and not for
                               distribution or resale to others;

                        1.3.3  The Subscriber is not a "distributor" as defined
                               in the Act. However, if the Subscriber should be
                               deemed to be a distributor prior to reselling the
                               Common Stock, the Subscriber will send a notice
                               to each new subscriber of the Common Stock, as
                               the case may be, that such new subscriber is
                               subject to restrictions on resale as the
                               Subscriber;

                        1.3.4  The Subscriber understands and agrees that every
                               sale made by it must be made in compliance with
                               the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the
                               Act (expect the two-year holding period
                               requirement), including the filing of Form 144
                               with the SEC at the time of the sale, as required
                               under Rule 144; and

                        1.3.5  The Subscriber does not have a short position in
                               the Common Stock and will not have a short
                               position in such securities at any time prior to
                               the expiration of the restricted period.

                  1.4  The Subscriber acknowledges that it has prior investment
experience, including investment in non-listed and non-registered securities and
that it recognizes the highly speculative nature of this investment.

                  1.5  The Subscriber that it has reviewed the Company's 34 Act
Filings and it has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and receive
answers from duly authorized officers or other representatives of the Company
concerning the terms and conditions of this Offering.

                  1.6  The Subscriber acknowledges that this Offering may
involve tax consequences. The Subscriber acknowledges that it must retain his
own professional advisors to evaluate the tax and other consequences of an
investment in the Common Stock.

                  1.7  The Subscriber acknowledges that this Offering has not
been reviewed by the SEC (or any other regulatory body) because of the Company's
representations that this is intended to be a nonpublic offering pursuant to
Sections 4(2) or 3(b) of the Act.

                  1.8  The Subscriber understands that Rule 144 (the "Rule")
promulgated under the Act requires, among other conditions, a one year holding
period prior to the resale (in limited amounts) of securities acquired in a
non-public offering without having to satisfy the registration requirements
under the Act. The Subscriber understands that the Company makes no
representation or warranty regarding its fulfillment in the future of any
reporting requirements under the Exchange Act, or its dissemination to the
public of any current financial or other information concerning the Company, as
is required by the Rule as one of the conditions of its availability. The
Subscriber understands and

                                       2
<PAGE>   3

hereby acknowledges that the Company is under no obligation to register the
securities comprising the Common Stock under the Act, with the exception of
certain registration rights set forth in Article III herein. The Subscriber
consents that the Company may, if it desires, permit the transfer of the Common
Stock out of its name only when its request for transfer is accompanied by an
opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that neither the sale
nor the proposed transfer results in a violation of the Act or any applicable
state "blue sky" laws (collectively "Securities Laws").

                  1.9  The Subscriber consents to the placement of a legend on
any share certificate evidencing the Common Stock stating that the shares have
not been registered under the Act and setting forth or referring to the
restrictions on transferability and sale thereof.

                  1.10  The Subscriber acknowledges that if it is a NASD member
firm, it must give the notice required by the NASD's Rules of Fair Practice.

                  1.11  The Subscriber is a corporation, and represents and
warrants that: (i) it was not formed for the purpose of investing in the
Company; (ii) it is authorized and otherwise duly qualified to purchase and hold
the Common Stock; and (iii) that this Subscription Agreement has been duly and
validly authorized, executed and delivered constitutes the legal, binding and
enforceable obligation of the undersigned.

                  1.12  The Subscriber is a resident of Canada. As such, the
Subscriber hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full
observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to
subscribe for the securities comprising the Common Stock or any use of this
Agreement, including (i) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the
purchase and resale of the Common Stock, (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions
applicable to such purchase, (iii) any governmental or other consents that may
need to be obtained, and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any,
that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of
the securities comprising the Common Stock. Such Subscriber's subscription and
payment for, and its continued ownership of the Common Stock, will not violate
any applicable securities or other laws of the Subscriber's jurisdiction.

its directors and officers, and any underwriter (as defined in the Act) for such

indemnity provisions such indemnified party will, if a claim thereof is to be
made against the indemnifying party pursuant to the provisions of said paragraph
(a) or (b), promptly notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof;
but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from
any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than
hereunder. In case such action is brought against any indemnified party and it
notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying
party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent that it may

party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably
concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other
indemnified parties which are different from or in addition to those available
to the indemnified party, or if there is a conflict of interest which would
prevent counsel for the indemnifying

                                       6
<PAGE>   7

party from also representing the indemnified party, the indemnified party or
parties have the right to select separate counsel to participate in the defense
of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. After notice from
the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume
the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such
indemnified party pursuant to the provisions of said paragraph (a) or (b) for
any legal or other expense subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in
connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of
investigation, unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed counsel in
accordance with the provisions of the preceding sentence, (ii) the indemnifying
party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to
represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after the notice of the
commencement of the action or (iii) the indemnifying party has authorized the
employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the
indemnifying party.

                                    JAWZ INC.

         SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT made as of this 27th day of December, 2000
between JAWZ Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of
Delaware with offices at 400, 630 - 8th Avenue SW, Calgary, AB Canada T2P 1G6
(the "Company") and Thomson Kernaghan & Co. Limited, a corporation organized
under the laws of the Province of Ontario (the "Subscriber").

         WHEREAS, the Company desires to issue in a private placement (this
"Offering") 2,666,667 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.001
per share (the "Common Stock") at a total cost of to the Subscriber of One
Million Dollars ($1,000,000), in a private placement in accordance with an
exemption provided by Regulation S from the registration provisions of the
Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act"), on the terms and conditions hereinafter set
forth and the Subscriber desires to acquire the Common Stock as set forth on the
signature page hereof;

         NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and the mutual
covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:

         I.       SUBSCRIPTION FOR COMMON STOCK AND REPRESENTATIONS BY AND
                  COVENANTS OF SUBSCRIBER

                  1.1   Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set
forth, the Subscriber hereby subscribes for and agrees to purchase from the
Company 2,666,667 shares of Common Stock at a price equal to $0.375 per share
(for a total purchase cost of $1,000,000), and the Company agrees to sell such
Common Stock to the Subscriber for said purchase price subject to the Company's
right to sell to the Subscriber such lesser number of shares of Common Stock as
the Company may, in its sole discretion, deem necessary or desirable. The
purchase price is payable by certified or bank check made payable to the
Company or by wire transfer of funds, contemporaneously with the execution and
delivery of this Subscription Agreement.

                  1.2   The Subscriber recognizes that the purchase of Common
Stock involves a high degree of risk in that (i) an investment in the Company is
highly speculative and only investors who can afford the loss of their entire
investment should consider investing in the Company and the Common Stock; (ii)
it may not be able to liquidate its investment; (iii) transferability of the
securities comprising the Common Stock is extremely limited; and (iv) the
Subscriber could suffer the loss of its entire investment, as well as other risk
factors as more fully set forth herein and in the Company's filings (the "34 Act
Filings") with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC")
filed in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act").

                  1.3   The Subscriber represents and warrants that:

                        1.3.1  No offer or sale of the Common Stock was made to
                               the Subscriber in the United States;

                        1.3.2  The Subscriber is not purchasing the Common Stock
                               for the account or on behalf of any U.S. Person;

                                       1
<PAGE>   2

                        1.3.3  The Subscriber has not made any pre-arrangement
                               to transfer the Common Stock to a U.S. Person or
                               to return the Common Stock to the United States
                               securities markets (which includes short sales in
                               the United States within the one-year restricted
                               period under Regulation S to be covered by
                               delivery of the Common Stock) and is not
                               purchasing the Common Stock as part of any plan
                               or scheme to evade the registration requirements
                               of the Securities Act;

                        1.3.4  All offers and sales of the Common Stock by the
                               Subscriber in the United States or to U.S.
                               Persons or otherwise whether prior to the
                               expiration or after the expiration of the
                               one-year restricted period shall be made only
                               pursuant to a registration of the Common Stock,
                               as the case may be, under the Securities Act or
                               an exemption from registration. The Subscriber
                               also understands that the Company will, in order
                               to approve removal of the restrictive legend from
                               certificates evidencing the Common Stock, require
                               from the Subscriber certain written
                               representations to indicate that the sale of the
                               Common Stock was made in a transaction that
                               complies with the provisions of Regulation S and
                               may require a legal opinion that removal of the
                               legend is appropriate;

                        1.3.5  The Subscriber has not engaged in any "directed
                               selling efforts" (as defined in Regulation S) in
                               the United States regarding the Common Stock, nor
                               has it engaged in any act intended to or which
                               reasonably might have the effect of
                               preconditioning the U.S. market for the resale of
                               the Common Stock being subscribed;

                        1.3.6  The Subscriber is not a "distributor" as defined
                               in Regulation S. However, if the Subscriber
                               should be deemed to be a distributor prior to
                               reselling the Common Stock to a non-U.S. Person
                               during the one-year restricted period, the
                               Subscriber will send a notice to each new
                               Subscriber of the Common Stock, as the case may
                               be, that such new Subscriber is subject to the
                               restrictions of Regulation S during the
                               restricted period;

                        1.3.7  The Subscriber is not an officer, director or
                               "affiliate" (as that term is defined in Rule 405
                               under the Securities Act) with the Company or an
                               "underwriter" or "dealer" (as such terms are
                               defined in the federal securities laws of the
                               United States), and the purchase of the Common
                               Stock by the Subscriber is not a transaction (or
                               part of a series of transactions) that is part of
                               any plan or scheme to evade the registration
                               provisions of the Securities Act. If the
                               Subscriber becomes an affiliate of Company at any
                               time after purchasing the Common Stock, the
                               Subscriber understands and agrees that every sale
                               made by it thereafter must be made in compliance
                               with the provisions of Rule 144 of the

                                       2
<PAGE>   3

                               Securities Act (expect for the two-year holding
                               period requirement), including the filing of Form
                               144 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
                               Commission at the time of the sale, as required
                               under Rule 144. The Subscriber understands and
                               agrees that the provisions of Rule 144, if at any
                               time applicable to it, are separate and apart
                               from and independent of any restrictions imposed
                               by Regulation S and will apply even after the
                               expiration of the applicable one-year restricted
                               period under Regulation S;

                        1.3.8  The Subscriber does not have a short position in
                               the Common Stock and will not have a short
                               position in such securities at any time prior to
                               the expiration of the restricted period; and

                        1.3.9  If at any time after the expiration of the
                               one-year restricted period under Regulation S the
                               Subscriber wishes to transfer or attempts to
                               transfer the Common Stock to a U.S. Person,
                               Subscriber agrees to notify the Company if at
                               such time it is an "affiliate" the Company or is
                               then acting as an "underwriter," "dealer" or
                               "distributor" as to the Common Stock (as such
                               terms are defined in the federal securities laws
                               of the United States or the regulations
                               promulgated thereunder, including, but not
                               limited to, Regulation S), or if such transfer is
                               being made as part of a plan or scheme to evade
                               the registration provisions of the Securities
                               Act.

                  1.4  The Subscriber acknowledges that it has prior investment
experience, including investment in non-listed and non-registered securities and
that it recognizes the highly speculative nature of this investment.

                  1.5  The Subscriber that it has reviewed the Company's 34 Act
Filings and it has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and receive
answers from duly authorized officers or other representatives of the Company
concerning the terms and conditions of this Offering.

involve tax consequences. The Subscriber acknowledges that it must retain his
own professional advisors to evaluate the tax and other consequences of an
investment in the Common Stock.

                  1.7  The Subscriber acknowledges that this Offering has not
been reviewed by the SEC (or any other regulatory body) because of the Company's
representations that this is intended to be a nonpublic offering.

                  1.8  The Subscriber understands that Rule 144 (the "Rule")
promulgated under the Act requires, among other conditions, a one year holding
period prior to the resale (in limited amounts) of securities acquired in a
non-public offering without having to satisfy the registration requirements
under the Act. The Subscriber understands that the Company makes no
representation or warranty regarding its fulfillment in the future of any
reporting requirements under the Exchange Act, or its dissemination to the
public of any current financial or other information concerning the Company, as

                                       3
<PAGE>   4

is required by the Rule as one of the conditions of its availability. The
Subscriber understands and hereby acknowledges that the Company is under no
obligation to register the securities comprising the Common Stock under the Act,
with the exception of certain registration rights set forth in Article III
herein. The Subscriber consents that the Company may, if it desires, permit the
transfer of the Common Stock out of its name only when its request for transfer
is accompanied by an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company
that neither the sale nor the proposed transfer results in a violation of the
Act or any applicable state "blue sky" laws (collectively "Securities Laws").

                  1.9  The Subscriber consents to the placement of a legend on
any share certificate evidencing the Common Stock stating that the shares have
not been registered under the Act and setting forth or referring to the
restrictions on transferability and sale thereof.

                  1.10  The Subscriber acknowledges that if it is a NASD member
firm, it must give the notice required by the NASD's Rules of Fair Practice.

                  1.11  The Subscriber is a corporation, and represents and
warrants that: (i) it was not formed for the purpose of investing in the
Company; (ii) it is authorized and otherwise duly qualified to purchase and hold
the Common Stock; and (iii) that this Subscription Agreement has been duly and
validly authorized, executed and delivered constitutes the legal, binding and
enforceable obligation of the undersigned.

                  1.12  The Subscriber is not a United States person, but is a
resident of Ontario, Canada. As such, the Subscriber hereby represents that it
has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction
in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the securities comprising the
Common Stock or any use of this Agreement, including (i) the legal requirements
within its jurisdiction for the purchase and resale of the Common Stock, (ii)
any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (iii) any
governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained, and (iv) the income
tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase,
holding, redemption, sale or transfer of the securities comprising the Common
Stock. Such Subscriber's subscription and payment for, and its continued
ownership of the Common Stock, will not violate any applicable securities or
other laws of the Subscriber's jurisdiction.

its directors and officers, and any underwriter (as defined in the Act) for such
Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or such underwriter
within the meaning of the Act, from and against, and will reimburse such Holder
and each such underwriter and controlling person with respect to, any and all
loss, damage, liability, cost and expense to which such holder or any such
underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the Act or otherwise,
insofar as such losses, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses are caused by
any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained
in such registration statement, any prospectus contained therein or any
amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission
or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that
the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such
loss, damage, liability, cost or expenses arises out of or is based upon an
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so
made in conformity with information furnished by or on behalf of such Holder,
its directors and officers, such underwriter or such controlling person in
writing specifically for use in the preparation thereof.

                        (b)  Each Holder of Registrable Shares included in a
registration pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.1 hereof will indemnify and
hold harmless the Company, its directors and officers, any controlling person
and any underwriter from and against, and will reimburse the Company, its
directors and officers, any controlling person and any underwriter with respect
to, any and all loss, damage, liability, cost or expense to which the Company or
any controlling person and/or any underwriter may become subject under the Act
or otherwise, insofar as such losses, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses
are caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material
fact contained in such registration statement, any prospectus contained therein
or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the
extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission was so made in conformity with written information furnished by
or on behalf of such Holder specifically for use in the preparation thereof.

                        (c)  Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party
pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 3.4 of notice
of the commencement of any action involving the subject matter of the foregoing
indemnity provisions such indemnified party will, if a claim thereof is to be
made against the indemnifying party pursuant to the provisions of said paragraph
(a) or (b), promptly notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof;
but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from
any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than
hereunder. In case such action is brought against any indemnified party and it
notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying
party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent that it may
wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume
the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party,
provided, however, if the defendants in any action include both the indemnified
party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably
concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other
indemnified parties which are different from or in addition to those available
to the indemnified party, or if there is a conflict of interest which would
prevent counsel for the indemnifying

party from also representing the indemnified party, the indemnified party or
parties have the right to select separate counsel to participate in the defense
of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. After notice from
the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume
the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such
indemnified party pursuant to the provisions of said paragraph (a) or (b) for
any legal or other expense subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in
connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of
investigation, unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed counsel in
accordance with the provisions of the preceding sentence, (ii) the indemnifying
party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to
represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after the notice of the
commencement of the action or (iii) the indemnifying party has authorized the
employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the
indemnifying party.
